The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 769 - 275 The Source of Danger
Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden were sucked away in an instant, and Qian Qian and Liu Ji both reacted.
The door, opened by Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden, might not last very long.
Without any hesitation, they followed through the door, only to feel an overwhelming pressure as soon as they stepped in.
Liu Ji’s bones made a cracking and splintering noise, and in an instant, several of his bones were fractured.
What kind of place is this, so perilous?
Qian Qian was slightly better off, but she also felt suffocated, fearing that if this continued for a while longer, she might be crushed to death.
At the moment of crisis, Lin Yun flicked two drops of blood their way, landing on Liu Ji and Qian Qian, helping to offset the suppression.
Liu Ji felt his body lighten and, not having time to thank Lin Yun, he quickly looked at the white lotus flower that the Snow Maiden had given him, which was Zhang Biyu’s True Spirit.
Ensuring the lotus was undamaged, Liu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps, that strange power here wasn’t targeted at Zhang Biyu, who only had a soul?
Once Qian Qian had recovered, she quickly surveyed the surroundings and found they were in an extremely cramped space, very narrow on both sides, with the only light source coming from more than fifty meters ahead, where a skeleton was leaning against a Jade Wall.
Despite being just a skeleton, it still gave Qian Qian a strong sense of impending doom.
"Be careful."
There was no way back, limited space to dodge, just a narrow passage ahead, and the enemy was right in front.
Lin Yun also had the feeling that a BOSS battle was about to start; something in his heart felt uneasy, as he anticipated that the bones in front of him might suddenly stand up and obliterate them all.
As for Canglan, she had finished munching on the ox horn and was now slurping Meng Po’s Cold Skin like noodles.
She didn’t feel the danger, only focusing on the Earth Scripture scattered on the ground.
One scripture could transform reincarnations, and even though it was now shattered, the attraction was still very strong for her.
It was not just because of the power of the Earth Scripture, but also because touching such ancient relics might reveal forgotten histories.
However, Canglan did not urge Lin Yun to collect the Earth Scripture fragments; the atmosphere was too eerie, and she wasn’t confident she could ensure Lin Yun’s safety.
If it weren’t for Lin Yun suddenly feeling a change in a part of his body, they might have been stuck there.
Everyone could sense that the crisis was right before their eyes and did not dare to move forward rashly, while the skeleton remained unchanged, maintaining the same posture.
And now, Lin Yun felt a heat coming from somewhere on his body, reached out to grab, and pulled out a fragment of a scroll.
This was exactly the Phantom of the Earth Scripture that Yuxuan had given him; Lin Yun had always kept it safe, and at this time, the Phantom of the Earth Scripture finally showed a vision.
Previously, there were only enigmatic patterns to see, but now Lin Yun could finally read what was written on it. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"...Reincarnation is unending, sentient beings are undying..."
There were only two sentences without context, but the amount of information they contained was immense.
Reincarnation is unending, sentient beings are undying, but reincarnation is now broken...
Well, Lin Yun had quite the feeling of seeing a diagnosis for the world’s condition.
No hope left, might as well wait for death, farewell.
If back then Yuxuan had known that the content on the Phantom of the Earth Scripture he had risked his life to get was this, he probably would have been depressed to death!
After all, he had ventured into the Netherworld to find a way out for all beings.
Fortunately, he couldn’t understand it then and thus could retain some hope.
As he saw it, at least he had passed on the spark of hope.
But, fate is hard to change!
Lin Yun sighed inwardly and continued to calmly observe the changes on the field.
With the appearance of the Phantom of the Earth Scripture, the scroll in the skeleton’s hand and the shattered scrolls on the ground both began to glow.
The small fragment in Lin Yun’s hand also quickly flew towards the scroll, but in the end, it didn’t land on the scroll; instead, it crumbled into pieces, fluttering down onto the skeleton’s head.
"Be careful."
Just like Lin Yun, Qian Qian also felt that this skeleton was about to suddenly stand up and harm them.
Lin Yun even directly let Canglan grant him power.
While Canglan was still slurping her noodles, though reluctant in her heart, she still lent her power to Lin Yun.
She would have to fall into a deep slumber at least once more before she could formally condense a divine body and revive to return.
Now that she had power and fortune, the fortune of three Gods of the Netherworld made her ecstatic.
But even Immortals have to abide by fundamental laws, and reincarnation of the flesh isn’t that quick.
Since she couldn’t fight personally for now, she could only lend her power to Lin Yun.
Fortunately, Lin Yun would not waste her power, even perhaps handling it better than she could have.
Lin Yun was definitely not an ordinary Mortal, Canglan could be sure of that.
"I’ve given you all I have; you must survive!"
As Canglan slurped on her "Meng Po Cold Skin," she clenched her little fists and cheered Lin Yun on.
With the Divine Power from Canglan, Lin Yun suddenly felt confident.
He now was, in essence, as strong as a fighter in the Divine Emperor Realm, and with the unique Fire Seed within his body, which could produce miraculous effects when combined with Divine Power, his combat strength had reached the apex of this world.
Of course, there were some beings who exceeded that apex.
Lin Yun was not going to compare himself with such entities.
With this power within him, Lin Yun wasn’t so timid anymore.
"I’ll go scout ahead for you."
"No, it’s dangerous."
Qian Qian grabbed Lin Yun’s hand, and he simply smiled and said, "Even if it’s dangerous, someone has to scout. I can’t expect my women to take the risk, can I?"
Recalling there was also Liu Ji, Lin Yun hastily added, "It might not be useful to have Mortals scout ahead either. Let me do it. You should be able to feel the change in me."
At hearing Lin Yun say "my women," Qian Qian’s heart was filled with a mixture of vexation and shyness.
She was not Lin Yun’s woman!
But at this moment, Lin Yun had already volunteered, and she couldn’t bear to deny his words, so she could only blush in silence, pretending not to hear.
"I will accompany you."
The Snow Maiden asserted firmly, holding Fulong, indicating she had the power to protect herself.
Lin Yun nodded, not refusing.
Not wanting to be outdone, Qian Qian quickly stood to Lin Yun’s right.
Liu Ji looked at Lin Yun’s left and right guardians with a hint of despondency in his heart.
It wasn’t that he envied Lin Yun for having the company of beautiful women, but that he felt he hadn’t been any help on this journey, merely a bystander.
Reflecting on his own heroic life, Liu Ji now felt reduced to a mere underling.
With his spirit, Liu Ji naturally felt somewhat dejected.
It was then that the white lotus in his hand suddenly gave him a gently comforting feeling.
"Are you trying to comfort me?"
Liu’s heart warmed as he said composedly, "Don’t worry, I won’t lose myself."
With that said, Liu Ji held the white lotus and followed behind Lin Yun.
He didn’t try to act tough, knowing that the safest place was by Lin Yun’s side.
The distance of fifty meters was short, and even though Lin Yun and the others proceeded with great caution, moving slowly, it only took a few minutes for them to reach the skeleton.
Almost face to face with it, the skeleton remained unmoved, as if it truly were just an ordinary skeleton.
Yet the most terrifying thing was that even though the skeleton showed no change, Lin Yun and the others all felt an extreme danger, making them even think about fleeing.
Suddenly, Lin Yun looked towards the shattered Earth Scripture.
They had always felt the danger came from that skeleton; perhaps, they had been wrong from the start...
