In the darkness, another invisible dragon attacks. Compared to the guardians stationed in the Dragon Palace, they are more violent and ferocious, like blind beasts locked in a cage. They know how big the cage is and what its structure is, because they always live here. Their ferocity may be related to the deprivation of sight, but Bai Ya had no way of verifying it. He held the Tridacna in his arms for protection with one hand, and held the Demon-Sealing Blade tightly with the other hand. As a result, he could not draw his weapon.
Attack and defense are both problematic. The strength and number of the enemy are unknown, but the situation will only be more severe than what he has encountered before. I don’t know if it’s a benefit or not, except for the ground, even if you get hit, your bones won’t be crushed. The pain is certain, and if the power they charge at is not protected, it is not impossible to cut someone off at the waist.
But... that person on the ground, that person was most likely the person Bai Ya was looking for, and he was probably dead. He couldn't even get close, couldn't bring the evidence back, after all, even saving his own life was such a luxury right now.
Bai Ya finally seized the opportunity and rolled onto the back of a dragon. He grabbed the dragon's horn with one hand, causing a frantic shaking. Eager to throw him off, the dragon ran aimlessly through the darkness. Many times, it bumped into other large fish or similar species. This triggered a new wave of agitation, and it immediately became the target of many dragons.
Another invisible dragon. Bai Ya felt that this "mount" seemed to have been hit, approximately in the middle and rear. The force was so great that he was suddenly thrown off without paying attention. The clam was pushed out, and he only saw a subtle light overflowing from a gap. Maybe later, the outside world will fall into darkness, and it will no longer shine.
Bai Ya sank downwards, looking at the clam above him, and then sank with him. The gap opened a little, and the dim orb actually rolled out from inside. It seems heavier because it falls faster than the clam. At this speed, Bai Ya could just reach out his hand and catch it. But this thing immediately attracted more enemies - or rather, the owner of this place.
Several dragons came straight towards him. The completely exposed orb illuminated Bai Ya's sight with the remaining light. He was surprised to see that the faces of those dragons were uglier and more terrifying than the two he had seen before. Their faces were covered with bumpy tumors, their mouths were so big that they seemed to be cracked, and the cracks on both sides almost spread to the sides of their bodies. Their eyes also come in many colors, but are all gray and solid, probably because they don't need vision. Those dragon horns were not as beautiful and symmetrical as the ones he had seen before. They were twisted and weird. If he could see them before, he would never want to catch such horns. No wonder, at that time, he felt very uncomfortable in his hands. It turned out that the rugged horns had fine barbs, like hard, cat's tongues.
Like the fish in the deep sea, the dragon in the deep sea is also extremely terrifying.
This is not good, Bai Ya thought to himself. But it was too late, those strange dragons rushed straight towards him, not giving him any time to draw the knife with his backhand.
...maybe not without a knife.
Without time to think, he made an immediate move—despite the risk of futility. But then, at least, he confirmed something that he had regarded as an illusion.
The Demon-Sealing Blade was loose - when he was attacked by the Azure Dragon and stabbed its eye with a knife. At that moment, he seemed to have the illusion that the blade was going to slip from the scabbard, but it never happened. He didn't pay much attention to it, although at that moment he did feel that the Demon-Sealing Blade had lost the sense of connection that the blade and sheath originally had.
He pulled out a small section of the knife - a very short section, a long turn.
Before the dragon ran towards him, the dim jewel accurately landed on the unsheathed blade.
Bai Ya suddenly opened his eyes wide. He was sure that he was right, absolutely not. In the blink of an eye when the jewelry hit the blade, tiny cracks appeared on its exterior. It was like a bird egg that was suddenly pecked open, and the cracks were still spreading. The dragons also froze there very suddenly, as if they were frozen. That expression, that movement, all stopped completely, so close to him, but it seemed like time was frozen.
There seemed to be something alive approaching in the distance. It was very fast and very big, and it felt like a dragon. But Bai Ya has no chance to know. He couldn't see clearly what happened next - the bright light splashing from inside the jewelry enveloped everything.
At the same time, an inexplicable sleepiness came along with the light.
A feeling of dizziness, labor pain, and exhaustion appeared in his mind, as if he had been beaten. His strength was about to be drained away, but he still held the Demon Sealing Blade tightly. His other hand stretched forward, unconsciously grabbing the shadow of the clam in the light.
Bai Ya closed his eyes unwillingly. Then he fell into a strange dream.
In the dream, he became someone else - maybe not a human being, at least not himself. He couldn't see his hands, his body, or anything about himself. He couldn't feel anything: the water flow, the temperature, the wind, it was as if everything didn't exist, but he was glad that he was in it, at least that was the scene he saw. But he doesn't belong here.
He jumped up from the deep sea without any resistance, just simply moved his perspective upward.
He went from desolation to prosperity, and from abundance to prosperity.
There are all kinds of people working hard to stay alive, and there are monsters. It can be as small as an ant poking its head at the tip of a leaf in the early morning, or as large as a whale swimming among scattered schools of fish. Each one is alive, each one is clear, he sees everything at the same time. He saw people coming and going, and at the fruit and vegetable stall in the center of the market, there was a small scar on the back of the third deep red fruit from the left; he saw a golden bird flapping its wings from the branches and flying towards the dark forest ahead. ; He saw a fish the same color as the sand and gravel leaping up in the sea area with the densest seaweed, swallowing a prey as big as its own body; he saw everything, and saw the fragmented islands like broken plates, erratically. They are spread in all directions of the nearly central island country. 877 good book network
He has his own eyes at different heights and different breadths. Dark caves, deep oceans, high clear skies...all the scenes overlap and overlap in our eyes, creating a folded and properly stored world.
Its packaging was torn.
Bai Ya felt as if he was high in the sky, maybe on the ground, or maybe still at the bottom of the sea. He seemed to be among the crowd, among the monsters, among the overwhelming swarms of beasts and insects; but he also seemed to be empty.
He saw something indescribable, which made him frown...if he still had a physical form.
That thing... was huge, extremely huge, too big to be described in words. It is entrenched among the islands, sleeping at the bottom of the boundless ocean, and its long and narrow body fills every gap. It clings to the cliffs with its roots, or buries part of its body under the sea sand. It has no color, or it has every color, but each color does not belong to it, but to the living things or dead things that are born on it. In this dream, Bai Ya rarely could not see through its body and understand the true color inside. Maybe white, he guessed, it was just a feeling. He could not find the thing's head, nor could he see its tail. It might be an ouroboros... This is just a feeling, Bai Ya is not sure.
It's... moving. No, it's growing. It fell asleep, Bai Ya knew. He didn't know when it fell asleep or when it should wake up. Is it dead? Maybe still alive.
Its soul has been sucked out of it. Or maybe he abandoned it himself.
Bai Ya could almost hear the sound of it climbing... Its abdomen and sharp claws were rubbing silently. A tsunami, a storm, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption all originate from its every move. It crawls unconsciously, trapped here, never to ascend to heaven. It grows very slowly, but it is deafening: a thunder without lightning, a landslide that no one witnesses, a roar of a sleeping giant...
One day, it will wake up. Will it still be dormant here? Will it soar into the sky, soar up, and rush into the sky, leaving a scar, a ruin, and the remains of some civilization on the earth; or will its tiny soul no longer be able to support this huge, rusty body? . After the body is dead, it just piles up, meaninglessly and irregularly grabbing things that can be filled, and also absorbing spiritual energy from somewhere, like a plant extracting nutrients from the earth, or parasitism. Its consciousness is so scattered and so small. This long-separated body is so strange to this reincarnated soul.
And all this is ultimately unspeakable.
They haven't happened yet.
In a certain moment... it may be long enough for him to browse the entire Jiutian Kingdom and its affiliated islands one by one, or it may be so short that it is just a blink of an eye. In a moment, he returns to the sea, returns to the depths of the sea, returns to This is a place without light. In his hand was the Demon-Sealing Blade, and the dragons were still frozen in front of him, motionless.
A handsome young man in white clothes flashed past him, looking like a ghost.
He finally woke up for real.
In the center of the field of vision was the dazzling sun.
"You're awake!" He heard Miss Quan's voice first. He thought he heard it wrong. The voice then shouted, "Mr. Bai is awake! Come quickly!"
There was pain everywhere in the body, and when I turned my head slightly, I felt a stab of pain in my cervical spine. Miss Quan was lying on the beach far away from him, and the seawater occasionally brushed against her body. She suddenly stood up hard and wanted to get closer. Bai Ya still felt that he was dreaming and was not awake enough. How did Miss Quan come to the shore? Will her family allow it? Won't she get hurt?
...Is this the shore?
That's right, only the world on land can see the sun. He took a deep breath, and there was still a thick, fishy smell unique to seawater in his nose. Just before Miss Quan actually moved over, he heard chaotic footsteps. Qi Huan and Liu Shenghan both came from the shore with unknown herbs, and Shenghan also had a simple medicine pestle in his hand.
"How long have I been asleep?"
He wanted to ask this question, but his pronunciation was a little off-key. It seemed that because he had not spoken for so long, his voice was almost hoarse and inaudible.
"It didn't take long...just two days. You were fished out the night before yesterday, and there was a gap of one day. This is noon on the third day."
This is the voice of Lord Shuoyue.
