"You must know that since the world has undergone drastic changes, things in the sky have also changed in ways that go against common sense. The moon has disappeared, the sun has become alienated, and the stars in the sky have disappeared without a trace."
Dong Xueyan's words contained uncontrollable exclamation and even less perceptible exploration. “But here, sometimes you can actually see stars.
"There is no doubt, they are indeed stars!"
Tu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Dong Xueyan strangely.
Something was wrong with Dong Xueyan's state from just now. At first, he thought it was because the other party was recalling the past, but now it seems that it is not the same thing!
"What do you want to say?" Tubo asked.
Dong Xueyan turned a deaf ear to him, as if a fire suddenly lit up in the depths of his pupils, so hot, he said: "The time I spent living here was actually very depressing.
"The whole day of exhaustion and experimentation is filled with every minute and every second. The whole person's nerves are like a bundle of steel wires twisted together, and they will burst if they are not careful.
"Faced with this situation, Fan Siguo and I both have our own ways of dealing with negative emotions.
"He likes to climb to the top of the tree and wait for the stars to appear. Sometimes he won't get down from the tree for several hours looking at the stars. He is very obsessed."
When Tu Bo heard this, his suspicion became more and more intense.
At this moment, he already wondered whether Dong Xueyan was accidentally eroded by the spirit of the inner demon when he was diving into the sea just now, which is why his words and deeds are so different now.
As soon as he thought of this, the vertical mark between Tu Bo's eyebrows opened slightly, and a divine eye loomed, preparing to take a look at Dong Xueyan to see if there was really any inner demon left in his body.
"ha……"
Unexpectedly, Dong Xueyan suddenly let out a short laugh, with excitement and excitement in his smile. In an instant, he grinned and burst into laughter, "Hahahahaha..." His expression was almost crazy!
Dong Xueyan suddenly turned his head to look at Tu Bo and shouted excitedly: "I understand, I understand everything!"
"What do you understand?" Tu Bo was stunned.
"go!"
Dong Xueyan's thin face was twisted into a ball, his fists were clenched, and he urged: "Hurry up and bring up the round stone in the cave, hurry up, bring it up now!"
"I understand, it's already being delivered."
Tubo nodded immediately.
Facing Dong Xueyan's commanding tone, Tu Bo didn't feel angry or anything like that. Instead, he felt relieved. It seemed that Dong Xueyan was not affected by the inner demon.
Immediately, he asked curiously: "You can tell me this time, what did you find?"
"I know what the holes and scratches on that boulder really mean!" Dong Xueyan looked up at the stars above his head again, his eyes flashing with tears before he knew it.
“Record the facts, analyze them to find the reasons, and finally draw a conclusion.
"This is something Fan Siguo often talks about."
At the moment when his vision was blurred by tears, Dong Xueyan seemed to have a tough and tough man's face appearing in front of him. He immediately closed his eyes hard and said: "Si Guo's extraordinary ability is related to the spirit. Years of exercise have made his perception very sharp. Many It’s because of this that he can stand in a stalemate and coexist with the shadow.”
"He is not dead. He has been staying in the Strange Forest all this time. He left a special mark on the stone, hoping that one day..." When he said this, Dong Xue's words suddenly became difficult and his mouth was full of bitterness. : "If I can find it, I can know the secret hidden behind this forest!
"Or wait until the day he comes back."
After hearing these words, Tu Bo secretly thought: "Is it because of the characteristics of extraordinary abilities?"
Combined with the scenes he saw after arriving at that time, it is not difficult to restore the whole story now.
After Fan Siguo was swallowed by the shadow, not only did he not die, but he could also maintain a certain degree of sanity. However, he still suffered from strong limitations and was unable to even contact Dong Xueyan for many years.
However, there is also a possibility, as Dong Xueyan just said.
That is, during the years when Fan Siguo and Shadow coexisted, he discovered a more important and more dangerous secret. Due to this possibility, the former would definitely not drag Dong Xueyan into the whirlpool.
Until the arrival of Tu Bo.
It took Fan Siguo more than ten years to finally have the strength to fight against the shadow, but unfortunately he failed in the end. Tu Bo appeared and cut off the shadow's head.
Regarding this point, Dong Xueyan next to him had already understood the key when he noticed that the holes in the pebbles were connected with the stars. No matter which one it was, he was heartbroken.
"coming!"
In just one breath, the black turtle carried the boulders and climbed from the Zhuohai to the cliff.
Tu Bo took advantage of the situation and looked at Dong Xueyan.
The latter raised his body and jumped to the black turtle in an instant. He checked it carefully and quickly raised the boulder high and pointed the hole above it at the stars in the sky.
One breath!
Two breaths!
The next moment, an incredible scene appeared.
The holes and scratches on the boulder suddenly glowed with hazy white light, like ripples on the water's surface. A ray of condensed light connected several holes in series, forming an arrow faintly at the end.
Seeing this, Dong Xueyan couldn't help but open his mouth. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and finally he seemed to use all his strength to spit out: "It is true. It may lead us to find the secret hidden behind it."
Tu Bo looked at the greatly changed round stone in surprise and weirdness, and said doubtfully:
"I have inspected this stone in detail before and found nothing strange. How come it changes like this in your hands when it is aligned with the stars."
Dong Xueyan did not shift his gaze, and moved his lips: "I told you, I think the shadow is the product of the resonance of the inner demon's energy and some kind of energy. I think this round stone has a similar existence."
When Tu Bo heard this, he looked at the starry sky, his eyes darkened slightly: "You mean, those stars have the special energy you mentioned?"
"pretty close."
Dong Xueyan felt the coldness on his fingertips when he touched the round stone, thought for a moment, and replied: "The material of this round stone is very special, and its function is more like a receiver.
"The holes and scratches on it should be Siguo's modification."
"That being the case..."
Tu Bo's eyes suddenly became profound. "Where will it take us?"
Dong Xueyan just glanced at Tu Bo.
Are you afraid of it?
The meaning in his eyes was extremely clear.
As a ghost of a good person, Tu Bo really didn't know how to write the word "fear". A smile appeared on his lips. Although his tone was not high, he was full of scorn and domineering, "As long as I am here, I guarantee that no one can hurt you at all."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
There was also a raging fire burning in Dong Xueyan's chest.
Today was extraordinary for him after all.
"Set off!"
Tu Bo and Dong Xueyan immediately rushed towards the direction pointed by the arrow.
…
Fifteen minutes later.
"Roar--"
In the rising dust mist, a strange python with six wings on its back screamed and fell to the ground. Its muscles and bones were shattered by the awe-inspiring force, and it was dead in an instant.
"tread!"
As the cold wind blew, a huge black shadow became clearer and clearer.
"Obviously not here."
The armor-clad Tubo's brows and eyes moved in all directions, and he could see through the reality. However, he did not find anything strange at all. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "By the way, you may have made a wrong judgment."
Standing not far away, Dong Xueyan, holding a round stone, did not answer. He frowned and stared at the stone surface, adjusting the angle from time to time to compare the stars hanging in the night sky.
Tubo shook his head helplessly.
They traversed the entire strange forest, and the arrows revealed on the boulders never changed direction during the process, but they found nothing.
The lair of this ferocious beast is now the westernmost position, and beyond that it faces the turbid sea.
'Siguo made holes in the boulder not only to absorb unknown special energy, but also to correspond to the direction of the stars so that I could discover the key points. He knew I must have noticed something. '
Dong Xueyan is brainstorming.
With his understanding of Fan Siguo, he would not do anything in vain.
"What do these scratches mean?"
Dong Xueyan stroked the scratches all over the stone surface with his palms. They were messy and no valuable clues could be seen.
At this moment, he took a deep breath, and quickly suppressed all the sadness and anger, and became highly concentrated. "He is obviously in a weak position with the shadow, and every move is under its nose. If he wants to accomplish this, he must not attract the other party's attention!"
In other words, most of the scratches were actually made by the shadow himself, but the hints left by Fan Siguo were also hidden in them. What he had to do now was to find them out.
Thinking of this, Dong Xueyan narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
In an instant, the scratches suddenly came to life, twisting and arranging in front of him, and a thick line bypassed the arrow formed by the energy, slowly outlining an inverted triangle mountain.
A bright light suddenly appeared in Dong Xueyan's eyes, and he suddenly said: "Maybe it's not here."
"What's the meaning."
Tu Bo put his hands on his hips, and Youdu, who was wrapped around his waist, shook his head and said slightly unhappily: "Is there anything you can't say in one breath?
"You know Fan Siguo, but I don't. You always keep half-talking and waiting for me to answer."
Dong Xueyan turned his head and looked at the darkness in the distance, his eyes seeming to have been cast on the boundless turbid sea, "I want to say that the place it really points to is not anywhere in the weird forest, but under the sea."
Tu Bo looked Dong Xueyan up and down and did not ask him why he suddenly made such a judgment. He just said:
"How sure are you?"
Dong Xueyan couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "If it's one percent possible, will you give it a try?"
"Then don't waste time this time."
Tu Bo finished his words.
"Boom!"
Dong Xueyan immediately felt the familiar feeling of soaring into the air, the sound of hunting wind whistling past his ears, and the dark forest below was like a wide open mouth, which made him feel inexplicably cold.
He hugged the boulder tightly, with veins popping out from his fingers, and his lips moved: "At first, this boulder was placed in a cave on the seabed. It is a reminder in itself, but we have preconceptions, and because of the stars above our heads, , so I think there are still unknown secrets hidden in the weird forest.”
"So what's under the sea?"
Tu Bo asked casually.
"I feel that there is another space." Dong Xue said in an astonishing way.
"Why do you say that? What did you find?" Tu Bo glanced at the round stone and said thoughtfully: "Besides, I didn't find it before. Could it be that the key is missing?"
"It is possible, but we will know the truth soon." Dong Xueyan said.
"arrive."
The words have not yet finished.
Two figures suddenly fell from the sky and plunged straight into the turbid sea. The energy of countless inner demons around him suddenly came out like sharks and bees pupae smelling the smell of apes.
Tu Bo's mind moved slightly, and the powerful Yin Qi burst out from the inside out, forming an invisible protective shield in an instant.
On the other side, Dong Xueyan focused all his attention on the round stone in his hand, and noticed that the hazy white light did not dissipate when it entered the sea. It seemed that it was because he had absorbed a lot of energy just now.
But other than that, nothing has changed.
He was a little anxious.
I hope there will be new discoveries, but I am worried that I will fail in vain.
On the other hand, Tu Bo's mentality was very calm.
Dong Xueyan's candid treatment is a sign of trust in him, and he deserves the same.
At present, only by constantly trying can we find opportunities to break the situation!
It's too late, it's fast. Led by Tu Bo himself, the dive speed was very fast. In a short while, it had surpassed the original position of the underwater cave and continued towards the depths of the turbid sea.
One thousand meters...
This is the limit distance previously explored by Tubo.
There is no stopping.
Two thousand meters...
Still no valuable clues found.
However, the danger is rising in a straight line. The further down you go, the more intense the energy of the inner demons is. The barrier formed by the Yin energy alone is no longer enough.
Three thousand meters...
The depth of the turbid sea is unfathomable, and the inner demon energy in this location has already taken on a scarlet and strange color. Looking at it, it looks like a thick sea of clouds is rotating, almost filling the bottom.
"You're right about one thing."
Tu Bo grabbed Dong Xueyan's feather coat at the back of his neck and stopped his body.
Several ghosts were spinning around the body, and the awe-inspiring power turned into a protective shell to cover the two. "With such a huge number, I'm afraid the inner demons of all living creatures really gather here."
"Boom!"
At this moment, a silent and shocking loud noise suddenly burst out from the bottom of his heart.
Unconsciously, Tu Bo's expression became very solemn.
The crimson cloud sea of inner demons seemed to have streaks of thunder flashing, and it seemed that various illusions could be seen vaguely coming one after another. There were people, beasts, and strange-looking monsters. They were fighting to the death, or roaring something loudly, like Things from the past reappeared before my eyes at this moment.
Tu Bo raised his eyebrows and his eyes glowed with divine light, looking straight down.
Unexpectedly, the always invincible divine eye failed to see through the sea of inner demon clouds. Instead, the filthy and filthy aura eroded along the connection in the dark, which made Tu Bo couldn't help but frown.
"It's a bit tricky!"
With his current sealed strength, being able to protect himself in the turbid sea three thousand meters deep depends entirely on Youdu. The scene in front of him does not look like a natural formation. It is impossible to show any real skills!
"Moved!"
Suddenly, Dong Xueyan's excited words sounded. (End of chapter)
