"Zhen Zhen."
At this moment, Zhen Zhen and his group walked out of Jiuxiao Yunmeng one after another. Zheng Xiyao greeted Ye Zhenzhen happily when she saw her.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at Bingxiao, the wife of the Tushan Sect Master, and burst into tears. Holding Zheng Xiyao and refusing to let go. Zheng Xiyao was at a loss and asked what happened. Ye Zhenzhen just shook his head and cried bitterly on her chest, just like when he was punished by Li Yuan when he was a child and told her his grievances. Zheng Xiyao stroked Ye Zhenzhen's head and whispered comfort, and Ye Zhenzhen gradually regained her composure.
At this time, Zheng Xiyao looked at Liu Jingting and Mo Jiang, and found that they had different expressions, as if they had also experienced great changes, especially Mo Jiang, who looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a strange expression, as if he was affectionate and full of regret.
It seems that there was a story between them.
Li Yuan saw several people coming out of Jiuxiaoyunmeng, "Let's go."
Zheng Xiyao and others were silent.
Li Yuan:?
"They can't pass the ladder to heaven." Wenchang Xingjun, who was resting on the bridge pier, gloated.
"What did you say?" Li Yuan looked at Wenchang Xingjun coldly.
"They can't see through it themselves, so don't blame me." Xingjun spread his hands and looked like it was none of my business.
Li Yuan looked at a few people after hearing this. Zheng Xiyao looked evasive, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were dull, and Liu Mo and Liu Mo had their own concerns. It seems that these people not only failed to resolve their knots, but instead added a lot of troubles.
Zheng Xiyao saw Li Yuan's expression getting colder and colder, and already knew that he had no patience at the moment. In order to avoid a bloody incident, Zheng Xiyao took the initiative to approach Li Yuan, and with Li Yuan's confused expression, she leaned into his ear and said something.
"If you two want to show off your affection, you should go home and show it off." Wenchang Xingjun said sourly, but Li Yuan's cold gaze stopped him from speaking any more.
When Zheng Xiyao heard this, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
She had always felt that this Mr. Xing was a bit inconsistent, but his speech just now confirmed her thoughts.
"Xingjun must have other ways for us to go to the next level, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Wenchang Xingjun thought Zheng Xiyao was joking, but the woman was smiling, but the seriousness in her eyes told him that she was serious. "If you can't untie the knot yourself, what does it have to do with me if you can't climb the ladder? "
"Ladder to heaven?" Zheng Xiyao smiled, "Didn't Lord Xing say that this is not the real ladder to heaven? Naturally, you can pass it without using the methods of the divine world."
Lord Wenchang Xing was speechless upon hearing this.
"Besides, the gods in the divine world have long since fallen. You," Zheng Xiyao looked at him with interest, "you are no longer a god."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wenchang Xingjun shouted, angrily and struck Zheng Xiyao with a palm. Everyone was shocked, but Zheng Xiyao himself was calm and composed. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with her.
It turned out that Wenchang Xingjun's hand passed directly through Zheng Xiyao's body.
"I..." Wen Changxingjun looked at his hands in disbelief, and then at his body.
"Yes, you are just a ray of soul now, Wenchang Xingjun." Zheng Xiyao sighed.
Only then did everyone see that the original light on Wenchang Xingjun disappeared, leaving only a thin white mist.
"No, I'm not, no," Wenchang Xingjun shouted frantically and suddenly rushed towards Zheng Xiyao, but was waved away by Li Yuan. Wenchang Xingjun's soul was slapped aside, and he was still muttering to himself, "It turns out he's gone a long time ago, it turns out he's gone a long time ago."
As Wenchang Xingjun's obsession dissipated, the ladder to heaven also began to disappear. Everyone thought that they might not be able to reach the third level. However, with a flash of white light, everyone was led into the black hole by a strong suction force.
Everything around is shrouded in thick water vapor, and the pale white mist floats like a ghost, layer upon layer, filled with endless mystery and danger. The mist seems to be absolute silence, and it also seems to be whispering, whispering in the ears.
Walking there, every step is accompanied by the sound of wet footsteps, hollow and distant, echoing in the air, making people feel a little heart palpitated. The ground beneath my feet seemed uncertain, as if every step I took could lead to void.
In the fog, everything seemed blurry and distant. Those hazy shadows seem to be memories of the past, but also seem to be omens of the future. An unspeakable feeling of fear arises from the bottom of my heart, making people feel a little lost.
"Go forward, don't stop." Wenchang Xingjun's voice was ethereal. "Follow the voice in your heart, keep moving forward, and you will find the path you want to find."
Li Yuan took Zheng Xiyao's hand and walked forward without hesitation. Everyone who was originally confused saw that Li Yuan and Zheng Xiyao had already moved forward, and they all followed.
After a while, there was a blue light flashing in front of the fog. After a while, everyone followed the blue light and saw a city gate standing in front of them.
On the city gate it says: Eastern Base Research Institute.
Yes, they entered an underground city, or an underground city that was not of this world. The exterior environment here is bleak, surrounded by dilapidated buildings. Its exterior was severely corroded and it had obviously experienced a long period of wind and rain. The huge iron gate has been destroyed.
When Zheng Xiyao saw the "Eastern Base Research Institute", something flashed through her mind.
[System, can you explain to me what this is? 】
system【……】
【system? 】
Zheng Xiyao did not receive a response from the system.
They opened the city gate and entered the inner city smoothly.
The underground city was very dark, with only a faint blue light allowing them to barely see the path under their feet.
Entering the inner city, you'll see a large, dark room. Zheng Xiyao covered her mouth and looked around in horror.
This place is clearly a laboratory, full of traces of past experiments. Test tubes and experimental equipment were scattered on the table, and some equipment had been damaged or shut down. There are many scorch marks on the walls of the laboratory, suggesting that there may have been fierce battles here.
All around lay dead people wearing protective suits, masks and gloves. Their faces were covered by protective gear, leaving only their eyes exposed. These people should be scientific researchers.
Zheng Xiyao looked at everything strange in front of her, and felt great fear in her heart.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Li Yuan put his arm around her trembling shoulders and said softly. Zheng Xiyao leaned into Li Yuan's arms, slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, he said to Li Yuan, "Let's get out of here quickly. I don't like it."
"Um."
Li Yuan was not at all curious about everything here and took her deeper.
They passed by a long corridor with ten-meter-high glass containers on both sides of the corridor, with something soaked in them.
"What is this?" Ye Zhenzhen looked closer curiously, "Ah ah ah ah."
"What's wrong?" Mo Jiang quickly pulled Ye Zhenzhen and stood in front of her.
"The things in here" Ye Zhenzhen grabbed Mo Jiang's sleeves, her hands shaking. "They are all monsters, so scary."
"What?"
Everyone was puzzled. At this time, Mo Jiang used the Tianyan Sect's "Purple Flame Streaming Light" to illuminate the entire corridor.
"Oh my God." Nan Yan covered her mouth and took a step back, leaning against Liu Jingting behind her. Liu Jingting supported her and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, these are dead things."
"Yes, they are all dead."
Zheng Xiyao replied calmly.
Things that have been soaked in formalin for many years will be completely dead.
But the thing here is really weird. It looks like a combination of some kind of creatures.
What exactly is this place and how could it appear in Dongxuan Continent?
What are they studying here?
Why are everyone here dead?
