Chapter 273: The Wooden Sculpture of Death on the Road to the Void
This thing reminded him of the abyss mutants he saw in Ten Thousand Domains Academy. The origins of the two were the same, but they were not the same thing.
How could such a thing appear here? Doubts flashed in Xiao Ye's mind.
Xiao Ye pondered in place for a long time, and finally returned to his own body after taking a deep look at the abyss body below.
"Is there any way to bypass this battlefield?" Xiao Ye asked immediately after returning to his body.
"No." Xiao Cui shook her head. In this sea area, there is only one way to reach the Bauhinia Family. There is indeed no other way to reach it.
"Actually, there is a way through this sea area and into the territory where the Bauhinia family is located." The silent old man on the side suddenly said.
"Where?" Xiao Ye asked.
The old man pointed forward.
Xiao Ye took a quick look and saw nothing but a few white clouds.
"In the void, but... this is a secret that is accompanied by bad luck. Those who know it will be entangled with bad luck for life." The old man didn't know whether he should tell them this.
"Old man, it doesn't matter." Xiao Ye signaled to him and said solemnly: "I must go to the Bauhinia family immediately, otherwise something big will happen."
The moment he saw the abyssal body, the system, which had been silent for a long time, issued a mission again.
It is another extremely strange task. I don’t know when the system will release tasks at will, but every task released has a lot to do with him.
Seeing the mission prompt, Xiao Ye couldn't help but frowned. Isn't the reshaping of the world as simple as it seems on the surface?
Xiao Ye thought carefully about it. At first, he encountered the abyss mutants before chasing into the small world where Ten Thousand Realms Academy was located. Finally, he accidentally entered the world of the Goddess of Destiny and witnessed their process of reshaping the world of Ten Thousand Realms. .
On the surface, there seems to be no problem with all this. In fact, Xiao Ye doesn't think there is any problem. But back to the original starting point, Xiao Ye's purpose is to track down the abyss mutants, but when he arrives at Ten Thousand Domains College, what does he do? I couldn't find it either, so something was obviously wrong.
There is no problem, that is the biggest problem!
If all this is a conspiracy, then who is the person behind it? This is really too big.
The system guided him again and again, was it to let him discover something?
Things in Wanyu World seemed to be over, but there were still many doubts left in Xiao Ye's mind. Those weird memories and people, now that he recalled them, were really weird.
"When I was young, I used to be an adventurer. I liked to take risks in dangerous places in various domains..." While Xiao Ye was deep in thought, the old man suddenly told a story.
According to legend, there is a road hidden in the void that leads to all realms. This road is everywhere. As long as you call it piously, it will appear from the void and step on this road hidden in the void. After walking through it, the other end of the void is the destination you want to reach.
When the old man was young, he once found a way to call this road to the void in a dangerous place. Out of curiosity, he called out this road, and then as his pious calling ended, something appeared in the void. A road leading to nowhere.
At that time, he was still young and very courageous. He didn't think much about it. Looking at the road, he imagined a place full of treasures and walked up it.
After entering this road to the void, he seemed to have lost consciousness. He was drowsy and walking on the road like a zombie. He didn't know how long he had walked. He suddenly woke up and came back to his senses. At first glance, there was actually a cave full of treasures in front of me.
But something in the dark told him that he could only take away one thing in it, and he couldn't take away more, and he would be entangled in bad luck for the rest of his life.
Not believing in evil, he kept filling the space ring with treasures, not paying attention to the mysterious sound. After he filled all the space rings, a force suddenly pulled him out of that place, and then it came back. He fell into a drowsy state, and when he woke up again, he found that he was back to the original place.
There was only a strange statue left in the space ring. However, it was exactly as the voice said. In the following time, he had constant bad luck. He could not go as smoothly as he wanted in anything. Many times he even almost lost his life. His life was lost.
"Old man, do you still keep that wood carving by your side? Can you show it to me?" Xiao Ye suddenly became interested in the wood carving he mentioned.
"Of course it is, wait a minute, I'll look for it and see where it is." The old man fumbled for a while and took out a strange black wooden sculpture from the space ring.
The wood carving was not too big, only about the size of two or three fists. It was completely black and carved with some kind of weird animal. Xiao Ye searched through his memory and couldn't find what this animal was.
"You can take a look if you want. There is nothing strange about this wooden sculpture. It is invulnerable to water and fire, and is extremely strong. It cannot be damaged no matter what." The old man's voice was a little low, as if he was suppressing something, and he handed the wooden sculpture over.
Xiao Ye stared at the wooden sculpture for a moment, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he knotted the wooden sculpture calmly.
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Ye returned the wooden sculpture to the old man: "Can you tell me how to summon the Void Road?"
The old man motioned for Xiao Ye to come closer and whispered the method to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye recited it silently twice, and after making sure he remembered it, he thanked the old man.
"I won't accompany you on the next journey. I don't want to go to that place a second time." The old man said to Xiao Ye.
"What about your granddaughter?" Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Cui beside him.
"She's still young, so it's better not to go to that kind of place." The old man touched Xiao Cui's hair, his eyes full of doting.
"Okay, let's say goodbye this time." Xiao Ye nodded.
The old man nodded, said goodbye to Xiao Ye, took out a small boat from the space ring, and took Xiaocui away to a certain place. This direction happened to be opposite to the Bauhinia family.
Xiao Ye looked at his palm, and there seemed to be a mass of black energy invisible to the naked eye above it.
"Let's go, find a place to experience this so-called Void Road." Xiao Ye patted the Snow Soul Squirrel's head and motioned it to find a quiet place.
The Snow Soul Squirrel controlled the raft and shot towards the void in the distance, directly away from this sea area.
"People's hearts are unpredictable. You have to be more careful about other people in the future." Xiao Ye looked into the distance and said involuntarily.
"Brother Xiao Ye, what happened just now? Why do I feel that you have murderous intentions towards them?" Liuli asked curiously, holding the sword.
The people she was talking about were naturally the old man and Xiaocui's grandson and granddaughter.
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me." Xiao Ye did not answer his question.
"But I don't feel like they want to take action against us?" Liuli was a little confused.
"Some people want to harm you, but they may not necessarily kill you. They know people but don't know their hearts. If I'm not around you in the future, you have to be careful." Xiao Ye touched her head.
Liuli, who has lost her memory, is like a simple child. She is not stupid, but she just doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister. In this world, even the closest people can betray her, let alone other people she doesn't know.
The Snow Soul Squirrel controlled the raft and flew for who knows how long before finally stopping over an uninhabited sea area.
"Just right here." Xiao Ye glanced around and found no other creatures, so he nodded.
He sat up cross-legged and muttered a profound and difficult sentence in his mouth. Xiao Ye had never seen this kind of language before, and it was extremely difficult to memorize it. He had to memorize it twice before memorizing it.
According to the old man's words, if you want to open the Road to the Void, you must recite this passage silently three times. However, after Xiao Ye saw the wooden carving, he knew that the key to opening the Road to the Void was not this language, but the wood carving.
Although the wood carving is not here, if there are no accidents, it will appear soon.
A strange fluctuation appeared in the void, Xiao Ye stood up, and a seemingly ordinary path suddenly emerged from the void and appeared in front of the raft.
"Let's go." Xiao Ye took the lead on the trail, then put away the raft, with Liuli and Snow Soul Squirrel following closely behind him.
After they all stepped onto the path, the void behind them suddenly closed, and a dark wooden sculpture suddenly appeared in front of the path.
"If you want to travel, you must first make a contract."
A mysterious voice suddenly appeared in Xiao Ye's ears.
Xiao Ye looked at the wood carving that appeared in front of him, and the information about the wood carving appeared in front of him.
This thing is exactly the same wood carving as the one in the old man's hand.
