The age of great voyages

Chapter 220 Strange Land - Between Life and Death

But he wasn't sure if she was really trapped. Some strange places in the wizarding world were too dangerous, and even her master wouldn't dare to go in some places, so he had to investigate no matter what.

First, he went to the library of the Star-Moon Tower, where he found a few books about strange places. After flipping through them carefully, he found the world where his little cousin was trapped - between life and death.

The author of the book introduces that this is a world with unpredictable dangers. It only appears once every few decades, and each time it appears in a random corner of the wizarding world. It is recorded that countless people entered it for hundreds of thousands of years, and most of them never came back. Only a small number of lucky people can come back, and those who come back are also silent, and they can't tell what they have experienced.

It's not that they don't say it, but they can't say it. People who come back from life and death, whether they are ordinary wizards or high-ranking great wizards, can't say even a word related to life and death. It seems that there is an invisible force preventing them from saying. What the hell is between birth and death.

For hundreds of thousands of years, no one has known what is between life and death, but there are always some smart people guessing from the few clues that there may be an extremely powerful existence between life and death.

This time, the gap between life and death appeared on the west coast of the West Coast, close to the Hengduan Mountains that isolates the West Coast from the Central Continent, or in between, not very far from Lin Chen's main mission destination, the Bone Caves, waiting to rescue his little cousin. Come out, maybe you can complete this main quest by the way.

After waiting in the tower for a day, I took a ride with a spaceship heading for the Hengduan Mountains.

This is a mission team composed of a formal wizard and a group of wizard apprentices. The destination is also the Hengduan Mountains, but it is not between life and death.

Normal people would not die in those dangerous places. Historically, very few people took the initiative to go to strange places. Basically, they entered by mistake or were involved.

The sky was blue, with white clouds floating in the sky. The spaceship was flying rapidly in the sky, pulling out a long white line behind the ship. Lin Chen was sitting on the edge of the ship, looking down in trance. On the left, a man and a woman seemed to be in love. Kissing me together, the man pointed at the white clouds in the sky and said affectionately:

"My love for you is as pure and flawless as white clouds."

The girl held her blushing face and stared at the man, listening to the man pointing downwards and continuing to speak tiresome love words:
"My love for you is like this Hengduan Mountain Range."

His face suddenly changed, and he pointed to the distance and shouted:

"You see what that is?"

Lin Chen raised his head and saw a thick black air suddenly rising from the mountains of the Hengduan Mountains in the distance. It spread in all directions like a tide. It soon spread to several kilometers in radius and was about to rush towards the spacecraft.

This sudden change startled everyone, and the speed of the spaceship suddenly slowed down and stopped. Seeing the black air rushing in, the spaceship began to turn around and prepare to escape.

But soon everyone found that there was no need to escape. The black air stopped expanding when it reached about a hundred meters away from the flying boat. It was only surging violently and expanding in thickness. You could vaguely see the figure of something looming in the rolling black clouds.

"What is this?"

Everyone on the spaceship huddled in the bow and looked at the overwhelming black clouds and pointed. Someone asked the official wizard who led the team:

"Syndicate wizard, you are well-informed, do you know what this is?"

The middle-aged wizard stared at it for a while, and then said in an uncertain tone:
"This seems to be an eruption of underground demon energy. It is said that there is a huge underground world under the Hengduan Mountains, and there is a huge underground demon kingdom inside. Every 1000 years or so, the underground demon kingdom will rush out of the ground to attack the countries on the west coast, but It has only been more than 600 years since the last eruption of magic energy, and it has only passed half of the time, so there is no reason to erupt now."

Compared to the doubts of the wizards of the Syndicate, Lin Chen had a slight guess. When checking the information about the strange place in the library of the Xingyue Tower, he also took a look at the information about the Hengduan Mountains. Human Kingdom, and the information recorded in the Star-Moon Tower knows more than Syndicate.

The so-called eruption of underground demon energy, the underground devil kingdom attacks the surface once a thousand years, just because the population of the underground devil kingdom is too large, and the large-scale war of attrition launched in order to pass on the contradictions and reduce the population, only once in a thousand years is because of the contradictions that happen to happen every 1000 years And character will reach the limit, and it is impossible to make the population and contradictions reach the limit in 600 years, that is to say, the underground demon kingdom will not attack the surface in less than a thousand years.

Moreover, the eruption of demonic energy in front of me does not look like the kingdom of the underground demons attacking the surface. The real massive attack of the underground demons is not just a channel, there are at least a dozen huge outlets, and there is only one at the moment, which is obviously not like It's what the Millennium War looks like, it can only be something else.

At this time, the magic energy also attracted a large number of nearby wizards. Many wizards gathered around the huge magic energy disk with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, but they all dared not approach it from afar.

After a while, a second-level wizard from a nearby wizard school rushed over. The wizard with a third eye on his forehead observed silently, and took out a bronze oil lamp that exuded divine light to protect himself. Went in.

After a while, the wizard came out again and announced loudly:
"Don't worry, everyone, this is because a tribe appeared in the underground between life and death, and they were forced to take refuge temporarily and leave after a year."

"Between life and death?"

All the wizards' attention was immediately attracted by this strange space, and they no longer paid attention to the magic disk.

The same was true for Lin Chen, who silently watched the huge magic disk, and suddenly flew out of the boat and fell down like a meteorite.

The two wizard apprentices nearby were startled when they saw this scene. They wanted to shout, but they didn't know what his name was when they came to their lips.

He fell directly from a height of thousands of meters, and when he was about [-] meters above the ground, he said 'Aiduo', and suddenly stopped at a sudden speed.

These two words are witchcraft spells of levitation, a supermagic technique called sentence punctuation. Normal witchcraft spells are much longer than this. Some unfamiliar witchcraft need to read a full sentence of spells to cast them. Later, some wizards figured out a way The incantation was shortened, and finally created the sentence-breaking method of incantation. Only by chanting the key two or three incantation sentences can the entire witchcraft be cast, and the speed is much faster than before.

Lin Chen doesn't have many witchcrafts, and levitation is one of the few witchcrafts.

Floating to the ground, in front of the gradually spreading magic energy ring, a huge black devil's face silhouette appeared on the billowing black energy, and said:
"Human wizard, you are not welcome here."

The appearance of the underground demons is very similar to that of devils and demons, they tend to be humanoid, and most of them are not big in size.

Lin Chen said:
"I want to ask your Excellency something."

The devil's face glanced at him, and slowly sank.

Lin Chen quickly reached out and pointed, a water mirror appeared, and the figure of his little cousin appeared on it, and asked the devil:

"I want to ask if she came underground some time ago?"

The devil paused, looked at the water mirror for a while, then looked at Lin Chen again, and said:

"She entered between life and death."

"Really?"

The devil said impatiently:
"I saw with my own eyes that she had a conflict with her companions and was besieged, and then suddenly appeared between life and death, and she fell into it with others."

Lin Chen's face was a bit ugly, he didn't expect that she really entered the gap between life and death, sighed and said:

"I want to use this way to go underground and have a look."

The demon was stunned for a moment, then said:
"You are seeking your own death."

A circle of ripples appeared in the void behind Lin Chen. Lin Roy's figure slowly appeared on his right, and then Feng Ji also walked out from behind him to the left. The two women did not hide their strength, especially Roy. The power fluctuation comparable to that of a great wizard made the demon face silent for a while, and then he said:
"Since you want to kill yourself, come in."

After saying that, his face slowly sank and quickly disappeared.

Lin Chen looked up at the sky and paused for a while, then strode into the tumbling devil energy together with Lin Luoyi and Feng Ji, and soon disappeared.

From the outside, it looks like the devilish energy is extremely dark, but when you enter it, you find that it is just a superficial appearance. The inside is actually the same as usual, except that the sky is a bit darker like a cloudy sky, and the fog is thicker and you can’t see clearly from a place farther away. There are many demons and underground races living in it.

The spider-man with upper body and half spider body, and the skeleton man with one horn on his head are the same as those seen in the underground space of the coral island before, but they are stronger, such as the muscular minotaur, the huge human-faced spider, etc. All the strange underground races fled to the surface.

The underground passage is located in the center of this area covered by demonic energy with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. The raging demonic energy rushes out of a huge hollow cavern, and the powerful energy fills the passageway like thick transparent glue. Solidified in the channel can not be up and down.

Lin Chen is not an ordinary person, and he doesn't need to do anything special. With a thought, his talent for witchcraft unfolds, and his whole body instantly turns into a body of steel and iron, and he falls directly.

The cave was very deep, as if diving, it sank hundreds of meters and turned into a slope. About 2000 meters forward along the slope, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge underground space appeared in front of him.

This is a hollow underground space, with densely packed upside-down stalagmites of different lengths overhead, a rugged underground road, and underground ferns growing on the ground. Many glowing worms like glowworms are floating in the dark, and many gather together to form a A small sun illuminates the dark underground, which is magical and magnificent.

There are no underground creatures in this underground space anymore, and all of them fled to other underground worlds or the surface in the distance with the sudden appearance of the life and death space, or were directly sucked into the life and death space without enough time to escape. Now this huge underground world is extremely quiet, Only some little bugs without intelligence are still living.

Lin Chen didn't have time to appreciate the fantastic beauty of the underground space. As soon as he entered the underground space, he was attracted by the black hole-like vortex in the center of the huge cave. It's time.

Standing hundreds of meters away from the huge whirlpool, you can see a large amount of gravel and underground plants being sucked into the black hole by the attraction and disappearing. The ground around the whirlpool is extremely clean, there is not even a piece of gravel, and everything that can move is trapped. Inhaling it, the roots of even the grass growing in the stones that were slightly closer were torn off and sucked away.

The attraction between life and death here is already very strong, but he can't do anything for a while, Lin Chen stands there looking at the vortex like a black hole in a daze, he doesn't know what he is thinking for a while.

He is now hesitating whether to go in. If he goes in, there is a [-]% chance that he will not be able to come out. This visit will naturally be regarded as a failure, but if he does not go in.
In fact, what he is really hesitating now is not whether to enter or not, but whether the little cousin is really involved in it. If he is not in it, jumping in by himself is really like the devil said to kill himself, it is too bad.

He doesn't dare to believe the devil's words, but he doesn't know the witchcraft of going back in time. It's a method only for wizards above the third level. Some powerful second-level wizards can do it with the help of the wizard tower, but he can do both No, although Luo Yi and Feng Ji are strong enough, they don't know this witchcraft or similar spells, and all the subordinates in the entire territory.
Well, he found that he always subconsciously ignored the power of Naraku, the god of fear. He is a true god, and this ability seems to come naturally without learning.

With a thought, a vortex opened in front of him, and a jade finger thicker than a human protruded from it, pointing in the void, a circle of ripples spread, and quickly expanded into a water mirror, on which appeared the picture of the current space, Time is rewinding rapidly.

He was the first to appear, and quickly backed away from the ground, and then a large group of underground creatures retreated from the surface along the passage, and the huge black hole vortex reversed, spit out a large number of devoured creatures, until...he saw several A powerful figure also spewed out from the black hole vortex. He was sure that the familiar figure was Lin Yueru, and he only recognized one of the figures besieging her, but it was the sage of the Five Rings High Tower, Master Gaota, who was his teacher. It's a second-order wizard, the one who descended from the Heaven's Sending Society.

Although he had never met him before, Lin Chen had heard his introduction from his cousin, who came from the same school as the little cousin, but not the same master.

As for the other three figures, two men and one woman, he had never seen them before, so he didn't know who they were.

In the time regression, the five people fighting and retreating quickly disappeared, while the huge black hole vortex was constantly spitting out and devouring all kinds of alien races, and at a certain moment, it suddenly reversed and contracted, and finally disappeared in a single point.

Back to the end of time, Lin Chen also figured out the whereabouts of the little cousin, and she was indeed caught between life and death.

Lin Chen no longer had to hesitate or have a choice. No matter what was inside, whether she was still alive or not, he had to go in and take a look.

I don't know if there is no way, but now that I know that I will find her even if this visit fails, I have to give my sister-in-law and uncle an explanation.

Opening the Rubik's Cube space to re-enter Feng Ji and Lin Luoyi, he took a deep breath, activated his innate witchcraft, turned into a body of iron and iron again, and walked into it with heavy steps.
