Chapter 82
"What's going on?!"
After realizing this, everyone's faces turned very ugly.
What on earth is this place?!
Suddenly, they realized that it was not because of some kind of abnormality in their bodies, but because...
The surroundings were so quiet that it was terrifying.
That kind of silence comes from absolute silence, the kind that swallows up all sounds.
Gu Qing tried to speak, but no sound came out.
His expression instantly became uglier.
"Da, da."
The sound of footsteps approaching from afar came from the surging blood-red fog.
In an instant, or perhaps even shorter than that instant, the blood mist was infected by the terrifying force and turned into a thick, liquid-like suspended black color.
"Hello, my old friends."
An indistinguishable gender voice came from the ethereal void, with a smile, but not warmth. Instead, it was tinged with a terrifying, horrible pressure that spread from the depths of the soul.
A figure wrapped in black mist appeared from the end of the fusion of blood mist and black mist, and not far behind it were two staggering ordinary members wearing Keobe costumes, and a woman in a long dress with a black veil covering her face.
The woman's eyes were covered by the translucent black veil hanging from her hair accessory, but she moved freely, as if closing her eyes had no effect on her.
"... Ceobe..."
The four young men gritted their teeth. The eyes of the four Keobas were already focused on them. The most useful Word Spirit that Zheng Qiuji was proud of was almost just a thin layer of translucent phantom, unable to block anything in front of them.
"Ceobe's boss."
Gu Qingming's voice was carried to the ears of every companion through the wind.
The en factor surrounding them like a black mist, strange voices whose gender could not be distinguished... and under the black mist, a body wrapped in white bandages.
The boss of the notorious organization Ceoberos, and the most formidable enemy who has recruited countless wandering psychics to serve him through the Moment of Wishing.
Its characteristics are firmly engraved in the mind of every CPA because it is the most threatening enemy to CPA in recent years.
This guy's goal is directly aimed at Jiuyou, the secret realm of the underworld that is the place of reincarnation in the East. No one dares to slack off on any arrangements anywhere. After all, Jiuyou's loss of control is almost equivalent to the collapse of heaven and earth.
No one would think that the notorious wandering mutant would have any positive purpose.
What's more... the form displayed by Ceob's boss doesn't even look like a human.
Looking at the silent yet sharp and vigilant eyes of the boys, the monster who was not sure whether it was a human or a ghost opened his arms and spoke first.
"Four hundred years have passed... Although we are not old friends in the full sense, I have inherited the power of those two old friends... Although it is just a familiar aura, even so, it is enough to make me deeply moved."
It walked step by step towards the direction of the teenagers, its voice filled with strong nostalgia, but no one would think that such a monster that wanted to destroy everything at any cost would really miss something.
Ceope's boss' words were full of nostalgia for the past, and the clue of "four hundred years" pointed out by it made Gu Qingming and others realize that the other party might be related to the catastrophe in the underworld four hundred years ago, just as Boss Cao and others had guessed.
The old friend he was talking about was the Cretaceous Immortal Monarch, and...
Gu Qingming raised his eyes slightly, and Chu Zhongyuan's silent face appeared in his sight. Ceope's boss appeared in person, and the situation was too critical. Even Chu Zhongyuan's smile could not be maintained and turned serious.
Gu Qingming thought of the guy who had talked to the Cretaceous Immortal King in his vague memory just now in the sea of red spider lilies.
Bai Ke Lan and Jiu You Mirror, two superpowers with distinct characteristics, chose him and Chu Zhongyuan, so the haze related to the catastrophe four hundred years ago rushed towards them along with the wind and the fluorescent water tide.
The many doubts along the way finally came to light.
Why do they always encounter members of Ceobe so easily? Perhaps this boss behind the scenes was responsible for many of the previous missions.
It is looking for an old friend from four hundred years ago, and its purpose is unknown.
After such a long period of testing, it finally confirmed that these two high school students were the successors chosen by the old friend with supernatural powers.
The only thing that is certain is that this guy who looks like a demon is definitely not a good friend of the Cretaceous Immortal King.
Everyone's back was tense, and the en factor was flashing at their fingertips, waiting for an opportunity.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm not going to do anything to you now."
The black figure shook his head and sighed.
"After all... it's not time yet."
The surging black mist suddenly rushed towards Gu Qingming. Gu Qingming's eyes lit up green and he slid away. The black mist then turned into a black-feathered raven, trying to keep it, but was tightly entangled by the dark blue chain that Chu Zhongyuan threw out with his eyes lowered.
The chain was regular and neat, and was covered with ancient runes. Gu Qingming looked closely and found that it was exactly the same intricate pattern on the lock that Siweilina had given to Chu Zhongyuan before.
It's just that the locks are stacked on top of each other to form a long chain similar to a whip.
The water tide in space gently brushed over the raven, but the next second, the raven was melted into ashes by the chains and the power of the water tide, falling to the surface covered with black grass leaves.
Even the Lycoris radiata, which was affected by the mysterious factor, soon withered and decayed.
"It has a corrosive effect..."
Chu Zhongyuan ran to Gu Qingming in two steps and looked at the boss Ceob vigilantly.
"It's a bit like the mysterious ghost world in the underworld..."
Gu Qingming shared his guess with his companions in a low voice.
Black fog, corrosive ability, these characteristics are all related to the ghost mysteries in the CPA online course.
"Isn't this the time to reason?!"
Faced with such a terrifying feeling of oppression, Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan could even whisper to each other to deduce the true identity of the boss Ceob. Zheng Qiuji looked like he was about to transform into a world-famous painting and scream.
"Occupational disease, occupational disease."
The next second after Chu Zhongyuan finished his sneer, Ceob's boss snapped his fingers.
Countless ravens followed the boss' figure, tearing through the blood mist, swooping from the red world into the black, and rushing towards the four young men.
[“The Master said: Do not impose on others what you do not want others to impose on you.”]
Zheng Qiuji quickly activated his spiritual power, Gu Qingming condensed the wind in front of him to form a shield, and Chu Zhongyuan solidified the space where the wind shield was, making this layer of defense even more solid.
The sound of raven wings fluttering in the air was overwhelming, and the breath of death was almost imminent.
The first ones to be devoured by the crows were not the four young CPAs, but the two Ceobs standing silently behind the boss.
The hem of the woman in the black dress melted into the flock of ravens and almost disappeared.
"Wait, Boss! We—"
“Boss——!”
The two Ceobs fell into terrible panic when they realized that their boss did not do anything to protect them. They had been following their boss because of the Moment of Wish, and suddenly realized that perhaps in the eyes of that monster-like man, they, the subordinates, were no different from those who were wantonly killed by Ceob.
The two Ceopes screamed hoarsely in the pain of being eroded, but their boss just watched quietly and even showed a hideous and hearty smile.
That thing is truly happy about the passing of life.
The overwhelming malice made it almost suffocating. The Word Spirits, wind, and water tides held off the first wave of rushing ravens, but Gu Qingming and the others soon realized that irreparable cracks began to appear on the wind shield, and the speed at which the three could fill them was far less than the speed at which the wind shield was breaking.
Just before the wind shield completely shattered, a frosty cold light flashed, and the entire blood mist space began to quarrel.
"Sure enough, I can't help it."
The ferocious face under the black fog raised the corners of its lips. It did not want to wipe out these insignificant young psychics at this moment. In the process of opening the final secret realm of the underworld, Jiuyou, their existence would more or less be of some use.
Bai Kelan had once done a favor to the owner of the Nine Nether Mirror Sutra and the owner of this secret realm. Although the secret realm had collapsed into its current chaotic state, attacking them could still cause the owner of the secret realm to move, thus...
"You've given away your own position, idiot."
The figure in the black mist laughed crazily. Although the movement that was prevented only lasted for a moment, it still allowed it to see the master hidden deep in the secret realm.
This is also the most fundamental purpose for it to come here from afar to play the "hide and seek" game with the two monarch-level psychics and three A-level psychics sent by CPA.
Buried in the deepest part of the secret realm transformed from the Holy Tomb of the Snowy Region and guarded by the Wolf Lord of Ice and Snow, is the Snow Bell, which is powerful enough to serve as a water talisman.
That is the last mysterious shadow of the ancient civilization left in the snowy land.
The figure surrounded by black mist walked backwards with a smile, stepping over the two subordinates that had been corroded into bones. The blood-red mist was pulled by the black mist to overlap behind him. The woman in the black dress followed it quietly. After the two left, the blood-red mist around them returned to normal in the vibration, as if nothing had ever happened.
A cold light flashed, and as a terrible vibration emerged, the four people instantly lost the ability to control their limbs. They watched helplessly as the space shattered into crystal fragments, and the sea of red spider lilies completely disappeared in the haze. By the time their consciousness gathered and their bodies touched reality, everything around them had completely changed.
The crystal clear translucent crystals follow the lines of the rock wall and continue to grow into the mountain.
Crystals, crystals, overwhelming crystals sparkling with a white glow that is so bright that it is difficult for the naked eye to see directly, and it almost competes with the sun for attention.
The whistling wind and snow blew across the white ground underfoot, leaving blurry traces.
But they didn't feel any chill.
The vast secret realm that is listed as one of the highest-level secret realms in Luosha by Luosha City, where the water town is stored - Snowy Holy Tomb XI.
According to legend, travelers who enter the snowy area will be tested in dreams by the silent wolf lord in the snow.
Gu Qingming was a little stunned when he thought of the bits of knowledge related to the Snow Region that Cao Sheng had mentioned.
Could it be that the obviously abnormal sea of Lycoris flowers and the real and terrifying pressure just now were just a dream?
