"You're really joking. So many people can't find any trace, so how can I find it?"
Gu Xinglian smiled and said, "It's just that I feel there are too many competitors and it's futile to continue, so I just gave up."
"So, don't worry about the two of us, just continue."
"I see."
Lin Zixiao nodded slightly: "That makes sense. In that case, you can leave on your own."
The others also slowly withdrew their gazes.
“The mountains are high and the waters are long.”
Gu Xinglian whispered, and then increased her speed.
Xu Weiyi was a little confused.
What's going on with Gu Xinglian?
Why did you leave so suddenly? Don't you want the Heart of the World anymore?
Moreover, he didn’t even tell me?
This, this, this···
What went wrong?
She hasn't figured it out yet.
He immediately asked through telepathic communication.
But before Gu Xinglian could respond, she heard Lin Zixiao say, "No!"
"If you really give up, you should go back the way you came!"
"This place is dangerous, and we didn't come very far. It's safer to return the same way. This is the choice of a normal person."
"Instead of rushing in an inexplicable direction like you did."
Having said this, Lin Zixiao paused slightly.
"unless···"
Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, and she glanced at the others like a thief. Then she stopped talking and followed Gu Xinglian with Ji Chutong.
Everyone looked.
They looked at each other in surprise.
"Unless what?"
No one answered.
but···
Who here is not a meticulous person?
In order to grab the heart of the world, everyone is almost going crazy.
At this moment, everyone was like Zhuge Liang, and they figured out the key point of the matter in just a moment.
quit?
Yes, it is possible that some people will indeed drop out.
For example, when there are too many people and one knows that one’s own strength is insufficient and that one will almost certainly die if one continues, it is normal and understandable for one to quit.
But···
Just as Lin Zixiao said just now.
If you really want to quit, shouldn't you return the same way you came in such a dangerous place?
There is a 99% chance that returning by the original route is safe.
But if you choose to go in a direction that no one has explored and you don't know whether it is safe or not, there is at least a 50% chance that you will encounter danger and the possibility of losing your life is not low.
Even a fool knows what to choose.
But you still went in that direction.
What does this mean?
illustrate···
You don't want to quit at all.
But it is highly likely that there are means that no one else knows about, and the escape route of the "rat" has been determined.
Hurrah!
You actually want to leave all of us behind and eat all by yourself?!
As soon as they thought of this, everyone became numb and prepared to give chase.
Xu Weiyi also thought of this. Although he didn't know why he didn't tell him, why should he hesitate if he chased after him?
As for the rest...
Seeing that people were chasing after him one after another, how could he sit still?
"Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that I also have something else to do, so I'll give up for now. You guys continue."
"Yes, that thief is abominable, but I believe you can find and kill him. I'd better try to find other treasures."
"I give up, I give up, I give up too, I hope we can meet again someday."
"See you again~!"
Everyone said they had given up, but they all slipped away and followed the direction Gu Xinglian left.
“?!”
Gu Xinglian looked back, frowned, and accelerated instantly.
It was as if he had gone crazy. He didn't care whether there was any danger in the Flaming Mountain. He had only one thought - to speed up and leave the others behind!
When the others saw this, they instantly confirmed what they were thinking.
Hurrah!
If one didn't know that someone had walked this direction and this road before, who would dare to rush forward in such a dangerous place?
I'm afraid even a twelve-tribulation immortal might not have the courage to do this.
As expected, we guessed it right!
They chased more vigorously.
Xu Weiyi also knew the seriousness of the problem, so how could he let them chase him like this?
She also sped up and chased to the front area. After thinking for a while, she realized that there was something wrong with Lin Zixiao and the other person.
Twice in a row, it was Lin Zixiao who was giving advice and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in fact he was reminding everyone...
"This woman must not be allowed to stay!"
She immediately jumped up and attacked Lin Zixiao and Ji Chutong.
When the others saw this, they no longer had any doubts.
Everyone knows that Xu Weiyi and Gu Xinglian are in the same group.
At this moment, Xu Weiyi took action against Lin Zixiao and the other two. Didn't this completely confirm everyone's guess?
That's it, what else is there to doubt?
······
Boom!
Xu Weiyi is very strong.
As an eleven-tribulations wandering immortal that the Wanhua Holy Land had spent nearly 1.2 million years preparing to cultivate, she was more than just an ordinary eleven-tribulations wandering immortal!
He has mastered all kinds of secret techniques and methods.
Amazing combat power!
With the outbreak at this moment, even many powerful beings who are also eleven-tribulation loose immortals have to temporarily avoid the attack.
Of course, they had never thought of taking action.
Why did Xu Weiyi take action at this moment?
It is to delay the speed of others and give her companions enough time!
If I fight her at this time, wouldn't that be exactly what she wants?
Anyway, he wasn't dealing with me, so why should I care about her? Naturally, I just went around her and continued to chase her companion.
They are extremely 'awake'.
They all took detours.
Ji Chutong frowned: "You!!!"
While resisting, Lin Zixiao sent a message to Ji Chutong: "It's okay, this is the best way."
"This way, no one will suspect anything, and she should be unaware of the situation and mistakenly think we are the enemy. This will make our plan even more perfect."
"That's true, but if we do that, we'll have to fight her. She's an eleventh-tribulation immortal. If something unexpected happens..."
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Lin Zixiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and all his strength burst out at this moment.
She never fought desperately, nor did she use any tricky secret techniques.
He only relied on his own upright sword skills to engage in a fierce battle with Xu Weiyi.
The two sides fought back and forth, having a lot of fun.
But they controlled it very well and did not let the battle become too violent. At the same time, they were fighting while chasing in the direction of Gu Xinglian's escape.
During this process, neither side was injured.
This surprised Xu Weiyi very much.
Her family knows her own business, and she is naturally very clear about her own strength.
But the woman in front of him was not a wandering immortal, but only at the ninth level. How could she be so comfortable with his attack?
This woman is indeed not simple!
She couldn't help but become much more cautious.
······
At the same time, Lin Fan was always on the sidelines.
Not that he wanted to be so close to everyone.
But there was no way. Although the previous movements were repeatedly restrained, many people still noticed it. Some of these people were close, and some were relatively far away.
There are still people coming now, in order to avoid them, Lin Fan can only keep changing the route.
This change naturally turned him into a marginal OB.
But as he watched, he vaguely realized that something was wrong.
"Why is everyone chasing after Senior Gu Xinglian?"
"Moreover, this direction..."
"Sister Wu, if I remember correctly, the direction that Senior Gu went to is the dangerous place you marked before, right?"
"Yes, there should be a native creature of the Ten Thousand Worlds Abyss among them. I don't know what it is, but it is much more powerful than the 'Sandworm' we have seen before."
“···”
“?!”
Lin Fan was shocked.
"Then why is she going in this direction?"
"Also, almost everyone is after her."
"etc!"
"Lin Zixiao and Mr. Xu got into a fight?"
"this···"
"Sister Wu, please ask the spirit of the Sky-viewing Mirror what they are going to do."
"good!"
The two astronomical mirrors immediately communicated silently.
Soon, Sister Wu told Lin Fan the reason.
"I see."
"War is not part of the plan, but just a counterattack? If so, it does make the plan more impeccable. So..."
"I should add fuel to the fire."
"And by the way, I'll clear Senior Gu of suspicion."
"Sister Wu, help me lead the way. I need to get to the creature's nest first and leave some traces. This way, when others arrive, they won't suspect Senior Gu. At the same time, it will be easier to instigate them to fight the creature."
Lin Fan immediately sped up.
With the Sky-viewing Mirror in hand, the Secret of the Word "Xing", and even the superposition of Three Thousand Thunders, Lin Fan's speed was naturally far beyond the reach of most ninth-level cultivators and immortals.
He stepped on lightning and it seemed that time and space were blurred. Under the guidance of the celestial mirror, he arrived at the area where the creature was from another angle and before Gu Xinglian and others.
Then, he deliberately left the same marks as before.
This mark is not long.
It was even a little intermittent, making people feel that this person was in an unstable state.
And this trace goes all the way to the creature's nest...
Until it was not far from the nest, it disappeared quietly.
After doing all this, Lin Fan quickly hid his figure and walked away.
“Oh my god.”
He couldn't help but whisper: "What a strong sense of oppression."
“This thing…”
"It's a bit scary how strong it is."
"Among all the creatures I have encountered, I am afraid there is no one stronger than this, except for the Black Lotus of Destruction."
"It is indeed very strong, and this thing is very strange."
Sister Wu was surprised and said, "It seems to have no entity. No wonder I couldn't see it clearly before."
“It’s dangerous…”
"Don't get close unless necessary!"
"That's natural."
Lin Fan sighed, "If I hadn't been forced to do so and if I hadn't wanted to cooperate with their plan, I wouldn't have gotten close to this damn thing."
"It looks like he's not someone you can mess with!"
"But now..."
"Let's wait and see what happens next. After all, we have done everything we can."
“···”
······
"This is?!"
Gu Xinglian ran the fastest.
Or maybe, in fact, her speed was not the fastest, but everyone else was waiting for her to lead the way, so she deliberately slowed down, and therefore, she was the first to discover the trace!
This discovery made her feel panicky.
It can't be that Lin Fan is really here? !
但随即她又觉得不太可能，何况，就算林凡之前真在这里，有观天镜在手的他，也完全可以提前发现自己和其他人并避开。
“所以，除非遭遇无法危机，否则他不可能还在附近。”
“还有一种可能便是，他故意为之。”
“是了，他若是一直都在我们百万里之内，那我们的一举一动他都能看的清清楚楚，纵然不知道我们在商议什么，但以他的机智程度，必然能猜个八九不离十，这痕迹，只怕就是他主动留下的。”
“为了让计划更为完善！”
“而无论是哪种可能，我都要将人引过来。”
她嘴角微微一勾，速度随之放缓。
很快，其他人也先后发现痕迹，顿时坚定心中所想。
“她果然有特殊手段，能提前发现那只老鼠的痕迹！”
“如此说来，只要控制住她，便不愁寻不到那只老鼠，哪怕是跑到天涯海角、万界深渊之尽头，都能将他抓回来，并夺回世界之心！”
这一刻，所有人都动了心思。
想杀顾星怜的，一个都没有。
但却是人人都想将她镇压，而后当做‘寻宝鼠’来使用。
只是，在他们沉思之时，顾星怜却已经悄然停下脚步。
众人也纷纷停下，看向顾星怜。
倒是没人出声，所有人都在等她做出下一步判断，此刻，在众人眼中，她无疑就是一个指路明灯。
这一点，顾星怜也意识到了。
随即，她突然想到，自己···
或许在这一次坑杀一部分人之后，还可以利用这一点带着其他人兜圈子。
如此一来，虽然一段时间之后自己会极为危险，但林凡却会相对安全不少。
林凡安全，世界之心与观天镜，便都安全了！
值得冒险！
一念及此，她有些茫然的看向身后众人：“你们为何跟着我？”
呵呵！
众人心头尽皆冷笑。
为何跟着你，你心里没点逼数么？
我们都发现痕迹了，你特娘的还在这儿装？
但···
他们都没说破。
此时此刻，谁还不明白啊？
这女人，分明就是发现了那老鼠的踪迹，甚至大概率都已经知道对方在哪儿了，可又不愿让自己等人知道，所以才在这里演戏。
想将自己等人骗走之后吃独食。
可是···
我们特娘的看上去有那么蠢、有那么好骗么？
能修行到这个境界，能有资格来万界深渊闯荡的，谁不是一方大佬？就算不是站在自己所处世界之巅，也相差无几了。
还能被你这点简直不要太浅显的伎俩给骗咯？
笑话！
不过···
拆穿倒也没必要。
大家心里有数，并在此基础上想办法将那臭老鼠找出来就是了。
拆穿这个女人，一来会导致气氛紧张、动辄就会剑拔弩张甚至开战，二来···她留着还有用呢~！
至于现在···
“呵呵，没什么。”
“是啊，其实我等也想出去了，只是一时间迷了路。”
“啊呀，那什么，我突然有些内急，想要方便方便。”
“不要脸，你都散仙了，还内急，你内个屁的急！那什么，诸位，我去看看他到底要整什么幺蛾子。”
“哎哟，我好像发现一个凶兽的身影一闪而逝，我看看去···”
“···”
面对顾星怜‘警惕’的目光。
足足两百多号强者却是顿时打着哈哈，纷纷朝四面八方散去了。
不知道的，看他们这嘻嘻啊哈哈的模样，只怕还要以为他们是老同学在秋游呢。
只是，他们看似嘻嘻哈哈，实则，却也都是极为谨慎。
看似都没管顾星怜，实际上，却是所有人都在以神识远远打量着顾星怜的变化。
当他们发现，顾星怜发现众人开始朝周围搜查、探寻之后，顿时面色铁青，还咬牙切齿之后，这才彻底放下心来。
不说其他，就她的表情，已经足以说明一切。
总不至于人均影帝吧？
倒不是他们太单纯、太容易相信他人，而是之前的一切，已经为顾星怜营造了极高的‘可信度’。
再则。
人，往往只会相信自己愿意相信的。
在此刻的他们看来，顾星怜就是一个人形寻宝鼠，且他们笃定，那只窃走世界之心的臭老鼠就在这片区域内躲藏，绝对不会离的太远。
在此基础上，又加上顾星怜表情等诸多细节，那自然再无疑虑。
突然！
一声轰鸣。
有动静！
众多‘小队’顿时目光一闪，不过，这次他们学聪明了，没有整个小队的人全部冲过去，而是先派一个人过去看看情况。
而他们很快发现，一个‘化身’被打爆。
“故技重施，黔驴技穷！”
“那臭老鼠果然就在附近！”
“快找！”
“···”
搜！
每个小队之间的相隔距离不足千里，他们全都瞪大双眼、神识外放到极致，不愿意错过任何一个微小的细节。
以顾星怜为中心，呈圆形向外进行地毯式搜索！
方法很笨。
但却很有效。
而途中，他们还遇到一路打过来的许唯一、林紫霄等人。
不少人对此表示不满。
“打打打，还打个屁啊！”
“要打滚出去打！”
“若是引来更多人，或是吓跑了那只老鼠，我等立刻出手将你们围杀！”
“···”
面对这个威胁，许唯一也不得不暂且停手，连忙与顾星怜汇合。
林紫霄远远看了顾星怜一眼，二者对视，都是微微点头示意。
这一幕，被许唯一发现，不由一愣，连忙传音道：“你们？”
“抱歉，师叔祖，方才没与你说清楚。”
“但也唯有如此，看上去才更为真实。”
事已至此，也不可能再继续瞒着许唯一。
顾星怜当即将自己的猜测与事情起因缓缓道来，许唯一听的眼皮子直跳，到最后，却是无奈叹息着传音道：“唉，我就知道，林凡小友绝对不是个省油的灯。”
“只是未曾想到，他竟如此胆大心细，而得手的人，竟然是他。”
“如此说来，我们却是尽一切可能将水搅浑了。”
“就是如此。”
顾星怜双目微微闪烁：“这此，便是个机会。”
······
“开始了。”
林凡远远观察着情况。
哪怕有观天镜在手，但他也没有过度依赖。
毕竟，谁也不知道哪些人有办法感知到观天镜的窥探，甚至是否有比观天镜更逆天的视野。
因此，他选择尽量离所有人都远些，只是让观天镜视野范围的边缘地带，有那么一两个人，关注他们动向的同时，实时调整自己所处的位置与方向。
如此一来，观天镜视野范围内也就那么一两个人，能感知到观天镜窥探的可能性，自然也就会无限降低。
如此，自己的处境才更为安全。
“说起来也是真操蛋。”
“本来以为是一场紧张刺激的万界大逃杀，结果到最后，怎么感觉逃的只有我一人，而其他人，全都要联手杀我的样子？”
他也是无语。
其实来之前，真没想过为了世界之心而拼命。
结果来了之后，阴差阳错，没几下就搞成了如今这个局面。
要说直接放弃世界之心，拔腿就跑，那肯定是没问题。
但现在还没到这个局面啊。
而且···
正所谓来都来了。
何况，东西都到手了，就这么放弃，那却也是万万不可能的。
“就看···”
“我能不能坚持到最后吧。”
“要一起干我是吧？”
“而现在，该你们付出一些代价了。”
林凡喃喃低语。
也就是此刻，一声惨叫突然传出。
一个七劫散仙不知为何突然惨嚎不止，还不等他队友上前查看，轰！
他突然被那火焰山内无处不在的黑炎所笼罩，但众人看的真切，这并非是他的防御手段失效而被黑炎灼烧。
反倒像是这些火焰是从他体内突然爆发。
有七窍往外狂喷，而黑炎里应外合之下，给与其重创。
“别碰他！”
其队友想救，却被人拦下。
正要发飙，就见此人以肉眼可见的速度，在短短一个呼吸之内便化作一具干尸，一具没有半点水分的干尸！
随后，那干瘪的尸体都无法保存，在黑炎的灼烧之下，直接化作飞灰。
只剩下其宝物躺在原地，静静闪烁着明灭不定的光芒。
“这？！！！”
他两名队友面色巨变，第一时间收起遗物，面色难看：“是何人出手？！”
“笑话！”
有人冷笑：“这本就是一处险地，在这险地之内黑炎无处不在，他被黑炎灼烧，而且是由内而外，你却问是何人出手？”
“不过是实力不足，顾头不顾腚、顾外不顾内，所以被黑炎焚烧而亡罢了，还想怪在我等头上不成？”
“噗嗤！”
嘲笑声接连不断。
有人死了？
除死者队友之外，其他人可不在乎，更不会伤心。
甚至还想哈哈大笑。
而其队友此刻那无能狂怒、又想找个人背锅的表现，更是让人忍不住笑出声来。
“你们！！！”
一个死者队友咬牙切齿，却被另一个队友拉住，并对他缓缓摇头。
他也只能强行冷静下来，低下头去，强忍怒火，继续搜寻。
此刻···
林紫霄、顾星怜自然也加入了搜寻队伍。
毕竟只有如此，才显得最为合理。
至于方才那人被黑炎灼烧至死，倒是无人在意。
毕竟，只是区区一个七劫散仙而已，在他们之中不说垫底的存在，却也是排名倒数阶层的实力。
这种实力被黑炎弄死了，那是他实力不足。
但想弄死自己···
谈何容易？！
他们都有一种迷之自信。
毕竟，至少到目前为止，还没有更强者惨死不是？
可很快，问题接二连三出现。
体内突然爆发黑炎，被焚烧而亡之人逐渐变多，只是短短半盏茶的功夫，就已经提升到八人！
这些人的修为，也是全然不同。
有绝顶修士，有六七劫散仙，甚至，还有一位十劫散仙也是因此而亡！
十劫散仙的死，让所有人都心头一震，感到有些不可思议。
“这黑炎···”
“竟然能悄无声息让十劫散仙中招并因此而亡？这！！！”
他们吃惊，且有些不可置信。
这与想象中不一样啊！
就算有人扛不住，亦或是待的越久越危险，不也该是从修为低的人开始吗？
为何突然会有十劫散仙都因此而暴毙？！
“不对劲！”
“莫非，与实力无关？！”
“若是与实力无关，只怕···便是与神魂强度有关了。”
“或许，万界深渊之内的东西太过诡异，而且源自诸天万界，很多东西，与我们的认知都不同，毕竟不是同一个世界之物，我们不认识、不清楚也很正常，而这黑炎，应该便是其中之一！”
“它应该有一种我们都无法感知、无法理解的手段，能悄无声息针对神魂，神魂强度不够者，便会首先遭殃。”
“譬如···它能悄无声息通过神魂影响他人意志，让人不知不觉间撤去身上防御，或者，哪怕只是撤去一瞬间，也足以让它全面得手？”
“···”
都是大佬，见多识广。
纵然他们没见过这诡异的黑炎，但却还是在三言两语之间，拼凑出最有可能的结果。
“如此说来，神魂强度不够者，还是快快出去为妙。”
“不错，尽快原路返回吧，否则，葬身于此，可就是人财两空了。”
“世界之心固然重要，可若是看都未曾看上一眼便不明不白死在如此诡异的手段之中，也未免太过可惜。”
“···”
‘大佬’们在劝。
尤其是自信自己神魂强度过人，至少不会在如此之短的时间内便会遭受影响之人。
在他们看来，如果大家的猜测没错，那自己，至少也可以坚持到最后阶段，是最终胜者之一。
至于劝其他人出去···
那自然是他们认为那臭老鼠就在附近，多出去一人，便少一个竞争对手。
何乐而不为？
“···”
“我不玩儿了！”
“该死，这地方太过诡异！”
“你们说的有道理，世界之心固然重要，可若是明智必死而为之···”
“哼！”
“···”
自家人知道自家事。
虽然身为各个世界的‘巅峰’，但他们也并非各方面都精通、更不是‘全属性’都很高，神魂强度总有人高、也有人低。
虽然没有个具体数值可以直观感受，但他们心里却还是清楚的很。
因此，短时间内便有近五十人打起退堂鼓，开始撤退。
顾星怜与许唯一对视一眼，许唯一想让顾星怜也出去。
但顾星怜却是缓缓摇头：“我不能走。”
“在他们眼中，我就是指路明灯，我若是走了，他们定然会以为我又发现了其他痕迹，就算不会所有人都跟着我，却也至少会离开一部分。”
“若是如此···”
“计划岂不是前功尽弃？”
许唯一：“···”
她还想劝，可瞧见顾星怜态度坚决，却也只能幽幽一叹。
“当心。”
她只能如此劝解。
······
“哈哈哈！”
见没有人再离去，一个十一劫散仙哈哈大笑道：“一群蝼蚁，早就该滚了！”
“区区蝼蚁而已，也想染指世界之心，他们也配？”
“接下来，便看我等，谁能笑到最后了，桀桀桀~！”
“此人···好狂啊。”林紫霄低语。
这话，却是让不远处一人听到了，他叹道：“的确很狂，但此人，有狂的本钱，我知道他，自号吃人魔君，人如其名。”
“他吃人，但却并非是用嘴吃人，而是他功法特殊，需要‘吃人’，强行吸收他人的血肉、神魂融入己身，并以此来全方位提升自己。”
“十万年前，他便进来过一次，那时，死在他手上之人，不在少数。”
“本以为十万年过去，他早就已经飞升，却没想到，他竟然一直都在压制境界，甚至还疯狂到主动兵解来修散仙，如今更是成为了十一劫散仙。”
“在场之人中···”
“论神魂强度，只怕没有几人在他之上。”
“若是不出意外，他还真会成为坚持到最后的几人之一。”
吃人流！
林紫霄眉头一挑。
所谓吃人流，在魔修之中并不算太过罕见，是魔修中的魔修。
甚至有些厉害的，还能通过‘吃人’而直接获取对方部分属性、技能。
若是此人没有胡说八道，那么这个吃人魔君的神魂强度，只怕还真是极为惊人。
可就在众人各怀鬼胎，准备继续探索时···
刚装完逼的吃人魔君却是突然惨叫一声，随即，与之前那些人一般无二，瞬间七窍喷火，而他自己，则很快便被黑炎吞噬。
强如吃人魔君、十一劫散仙，甚至不止一次进入万界深渊···
但此刻，却是依旧没有半点抵抗之力。
一旦爆发，几乎是‘瞬间暴毙’。
“啊！！！”
有人吃惊，惊呼声此起彼伏。
“怎会如此？！”
“竟然连他都···”
“他的神魂强度，至少可排进前五了吧？怎么会？！”
“莫非是之前推测有误，这黑炎，并不是影响神魂？”
有人更是怒骂道：“管它影响什么？这鬼东西，太妖邪了，我灭了他！”
随即，他出手，尝试以各种手段扑灭黑炎。
最开始，他手掐法诀，招来磅礴大雨落下···
然而，本应不相容的水与火，此刻却是互不影响、互不侵犯，好似分处两个不同的世界，你烧你的、我下我的···
随后，他又使用各种手段。
但却没什么卵用。
无论是下雨、吹风、用土系法术凝聚大量泥土将其掩埋，亦或是最为直接的‘物理与魔法攻击’，全都无效！
哪怕能偶尔让其熄灭些许，可下一秒就又会卷土重来，而且更加凶猛。
有人怀疑是地下有古怪。
直接对着地下就是一顿狂轰乱炸，足足将地面轰出一个深达数里的大坑。
然而，还是没什么卵用。
黑炎依旧在熊熊燃烧，无处不在。
“这？？？”
他们错愕。
却引来部分人嘲笑：“愚蠢。”
“若是黑炎能够解决，又岂会等到你们来尝试？”
“我们早已试过了！”
“何况，纵然真能解决，也绝不会是如此稀松平常的手段。”
“怕死的，还是赶紧滚吧。”
“如今···可并非是神魂强度足够，就能活下去了。”
“···”
······
这一刻，所有人都有些忐忑。
恐惧，源于未知！
对于这些各个世界的顶尖强者而言，其实，他们往往不怕所谓的‘强者’，强者再强，也有迹可循。
纵然打不过，好歹可以保命。
若是连保命都办不到···
那自己还可以逃嘛。
实在不行，还有跪地求饶这一个选择。
但此刻，面对这未知却又恐怖的黑炎，却是让所有人都感到不安。
只是···
大部分人还是不愿意放弃。
毕竟，眼看着肥肉都已经要到嘴边了啊！
林紫霄也有些忐忑。
此刻人多，她不便将观天镜取出来仔细分析，但却也通过神识不断与阿无姐交流，可哪怕是她，此刻也没能搞清楚具体缘由。
同样。
林凡也有些头皮发麻。
“到底是什么鬼东西？”
“是那个未知且奇特的生物在搞鬼吗？”
“还是这黑炎本身的问题？”
“我也在考虑这一点。”无姐姐沉吟道：“从进来到现在，其实我一直都在想办法分析黑炎的构成。”
“可是···”
“一直到现在，我都没能弄清楚，这黑炎到底是什么。”
“它像是火焰，但却没有火焰的特性。”
“乍一看，似乎有吞噬之力，可这个形容又不准确。”
“甚至，我此刻越看它越像是拥有一部分生命体的特征。”
“···”
“生命体？”
说者无心，听者有意。
林凡突然瞪眼：“你说，有没有一种可能，这所有的黑炎，其实，都是那个未知生命体的一部分？”
“···这？！”
“有些太过匪夷所思了。”
无姐姐道：“若真是如此，它也未免太大了些！”
这火焰山，说是山，其实，却是极为庞大。
Although they had only explored a part of it, based on previous experience, they speculated that this entire "Flame Mountain" was probably a world in itself before "coming" to the Abyss of All Worlds.
In other words...
A creature nearly the size of a world?
Is that still a living thing?
"There are all kinds of wonders in the universe, maybe?"
Lin Fan, however, has a different opinion.
big?
It’s really ridiculously big.
But who says there can’t be creatures that big?
Many times, we cannot judge everything based on our own cognition.
After all, everyone's cognition comes from the knowledge he can access.
Unreachable...
Who knows?
Just like in the previous life on Earth, only carbon-based life existed.
But is it possible that the entire universe, and even the heavens and all worlds, only have carbon-based life forms?
"Moreover, if we look at it as a living organism, it seems that many of the puzzles we had before can be easily solved."
"but···"
"This is just a guess. I have no idea what methods the other party used and how they 'selected' their targets."
"Sister Wu, please pay more attention to me. If anything approaches, no matter what it is, you must remind me immediately!"
Lin Fan doesn't want to become a mummy and then turn into ashes!
"good!"
Sister Wu agreed immediately, but Lin Fan still didn't dare to relax even a little bit.
At the same time, he frowned and thought: "It doesn't matter what realm you are in, or how strong your spirit is."
“···”
"Either this suspicious creature is selecting its targets at random, or..."
"Everyone is within the attack range and is constantly under attack. It's just that the 'attribute' of the attack cannot be determined yet."
"When this 'attribute' exceeds the upper limit of a person's attribute, it will explode, causing black flames to erupt from the inside out, turning them into ashes in a short period of time..."
"Sister Wu, let's take a risk, get closer, and observe more people, especially the one who will be turned into ashes next, so that we can make more comparisons."
