Finally, the four wounded and exhausted creatures managed to gather in the shelter that Gu Lingxiao had carefully built.
This shelter is like an impregnable fortress, completely shutting out the harsh cold from the outside world.
As they stepped inside, a warm feeling washed over them, like a gentle spring breeze caressing their faces, gradually restoring sensation to their long-frozen bodies.
"This damn world's rules are just too absurd! I'm frostbitten and starving!" Black General complained, panting heavily.
His once bright eyes now appeared dull and lifeless, revealing a deep sense of helplessness and exhaustion.
After resting for a while, everyone waited for the biting cold to gradually subside.
During this time, they devoured a large amount of food to replenish their depleted strength.
Once their strength had recovered somewhat, these creatures finally had the energy to begin discussing their next course of action.
Gu Lingxiao closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on activating his location perception ability.
However, disappointingly, the result was the same as before – the huge arrow remained firmly pointed at him.
Whether searching for the most precious items or exploring the source of danger, the arrows were always aimed at him without mercy.
Faced with this bizarre situation, Gu Lingxiao couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his abilities.
But this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, because he soon had another bold guess: perhaps the arrow was not pointing to him personally, but to the whole mysterious and unpredictable world itself!
To verify his astonishing guess, Gu Lingxiao took a deep breath, then his figure flickered and instantly transformed into a dazzling light element, drifting lightly into the air like a shooting star.
As he continued to rise, his field of vision gradually opened up, and the direction pointed to by the mysterious arrow was indeed the vast and boundless world beneath their feet!
Just then, Hei Dashuai, who had been quietly observing from the side, was startled by Gu Lingxiao's sudden action.
Upon seeing Gu Lingxiao reform from his elemental state into Velu, Black General couldn't help but ask, "Hey, why did you suddenly unleash your abilities? And seriously, are you even a native of our Stone King Kingdom? How do you possess so many abilities?"
After saying this, Black Commander seemed to feel it wasn't enough. He then turned his gaze to the silent Ollie and continued to ask, "And you, Brother Ollie, who are you? You've clearly reached the powerful level of the fifth stage of the Extraordinary Realm, so why are you completely unknown in the Black Sea World? Could it be that you, like Gu Lingxiao, have a secret identity that no one knows about?"
However, Gu Lingxiao was completely absorbed in his own thoughts at the moment and had no time to pay attention to Hei Dashuai's barrage of questions.
He frowned deeply, various thoughts flashing through his mind.
Based on the feedback from the previously obtained location perception ability, this world actually possesses both the most precious treasures and the source of extreme danger. So what secrets does it hide?
The more Gu Lingxiao thought about it, the more confused and clueless he felt, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
The mystery before him was like a thick fog, making it impossible for him to see the truth no matter how hard he tried.
At that moment, something unexpected happened! The astonishing amount of supplies that Gu Lingxiao had previously stockpiled were rapidly decreasing at a visible rate. As if drawn by a mysterious and powerful force, they were quickly transformed into super energy and rushed straight into the ground.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Black Commander and the other creatures stood up in a panic, their faces full of astonishment, their eyes fixed on the disappearing supplies.
They could hardly believe what they were seeing; how could these supplies, which should have been safely stored away, have suddenly undergone such a bizarre change?
However, before the creatures could recover from their shock, an even more astonishing scene unfolded—the entire world outside seemed to have been suddenly put on pause, time stood still, and everything remained motionless.
Immediately afterwards, an unimaginably enormous phantom slowly emerged like a ghost.
As the phantom gradually became clearer and more solid, the earth began to tremble violently, and shocking cracks spread out like a spider web.
The ground seemed unable to withstand the immense pressure any longer and could collapse completely at any moment.
At the same time, all the super energy in this world seemed to be summoned, and continuously converged towards that phantom.
The phantom was like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring all the super energy around it without stopping.
"This...is this a resurrection?" Ollie's eyes widened as he muttered to himself.
He was filled with doubt and had no idea why this was happening.
Seeing this, the Black General anxiously asked Ollie, "What exactly happened? Tell us quickly!"
Ollie took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then explained: "As far as I know, it seems that the owner of some extraordinary artifact is trying to be resurrected."
Normally, this resurrection requires injecting a large amount of super-energy into the extraordinary vessel. Only when the energy accumulates to a certain level can the dormant creature within awaken and be reborn.
"What kind of creature is this? Why have I never seen anything like it before!" Xiaoyao Jun stared wide-eyed at the phantom, his heart filled with curiosity and astonishment.
His gaze was like two torches, aimed directly at the mysterious being, trying to find some clues from its appearance.
Just then, a figure slowly walked out of the shelter.
It turned out to be Gu Lingxiao. He walked steadily with a solemn expression.
He stopped beside Xiaoyao Jun, looked up at the phantom in the sky, and said softly, "This is a human."
Upon hearing Gu Lingxiao's answer, Xiaoyao Jun was slightly taken aback, his face showing confusion, because he had never heard of the human race.
Gu Lingxiao examined the illusory figure more closely once again.
At this moment, Gu Lingxiao roughly understood—this world was actually a supernatural artifact! The reason why his location perception ability had previously told him about the location of the most precious items and the source of danger being located in this world was also explained at this moment.
The reason why the most precious thing is this world is precisely because it has extremely high value as a vessel for the extraordinary.
The source of the danger also originates from this world, because the creature within this extraordinary artifact needs to acquire a large amount of super energy to be resurrected.
The source of this super energy is very likely the super energy contained within Gu Lingxiao and his companions themselves.
If his speculation is correct, then once their super energy is completely drained by those creatures, death will be the only outcome awaiting them.
