The origin of the nightmare is extremely mysterious, not only to Luogong City, but even the knowledgeable Bai Shiying is also confused and unaware of it.
No one knows what kind of creature this powerful woman who calls herself the 'Scarlet Messenger' is, or which planet or world she comes from.
Even at the peak of humanity's interstellar age, it had only just begun to develop the solar system, and had not yet reached the stage of conquering the Milky Way, other galaxies, star fields, or even the universe.
Therefore, there are too many unknowns in this world. Even the group of exotic monsters that invaded the world do not have much information to obtain.
"How long will it take to reach the interior of the hall?"
Bai Shiying asked eagerly. She could hardly hide her excitement about the powerful exotic creature.
Although humans are not naturally powerful, they possess learning and replication abilities that are unmatched by many creatures. Even the weakest humans, if given the opportunity, can learn the abilities and unique forms of power of powerful creatures.
Of course, this assumes that this powerful creature hasn't undergone a qualitative transformation to the point where it's unobservable. If one can't understand and deduce it using existing knowledge and text, then the possibility of learning is practically zero.
"Through this passage, we can reach the interior of the main hall, which is where the Luo Palace is located." Lin Chen spoke in front, gradually picking up his pace. "Originally, we could rely on the energy system here to travel through space, but since more than ten years ago, the earth seems to be covered by some strange and terrifying force. No means or secret treasures can fold or move through space."
He is a human on Earth. He just noticed the weirdness in the Earth's space, but he didn't know the specific truth, let alone that the Three Pillars of Avalon were fighting with the Dark Red Book in the high-dimensional space.
Even if the aftermath of the power of the gods spreads out, it is enough to cause chaos in the deep space of the entire solar system. Not to mention the space folding technology, even a powerful fairy wizard cannot open the space portal and can only fly or run on the earth.
As for the rainbow bridge that connects different worlds and is supported by the power of gods, that is another matter.
"I'm aware of this, so now I can only rely on my own strength to move, which is very inconvenient."
Bai Shiying nodded, expressing her understanding.
She is a powerful being in the netherworld with an indestructible body, so she can travel between major fortified cities and even live in a contaminated area full of radiation.
However, it is very difficult for ordinary powerful people in the Void Realm to explore this continent. They can only move within a certain range of the fortified city. Otherwise, they must have reliable supplies before they dare to travel far.
"But if it weren't for this, even with the support of the defensive formation, it probably wouldn't be possible to trap that terrifying nightmare."
Lin Chen smiled, this is what it means when misfortunes come with blessings.
If Nightmare could open a portal and make medium to long distance space jumps, they really wouldn't be able to stop him.
While discussing the details, the two of them moved quickly into the passage and soon disappeared without a trace.
However, after the two left, there was still a faint shadow where Lin Chen and Bai Shiying had stood before, as if it was stuck to the ground.
Logically speaking, when light shines on a living thing, a shadow will inevitably be cast under its feet. It is impossible for a shadow to exist independently of the living thing.
But now...
The shadows left by the two of them did not disappear on the ground, but began to twist and wriggle, like long, thin lines, or like dancing snakes and insects, turning in patches on the ground.
Whoosh——
Gusts of sharp, cold wind, carrying a sweet smell of blood, began to spread nearby.
After a while, the shadow gradually turned blood red, gathered together irregularly, and then slowly squeezed out from the metal floor.
This process is actually to squeeze the flat shadow into a three-dimensional solid.
Then this three-dimensional blood-red shadow began to expand and shrink, emitting an extremely evil and weird aura, and then exploded in all directions in the next second, revealing Xu Xianxian's petite and cute appearance.
"Nightmare..." Xu Xianxian looked at the end of the passage, wrinkled her cute little nose, and called out softly: "Nightmare... Nightmare... If you are not dead, just squeak."
This nightmare is actually a spirit realm (legendary) creature. Even if it is not the real body that came to the earth, but just a clone, it still possesses the power of the peak of the netherworld, and should not be captured and suppressed by human formations.
All right...
Nightmare would not have fallen to this point. The reason why he was captured by the formation of Luogong City was mostly due to Xu Xianxian.
The opponent was severely injured by the loli in the nightmare, and before he could catch his breath and recover, he was immediately restrained by the human defense formation. This series of attacks instantly overturned this powerful hell nightmare.
Xu Xianxian stood there waiting for a long time, but the "squeak" sound from the nightmare didn't come. This made her look a little disappointed. Then she shook her head, turned around and prepared to leave.
This Scarlet Envoy, she thought he was a king, but he was just a piece of scrap metal who couldn't even escape a mere predicament. How could he be qualified to cooperate with her?
Fortunately, I took advantage of Fu Bei's convenience and sneaked in.
"Help..."
Just as Xu Xianxian took a step forward, a nightmare scene appeared in the light and shadow reflected on the ground.
She is no longer the strange red humanoid, but has the appearance of a human woman. However, her pretty face looks pale, and she appears very weak and frail. Light blue energy chains are wrapped around her limbs, and she is being suppressed in the deepest part of a palace. It seems that she has lost the magic power to transform back into her true form.
"Well, you're still alive." Xu Xianxian looked down at the light and shadow cast by the nightmare, shrugged helplessly, and retracted the little foot that had just stepped out. "Wait until I rescue you, and then we can discuss the terms."
She didn't even bargain with the projection of Nightmare on the spot, because she knew that even if she rescued the other party now, Nightmare was in an extremely weak state and there was no possibility of him turning around. How to flatten him when the time comes was just a matter of a word from her, Xu Xianxian.
As early as the very beginning, Nightmare's powerful and strange nature was the object of her covetousness. Even though the demand for him is not as great as before, she will not let go of such a good opportunity.
After all, as a fairy wizard, Xu Xianxian has experienced the control of the demigod fairies over the magic network, so she has an extremely strong curiosity and desire to explore all the mysteries in the world that cannot be grasped and understood. Any knowledge that can be used can become part of her power.
This is the way of magic.
