Chapter 295 Why is this place like a cemetery?
"Ajiu."
"Yeah." Ajiu raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu.
"Use your eyes." Xiao Yu's voice was low, "Tell us if there is a road here."
Ajiu was stunned for a moment and nodded obediently.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her originally clear eyes had turned into a deep purple, with countless stars slowly moving in the depths of her pupils.
Divine pupil, open.
In Ajiu's vision, the whole world has changed.
Those violent space fragments are no longer simple stones, but energy balls entangled with chaotic energy.
That terrifying time fog was a vast expanse of gray energy emitting an aura of death.
And amidst this chaos and dead energy, she saw something.
Some very thin "lines" emitting faint white light.
These "lines" meander through the gaps between countless energy balls, appearing and disappearing from time to time, so fragile that they seem like they will break at any time.
"Yes." Jiu said softly.
"wired."
"Line." Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi looked at her at the same time.
"Hmm," Jiu pointed to an area in front of him on the left where the debris seemed to be most densely packed. "There's a very thin white line over there. It keeps moving, but it doesn't break."
Chu Xuanyi looked in the direction she pointed, only to see a dense "meteor shower" coming towards them. He was so scared that he almost removed the defensive shield.
"Ajiu, you're kidding, right?" he asked in a trembling voice. "Going that way is simply courting death."
Xiao Yu didn't have any doubts.
"Xuan Yi, concentrate all defenses on the left front."
"What."
"Listen to me."
"...Crazy, both of you are crazy." Although Chu Xuanyi cursed, his hands did not stop moving.
He gritted his teeth and pulled the shaky defensive shield forward suddenly. All his strength was condensed into a thick golden shield, which was pressed firmly against the front left side of the shield.
"Hold on tight."
Xiao Yu let out a low growl, put his arm around Ajiu's waist, and the dragon vein energy in his body burst out without reservation, turning into a powerful driving force, pushing the entire light shield into the most dangerous-looking debris storm.
"Bang bang bang bang bang."
A series of dense collisions were like a rainstorm hitting banana leaves, causing the three people in the light shield to feel their blood boiling.
The golden shield condensed by Chu Xuanyi was covered with cracks under the first wave of impact, as if it would completely shatter in the next second.
"Ajiu, continue to show the way." Xiao Yu's voice remained steady despite the violent turbulence.
"Up ahead, a little higher." Ah Jiu stared closely at the white line that shuttled through countless energy balls and shouted, "Hurry, it's about to turn, go to the right."
"Go down further, quickly."
Under Ajiu's command, Xiao Yu controlled the light shield and traveled through the raging sea filled with countless reefs and whirlpools.
Several times, huge space debris almost brushed past their light shield, and the strong wind it brought even caused the light shield to deform.
Chu Xuanyi's face was as white as paper, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
He had never experienced anything so exciting in his life.
I don’t know how long it took.
When they finally escaped the densest debris storm without any danger, all three of them felt like they had survived a disaster.
Chu Xuanyi's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Alive...alive." He gasped for breath. "We actually made it here."
However, before he could be happy for too long, Ajiu's voice rang out again.
"Brother Xiongxiong, that white line has ended."
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately looked forward.
Not far ahead of them, they saw a huge piece of land floating.
It is called land because it really looks like an island dug out from the earth by humans, and there are even mountains and withered trees on it.
The end point of the thin white line that Jiu saw was firmly connected to the floating island.
"It's a stable spatial singularity," Chu Xuanyi's eyes lit up instantly, "Is it the main body of the observatory, or is it just a transit station?"
"No matter what it is," Xiao Yu's eyes became sharper, "at least we have a place to stay."
He glanced at the approaching fog of time behind him, and without hesitation, he immediately mobilized his strength and flew towards the floating island with the light shield.
Following a violent vibration, the golden defensive shield finally carried the three people onto the floating island.
The moment the light shield touched the solid ground, it made a light sound similar to the breaking of glass, and turned into golden light spots all over the sky and disappeared without a trace.
"Ouch my old waist."
Chu Xuanyi, who had been struggling to hold on, could no longer hold on. His legs softened and he collapsed to the ground. His face was pale and he was gasping for breath, looking completely awful.
He pounded his aching back, muttering with lingering fear, "I'm done with this, I'm done with this. I don't want to experience this again in my lifetime. This isn't just a journey, this is like risking your life walking on a tightrope."
Compared to his embarrassment, Xiao Yu was much calmer. He landed steadily and immediately protected Ajiu behind him.
Ah Jiu poked his head out from behind Xiao Yu, looked around curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiong Xiong, is this the Tianshu Observatory? Why does it feel... so cold?"
It's more than just cold.
When the initial tension faded, a bone-deep silence enveloped the area.
Looking around, the entire island was a strange grayish hue, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of ash-like dust, which was soft and made no sound when stepped on.
Those plants that may have once been towering trees are now only left with charred and dry branches, twisted and pointing towards the gray sky, like ghost hands stretched out in despair.
There was no wind in the air, so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat. There was also a faint smell of decay, similar to that of old rotten wood.
"Something's wrong," Xiao Yu frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's too quiet here, too quiet."
"It's more than just wrong, it's downright weird." Chu Xuanyi also got up from the ground, dusted off his robe, and looked at the surroundings with disgust. "Oh my God, this place is creepier than a mass grave. Not even a bug can be heard. Where's the ancient observatory we were promised? Why does it feel like a giant cemetery?"
