Chapter 358: Fog in the Cemetery
Li Fan recalled the various anecdotes about the maze that Huangfu Qi had told him before.
"There is simply vastness, with no space for anything else to exist."
"But some are like the Abyss, hiding many strange and dangerous things."
"But everything is hidden in the vast white fog. If a monk strays into it, it would be like being blind. It is impossible to perceive the whole picture."
"The supplies I brought can last for about fifteen days. Whether I can pass through this maze depends on my luck in this life."
After calming himself down, Li Fan did not continue to move forward in the direction of the Eternal Immortal Fortress he sensed.
Instead, it marks it as the "front" direction and flies to the corresponding "down" direction itself.
In the ordinary [white fog barrier], there is land.
It was just a flat land filled with dead silence, without any signs of any other life or buildings.
Even normal ups and downs are rare.
It is said that walking on it will suppress the instinctive desire for life in one's heart and produce various impulses to commit suicide.
The maze is an independent, brand new space.
Whether there is a "bottom" or not depends on the specific situation of the maze.
The abyss is bottomless.
Li Fan has to explore this mysterious area to find out the truth.
As for why it went "downwards" instead of "upwards" and flew directly out of the range of the maze...
That’s because Huangfu Song had mentioned to Li Fan before that accidentally entering a maze is equivalent to entering a cave world without boundaries.
Once you are trapped in a maze, it is basically impossible to fly out just by flying.
Only by finding the connection between the maze and normal space, the so-called "exit", can you leave.
Let’s use the example of Chizha Abyss to illustrate.
The broken palm of blue stone forever guards the outside of the abyss. If the Qingxuan army accidentally falls into the abyss, as long as they enter the territory of the abyss, even if they seem to be just at the border of the abyss, they are only a thin line away from the Eternal Immortal Barrier and can return in one step.
But the distance is so short that, since they are not in two identical spaces, they may not be able to cross it even if they fly until they die.
Since the establishment of Broken Palm Immortal City, no cultivator who accidentally fell into the abyss has ever come back alive.
The exit of the maze connects two different spaces.
Therefore, the scenery is probably different from that of the maze itself. As long as you get close, you can still detect it even if it is covered by white fog.
This is also Li Fan’s hope to escape from trouble.
Li Fan used all his strength to activate the Zixiao escape technique and continued to go down. About half a day passed.
Li Fan, who was flying, suddenly changed his expression.
His spiritual sense sensed that there seemed to be something blocking the way not far in front of him, within his reach.
However, in the Yuan-devouring white mist, the sensing distance of spiritual consciousness was greatly reduced.
By the time he reacted, it was too late for him to dodge and he was about to be hit head-on.
Two dark rays of light shot out from Li Fan's eyes.
The purple light was several times faster than the one he transformed into, and it obliterated the shadow hidden in the white fog ahead.
Under the Great Five Elements Nirvana Sword, all obstacles turned into nothingness.
It also prevented Li Fan from being knocked unconscious.
Only then did Li Fan slow down, become alert, and slowly approach.
After seeing clearly what was blocking him, Li Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was not some strange creature, but a collapsed, tilted building.
A large hole was pierced in the center of the building by the Sword of Annihilation, but one could still vaguely see its original appearance.
The tall building is hollowed out from a huge stone, and the carvings and doors are still clearly visible.
Li Fan did not rashly enter the collapsed building, but continued to fly downwards.
Soon, it fell to the ground.
There was a creaking sound, as if something was stepped on.
When his spiritual sense swept over, Li Fan's heart suddenly tightened.
Because that was actually a living person!
His eyes were glaring, his face had a ferocious expression, and he stared at Li Fan!
"How could there be living people in this maze?" This thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and Li Fan's body reacted subconsciously.
His figure retreated violently and the Five Elements Annihilation Sword was unsheathed again.
However, just when he was facing a formidable enemy, something happened that surprised Li Fan.
The "living person" who had just had contact with him did not move at all under Li Fan's gaze.
But in an instant, the body turned into gray particles and scattered all over the ground.
In just a moment, the living person turned into ashes.
"Huh? Not a living person, dead a long time ago?"
Li Fan frowned slightly.
Li Fan, who had extensive experience in tomb robbing, was no stranger to this scene.
Those ancient artifacts that had been sealed away for thousands of years seemed vivid just a moment ago.
But after coming into contact with the outside world, it immediately lost its original appearance and became corrupt.
The situation in this maze is even worse.
It actually turned into smoke and dust and disappeared completely.
"Where is this place..."
Without letting down his guard, Li Fan searched the surroundings carefully.
The scene he saw made Li Fan, who was used to seeing blood, feel his scalp tingling.
Within a radius of a hundred feet, there were collapsed and damaged building ruins everywhere.
In every corner of the ruins, there were many corpses lying in all directions.
They still retain the appearance and expressions they had when they were alive.
It was as if they had seen something that made them extremely hateful and fearful, and their faces were filled with despair and resentment.
Time stopped at the moment they died.
It was as if a disaster had suddenly struck, and everyone in the ruins lost their lives at the same time.
No wounds, no blood.
But he died just like that.
Just like when Li Fan accidentally stepped on the corpse before, as long as they come into contact with Li Fan, an outsider, they will turn into ashes in an instant and completely dissipate.
What frightened Li Fan was that these people were obviously not ordinary people.
The storage rings they were wearing and the various magic weapons they had just taken out but had not yet had time to use.
All of them indicate their identity as monks.
But in front of that unknown existence, they can only wait for death helplessly like ordinary people.
Li Fan came to a corpse and tried to take the storage ring from his hand.
See if you can find any clues about these monks who died inexplicably.
Unfortunately, it looks exactly like those corpses.
As long as Li Fan touched them, they would immediately disappear into thin air.
I tried it several times and it was the same every time.
Li Fan had to give up.
Suppress the chill in your heart and continue exploring outside.
The painting style remains unchanged.
The continuous ruins have become a giant cemetery.
It is where countless bodies of people who died who knows how long ago are buried.
To the extent that Li Fan became somewhat numb after watching it.
Increase the flying speed and rush out of the range of the ruins.
"This seems to be a gathering place. Some of the monks are wearing the same clothes, while others are different."
"Different sects gathered here for some reason?"
