Mysterious Continent
The Xuanren team walked on the snow, carefully searching for any abnormal places. Yuan used a magnetic field compass to detect, and several people approached the northeast direction.
Xiaobai was pretending to look for something. Not far away, there was a ragged beggar sitting on the street, looking at this group of strange people gloomily.
Xiaobai was bent over, and the bulging wallet on his waist was about to fall off. The beggar snatched the wallet away in lightning speed and ran away.
He reacted immediately and chased after him, "Hey, thief."
The others noticed and followed him. The red-haired man cursed inwardly, "This newbie can't even take care of his own stuff, he's just causing trouble." If it were any other member of Xuanren, they wouldn't even be able to get close to them. But it was Xiaobai, who had the worst kung fu and always loved to show off his financial strength.
Xiaobai suddenly stopped and the red-haired man almost bumped into him, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiaobai ignored him. The red-haired man looked around and found that the person was gone.
In front of them was a group of identical building facades, but strangely, there was no one there. The few people who caught up with them became alert.
"Be careful." Yuan reminded.
The team took a defensive stance and walked slowly. They walked for a while and nothing happened, and they didn't see anything on this road.
Xiaobai: "What kind of place is this? It's so weird."
Red-haired man: "There are quite a few strange things in this city."
"Why does this road seem to have no end?"
Ye Lin was walking at the back, looked back, and stopped.
"Don't go." She opened her mouth to say something, but Xiaobai interrupted her.
"What do you think is behind this corridor and alley?" He walked towards the gap between the adjacent buildings.
He walked in front, leaning forward. There was no end to the gap in sight, and the aisle gradually became narrower as he walked.
"Don't come in. It's difficult to get in here. Let me go and take a look first."
I walked forward sideways, and the passage kept getting narrower. When I got to the front, I could no longer see any light, and it was pitch black in the depths.
Xiaobai felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to walk sideways, and he would be stuck if he took another step forward.
He gave up and retreated, and came out smoothly. He saw that the thief who took his wallet had been caught by the team.
Xiaobai took two or three steps forward and snatched back his wallet. "This city's morals are terrible. There are still people who rob openly. They are all corrupted by people like you."
The beggar was kneeling on the ground, saying something in a language they didn't understand.
"What's he mumbling? I don't understand. Is he scolding me?"
Ye Lin understood what he said. It was ancient Rossi. "Outsiders are not blessed and should not exist. It is you who brought the heavy snow. You will definitely be punished."
She herself was also puzzled. She knew the meaning of some ancient Rossi characters, but the phonetic notation had long been lost. How did she know it when she had never heard of it before?
"Let him go. People here are very xenophobic. It's better not to cause unnecessary trouble." Yuan said.
The red-haired man let go of the beggar, and he disappeared without a trace.
"Just let him go like this, but he dared to covet my money."
"Keep an eye on your things. This isn't Gao Country. No one's going to back you up. Don't make a big fuss about your trip this time."
He admitted that he was in the wrong and did not refute.
"Let's go back. It seems there is nothing here." Several people walked back and walked out of here after a while.
"I remember we walked for a long time, and we came out so quickly."
Ye Lin looked back again and said nothing.
Everyone who returned to the dormitory had already rested. Ye Lin glanced at CC who was sleeping soundly and turned off the desk lamp.
I grabbed my things and was about to go out, "Lin."
CC sat up. She didn't say much, "Be careful. Good luck."
Ye Lin didn't say anything, but still opened the door.
The duplicate buildings she saw today were the same ones she had seen next to each other in the town before.
She came to the building that had no entrance. There was an aisle between the two buildings, but it was so dark in the middle of the night that she couldn't see anything.
Ye Lin turned on the lighting equipment, but the light source seemed to be trapped in this small space and unable to penetrate. She walked in.
She was enveloped in darkness but could vaguely see the distance between the two walls. She walked until the width was too wide to accommodate even one body, and suddenly stopped.
She shone the light backwards, unable to see even the entrance, and turned it off.
She closed her eyes, blending into the darkness, not using her eyes to see. She continued walking forward, not knowing how long she had walked.
There was no feeling of being blocked or cramped at all when I took another step.
She could feel the light even with her eyes closed, so she opened them.
A city decorated with loess and sand was right in front of her, and the land under her feet was no longer the same.
The old man who was drinking opened his eyes and sat up.
He called out loudly: "Evil disciple."
A young boy with white hair walked in. "Master, what's wrong? No more wine?"
The old man threw a stone at him, but the white-haired boy dodged it. "Does your master look like someone who only knows how to ask his apprentice for wine?"
He muttered softly, "Isn't it?"
"Hmm?" the old man said in a warning tone.
The boy laughed awkwardly, "Then what does Master want from me?"
"An old friend is coming, go and greet him."
"Is this the person Master has been waiting for?" The boy became interested.
"Go quickly, so much nonsense."
"I see. The apprentice has gone." He walked out of the garden.
As she looked at the city gate, a sense of familiarity and resistance of fear surged in her heart, and her hands and feet could not stop shaking.
This further confirmed her suspicions. She grasped the jade pendant around her neck, suppressing the discomfort. She tucked it back into her collar and set foot in the city.
The city has only one gate and no complete walls. The lonely gate seems to be just a symbol of this place, just like a signpost.
Quan State, Shadow Trial Ground
Old Master Ji solemnly said to Ji Jinyan, "You are the fastest person in the history of our Ji family to pass the Shadow Domain training. The next step is the final trial. Jinyan, I know what you are thinking, but I still hope you can do your best. If you really can't make it out in time, don't give up your life in vain. There is still a chance."
"Grandpa, I will get out alive." He has more important things to do.
Ji Hurricane nodded at him and said, "Go ahead."
He stepped into the trial ground, leaving behind only a resolute figure.
The city was deserted and Ye Lin didn't see a single living person. It was very empty and extremely cold everywhere.
As she was walking, she suddenly realized that someone was staring at her secretly. Ye Lin remained calm and continued walking.
Suddenly several people rushed out and attacked her, but Ye Lin was prepared and they broke through one by one, and even the corner of her clothes was not touched.
She looked at the four men. They were all pale and thin, poorly dressed, covered in dust, and the knives in their hands were covered in large patches of rust.
There is greed in their eyes, what do they want?
Some of them swallowed, revealing their terrifying black and yellow fangs, and slashed towards Ye Lin fiercely.
That is the look of looking at food. It turns out to be the desire for food among the five desires. Birds die for food.
These people were no match for Ye Lin at all. Even if they tried their best, they all died at the hands of Ye Lin in the end.
Three people were lying on the ground, and one of them turned around and ran away when he saw that he couldn't win.
After Ye Lin finished packing, she continued walking forward, following the direction the man had escaped.
She gradually walked away and her figure became unclear. She stopped and looked in a certain direction.
"Come out." She faced that direction.
"How did you find me? I'm really good at hiding my breath." The white-haired boy came out.
"You people here also know Interlingua."
"International Language? Oh, so that's what it's called International Language. It's that damn old man who forced me to learn it. My feelings are for you.
You're quite skilled, worthy of being a Y." He praised.
Ye Lin's heart was filled with alarm and her eyes became sharp.
"Don't be surprised. After all, you're quite famous. You have the highest bounty on the dark web. We're not in a remote area. We all have internet access. We mainly get our information through 'ars'."
Ye Lin remembered this circumvention website lurking in the Quan State, "ARS was established by you."
"I don't have that ability, but I know who created it."
Ye Lin felt something in her ears and looked in the direction she came from.
She used her super vision and saw that the person who had been lying on the ground was being ripped open and eaten by several people, who were enjoying the feast like animals.
It wasn't just one group of people who were staring at Ye Lin. The rest of the people who were secretly observing her saw that Ye Lin was difficult to deal with, so they didn't take action. After all, they wanted to stay alive. If they got hurt or got themselves into trouble here, they would become someone else's meal.
Ye Lin's uniqueness has always been her two extraordinary senses, eyes and ears.
Since she was a child, she discovered that she could control the sensitivity of her eyes and ears, and adjust the clarity of the objects she saw with her eyes, which was equivalent to a microscope that could be adjusted at will.
You can hear sounds beyond the normal distance, such as the sound of passing cars, the sound of conversations behind closed doors, and the subtle sounds of movement of things.
When she doesn't use these abilities, her vision and hearing are no different from those of ordinary people.
Seeing her looking over there, the white-haired man kindly explained, "Those poor people in the barren caves often ambush lambs that stray into this place and feast on them.
But don't worry, not everyone can find the random exit, so they can't get out. Even if they do, they won't be able to adapt to the environment outside and will suffocate and die soon.
"The Barren Cave."
"That place is where the lowest class of people live. Survival is very difficult for them."
Ye Lin just let one person go because she wanted to see where they came from. The person who escaped should have fled back to the Barren Cave.
"Where?"
"If you want to go, I can take you, but what are you going to do in a place like this?"
She looked at the white-haired boy, "What about you? Who are you?"
"Oh, you finally asked me. Don't be anxious, we can talk while we walk. I am..." The two of them headed west.
From his words, Ye Lin understood the power of this continent. Resources are scarce and survival is difficult here. Those without ability can only survive in places like barren caves and go hungry. Those with ability are divided into several camps, each occupying their own territory and enjoying better resource conditions.
"Okay, we're here. It's right in front. I won't go in. You go by yourself." The white-haired man showed a look of disgust.
Ye Lin walked in and could feel the sufferings of the world just from a distance.
Men and women, emaciated to the point of being just bones, lay on the muddy, dirty, and smelly ground, their faces haggard and lifeless. Most of the people here were waiting to die.
Ye Lin walked in but no one reacted. There were even half-grown children inside. A hungry little girl nestled in her mother's arms, staring at her with her large, cloudy, yellow eyes.
She squatted down, and they looked at each other from the heart. Ye Lin stretched out her fist to give her something, and the little girl stretched out her hand.
Ye Lin placed a handful of grain seeds that she had developed, which had extremely strong vitality and would sprout when they landed on the ground, in her hand and gently touched her head.
She stood up and walked out without even looking at him.
The white-haired man was outside, yawning and smacking his lips, bored. Seeing Ye Lin coming out, he followed her and asked, "What took you so long?"
She ignored him and walked out, "Why are you still here?"
"I'm waiting for you. Where are you going? There's no place to stay here, and there's no need for currency."
Ye Lin paused, and the white-haired man walked up to her. "You'll have to stay here for a while, and even if you want to leave, you'll have to find a way out. Why don't you stay in our Chimo Sect for the time being? It will be more convenient for you to do whatever you want."
She remained silent. "You are the famous Y. We really want to win you over. Please consider it."
Ye Lin found the boy quite attractive and said, "Lead the way."
"Okay." The boy thought to himself that the mission was accomplished.
"Let me ask you a question."
"ask."
"Are you deliberately wearing such cool eyes to maintain your image?"
Ye Lin suddenly felt a little regretful about this decision.
The two of them came to the Chimo Sect, "Look, this is our Chimo Sect, what do you think? I'll show you around."
A girl came towards them, and the white-haired man waved, "Mo Ping."
"metropolitan."
"This is Mo Ping, the most powerful divine doctor in our Chimo Sect and even in the entire territory."
Mo Ping has a gentle temperament and an unremarkable appearance, but she is also a symbol.
The white-haired man explained to Mo Ping using the local language, and Ye Lin found that she could understand it. This was ancient Rossi.
After Mo Ping understood, she greeted her and showed her friendliness.
The white-haired man continued to introduce her, and after settling her down, he went to see the old man.
"I brought the person back, why don't you go and see him?"
The old man pretended to be asleep and ignored him. The white-haired man looked at him, drunk as he was, and said, "You only know how to drink so much every day. I'll leave first."
The boy closed the door and went out. The old man opened his eyes and took another sip of wine.
During this time, Ye Lin quickly adapted to and mastered everything here, and the ancient Rossi language was awakened as if it was something engraved in her bones.
She runs her own account named "Y" on 'ars', which has created a huge impact.
She has published articles on the recycling of water and other materials, some design drawings of weapons, and the improvement of physiological functions.
Ye Lin browsed through the information about jade pendants here. Jade is a very scarce resource here, and the original owner of her jade pendant must be a person of extraordinary status.
