Chapter 36 Something is wrong
He Qing sat in a chair, turned on the screen and talked to his tutor.
[The general seems to have misunderstood me as Enigma. ]
[Have you not seen other Enigmas in the Empire? They all look like monsters and specialize in seducing Alphas.] Qiao Yi quickly replied, [Actually, Duan Chenhui is the exception.]
He Qing was silent for a moment: [Teacher, you said I looked like a demon.]
[Aren’t you a goblin?] He Qing didn’t answer him again. Qiao Yi got back on track and left happily.
He Qing turned off the screen, and after a while he saw Duan Chenhui coming out. Duan Chenhui wiped his hair and said, "It's your turn."
"Hmm." He Qing walked into the bathroom and suddenly smelled a faint pheromone. Is Duan Chenhui in his susceptible period again? He took a shower and went out to look at Duan Chenhui sitting on the balcony.
Duan Chenhui lowered his head slightly and just put away the needle: "Sorry, I can't seem to control myself."
"It's okay." He Qing sat on the chair on the other side. Duan Chenhui could be considered an older Enigma, but it was no wonder that he didn't have his own partner. He looked at the sunset in front of him. The sunset seemed to be the same wherever it was.
Duan Chenhui put away the syringe and remained silent. He Qing suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. After a while, he finally stood up and said, "I'm going to rest for a while."
He walked back. There were two beds. He chose one, climbed onto it and lay down, putting his hands on his abdomen and closing his eyes. After a while, he heard Duan Chenhui's footsteps coming back and walking to his bed.
He Qing's eyelids almost jumped, but he tried to control himself. He didn't know what Duan Chenhui was looking at, but it felt a little scary...
Fortunately, Duan Chenhui went out again after a while, and he was not woken up by Duan Chenhui until dinner time.
He Qing observed Duan Chenhui while eating.
Duan Chenhui noticed his suspicious gaze: "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." He Qing lowered his head and continued to eat. After finishing his meal and washing up, he climbed onto the bed and continued to meditate. The next day, he followed Duan Chenhui and others out and inquired for information.
Three days later, they finally reunited with Black Shark and his men. He Qing took a look and found that Black Shark had indeed found a lot of people to form a team, which might be a team for "sacrifice".
Tang Ke looked at them with a smile: "You can just follow us in the spaceship. Let's exchange communication numbers first."
Everyone looked at each other and decided that it was safer to fly their own spaceship, so they exchanged communication numbers and returned to their own spaceships.
A few days later, they arrived at the planet. After getting off the spaceship, Tang Ke squinted at the woods in front of him and said, "We have to go in from here. There is a cave entrance in the center of the forest. That is our destination.
"It looks normal." Someone took a step forward, and suddenly the whole forest seemed to tremble, and all kinds of shouts came from it.
“……”The man silently withdrew his foot.
Black Shark smiled and said, "Yes, there are strange beasts inside. Everyone should be careful. Let's go." Black Shark took the lead to lead the team forward.
He Qing looked up at the sky, which was surrounded by spiritual energy.
Sun Tu whispered: [It seems to be a secret place inside. ]
[I can tell.] He Qing frowned, [Could there be any demon cultivators inside?]
[Not sure... maybe?] Sun Tu was a little gloating, [But you are pretty unlucky.]
"Let's go too." Duan Chenhui also spoke, and Yang Fan and the others followed him.
He Qing followed him, and as soon as they entered the forest, they entered another space. The demonic energy was particularly obvious. Duan Chenhui looked back and seemed a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yi asked.
"It's okay, it might be my illusion." Duan Chenhui took out a laser gun, and the others also took out their guns and were on guard. After walking for a while, there were more and more strange chirping sounds above their heads.
He Qing looked up and saw that they had been surrounded by magical beasts that looked like miniature pterosaurs without realizing it.
The black shark walking in front lowered his voice and said, "Don't attack, let's walk slowly."
The little monster on the tree stared at them motionlessly. He Qing slowed down and looked down at the ground. The ground was covered with messy weeds and fallen leaves. Suddenly, someone in front seemed to step on something, and that thing made a "chi" sound.
"Fuck! Did you step on something?!"
At this moment, the monster in the tree suddenly spread its wings and screamed and pounced on them to attack them.
"Run! We'll be safe once we get past here!"
Everyone ran forward while shooting at the monsters: "Fuck! How did the person in front of us step on it!"
"I think they did it on purpose!" someone retorted.
"Stop talking and run."
The monsters came in densely and fiercely, and the laser guns fired continuously. The monsters fell to the ground with thuds. He Qing stepped on the monsters on the ground with empty hands and moved forward. Someone found him and asked, "Where is your gun?"
"I don't have a gun." He Qing smiled, "I attack with magic."
"Huh?" The man was stunned. A magical beast flew in front of him and he had no time to care about He Qing.
Duan Chenhui threw a gun to He Qing: "Can you do it?"
"It should be possible." He Qing weighed the gun. At this moment, the surrounding monsters suddenly disappeared, and they crossed into another space.
He Qing was stunned and looked around, but everyone had disappeared.
He Qing looked around and saw that the plants had changed from tall trees to bamboos. He continued walking forward and saw a lake in front of him.
There is a stone pillar in the center of the lake, on which sits a monk with white hair and beard, cross-legged.
"Senior." He Qing stepped forward and greeted him.
"Someone broke in again." The old man opened his eyes and looked down at him, "If you want herbs, take the road on the right, if you want spirit stones, take the road on the left."
"Why are you here, senior?" He Qing asked after taking a look at the lake. He saw some black air floating on the surface of the lake and strange faces floating under the water. "I wonder if I can help you, senior?"
The old man said calmly without changing his expression: "I haven't seen a Buddhist practitioner for many years."
He Qing found a stone by the lake and sat down, then asked again, "I hope I can help you, senior."
The old man was silent for a moment: "I want to purify the things in the lake."
"I'll stay too."
"Your teammates are looking for you."
Suddenly a water mirror appeared in front of him. He Qing looked over and saw Duan Chenhui and the others were still in the forest, looking for him.
"Where on earth did Mr. He go?"
"I don't know. It disappeared in the blink of an eye. Captain, do you want to go look for it?"
Duan Chenhui frowned. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Keep the team together. He should be fine."
"yes."
He Qing glanced at Duan Chenhui. Glad that Duan Chenhui and the others were okay. They didn’t enter this space either.
He Qing closed his eyes and recited scriptures. Golden runes came out of his mouth and circled the entire Black Lake.
The old man looked at him and closed his eyes and chanted, and the golden spell slowly fell into the black lake.
He Qing was concentrating on praying for the souls in the lake to be reborn. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly heard the voices of Duan Chenhui and others coming from the water mirror.
"Captain, it's been half a month. We should go back."
He Qing didn't open his eyes, but his eyelids were twitching. The old man suddenly said, "You can leave. The time here is different from the outside."
"I won't leave until the purification is completed." He Qing suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Duan Chenhui, and smashed the water mirror.
The old man said nothing more.
He Qing took a deep breath and continued to concentrate on dealing with the matter at hand. The scriptures of the two had already formed half of a formation on the lake. They only needed to complete the formation halfway, so they couldn't let it go to waste.
An unknown amount of time had passed before the formation was finally completed. He Qing stood up and activated the purification formation. Suddenly, golden light shone brightly in the lake, and the black water gradually turned transparent.
Suddenly, the old man sitting on the stone pillar floated down and came to him: "It has been a hundred years now. According to the human lifespan, your teammates are no longer here."
He Qing was slightly stunned. He thought for a while before saying, "The first half of the formation only took half a month. Senior, please don't lie to me."
The old man smiled and shook his head, touching his white hair: "I didn't lie to you, it's just that you have your own ideas."
He Qing was silent.
The old man walked back as he spoke, and then both he and the lake disappeared.
His voice sounded slowly: "Oh, right, there are herbs on the left and spiritual stones on the right. Choose one way to leave."
He Qing quickly asked: "Excuse me, what is your name, senior?"
"Don't worry about the name."
He Qing stood up and looked towards the path of medicinal herbs. If he had chosen him from the beginning, he would have taken the wrong path... and he still said that he had not lied to him.
He Qing pursed his lips and chose the herb route. He received the herbs, a letter and a book in a room.
[This is a secret book of alchemy that I created myself, and I am giving it to someone who is destined to receive it. ]
He Qing looked around, but there was no one famous. He didn't know the realm of the nameless cultivator, nor did he know his name.
He Qing put the book down again, knelt down to toast, and acknowledged the other party as his master. Then he took the book and herbs and left.
As soon as he walked out of the house and returned to the forest, he hurriedly looked at the time on the terminal. Only half a month had passed. He Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but he really didn't know how long he had stayed in that space.
He Qing walked and hesitated as he clicked on Duan Chenhui's message board. Duan Chenhui did not bombard the screen with messages. He restrainedly wrote a line of words: [When will you come back? ]
He Qing looked at this line of words and suddenly didn't know how to reply. He thought for a long time before replying: [Prepare to come back now. ]
Duan Chenhui replied almost immediately: [Well, come find me when you come back, I will discuss something with you.]
[Okay.] He Qing's heart tightened, not knowing what Duan Chenhui wanted to discuss with him. He walked out of the forest and immediately boarded the spaceship to go back. During this time, he finished reading the secret book. He Qing calculated with his fingers that he now had the herbs to give Duan Chenhui some preliminary treatment.
However, Duan Chenhui still did not send any message. He Qing held the terminal and thought about it, and finally found Qiao Yi.
Qiao Yi was very long-winded, almost bombarding me with information.
[Where on earth have you been? Duan Chenhui's face turned dark. ]
[That Black Shark really has bad intentions! Although there are energy stones in that cave, there are also Zerg! He wants to use us to sacrifice to the gods, but fortunately we don't believe them. ]
[We have found the stone. You haven't come back yet? Then we are leaving.]
[Duan Chenhui was unhappy for some reason, and he killed Black Shark and the others when he returned. Oh, it's too tragic. I'm going to run away first... Remember to find me when you come back.]
He Qing thought that this was his normal reaction as a normal person, and Duan Chenhui's message was too calm.
He was silent for a long time, and replied to Qiao Yi: [Teacher, I am coming back.]
[No, no, no! You'd better not come back! ]
He Qing: [Why?]
After He Qing asked, Qiao Yi did not reply to the message. He Qing felt inexplicably nervous, wondering if Qiao Yi was caught by Duan Chenhui.
