Chapter 168
Three days passed in a flash.
The metal door opened with a dull thud.
Lin Qingyang, who was waiting at the door, suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight towards the door.
The door slowly opened, but he did not see Cheng Hui.
Lin Qingyang was shocked, thinking that an accident had happened, and immediately stood up to go in and look for someone.
At this moment, the metal door suddenly made a sharp creaking sound. Lin Qingyang opened his eyes wide and saw that the door, which was only wide enough for one person, was pushed open little by little.
"Huh! I'm so tired!" A tall figure squeezed out from inside and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Ah Hui?" Hearing the familiar tone, Lin Qingyang screamed and almost couldn't help rubbing his eyes with his hands.
It’s not that Lin Qingyang lost his temper, it’s really...he couldn’t recognize Ah Hui in front of him.
A very tall figure walked out of the metal door, estimated to be more than two meters tall. He was also broad and fat, and his whole body was as round as a ball. At first glance, it was impossible to tell that it was Cheng Hui.
If the voice wasn't familiar enough, Lin Qingyang would have been a little hesitant to recognize it.
"How did you become like this?" Lin Qingyang asked tremblingly, looking at Cheng Hui, who was like a ball.
"Hey, it's okay, I just ate too much." Cheng Hui waved his hand nonchalantly, his five open fingers like a long, rootless sausage, which made Lin Qingyang's eyes twitch.
He rubbed his forehead hard, trying to calm himself down.
Cheng Hui also realized that his image at this moment was too shocking, and shook his head in distress.
He took a deep breath and his balloon-like body deflated immediately, quickly returning to its normal shape.
"Will it look better this way?" Although Cheng Hui felt that men should not care so much about their appearance, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he saw Lin Qingyang was greatly stimulated by his appearance. He could only try his best to maintain his current body shape.
In fact, the reason why he turned into a sphere was mainly because of the change in his physique. The spiritual energy stored in his body was released all at once, and he was unable to absorb it back for a while, so it floated on the surface.
He could certainly maintain his current body shape, but if he did so, the spiritual energy would be sealed in his meridians, causing swelling and pain in his meridians from time to time, and the absorption would also take longer.
"What are you thinking!" Lin Qingyang watched Cheng Hui return to his original state speechlessly, and patted him lightly: "Is it a question of whether it looks good or not? There must be a reason for such a big change in your body shape. I'm just worried about whether your body will be damaged."
After saying that, he pinched Cheng Hui's fingers and said with a little annoyance: "Do you think I am such a person who cares about appearance?! Is it harmful to your body to become like this? Hurry up and change back. I don't care about your appearance at all."
Cheng Hui blinked, chuckled twice, and his body became rounder like a balloon again. Since Lin Qingyang didn't mind, he didn't bother to put in the effort. Besides...maintaining that body shape would actually affect his strength. Even though he would become fat, it wouldn't take long for him to absorb all the spiritual energy back.
As the two were talking, the surrounding environment suddenly became blurry.
Lin Qingyang immediately blocked Cheng Hui behind him. The light and shadow around him changed, but no one attacked him. When all the scenery became clear again, Cheng Hui found that the two people actually appeared outside the city wall.
The three days were up, and they had no plans to stay any longer, but they didn't expect the city lord to directly activate the formation and send the two of them out.
This is good. By using the formation to move, they can also get rid of some tails at the same time, which saves them a lot of trouble.
The two of them quickly left Luowu City. Cheng Hui figured out the direction and headed towards the place Uncle Gui had told him about before.
Uncle Gui has calculated that in a few days, there will be a passage leading to the Xuanheng Realm, a passage for the Yin soldiers.
Just like when they came, they can return to Xuanheng Realm through that passage.
Calculating the time, Lin Qingyang has been away from Xuanheng Realm for eleven years. When he left, he was taken away by Cheng Hui, and there was no news since he left. I don’t know if the eldest brother is still guarding the mine. Uh... it is also possible that he was beaten on the head by the master?
Well... probably not the latter.
Wuyouzi was still stationed in the small world, and it would be impossible for him to step down for another twenty or thirty years, so there was a high probability that he had no idea that his young disciple had disappeared. It was hard for the eldest brother, who was somewhat frightened. Even if the soul lamps in the sect could prove that the person was still alive, the monks were always surrounded by dangers when they went out to train. Being alive did not mean that they were truly safe. It was just a psychological comfort at best.
The two men moved quickly. Cheng Hui's ball-like body was just a manifestation of the overflow of spiritual energy and did not have much impact on him.
After quickly flying away from Luowu City, a shocking loud noise was heard in Luowu City.
A layer of faint blue light appeared on the periphery of the entire Luowu City, and there was a constant flash of light on it. It turned out that the Luowu City's formation was under attack.
"What's going on?"
"Why is the formation activated? Is someone coming to attack Luowu City?"
"No, look, what is that?"
In the western part of Luowu City, thick white fog rose up, and then the ground collapsed. Fortunately, the people living here were ghosts, most of whom had no physical form. They crawled out of the shattered ruins with lingering fear and left the city quickly.
Soon, the great changes in Xicheng District attracted a large number of ghosts. They surrounded the white fog and did not dare to get close for a while, but soon, a strong fragrance wafted from the white fog, and all the ghosts who smelled the fragrance immediately became more energetic.
nice one!
All the ghosts' eyes lit up.
The mere scent of something could make them so excited, which showed how extraordinary the thing that emitted the scent was.
After a while, a ghost bravely walked in, and the people around also walked into the white fog one after another.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and even ghosts understand this.
They didn't know what dangers were hidden in the white fog, but for the treasure, they were willing to give it a try.
Just as people in the city were entering the white fog to search for treasure, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang also encountered trouble.
They were just on their way, but when they came across a forest, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the direction of Luowu City behind them.
Both of them looked back curiously, but had no intention of returning.
The location of the underground palace has been sold, and no matter what happens there, it has nothing to do with the two of them. They now just want to find the location where the passage may appear as soon as possible.
But no one expected that when the two of them just looked back, the woods behind them suddenly changed.
A huge crack appeared silently on the ground, and it was getting bigger and bigger. The strangest thing was that although the ground was cracking so loudly, there was no sound at all.
Soon, the trees on the outermost edge of the forest fell into the crack, and the sound they heard startled Cheng Hui and the others.
When they turned around, they saw a huge crack in front of them. The ground beneath their feet collapsed into a large amount of rubble, like quicksand, enveloping the two of them and falling into the crack.
"How could this be..." Cheng Hui was shocked, and his body continued to fall.
He was shocked to find that he suddenly couldn't circulate his spiritual power. Lin Qingyang grabbed Cheng Hui's shoulders, and then the two fell into the crack together.
Cheng Hui/Lin Qingyang: ...
Bang!
With a dull thud, Lin Qingyang and Cheng Hui fell to the ground.
At the moment of falling, Cheng Hui used his limbs to hug Lin Qingyang tightly to his chest, and then his spherical body slammed heavily to the ground.
"Ahui!" Lin Qingyang suddenly got out of his arms and looked at him nervously.
"It's okay..." Cheng Hui shook his dizzy head and sat up.
The round body acted as a good cushion. Although the fall was a bit painful, Cheng Hui took a quick check and found that it was not a big problem.
"Is this a pleasant surprise..." Cheng Hui touched his head and smiled foolishly.
Lin Qingyang glared at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Don't do that next time, what if you get hurt?"
Cheng Hui thought to himself: Even if this round body cannot provide cushioning, my zombie body is definitely stronger than an ordinary person like you. No matter how you think about it, it would be safer if I were to cushion you underneath.
"Okay, okay, I won't do that next time." Cheng Hui said perfunctorily and insincerely.
Lin Qingyang was speechless. Although he had made a promise, he could clearly see two lines of words on Cheng Hui's face. On the left was written: "I know I was wrong"; on the right was written: "I will dare to do it again next time."
Lin Qingyang: ...
I know in my heart that Cheng Hui is trying to protect me, but... forget it. He really needs to become stronger as soon as possible. As long as he becomes stronger, he won't have to be afraid even if he encounters danger in the future.
"What is this place?" Cheng Hui's mind became clearer and he began to look around.
There were large areas of ruins all around, and dust that had accumulated on the ground for who knows how many years was flying all over the sky due to the falling of a large amount of debris, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
Cheng Hui looked up and could only see a thin strip of light. He squinted his eyes. They must have fallen from there.
“Squeak…”
A mouse ran past the two of them.
Cheng Hui looked in the direction of the sound and it was obvious that there were not only the two of them but also a large number of wild animals living in the woods.
This forest is not far from Luowu City and is not very large. Most of the creatures living in it are ordinary wild beasts, and there are no traces of magical beasts.
Most of the huge wild animals had fallen to their deaths, but the smaller mice and rabbits, who had clung to the big trees, were lucky enough to survive.
"Let's go. I don't feel good about this place." Lin Qingyang watched the mouse disappear into the darkness, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart.
Cheng Hui responded, got up from the ground, looked around, and said with some distress: "I don't know how to get out."
He tried to circulate his spiritual power and was surprised to find that it could be used.
But when he tried to fly, he suddenly froze. When he was about ten feet above the ground, he suddenly felt a heavy sense of oppression above him, as if something extremely dangerous would happen if he dared to continue to rise.
Cheng Hui landed obediently. Although he couldn't fly out immediately, the fact that he could circulate his spiritual power made him feel much more at ease.
At least he has spiritual power, so if he really encounters any danger, he will not be completely powerless to resist.
"This seems to be an ancient city."
When Cheng Hui tried to fly, Lin Qingyang had already observed the nearby wreckage and came to this conclusion.
But this conclusion did not provide much practical help to the two. If they wanted to get out, they had to go deep into the ancient city to find a way out.
