"This place seems to be very evil. Have you heard of the Seven Pearls?" Bai Di, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Seven pearls? Aren't there more than that? No, you mean the seven chosen from the thirty-two stars?" Nan Song interrupted.
"Really? Wouldn't that be a forbidden area? Oh my God, we didn't just happen to arrive at that planet, without even reaching that small town, and directly reaching the destination?" Ma Tuan didn't know whether their luck was good or bad.
Night enveloped the earth, and the once round moon in the sky was shattered into countless fragments, like the eyes of a monster, cold and numb, staring at the world below without emotion. These fragments scattered in the darkness, flickering faintly, giving people an eerie and mysterious feeling.
However, when Ma Tuan suddenly looked up and began to examine the fragments more closely, he unexpectedly discovered that they seemed to be connected. Their shapes and positions echoed each other, as if telling a story. Over time, the fragments gradually connected, forming an intertwined pattern, like a beautiful scroll unfolding in the sky.
In this image, fragments of the moon intertwine to form a vast vortex, seemingly swallowing the entire world. At its center, a bright spot gleams like a dazzling pearl, bringing a glimmer of hope and warmth. Surrounding the vortex are tiny fragments, like tentacles, constantly expanding and contracting, as if exploring an unknown world.
This lingering pattern reminded Ma Tuan of the ups and downs of life, just like the waxing and waning of the moon.
"Stop being dazed, or you'll be dead." Nansong was speechless when he saw Ma Tuan looking up at the sky and stopping.
"Nansong, take a look too. You'll know what I'm looking at once." Ma Tuan came back to his senses and said with a grin.
The blue-gray stone slabs, carved with intricate and eerie patterns, stretched out as far as the eye could see, seemingly endlessly. The fog had long since dissipated, but there was still no visible building anywhere. All around was emptiness, only endless darkness and silence. But not far ahead, something seemed to float in the air, indistinct and indistinct, making one want to investigate.
"I heard there's a show every year on the Qilian River! I really want to join in!" Just then, an ethereal, chilling voice suddenly drifted over without warning, circling around the ears of Ma Tuan and the other two like a ghost before drifting off into the distance. The voice wasn't loud, but in the empty, silent surroundings, it was remarkably clear, almost piercing.
The sound was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, exploding right beside the ears of Nan Song and the other two. Nan Song's face changed instantly, and his body shook involuntarily.
But soon, Nansong and Matuan made eye contact and looked around furtively. However, they could see nothing except darkness and endless blue-gray stone slabs.
"There are so many of them this year. How strange! What are they all doing? Look, there are three of them over there, but they don't seem to know where to go. Do you need any help?" Another ethereal, elegant voice soon echoed, tinged with curiosity and joy. This voice also came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location. It seemed to be deeply interested in Nansong and the other two, its tone revealing an indescribable excitement.
"Never mind, let's go quickly. Maybe we will be chosen this year." The other voice obviously didn't want to meddle in other people's business. After perfunctorily answering the other voice a few times, it wanted to leave quickly.
"Okay, but why are you in such a hurry? It's useless. If we are lucky enough, we will be selected no matter how late we go." Another voice seemed dissatisfied with the perfunctory attitude of the other voice, and its tone became a little aggressive.
"Hey, what are you two arguing about? Let's go. Is it worth it to quarrel over something insignificant that may become the lowest creature at any time?" A voice interrupted with a giggle. Just listening to it made people feel numb. However, the other two voices fell into a strange silence after hearing this voice, and the whole space became silent all of a sudden.
"Well...how should I put it? This year is very different. Something big is bound to happen. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to leave quickly." The extremely charming voice became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared all of a sudden.
Above, unseen by Nansong and the other two, a gray mist swirled, dancing lightly like a gossamer veil. Within this hazy haze, two strange figures suddenly emerged. They were clad in gorgeous attire, as if they had stepped from a dream. Diyue flowers blossomed directly upon their skulls, their petals radiant and luminous, like sparkling pearls. Vines entwined their clothing, seemingly merging with them, creating a mysterious and captivating scene.
However, once the three of them saw their heads, their impressions might have changed immediately. Their clothing shone with a strange sheen, dazzlingly bright yet carrying a hint of blood. The color was as if blood were dripping, evoking the image of bright red blood. The texture of the clothing seemed incredibly strange, as if it could be torn apart by the slightest touch, like the most delicate skin, delicate and breakable.
Instead of a delicate face, the neck held a skull, its hollow eye sockets gleaming with an eerie light. The skull was covered in blooming moonflowers, their vibrant colors dazzling, their red vermilion almost blinding. Furthermore, the skull's interior seemed to contain a blood-red substance, sticky and ominous. The two figures, like messengers from hell, exuded a sinister and terrifying aura.
