“…like the white one?”
Erni stared closely at the slight change in the distance:
The complex and dense geometric shapes still contained brilliant and bright colors. However, deep in the overlapping colors, a touch of white emerged and gradually spread in all directions.
……
Shalan’s expression changed in an instant – as fast as if he had installed a module that could switch his facial features – his red cheeks, his eyes that were about to pop out of their sockets; everything declared his fear and shock.
“Baimin! There are Baimin!”
As Shalan roared—
“Full speed ahead!”
The leader’s voice came from the front of the convoy in response.
With this command, the convoy seemed to suddenly come alive. The exploration team members who were originally sitting in the carriages sorting out their equipment climbed out of the windows one after another and jumped onto the backs of the fairy beasts:
squeak – squeak – squeak –
With the sound of injections one after another, the pills were injected into the immortal beasts’ venous arteries; there was no time to adjust them in a gentler way, as their full speed needed to be stimulated at this moment.
……
“Are there any other visions?”
The team leader climbed over the roofs of the carriages and came to Shalan and Erni. His movements were more agile than those of a monkey.
Shalan threw away the syringe that had been used to inject the pill and pulled out the next one:
“Only Baimin! But at this hour, it shouldn’t happen—”
call!
Erni suddenly jumped up from her iron horse, drawing sharp lines on the exploration team’s carriage and the back of the fairy beast. With strong pedaling, she jumped across the convoy that stretched for nearly a hundred meters.
boom!
In a split second, Erni was slammed back onto the iron horse: the impact caused the high-speed mount to sway and shake, and even the front and rear of the vehicle alternated in a spiral trajectory. But soon, it was adjusted by the gyroscope and restored its balance:
“I saw what he did.”
The hydraulic structure of the Jade Bamboo shoot made a noise, lifted the man who was being strangled by the back of the neck, and pushed him fiercely in front of the two people.
“He was at the back of the convoy… I don’t know what he did, it was so out of character – and then the white one came out.”
The man’s skull from the left temple up had been blown off, and the surrounding skin was covered with charred burn marks: the upper half of his face was also taken away by the explosion.
Half a piece of brain tissue hung like pudding on the crack of the facial bones, and components deep in the head were flickering with cold light – it was obvious that there was no sign of life.
Erni shrugged:
“I don’t know how the man died. I didn’t kill him.”
In the man’s hands, which were clasped in front of him, the raging flames were still burning – even after death, the man’s hands were still forming seals. Fragments of yellow paper were embedded in the carbonized flesh and blood that was exposed when the skin was burned –
“Who is this? Is this someone from my family?”
Shalan didn’t bother to continue injecting elixirs into the fairy beast under her, trying to find some recognizable features in the bloody mess.
Although the exploration team sent by the barbarians was not very large, they did not have uniform clothing, and their faces were destroyed, making it difficult to distinguish them at first glance.
The leader picked up the modified long pole that extended from the center of his palm and picked up the yellow paper fragment on the half-burnt corpse’s arm that was not engulfed by the flames:
“He used the ‘talisman’, otherwise he wouldn’t have burned so quickly. No wonder Bai Min woke up at this time!”
As the leader spoke, he reached out to take the corpse:
“No, we need to see what kind of talisman is used——”
call!
The charred corpse swayed slightly and dodged the hands that leader A stretched out:
“That means there is something fishy.”
Erni raised her eyebrows, and pulled the body back from the two men’s faces like a rag doll, and put it on the back seat of the motorcycle. The tip of the jade shoot quickly began to bend back with the elbow, and opened; one silver-gray rope after another popped out from the exposed gap, separated, and tied the body that smelled of barbecue tightly and fixed it on the motorcycle:
“I’ll take care of this dead man.”
The leader and Shalan wanted to say something, but were interrupted by the sound of Erni’s long sword being unsheathed:
“Stop talking nonsense! What should we do now? The thing behind us is just… Let me see, it will come into contact in a minute at most.”
The white tide is coming closer:
It no longer looked like a pale fog, through which one could make out some geometric sharp corners in the dead city – as if the actual white had covered everything not far away; gradually, the boundaries between the geometric bodies also blurred and were filled with pure white.
Until between heaven and earth, there was only a high white wall approaching from the back; it extended to the extreme of the zenith and also to the end of the horizon.
……
“Speed up! Faster!”
“We’ll be there soon!”
The orifices on the fairy beast’s face spewed out columns of hot air, and it made a loud roar and accelerated forward – but it seemed that it had never closed the distance between itself and the white tide far behind it.
Erni stood up on the iron horse. She saw the “shelter” that the leader A was pointing at in a roar:
It was a huge, perfectly circular tiankeng.
The strange thing was that it seemed to have always been there – in front of the convoy. But Erni had never noticed its existence in her previous observations.
“Go down, go down!”
Veins sprouted from the leader’s neck like earthworms, running all the way to his upper and lower jaws. The exploration team members were all strong men from the barbarian tribe: no one screamed or wailed in fear, and they only quickly unhooked the hook connecting the fairy beast to the carriage to reduce the weight.
“No more camping! We can only go straight to the underworld!”
Unlike its ominous nickname: the boundless pit in front of the crowd was emitting warm orange and dark red light, and the light color was changing with every blink of an eye – as if there was an open-air disco covering thousands of square meters but without even a trace of music lying below.
The white wave was still trailing behind them, but it was just an illusion. At the end of the convoy, the barbarians and immortal beasts had been silently submerged. Moreover, they were about to swallow up the next wave.
“Come up!”
Erni’s arms, which were holding onto the handlebars, were knotted with muscles and blood vessels bulging. The tip of her jade shoot suddenly stretched out, flying past the fairy beasts one by one, and wrapping around the waists of the last few barbarians.
Then tighten it up!
The front of the iron horse suddenly tilted up – and among the exploration team members who were hooked by the jade shoots, some of them spurted out blood because they could not bear the pressure in their chest and abdomen – and then they continued to speed away amid the roar of tires and engines.
Just like flying a kite, Erni’s prosthetic arm wrapped around six or seven wild people at the back of the convoy and dragged them to the back and top of the iron horses – although she had not figured out how to get these people to the ground alive and well.
“Hell” is right before your eyes.
The leader stood up from the fairy beast’s back and fiercely smashed the gong on his chest with the back of his fist:
“Just jump, just jump! You can survive!”
Shalan also shouted loudly, repeating the leader’s instructions:
“Let’s go down together! Let’s go down together!”
The immortal beasts were like mountain goats clinging to the mountain walls, carrying the barbarians on their backs and leaping into the deep pit without hesitation:
“Low…Low…”
Erni looked at the deep pit called “the underworld” that was emitting brilliant light, and the wild men who jumped into it one after another, and she almost gritted her teeth.
“Mother Gan Lin! Charge!”
She twisted the accelerator sharply.
