Chapter 188 Barrier Forbidden Zone
Chapter 188 Barrier Forbidden Zone
Ling Yunxiao looked at Wang Mian with excitement in his eyes, and Wang Mian's expression also became serious.
Such anchor points are completely inconspicuous if they are not activated normally.
But how could the Outer God of Cthulhu dare to attract the two of them?
"They are highly intelligent; without absolute confidence, it would be impossible for us to find the anchor point. Cloudy, this place is indeed very dangerous; we must be careful."
However, now that you've confirmed this place is still on Earth, can't we break the barrier here at any time?
"That's true, but what if all of this is just a ruse to mislead us into taking action?"
I trust Zhong Kui's and the Judge's Pen's intuition, so it's best if we don't act rashly.
As Ling Yunxiao spoke, he withdrew his Wu Clan bloodline ability and casually glanced at the Book of Life and Death to see his gains. He found that after deducting the cost of the battle, he still had more than a million Reincarnation Lands in his account. He was even more confused. Was this all the reward for the polluted residents of a small town?
The two walked into the tavern with heavy hearts and casually found a comfortable table and chairs to rest.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the sun rose as usual, casting a bright and warm glow into the town.
The two wandered around the town for a day and found that it was no different from the day before. They even started recording what everyone in the town had said, hoping to come back the next day to compare and see if there were any differences.
As night fell, the two stood quietly at the entrance of the tavern, waiting.
"Hiss..."
"Hooho..."
Countless bizarre and mysterious creatures reappeared, their appearances somewhat different from those seen the previous night. However, the differences were not significant; had neither of them possessed particularly strong combat instincts, they certainly wouldn't have noticed them at all.
Only when the fiery red lotus bloomed did Wang Mian raise his eyes to look at Ling Yunxiao.
"Some of them have more eyes, and some have fewer tentacles. They look roughly the same as yesterday's, as if they are the same batch of monsters, just in different forms at different times."
"They still possess offensive capabilities, and I offer a reward. Could it be that the strange phenomena here, like yours, can traverse time without exhibiting temporal paradoxes?"
The two couldn't think of any other explanation for the time being, so they could only walk back to the tavern with no other choice.
Another day passed, and the two began to listen carefully to what everyone had to say.
After they took out the translator, they were somewhat disappointed to find that most of the languages spoken by the residents were displayed as gibberish on the translator's screen, making it impossible for them to understand what the people were saying.
Fortunately, some languages can still be translated into fragments.
"Based on what they're saying so far, this is indeed the town of Innsmouth, and the residents are preparing for the next prayer."
"A prayer to resurrect Cthulhu? How do the people here know about the Cthulhu Outer Gods?"
"It's mostly just a coincidence that what they were praying for matched Cthulhu. The world is a big place, and there are all sorts of strange things. There are always some superstitious ideas that are very special and bizarre."
The two sighed. The clues here were really limited, and they could only rely on time to slowly find their way out.
Soon, a month passed quietly. The two spent their days collecting language and their nights killing monsters, which made their lives quite fulfilling.
"Tomorrow is the day the residents here pray for resurrection; hopefully, there will be some other gains!"
Wang Mian sighed. He had a feeling that he had relied too much on the River of Time and had been tricked. The layout of this place didn't seem like an easy way to leave!
"Captain, how about we try a different approach and see where the boundary is here?"
After a month of fruitless efforts, Ling Yunxiao grew impatient. He sighed and looked around at everything.
“Okay, you go to the sky, I’ll go to the sea! Let’s find the boundary here first.”
Wang Mian naturally wouldn't refuse; as soon as he finished speaking, he was already flying away.
Ling Yunxiao looked up at the sky, and the next second he took to the air with his axe. He didn't have the ability to fly, but it wasn't difficult for Chi You to take to the air.
After leaping into the void, Ling Yunxiao discovered that there were actually two suns in the sky.
He leaped up again, only to be suddenly stopped by an invisible wall.
In this place, he could see clearly that the two suns were just a pair of clear eyes. These eyes, clear yet tinged with a hint of confusion, were like those of an innocent and naive person.
Ling Yunxiao was certain he had never seen anyone with those eyes before. Even though they looked harmless, Ling Yunxiao still felt a sense of dread from them. He slowly landed back where he was. Then, Ling Yunxiao turned and ran wildly towards the town's exit.
"Boom..."
Ling Yunxiao bumped into another invisible wall. He stopped in surprise. If this place was completely sealed off by an invisible wall, was it possible that he and the captain were actually trapped inside a glass dome, where those on the outside could see everything inside, but those on the inside couldn't see the outside world?
"There are invisible walls on the surface and seabed of the clouds. The walls give me the feeling that I could break through them if I tried. This place is too eerie."
It's all my fault. I trusted the passage of time too much. We may have been completely outmaneuvered.
I need to travel back in time and stop us from entering this town.
As Wang Mian spoke, his figure became ethereal. Ling Yunxiao tried to stop him, but it was too late.
After a long while, Wang Mian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed in front of Ling Yunxiao, his face pale.
"team leader."
Ling Yunxiao quickly helped him up, gave him healing and exorcising effects, and then gently patted his shoulder.
"Yunxiao, I'm sorry, there's a time maze here. Within the river of time, everything flows backward, and I simply can't go back to the past smoothly. It's all my fault; I was too confident."
After Wang Mian's complexion returned to normal, he stood up with a pained expression. Since Ling Yunxiao and he had been tricked and trapped here, Great Xia was bound to face a crisis.
"Captain, don't worry too much. They're just surrounding us; they haven't tried to kill us yet. There are only two possibilities:"
First, the things here are only meant to trap us, not to kill us, or more accurately, they cannot withstand the power that could kill us.
Secondly, perhaps tomorrow, things will escalate to a violent confrontation here.
