Chapter 160 Third Journey into the Fengye Mountains
It's easy to avoid someone, but Liu Jun is really incompatible with the Fengye Mountains. The horoscope chart, which is inlaid with the Six Harmonies Pearl and absorbed the blood from her fingertip, is pointing in that damned mountain range again!
Standing at the entrance to the mountain range for the third time, Liu Jun really wanted to swear.
I haven't even had half a day of rest before I have to go into the mountains again. What do you think?
The fortune-telling chart in his hand was still pointing in a certain direction in the forest. Liu Jun looked at the forest that was gradually getting darker and sighed deeply. He put away the fortune-telling chart and stepped into the forest again.
This time, however, he went straight in the direction indicated, without any hesitation or disguise. Holding a knife in one hand and a fortune-telling chart in the other, he killed whatever he encountered without stopping to dissect the crystal cores or skin them, as if it were purely to vent his anger.
As for what she was angry about, Liu Jun didn't know; she simply felt like she had been played by fate.
Those magical beasts with any sense of propriety wisely avoided her, while the foolish ones continued to rush forward, eager to fight her to the death.
The previous fear of death seemed to have vanished at this moment. He didn't care that his fingers had been bitten off or his legs had been crippled; he only knew to charge forward relentlessly.
It's just a puppet body. If it's crippled, so be it. As long as the core isn't destroyed, it can hold on until the body is found. Once the body is found, there's no point in keeping the puppet.
It still hurts, like my leg is really crippled or my arm is broken.
Perhaps Liu Jun was so blinded by bloodlust that she didn't feel the pain, and she didn't know how far she had gone or whether she had gone deep into the heart of the territory. The number of monsters charging up seemed to be decreasing, perhaps they were really afraid of her reckless killing.
The path under the trees was still pitch black, but after walking a little further, it seemed to suddenly open up and become bright and clear.
Yes, the white light was blinding, as if she had entered another world. Liu Jun closed her eyes uncomfortably and raised her hand to shield them for a while before she could open them again, but she did not see any "peach blossom garden in the forest".
The surroundings were very white and bright, but not the natural white and bright under the sun; it was an ethereal, endless white and bright.
Liu Jun couldn't see anything around him, as if he had suddenly fallen into some kind of formation.
The Fengye Mountains are vast, seemingly without end. The trees within are also very tall, each one so tall that it blocks out the sun. Furthermore, there is some kind of unknown restriction within the mountains, as if people are not allowed to fly through them on their own in a secret realm. Even powerful figures like the Demon Lord cannot do so. It is no exaggeration to call it a secret realm, only it is an open one.
As for what's in this central area, no one knows, or perhaps someone does know but hasn't been able to leave, possibly because they're trapped in this magic array.
With the monsters no longer charging at him, Liu Jun lowered his defensive stance, but remained highly vigilant.
I took a few tentative steps, but nothing happened. I paused for a moment, then took a few more steps, but still nothing.
Liu Jun looked around but didn't see anything useful. It was all white, and there were no stones or obstacles to step on.
He waved his hand a few times, and the wisps of smoke floating in the air stirred with the movement of his hand.
"Hey, is anyone there?"
Liu Jun looked around and tentatively called out, but there was no response and no one answered her.
After waiting for a while, Liu Jun raised his voice and called out again, "Hey, is anyone there?"
However, this time several echoes reached her ears, and Liu Jun immediately stopped walking forward. Looking at the still white expanse ahead with a hint of doubt, she said "Hello" in her normal voice.
There was an echo, but it was smaller and two sections shorter than before. Liu Jun was silent for a while, then narrowed his eyes and shouted again, but this time it was much louder than before, and the echo he received was also much louder than before.
After a moment of silence, Liu Jun suddenly took two steps back, picked up the fortune-telling chart, and glanced at it.
The direction of the horoscope fluctuated greatly, but it wasn't moving randomly. Like a pointer, it moved rapidly left and right in the northwest and north directions, which indicated that she hadn't fallen into any formation but was still in the mountains.
Whether they were still in the same spot was hard to say. No monsters pounced on them, and they didn't smell that rotten, disgusting stench from the forest, nor did they hear the echo test from earlier...
Liu Jun gazed at the vast white expanse ahead, pondered for a moment, gripped his long sword, and put the Destiny Compass back into his storage ring before striding forward.
As expected, Liu Jun had only taken three or five steps when he suddenly lost his footing and fell down.
The surrounding void and whiteness instantly changed. It was no longer a cave, but rather felt like the first time I fell into the mortal world, constantly losing weight and falling in the dark void, with no beginning and no end.
This time, however, Liu Jun neither screamed nor panicked. He calmly waited for the situation to become clear. Practice makes perfect, after all. However, he kept his long sword tightly in his hand.
This time, however, it didn't last as long as last time, probably only a few seconds. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, there was another scene. But this time, he didn't actually touch it; it was more like he had become a soul again. The scene in front of him made Liu Jun feel even more incredulous.
The scene before her seemed to be happening in front of a house in the countryside, but she was watching it all as a spirit.
She was very familiar with this countryside, she was very familiar with this family, and she was even more familiar with what was happening.
This was her home from her past life! Her family, and... herself.
That version of myself standing helplessly in front of the gate, watching my father and mother argue endlessly!
Everything before her eyes was so real, so real that Liu Jun felt she could reach out and touch that tiny version of herself.
This is not a dream, nor a memory; everything here seems... as if she has truly returned to the past!
She could even smell the fragrance of that summer afternoon, hear the babbling of the stream, and feel the scorching sunlight.
It all felt so real, so real, that she could still recall the bitterness and pain of her mother's departure that day, to the point that she became numb and indifferent every day afterward.
And so, for the second time, she watched helplessly as the woman left this place without taking anything with her, and there was never any news about her again.
Why, why make her feel that pain again?
Why make her remember when she's almost forgotten everything?
why! ! !
Liu Jun's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he had no idea when the long sword in his hand had disappeared.
She watched as her father took her away from that rural village to make a living, and watched herself rise to prominence only to fall from grace. Little by little, the hazy memories gradually became clearer, but everything came to an abrupt end on the day her father passed away.
Liu Jun clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred, and sneered cruelly: "Have you seen enough!"
"...You actually managed to see through my Insight Technique, how interesting. Your origins are even more interesting."
The frozen scene shattered instantly, and Liu Jun suddenly opened his eyes. Mist swirled around him, but the first thing Liu Jun saw was the sun. Yes, it was the sun.
The sun was high in the sky, exceptionally bright and dazzling, giving one the illusion of being in another world.
Liu Jun slowly sat up, supporting himself with his arms. After moving around a bit, he felt the pain in his body subside. When he looked at his hand, it was still incomplete.
Looking around, I realized that I was in the middle of a lake.
The lake wasn't very large; as far as the eye could see, there were still tall, lush trees. The spot where she was lying was just a rock protruding from the lake, completely bare.
Liu Jun looked around again, wondering where she was and why she was there, when she saw a ripple on the distant lake moving towards her. She immediately became alert and wanted to take out her knife to defend herself, but she didn't know where she had put the knife.
"What are you looking for? I can help you."
It's that voice from the illusion!
Liu Jun stared intently at the thing in the lake that was moving incredibly fast and had reached him in the blink of an eye before leaping out of the water. It looked like a luo fish but had three tails and two pairs of wings. It was neither fish nor bird, only slightly larger than a horse, and could even speak human language.
Did it save me?
Liu Jun stared at it for a while, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, then looked around again, and suddenly a guess came to mind.
"You...you wouldn't happen to be the mount of the legendary Nightmare Queen, would you?"
"What do you mean by 'passing down'? I am the mount of the Four Great Kings, but that was a long time ago."
"By the way, you are the second animal that can get close to me in a long time. Tell me about the interesting things that have happened outside. I haven't heard anything new in a long time."
Having said that, the thing that was neither fish nor bird suddenly transformed into a ragged young man and landed in front of Liu Jun.
Liu Jun was surprised: "You can transform into human form?"
"What's so difficult about that? I was able to transform into a human when I was following the Four Great Kings. Now tell me what happened outside, or I'll... I'll eat you up, do you hear me!"
