"It's so bright." Lin Chen raised his eyes and looked up. The meteor was bright and gorgeous, enough to light up the entire night sky. The only difference from the scorching sun was that it didn't have such blazing flames.
"Do you want to make a wish?" Bai Shu's eyes sparkled, while he clasped his hands together and silently made a wish.
If making a wish is useful, what can this body of fighting power do?
"What wish did you make?" Lin Chen asked.
"I hope all the Taoists I drank will eventually achieve righteousness!" Bai Shu said with a pious face.
"..."
"Shouldn't you make a wish to finally solve the goddess's troubles and end this eternal reincarnation?" Lin Chen said speechlessly. Isn't this kind of big thing worse than white books and Taoist lovers?
Bai Shu rolled his eyes and looked at Lin Chen speechlessly, "If making a wish is useful, what else do you need this fighting power for?"
Depend on.
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and then asked: "Leng Ling, do stars often fall in this ancient Xingluo City?"
"It's not very often, but according to records, stars do occasionally fall. The last time a meteor fell was ten thousand years ago," Leng Ling said. He couldn't help but marvel when he looked at the meteors that lit up the night sky.
This was the first time he had seen this scene.
"What will the meteor bring?" Lin Chen asked.
"I don't know, all meteors will eventually fall towards Xingluo Ancient City, but there are no traces of falling meteors in Xingluo Ancient City," Leng Ling said.
This is interesting.
The meteor pierced the sky and fell much slower than ordinary meteors, leaving a long trail in the night sky. It was very gorgeous and beautiful. Lin Chen and the others rode on the starlight and continued to rush to Xingluo Ancient City.
After browsing through a particularly huge sand dune, we finally saw the ancient city of Xingluo, in an oasis ahead.
When Lin Chen and the others arrived, they happened to see the scene of stars falling into Xingluo Ancient City.
I saw that the entire ancient city was lit up with light, and countless lines were beating between the bricks and stones, like sponges absorbing water, greedily absorbing the massive amounts of starlight.
But soon, the starlight faded away, and darkness returned between heaven and earth. The ancient city did not change at all. It was still ancient, but it didn't look like anything special.
Lin Chen and the others did not delay and quickly entered the ancient city.
The scene just now is enough to say that Starfall Ancient City is not ordinary, but no one knows yet where its magic lies.
The scale of the ancient city is not small, far exceeding that of the underground city. The buildings inside are all made of bricks and stones. Each one is very huge, and the area near the center is filled with tall buildings.
The city was completely silent, with no residents at all. Occasionally, casual cultivators or people from the Beast Fighting Tower would come to explore and try their luck.
"Huh, it's just like the record, it's so cold." Leng Ling exhaled, but due to the low temperature, the water vapor condensed directly into ice.
This ancient city of Xingluo is so cold, but there is obviously no frost anywhere, and there is even an oasis outside.
"The star really disappeared completely," Leng Ling whispered.
"The smell of blood", Lin Chen frowned slightly and smelled the smell of blood in the air.
There was a battle here!
Following the smell of blood, in an ancient street, large stains of blood dyed the houses on both sides red, and the broken limbs showed the brutality of the battle.
"There are all humans, monsters, and demons," Leng Ling snorted. Not far away, there was a huge mountain-like corpse. It looked like a tiger-shaped monster, and the corpse was already stiff.
"It looks like they are all casual cultivators. They probably come from Duolao Mountain."
Duolao Mountain is another settlement of scattered cultivators on the second continent. It is similar to the underground city in that it relies on the special surrounding environment to protect itself and avoid the crusade of the Beast Fighting Tower.
However, the conditions in the Fallen Mountain are better than those in the underground city, and the strength is also stronger.
From the looks of it, the people from Duolaoshan were also exploring Xingluo Ancient City. Unfortunately, they met Luo Ji and a group of people and were killed.
"It's also unlucky." Lin Chen glanced across the area, but the smell of blood had not dissipated. There were actually corpses in the block ahead.
"Hey!" Lin Chen's eyes flashed slightly.
"Zhou Jiu is the person who was with Luo Ji at that time." Leng Ling sneered. There could be more dead people like this. He liked to see them.
It seems that there were also casualties on Luo Ji's side during the battle with the people who fell into Laoshan.
"Luo Ji must not die, otherwise, there will be a lot less fun," Leng Ling said.
He must kill Luo Ji with his own hands.
Lin Chen glanced at the man named Zhou Jiu a few more times, and then his eyes narrowed.
This body seems different.
The corpses of those who fell into Laoshan just now were covered with traces of battles. They had been beheaded and there was nothing unusual about them. However, the corpse of Zhou Jiu in front of him was relatively intact. Judging from the external injuries, the injuries were not serious.
Of course, this is not the key. After all, it may be internal or pathological injuries.
But the state of his body made Lin Chen frown.
"What's wrong?" Leng Ling was confused.
This Zhou Jiu is just a follower of Luo Ji. He is not very powerful and there is nothing to care about.
"Turn it over and take a look," Lin Chen said.
The corners of Leng Ling's eyes suddenly trembled.
He is not Lin Chen’s younger brother!
His heart was filled with anger, but Leng Ling was not slow in his actions. He stepped forward and turned Zhou Jiu's body over. But the moment he touched Zhou Jiu's body, he was startled and realized something was wrong.
The corpse is not rigor mortis.
Just died?
But even the corpse of the huge monster had become stiff, and the battle had been over for a long time.
"He died at the same time as those people, but why..." Leng Ling frowned and followed Lin Chen's instructions to look for Zhou Jiu's body.
It wasn't until their shirts were torn off that their pupils shrank.
There is a special mark on Zhou Jiu's heart, showing a faint silver color. At this moment, it is like a living thing, with the luster flowing continuously.
"What mark is this?" Lin Chen asked.
Leng Ling shook his head. He had never seen such a mark before. There was no relevant record in the Beast Fighting Tower.
"I have checked the records of Xingluo Ancient City in the past, but there is no relevant information. Perhaps, this has nothing to do with Xingluo Ancient City and was obtained by Zhou Jiu elsewhere," Leng Ling said.
It is indeed possible.
However, at this moment, the mark's light was flowing, and fine silver threads emerged from the mark and penetrated into Zhou Jiu's body. It looked like a parasite!
It was so weird, how could Lin Chen not keep his spirits up.
"It looks like it's absorbing nutrients." Leng Ling kept a distance and used his divine power to explore.
The reason why Zhou Jiu is not hardened even after he died is because this mark is absorbing nutrients from his body. This mark keeps Zhou Jiu's blood flowing.
Leng Ling calmed down and stepped back a few steps: "Although I don't know what this is, I would like to advise you that it is best not to move."
There are too many strange and unexplored things in this divine land outside the sky. After all, this is a unique world formed based on the divine realm. It does not belong to the human world or the divine realm, but it is influenced by both the divine realm and the human world.
Over the past long years, I don’t know how many secrets have been buried in this divine land of heaven and earth, including those of gods and powerful men. Even Luo Liakuang, a being who can claim to be the overlord in the divine land of heaven and earth, dare not say that he can understand the secrets of heaven and earth.
All of the divine land.
There are many mysteries that even Luo Liakuang is unwilling to touch.
"Not moving?" Lin Chen nodded, "Then you can carry this body away."
Leng Ling laughed angrily, Lin Chen really treated him as his little brother.
"Lin Chen, I hope you understand that we are in a cooperative relationship and I am not your subordinate!" Leng Ling said coldly.
"Then don't follow me." Lin Chen spread his hands.
"you!"
Leng Ling's face was gloomy, but he also knew that Lin Chen could handle him so easily, and it was okay not to accept it.
He took a deep breath and used his strength to lift Zhou Jiu's body.
"Oh, yes, check to see if the boundary ring is still there," Lin Chen said.
"No more!" Leng Ling gritted his teeth and said.
"Tsk, this Luo Ji is really incompetent. Don't worry, I will kill him if I catch him!" Lin Chen cursed secretly.
The two of them continued walking deeper into Xingluo Ancient City.
On the way, Leng Ling tried his best not to let Zhou Jiu's body have any contact with him, and used his divine power to isolate it tightly.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, was observing the mark.
This mark did not change, and he did not care that Zhou Jiu's body was taken away. The silver glow on it continued to flow, and Zhou Jiu's nutrients were constantly being absorbed.
Lin Chen was thinking, if Zhou Jiu is sucked dry, what will happen to the mark?
Are you looking for another host?
"Another one, what's going on!" Leng Ling said in a deep voice.
On the street in front, there was another corpse lying there, and like Zhou Jiu, it was the same guy who had been with Luo Ji before.
He is dead now too.
But this place is far away from the area where the previous battle was fought, and there are no traces of the battle nearby.
Why did he die here?
They obtained a large amount of supplies from the Eastern Branch Tower. Even if they were injured, since they did not die at the time, they should be able to recover.
"Go and have a look," Lin Chen said.
Leng Ling stepped forward to check, and sure enough, there was the same mark on his heart, absorbing nutrients.
Putting the two corpses together, there seems to be a connection between the two marks, but they seem to be incompatible and repel each other.
However, its aura fluctuations are the same, and they are obviously from the same source.
"Could it be related to the previous meteor?" Leng Ling asked.
Lin Chen shook his head, "Even if it is relevant, at least it's not the one we just saw."
This mark did not appear on the corpse for such a short period of time. It should have been there before they died.
"It seems like it may be related to Luo Ji's mission this time," Leng Ling said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing.
After all, such a change has never happened before!
"Lin Chen, do you still want to carry the body with you? They knew the inside story, so they left the body alone. This shows that they are also wary of this mark!" Leng Ling said in a deep voice.
This is not because he is afraid, but a reasonable analysis.
"Take it with you," Lin Chen just said lightly.
Leng Ling had no choice but to take the two corpses and move forward.
The situation in Xingluo Ancient City is beyond expectations, full of mystery and weirdness. The top priority is to find traces of Luo Ji and the others as soon as possible.
But the ancient city of Xingluo was cold and quiet, and there was no sound.
Even Lin Chen couldn't find the aura left by Luo Ji and the others.
Based on Luo Ji's ability, as long as they have been here, they should not be able to hide from Lin Chen's detection.
However, at this moment, the night sky lit up again.
Above the sky, a bright light shines and is falling rapidly!
meteor!
Another shooting star!
"What's going on? What happened in Xingluo Ancient City? Two meteors fell in a row. This has never happened before!" Leng Ling couldn't help but exclaimed.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"What are you going to do now?" Leng Ling asked quickly.
The meteor will fall into the ancient city of Xingluo, and now, they are in the city. No one knows what will happen after the meteor falls. They are naturally very adventurous here!
"Wait", Lin Chen watched the meteor trailing down with a long trail.
He also wanted to know where the meteor went after it fell into Xingluo Ancient City and why it disappeared. They had not noticed anything before outside the city.
At this moment, they are in the city, and they may be able to pry out one or two secrets of this ancient city of Xingluo.
That being the case, Leng Ling had no unnecessary nonsense. He used all his heaven-defying divine power. The ultra-micro divine sand exceeding 90% made his heaven-defying divine power extraordinarily powerful, and his divine control skills were pushed to the peak.
As for Lin Chen, the "world" around him was ups and downs, and he was also on guard with all his strength.
Meteors are not slow, but for the city, the starlight has quickly completely occupied all the fields of vision, and stars are shining everywhere.
Lin Chen immediately noticed that the surrounding buildings began to change. Just like what he had seen before, they began to light up and special patterns appeared in them.
But at this moment, being in it, the feeling of nature is particularly obvious.
"The mark is fluctuating!" Leng Ling shouted.
He carried the two people and naturally noticed the change immediately.
Lin Chen just glanced at it, and of course he noticed it. Moreover, it was obvious that this mark echoed the meteors chasing down in the sky.
As the meteor got closer and closer, the marks began to flow faster and seemed to become a little irritable.
"Coming", Lin Chen shouted lowly.
The next moment, endless brilliance fell to the ground, and the meteor was like a sun that no longer burned with fire. The brilliant power rushed straight to the door. Lin Chen and Leng Ling both instinctively took a step back.
However, no collision occurred.
The meteor struck down, but passed through the buildings of the ancient city. Lin Chen and the others stood there without any impact and were intact.
And the starlight surged, all pouring into the ancient city.
Lin Chen stared at this scene closely, his gaze was enough to penetrate the extremely bright starlight, and saw all the changes in the ancient city, without missing any detail.
The starlight began to fade, and the huge stars were hidden in the ancient city, just like those seen before.
Lin Chen squinted his eyes and saw some changes, some changes that made people care.
It seems that he knows the direction in which the starlight flows.
"Let's go. We probably know where to go. Some kind of wonderful changes should be taking place in Xingluo Ancient City. Maybe it will be an unexpected harvest!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
But after saying that, he was startled for a moment.
"Leng Ling?" Lin Chen called out.
Leng Ling was a little dull and her reaction was a little slow.
Lin Chen suddenly realized something. With a wave of his finger, the clothes in front of Leng Ling were torn apart. Immediately, Lin Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
The silver mark also appeared on Leng Ling's chest!
When the meteor fell, Leng Ling was actually parasitized!
Lin Chen glanced at the two corpses. The marks on their bodies had not disappeared, and they were still absorbing nutrients.
It's not a transfer of imprints.
That's what just appeared.
But they didn't suffer any attack just now.
"Meteor?" Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.
This mark comes from the falling stars!
But no mark appeared on Lin Chen's body.
Could it be said that a meteor can only bring one mark?
Lin Chen frowned. There were indeed many mysteries in this divine land. Even he couldn't figure out what happened and what the consequences of this mark would be.
"I don't feel good, but now it's really impossible to move still," Leng Ling said, with some difficulty.
He was not a corpse, he was still conscious. At that moment, he grabbed his hand on the mark and kept exerting force, trying to forcefully peel it off, even if he dug out the flesh and blood from his chest.
However, the intense pain came instantly and almost swallowed up Leng Ling's consciousness.
If such an impact had happened in the past, Leng Ling might not be able to withstand it and would faint.
But it was different now. After experiencing the inhuman pain and near-death test some time ago, the impact from the mark at this moment did not make him fall.
This is not enough!
Leng Ling gritted his teeth and persisted, but even if he could endure the pain and keep his consciousness intact, it was obviously not that simple to peel off the mark.
Those silver filaments had penetrated every part of his body and soul. To pull them out by force would be tantamount to tearing his body and soul apart!
"No, you will die if you do this," Lin Chen said directly.
Leng Ling's hand stiffened for a moment, but he clearly felt that his strength was passing away rapidly. Even though he was now determined, the dizziness caused by weakness was unavoidable.
No matter how strong your will is, you will still die when you die. Your will can change many things, but there are also many things that cannot be changed.
"What should we do?" Leng Ling smiled bitterly.
What's this?
He managed to escape from death this time, and survived with his extraordinary talent and will, but he was about to die as soon as he became a traitor.
And he died so casually.
It’s hard to calm down.
Lin Chen also tried it now and found that the mark and Leng Ling were so closely connected that even he couldn't peel it off.
At the moment, either forcefully peel off Leng Ling and die now, or watch Leng Ling suck it dry and die slowly.
"I have no choice but to take a gamble," Lin Chen said.
"What are you betting on?" Leng Ling asked.
But Lin Chen did not explain at all, nor did he discuss it. He immediately raised his hand and forcibly peeled off the mark on Zhou Jiu's body. Almost instantly, Zhou Jiu's body was turned into ashes.
And the mark separated from Zhou Jiu's body, and countless thin threads wound towards Lin Chen, silently, and at an alarming speed!
If it weren't for the "world" around Lin Chen shining and controlling time, I'm afraid he really wouldn't be able to prevent this filament and would be parasitized in an instant.
But even so, there is not much time.
At that moment, Lin Chen pressed the mark directly towards Leng Ling.
The filaments instantly penetrated Leng Ling's body and started parasitism.
However, at this moment, Leng Ling had two marks on his body at the same time. They were obviously not good friends, and they immediately started fighting for this body.
But neither of the two marks can do anything to the other, but neither of them wants to let the other swallow this body, so they are in a stalemate.
As a result, a certain balance was reached, which temporarily stabilized Leng Ling's situation.
"It seems the bet was right," Lin Chen said.
It was discovered before that the marks are mutually exclusive. Although they are all the same marks, they are not from the same group. Now this has been confirmed.
"Your uncle!"
Leng Ling was frothing at the mouth and fell to the ground. The two marks were fighting in his body, almost killing him.
"Just be happy that you're not dead. Take a rest and then set off," Lin Chen said.
