The Beginning of the Origin Chapter 18 Destination
"This is the base?"
After entering the iron gate, Ye Xiaomeng discovered that this so-called base was completely different from what he had imagined.
I thought this place would be like the one on the top of Mount Everest, a war fortress integrating a variety of high technologies.
However, what he saw before him completely made him unable to believe his eyes.
At this time, everyone was just in a passage that extended sloping toward the ground. The passage was not wide, and could only accommodate a fighter plane to pass through.
Looking at the surroundings of the passage, they are not made of copper or iron, but are just uneven, pitch-black rocks. There are rows of light tubes on both sides of the passage, clearly reflecting the dents on the surface of the rock wall to everyone's eyes.
However, what surprised Ye Xiao and others the most was not this.
Above the entire passage, a stream of black air was slowly flowing outward against the rock wall. After exiting the entrance, it suddenly circulated upward and floated high into the sky.
They had not entered the passage before, and because of the dazzling lights at the entrance, Ye Xiao and the others did not see any black gas coming out of the entrance.
Now that we entered the passage, we could see the black gas clearly with the lights on both sides of the passage.
"What the hell is this thing? It looks like a long snake. How come it makes people feel so scared!"
Looking at the black air above his head, Sun Jie couldn't help but shudder.
"No matter what the hell it is, it's just like the black cloud I saw before. It's not a good thing!"
Zhu Tingcen spoke leisurely.
Not only him, but when they first saw the black energy, including Ye Xiao and Situ Yanlan, they all knew clearly that the black energy was of the same nature as the black clouds in the sky, only different in size.
It can even be said that the one in front of you is just one of the tributaries that make up the area in the sky.
Previously, several people were sitting inside the fighter plane. Even though they passed through the black clouds and mist, they did not see the clouds and mist clearly. Now after observing it at close range, they couldn't help but be secretly guarded against it.
Because on the surface, this black gas looks like blue smoke, but if you look closely, you will be horrified to find that there are red earthworm-like things squirming looming in this black gas.
Occasionally, you can even hear them emitting bursts of shrill screams, which can make your scalp numb.
"As you can see, these things above our heads are called death energy!" Mo Tiancheng, who was walking in the front, seemed to have noticed something strange among Ye Xiao and others.
"Death anger?"
Hearing what Mo Tiancheng said, Ye Xiao and others became curious.
"That's what cultivators call them," Mo Tiancheng said.
"They seem to know this thing very clearly, saying that it is not only an ominous thing, but also a treasure that countless cultivators can encounter but cannot seek."
"Is this the thing? It's related to the word "death". A treasure? How can it be found but not sought? I think they have made their brains stupid because of their spiritual practice! Who would treat this thing as a treasure?"
Before Mo Tiancheng finished speaking, Sun Jie also started to complain.
"Big guy, don't interrupt!"
Seeing this, Ye Xiao on the side scolded softly, and then continued to look at Mo Tiancheng and said: "Mr. Mo, these things you said are all said by cultivators. We don't know. We are just curious about the strips in this black air.
What is the red earthworm-like thing?"
"What? You..."
However, as soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking, Mo Tiancheng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around to look directly at Ye Xiao.
Then, as if he thought of something, he glanced at Sun Jie, Zhu Tingcen and Situ Yanlan again, and then he spoke in disbelief.
"Can you see that thing?"
Mo Tiancheng asked in a low voice. His voice was so low that he was afraid that others would hear him. Even Ye Xiao and the others who were closest to him had to lean in close to hear clearly.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Mo Tiancheng's sudden actions startled Ye Xiao, and he answered only after confirming that the other party did not do it intentionally.
"Oh my dear, it seems that Guan Laogui's plan has achieved remarkable results!"
Mo Tiancheng naturally took a few steps back. The shock on his face had long since dissipated, replaced by uncertainty of joy.
While he was talking, he could see his eyes turning towards Ye Xiao and the others from time to time. It felt like he was admiring some extremely special works of art, which made Ye Xiao and the others feel uncomfortable.
"Oh, Old Man Mo, please stop being silly. I think you and Mr. Guan Yuan are about the same age. You still call me an old ghost. I'm not ashamed of you. Please tell us how you can achieve remarkable results." Already?"
Being looked at by Mo Tiancheng like this, Sun Jie became a little impatient and spoke rudely.
Mo Tiancheng just rolled his eyes at him helplessly, then looked around, indicating to a few people that this was not the place to talk, and then walked towards the depths of the passage on his own.
"This old man who is immortal is just a taste breaker. When he dies, you see, if I don't give him a few sticks of short-lived incense, I won't even have the surname Sun!" Sun Jie, who was ignored, cursed for a while.
"Everyone is dead, what's the point of offering incense to the people?"
Zhu Tingcen mocked from the sidelines.
"Why, he can live a long life as a human being, but if he becomes a ghost, will he be cursed to be a short-lived ghost?"
Sun Jie was so rude that Ye Xiao and Situ Yanlan both shook their heads and sighed.
Anyway, no one here can speak to him, so just let him go. After he finishes complaining, he will calm down.
"You'd better hurry up. The end is not far ahead. Your problems should be discovered and solved by yourselves. As an old man like me, I'd better stay away so as not to get into people's mouths. It’s not worth it to be offered short-lived incense after death!”
As Mo Tiancheng's resentful voice came, when he returned to his senses, his figure was already ten meters away.
Ye Xiao and the others didn't waste any time and hurriedly paced to catch up. Only Sun Jie was still cursing.
Although Mo Tiancheng didn't say anything, the four of them knew clearly in their hearts that it wasn't that Mo Tiancheng didn't want to say it, but that he didn't want to say it here.
This can be seen clearly from his cautious attitude when he asked Ye Xiao and others just now.
Moreover, just like Mo Tiancheng said, Ye Xiao also felt that these questions should be left to him to slowly discover and find the answers.
Only in this way can we experience the motivation and passion we should have. If Mo Tiancheng revealed the answers to all the questions now, what meaning would there be in the process of searching?
call!
As the group of people gradually went deeper, the sound of wind began to come from the front, and the deeper they went, the stronger the sound of wind became.
"Here we are!"
At that time, Mo Tiancheng, who was walking in the front, stopped first, stretched out his hand and pointed straight ahead and said.
Almost at the same time, Ye Xiao and others looked in the direction of Mo Tiancheng's finger, and suddenly found that they had arrived at the exit of the passage.
And right at the exit, several figures appeared vaguely.
Although they were hundreds of meters apart, Ye Xiao and the others could see where they were coming from at the first glance.
I saw dozens of people, all dressed in gray robes, carrying long swords on their backs, with jade hairpins on their heads, with long, smooth hair hanging naturally from their shoulders, and their bright eyes looked like immortals.
If these costumes and scenes were seen in the peaceful times five or six hundred years ago, people would think they were filming some fairy tale movie.
But now it is very unrealistic, because they are not pretending to be fake, but are real cultivators.
"That's a little not good!"
Looking at the dozens of people at the exit, Ye Xiao frowned slightly, showing some embarrassment. After all, Guan Yuan had mentioned it to them before coming.
Therefore, you don't need to think too much about the dozens of cultivators in front of you to know that they are from Holy Spirit Academy.
What made Ye Xiao uncomfortable was that when he looked at dozens of people, dozens of people also looked at the four of them, which made him feel very bad and extremely unfriendly!
