Master of the Stars

Chapter 1639: New Starry Sky (Part 2)

Views:

Facing the gray matter rising up from the miasma, Long Qi was in a daze for a moment, and then he came up with a basic guess: Could this be the dust that permeates the mist maze all year round

To be precise, it should be the "peripheral experience area".

How about a real mist maze? Long Qi hasn’t seen it yet.

So, is it because of the awakening and integration of "Hundred Peaks Lord" that the mist maze that is closely related to it cannot withstand the tossing and collapses

If we trace the causal chain again...

Long Qi raised his head in a daze, and cast his gaze again to the mid-air, where the clouds and flames were lingering on Ruiwen.

It was also at this moment that he clearly saw that the thick cloud cloak behind Ruiwen, which was directly connected to the sky, seemed to be swaying with the strong wind in the sky.

Its upper end is still mixed with the clouds, and it is entangled with the headless giant god, and its direction is unknown.

The floating and falling clouds seem to be touching the chaotic, ferocious and violent void field in the mountain area below... In fact, they have already touched it, and are intertwined with the rapidly rising gray matter miasma, further blurring it. The boundary between heaven, earth, clouds and mountains caused an even more manic response from the "Baifengjun" below.

Got it!

Long Qi subconsciously thought that the hanging clouds or the hanging feet of the cloud giant represented the tyrannical power and will transported by Ruiwen above the sky to completely subdue the demon king of the mountains below.

Um, wait...

If they met, wouldn't he and Lao Yao be in the focus area of the collision between giant gods and demons? I'm afraid it turned gray instantly

Long Qi wanted to remind his companions: "Old Yao..."

"The altitude is decreasing."

Unlike Long Qi's wandering thoughts, Lao Yao has been paying attention to the changes in the status of the shuttle and the close environment. He was the one who said "the sky ridge is cracked" just now, and now he has discovered a new problem:

"The motivation is still there, but I can't maintain the altitude!"

"ah?"

In the field of shuttle driving, Long Qi's experience is far superior to that of Lao Yao. After hearing this, he struggled to stand up from the rear cockpit, holding on to the back of the driver's seat and looking forward at the various instrument displays and readings.

Soon, Long Qi confirmed that the equipment was generally fine, so under the current circumstances, the problem should be the surrounding environment.

No need to look outside, Long Qi also knew that the shuttle they were on had been completely surrounded by the rapidly rising gray matter miasma, sinking into the sky and sinking into the sky. , unable to reach the ground, completely without reference.

At this time, he was completely disoriented by relying only on his eyesight and his own perception. Instead, Long Qi needed to use the ink perspective in the live broadcast room to roughly confirm the location of the shuttle. But soon, this rough and vague judgment became meaningless.

At this time, the three spires are the most active area of the kneaded "Mountain Demon King", and are being stained by the chaotic field stirred by the root shadows and the thick gray fog.

The previous "flares", oh, the aftermath of the Blood Ring Fortress's "interference cannon", have completely disappeared in this situation. Even from the perspective of ink, what can be grasped now is the general outline of the mountain range and the details of the ferocious and animated strips delineated by the waving roots.

If "Baifengjun" really struggles, then this may be regarded as its head and shoulders position. It's just that this incomparable huge monster will pull up or sink down

When it first took shape and faced off against the cloud giant, it definitely had to be pulled up, at least that's what it felt like. However, when the gray matter smoke that was suspected to have overflowed from the "peripheral experience area" of the fog maze rolled up, Long Qi felt that this momentum was a bit unstable.

Because when the boundary between the fog maze and the earth's local space-time collapses, or may expand further, the concepts of "heaven and earth" and "up and down" may no longer exist in the chaotic space-time structure.

Even if we have to observe it according to traditional concepts, the current space-time structure that seems to be chaotic does not seem to be so stable. In such an environment, "Baifengjun" seems to be stuck in a quagmire. Can it hold on to the ground and struggle upward...

None of my business!

The most realistic point for Long Qi at the moment is that he and Lao Yao have fallen into this area with blurred boundaries, and are far worse than "Baifengjun", and are obviously continuing to sink.

The power of the shuttle is still there, but it seems to have entered an invisible net. The power normally activated will be transmitted to other invisible dimensions and quickly dissipated.

At this moment, the sound of landslides and wind roars outside was deafening. In the shuttle cabin, various warning lights and sirens were also piercing and chaotic. On the contrary, both Long Qi and Lao Yao held their breath.

Based on the height of the shuttle before the emergency occurred, if it really fell and landed at the bottom of the cliff, it would probably be a dead end.

However, the situation is very delicate.

The shuttle began to drop in height very quickly, but not long after, the feeling of falling and stalling disappeared. The surrounding gray matter was filled with smoke, and the change of position could not be felt. In fact, these gray matters seemed to have a shape that was not commensurate with the specific shape. After the carrying capacity reaches a certain concentration, it will be crowded from all sides, preventing the shuttle from plunging headlong.

It's like clouds that can be stepped on...

Long Qi was no stranger to this feeling.

This is the characteristic of the "peripheral experience area" of Cave No. 2.

Could it be that the sky ridge cracked and the hole in Cave No. 2 also collapsed, causing the interference area between the fog maze and the earth's local time and space to expand, and the scope of the "peripheral experience zone" to increase

This idea is consistent with previous observations.

So are they in the local time and space of the earth now, or are they in the "peripheral experience zone" of the cave, or have they entered... or are they about to enter the real "fog maze"

Long Qi tried to calm down and patted the backrest of the driver's seat in front of him again, calling to Lao Yao: "Don't stay here, go out, there can be people standing there."

Lao Yao also knows that in this special environment, the shuttle has lost its function. If you stay in it, you will lose the room to adapt. Naturally, there is no objection. Immediately, he opened the hatch cover and jumped out, and also gave Long Qi a hand.

The two of them were in a gray matter miasma. In fact, it was more like swimming on the bottom of the sea. They had a natural buoyancy, but their bodies were unable to touch the ground, but there was no unbearable pressure.

"Maybe the density here is lower than the outer experience area... I remember you have been to Laoyao, right?"

"Well, just once, to experience it." Lao Yao responded in a low voice, "There are not so many messy things over there."

What makes Lao Yao complain is that the waving root demons around him give people a very bad experience. They swung back and forth in the gray smog, making noises in the air. They passed by the two of them many times, and the turbulence they caused could make them stagger.

As long as it is hit, it will probably be quite fatal.

Of course, the fact that Long Qi and the others have not yet encountered each other is not just because of luck, but because they are still roughly on the same route that Ruiwen "traveled" to before. Even though this place is no longer enough to suppress the manic "Baifengjun", it still has a somewhat shielding and isolating effect.

Long Qi comforted Lao Yao: "Our position is not bad. We can lean back further."

Better... By the way, do you have feelings? "

"ah?"

"Ruiwen invited you here just to use your unicorn arm to determine the location? Who do you think he wants to find?" Lao Yao failed to respond immediately, so Long Qi kept to himself, "Hundun? That ultimate bait? Or something else..."

Lao Yao finally responded with a wry smile: "No, I don't feel anything at the moment."

"That means the location is not deep enough. But if we go deeper, we will really end up in the 'Misty Maze'." Long Qi clicked his tongue twice, feeling cold air coming in between his teeth.

According to legend, there is no concept of time and space in the depths of the Mist Maze, and even rules do not exist. You must have extraordinary abilities and form your own domain to survive there.

Ruiwen had said before that she wanted to take them into the mist maze, but Long Qi had preconceptions about it and always thought it was a "peripheral experience area". But looking at it now, it was not that at all.

Long Qi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart - Ruiwen never asked him to come, he volunteered to follow her. In this case, there is nothing more to say.

During this period, Long Qi looked at the live broadcast room again. Logically, the live broadcast signal became intermittent and basically had no quality at all. However, now Ink is the main perspective, maybe the live broadcast can continue.

Also, the communication with Zhang Yingying was cut off at some point.

This is no longer a problem that Long Qi needs to consider at this stage. He motioned to Lao Yao to turn around and walk back with him. If the impression is correct, the peak of Tianji should be at the back. Even if we don’t know what the collapse will be like now, there should always be some place to lean on to reduce the threat.

However, before they could find the so-called "cliff", the gray matter miasma and the filled void began to turmoil again. Long Qi and Lao Yao couldn't help but rise and fall with the fluctuations of the smoke, but they couldn't control their balance at all. They curled up and were able to hit dozens or twenty rolls on the spot.

This is more like tossing in the sea water.

While the world was spinning, they encountered a rough and cold rock wall, and bumped into another mess. Long Qi is now weak, so his throat feels sweet, and the physical and spiritual framework that he finally put together has a tendency to become distorted and scattered.

It was at this time that the outside light suddenly changed significantly, and the turbid vision suddenly brightened. Long Qi almost thought it was Bloody Ring Fortress adding another "interference cannon"...

He raised his head suddenly and did not see the beam trajectory pierced by the "interference cannon".

On the contrary, just above their heads, the light projected in in a more wild manner - the gray smog suddenly opened, revealing a sky covered with clouds but with electric light wandering.

But the most eye-catching one is Ruiwen.

At this moment, she was clearly hanging in the center of a terrifying storm, and this storm was created by her: the clouds in the sky, the gray smoke miasma spewing up, the waving root shadows on the mountain, and the swarming sky. The abnormal mosquito swarms covering the ground were entangled together at this moment, and then burned and shattered in the scorching flames outside her body.

The cloud generals in the sky, the mountain devils on the ground, and all the elements they threaten cannot cross the invisible dividing line where Riven is.

Anyone who crosses the boundary will be destroyed.

Well, not really.

Between the clouds and mountains, strong winds rolled in, and these fly ash residues were eventually rolled up to the sky and turned into the hanging cloud cloak, seeming to be smeared with an ominous color.

Long Qi took a deep breath, and subconsciously looked at the live broadcast room again. As expected, as the smoke miasma opened, the live broadcast signal that had collapsed just now was restored. After a brief buffering, Long Qi saw the colorful barrage again. Of course, the focus was on Ink's circular vision.

It's still a high-altitude perspective, but it's a little skewed. It takes care of the clouds in the sky and the three-spire area, but it's a little bent and deformed, which may not be easy for some people to adapt to.

It is from this perspective that the originally barely distinguishable boundary line in the central area becomes much wider. As for Ruiwen, who was just a little smaller, she didn't change much, but the feeling of spanning the void and dividing the two worlds became increasingly clear and shocking.

Then what? Just stay here...

Rui Wen, who had not finished her thoughts and was always quiet, suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

The "cloud cloak" flying on the shoulders seemed to become sluggish with this shallow breath, so that it suddenly fell. This was no longer the level of the cloud god "stepping on both feet". It felt like It even pulled down the entire gloomy sky!

Even the "dividing line" that was bent and enlarged in the live broadcast footage was instantly erased at this moment.

Long Qi, who was in the middle of the game, felt that his eyes were dim for a moment, and during this period, there was lightning flashing and flickering. The cliff he was leaning on was also trembling, and the gray matter miasma beside him was boiling with a more intense "Gululu" attitude, so that it drowned out other noises. He only felt complex and chaotic air vibrations, pushing him back and forth. body of.

The problem is, Long Qi doesn't feel hot at all, but feels chilled to the bone. It was as if at this moment, invisible ghost claws passed over his body, taking away the heat and vitality from his body.

He shuddered and narrowed his eyes unconsciously. The several flashes that occurred so close to him just now left long-lasting traces on his retinas, so that everything he saw now seemed like a few more cuts and scribbles.

Perhaps because of this, when the area where Long Qi was was lit up again, he looked at the "giant fish" leaping in front of him and thought it was an illusion for a moment.

Until Lao Yao shouted in his ear: "Fish, big fish!"

Long Qi's pupils dilated. He didn't see the complete "big fish", but only saw a rough outline that felt quite similar. It was a mixture of mountain peaks, clouds, roots, mosquitoes, smog, and even the remains of flesh and blood. In the chaotic field of limbs, they swing lightly and swim freely.

Suddenly, with a flick of its tail, the "big fish" leaped into the sky. The fins on its thorax and abdomen were still light, but like the wings of a bird. They split the airflow and were lifted by their own buoyancy. They actually followed the falling clouds and headed towards the sky. .

No matter how chaotic the previous scene was, when this dreamlike "big fish" flew into the clouds, the world seemed to become fresh and lively.

Well, it's an illusion... Otherwise, why would this "big fish" still pull a "big net" that is getting clearer, bigger, and more familiar

Long Qi suddenly confirmed: This "big fish" has never taken away or reduced any elements. Instead, it has drawn out from the current chaotic scene a complex and eye-catching story that is densely intertwined between heaven and earth. jumping network system.

But Long Qi had seen this "network" before.

He raised his head in confusion, looking at the long interlaced gray matter, the large dark gray network with varying density of grids, and seemingly shaking endlessly. He quickly confirmed that this was exactly what was cut by the magneto-optical mica "control line". It’s like the “induction chain network” that appears in the wonderful space of a “cinema”.

It is an immoral thing brought out by a certain "living god", specifically used to take advantage of the extraordinary beings who enter the Great Golden Triangle area.

Just because the origin of this big network was confirmed, a relatively clear memory was brought up - during this period, when everyone was communicating with each other, they heard Yuan Wuwei bragging, but he said that he had been in "Lei Chi"

The fragmentary experience of "Experimental Field" and what happened when this "induction chain network" was formed.

Then I also got a strange concept:

Sue the dead bird.

How do you say that

A fish that wants to fly to the River Styx

Long Qi was not sure whether the huge but not heavy and agile "big fish" above his head was a bird of death. But one thing is particularly clear:

At this moment, there is no need for segmentation or "control lines". This gray matter network, which is hidden beyond the perception range of most people, is clearly presented in the current Baifengjunshan District and in Long Qi's eyes. , presented in live footage that reached directly into the eyes of millions of viewers.

Although it is impossible to tell where this network starts and where it ends, what is shown here is still only a part of the entire "induction chain network" in the Greater Golden Triangle area, and what is highlighted is only this small section in the surrounding mountainous areas...

But there is no doubt that it is this "big net" that may be closest to the perspective of perception at the transcendent level.

He bets that as long as those people in the Lakeside Hotel, including the extraordinary ones still wandering in the Golden Triangle, watch the live broadcast, 99% of their attention will be projected on this network, which will be related to their personal perceptions and the events during this period. Compare changes.

How did Raven do it

So since she arranged the "interference cannon", all her actions have been to summon this strange fish... bird

Long Qi really wanted to communicate with Yuan Wuwei now to confirm his judgment on the "suicide bird". But before he made the call, he first confirmed the extremely obvious changes in the "perception chain network":

Because the tiger escaped into the "maze maze" and the clown divided into thousands of mosquitoes and disappeared one after another, this gray matter network lost two very obvious "nodes" of densely woven wiring. When mapping the situation in this mountainous area, it looked particularly strange. smooth.

But now, those eye-catching "nodes" have appeared again, and there are not two, but three!

At least three.

Perhaps the existences corresponding to these three "nodes" all want to try to get rid of the shackles of the chain network and hide their existence. However, when the "Sad Bird" entered the clouds to survey the sky and continued to pull, the "Induction Chain Network" became particularly sensitive.

At this moment, in this huge gray matter network, there is clearly a "giant source of attraction" that cannot be avoided, all on this big network? Their goals, whether they like it or not, must revolve around the "giant source of attraction".

Therefore, their own existence location and trajectory are no longer secrets.

Long Qi thought with his toes, and knew that the particularly eye-catching "node" closest to him, almost sinking under the strata of the central basin, must be "Baifengjun".

Judging from the "perception chain network", this big guy is still continuously encrypting his connections with various creatures and areas in the surrounding mountains, without any intention of concealing or restraining himself.

Next, Long Qi's eyes followed the distorted mosquito swarm that suddenly took off in this area, all the way to the west side of the U-shaped mountain range, a place he had never paid attention to before.

There is another prominent "node" there.

By the way, Long Qi had always thought that the group of aberrant mosquitoes that had been dancing face-to-face with "Baifengjun" in the three-spire area should be the main force of differentiation. However, it was not until this moment that I discovered that the previous ups and downs in the chaotic field were nothing compared to this one.

At the position pointed by the "sensory chain network", the originally extremely scattered mosquito swarms, whether spontaneously or forced, are pouring in one after another, forming a tornado-like giant mosquito column, connecting the sky to the earth, but in the sky and the earth. Under the influence of the tyrannical force between them, it is constantly being worn away and compressed, and the dark red blood color is getting clearer and clearer, just like the substance, it seems to be "kneaded" into another form.

As for what it is, there is no certainty yet. It always twists and collapses when it is close to taking shape, struggling endlessly.

The Joker, or the Skeleton King

In any case, the irregular and distorted turbulence coming from the "Mosquito Pillar" has been acting on the "Induction Chain Network". I don't know what kind of intuitive feeling it will give to those extraordinary species.

In addition to the momentum of "gathering" and "kneading", this continuously growing and twisted "mosquito pillar", after gathering to a certain size, suddenly accelerated its rolling, not towards the three-spire area that is the global focus, but in the opposite direction, westward. hurricane.

Ah this...

Long Qiyi didn't know how to describe this scene.

Whether it's the Joker or the Skeleton King, isn't this a bit too much

The "Hurricane Mosquito Pillar" moved extremely fast, and its initial position was also very far away. When Long Qi was stunned, it was almost out of Mo Mo's field of vision... no more than a few kilometers away.

But just in front of its route, there were suddenly several muffled blasts of "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom", and a gray column of air burst out from under the ground and shot straight into the sky.

Not just in this direction. In fact, in the central basin wrapped by the U-shaped mountains, as well as in many peripheral areas, there are also similar strong gray air columns rising into the sky.

It's a bit like a volcanic eruption, except that instead of hot magma, it ejects a large amount of gray smog, which is probably the same type as what trapped Long Qi and Lao Yao - it's probably the mist that has been suppressed by the rules of the material world. The storm inside the labyrinth.

So, has the boundary barrier between the fog maze and the earth’s local time and space completely collapsed

Long Qi didn't know if his guess was correct. He didn't care to look at the "Hurricane Mosquito Pillar" in the distance. Instead, he used the ink perspective to survey the whole situation, watching the endless gray matter miasma and rising air pillars into the sky. Then, another mass exploded, covering the three spires and the surrounding large mountainous areas in an instant, making everything in front of the camera become hazy and dim.

Well, it’s not so absolute:

Even in the darkest area and time, Raven, covered in flames, is still like a bright star, fixed on the most chaotic field of the Three Spiers.

And below her side, deep in the central basin, there is also a large star, slightly darker in color but extremely large and eye-catching.

That is "Baifengjun".

Then there is the "Hurricane Mosquito Pillar" going west. Even the layers of smoke cannot block the bloody starlight that still seems to shine there.

So, are all the key nodes on the "Induction Chain Network" stars

Long Qi remembered that on this huge gray matter network, there were three "nodes" with highly concentrated weaving threads in the surrounding area. Two of them are now exposed, but one lurks deep within this billowing gray miasma...

He looked down through the ink's perspective, looking for the corresponding light.

Got it!

The location is in... eh

Long Qi was suddenly stunned.

At this moment, in the depths of the bottomless miasma he was paying attention to, stars did indeed shine. However, it is not one, not two, or three, but a series of soldiers, densely packed, staggered, and mysterious, deep, and almost endless.

At this moment, it was as if the world was turned upside down...

If not, why would the "death bird" that was originally cruising in the thick clouds appear in this strange gray "starry sky" and then disappear again
