"Why is this place empty?" Zeng Tao raised her head and looked at the appearance of the crystal palace, and said with some disappointment, "Is this palace the same as those buildings outside? Disappointment..."
The interior of the Crystal Palace was empty, and at first glance, it was filled with soft, bright white light.
Everyone was shocked by the beautiful scenery just now, and now they have all reacted.
"... There's nothing here, right?" Lou Feier looked around.
After Xu Xin came into the palace, his heart was constantly beating fast.
He felt that something in the depths of the palace was attracting him and asking him to... go there quickly.
The first floor of the Crystal Palace is an empty hall. At the other end of the hall, there is a staircase that leads to the second floor.
The hall was very large and they needed to walk about two hundred meters to reach the other end.
Looking at the stairs, he subconsciously took two steps forward.
"What's wrong with you?" At this time, Shi Wanyun behind him noticed his abnormality and asked softly.
"… I might know the way. You all follow me."
Xu Xin's words shocked the women around him.
"Ah? What do you mean? You..." Zeng Tao wanted to ask about the situation, but when she saw Xu Xin's strange expression, she immediately shut her mouth and dared not say anything, and followed him obediently.
Lou Feier opened her eyes slightly, showing an expression of "as expected", and followed.
When she saw the stone statue of a human head with Xu Xin's face carved on it, she felt that this place was definitely related to him, and now it seems to be true.
Jin Yue naturally said nothing and followed immediately.
“What’s going on…” Shi Wanyun was a little surprised, but seeing that no one else objected, she followed.
Xu Xin relied on his own feelings and moved forward step by step.
This place gave him an inexplicable sense of... déjà vu.
He always felt like he had been here before, and everything here seemed unexpected to him... familiar
"Hmm..." Coco opened her eyes slightly due to the bright light around her, looked around, then closed her eyes again, put her head closer to Xu Xin's arms and buried it, "Hmm..."
Xu Xin rubbed its little head and continued to move forward.
Behind her, Zeng Tao tugged at Lou Feier's arm, dragged her back a few steps, and whispered, "What's going on? I see you don't seem very surprised, do you know anything?"
"Why don't you just ask yourself?" Lou Feier whispered.
"Well... I don't dare." Zeng Tao said timidly, "He had a weird expression just now. I was afraid that if I interrupted his train of thought, he would scold me."
"Well... I can't explain it clearly, I just have some guesses. Let's take a look at the situation here first." Lou Feier did not explain, because it was about Xu Xin's matter, and Xu Xin did not say it clearly, so she couldn't explain it herself.
"Okay... But, on this floor, there's only that staircase that can be used. Let's go over and take a look first!"
"Have you encountered anything before when you were up there?" Shi Wanyun guessed something and asked softly.
"Well... it's indeed a bit weird, but if you want to know, you should ask Xu Xin. It's hard for me to explain."
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Jin Yue glanced at them, kicked off her steps, and followed Xu Xin.
Xu Xin turned around and looked at them helplessly: "You don't have to worry so much, I just have some strange feelings, everything else is normal, don't whisper behind my back. And, I heard everything."
"Ah!" Zeng Tao touched his head, then ran to the front and looked up at Xu Xin. "Then tell me, what happened? Where on earth is this place?"
"How should I know?" Xu Xin laughed angrily, "This is my first time here, too, although..."
Although there is always some inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
"What's wrong?" Zeng Tao immediately went around in front of him to block the road, but she didn't really block it. She just kept backing away as Xu Xin moved forward, "Can you please stop talking in half sentences?"
"Although... be careful!" Xu Xin's eyes suddenly fixed, and he reached out and grabbed Zeng Tao's arm.
Of course, Zeng Tao is not the one who has lost her strength now, and it is impossible for Xu Xin to pull her with his strength.
Xu Xin's outstretched hand made Zeng Tao subconsciously take a half step back, but she reacted immediately and was pulled over by his force on the spot.
At the same time, a "click" sound was heard from above her head!
"Ah!" Behind Xu Xin, Lou Feier screamed.
Jin Yuetong's heart shrank suddenly.
Shi Wanyun narrowed her eyes slightly.
“Sizzle!”
Two arrows passed through the back of Zeng Tao's head, passed through her purple steel armor, and went straight into the ground!
"What is that!" Zeng Tao immediately jumped forward and looked back.
On the ground, I saw two arrows emitting a bright white light, deeply inserted into the crystal ground, and the tails of the arrows were still trembling slightly!
Although the crystal ground was white overall, it still had some transparency, so everyone could vaguely see that the head of the crystal arrow was a black, unknown metal.
Moreover, each arrow was inserted two-thirds deeply into the ground, which was enough to show how powerful the arrow was.
And the moment Zeng Tao turned around, Xu Xin immediately noticed that there were two not-so-shallow scratches on the back of her purple-grade steel armor!
The purple-grade steel armor was easily torn apart by this arrow!
If this is shot directly...
I'm afraid he will die on the spot!
Zeng Tao saw two arrows deeply stuck in the ground, and was suddenly frightened and his legs went a little weak.
Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Hey, hey... Isn't this power a bit too strong..."
"Fortunately, fortunately, no one is hurt." Lou Feier observed for a while and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Yue looked at the two arrows on the ground with a serious expression.
Xu Xin looked up at the ceiling.
The palace has a very high ceiling, at least six or seven meters, but above it is just a very smooth crystal ceiling surface.
Although the crystal ceiling has some transparency, it seems to be very thick, so you can only see through a few centimeters of the surface, and you can't see anything deeper.
"The power of this arrow..." Jin Yue wanted to reach out and pull it out, but she also looked up at the ceiling and did not act rashly.
No one knows whether there will be new arrows shot out from the front.
"It's really powerful." Xu Xin nodded.
"It's more than just big!" Zeng Tao immediately jumped up and took several steps back, looking terrified. She felt a little traumatized. "It's too big! Don't you know how hard the crystal house here is?"
hard
"Yes." Jin Yue nodded. "When the stone layers on the exterior of these buildings peeled off and revealed the crystals, Zeng Tao used her giant purple-grade steel blade to chop them, but... there was no damage at all."
What…
Xu Xin was shocked.
This was indeed something he had not expected.
"Not only is there no damage at all!" Zeng Tao immediately took out his giant blade from his backpack and said with some distress, "Look, my giant blade is even bent!"
Several people looked at her weapon.
Sure enough, a gap of nearly one centimeter appeared on the blade of the giant blade!
"Why is the gap so big? Did you use a lot of force?" Lou Feier was a little surprised.
"Uh..." Zeng Tao said a little embarrassedly, "I cut it a few times, but it didn't work, so I cut it hard in a hurry, and it turned out like this. I saw that the material of this crystal building is similar to the core of the tree house, so I wanted to cut off a piece to see..."
She lowered her head, raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Xin cautiously: "Will you give me the materials to repair it?"
This little girl is still thinking about this.
"You just..." At this time, Shi Wanyun behind him spoke up, looking at Xu Xin with some confusion and asked, "You just now, predicted that there would be danger in advance? Why?"
She had just been behind Xu Xin, watching him and observing the environment around him.
As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. She should be able to understand the situation around him better than Xu Xin.
But why did he predict the danger before the machine gun made a sound and the arrow was shot out
This made her curious and she couldn't help but ask.
Jin Yue also looked at Xu Xin.
She felt roughly the same way.
"My feeling is déjà vu." Xu Xin said, and told the people around him about his confusion. "Since I came here, I have always had a sense of déjà vu. I have always felt vaguely familiar with this place."
Because the dangerous situation had really occurred, he didn't intend to hide it.
After all, apart from Shi Wanyun, who is an unstable factor, the others are all real people and they cannot be allowed to get hurt.
"A sense of déjà vu? A sense of familiarity?" Zeng Tao looked confused. "What do you mean? Have you been here before?"
"The meaning of déjà vu is that even though you haven't experienced it before, you feel very familiar with it, as if you have done the same thing before." Lou Feier explained to Zeng Tao, "Stupid."
"Oh?" Zeng Tao didn't care that Lou Fei'er called her stupid, but opened her eyes wide, "That means..."
"Just now, I subconsciously felt that an arrow would be shot down from the ceiling and would hurt you, so I grabbed you directly." Xu Xin looked up at the ceiling again.
A perfect ceiling, without any holes for arrows to miss.
I really don't know where this arrow came from.
After the shot is released, will the wall recover
…wall restoration
Xu Xin frowned slightly, and a map appeared in his mind.
His current location is right below the hilly resource area.
The original location of the altar was right above this palace!
He remembered that the altar at that time could also repair itself automatically.
However, Qin Fu had said before that after he took the key from there, the altar had been destroyed and nothing was left.
… key!
Xu Xin immediately took out the ancient bronze knife from his backpack.
Could this key be related to this place
It's really possible!
"Let's keep moving forward." Xu Xin looked at the crossbow on the ground but did not reach out to pull it out.
Because his feeling told him that there were more than just these two arrows missing here.
If you go up and pull it out, someone will die.
He was very sure.
Not only here, but also the area of several square meters in front is within the range of arrow attacks.
How did he know
He himself didn't know how he knew that.
In short, just know.
"But... it's very dangerous ahead, right?" Shi Wanyun hesitated and asked, "Can you guarantee that you can predict every danger?"
She didn't see clearly how the arrow was shot.
This is really too dangerous.
"I should be fine. If you are afraid, I can put you into the bracelet." Xu Xin looked at the stairs in front of him.
"I don't need it." Jin Yue immediately shook her head.
"I don't need it either." Lou Feier said.
“Ah? Then… then I’ll give up…” Zeng Tao opened her mouth but finally refused.
Shi Wanyun didn't say anything, just shook her head.
Although she didn't know what the bracelet was, from what Xu Xin had just said, she could tell what kind of bracelet it was. It should be something with storage functions like a backpack, and it could store tools for living people.
There was no way she could go in there, she still had to observe Xu Xin.
"Then let's just go." Xu Xin turned his head to look at the stairs, then patted Coco in his arms, "Coco, wake up, we need you."
As a result, no matter how he slapped her, Coco was snoring softly and did not wake up.
"Coco?" Xu Xin frowned.
"What's wrong with Keke?" Lou Feier and Zeng Tao both came over.
They like Coco very much and don't want to see anything happen to Coco.
Xu Xin lifted Coco up and shook her twice, but was unable to wake her up.
“… Fell asleep. Can’t wake up.” Xu Xin’s brows furrowed even tighter.
This is the first time I've encountered this situation.
What is the magic here
Shi Wanyun looked at Keke, a hint of enlightenment flashed in her eyes, as if she understood something.
But she didn't speak.
"Keep going. Follow me." After saying that, Xu Xin didn't waste any more time and started moving forward immediately.
Several people have already walked to the center of the first floor of the entire palace, and are only a hundred meters away from that place.
For them, it would only take less than ten seconds to run such a short distance.
Lou Feier might only need four or five seconds.
But after what happened just now, everyone became extra cautious.
Xu Xin's sense of déjà vu became even stronger.
With every two steps he took, vague memories and images would emerge in his mind.
"There is a trap here. Follow my steps and only step where I have stepped." Xu Xin said to the people behind him, then walked forward after making a slight detour.
Although the girls were very curious, they still did as he said.
Soon, they walked another ten meters.
"Is there really a trap behind us?" Zeng Tao couldn't help but ask.
"You can try it now and throw something over." Xu Xin turned around and said.
"Well... I'll try!" Zeng Tao took out a big stone from his backpack.
"Why do you have something like this in your backpack?!"
"I'm used to it. In the past, my weapons often broke, so I would always keep some of these in my backpack so I could throw them out and use them as weapons!"
As he spoke, Zeng Tao threw the stone directly at the place where the few people had just bypassed.
“Boom!” “Whoosh!”
The moment the stone fell to the ground, large areas of flames spurted out violently from above and below!
That’s right, Spitfire!
Moreover, the flame was extremely hot, so hot that the people who were more than ten meters away could feel their skin being burned!
"Wow!"
"sky!"
Several people saw that the fierce flames burned the rocks into magma in a few seconds, and then merged with the crystal ground in the firelight.
The flames faded away, and the ground once again turned into a crystal surface with a soft glow.
"This..." The girls were all a little surprised.
With this kind of high temperature, people would probably turn into ashes in an instant!
"Let's keep moving forward." Xu Xin continued to move forward.
“Um... be careful..." Zeng Tao was a little scared. She was afraid that Xu Xin would suddenly step into a trap and die.
Not only her, but the women around her all looked worried.
Even Shi Wanyun frowned slightly.
She even wanted to tell Xu Xin that she knew something and they could return the same way.
After pushing open that door and activating this underground world, the door above will also open, so you can directly return by the same route.
Here, this palace... she didn't understand.
But it’s too dangerous, let’s just go back!
But Xu Xin had already walked forward more than ten meters, and they had no choice but to follow him.
"Don't step here."
"Over there, squat and walk."
"Go around here."
Xu Xin became more and more skilled in conducting.
The closer he got to the stairs, the more he felt his sense of déjà vu becoming more and more obvious.
It seems like it’s almost turning into memory!
The four girls were also very obedient. They did whatever he said. After all, no one wanted to die. But when they saw him commanding without hesitation, they gradually felt relieved.
Finally, they reached the stairs leading to the second floor.
Xu Xin stepped forward without hesitation.
"Be careful! Are you really okay?"
Seeing Xu Xin step onto the stairs so easily, the people behind him became nervous.
"It's okay, just follow me up." Xu Xin climbed to the second floor in a few steps.
Then, the moment he reached the second floor, he smelled a strange odor and his vision became dazed.
Then, the colors in front of my eyes began to change and rotate!
What's that smell?!
This smell, can it cause hallucinations?!
He wanted to remind the people behind him, but his mouth was speechless.
Then, the scene before my eyes gradually became clear.
And his eyes gradually opened wider, and even his mouth was slowly growing bigger.
All around, there are tall buildings and busy traffic.
I could even hear the sound of car horns.
A few people passed by him, causing a gust of wind.
The air around seemed to become a little smellier, with a hint of dust and car exhaust.
He was so familiar with this smell!
Earth?!
The scene before him... was Earth! Moreover, it was the city where he was born and raised!
He looked around suddenly.
In the familiar scenery, there are no longer any women.
He took a deep breath and immediately reached out to grab the person passing by.
As a result, the hand passed through the person's body and grabbed nothing.
The passers-by paid no attention to his actions and walked away on their own.
…Is this really an illusion
Xu Xin suddenly didn't know what mood he should feel.
Then he gritted his teeth.
What the hell is going on?!
