Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 313: Those who were abandoned

Views:

They all stood up.

In the faint cold mist, seven elders from the Ice Clan rubbed their hands and surrounded Pang Jian.

Some of them held staffs, some wore ice crystal crowns, and some wore white robes that exuded a sacred and majestic aura.

These Ice Clan elders, both men and women, seemed more excited than each other, and they didn't seem to know what to say.

The oldest one, holding an icy staff, held his breath for a long time before speaking in a trembling voice: "Dear guest, have you... ever truly felt the ice demon?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other six elders all looked expectant.

In the square, at the windows, and on the stands.

All the members of the Ice Clan were waiting quietly for Pang Jian's answer as if holding their breath.

The entire ice castle seemed to be under a "silence spell".

Pang Jian was stunned, and after carefully choosing his words, he frowned and asked, "You were in the frozen land, on this complete altar that can communicate with the ice demon, didn't you communicate with the ice demon before?"

Hearing this, the seven elders all looked bitter.

Someone sighed and sat down weakly, as if his sad memories were brought back to him again.

“We were abandoned.”

The elder who asked the question had a look of loss in his eyes. He said sadly, "As far back as I can remember, I knew we were abandoned."

"Although, we have the Heart of Winter left by the Ice Demon and a complete prayer altar. It seems that we have all the conditions to communicate with Him."

“But we just can’t feel Him, we can’t listen to His teachings.”

Looking up at the vast sky, as if recalling the past, he murmured: "As far as I know, before the frozen land was trapped in the strange fog, our ancestors could communicate with Him."

"The strange fog separates us from Him. We are all abandoned."

All the members of the Ice Clan looked at the sky in despair and sighed deeply.

"Who brought the frozen land into the strange fog?"

Pang Jian wondered.

"It seems that it is Himself..."

The old man of the Ice Clan lowered his head and said this as if he felt very disrespectful to the Ice Demon: "Perhaps he has forgotten to move the frozen land out of the strange fog."

At this point, he suddenly became excited and asked, "Guest, where are you from? In your world, can you still communicate with Him?"

"Can you tell Him for us that we are still in the frozen land, waiting for His favor again?"

"Why do you insist on communicating with Him?" Pang Jian hesitated for a moment, and asked curiously, "Can't you leave, can't you cross the strange fog and return to your original world?"

The void restriction can restrict outsiders, allowing them to enter but not leave.

Could it be that it has the same effect on the native Ice Clan

Pang Jian was confused.

"Yes, we can't get out, and we will never get out! Everything is sealed here, including us, the Ice Clan."

The Ice Clan elder groaned at the top of his lungs, wailing loudly as if he was going to collapse: "We were born here, and we will die here, and we can never get out! Even the limit of our bloodline is limited to level six, and we will never be able to break through again."

"This is an incomplete world, and we have always known it."

"Who doesn't want to go out into the world and broaden their horizons? Who doesn't want to transcend the shackles of blood and break free from the limit of level six?"

Several other elders also began to interrupt.

"Dear distant guest, you should know that in the world outside the strange fog, many tribes can raise their bloodlines to level nine, or even level ten, right?"

"The bloodline limit of the outsiders who invaded our frozen land is also level six, but they are restricted by the strange fog! They must be at level five to come in, and they still have the potential to continue to break through."

“And we don’t.”

"It is because of their arrival that we know there is a wider world outside."

"We want to go out!"

"… "

Several elders stared at the sky.

That look was like that of an alien living in the fifth realm of eternal darkness in purgatory, longing to ascend to the heavens and reach the upper realm.

Pang Jian was stunned by what he heard.

He didn't expect that such a powerful Ice Clan would be restricted to this world, with their bloodline never being able to surpass level six, and they would never be able to break away from it.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the truth as a test.

"My world is called Purgatory. We once had a Cyclops there, who communicated with the Ice Demon through a complete altar."

"And I was on a broken altar, and it seemed like I was stared at by the Ice Demon. That kind of chill that went straight to my soul should be his gaze, but I'm not sure."

While speaking, Pang Jian tried to close his eyes.

As the Ice Clan had said, he did not have the terrifying feeling of falling into another world as he had when he sat on the broken altar in the place of praying for spirits.

There is a barrier in the frozen land that prohibits people from entering but not leaving, and it is impossible to communicate with the ice demon.

"Can't go out..."

When Pang Jian thought of this, his face changed suddenly.

The Ice Clan can’t go out, what about him

Before he could even ponder the mystery of the "Heart of Winter", Pang Jian stood up abruptly and said anxiously, "Let me try and see if I can get out!"

Activating the talent of the Black Turtle Armor, he flew straight into the sky.

"Purgatory, Cyclops..."

The elders of the Ice Clan who were shocked by his words were still pondering the message revealed in his words. Seeing him suddenly fly high into the sky, none of the elders of the Ice Clan tried to stop him.

They all firmly believed that Pang Jian would not be able to leave the frozen land and would come down again soon.

Then…

Pang Jian clearly felt the existence of the barrier's seal. The bronze plate of "Gate of Hell" on his chest felt slightly warm, allowing him to easily overcome the seal and escape from the frozen land.

Under the horrified gaze of the Ice Clan elders, he disappeared from this world.

"He, he's out!"

"Is he the apostle sent by the Ice Demon to help us escape from the sea of suffering?"

All the members of the Ice Clan who looked up at the sky and saw Pang Jian disappear from the frozen land began to pray devoutly again.

Many people were already in tears.

High in the sky.

Pang Jian looked down and saw glaciers and snow-capped peaks. He could not see the ice castle on the top of the holy mountain, let alone the members of the Ice Clan.

When a person is in the outside world, the scenes and pictures he sees are obviously very different from those inside.

At this time, the Queen Bee suddenly said, "Once we leave the frozen land, we can use bees and insects to teleport."

After a pause, the Queen Bee asked again: "Now, do you still plan to go back?"

Pang Jian, who already knew the general situation of the frozen land and knew that the "Heart of Winter" was filled with a strong divine consciousness, asked hesitantly, "Can we steal the divine consciousness inside without the Ice Clan being able to detect it?"

“It’s difficult.”

The bee worm answered first, then thought for a moment and said, "Without your consciousness escaping into it, and without the bee soul entering, I don't know what it looks like inside."

"I feel like there are dangers hidden in there that we don't understand, and we need to be careful."

As he was speaking, six new bees suddenly emerged from their cocoons.

The six bee pupae that were bred by the silver spiritual consciousness that devoured Li Yuanchen had only grown out at this moment after such a long period of dormancy and accumulation.

There are another sixteen bee pupae that are still in a dormant state and it will take some time for them to emerge.

"How about we try to release the little guys and go inside to see what's going on?"

Queen Bee asks for advice.

"Okay, let's put one first."

Pang Jian nodded.

"call out!"

A golden bee worm quietly fell in.

Pang Jian and the queen bee sensed together and found that they did not have the vision of the golden bee insect and could not see the situation in the frozen land.

He is inside and can communicate with the bees and insects.

He was outside and the bees and insects were inside, and the connection was actually broken.

After dozens of seconds.

The queen bee said coldly: "I feel it's dead."

"Killed by the Ice Clan?"

"It should be."

The Queen Bee spoke in a cold tone. Because of the death of a bee, she immediately hated the Ice Clan.

"It's okay. I can give birth to more as long as I have enough divine consciousness."

It regards the "Heart of Winter" as a target that must be obtained. It no longer intends to care about the Ice Clan and is considering how to achieve its goal.

Pang Jian frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Let's not go in yet. Let's go to the place where the thunder is raging and take a look."

"good."

"Don't be too sad about that dead bee."

"Well, I will give birth to more bees. Death and rebirth, I will slowly get used to it."

After some communication, Pang Jian simply teleported and suddenly appeared in a bee insect closest to the Thunder Shattered Land.

Before he was about to step in, he suddenly changed his spell, refined the power in his thunder vortex, and integrated it into the Qingling Force Shield.

Then he flashed in.

“Boom!”

Thick streaks of lightning hung in the sky like waterfalls, and the earth was scorched black.

When Pang Jian looked closely, he found that many warships with strange shapes were bombarding each other with crystal fire in mid-air. A white crane was screaming and wandering in the thunder.

There was also a huge dark yellow flag full of holes floating in the sky, and the Insighter was also examining this world.

Above the charred earth.

Numerous stone statues, wood carvings, and strange objects made of gold and iron, like the possessions of foreign gods, wander between heaven and earth.

These things, constructed in the form of alien gods, are still fighting each other.

There were also aliens with silver wings on their backs, who, with a wave of their hands, could summon thunder that hung in the air like a waterfall, and used it to attack the alien god puppets and the aliens on the warships.

In the center of the earth, there is a broken city and a scene of ruins.

In the rocks used to cast the city, there are many colorful lightning twisting, as if evolving the many mysteries of the Thunder Road.

Those alien races with silver wings on their backs were attacking the puppets of foreign gods in the middle and on the edge of the broken city, as if they were guarding their own homes.

"Luo Yuan!"

Bai He screamed, "How dare you come here? Get out now!"

The dark yellow flag floating high in the sky caught Bai He's eye, and the evil eyes that emerged from the holes in it instantly locked onto Pang Jian.

"The ruler of the Hell Soul Bee!"

As soon as the Insighter opened his mouth, countless chaotic whispers sounded at the same time.

Hundreds of green ants crawled out from His hole-like pupils, took a look at Pang Jian, and then shrank back in fear.

"The Queen Bee has appeared and has completed the initial advancement."

The seer was horrified.
