Monarch of Evernight: 165 Unstable Channel
bsp;Qianye stood quietly on the spot until the initial strengthening of his internal organs was completed, then he slowly walked towards the forest. Along the way, he scanned the surroundings with his true seeing eyes to guard against unexpected events.
Just the abnormally high gravity makes this world dangerous enough. And it also brings invisible threats. Even the strong human beings need to use the Force to protect their internal organs at all times. After all, their bodies are far less powerful than Qianye. This is quite unfavorable for the human race, and the force consumption will be significantly more than that of the dark race.
There is nothing unusual at the outer edge of the forest. Under the ancient trees, there is bare soil and moss, and only some low grass can be seen occasionally. It seemed that this was no different from the forests of the Empire or Evernight, except for one thing: Qianye didn't recognize almost all the species here.
When entering the maelstrom, the most important thing is to improve one's own strength, and the second is to find rare resources. Qianye is not worried about the first point, but is a little bit troubled by the second point. There are countless rare resources in the maelstrom, but most of them documented are located near the entrance. In a high-gravity environment like the current one, there is no data at all. How to identify what is of great use and what is of little value?
After walking for a while, something suddenly jumped in Qianye's field of vision.
Qianye immediately turned his head and looked, and the thing disappeared immediately. But now that Qianye's attention has been attracted, don't try to get away with it. Qianye walked forward slowly, carefully, and after a while, he walked around an ancient tree and looked behind him.
Tangled among the tangled tree roots is an inconspicuous stone. The stone is about half a meter in diameter and has a regular shape. The surface is covered with a layer of soil and moss. It looks like it has been here for countless years. If it hadn't been for the abnormality just now, Qianye might have ignored it even if they were face to face.
Qianye's eyes turned blue, and his True Sight eyes were activated with all his strength, staring at the stone.
Soon, Qianye discovered that it was not the stone that caused the change in the Force, but the moss attached to the stone. Qianye scraped off a small piece of moss with his fingernails, and his vision suddenly lit up. There was a blazing flame burning in the gap in the moss, which looked particularly dazzling in this dark forest. Of course, it's not that it's really burning, but that the force reacts strongly, which causes this phenomenon.
It is unimaginable that a small piece of moss contains such rich force. The light of the force in Qianye's vision quickly faded, and the moss repaired the gap by itself, no longer leaking the force.
Although the nature of the Force is not yet known, this strange moss, and perhaps the stone itself, are clearly extraordinary. Qianye carefully dug out the stone from the roots of the ancient tree and put it into Anduya's space. Unfortunately, Qianye deliberately cut open a tree root, but found nothing abnormal, at least in the field of Force.
However, Qianye gained a lot. Through this stone, he at least mastered a way to discover unknown and rare resources. In addition, these ancient trees are not completely useless. Perhaps because of gravity, the wood of the ancient trees here is extremely hard, and it would take some effort for Qianye to dig from Dongyue. If these woods are transported to the empire, they will be the best shipbuilding materials, far exceeding the known wood, and the performance can match those of the highest-grade alloys. However, top-grade alloys are expensive to make, and even the empire cannot afford to use them in large quantities. They can often only use some in the most critical parts and equipment. If an aerospace ship could be built entirely from the wood here, its performance might be unprecedented and only slightly inferior to the ancient ships of those big shots.
Unfortunately, these woods are too heavy, and Anduya's space is limited. Qianye cannot use the precious space to store some wood.
Just when Qianye was about to continue exploring the forest, he suddenly felt something in his heart and immediately climbed up an ancient tree. In the blink of an eye, he stood on the top of the tree and looked towards the sky.
The world inside the maelstrom is very strange. The sky is very deep and there are clouds, but there is no sun and no other stars. I don’t know where the skylight comes from.
At this moment, a dark ball of light appeared in the sky, with streaks of lightning surrounding it. A figure suddenly flew out of the light ball and stopped in the air.
That is not actually a ball of light, but a portal into this world. It seems that after Qianye, there is another person here now, but I don’t know whether he belongs to Yongye or the Empire, and whether Qianye recognizes him or not.
As soon as the figure left, the dark ball of light slowly disappeared. It was obvious that only one person could pass through this portal.
Compared with Qianye who came in ignorantly, this man was obviously prepared, with a Force shield shining around him to protect him firmly. It's just that although these methods can cope with most harsh environments, they have no effect on the current high gravity. The man didn't expect that the gravity would be so strong. With a cry of surprise, he fell to the earth like a meteor.
Just as Qianye fell into the lake, this man was not so lucky and fell headlong into the hard stone shore. There was a muffled sound, and the man was slapped firmly on the ground. Qianye's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he instinctively felt the pain for him.
Far away from the horizon, there was another faint flash of light. Qianye's eyesight was very sharp and he could tell that it was another portal appearing. A figure flew out of the gatehouse and then fell to the ground as well. However, this person was obviously more powerful. When he almost fell to the ground, he adjusted himself, scraped the ground and flew up again, and then disappeared into the distance.
Qianye pondered for a moment, gathered his breath, jumped down from the tree, and quietly sneaked towards the direction where the man fell to the ground. If the people coming are from the empire, they may need a helping hand. If the person who comes is a powerful person from Yongye, then of course he must be killed while he is weak to eliminate future troubles.
The storm is gradually rising in the maelstrom, and Tingchao City is not at peace either.
The collapse of the Holy Mountain has ended, and the originally majestic Holy Mountain has been reduced to the ground. The dark light ball suspended in the air is not only half the size of the original, but also becomes looming, and dark lightning will be shot from it from time to time. Some experienced experts know that this is a sign that the space channel is beginning to become unstable.
If the passage into the maelstrom is unstable, the risk of crossing the passage will increase dramatically. The passage to the neutral ground has always existed, but no one has cared about it in the past thousands of years. It is because it is too unstable and trying to cross the passage is suicidal.
At this moment, a strong man in his early thirties was standing in front of the entrance of the passage, with sweat on his forehead and nervousness all over his face. He was covered in several layers of battle armor, and also wore multiple defensive items, which were wrapped like a turtle shell.
An old man patted him on the shoulder and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't panic. Remember to deal with it calmly after entering. This is an opportunity that the whole family has spent fifty years fighting for. Don't miss it."
The man nodded, and the tension on his face relaxed a little, replaced by determination.
"Okay, go ahead, let me help you!" The old man pushed him on the back, and the soft force wrapped around him and sent him into the passage.
But at the moment of entering the passage, the entrance of the passage suddenly fluctuated violently, and the surrounding dark thunder and lightning increased significantly. The man almost screamed, trying his best to activate the force and activate almost all the defensive accessories.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and put more force on his hands, sending the man completely into the passage. The passage fluctuated more intensely, and dark thunder and lightning surged out like a tide, almost weaving a thunder net in the passage! The man crashed into the thunder net in despair, and then the image disappeared, and the situation inside the passage could no longer be seen clearly. Only a scream filled with despair came from the entrance of the passage.
The old man's face was as sinking as water, and his hands were trembling slightly. Everyone knew that the image just now was very dangerous. The people around him were silent. In this situation, they couldn't even say words of comfort. Any kind of comfort is equivalent to putting a pinch of salt on the old man's wounds.
The old man turned around suddenly and shouted: "Let's go with me to see Song Zining!"
A moment later, in the reception room of Song Zining's flagship, the old man sat down angrily, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at Song Zining. There was not only him in the living room, but also seven or eight representatives from other parties, including aristocratic families, imperial families, and even Yan Ding. But he was sitting in the corner, and it seemed that he had realized the reality that he was just a dispensable little character.
The first person to attack was not the elder of the noble family, but an old man of the imperial family. He touched his beardless chin and said in a soft and feminine voice: "Qi Shao, it's not just our family who came to see you today. There are so many people. In fact, they all want to ask the same thing. Our family has a low position and a low position. Let me tell you first, what do you think?"
Song Zining smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang, it's okay to say it."
Eunuch Zhang said: "Then we will tell you directly. The quota and order of entering the maelstrom have been agreed upon by each family in advance. You, the seventh young master, are also present. How can our family remember that on the list of entering? There’s no Qianye in it, right? Even the second batch doesn’t have him, right?”
Song Zining’s smile did not change, he nodded and said: “That’s true, Eunuch Zhang remembers it right.”
Eunuch Zhang's face sank slightly and said: "Then our family doesn't understand why the Seventh Young Master sent Qianye into the passage first? It would be fine if there were no changes in the passage, but now it is obvious that as the old prince said It is expected that if one person enters this passage, it will become a bit dangerous. Now the passage is extremely unstable and it is impossible for anyone to enter. There are still two people on our first batch of lists who have not entered. This matter is seven. What should I say?"
Before Song Zining could speak, the old man from the aristocratic family slammed the table and shouted: "My nephew has just entered the passage, and he is already in danger! Not to mention the many resources that our Lu family has accumulated over the years, my nephew is one of the most powerful members of the clan. The first genius in fifty years! You must give us an explanation for this matter, otherwise, our Lu family is not easy to bully!"
Song Zining gently shook his folding fan and said calmly: "Do you want me to give you an explanation?"
"Exactly!"
"Humph, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense if you don't explain it, right?"
"Human life is at stake, this is not something you can get away with."
Song Zining said calmly: "I have told you a long time ago that the passage is already unstable and no more people can enter. Your Lu family insists on fighting for this slim chance of survival. Who can blame you?"
Elder Lu was furious and said: "If you hadn't sent Qianye into the passage first and occupied a quota, how could what happened today be possible!?"
