Chapter 949 Mysterious Gas
"Bone Ruins..."
Lin Qiye looked in the direction where the seven alien races had disappeared.
He didn't chase after them.
It's not that we can't catch up, it's that there's no need.
He came here to buy medicine, not to kill someone.
The medicine has been purchased.
We'll talk about the rest when we get back.
He touched the two black jade bottles in his arms.
The jade bottle felt slightly cool to the touch, and even through the fabric, one could feel the warmth of the elixir inside.
Top grade Yuan Qing Dan.
The female therapist said that the child had an excess of primal energy in his body, which suppressed his primal bones. Only a high-grade elixir could completely resolve this.
Two top-grade ones should be enough.
"It's time to go back."
Lin Qiye turned around and walked back the way he came.
soon.
A low-frequency vibration suddenly came from the soles of Lin Qiye's feet.
It wasn't the dull thud of someone stepping on the ash layer.
The tremor was coming from deep underground.
It looked like something huge had turned over underground.
The vibrations were very rhythmic, one after another, like a heartbeat.
Lin Qiye suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He lowered his head.
The layer of ashes beneath the boot was trembling slightly.
The tremor did not originate from top to bottom.
It's from bottom to top.
Immediately afterwards—
Click.
A crisp sound came from the soles of my feet.
Lin Qiye's pupils shrank suddenly, and he retreated three zhang backward like an arrow released from a bow.
Right where he had just stood, a crack suddenly appeared in the layer of ashes.
The gap wasn't big, only about the width of a finger.
But from that crack, a stream of fluorescent blue gas was slowly seeping out.
The gas was completely different from the grayish-white flocculent matter that fell from the sky above the Bone Ruins.
It carries a strange vitality.
It is not the vitality of living things.
It is a kind of... rule that is growing and thriving.
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed.
He had seen this aura before.
In his original universe, when the abyssal rift opened and the laws of the abyss eroded the boundaries of the secondary universe, a similar aura would be generated.
That is not matter.
It is the law.
It is some kind of higher-dimensional rule that is awakening beneath the earth in this wasteland.
Click.
Another crisp sound.
This time it wasn't just a crack.
It is ten.
Twenty dishes.
Fifty.
It started from Lin Qiye's feet and spread in all directions.
The layer of ashes was as if cut open by an invisible blade, with countless cracks crisscrossing the surface of the wasteland.
Fluorescent blue gas was seeping out from each crack.
The gases began to change immediately upon contact with the ashes outside.
The ashes were dyed a fluorescent blue color and then crystallized rapidly.
Translucent crystals pierced through the cracks, twisting and growing like living things.
The crystals do not resemble the shape of any natural mineral.
They twist, rotate, and intertwine, forming a geometric structure that defies all the laws of nature.
Each crystal was emitting a piercing harmonic shriek.
The sound was like glass rubbing together, or like metal screaming.
Dozens, even hundreds, of shrill whistles overlapped, creating a noise so intense it could drive a person mad.
Lin Qiye felt as if countless needles were piercing his head at the same time.
"This is--"
He didn't finish his sentence.
Because he has already moved.
His body transformed into a dark golden streak of light, retreating rapidly away from the crack.
But the growth rate of those crystals far exceeded his expectations.
He retreated, and they chased.
He swept across the layer of ashes, the ground beneath his feet crystallizing layer by layer behind him.
The rate at which the crystallization occurred was almost the same as the rate at which he fled.
Do not--
He's even faster than him.
Lin Qiye's eyes turned cold.
He suddenly accelerated.
At this moment, he pushed the source energy within his body to its limit.
Dark golden light exploded around him, forming a blurry afterimage.
However, the spread of the crystals is still accelerating.
What was originally a crack the thickness of a finger has now expanded to the thickness of an arm.
The crystals emerging from the cracks are getting bigger and bigger.
The thickest one is as thick as an adult's waist.
They twist, rotate, and intertwine to form layers of crystal walls.
Between the crystal walls is a fluorescent blue gas.
The gas was so thick it was almost solidified.
Lin Qiye moved between the crystal walls.
The tip of the spear swept across, shattering the crystals that were trying to block his path.
The crystal fragments he shattered immediately regenerated as soon as they hit the ground.
Not only does it regrow.
It will continue to spread to the surrounding areas.
"Living creatures."
Lin Qiye's eyes were icy cold.
These crystals are not ordinary minerals.
They are some kind of living thing.
Or rather, it is some kind of semi-living entity driven by laws.
They are devouring bone ashes.
It absorbs source gas.
They are constantly expanding their territory.
Everything they touch will be assimilated.
Lin Qiye dared not let the fluorescent blue gas get close to his body.
He didn't know if that thing would erode his body.
We need to get out of here.
He accelerated again.
Dark golden light weaves through the crystal clusters.
Crystals spread out behind him like a tide.
The feeling was like an unseen giant beast chasing him from underground.
It has no physical form.
But its "mouth" is those ever-spreading crystals.
Lin Qiye weaved through the crystal clusters.
The fluorescent blue crystal walls grew denser and thicker, pressing in on him from all directions.
His space for maneuver is getting smaller and smaller.
He swept out with his spear, shattering a thick crystal pillar that was thrusting toward his face.
Fragments flew everywhere, and immediately grew back after landing.
The new crystals are coarser and denser than the old ones.
"Buzz—"
A low-frequency resonance came from deep underground.
The sound was like some kind of huge heartbeat.
Each time it rings, all the surrounding crystal pillars light up simultaneously, their patterns as clear as pulsating blood.
Then--
Resonance begins.
Dozens of crystal pillars vibrated simultaneously, emitting extremely sharp harmonics.
The sound penetrated the eardrums, the sea of consciousness, and the depths of the soul.
Lin Qiye felt a sharp pain in his head.
"boom--!"
The first crystal pillar exploded.
There were no signs.
The entire crystal pillar broke in the middle into countless tiny bone fragments, which then scattered in all directions.
Then came the second, the third, the tenth, the fiftieth...
chain reaction.
The crystals that had spread across the entire wasteland shattered at the same moment when the resonance reached its limit!
"Bang bang bang bang bang-!"
A series of cracking sounds echoed across the wasteland.
Countless tiny bone fragments flew like a blizzard, blotting out the sky.
The fluorescent blue gas dissipated rapidly during the explosion.
Crystal growth has stopped.
The spread has stopped.
The eerie "beast" that had been chasing Lin Qiye seemed to have never existed in the instant it exploded.
Lin Qiye stood still, his spear held horizontally in front of him.
His robes were covered in fine crystalline powder, and there were several bloody scratches on his cheeks.
But he couldn't care less about any of that.
He was staring ahead.
In the open space left after the crystal cluster exploded, a huge shallow crater was blasted into the layer of ashes.
In the center of the shallow pit, a black stone tablet half-buried in ashes was exposed.
The stone tablet was not large, about three feet tall, and its surface was covered with cracks.
The shapes of those cracks don't resemble those of natural weathering.
It resembles some kind of writing.
