Chapter 242 Space Turbulence
The further they walked, the more blurred the river became, until it eventually became completely unreal.
At this moment, facing the drafty space in front of him, Shen Xu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He had no teleportation array to protect him, and every step he took was a struggle with death.
Just as he felt there was no problem in one direction and was about to take another step, Qi Lingbaihe suddenly tapped his head, the clear touch immediately waking him up.
However, the feeling conveyed to him by the mist was that there was nothing wrong with the space in front of him, and the mist he was manipulating did not disappear into the space in front of him at all. This result made him frown.
Seeing that Shen Xu had lingered in one place for a long time, Li Xiaoyi, who was behind him, couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem up ahead?"
"I'm not sure, I need to do some experiments." Shen Xu began to manipulate the surrounding fog, constantly washing over the space in front of him, and the thick fog began to surge into the space in front of him.
Ignoring the fog that had disappeared into the distance, he closed his eyes and focused on the changes in the fog a short distance in front of him.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, took out a piece of animal bone and gently threw it to a spot in front of him. It encountered no obstruction, but the animal bone broke into two smooth halves after landing.
Seeing this, all the women felt a chill run down their spines, and then looked at Shen Xu with shock, "Was he just leading us around this kind of thing?"
Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. If he had taken that step, he would have been cut in two, because the line of mist that was cutting him was right at his chest.
At the same time, he was also deeply puzzled, "If it's not a spatial rift, then what could it be?" Such a tiny line would be impossible to detect if he didn't perceive it carefully.
Touching the Praying White Crane on his body as a token of gratitude, Shen Xu looked ahead with a heavy heart. It seemed that he would not only need to be wary of the ubiquitous spatial rifts, but also of these extremely difficult-to-detect spatial lines.
The mist swept over the surroundings once more. Shen Xu focused his mind on sensing the changes in the mist in every inch of the space around him, and then took a firm step in one direction.
As she passed the spot where Shen Xu had just stopped, Bai Lu manipulated the mist to continuously wash over the space near the beast bones that had been cut in half. However, apart from the mist that kept disappearing into the distance, she did not find anything unusual.
Time passed slowly, and the group had never felt time go by so slowly. The seemingly short journey actually felt incredibly long.
Just as Shen Xu confirmed that there was no problem ahead and took another step, he felt a very strange sensation, somewhat like the feeling he had when passing through the teleportation array, but completely different from the feeling of passing through the teleportation array.
He sensed something deeper in his previous step, but he couldn't quite articulate what it was.
But at that moment, he had no time to carefully savor the feeling he had just experienced, because he only felt that the scene before him suddenly began to change rapidly. The surrounding scenery was like a dream, with light and shadow intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
In this chaotic space, all matter seemed to have lost its original form, as if it were being kneaded at will by an invisible giant hand, plunging the entire world into chaos.
Everything seemed so illusory and distorted. The spatial rifts had materialized, like hideous wounds spreading across the void, releasing powerful energy fluctuations that sent chills down one's spine. Meanwhile, the spatial turbulence was like a raging vortex, frantically pulling at everything around it.
Shen Xu stared at the scene before him, his face turning deathly pale. He immediately cried out, "No..."
However, before he could even finish his warning to the people behind him not to come closer, a surging spatial turbulence, like a ferocious beast, instantly swept over him.
Before losing consciousness, he vaguely felt a cold, icy hand tightly gripping his hand.
……
A long caravan was slowly traveling along the wide road. The dense canopies of the huge green trees on both sides cast large shadows on the road, making it look like a verdant arched passage from a distance.
"Master, we should be able to return to Fumo City in about two days. Madam and Young Master must be getting impatient."
"This trade trip did take up too much time, but finding that thing makes it worthwhile." A middle-aged man in the middle of the caravan stroked his long beard with a smile.
"If Young Master Xi knew that you brought him such a thing, I wonder how happy he would be!" the caravan manager said with a smile.
"By the way, how is the person you rescued by the river, Miss?"
“Miss has been having Xiaoling take care of him all this time, but his injuries are too severe, and he hasn’t shown any signs of waking up. Master, didn’t you say that we should mind our own business when we’re out and about? So why did you agree to let Miss go and save a stranger?”
"If I'm not mistaken, he must have some cultivation level, otherwise he wouldn't have survived until we discovered him. It's such a pity that such a young man died."
I don't expect him to be of any help to us; I just hope he doesn't cause us any trouble. Let's get rid of him when he wakes up!
"The master and young lady are just too kind-hearted," the steward couldn't help but sigh.
Amidst the jolting of the carriage, Shen Xu painfully opened his eyes.
"Where is this place?" Shen Xu struggled to sit up, but the intense pain in his body forced him to give up the idea.
The clattering of hooves outside, combined with his cramped surroundings, made him realize that he was probably inside a carriage.
Shen Xu closed his eyes and began to recall what had happened before. He only remembered that after he took that step in Shuanghe Village, he saw a terrifying shattered space, and then he encountered a spatial turbulence. Finally, Li Xiaoyi seemed to have pulled him back.
Li Xiaoyi and Qi Lingbaihe must have been swept into the spatial turbulence along with him; it's just unknown whether the others heard his warning.
He was lucky to survive, but what about the others...?
However, it seemed that everyone else besides him had the Sword Alliance's teleportation array pattern. Thinking of this, Shen Xu felt relieved and began to check his current physical condition.
He had many external wounds, but not many scratches, which made him realize that he hadn't been in that spatial turbulence for very long, otherwise his body wouldn't be so intact.
However, his body was covered in purplish-blue bruises. Although the presence of blood made these bruises not particularly difficult to treat, he still wanted to know how they were caused.
Was he beaten up?
Moreover, when he felt the vortex of vital energy in his dantian had already mostly dissipated, his heart sank.
It really is true what they say: a year of hard work can be wiped out overnight.
However, he was already incredibly lucky to have survived the spatial turbulence; everything else was trivial.
As long as he is alive, there is still hope, and with the foundation he has built, it is not difficult to reassemble the vortex of vital energy.
Suddenly, Shen Xu remembered something and hurriedly looked to his right hand. He was relieved to find that the storage ring was still there.
All his wealth was inside, and the most important item, the Yuan Storage Jade Bottle, was also inside.
If that jade bottle is lost, it's no different from killing him, because the Kunyuan Secret Realm will be his burial place soon.
Moreover, when he woke up, he found that the energy around him was very mixed, and if he absorbed it directly, it would probably pollute his dantian.
In this situation, whether it's replenishing vital energy or rebuilding the vital energy vortex, the extremely pure vital energy inside the storage jade bottle is indispensable.
