Chapter 108: The old man in the abyss

At the bottom of the abyss, it was pitch dark.  There was no light at all, nor could there be any kind of light existing.  But, right as Ye Tian Xie was taking out the elemental illumination light that little girl Sha Sha had given him in Falling Wind Town, Guo Guo's voice suddenly drew his attention, ”Yi, yi?  Master, there seems to be something s.h.i.+ning over there.  It keeps sparkling, just like…..Just like a star in the sky.”

He was clearly in the dark, yet Ye Tian Xie found it strange that he could clearly make out Guo Guo's body.  Her body seemed to be releasing a strange light that allowed people to clearly see her…..But this light seemed to have no effects on her surroundings which was still covered in darkness.

In this dark world, there was a little girl half the size of a normal person's arm floating around with a face full of curiosity.  This kind of scene made Ye Tian Xie surprised.  It had to be said, Guo Guo had too many strange things on her body.

Looking at the direction that Guo Guo was pointing in, Ye Tian Xie immediately saw the little glow she was referring to.  In this completely dark world, the single light to exist was very easy to identify.  Only it was very small, so small that it could almost be ignored……But this was also indicating that perhaps, this was the light coming from a tiny object, or the light coming from an object far away.

”Let's go take a look.”  Ye Tian Xie's hand circled around in the air and caught Guo Guo who was fluttering around.  He placed her on his shoulder and walked in the direction of the light.

What was strange was the fact that the floor of this ten thousand feet abyss was incredibly smooth.  Not to mention the floor being rugged, there weren't even loose pebbles for him to step on.  This made it hard for Ye Tian Xie to not be suspicious.  Naturally formed abysses would have irregular holes all over the ground, it would not be as flat as this.  Perhaps…..this was all man made!?

The ground under Ye Tian Xie slightly trembled……A dark world at the bottom of the abyss, then, would there be terrifying monsters that would appear?  Or would there be other strange things that would appear?  After all, it took a miracle just to reach this map, so this map shouldn't exist just for the reason of being here.

After walking for about half an hour, the path was still smooth.  Ye Tian Xie had not b.u.mped into any walls or stone barriers and had not stumbled over anything at all.  The small light that was in front of him grew much bigger than when he first saw it.  Moreover, after getting closer, the weak light made Ye Tian Xie feel a strange emotion within his heart……A kind of feeling that was hard to describe.  But if he had to describe it……It would be a kind of pulsing feeling in his body and soul.  As if he felt  a premonition that something was about to happen, or as if something was resonating with him.

”Ta, ta, ta, ta……”

The sounds of Ye Tian Xie's footsteps clearly rang out in this quiet world.  Slowly, the light became stronger and stronger in his eyes.  It became bigger and bigger as the originally small dot of light turned into a ma.s.s of light.  After walking for another while, Ye Tian Xie had unknowingly arrived in front of the glow.  His body was almost touching the source of the light.

This is……

A crystal?  A crystal that could emit light?

This ball, which had a diameter of around one meter, was lifted up by a meter high stone platform.  It was completely transparent.  It was hard to tell where the peaceful white light emitted by it was coming from.  Although the light was not intense, it was still enough to clearly s.h.i.+ne through this dark world.

”Wa oh, such a large gla.s.s ball.  It can even release light…..Yi?  How strange, why can it release light?”  Guo Guo's little body was circling around the ”large gla.s.s ball”.  At the bottom of this abyss, the appearance of something like this seemed very magical.

”Yi……”  Guo Guo gave another yi sound and her body stopped moving.  She slowly moved forward until she was almost lying on the gla.s.s bead, ”Master, look quickly.  There seems to be something inside of this gla.s.s bead!”

”Un, I can see it.”  Ye Tian Xie replied.  His eyebrows knit together as he looked at what was lying inside the glowing crystal ball……In the centre, there was actually a sleeping……life form!

And when he saw it for the first time, Ye Tian Xie was sure that this was a fox.  It was a little fox that was different from a normal fox.  The first thing he thought of was the incomparably valuable snow fox that he had seen on the television once.

The fur on the little fox's body did not have any impurities, it was white without any kinds of flaws.  This white was the most pure kind of white, just like snow falling down from the sky.  It's body was very small, it was around the same size as Guo Guo.  There were two small white ears standing up and its nose was black as black diamonds.  Its eyes were closed and it was silently lying down in the centre of the crystal ball……Lying there like that, it was hard to tell how many years it had been there for.

At the bottom of this abyss, there was this snow white fox that was sealed inside this crystal ball……This kind of magical sight began to entrance Ye Tian Xie.  He reached out his hand and tried to touch the crystal ball in front of him.

”Don't touch it!”

The voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy stone cras.h.i.+ng into his heart.  Ye Tian Xie could not help but feel his heart and body trembling.  The hand he reached out was stopped in the air and he raised his head, squinting his eyes as he looked forward……The person who surprised him with his voice did not hide where his voice was coming from……It was coming from right in front of him.

”Wa!  It's a voice, it's a voice.  There's actually someone down here…..What kind of person could it be?”

Guo Guo was surprised and excited, while Ye Tian Xie's heart filled with doubts……This kind of mysterious map in the Destiny world, it has to be hiding something mysterious…..
