Chapter 047 – The Army of Faceless Figurines (2/2)
“En?” Mr. Wu regained his senses, and as he stared at the screen in the light, suddenly looked distracted, only reacting after a while with a face of disbelief: “This, in Labyrinth of Spirits, I should be able to see everything clearly, but how…”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Tang Tian opened his eyes, a hint of light flashing in his eyes, his True Power trembled, ‘Pa!’, countless black particles exploded from his body, all the charred parts of his body, was all shaken off. The jet black Tang Tian, regained his original form. He stood up with a smiling face.
His body was overflowing with True Power. In one growth, he broke through to the late stage third level True Power, attaining a perfect condition.
Because his True Power now touched the wall, it was an indicator that his third tier Dantian pool was full.
Tang Tian looked at Wang Zhen who was lying on the floor, still in a coma.
“Wu, you were a not bad opponent, so I won’t steal from you. Aye, such a pity, less of a chance of reaping spoils of war….” Tang Tian pouted, he did not hesitate, looked at the cave above his head, and sprung himself up.
As Tang Tian passed the light screen, an attractive force came from above.
This attractive force was very sudden and surprising, causing Tang Tian to not be able to react in time, and just experience his world revolve. He did not notice that the Southern Cross Constellation mark on his palm had lit up.
After an unknown period of time.
Plop!
Tang Tian dropped into water as ice cold as sea water, that consistently slapped onto Tang Tian’s face. Tang Tian’s giddy and heavy head only woke up after a while.
Yi, why is there a sea here? Didn’t Wang Zhen say that there should be a Spirit Key?
Tang Tian looked around at his surroundings. Suddenly, he saw a little black dot far across the sea.
Over there!
Tang Tian mind was suddenly roused, he immediately used a bit of True Power, and leaped onto the sea surface.
“Wa wa wa, watch my Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada, rush rush rush, Spirit Key, here I come!”
Tang Tian rally cry resounded across the sea as he brought about a wall of water while running rapidly towards the little black dot. Tang Tian’s current third level of True Power was at it’s peak, with his long enduring qi meridians, he used Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada and flew at a high speed.
Six hours later.
Tang Tian gasped for breath, he had exhausted almost all of his True Power. The little black dot looked close, but it was actually very far. In the end, Tang Tian could only swim desperately across the sea towards the little island.
Hu hu hu… what’s with this broken Spirit Key… it’s meant to torture people only….
Tang Tian’s heart was angry on one side, and struggling to keep his hands and legs moving on the other. When he swam nearer, he realised that, there was a very high stone wall, roughly about 5000 m across the entire sea.
It was really magnificent!
But, it was definitely hard to climb….
Tang Tian had to use energy to slowly climb…
Flattening his feet, numerous blocks of rocks in front of him, spreading neatly like checkered squares, spread out all the way beyond his eyes can reach. As Tang Tian’s eyes followed the walls to the far end, he became stunned.
Over there, was an incomparably enormous army, standing across each other. The number of spears made it look like a forest, a ashen black piece of land, with one look it was impossible to see the end, the army was very still, with an indescribable killing aura emitting from them. The astonishing army, did not even make a single sound, deadly silence that could cause anyone to tremble in fear.
This this this….
Tang Tian’s face was pale white, he garnered up courage, look at the scene before him, and still trembled in fear again.
I, I, I….walked…walked to the wrong place….
Tang Tian’s teeth trembled, but he could not make any sound, as the image in his eyes, totally took over the amount of stress his heart could handle. Tang Tian’s calves and abdomen shivered in fear, as his mind went blank.
As time went by, the army in front of him still did not move at all.
Dead silence, it was an entire place of dead silence.
Tang Tian slowly regained his senses and his brain became active again. En, what is happening?
He hesitated for a while, very doubtful, there were so many people here, so he could not even try to run.
“Hey hey hey, where is this?”
Tang Tian shouted while carefully moving forward, his face was full on alert, as long as he saw something wrong, he would immediately run.
No one replied.
Tang Tian felt that something was off, as he slowly progress forward. The nearby troops yet did not notice anything.
It was dead silence!
Tang Tian swallowed his saliva, he was on edge and very afraid.
Tang Tian walked to the front of the army, then actually released his breath. After the entire day of trouble, only to find that they were not real people. Almost scared him to death! Tang Tian saw clearly, this was definitely an army, but it was an army of figurines.
Grey figurines, life-sized, all welding spears. They were really life-like.
Except, they did not have faces!
None of the figurines had a face, and on each of their heads was a blank white board. Countless faceless figurines, standing there silently, with a neat and orderly formation, stretching far out, not able to see the end.
Tang Tian’s heart shivered like never before, his face becoming pale.
This… What is this place?
