Chapter 94 - Fall Off a Cliff (1/2)
The flower path seems to be long, but it’s actually not. With Li Xi’er talking continuously, no one feels “bored” along the way.
Lin Luoran casts the spell Wen Guanjing taught her and drops some blood on the sack and marks it with her spirit. Though there is no time for her to refine the sack, n.o.body in the similar level with her will be able to open it.
She is fairly disappointed after opening the sack. The famous “Universal Sack” only has a one-cubic meter s.p.a.ce in it, which is mostly occupied by compressed food. A jade slip is sitting in the corner.
The sack, just like the bead, is also controlled by spirit. The moment Lin Luoran thinks about taking out the jade slip, it appears in her palm.
Ten light spots are s.h.i.+ning on it, and they are very close with each other. Lin Luoran looks at Wen Guanjing who says,
“Sister Lin, this is the jade slip that connects us. We can find each other as long as we are in certain range… It also shows some places where the ancestors have found treasures. Those treasures may be plants which used to be too small to be pulled up or they didn’t have the time to do it. We can check on them one by one this time.”
Seeing that Lin Luoran is listening carefully, Wen adds, “This month is the dormancy period of monsters. Still, we should not go too close to the central area. It is dangerous, and we may not have enough time to return from there.”
Lin Luoran nods. Time pa.s.ses fast when they are talking. When Lin Luoran looks up again, they have arrived at a golden gate.
She puts away the jade slip. The gate is made up of several tall pillars and a stone plaque with some tadpole-like characters written on it. Lin Luoran has no clue what the characters mean. Except cultivators from the State of Huaxia, no one else is around. The others have already been in the land.
Between the pillars, there is a light curtain which prevents them from seeing behind the gate.
“Let’s go!” Before Wen Guanjing asks everybody to hold hands, Li Xi’er, who is in high spirit, drags Lin Luoran through the light curtain.
Wen Guanjing fails to pull them back. He turns around and asks the others with a sullen face, “Did I tell you that we will land in different places if we go through the curtain separately?”
They look at each other and shake their heads…
*****************************
Lin Luoran wasn’t able to react before Li Xi’er dragged her through the light curtain. The second she steps inside, Lin Luoran feels that she is falling down… Wind spikes her hair. Instinctively, Lin Luoran grabs Li Xi’er and tries to open her eyes. Then she realizes that both of them are falling!
It is a misty, dark and bottomless valley!
Li Xi’er also realizes that they are falling. She screams, “Sister, help! Ah!”
Li’s new elder sister Lin Luoran is tightly grabbed by her and has no spare hand to save her…
Lin Luoran knows that she must stay calm, or they will die in a few seconds. The treasures in the secret land are not important for now. They will turn into pastes if they fall to the ground like this.
