“Hu—”
The space ripples passed over everyone’s head like surging tides and level-nine hurricanes.
Everybody felt that countless invisible hands were grabbing them and pulling them in different directions.
For a moment, their bodies were translucent and unpredictable. They were even beginning to melt like heated candles.
Before they had the chance to exclaim, they were blown into the air by the space ripples and fell into the ubiquitous wrinkles.
It was a familiar feeling for Theresa.
She had tasted a similar feeling countless times during her space jumps.
It was like bungee jumping where the rope on one’s body accidentally broke and one fell into a bottomless abyss.
“Sure enough, is it some kind of teleportation array?”
Theresa secretly clicked her tongue. “It is truly unbelievable that a super-large teleportation array hundreds of kilometers in diameter can exist on a planet stably.
.
“In the Pangu Universe, we had such a large teleportation array, too, but it could only be built in the orbit outside of the planet’s atmosphere because it could not solve the problem of the space ripples disrupting the stable space.
“The escape fleet of the Primeval Civilization that fled to the Jadeite Continent thousands of years ago is indeed very advanced!
She closed her eyes and calmed herself down. She curled up her limbs and waited patiently for the teleportation to be over, trying to minimize the impact of the space ripples on her internal organs and her soul.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Deep inside her soul, a springy ‘catch’ seemed to have appeared and pulled her hard.
The howling wind around her was much weaker. The soft feeling under her feet gradually turned solid and stable. She sensed her limbs, head, and internal organs again.
The transmigration ended.
“Is this the Blood Demon Sector?”
Theresa opened her eyes slowly. She held her saber with one hand and was ready to launch attack spells with the other. She observed the world around her with great interest.
As he expected, the super-large teleportation array connecting the Heaven’s Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector must’ve been partly damaged. It had lost the ability to lock onto the corresponding location and gather a large number of people automatically.
She and her sisters in Black Jack’s harem should’ve been randomly distributed within a range of dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers. They could not see each other.
Thankfully, she had been hugging Princess Summer until the last moment. Their distribution coordinates should be relatively close.
Theresa’s heart was beating fast. She took a deep breath and immediately felt the cold, damp, stinky, and thick, with the vague smell of sulfur and rust.
The ‘demonic energy’ that was unbearable for ordinary people, on the other hand, gave a strange sense of familiarity to Theresa. Wasn’t her hometown, the ‘foreign land of the martial world’, a harsh environment with dirty air?
“Even the Unholy Land of Blood failed to trap me. I’m not scared of you at all!
Theresa stuck out her tongue and made a face at someone. She raised her nose and observed the environment.
The surroundings were still enveloped in a layer of faint mist. Purple, tawny, dark green, deep blue… The air here seemed to have been washed in a seven-colored dye bottle. The entire world seemed to be a painting of crazy imagination. Visibility was extremely low.
However, despite the low visibility, Theresa could tell that there was no sky in the Blood Demon Sector. Naturally, she could not see any stars or satellites, either.
Every few hundred meters, a lackluster light source would be distributed on the dome, bringing light and heat that were better than nothing to the unpredictable world.
“Isn’t this the surface of a certain planet?”
Theresa thought to herself, If it were a habitable planet, I would definitely be able to see the sun and the stars, just like I could see the sun clearly during the day in the Jadeite Continent.
“Even if it is an extremely twisted world fragment, there shouldn’t be such a well-arranged light source in the ‘sky’. It is clearly man-made.
She looked around and discovered that she seemed to be in a complicated canyon.
The two sides of the cliff were steep cliffs that were covered in all kinds of suspicious vines and humus. Colorful, weird-looking tapestries seemed to be hanging on them. They dangled and extended to her feet, soft and squishy when she stepped on them.
Theresa picked up some humus with the tip of her saber and rubbed it carefully.
“The texture seems to be a combination of moss and earthworms. If it is not poisonous, it should be edible, and it contains abundant energy. It is a good energy supplier for the bottom level of the food chain.”
Although she looked devastatingly beautiful, Theresa was not a delicate girl. In order to survive, she and the people of her hometown had been eating synthesized food all year round. In order to improve their lives, earthworms, mice, and all kinds of insects were edible.
“Interesting. What is the so-called ‘Bloody Demon Sector’ exactly?”
Theresa thought for a moment and reversed her saber. She clenched it and stabbed it into the wriggling humus below her feet.
However, when the body of the saber was more than halfway in, it hit something as hard as iron and failed to pierce in.
No matter how hard Theresa tried or where she stabbed, the result was the same. When she was one meter below the ground, she would touch the solid ground. Even if the tip of the saber was broken off, she would not be able to dig half a centimeter deeper.
“How interesting. Beneath the living humus that is almost one meter thick is something solid and flat. Is it metal?”
Theresa thought to herself, If it were a rock, it would not have been so flat. It should’ve had certain curves. Only man-made scenes have such vertical and horizontal features.
Straightening her back, she gazed into the distance. From the cliffs on both sides, she saw rows of semicircular bumps that looked like dragons that were hanging down from the sky to the ground.
Although covered by the vines and the humus, the arrangement of the ‘dragons’ was still too regular. Theresa pondered for a moment and discovered that it was something very familiar to her.
“It’s a tube!”
“So,” Theresa said to herself, “the ‘crags’ that are lined with so many tubes are not natural landscapes, but a large artificial structure. This is not a canyon but a super-large channel inside a large structure?
“The pathway alone is already so enormous. I wonder how magnificent and complicated the entire structure is!”
Theresa thought of the starships of the Pangu Civilization.
He felt that ants were crawling in a palace of giants.
But she was not too shocked, because it was within her expectations.
“As I expected, the Blood Demon Sector does not seem to be naturally-occurring. It is more like a man-made object. I was right!”
