195 The Blood Moon In the Firmament
Shen Changling walked over and patted his shoulder. He asked, “What are you thinking about?”
The moment he patted Wu Hai’s shoulder, an indescribable chill spread from his palm, as if he had patted an ice cube instead of a human.
Wu Hai suddenly raised his head. His eyes were in a state of chaos. His gaze was like a fish that had been stranded on the shore. He kept rolling his eyes. This state was obviously abnormal.
The corners of his mouth were pulled to the sides, forming a strange arc. He twitched and replied, “You guys are disturbing… A long sleep… Deserve to die…”
His words were also vague, and everyone was still unclear about the situation.
Wu Hai suddenly pressed on the wall next to him. As if he had triggered some mechanism, the dark solidified blood around him seemed to have melted, and countless drops of blood flowed down the wall.
Everyone was shocked to see so much blood flowing out of the wall. Those who didn’t know would think that it was some living creature. The sea of blood instantly surged up to everyone’s feet, twisting and wriggling, looking very strange.
Wu Hai’s figure ran far away and disappeared at a strange speed. In the end, he even revealed an extremely treacherous smile.
Ye Xuan had a bad feeling and shouted, “Run!”
But it was too late.
“Boom boom boom!”
A huge crack appeared on the ground, and a cold wind blew in their faces. There was a huge suction force that sucked everyone in.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Shen Changling, He Feng, and the others were sprawled on the ground beside him. Their eyes were closed, and they were obviously still unconscious.
Fortunately, there were no demonic beasts nearby. Otherwise, they would have been gnawed to death.
“Wake up.”
Ye Xuan quickly woke everyone up. Shen Changling rubbed his temples and asked, “What happened just now?”
“I’m afraid that Wu Hai is a little strange. I don’t know if he’s possessed or for something else, but we didn’t notice anything at all before that.”
They had been prepared for this, but they still suffered. Everyone sighed.
“Forget it. Fortunately, there are no casualties yet. Let’s see if we can find a way out.”
Ye Xuan clearly remembered that a huge crack had opened up at that time, and they had fallen in. Were they underground right now?
However, looking at the ominous crimson moon above his head, he didn’t think so.
The others had also discovered the strangeness of this place. The blood-red moon under the sky seemed to be soaked in blood. The surrounding scenery was extremely desolate, with strange rocks and craggy ground. The dry land was full of cracks.
The terrain here looked extremely strange. It was curved, like the long body of some kind of creature.
This thought flashed through Ye Xuan’s mind and he found it a little ridiculous.
“Could it be that we’ve fallen into an illusion?”
All of this did not seem real, but when they looked around, there were no traces of an array, which made everyone a little confused.
“What kind of space is this?”
It was a pity that none of them were proficient in illusory arrays. Otherwise, they should be able to see if this was a formation or not.
Every array would have an array core. If this was really an illusion array, they just had to break the array core.
“No matter what, this is definitely not a place to stay for long. We’d better hurry and find a way out.”
Ye Xuan recalled the strange smile on Wu Hai’s face when he disappeared. Things weren’t that simple.
Fortunately, no one was injured and they began to look for a way out. Ye Xuan didn’t notice that as they walked, the blood moon in the sky also flickered as if some kind of behemoth was watching their movements.
However, no matter where Ye Xuan and the others walked, the surrounding scenery did not change at all. The blood moon was always hanging high in the sky, and the desolate scenery did not change at all. The undulating hills seemed close at hand, but they were actually far away.
No matter how far Ye Xuan walked, the distance between the hills remained unchanged.
“We aren’t stuck in a ghostly maze just like in the forest, right? If we continue like this, we won’t be able to get out even if we walk for a lifetime.”
There seemed to be some kind of restriction here. Halfway through flying, they would encounter an inexplicable resistance and fall down, unable to continue flying.
Everyone was dejected, but Ye Xuan looked at the blood moon in the sky, deep in thought.
The most eye-catching thing here was probably the moon in the sky. Was such a huge blood moon real…?
Ye Xuan summoned the Penglai Immortal Beasts. Since he had lost consciousness earlier, the Penglai Immortal Beasts had confirmed that he was not in danger and returned to the beast space.
Now that the Penglai Immortal Beasts had come out again, they also noticed that this place was not ordinary.
[Do you guys know where this is?]
[I don’t know, but there’s a strong and terrifying aura.]
Ye Xuan didn’t know if it was an illusion, but after the Penglai Immortal Beasts came out, the feeling of being spied on intensified.
He raised his head to look at the sky. The huge blood moon was incomparably full, and its color had become redder.
“Was the moon this big earlier?”
Ye Xuan’s sudden question stunned everyone for a moment, and then they also looked up and found that the blood moon was unbelievably large.
“I don’t think so…” Shen Changling said with uncertainty.
Previously, everyone had been looking for a way out, so they didn’t care about the size of the moon above their heads.
However, considering the uniqueness of this place, it didn’t seem strange that the moon was bigger.
The Penglai Immortal Beasts also raised their heads to look at the blood moon in the sky. At this time, the blood moon was so close that it could almost be picked up by reaching out.
The gaze that followed them like a shadow became even more scorching as if it was about to touch the fur of the Penglai Immortal Beasts and as if it wanted to tear them apart and swallow them.
“F*ck!!!”
The words that came out of nowhere gave everyone a huge shock.
