361 Becoming Nutrient for the Spiritual Domain
Su Bai and the others still did not know what the danger in front of them was. It was only right for them to be depressed now.
“Then are we jumping in?” Bing Qingqing asked as she looked at the vortex that was getting closer and sighed.
Bing Qingqing wondered if she would fall to the ground if she jumped in. If she did not meet the enemy and fell all over her body, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Fortunately, Bing Qingqing had obtained quite many medicinal herbs and elixirs from Elder Koyadi’s residence. She could be of help this time.
If it was possible, Bing Qingqing really did not wish for those medicinal pills on her to come in handy so quickly.
Su Bai looked at his companions’ anxious faces. He said, “If we just stand there and don’t move, this vortex will be able to pull us to where the other party wants us to go.”
To prevent the vortex from hurting them, Su Bai used an illusion to create some bracelets. These bracelets had the power of a barrier. If they were injured, the barrier could help them offset the damage.
That way, Su Bai and his group would not be unable to react in time.
After everyone put on the bracelet Su Bai handed them, they stood still and waited for the vortex to come.
Meanwhile, in the Dwarf Kingdom.
“Your Majesty, an urgent report. Su Bai and the others seem to be in trouble! About 500 kilometers away from us, there’s a huge vortex approaching them. Do we send assistance to them?”
King Fenry asked his attendants to keep an eye on Su Bai and the others because he was afraid that they would be targeted once they left the Dwarf Kingdom. However, the other party acted really fast. Before they could react, the other party made the first move.
“Su Bai didn’t ask for help. It seems we don’t need to go help for the time being,” said King Fenry.
Su Bai’s Communication Crystal could contact King Fenry at anytime and anywhere. If Su Bai really needed help, he would use it. Naturally, Su Bai could not feel the kind-hearted help from King Fenry.
It was pitch black in front of their eyes. Su Bai and his group knew that they had been sucked into a vortex.
However, the vortex was still dark. Even after walking for a long time, they did not see any light.
“Captain, are you still there?”
“Where are we?”
As they could not see anything around them, Lu Le and the others could not help but feel a little worried.
Bing Qingqing was also curious about whether they were in the vortex or had already reached their destination.
“Captain, where are you?”
Su Bai could hear their voices, but he was not sure if they could hear each other.
“Bing Qingqing, Lu Le, can you two confirm each other’s location?”
“Captain! You’re alright. I heard Bing Qingqing’s voice on my right.”
Bing Qingqing quickly replied, “You are indeed on my left!”
Su Bai was relieved. However, when he entered the vortex, he still felt a little dizzy.
At this moment, there was no longer that feeling of spinning, which meant that the vortex had indeed sucked them into a certain place. And the place they were in now was exactly where the enemy wanted them to stay!
Su Bai frowned. He took out the portable lamp that illuminated the illusion from the Fourth Heaven.
However, one lantern was obviously not enough. Su Bai decided to take out a lot at once and give one to each of his companions.
Su Bai first saw Murong Xue’s position. She was still rather quiet and seemed to be trying to figure out her location.
Su Bai sighed and interrupted Murong Xue, “Take the lamp. We’ll explore this place together.”
Murong Xue took it from Su Bai. The two portable lamps lit up the surroundings a little brighter.
Lu Le, Bing Qingqing, and the others were not far from them. It seemed like this place was not like the Earth Abyss. It looked like a cellar.
“Captain, this place doesn’t seem big. What does the other party want to do by luring us here?”
“Not only do they want to lock us up here, but they also want to absorb our spiritual energy.”
Su Bai looked at the surrounding walls. The murals on the walls were very strange.
When Lu Le and the others heard the news, they were shocked.
“Absorbing spiritual energy from us?”
“Captain, are they trying to use us as medicinal ingredients and become their bait?!”
Bing Qingqing was shocked. She asked, “What kind of dark organization was using humans as consumables?”
Su Bai just smiled. He thought, ‘If it wasn’t some dark organization, how could we be locked up here?’
Besides, if Su Bai did not save King Fenry from the Earth Abyss, who knew how long the king would stay in the Earth Abyss or what he would become.
Murong Xue was actually a little scared, especially after Su Bai finished speaking. She trusted him very much.
Previously, when Su Bai and Murong Xue had seen the impenetrable walls of Elder Koyadi’s residence and the appearance of the dual-element Beast, she knew that some people were despicable beyond their imagination.
Having dual-element was already very difficult. Murong Xue could imagine how difficult it would be to condense dual-elements.
Now that Murong Xue heard Su Bai say that he was going to use humans as a primer, she was even more certain.
Su Bai looked at their frightened faces and told them his guesses, “The surrounding murals are used to confuse our spiritual energy. Once we are trapped in the murals, everything about us will be absorbed. After they absorb our spiritual energy, they will be able to control us and turn us into real puppets. As for our consciousness, it has long become their Spiritual Domain.”
After Su Bai finished, Lu Le reacted first, “That’s too abnormal!”
Sure enough, after Su Bai summoned Whitey, a voice came from the wall, “As expected of Su Bai. I’m not sure who you are, but your spiritual energy is the best nourishment for me. If I can take over your spiritual power, then I will create a unique Spiritual Domain that will not be destroyed by anyone. As for your companions, they will naturally become the spiritual pillar to support the Spiritual Domain I want to create!”
Su Bai was very familiar with that voice, but not at the same time. But he had heard of it in Elder Koyadi’s mansion before. It was the person who trapped them and wanted to let Elder Koyadi escape.
“I was thinking about when to look for you, but you actually took the initiative to look for me,” said Su Bai. This saved him some trouble looking.
Su Bai had not taken revenge for being trapped last time, but he did not think it was important.
However, sensing the other party’s strength at the Platinum-level, Su Bai had no choice but to make a move now.
