He glanced around, his brow slightly furrowed. Through the gaps between the leaves overhead, the starry sky was faintly visible, the arrangement of the stars completely unfamiliar, emanating an unusual radiance."I don’t know." Lin Wan’er also stood up, her expression grave, "I’ve observed the Star Formation, and it doesn’t match any Star Domain we know of. It’s very likely... we’re no longer in our original world."
No longer in their original world...
These words struck everyone like a heavy hammer. They had escaped the desperate situation of the Returning Ruins, only to fall into another vast unknown. Su Xiaowan’s small sense of triumph instantly crumbled, her face scrunched up: "Huh? How do we get back then? My parents are still waiting for me at home! And the thing I’ve hidden under my bed..." She suddenly covered her mouth, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er.
Luo Qingchen said nothing, merely walked to the nearest towering ancient tree, extending his hand, with a trace of imperceptible gray chaotic air swirling at his fingertips, gently touching the rough bark.
Sizzle...
The hard bark silently disintegrated into a finger-sized hole, leaving no scorch marks or debris, only the purest void. Luo Qingchen’s gaze slightly focused, feeling the more freely manipulated Chaotic Power and its greatly enhanced obliteration properties. It seemed that this reconstruction and condensing of the source had brought benefits far beyond merely healing his injuries.
"The energy here is quite peculiar, mild, and pure, imbued with a sort of... breath that seems like a fusion of life and stars." Luo Qingchen withdrew his hand, pondering, "For now, the danger seems low, but we must not be complacent. We know nothing about this place."
"Yes," Lin Wan’er agreed, "I just slightly explored the vicinity, found a relatively clean water source, and discovered several unfamiliar plants that seem to contain Spiritual Energy. However, deeper in the forest... feels different." She pointed in a direction, "That way seems to have stronger energy fluctuations and some... very strange sounds."
"Strange sounds?" Su Xiaowan instantly perked up her ears, nervously clutching her Turtle Shell, "What sounds? Are there monsters?"
"Doesn’t seem like it," Lin Wan’er shook her head, "More like... some kind of rhythmic whispering or resonance? Very faint, but it’s definitely there."
Luo Qingchen closed his eyes, slowly spreading his Divine Sense. Nourished by the Turtle Shell, his Divine Soul had also recovered significantly, and now fully sensing, the range was broader than before. Soon, he too captured the "whispers" Lin Wan’er mentioned.
They weren’t truly sounds, but a peculiar energy frequency wave, like countless tiny stars resonating and breathing, gathering together to form an indescribable rhythm, seemingly conveying some message, or perhaps merely a pulsation of this world itself. This wave seemed to originate from the direction Lin Wan’er pointed to.
"Let’s go check it out." Luo Qingchen decided, "We can’t stay here forever. We need to figure out what this place is, and only then can we hope to find a way back."
"But Brother Luo, you just recovered..." Lin Wan’er was a bit worried.
"No problem." Luo Qingchen felt the surging power within him, "Recovered better than expected. Plus, staying here, passively waiting is not an option."
He glanced at the still unconscious Bai Ling’er: "Wan’er, you take care of Ling’er and Xiaowan. I’ll scout ahead."
"No way!" Su Xiaowan immediately opposed, "We go together! More people mean more assistance, and my Turtle Shell is really powerful!" She patted the Turtle Shell in her arms, looking very much like she felt important.
Lin Wan’er also added, "Brother Luo, let’s move together. It’s too dangerous to split up. I can carry Ling’er."
Luo Qingchen looked at the determined eyes of the two, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Alright. But be careful, stay vigilant."
After simple preparations, Luo Qingchen led the way forward, Lin Wan’er carrying Bai Ling’er in the middle, and Su Xiaowan holding the Turtle Shell at the back, the trio cautiously advanced towards the direction of the peculiar energy fluctuation.
The light within the forest became increasingly variegated as they delved deeper. Various strange plants competed in brilliance; some resembled massive crystal clusters, refracting starlight; others looked like flowing liquid metal, slowly changing shape; and there were even plants whose leaves had tiny lights flickering like a Star Map. The Star Energy in the air grew denser, inhaling it made people feel refreshed, and the circulation of Spiritual Power seemed to quicken somewhat.
"Wow! This place is so beautiful!" Su Xiaowan couldn’t help but exclaim, temporarily forgetting the danger, curiously looking around, "If only I could dig these flowers and plants back to sell, I’d definitely make a fortune!"
Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat helpless. This girl never forgets her business acumen.
"Don’t touch anything randomly," Luo Qingchen reminded, "The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it usually is."
Just as the words left his mouth, a seemingly harmless and lush flower vine nearby suddenly shot a viscous green liquid from its blossom, straight towards Su Xiaowan at the back!
"Oh no!" Su Xiaowan was startled, but reacted quickly, almost instinctively using the Turtle Shell as a shield!
Thud!
The green liquid splattered on the Turtle Shell, emitting a puff of green smoke and a pungent acidic smell, but it left not a single mark on the Turtle Shell’s surface.
"That was close!" Su Xiaowan patted her chest, relieved, then angrily put her hands on her hips and scolded the flower: "You stinky flower! Looking all good but having such a bad heart! Watch me..."
