BXBX NOVEL Chapter 230 - Awakening
Chapter 230: Awakening
“Quick, place the communicator in the electronic lock. This door is similar to the door outside. I can open it!”
There was a trace of urgency in Longbetham’s tone as well. It did not want Lin Feng to really die. If that happened, finding another successor would not be so easy.
Although Lin Feng’s natural talent was not much, he was lucky. Longbetham did not think it was possible to meet someone as lucky as Lin Feng next time.
Hence, unless it was absolutely necessary, it did not want Lin Feng to die.
The footsteps in the tunnel approached. Lin Feng hurriedly struggled to place the communicator on the electronic lock.
About two or three seconds after placing it there, the door rumbled and began to open rapidly.
“It’s open, it’s open.”
Overjoyed, Lin Feng immediately rolled on the ground and entered the door. He did not even have time to look at the situation inside the door before shouting, “Close the door now.”
In the distance, two lizards could already be seen chasing after them in a frenzy. However, the door had already begun to close slowly.
Boom.
As the door closed completely, Lin Feng could finally heave a sigh of relief. He could still hear the roars of the two lizards outside. They still wanted to destroy the door, but it was completely futile.
Lin Feng leaned against the door and sprawled weakly on the ground. He was so tired that he did not even want to open his eyes. His mind was almost in shambles, and his body was sore and weak. All he wanted to do now was to sleep.
“Lin Feng, look, what are these?”
In his daze, Lin Feng vaguely heard Longbetham’s surprised voice. Its tone was filled with excitement. He tried his best to open his eyes to take a look, but no matter how hard he tried to open his eyes, his vision remained blurry.
Thump.
Finally, Lin Feng’s body went limp. He fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
…
Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi were personally overseeing a base in the depths of the Outland.
This base was no small matter. Metamorphic Realm martial artists were commonplace. The true main force was Divine Realm martial artists!
Above Divine Realm martial artists were Meta-divine martial artists, and there were even Sages personally presiding over them!
This base was not meant to resist those dire beasts, but to conduct close surveillance on the Black Wind Canyon. As one of the Four Forbidden Places known to humans, it was very normal for two Sages to oversee and guard it, especially there might be a terrifying greater demon hidden within the Black Wind Canyon.
Some time ago, the gathering of the nine demon emperors in the Black Wind Canyon had already made Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi very nervous. Although they had already dispersed, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi still felt that this matter was not that simple.
Perhaps there was some secret within the Black Wind Canyon that they did not know about. Once any abnormality occurred, it would be earth-shattering, and even enough to annihilate the entire human civilization.
“It’s been three days, right?” Sage Kang suddenly asked.
“It’s been more than three days. There’s still no news from the communicators, and no movement from the ruins. I’m afraid it bodes ill for them…”
Sage Yuanyi heaved a long sigh. In fact, they should not have held such high hopes. How many elites had they sent in? In the end, had anyone succeeded?
No. Everyone was lost to the ruins, and there was never news of them again.
Without a doubt, Lin Feng and the others had most likely failed this time as well.
“Alas, what a pity. Lin Feng and Griman actually both have a chance of becoming Divine Realm martial artists, but they’re buried in this ruin now. Do not send anyone into this ruin in the future. I suspect that this ruin and the disaster that erupted in the military three days ago were left behind by the same civilization.”
Sage Kang’s expression was solemn.
“That disaster in the military was a little troublesome. Those overwhelming robots are clearly weapons of war. They are only focused on destruction and killing, and are even more terrifying than dire beast Predators.”
Sage Yuanyi was a little worried that the military faction would not be able to quell the disaster.
“It is indeed a disaster, but it may also be a huge opportunity. If we can assimilate those technologies and create the same robots, it will be much easier to deal with dire beasts. The military faction is handling this matter, so it won’t spread to the cities for the time being.”
“How despicable. If not for those demon emperors holding us back, any one of us Nine Sages can easily resolve that calamity.”
Sage Yuanyi was somewhat unwilling to accept the situation. The reason why the Nine Sages were overseeing the depths of the Outland was actually to intimidate the demon emperors. Those demon emperors were also extremely cunning. Once the Sages left, they may leave.
If they reached the heartland of humanity, even if the demon emperors could eventually be dispelled, they would still pose a devastating blow to humanity. It would be a complete calamity.
With the three calamities brought by the previous three demon emperors in mind, the Nine Sages did not dare to leave lightly.
“Let’s wait. I hope Dongfang Sheng won’t let us down. If a new Sage emerges, our situation will be much better.”
Sage Kang looked at the electronic screen and closed his eyes.
Humans were plagued by disasters. Sages like themselves knew very well that although human society seemed to be flourishing, it was walking a tightrope. All it took was a little carelessness for it to be destroyed.
They were under immense pressure at all times.
As for Lin Feng and the others in the ruins, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi no longer held much hope.
…
Lin Feng seemed to have fallen into darkness in a daze. Gradually, he “woke up” and regained consciousness.
“Where am I?” Lin Feng shouted loudly, but there was no response.
He could not seem to use his mental power, and could not sense his Astral Power at all.
Suddenly, Lin Feng saw a huge “tumor” in front of him. It was almost as huge as a mountain. There were some detailed and clear patterns on it.
At this moment, Lin Feng realized that there was a faint force flowing along these patterns, and gradually “overflowing” out of them.
“This is…?”
Lin Feng’s mouth fell open. He realized that this huge tumor was actually slowly splitting into another huge tumor. It was transforming through innumerable complicated patterns and countless forces.
Finally, it split into another tumor which was identical. There was no difference at all.
“Division?”
An idea flashed through Lin Feng’s mind. He seemed to have grasped something, but he also felt that something was missing.
Then, Lin Feng stayed beside the tumor for an hour, two hours, three hours…
Lin Feng seemed tireless as he stared intently at the tumors. These tumors were almost translucent. From the outside, one could see that some things were constantly flowing inside. Only after complicated transformations could a new tumor finally grow from division.
The cycle repeated and division continued, as if without end.
Somehow, Lin Feng seemed to have a new understanding.
“Lin Feng, wake up…”
Suddenly, Lin Feng seemed to hear someone calling him. The surrounding darkness disappeared at once, and the world spun. He could not help but fight to open his eyes.
