HCB Chapter 190 Mad Eyes
Chapter 190 Mad Eyes
"Captain! Something's happened!"
Ling Yunxiao was drinking when he suddenly heard the constant reminders from the Judge's Pen.
"To live towards death consumes Reincarnation Power Points. Heal consumes 200 Reincarnation Power Points. Expel consumes 200 Reincarnation Power Points. To live towards death consumes..."
The judge's pen made a very soft sound, yet the consumption information exploded in Ling Yunxiao's mind like thunder. The continuous notifications made his face turn extremely ugly.
"Master, it's alright. You still have over 1.04 billion points of reincarnation power. They can deduct it from your account as they please. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
However, the judge's pen's words did not reassure Ling Yunxiao, who looked at the king with eyes full of worry.
"What happened?"
"I left two Books of Life and Death for the Great Xia Dynasty, which turned into leaves to guard Zhou Ping and Ye Fan. Zhou Ping's Book of Life and Death only contained Zhou Ping's name, while Ye Fan's Book contained many more, including those of the people who later became gods on Dragon Vein Island."
Their names are now flickering in and out of focus; the Book of Life and Death over there is constantly draining my energy for healing and resurrection.
But what I wrote back then wasn't enough! Far from enough! The names of Uzumaki and Nanaya aren't even on it!
"Captain, something must have happened to Great Xia. And it was a very fierce battle. We need to find a way back."
Ling Yunxiao grabbed Wang Mian's arm urgently. Wang Mian took out the Candle Dragon's Horn and looked at Ling Yunxiao with serious eyes.
"Yunxiao, since we can sense what's happening outside, the traps here are definitely not simple."
"We don't know what terrible things will happen if we break the barrier. Wait a minute, I'll try the River of Time again. As long as we can stop them from getting in here, everything will still be in time."
Just as Wang Mian was about to enter the River of Time again, the originally bright sun in the void suddenly disappeared, and soon those blood-red eyes reappeared.
This time, however, there was no mockery or sarcasm in those eyes, only madness and pain.
"Roar……"
Above the void, even painful roars could be heard.
The two looked up at the void at the same time and rushed towards those eyes without hesitation.
As the two approached, the pain in his eyes became even more pronounced. Their initial sense of familiarity vanished; they were now certain that this was not delirium, but someone they had never seen before.
"Peng... Peng... Peng... Peng..."
A violent impact rang out, followed by roars coming from the eyes.
"It seems to want to rescue us?"
"It seems so. Should we make a move?"
Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian were bewildered by those eyes. Was that thing outside trying to save them? Wasn't it just guarding them?
The two had previously agreed that this place shouldn't be easily broken from the inside, as unexpected things might happen. But if someone breaks it from the outside, shouldn't it be alright for them to step in and help?
"Hiss hiss hiss... Wait for me..."
Just as the two were about to make their move, a voice seemed to come from behind their eyes.
However, the voice, like the eyes, was completely unfamiliar to both of them. Based on their memories, they were almost certain that the eyes and voice did not belong to anyone they knew.
"The battle over the Great Xia should be over by now. Let's wait here! With Bu Li and An Qingyu here, we're not afraid of anyone sacrificing themselves. As long as I can go back, I can revive them."
Ling Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief. A battle that could end so quickly shouldn't be too much of a problem. Wang Mian's complexion had also improved considerably. Although Ling Yunxiao had been comforting him, he was still filled with self-blame.
The waiting time always seemed to drag on. The two watched as the blood-red eyes outside kept clashing, but they were powerless to do anything about it. They could only wait quietly, not daring to make any rash moves.
However, the next second, Ling Yunxiao had already taken out the Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death.
It turned out that Ling Yunxiao, having relaxed his mind, wanted to carefully check how much reincarnation power he had consumed, but found that in less than an hour, the Book of Life and Death had already shown dense records, and the total amount consumed was nearly ten million points.
"Captain, there's a time maze here. We've been away from Great Xia for definitely more than thirty days."
Just as Ling Yunxiao finished explaining and was about to write, another violent impact came from outside.
"No...please...wait for me..."
Ling Yunxiao turned his head and looked at the eyes in the void above. These eyes were filled with despair and pleading; clearly, they did not want Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian to break through the barrier on their own.
"Here's what we'll do! We'll ask, and you answer! Just answer yes or no! If no, just glare. If yes, just smile."
The blood-red eyes above the void paused for a moment, then faded considerably from their crimson hue, clearly an attempt to project a smile.
"Those bright, sun-like eyes from before, were they also yours?"
Ling Yunxiao noticed that the blood-red eyes seemed somewhat familiar after they faded, and immediately asked the question that had been bothering him.
His blood-red eyes had faded somewhat; it seemed Ling Yunxiao had guessed correctly.
"If we break through the barrier and leave this place on our own, will we get hurt?"
His eyes turned bloodshot, denying Ling Yunxiao's guess.
"If we break the boundary, you will get hurt, so you're stopping us?"
However, Ling Yunxiao was clearly wrong again, and the bloodshot color in his eyes intensified.
"If we break through the boundary, will we harm innocent people, or even cause damage to the Great Xia?"
Wang Mian suddenly spoke up; he had also had this suspicion in his mind, which was why he asked the question. Soon, the answer to this question was confirmed by the blood-red eyes—it was indeed true.
"Are we in Great Xia now?"
Ling Yunxiao was utterly shocked, bringing up something they had never considered. The blood-red eyes dimmed slightly, clearly indicating they had guessed correctly. However, the sounds of smashing and looting outside intensified; the owner of those eyes outside clearly wanted to let them leave.
"What is the flow of time for us here? Is one day here equivalent to ten days outside? A year? Half a year? A month?"
In the end, the two fell silent. One day outside was equivalent to one year outside, and they had been living here for a month. In other words, three years had passed outside!
Most importantly, what Wang Mian saw in the river of time was that Great Xia would face a crisis in six months, and the two of them would rush back at that time. Keep in mind, what Wang Mian saw back then was the outside world, not this place!
"Did the Great Xia Dynasty encounter a mysterious large-scale descent event two and a half years ago?"
Ling Yunxiao asked the question with great concern, but received an affirmative answer.
