Chapter 648: Strange Continuity
"An Qiqi, wait a minute."
"??"
Angelica wanted to check around and see where she was. As soon as she moved her feet, Ivan called her again, which made her even more confused.
"This place is very unusual, don't wander around."
Ivan said solemnly, the more he sensed his surroundings, the more he could tell something was wrong.
He had never seen such a strange situation. Under his soul consciousness, the space kept rising and falling, appearing and disappearing, and the speed of change was so huge that it was simply unheard of.
In other words, everywhere here is dangerous and if you are not careful you will get lost and trapped in the changing space.
For people like An Qiqi who don't know much about the power of space, it's best to stand still and not move.
"Is that so?" An Qiqi didn't believe it.
Under Ivan's wide eyes, she tried to take a step, but nothing changed. She then walked left, then right, and everything was normal.
"Look, you can go anywhere. It's very normal."
“This this——”
Seeing this scene, Ivan raised his eyebrows and his eyes widened.
This makes no sense!
"Mr. Ivan, you are such a joker. You just scared me." An Qiqi smiled faintly. She kept walking back and forth to refute someone's words.
"It seems that there is something wrong with my perception."
No matter how much Ivan believed in his soul consciousness, he had to admit that there were indeed some problems on his side. Otherwise, how could a lord from the other side be so aggressive?
"So can we leave now?"
"Ahem, ahem, Miss An Qiqi, it's time to test your luck."
"Mr. Ivan, I don't think I understand."
"From now on, you lead the way, and I'll follow behind to observe the situation. If something unexpected happens, I can take timely measures to protect you. What do you think?"
"Eh? Okay."
An Qiqi looked at him suspiciously. She had never heard of someone walking behind to protect others.
However, despite her doubts, An Qiqi still agreed. She chose a direction with interest and flew towards it lightly.
Ivan scratched his head and hurried to follow.
In his opinion, this was a place full of dangers and he had to be careful with every step he took. If he really had to walk in front and rush forward like An Qiqi did, his scalp would definitely be numb and burst.
Could it be that there is really something wrong with my perception?
Or has some kind of test already begun, targeting only himself and not An Qiqi? Moreover, the attraction that attracted him to come closer has dispersed and exists in all directions.
For a moment, he hesitated, which was unusual.
Alas! Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing. For example, An Qiqi did not have such worries and just kept rushing forward.
After all, he was not an ordinary person. He quickly adjusted his thoughts and looked around vigilantly to prevent any changes.
Angelica had been kind enough to bring him here, and if anything unexpected happened, it would be difficult for him to go back and explain to Antoinette.
"Mr. Ivan, I think we should change the direction a little bit and go this way? What do you think?"
"I think you're right."
I don’t know if it was An Qiqi’s luck that played a role, but the two of them walked for most of the day, and they didn’t know how far they had walked, but they didn’t encounter any small accidents, let alone other things.
The surroundings were still white, without a single color.
In this regard, Ivan did not let down his guard.
In this way, time passed day by day.
Five days later, the two were still in this white area. There was no doubt that they had lost their way and didn't know which way to go back.
"Mr. Ivan, it seems that my luck can't help you." An Qiqi no longer had the interest she had a few days ago.
"Okay, let me lead the way, and you follow closely." Ivan immediately understood. He did not refuse this time. After a few days, he had adapted to the different conditions here.
Even if it feels like he is walking on a sea of fire and a deadly edge, he can face this perception calmly and move forward calmly.
Afterwards, the formation between the two became Ivan in front and An Qiqi behind.
"Mr. Ivan, Mr. Ivan."
The two walked forward for a distance, and An Qiqi suddenly thought of something and called his name repeatedly.
"You say." Ivan looked back but did not stop.
"It's time to test your luck." An Qiqi smiled playfully.
"Then we'll wait and see." Ivan was speechless, then nodded.
In that case, he simply chose another direction based on his intuition and flew towards that direction with An Qiqi. He wanted to see if there was really any difference.
a new day.
It should have been noon when Ivan suddenly discovered a faint black spot in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, after all, he had not seen any other colors in his sight for a long time.
An Qiqi followed closely behind him and saw the situation, and was also stunned for a moment.
"You are right." The two looked at each other and Ivan said so.
"Really?" An Qiqi was a little disappointed.
"Of course, this doesn't mean anything," Ivan continued.
Afterwards, the two of them moved towards the location of the black spot. Although the distance between them seemed very close, it was actually much farther than they had imagined.
This did not pose a problem for Ivan and An Qiqi. After getting closer, the first thing that caught their eyes was a mountain, and in front of them there seemed to be a floating island.
Ivan's eyes lit up slightly.
When he got a little closer, his face suddenly turned dark. It's true that we meet each other everywhere in life.
孽 孽!
"Hey, here come two little babies."
The distance was so close that it was no longer possible to dodge. The creature there turned around, and its huge head and sharp claws emerged from under the mountain. It was obviously an old acquaintance of Ivan.
A giant mountain tortoise named Lindbergh.
At the beginning, Temple, Debra and others came to the fairy plane from the Gezan plane, and were teleported to each other's backs by chance. As soon as they met, they were all captured and two of them were eaten on the spot.
This is an extremely ferocious turtle.
I never expected to run into each other again in this strange place.
"There is a familiar aura about you. Forget it, forget it. Never mind. You two little darlings came at the right time. The old ancestor happened to be so hungry that his tortoise shell became loose."
At this time, the giant turtle ancestor was indeed starving and thin, with a face like a skeleton.
This actually made Ivan very confused. As a powerful king, no matter how hungry he was or how long he had not eaten, he would not be so hungry that he would lose his appearance.
"withdraw!"
Ivan flicked his hand and sent An Qiqi to a farther place behind.
"The little baby looks very tender and delicious. Let the ancestor have a taste of it, just one bite. I guarantee you won't feel any pain." How could the giant turtle ancestor let him do what he wanted? He immediately stuck his head out and rolled his tongue over.
The tongue was yellow, green, and red, full of mucus, not just saliva. An Qiqi saw it clearly and frowned deeply.
In fact, Ivan did what he had promised before. He stood in the middle and protected An Qiqi behind him, but An Qiqi still felt offended at this time.
Ivan didn't know this. He was driving the Wooden Soul Tower with all his strength to deal with the attack from the front.
"You're pretty fast little guy."
Seeing this, the Giant Turtle Ancestor didn't care too much and just swept his tongue over, sweeping across the enlarged Wooden Soul Tower, making a muffled bang.
The Wooden Soul Tower flew out with the wizard inside.
"This tower of yours is not bad, it should be very interesting, old ancestor - damn it! Here it comes again, wait, let me have a bite first." The giant turtle ancestor greedily went to the Wood Soul Tower again, however, before he could start the second attack, something strange happened suddenly.
Ripples appeared around him, and then the ground below shattered into pieces, forming a gap.
A pulling force suddenly came from the gap, pulling the giant turtle ancestor downwards. Although he was complaining, he shrank back into the turtle shell faster than anyone else.
"go!"
On the other side, Ivan was also frightened by this sudden change. He quickly moved away, while not forgetting to pick up An Qiqi who was a little stunned.
This is a space collapse. Once you are trapped in it, it is very difficult to get out. Moreover, as the space changes, no one knows where you will be sent to, let alone what you will hit during the change. You will get deeper and deeper into it.
Fortunately, the collapse did not spread much outward.
Ivan walked away from her for a long distance before putting An Qiqi down.
"Scared?"
"Mmmmm, that stuff is disgusting."
"Well - a little."
He thought An Qiqi was frightened by the collapse of space, but it turned out that she was not focused on the same thing as him, and he didn't know what to say.
After a brief rest, under Ivan's leadership, the two changed direction and continued exploring.
After what happened just now, Ivan was obviously more cautious and deliberately slowed down his pace. After all, if the space collapsed once, it might happen a second or third time, and there would also be other dangers.
Turns out, he was right.
After another day of searching, the wind started to blow in this white place. In his perception, the space around him changed more rapidly, and the danger increased dramatically.
Ivan had no choice but to slow down again, then flew forward.
That’s not all. At first, the wind was blowing from the southeast, which was exactly the opposite direction of the two people’s movement, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.
Not long after, the northwest wind started blowing again.
The two winds were so powerful that they made the space ripple. The spatial ripples were clearly visible, and even the spatial wrinkles, cracks, overlaps, eddies, collapses, etc. hidden under the ripples were reflected in large numbers.
Ivan was still moving forward, but he was walking, taking one step at a time.
"Mr. Ivan, do you think the wind is strange?" After a moment, An Qiqi couldn't help but ask.
"I feel like there are two people competing with each other and neither of them wants to give in," Ivan replied.
"That--"
"It has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you, so don't bother with it."
Ivan didn't want to explore the reasons behind this. Sometimes it is better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble.
"That's right." An Qiqi nodded repeatedly.
As time went by, the wind became stronger and more chaotic, and finally turned into winds coming from all directions.
Either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the southwest wind suppresses the northeast wind, or the north wind suppresses the south wind. Just as Ivan had guessed before, it was like the wind was fighting against the wind, staging a unique battle.
Ivan walked this journey with determination and fear.
In fact, he had no other choice. If there was another way out, he would consider it and stay away from this damn place.
However, he didn't, so he could only continue along this path honestly.
"Something's wrong."
"Ah."
"Mr. Ivan, you won't leave me alone, right?"
"Ms. An Qiqi, I think I am a person who keeps my promises, otherwise I would not have traveled thousands of miles and taken great risks to help Antoinette out of trouble."
Seeing that An Qiqi was frightened and became a little nervous, Ivan had to chat with her for a few more minutes to ease her inner anxiety.
"Remember what you said." An Qiqi did not forget to emphasize.
"Ms. An Qiqi, everything is fine. There is no need to be so nervous. No one will abandon a kind person like you." Ivan continued to comfort her, and the next second, his expression became dull.
It's just like the saying goes, what you fear is bound to come true.
The place where the two were located happened to collapse, just like standing on a tall building and the solid building under your feet suddenly disappears, and you can only fall down involuntarily.
Just as Ivan was about to reach out and grab An Qiqi, without any warning, something invisible came over and pulled him to the other side.
The speed was so fast that he couldn't react at all.
Surprisingly, this pull even affected the small area where the two were, pulling An Qiqi over as well, but the distance between the two was slowly increasing.
"Mr. Ivan, what's going on?"
An Qiqi was so frightened that her face turned pale and she looked particularly pitiful.
"I don't know." Ivan shook his head and retracted his outstretched hand.
"You--" An Qiqi looked at him in confusion.
"I'm sorry. You should be able to see that I have no choice now. I have to listen to whoever is controlling me. After all, I only have one life."
Ivan glanced at his waist, the meaning was clear.
"Mr. Ivan, you promised me." An Qiqi frowned and stared at him.
"I promised An Qiqi, and you are definitely not the An Qiqi I know." Ivan shook his head slightly.
"So sure?"
"This wizard is not stupid. Isn't it obvious what has happened along the way? There are so many spatial chaos hidden around us, but we have walked all the way safely. How incredible.
So, who suppressed it?
This person is not me. Apart from me, you are the only one left here."
Ivan's belief is not so easily shaken. From the beginning to the end, he believed in the danger sensed by his soul, but this danger was suppressed by something.
He was thinking about this question all the way.
After going through all kinds of things, he gradually began to suspect someone around him, and there was only An Qiqi by his side. No matter how much he didn't want to believe it, his reason told him that there was something wrong with An Qiqi, and it was a big problem.
However, he did not act rashly. After all, a person who could suppress so many deadly dangers by himself was not someone to be trifled with.
Fortunately, things finally took a turn for the better, even though he still had no control over himself. (End of this chapter)
