Free Web NovelAs Yumen Pass descended, the Gobi Desert was currently enveloped by a powerful sandstorm, with tornado pillars concealing spatial rifts wreaking havoc. It was truly fraught with danger; one wrong step could cost a life.
According to Lu Yibei's past experience, having her travel through the Gobi Desert at a time like this would lead to an accident one hundred percent of the time.
She was very self-aware of her own luck...
However, with Nanling Yaohua, who held the Mingfeng Bell, assisting, their pursuit of Dai Lin was exceptionally smooth—so smooth, in fact, that it made her uneasy, as if something terrifying awaited her ahead.
Because she heard voices in the wind.
She initially thought the whispers urging her to confess to Nanling Yaohua were just her imagination, a product of her own guilt, but as they continued forward, those voices hidden in the wind echoed persistently in her ears.
Indeed, Lu Yibei heard someone speaking, calling out, amidst the wailing of the gale.
It wasn't just one person, but as if many people were speaking together.
All the voices converged, transforming into a buzzing cacophony in her ears, making Lu Yibei dizzy and causing sweat to gradually bead on her forehead.
It was as if she was about to suffer from "heatstroke" again.
Finally, after pursuing Dai Lin for over an hour, and as the voices in her ears grew stronger, she could no longer endure the disturbance from the wind and asked Nanling Yaohua, "Nanling Yaohua, did you hear that? The voices in the wind..."
"Voices?" Nanling Yaohua stopped, looked at Lu Yibei with a strange expression, and shook her head, "I didn't hear any voices. Are you... experiencing heatstroke symptoms again?"
When Lu Yibei asked her, she had already listened carefully, only hearing the howling wind. Where were there any strange voices? fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Could it be that she was affected by the Spiritual Energy fluctuations escaping from the spatial rift, causing hallucinations?
In the past, the herdsmen often said that on windy days, they would occasionally hear human voices in the wind...
However, generally speaking, only those with low Spiritual Energy fluctuations or ordinary people would be affected. There was no mention of high-level Psychic being affected.
Nanling Yaohua thought, silently undoing her belt.
The crimson belt slipped from her slender waist, and the unbound white gauze dress was lifted by the wind, subtly revealing a few inches of fair skin through the gaps in the fabric.
Immediately after, seeing Nanling Yaohua suddenly step forward and wrap her arms around her waist, Lu Yibei froze for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "You, what are you doing?!"
Good heavens! You were already being handsy when I was having "heatstroke" just now, and now you're just taking off your clothes and hugging me, aren't you?
"..." Nanling Yaohua rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei, continuing her actions. She tied one end of the belt around Lu Yibei's waist with a dead knot, then tied the other end to her own waist, tucking in her clothes.
"This way, you won't be scared. Later, stick close. Don't let your attention be drawn away by any strange sounds; those are mostly auditory hallucinations created by the Spiritual Energy escaping from the spatial rift."
Her tone of voice was as if she were admonishing a child to be well-behaved and not to run off with strangers.
Lu Yibei was momentarily speechless.
Has this Miss always been like this?
From a certain perspective, I'm her love rival right now, so what good does it do her to take care of me like this?
Lu Yibei thought seriously for a moment and suddenly realized that Nanling Yaohua had indeed always been like this.
Although she was a little bit cunning, she was actually very considerate of those around her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been given the nickname "Heroine" in Dream City.
Gentle with a hint of cunning, she was such a contradictory person.
In silence, the two continued their journey.
With Nanling Yaohua's reminder, Lu Yibei had been trying very hard not to listen to the voices in the wind along the way, but the more she tried not to listen, the clearer those voices became, and a faint burning sensation subtly came from her eyes.
At first, the human voices in the wind were only intermittent, indistinct murmurs, but as a faint burning sensation began to come ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) from her eyes, she gradually began to hear the content clearly.
Some were wailing for their parents.
Some were sighing deeply.
Some were shouting loudly, "Qingyun clothes and white neon robes, holding long arrows to shoot the Sirius star."
Some were softly chanting, "Out of Chang'an, out of Chang'an, yellow sands boundless, black fog thick, a long spear in hand, ambition in chest..."
"..."
Something's not right!
Something bad is about to happen...
I wondered why this journey was so peaceful. I originally thought I had inadvertently absorbed the fragrance of the miracle flower from Dai Lin and his companion, but it turns out I was accumulating misfortune points, brewing a big one?
Lu Yibei looked at Nanling Yaohua's back with a heavy heart, opened her mouth, and was about to tell Nanling Yaohua that the human voices she heard in the wind were gradually intensifying, but Nanling Yaohua suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Those two guys have stopped," she said, raising her hand to point at the undulating wind-eroded hills ahead. "They're behind that patch of hills; just go over them." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
After speaking, she turned back and was about to continue forward.
Lu Yibei, however, reached out and pressed on her shoulder, "Wait a moment!"
Nanling Yaohua turned her head and cast a puzzled look at Lu Yibei, "What's wrong? Weren't you very anxious just now? Now that we've finally caught up, why have you suddenly become patient?"
"Because it's very abnormal!" Lu Yibei said.
"When we were chasing them just now, they were completely fleeing in panic. Now they've suddenly stopped. Either they've encountered something dangerous, or they've received support. In either case, we shouldn't follow rashly."
Lu Yibei really wanted to tell Nanling Yaohua that she inferred "high energy ahead" because the whispers in her ears had become clearer and her eyes had started to heat up, but she was worried Nanling Yaohua wouldn't believe her, so she simply used another more reasonable explanation.
In fact, even if she hadn't heard strange sounds, upon noticing Dai Lin and his companion suddenly stop, she wouldn't have rushed forward.
After listening to Lu Yibei's words, Nanling Yaohua pondered for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense! So, now... we slow down, conceal our aura, and get closer first to see what's happening?"
"No need!" Lu Yibei shook her head expressionlessly. "There's an even safer way."
"What way?" Nanling Yaohua tilted her head.
"Hmm..." Lu Yibei thought for a moment and said, "You turn around first, don't look. I'll prepare a little, and you'll know in a moment."
"You..." Nanling Yaohua hesitated, but before she could speak, Lu Yibei grabbed her shoulders and forcibly turned her body around.
"Don't peek!"
As she spoke, she kept a watchful eye on Nanling Yaohua out of the corner of her eye, while opening the channel to her God Kingdom Prototype and taking out one 1:1 replicated Paper Cicada Immortal, and exactly one hundred miniature Paper Cicada Immortals.
Nanling Yaohua's suggestion was indeed very good from a rational perspective, but compared to human reconnaissance, aerial reconnaissance was certainly more reliable!
Although the 1:1 replicated Paper Cicada Immortal had some problems before and hadn't been fully repaired, wasn't there still a large Paper Cicada Immortal in stock that appeared at the same time as Qiu Guniang? So...
Go, you're the one, Hua Qianshu! Lu Yibei thought.
"Alright, Nanling Yaohua, you can turn around now."
Upon hearing this, Nanling Yaohua, who had been desperately restraining her urge to turn around, immediately turned around.
Then.
Seeing the paper figure almost as tall as "Lu Qingyi," with a somewhat abstract appearance, and the dense swarm of "unidentified flying objects" in mid-air, she parted her lips slightly and fell silent.
Where on earth did she pull out these monstrous things?
Especially the big one.
It's almost as big as the Yin Soldiers that occasionally emerge from Yumen Pass!
