#397 - Chapter 396: Silent Sea
The suspended compartments slowly descended, and the tightly closed doors opened one by one. Figures emerged from the compartments, either in pairs or alone, and approached the spatial rift.
Li Chenqiu stayed in Ying Xiu and the others' Firefly Shuttle, looking like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city for the first time, his eyes bursting with curiosity.
The interior of the Firefly Shuttle was different from the exterior. Those inside could clearly see outside, but those outside could not see inside, a bit like one-way glass.
"Thin and cool."
Li Chenqiu stretched out his finger and gently poked the shell of the Firefly Shuttle, which was his first impression.
Ying Xiu asked as he walked, "It seems you are very interested in the Firefly Shuttle?"
Li Chenqiu turned to look at him, scratching his head and said, "It's just the first time I've seen it, so I'm a little curious."
A look of reminiscence flashed in Ying Xiu's eyes: "The first time I knew about the existence of the Firefly Shuttle, I was as curious as you. This little thing can actually go to the sky and enter the sea? Isn't this like the flying magical artifacts in Xianxia novels?"
"Can it still go to the sky and enter the sea?" Li Chenqiu's pupils dilated slightly.
Have modern Xuan artifacts developed to this extent? A small iron plate with two pointed ends and a thick middle can actually take people to the sky and enter the sea, which is outrageous!
"This is nothing. There are many more powerful Xuan artifacts than the Firefly Shuttle, such as the Wind Rider Shuttle that appeared at the auction earlier. Its shape is no different from an ordinary bottle cap, and it is also printed with 'Try Again'.
But who would have thought that this ordinary bottle cap can be freely enlarged and reduced, and can carry people for thousands of miles a day. In terms of speed and portability, it far exceeds the Firefly Shuttle. It's really eye-opening, don't you think?"
Ying Xiu calmly stared at Li Chenqiu.
"Too exaggerated, a bottle cap actually has such heaven-defying abilities, it's really eye-opening!" Li Chenqiu's mouth opened slightly, pretending to be very surprised.
At this moment, two figures, one thin and one strong, walked from a distance and stopped in front of the Ying Clan's Firefly Shuttle. These two were none other than Duan Xian and Wenren Qing.
"Wenren Qing of the Star Plucking Academy, thank you, Ying Clan, for saving my academy's student." Wenren Qing politely thanked.
"Director Wenren, you don't have to take it to heart, this is what our Ying Clan should do," the middle-aged man standing next to Ying Xiu replied.
After speaking, the man turned his head to look at Li Chenqiu, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, signaling him to leave the Firefly Shuttle.
Ying Xiu raised his forearm and waved his hand, revealing a kind and amiable smile: "Junior Brother, we will meet again if fate wills it."
Li Chenqiu nodded, bowed slightly to the three of them, and said solemnly: "Thank you!"
Whoosh—
The barrier shook steadily, splitting a gap wide enough for one person to pass through.
Li Chenqiu did not hesitate, took a step, and left the Firefly Shuttle. Then, Ying Xiu controlled the Firefly Shuttle and headed towards the spatial rift.
"Are you alright?" Wenren Qing stepped forward and sized Li Chenqiu up from head to toe.
Li Chenqiu smiled and shook his arms: "I'm fine, everything's fine."
Wenren Qing put his hand on his shoulder and said coldly: "It's good that you're alright. Don't be so reckless next time you encounter something. You won't always be so lucky."
Li Chenqiu nodded seriously: "Okay, I won't next time."
"Li Chenqiu, Director Wenren hasn't had a good night's sleep these days because of your matter. You must thank Director Wenren properly when you get back!" Duan Xian said with feigned joy.
"Definitely." Li Chenqiu paused, his eyebrows slightly curved, and he glanced at Duan Xian without leaving a trace: "I will definitely thank you properly."
Duan Xian's eyes gradually turned cold, and his hands hidden in the shadows slowly clenched.
Wenren Qing didn't seem to notice this, and said lightly: "There's nothing to thank, I didn't help much. Let's go, the top priority is to return to the Star Plucking Academy. The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it is."
"Okay."
"Alright."
Li Chenqiu and Duan Xian responded.
In the next second, only a few "whoosh" sounds were heard, and the three of them pulled out blurry afterimages, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed into the spatial rift and left this alien space.
……
Rumble!!!
Blinding light burst in the dark clouds, and deep red lightning bolts danced wildly like a group of snakes, wantonly twisting their bodies in the clouds, venting their inner violence!
The狂风 howled like thousands of evil ghosts, and together with the towering waves that had lost their minds, they desperately beat and shook Green Island!
Large chunks of rock rolled back and forth on the island like glass balls, pressing out hideous ravines.
Looking down from a high altitude, Green Island at this time is like a small sailboat, struggling to survive in the huge waves, and may be smashed into pieces by the huge waves at any time.
This is the current situation of Green Island, and also the place where everyone is.
In the center of Green Island.
The people who left the alien space first gathered together sparsely, looking around blankly.
"This… what's going on?"
"Where did you bring me, is this still Green Island?"
"Red lightning, this can't be… it can't be the Silent Sea of the Cursed Land!"
"Silent Sea! Are you kidding me, how could we be in the Silent Sea?!"
Hearing the word Silent Sea, everyone's faces became even paler, and some even had facial muscles that couldn't stop twitching!
The word Silent Sea, or rather this Cursed Land, is familiar to everyone present, because its reputation is too great!
Fifty years ago, the Silent Sea appeared in everyone's sight. At that time, everyone thought it was a very ordinary Cursed Land and formed teams to explore it.
However, they soon paid the price for their contempt. From the fourth and fifth levels of prohibition to the eleventh and twelfth levels of prohibition, no one survived, and all died in the Silent Sea!
Even the top experts of the fourteenth level of prohibition find it difficult to go deep into the Silent Sea, and are blocked outside by the thunder and storm area of the Silent Sea, unable to make an inch!
In the past fifty years, it is rumored that only one person has entered the Silent Sea and walked out alive. As for who this person is, no one knows.
"Red lightning, it seems that there is no other place except the Silent Sea, it's over!"
A man wearing a vest collapsed on the ground, his eyes filled with thick despair.
Soon, more and more people rushed out of the spatial rift. After seeing the violent red lightning in the cloudy sky, their faces showed the same fear and despair as others.
Of course, there are also exceptions, such as Li Chenqiu, who knows very little.
"This red lightning looks... pretty good," Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, looking up.
As soon as these words came out, everyone around turned their heads and looked at Li Chenqiu like an idiot, their eyes seemed to be saying: Buddy, we have the same eyes, why is your perspective on things so novel?
