Become a god from scratch

Chapter 69 The shaking bridge! The unknown horror! [First order required]

"So this Taiyuan Base was essentially built for the Taiyuan Bridge?"

Looking at the huge dark blue vortex in front of him that seemed to emerge from the void, even though Lin Xuan had been a human for two lifetimes, he couldn't help but be shocked.

However, what made Lin Xuan a little strange was that most of the other people around him also looked shocked?
"Brother Yan, is this your first time seeing a 'bridge' as well?" Looking at Xing Yan with his eyes wide open, Lin Xuan asked in a low voice.

Xing Yan shook his head and said, "How could that be? There is a 'bridge' near Tianhai Island, called Sanshui Bridge. I went there to play when I was a child. Last year, my father took me to Jiutu once and stayed there for three days."

Lin Xuan shouldn't have been surprised to hear Xing Yan's answer.

After all, Xing Yan is the son of Xing Taisen, the owner of the Tianhai underground island. How could he have never seen the "bridge"?
It turns out that Xing Yan had not only seen it, but had also been to the Old Earth World when he was seven years old.

But since Xing Yan had not only seen the 'bridge', but had even been to the Old Earth World, why did he have the same reaction as him?
"Unless this Taiyuan Bridge is different from other 'bridges'."

Xing Yan's answer actually gave Lin Xuan the answer, and after Xing Yan finished speaking, he also realized why Lin Xuan asked this question.

"I don't know what the other 'bridges' are like, but the Three Waters Bridge is probably less than one-fifth the size of this one."

Xing Yan pointed to the huge dark blue vortex not far away and said, "Also, although there is a so-called base next to the Sanshui Bridge, there may not even be a hundred people stationed there. It is completely different from here."

Xing Yan's addition undoubtedly further verified Lin Xuan's guess.

This Taiyuan Bridge is indeed different from other "bridges".

However, this time Li Guosheng had no intention of clarifying the doubts. After exchanging military salutes with the officers stationed there, he walked to the front of Group 2.

The other three mentors also returned to their positions at this time.

"Hey, boys, follow—"

Hu Shan, a little old man with a goatee, was already leading the way towards the huge dark blue vortex, and a group of people quickly followed, not daring to be careless.

Even Suale, who is usually carefree, was very honest at this moment.

Under Lin Xuan's gaze, a group of people led by Hu Shan silently sank into the huge dark blue vortex one by one.

Looking from the side, you can clearly see that these people have completely disappeared after being immersed in the huge dark blue vortex.

"Follow!"

When all members of Group 1 left, Li Guosheng and Group 2 followed closely and sank into the huge dark blue vortex.

Following closely behind were naturally the three groups that Lin Xuan and his group were in.

Looking at the huge dark blue vortex that was getting closer and closer, Lin Xuan would be lying if he said he was not nervous at all.

No matter how mature he is mentally, he will always feel uneasy about something he has never experienced before.

However, when he actually stepped into it, his previous nervousness finally subsided a lot, and he finally understood why these passages leading to the old earth world were named "bridges".

“It really is a bridge…”

Looking at the dark blue light bridge leading to another vortex under his feet, this strange scene made Lin Xuan feel very novel.

Outside the dark blue light bridge, there was a seemingly boundless darkness, and the light emitted from the light bridge could only illuminate them who were on the bridge.

"Don't stare at the area outside the 'bridge', and don't get close to the edge. Once you leave the range of the 'bridge', I can't save you."

Vice President Pei's voice came from the front, making Lin Xuan's heart tighten.

Of course he knew that Vice President Pei was not talking to him alone, because he was not the only one who was looking around curiously.

"Don't stare at the area outside the 'bridge', and don't get close to the edge... Why do you say that? Is there something outside the 'bridge' that can affect the people on the 'bridge'?"

Glancing at the boundless darkness outside the "bridge", combined with what Vice President Pei had just said, it was hard for Lin Xuan not to think too much.

When people face the vastness of the unknown, they tend to feel fear, whether it is thalassophobia or astronomical phobia.

But compared to the boundless darkness around at this moment, both the starry sky and the deep sea are obviously not enough.

suddenly!

Lin Xuan felt a slight vibration under his feet!
This sudden change caused the young men on the bridge to panic, and even Xing Yan, who had been to the Old Earth World, was no exception.

At the same time, Vice President Pei's voice was heard:
"Don't be afraid, don't move, everyone lie down on the bridge and keep yourself stable!"

Following Vice President Pei's order, Lin Xuan and the others immediately followed suit.

When Lin Xuan and the others lay on the "bridge", the light bridge below began to vibrate more obviously, as if an earthquake had suddenly occurred.

At this time, Group 1 and Group 2 had not yet reached the other side of the bridge, and they also immediately lay down on the bridge.

It can also be seen from the consistent commands that several instructors seem to be familiar with this situation and most of them have encountered similar situations before.

Before Lin Xuan could think about it, a prompt popped up in his mind:

"Absorbing space crack energy, intermediate energy +0.1"

"Absorbing space crack energy, intermediate energy +0.1"

……

"this!"

This sudden panel prompt surprised Lin Xuan, but at the same time, he was also a little surprised.

Because this was the first time he absorbed intermediate energy after advancing to [Natural Absorption]!

You know, before this, no matter whether he tried to absorb fire or electricity, it could only bring him some primary energy.

This was really the first time he absorbed intermediate energy, and the source of this intermediate energy actually came from the "bridge" itself?
If there hadn't been a sudden change and Vice President Pei ordered them to lie down, he probably wouldn't have discovered that the "bridge" itself was also natural energy.

Different from the previous time when he absorbed the flame from the lighter, when he gained 0.01 of primary energy, it was because that flame only had 0.01 of primary energy, but the current situation was completely opposite.

He can only absorb 0.1 units of intermediate energy at a time because his [Natural Absorption] talent currently has only this efficiency.

Compared to the amazing energy contained in the 'bridge' itself, the amount he absorbed was nothing.

It was only after he began to absorb the energy of the 'bridge' that he truly felt how terrifying the energy of the 'bridge' itself was!
Boom!

Just as Lin Xuan was marveling at the terrifying energy of the Taiyuan Bridge, the entire "bridge" seemed to be hit hard by something, causing the Taiyuan Bridge to sway slightly in the darkness.

Although the swing was not particularly large, it still scared the students on the "bridge".

Some of the younger ones had already started screaming.

All I can say is that fortunately the instructors had the foresight to let them all lie down on the "bridge" in advance, otherwise someone would definitely be affected by the collision.

At this time, there were only three instructors still standing on the bridge, but they were just waiting quietly without any unnecessary movements.

"what?!"

Lin Xuan was originally immersed in the surprise of absorbing intermediate energy for the first time, and then he was startled by the sudden impact. But before he could come to his senses, he suddenly felt an extremely strong evil thought!

This was the greatest evil he had ever felt!
Ever since he acquired the [Evil Thoughts Passage], no matter he was facing the kidnapping incident or facing those desperate criminals on Tianhai Island, the evil thoughts he felt were not even one percent of what he felt now!

At this moment, this evil thought came from right below him, that is, under the "bridge" surface of Taiyuan Bridge!

Lin Xuan didn't know what was under the "bridge", but his [Evil Thoughts] would not sense evil thoughts for no reason. Combined with the swinging and vibrating of the Taiyuan Bridge at this time, he realized that all of this was probably related to each other.

Especially when he sensed it carefully, he found that the evil thought was not even directed at him, he was just a part affected by the evil thought.

But even so, this evil thought still made him feel palpitations, which undoubtedly highlighted the horror of this evil thought.

"Is the source of the evil thoughts directed at us on the Taiyuan Bridge? Or is the Taiyuan Bridge itself also the target of the source of the evil thoughts?"

Lin Xuan kept guessing, but it was difficult to come to a conclusion.

Because he knew too little about all of this, and without any clues, these speculations obviously could not be verified.

"Moved!"

Lin Xuan, who was in a state of unrest, soon felt that the source of the evil thoughts suddenly moved from the bottom of the Taiyuan Bridge to the right.

However, at this moment, he didn't even dare to look to the right.

Vice President Pei had reminded us before not to keep staring at the area outside the "bridge". At that time, the Taiyuan Bridge had not yet vibrated.

Although Lin Xuan was not sure whether the danger that Vice President Pei specifically reminded him of was related to the source of the evil thoughts he felt, based on the principle of not seeking death if possible, Lin Xuan did not dare to look to the right.

However, just because he realized that something was wrong on the right side did not mean that other students would also realize it.

Just when he felt the source of the evil thoughts coming to the right side of Taiyuan Bridge, the next moment, two students suddenly stood up.

This sudden scene startled Lin Xuan!
Of course he understood that something was wrong.

The Taiyuan Bridge was still swinging back and forth slightly, and Vice President Pei did not say that people could stand up now. Under such circumstances, unless someone was extremely depressed, it would be impossible for them to suddenly stand up at this time.

As expected, after standing up, the two students walked towards the right side of Taiyuan Bridge at the same time.

"not good!"

Lin Xuan understood that the two people had probably just accidentally looked to the right of the Taiyuan Bridge and were affected by the source of the evil thoughts.

Naturally, Lin Xuan was not the only one who noticed this scene.

Although other people might not be able to sense the source of the evil thoughts, two members of the same group suddenly stood up for no reason and walked towards the edge of the "bridge". It was obvious that these two people must have encountered trouble.

Lin Xuan's right hand had already reached into his pocket, where there were some marbles with cartoon patterns prepared for him by his second brother Lin Wu. However, they were actually alloy bullets that were harder than steel balls.

This was naturally a hidden weapon he prepared for self-defense.

With his current strength and the [Throwing] skill that he has trained to Lv.3, the lethality of these cartoon marbles is no less than that of bows and arrows.

Besides, it doesn’t matter even if we get discovered.

At his age, it's not too much for him to carry some marbles with him to play with, right? Of course, at this moment, he was not going to play marbles, nor was he going to attack anyone, but was ready to rescue people at any time.

Although his way of saving people might cause the two students to be injured, it was better than losing their lives.

In addition, Lin Xuan also noticed that people like Xie Yi and Chen Donghuang were staring at the legs of the two students without looking outside the bridge, and they seemed ready to attack at any time.

In fact, those two students did not have much presence. They were neither a member of Chen Donghuang's original eight-member group, nor did they have any highlight moments during the assessment.

But this did not affect the three groups of people who were ready to rescue people.

However, before Lin Xuan and the others could take the next step, everyone felt a familiar pressure!

It is Vice President Pei’s martial arts realm!
Moreover, the pressure this time was far more terrifying than the pressure they had felt during the assessment. It was as if a small mountain was suddenly pressing down on them!
"Get down!"

Vice President Pei's calm voice came.

"Plop!" "Plop!"

The two students who were walking towards the "bridge" fell to the ground in an instant, and were then pressed to the ground by an invisible force.

The pressure that Lin Xuan and the others endured was obviously not as great as that endured by the two students, but they still felt some difficulty in breathing.

"The martial spirit realm I felt during the last assessment was indeed a simplified version. No, it might be the same this time..."

Feeling the pressure from Vice President Pei's martial arts field, Lin Xuan finally understood why Xing Yan was so excited when he saw Vice President Pei.

After the three realms of martial arts, each realm has its own world, which is indeed true.

"Damn it, is this going to end?"

Just as Lin Xuan was secretly sighing at the strength of Vice President Pei, the cursing voice of the old man Hu Shan with a goatee suddenly came from the front of Group 3.

Although Lin Xuan no longer had the extra energy to pay attention to the situation of the first two groups of students, since there were people in the third group who were infected, the first two groups would most likely not be spared, and the most that could happen was just a matter of number of people.

Hu Shan suddenly started cursing, it was definitely not just to vent his anger.

"Damn monster, take your grandpa's shot!"

Hu Shan, who had just finished cursing, growled again.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely bright light flashed before Lin Xuan's eyes, followed by a deafening explosion!
As the explosion sounded, Lin Xuan could clearly feel that the shocking evil thoughts coming from the source of the evil thoughts had become much weaker.

"Weihu!"

Vice President Pei's voice rang out again at this time, and the pressure on Lin Xuan and the others instantly disappeared.

Lin Xuan realized something and immediately looked up at Vice Dean Pei in front of him.

At this time, Vice President Pei was facing the right side of Taiyuan Bridge and suddenly punched through the air!
This time, the noise was not as loud as the previous explosion, nor was there any dazzling light like before.

But Lin Xuan, who had been sensing the source of the evil thoughts through the [Evil Thoughts Channel], could clearly feel that the source of the evil thoughts quickly fell back under the Taiyuan Bridge under Vice President Pei's punch in the air.

Moreover, the originally clear evil thoughts soon disappeared completely.

"Seconds, seconds?"

Lin Xuan was a little shocked.

However, Vice President Pei's next words made him realize that the source of the evil thoughts was probably not killed instantly, but was only temporarily repelled.

"Everyone, get up, take them both with you, and go—"

Vice President Pei signaled that the students in Group 3 could stand up, and he urged everyone on without hesitation.

It is not difficult to see from his reaction that the unknown danger may appear again.

"Are you okay, brother Xuanxuan?"

Xing Yan's face was full of fear, but after he stood up, the first thing he did was to care about Lin Xuan.

"I'm fine, let's catch up!"

Lin Xuan signaled Xing Yan to speed up together.

"Yes, leave quickly!"

Recalling the huge noise before, and the Taiyuan Bridge that kept swaying as if it had been hit, Xing Yan shuddered and hurriedly quickened his pace.

……

“This… is the old land?”

After crossing the last section of the light bridge and stepping into another huge dark blue vortex, the scene in front of Lin Xuan had changed.

What appeared before his eyes was a terrain like a crater.

Surrounding it are high mountain walls that block the view, and inside the crater there are many temporary camps.

Compared to the Taiyuan Base on the other side of the Taiyuan Bridge, the environment here is undoubtedly quite harsh, and the style is more like a scavenger camp.

However, what attracted Lin Xuan's attention the most was definitely the gray sky.

It was definitely not dark clouds covering the sky, but the entire sky visible to the naked eye was shrouded in gray fog, and nothing could be seen except the gray fog.

But the strange thing is that even though the sky is covered with gray fog, there is still light penetrating through the fog, illuminating everything in this old land.

Lin Xuan wasn't sure whether it was day or night in the old land now, but no matter which one it was, the light barely made it look like dusk.

"Meet sir!"

When Lin Xuan and his companions came out from this end of the Taiyuan Bridge one after another, soon a one-armed officer and his men arrived here.

After seeing Li Guosheng, the one-armed officer immediately saluted Li Guosheng with excitement.

"Xiao Yang, long time no see."

Li Guosheng, who was always serious, actually showed a stiff smile at this moment, which immediately shocked the students!

This was the first time they saw Li Poker smile!
Even though it was an ugly smile, it was indeed a smile!

A sudden noise behind him made Li Guosheng look back immediately, and all the students instantly returned to silence.

Li Guosheng then turned his head and said to the one-armed officer whom he called "Xiao Yang":

"Let's talk about the past later. Some people haven't come yet."

As he spoke, Li Guosheng turned around again and looked in the direction they came from.

"Yeah...it seems like Group 4 hasn't gotten on the 'bridge' yet!"

It was not until this time that Lin Xuan and the others remembered that there was a group of people behind them, and they immediately looked behind them.

"What the hell?"

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. But when he turned around, Lin Xuan found that the huge dark blue vortex was no longer behind him!
This discovery shocked him greatly, it was even more similar to the source of the evil thoughts he had felt before.

Because of the scene before him, he wondered if the previous incident had caused the Taiyuan Bridge to disappear due to problems.

Fortunately, the next scene dispelled his doubts.

Because the four groups of students led by the instructor Li Qiao seemed to have walked out of nothingness and appeared one after another.

This also made Lin Xuan realize that it was not that the huge dark blue vortex had disappeared, but that the vortex might not have been visible on this side of the old land.

He had also walked out of a vortex before, but he was still a little frightened and had no time to pay attention to whether this side could see the vortex.

It was not until this time that this highlight was finally discovered.

As soon as Li Qiao came out, he looked at Vice President Pei and the others and asked, "What happened earlier? The entrance to the 'bridge' was shaking for a long time. I waited until the shaking stopped before I brought them over."

Li Guosheng said: "What else could it be? It's the Dark Ruins again, but it was temporarily repelled by Old Hu and Dean Pei."

Li Qiao frowned and said, "Isn't this too frequent? I remember that the Taiyuan Bridge was discovered by a 'Dark Ruins Bug' two months ago. How come it was discovered again so soon?"

The goat-bearded old man Hu Shan sighed, "If it's just the Dark Ruins, it's not a big deal. But I'm afraid it will be like the time with the Guluo Bridge. If it makes too much noise and is discovered by other monsters, that would be real trouble."

Vice President Pei said calmly: "That's why the Taiyuan Base exists, isn't it?"

Hu Shan nodded and said, "That's true."

Li Guosheng interrupted at this time: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, don't forget the business."

Upon hearing this, the other three mentors also ended the topic.

"Why did it stop so soon? Let's continue chatting." Lin Xuan, who had been eavesdropping, felt sorry when he saw the instructors stopped communicating.

This kind of eavesdropping has always been the part that interests him the most.

It’s not that he has any quirks, but even though he has tried very hard to collect various information, there are still too many things in this world that he doesn’t understand, especially when it comes to things related to the extraordinary realm.

However, even though he only listened to a short segment, he was able to grasp the key points of the conversations between several mentors.

"The 'Dark Ruins Bug' they mentioned should be the source of the evil thoughts I felt before... From what I heard, it seems that this 'Dark Ruins Bug' appears frequently, and not only around the Taiyuan Bridge?"

Recalling the previous conversation between the four mentors in his mind, Lin Xuan finally matched them.

However, what frightened him the most was Vice President Pei's words, "That's why the Taiyuan Base exists."

Because it sounds like this means that what happened in that boundless dark space may have the potential to affect the Earth Origin Star!

This is also completely different from what he had previously understood!
