The Spirit World

Chapter 417 Enough
chain!

Blood!

dark!

Chang Yufeng opened his eyes and felt a sharp pain, as if a silver needle was twisting deep into his bone marrow. The clicking chains made his nerves tense. The black chains passed through his wrists to his elbows, then climbed up to lock his shoulder blades, as if they were afraid that a small movement on his part would be a breakthrough that would allow him to escape from this dark cage.

There was a shackle around his neck, with red marks all over it, like a blooming red lotus with its petals neatly winding and twisting, which was indescribably weird.

He looked over. The ground was pitch black, a dark black that left no trace of other colors. Sticky blood was flowing on the ground, rolling slowly like mud. He couldn't see what was holding him in place, but even from that point of view, it was pitch black here, with only a little light above his head...

He looked up and his neck moved with difficulty, making a cracking sound. There was a tiny window high above his head. His originally expressionless and even slightly painful face now showed a hint of shock.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

Because, it's the exact opposite of those sticky substances!
Outside... there were blue sky and white clouds, and even the low chirping of bluebirds could be heard. The sound was full of vitality. Compared with the lifeless and even depressing feeling here, the huge difference in feeling forced him to stop and think.

Why did it become like this?

At least, I am still alive, and this is the most important point. Only by being alive can I think of solutions.

I am not in a state of death now, there is no need to confirm this, because I can feel absolute pain even without moving. This pain is not ordinary pain, but at least I have enough strength as a backup to appropriately alleviate this torture-like pain.

There were the sounds of very young children playing outside. They were laughing and surprisingly happy. The rustling sounds of their bare feet running on the grass came one after another. Although it was not clear what the situation was like outside, one could clearly realize that there was a world of difference here. Only after getting out of this cage could one make the next judgment.

However, although it only takes a little thought to imagine such a thing, it is extremely difficult to put it into practice.

Chang Yufeng did not make enough attempts, because any slight attempt to break free, or even any large movement, would bring his attempts to an abrupt end, as the thing on his neck would tighten sharply, as if strangling his own neck, suffocating him, or even bringing him close to real death.

Lan Luo imprisoned him in this way, or rather, this simple imprisonment seemed cruel enough and simple enough.

Chang Yufeng tried to move his arms, and the black flames rose like drizzle, but the fire was too small, just a few dots on his shoulder blades.

The place where the shoulder blade touched the black chain - that is, the hollow part of the bone was healing rapidly because of Xun Huangying's power. Or, in other words, the power exerted by the black chain on Chang Yufeng was not as strong as Xun Huangying's power. Although it was not a unilateral suppression by Xun Huangying's power, it should be said that it was a kind of luck...

Because he was lucky enough, he stood on Xunhuangying's side, and was in the same boat with Xunhuangying, and was able to escape death.

and many more……

It seemed as if the fact that he was being hunted down and even being mercilessly imprisoned was "attributed" to the fact that he was Xun Huangying's "companion".

Well, I don’t know whether it’s lucky or unlucky.

No, this cannot be blamed on Xun Huangying. This is the path he chose.

Yu Su also said that she had the right to choose, but that was... in the distant past. For that young man who still had the fire in his heart, there might have been two paths to take, but now, there is only one.

That is to fight a life-and-death battle with Lan Luo to decide the winner.

"Cough..." His throat trembled painfully because of the tightening of the chain. He tried to relax his whole body, which would make him feel better.

Is there any way to feel your own strength? Or, have enough strength to break through this chain in an instant, which is also a kind of attempt. At least you should try, otherwise you will never get out.

"call……"

Okay, now my whole body is relaxed. Although the chain has not been loosened, it is not being tightened either.

Can you make coherent movements?
Xun Huangying was powerful enough to allow him to endure such horrific torture and still have the energy left to take the next step.

My fingers have become increasingly unfamiliar because they have not been moved for a long time and because I have not felt my intuition for a long time, but despite this, I still have to recover as soon as possible.

The chirping of birds and the singing of crickets can be heard from time to time... Crickets only appear in the summer... It's probably a sunny day outside, maybe not hot, but it should be able to make people feel the presence of summer.

"what……"

He growled softly...his Adam's apple moved up and down on the iron chain.

His wrists and elbows could each be felt slightly, and the pain in these places came one after another, as if the paralyzed nerves were suddenly unblocked, causing him to growl softly in pain.

Then, the knee...

I can feel it in my knees too...

However, this feeling of being pieced together discontinuously made him feel like a puppet that had not yet been assembled. This feeling was terrible, just like amputation, with broken arms and limbs connected together by chains. Although it was weird, he could really feel that there was a string pulling him.

Move... a little?
Chang Yufeng tried to slowly clench his hands. His stiff fingers moved slowly, and the bones that had not moved for a long time began to crackle again.

"Well……"

It happened so fast! The chain around his neck suddenly snapped like a rabbit, pulling his neck tightly! He had no time to resist or even react.

He felt the pain on his neck with horrified eyes, and the feeling of suffocation forced him to quickly release his stiff fingers, just like an old man who would die if he collapsed and let go, rolling his eyes.

Good thing...

He himself did not have much power to control himself. Those things were like limbs and joints broken off somewhere else, all helpless. Although he wanted to listen to the commands of his brain, he was simply unable to do so. He could only relax, relax.

You also have to relax...

His eyes that were almost bloodshot, and the marks on his neck, forced Chang Yufeng to calm down quickly.

calm……

Relax……

call……

Chang Yufeng opened his eyes wide, watching the black, sticky liquid becoming thicker and thicker...

"en——hen——"

The chains loosened, and Chang Yufeng was able to take a deep breath...

The pain of his locked bones was not his biggest headache; the feeling of suffocation was. It left him with lingering fears. Not knowing what was going on, he strangled his neck countless times, feeling painful, and even passed out without warning. Not knowing what was going on, he struggled even harder, causing the pain of suffocation to come faster and more directly.

Fortunately-

There is a shadow of the wilderness——

It might not be inappropriate to thank Xun Huangying for his strength at this time, but... there is one thing that Chang Yufeng can still feel fortunate for, that is...

When he raised his head to breathe painfully, a small bluebird flew to the small window, chirping, jumping lightly on the window, and then lowered its head to peck at something on the small window.

That kind of briskness must be the result of someone who is used to a leisurely and carefree lifestyle.

Chang Yufeng became more and more curious about what the outside world was like, where this place was, and why it was like this.

The bluebird was not very clear because of the backlight, and there was only a blurry shadow. It sometimes lowered its head to peck at food, sometimes tilted its head to look at him, and then flapped its wings. Its posture was light and graceful, just like a little girl in green showing off her beautiful clothes.

Ordinary birds are not like this. Even if they see a stranger, they will not stay like this, or be so spiritual. This is a bit rare, making him feel that he must have seen this bluebird, or rather, this bluebird has seen him.

"Hehe..." Chang Yufeng couldn't help but chuckle when he had such an idea. It was true that birds could recognize people, but such a guess might be too blunt.

Feel the power...

"The first level of the Heavenly Demon...Open!"

The flame seemed to appear on his body calmly, very faint, even as if it was there and not there.

Those dark flames gently burned those black chains.

Perhaps, this was not a good idea. His roar forced him to face the tightly tightened chains again... They rustled, locking Chang Yufeng's throat tightly like running water...

This time, Chang Yufeng was unwilling to try to relax. He wanted to try and see what the limit was...

The bloodshot in his eyes came up again before it faded away, and even became more and more intense.

The power of the chains was terrifying! There was no time to even think! Chang Yufeng clenched his fists tightly. Although he opened his mouth wide, he couldn't drink anything. The flames from his tightly clenched fists became stronger and stronger. He roared as hard as he could, and the dark flames became more and more vigorous. Not only his fists, but even those originally small groups of flames spread vigorously on his body.

Then, he was transformed into a deeper level of demon. His eyes began to be covered with black sclera and red pupils. Air currents flowed upwards, blowing up his scattered hair and revealing his forehead. He could not see that a small plum blossom mark was quietly forming on his forehead.

The black substance slowly, slowly climbed up his entire body...

This shocked Chang Yufeng greatly!
These unknown objects were being attracted by the flames generated by the first level of the Heavenly Demon, and they slowly climbed up his body, from his feet to his knees...

When experiencing the painful shackles around his neck again, Chang Yufeng quickly calmed down, the flames receded in an instant, and then Chang Yufeng quickly released his fists, and then took a calm deep breath. Even though he was trapped by the shackles, he quickly calmed down and waited for the shackles to loosen.

This pain is not as painful as just now. Although it feels very strange, it is like this. Xunhuangying's power is being used continuously to relieve his pain.

So that I can face it so calmly.

The black sticky substance adhering below the knees seemed to suddenly lose interest, becoming soft all of a sudden, even flowing down like water, and mixing again with the stagnant sticky substance in front of it.

It seems that the action I am about to take has already been guessed by others...

Although I don’t know what will happen if I am covered by that sticky substance, at least I should avoid such a thing from happening.

The bird fluttered away, leaving only the blue sky and white clouds on the small window. The clouds drifted away in the sky, and their shapes were like irregular cotton candy. Even in this situation, Chang Yufeng could feel the beauty outside...

This is……

A torture?

Yearning for the outside world, but can only stay here... and there is no way to struggle.

Chang Yufeng found it funny again. This could not be considered as torture at all, at least it should not be considered as torture to himself.

Because, perhaps all he needed was to wait quietly. Even though he felt that if he stayed here, Lin'er outside might be in danger and he would have to escape anxiously, this really could not be considered a torture. He had enough patience and confidence to wait for the Supreme King to save him.

When should things turn around?

Maybe fast, maybe slow.

But it definitely shouldn't be now. Chang Yufeng felt that he should have enough considerations to recall what he had experienced, the enemies he would face, and the path he should choose.

This was not easy. A few days ago, he sat on the water platform and thought about what to do...

After calculating step by step, my own insignificance seemed too real and powerless.

Even with Xun Huangying as his strong backing, he was still manipulated by others. Perhaps, the problem really lies with himself...

Even if... Xunhuangying helped him hide his aura, his hiding place would still be found by others. The problem here is actually very big.

Being imprisoned here in such a terrifying way, it must be that there is something wrong with me...

And the problem is serious enough.

How did you find yourself?
Or is it that I am emitting some aura that I am not even aware of, so that it is remembered by people with ulterior motives, leading to the distressing situation of being constantly being calculated by others?

Would it be strange... I don't interact with others... I don't expose my thoughts too much, and I even have enough opportunities to hide myself. In the Dragon Assembly, I didn't stand out too much to cause others to suspect me, because this kind of thing is very strange and unpredictable. Who knew that I would participate in this Dragon Assembly? And I have made such a detailed plan, even guessing that I would use a small prop like invisibility powder, and carried out a precise attack.

No matter how suspicious the previous ones are, it is okay to regard them as coincidences, but this point is worth pondering.

Plus……

The timing of Lin'er's appearance... including Locke's interception of Lin'er and the harm he inflicted on her at other times...

The more he thought about it, the weirder it became, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't stop...

It's all so weird...

He cannot rule out the possibility that Xun Huangying is also plotting against him behind his back, but as of now, he speculates that there is a person who knows all of his actions just like Xun Huangying and has the ability of predictive knowledge.

People like this...

who can that be?

or……

Not a human.

But...

God...

Tower of Babel...

Xun Huangying mentioned the Tower of Babel, but didn't elaborate on what it was for...

That great demon king nicknamed Chuchu… that awakened Lin’er… even Xun Huangying… were all vaguely searching for the Tower of Babel…

Then there are a lot of trivial things.

If I want to break through this kind of surveillance, I have to put aside trivial matters...

Wandering Clouds and Flying Fairy Talisman...

A very strange idea formed in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud...

He was shocked, but now he is... calm.

His eyes, calm as water, looked towards the small window again.

This time, he was frightened again and broke out in a cold sweat.

A pair of ice-blue eyes, staring straight at him as if their sockets were about to burst open, were filled with anger!
