Chapter 884: What is that thing?
As always, the method was the same as when they came.
Xu Que borrowed the power of the system, and after activating the Sky-Breaking Talisman, images of the Four Great Continents flashed in his mind.
His consciousness was powerful, accurately and clearly locating the Four Great Continents, wanting to return.
The Sky-Breaking Talisman instantly surged with vast rune power, shrouding their group and stepping into the void tunnel.
These rune powers were like a small boat, protecting them as they sailed in the void abyss, which was like a boundless sea.
Xu Que's consciousness pointed directly to the Four Great Continents, just like a driver or a compass, accurately fixing the direction.
At this moment, the surrounding environment was the same as when they came, pitch black, unable to see one's fingers.
The group's speed was incredibly fast; even without reference objects, they clearly felt their bodies rushing madly at an incredible speed.
Xu Que poured out most of his True Essence to protect Xu Feifei's body, and even Jiang Hongyan split off a portion of her power to protect Xu Feifei.
After all, she was ultimately still a mortal body. Experiencing this kind of rapid void shuttle, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. Even with the protection of the Sky-Breaking Talisman, Xu Feifei could easily be injured, or even shattered under the powerful tearing force of the void, so they had to be a bit cautious.
Fortunately, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan's strength was powerful enough. After protecting Xu Feifei, she didn't show any painful expression, still looking at the pitch-black void all around and the sparse stars visible in the distance with a dazed look, her face still carrying a trace of nervousness and unease.
This was her first time stepping into space, or more accurately, it should be the void.
After all, this place had already transcended the interface of space, directly penetrating into the void tunnel, one layer deeper than space.
"Awoo, Eight-Headed Serpent, you are too dedicated, still massaging this Divine Venerable at this moment. This spirit is worth encouraging. When this Divine Venerable arrives at the Four Great Continents, I will definitely treat you to authentic stinky tofu." Er Gouzi said excitedly, its mood very pleasant.
Even at such a time, it could still feel the Teddy dog exercising on its head, endless.
"Pfft!" Xu Que laughed out loud on the spot, speechless.
The Eight-Headed Serpent had been pitted miserably this time. After entering the Teddy dog's body, it couldn't suppress the Teddy dog's own behavioral habits at all, twitching its body all the time, unable to stop.
"Kid, what are you laughing at, jealous?" Er Gouzi glared at Xu Que, full of showing off and triumph.
"No, no, no, I'm just happy for you, very gratified!" Xu Que couldn't help but laugh.
Er Gouzi blinked: "Why?"
"Wishing you happiness!" Xu Que said meaningfully.
Boom!
At this moment, in the deep pitch-black void, the group's speed suddenly accelerated, as if a giant force was suddenly pushing them forward.
Having had the experience from last time, Xu Que also understood that they had officially entered the void orbit. The front was just a running start; this was the tunnel that truly reduced time and distance. As long as they passed through this area, they would soon arrive at the Four Great Continents.
This feeling was like crossing planes or spaces, taking a shortcut!
"Holy crap, kid, look quickly, there's something ahead again!" At this moment, Er Gouzi suddenly cried out.
Xu Que looked up suddenly, and sure enough, a behemoth was rushing over in the distance.
One second it was still far away, and in the blink of an eye, that behemoth had already brushed past them.
"Hiss!"
However, after seeing the behemoth clearly, Xu Que and Er Gouzi gasped, full of horror.
Jiang Hongyan's face also froze, her beautiful eyes flickering.
Xu Feifei opened her mouth wide on the spot, unable to believe it, trembling: "Brother, just now... what was that? A hand?"
"Hmm, it was indeed a hand!" Xu Que nodded.
The behemoth that had just brushed past and flown away was indeed an incomparably huge severed arm.
They could even see the wound on that severed arm, very neat, having been severed by some kind of sharp object, and golden blood was still flowing from the wound, without scabbing.
But what was bizarre was that the severed arm was also too big, like a mountain range, terrifyingly so!
"Damn, how could there be such a big hand?" Er Gouzi said in horror.
"It's very strange! That severed arm looks very ancient, that kind of primitive aura, it must have existed for at least tens of thousands of years to possess it, but the blood on it hasn't dried up yet, and it's golden blood!" Xu Que was also stunned.
Following the huge demon beast he had encountered when returning to Earth last time, this time he had encountered a severed arm as big as a mountain; it was simply too bizarre.
But Xu Que knew very clearly that the area they were passing through was just a drop in the ocean of the boundless void, as tiny as a grain of rice in the sea.
The things they encountered were definitely not all of it.
In this deep and vast void, there must exist many bizarre things they had never heard of.
"Could it be the first generation of humans from ancient times? This Divine Venerable said before that the initial humans were all very huge, and each one was a deity!" Er Gouzi said.
"Would a deity still have their hand severed by someone?" Xu Que frowned.
It wasn't that he didn't believe in the existence of deities, but he believed that reaching that realm, if they were still having their hand severed by someone, wouldn't that mean there was an even more terrifying power existing above them.
"Ding, attention, detected that the power of the Sky-Breaking Talisman is about to be exhausted, unable to reach the destination, suggest the host change the destination immediately!"
Just at this moment, the system prompt suddenly sounded in Xu Que's mind.
He was startled, came back to his senses, and his face suddenly changed.
The rune power that had been acting as an escort outside their bodies was indeed decaying rapidly.
"What's going on? It was clearly enough when we came, and there was even a lot of the Sky-Breaking Talisman's power left, how come it's not enough when we go back?" Xu Que hurriedly asked the system.
The system responded quickly: "Ding, after detection, the host traveling with people without cultivation has caused great loss to the Sky-Breaking Talisman!"
Fuck!
Xu Que's eyes widened immediately, looking at the data presented on the system interface, which showed that Xu Feifei alone had consumed 60% of the Sky-Breaking Talisman's rune power.
Clearly, this was because her mortal body required the Sky-Breaking Talisman to exert more power for protection, causing excessive loss.
"Damn, this is awkward. You profiteering system, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have upgraded you and refined a few new Sky-Breaking Talismans!" Xu Que said angrily.
"Ding, due to the great variability of the Sky-Breaking Talisman's travel path, and the different routes for coming and going, the system was also unable to judge and calculate."
"Damn, then what should we do now? Don't tell me we have to turn back to Earth? No, that's not right! The road back to Earth now is probably even more distant than the road back to the Four Great Continents!" Xu Que was anxious.
The most awkward situation now was that the rune power was about to be exhausted, but he had no way of knowing if there was any place nearby where they could temporarily stay, because the location specified by the Sky-Breaking Talisman had to be real and still have an impression in his mind!
"Little one, what's wrong?" At this moment, Jiang Hongyan had already noticed the change in Xu Que's expression and asked softly.
"Something happened, the power of the Sky-Breaking Talisman is decaying!" Xu Que smiled bitterly.
He truly hadn't expected that the Sky-Breaking Talisman, which he had estimated could take a few more people, would actually not have enough rune power after taking Xu Feifei and the Eight-Headed Serpent this time!
"Holy crap, kid, don't joke! If this rune power is gone, we're dead! Instantly annihilated!" Er Gouzi shouted.
Even if its physical body was tough again, it couldn't compare to those huge demon beasts or that severed arm. Once it fell directly into the void tunnel, it might also be crushed into powder on the spot.
Xu Que's face was solemn, questioning the system, but the system couldn't give any good method. The only thing that could protect him was that Life and Death Wheel Immortal Artifact.
One Immortal Artifact could protect one person; he himself carried one, and Jiang Hongyan also had one.
In other words, once the rune power was exhausted, the only ones who could survive would be him and Jiang Hongyan.
This was definitely not the result Xu Que wanted.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded ahead.
Xu Que came back to his senses, looked up, and was suddenly startled.
"Holy crap!"
Er Gouzi also cried out instantly: "What is that thing? How could it appear in this kind of place?"
