Chapter 4125: Crossing Life and Death
Jia Lin Na's tail tip poked Xia De's arm again. She was getting more and more used to doing this:
"Forget about the boat for a moment, did you hear the sound of water?"
The deafening rumbling sound of water really appeared, and it was getting louder and louder. Everyone turned to look behind them, and then they saw the sea of blood surging, and a wall of blood at least twenty meters high was covering them from not far away. This place was about to be submerged.
"Run!"
Jia Lin Na picked up the halfling girl beside her and rushed forward. Xia De and Madame Madame Sangmei cast spells backward together. The power of frost couldn't freeze the rolling blood water that was covering them, and the divine art of the Church of Creation was useless against this kind of blood water.
"Don't try, run!"
Miss Miss Feilian urged. While Xia De and the old witch were running wildly to catch up with Jia Lin Na, she said:
"The liquid behind is different from all the liquids you have contacted before. Its nature... dissolves everything. Is this the 'mother liquid' mentioned by the god just now?"
"I know quite a few mother liquids, the mother liquid in the maternity ward, the mother liquid of pseudo-humans. What is this factory mother liquid?"
Jia Lin Na's level was not as good as the old witch's, but the physical strength of a young mother dragon in her prime was definitely not something an elderly human witch could compare to. Seeing that Madame Madame Sangmei was about to fall behind, Xia De grabbed her and carried her on his back, and Miss Miss Feilian moved to let the old witch hold on tight to Xia De.
The petite doll lady was actually still conducting academic analysis at such a time:
"The existence of this factory has been judged to be meaningful, so all the functional areas and ritual steps inside should be meaningful. Now this blood water that is about to submerge everything is highly likely to be a cleaning agent. Yes, the newborn chaotic life has perished, and a red blood water washes everything away, waiting for the next round of visitors to arrive."
She was very happy that she had guessed the truth:
"I think if we lost, these red waters would be the final insurance, ensuring that the newborn life would also dissolve in it. But that huge life force failed to be released, I'm afraid the sacrificial victims called for the next round will appear very quickly."
"Miss Miss Feilian, do we have to keep running?"
After hearing that those liquids could dissolve all flesh and blood, the panicked Jia Lin Na wrapped her big tail around her waist while running.
Miss Miss Feilian shook her head:
"This question should be asked to Xia De. Xia De, what is your answer?"
"Before all the flesh and blood perishes, we must find a boat here, carry us across the cycle of death and life, and return to the real world. Not our own boat, there is definitely a boat here!"
Jia Lin Na didn't understand, but this didn't prevent her from clamping Miss Ludew Jin Wei and continuing to run:
"Where is the boat?"
"There! I saw it!"
The halfling girl, who was almost out of breath, shouted, and there was really something in the depths of the blood mist. The group of people running wildly continued to move forward, only to see that it was a stone coffin, but it also looked like a cradle.
"It's this! It's exactly the same as the one in the maternity ward! This is the only way out left by God for us, hurry in!"
He urged. Jia Lin Na, who was in front, jumped into the stone coffin like diving, and then Madame Madame Sangmei was also stuffed in by Xia De.
At this moment, the rumbling sound of water was getting closer, and the waves of the blood sea were only less than five seconds away from hitting them.
Jia Lin Na's face changed greatly, because the total volume of this stone coffin was smaller than the metal coffin just now, but the inner wall was much thicker than the metal coffin. It was very crowded for all three of them to enter, and it was impossible for Xia De, who had the body shape of a normal human male, to squeeze in later.
"Xia De, you don't..."
Xia De certainly didn't intend to sacrifice himself here. He first threw the doll lady toward the coffin, and then jumped over himself. While soaring into the air, his whole body was wrapped in silver moonlight, and finally turned into a petite silver cat—actually, turning into a snake would have a smaller volume, but he was already used to turning into a cat.
"Close the lid quickly!"
Jia Lin Na lay back, the lid that was originally leaning against the side of the coffin flew up, and then covered everyone with a bang. Darkness descended, and that loud bang was not just the sound of the stone coffin lid closing, but the blood sea also hit at that time.
It was as if a giant hammer had hit the coffin, and everyone in the coffin felt their scalps go numb. But fortunately, the hastily closed stone coffin lid didn't leave any gaps, and the stone coffin itself didn't show any cracks under the impact.
The witches and Xia De cat all held their breath, feeling the stone coffin float up. But the coffin not only protected them, but also strictly limited everyone's perception, and no one knew what was going on outside now.
"The witch who defeated 【Life】 last time was the witch whose coffin was taken by us. She also mentioned a boat in the words she left behind, so she knew how to leave here?"
A moment later, the halfling girl, who was still squeezed with Jia Lin Na's tail, said in a muffled voice:
"Then why did she still die here?"
"She shouldn't have had the means to protect against flesh deformation, so even if she defeated 【Life】, she couldn't leave. She was a noble person and left clues to let those who had a chance to leave later leave."
The old witch's voice was also muffled in the coffin, as she was the last one to enter the coffin besides Xia De cat, so her back was almost against the lid:
"It's a pity she didn't leave her name, otherwise she would be qualified to be canonized as a saint."
"I'm actually more curious about how long we have to drift here... Ah!"
Jia Lin Na screamed suddenly halfway through:
"Xia De, don't move around, there are other people here..."
"It's not me, I'm fighting with something, I didn't mean to. Wait a minute, Little Mia!"
The voice of Xia De cat came from Jia Lin Na's chest. Finally, the little doll lit up with light, and everyone saw the silver kitten and the orange-white kitten "hugging" together on Jia Lin Na's chest.
Or rather, Little Mia wanted to rub against Xia De cat, but was constantly pushed away by Xia De cat.
"It's Little Mia..."
The dragon girl was still disappointed, and Xia De finally managed to soothe the somewhat excited cat. This cat found that Xia De cat couldn't move now, so it ran out again. However, it was safe here, so it didn't matter if it ran out.
"I don't know how long we have to drift either. The time and space outside are completely chaotic now. I even feel like we are at the bottom of the sea."
Xia De cat said. Jia Lin Na thought of her illusion about the pink beach and the sea of blood again. She told what she saw, but this was of no help to improving the current situation.
"I thought of some mythological stories."
The old witch said. Although her back was against the coffin lid, the space for movement was still quite spacious:
"We can also be considered to be born from death. The god said we have to cross life and death, and the words left by the previous witch also had similar meanings. I think we are going to experience the reverse cycle from death to life, or rather, we are heading toward rebirth."
"Are we going to be reborn by someone?"
The halfling girl asked, but obviously that couldn't be the case.
"We probably have to cross the ocean of death and drift toward the ocean where life originated, and then we can truly go back."
The old witch, who had just learned about the "Sea of Origin" in the "library," said:
"This is the same as the knowledge I just learned."
Xia De cat then asked:
"The ocean of death? Our current position, wouldn't it be in real death? Do we have to find a way to go to the next ocean from here?"
The moment he made the guess, everyone vaguely realized a direction, and that direction was the direction home. But without the traction from the outside, this time no one could make the coffin move.
"It's good that it's here, let me, let me."
The cat shook its body in front of the dragon girl, causing the girl to be shy again. Soon a bag of bone powder was shaken out by him, but not knowing the situation outside, Xia De cat didn't dare to open the coffin rashly and sprinkle the bone powder out.
But if the outside was no longer a sea of blood but 【Real Death】, then maybe he didn't need to consume bone powder at all. After all, that small boat had long belonged here.
The cat emptied its mind and tried to sense. Little Mia took the opportunity to rub against it again, and then showed a very happy expression.
A moment later, the small wooden boat was really summoned outside the coffin again, and then the boat carried the coffin and began to move, and the direction was the direction everyone sensed. But even so, Xia De still wasn't sure what was outside. The edge between life and death didn't need to be very clear.
Maybe it was only one or two seconds, or maybe a long time passed. After a vibration, the coffin stopped again.
"I lost control of that boat. We should have arrived in a new area. My boat can't sail here."
Xia De actually originally thought that his boat could sail in any area with the concept of "river" or "ocean." At this moment, losing its effect was highly likely because the boat originated before the Underworld Moon.
"Is the outside the so-called Sea of Origin?"
Jia Lin Na asked, but without opening the lid, everyone still couldn't be sure. They could still sense a direction in their hearts, and that direction was the direction home. But without the external traction, this time no one could make the coffin move.
"We seem to be floating on the water, sticking to the coffin wall. I can hear the sound of liquid slapping outside."
The halfling girl, who was squeezed to the side by Jia Lin Na's tail, said. Others also tilted their ears to listen, and sure enough, they could hear the sound of waves.
"Then, should we open the lid?"
Jia Lin Na asked for the opinions of Xia De and Miss Miss Feilian, but they actually didn't approve of peeking at the "Sea of Origin." If that place was really the place where the Old Gods created all races, no one could guarantee that they could withstand that kind of "miracle."
Xia De had an idea:
"In the rules of death, once you enter real death, you can never look back. But there is a special case that doesn't violate the rules, which is to exchange death for death. If one soul leaves, another extra soul must enter."
"Then, if we living people want to safely cross the ocean representing 'the beginning of life', shouldn't we leave other lives here?"
"Dolls."
Miss Miss Feilian said, and everyone suddenly realized. So all four dolls were found.
Miss Miss Feilian doesn't count as a real life now, so she doesn't have to abandon this body. Although Little Mia counts as life, Miss Miss Feilian didn't know why she let Xia De not consider the cat, so Xia De didn't ask. ===== CHAPTER 4126 =====
