Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 901: Chapter 38: The Farthest Distance

No one noticed that in the cave, on the Mafu Stone Pillar, Ye Heng’s blood was slowly seeping into the pillar. The originally smooth surface of the pillar emitted a faint red light as cracks began to appear, resembling silk threads spun by a spider, slowly spreading outward, releasing a mist that seemed like both light and shadow, permeating the cave.

In the three camps locked in a stalemate, no one noticed this bizarre scene.

At the moment of the ground’s tremor, Xiao Xian accidentally slid into the leftmost cave, sensing something was wrong.

Even though Wang Shuai had cautioned her and Yiyi before entering Area 51 that this area was a training base for the US Army, making it highly likely to encounter emergency situations such as night patrols, and possibly US experiments with some untested new weapons in this area.

They were to be on guard for potential attacks, but after walking through an uneventful night, Xiao Xian began to think whether it was too quiet.

The recent tremor, comparable to an earthquake, meant something huge must have happened on the surface.

While falling, she tried to keep her body stable, hoping to fly with the Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors, but unlike when she first entered the cave, her body felt as heavy as iron, plunging downward unceasingly.

After the fall, the stone walls around her became smooth and translucent, exuding a strange yet familiar sensation.

In panic, she put on the test goggles and confirmed that the stone she stood on contained abundant Spiritual Power, a Mafu Stone; she had stepped into a cave entirely covered by Mafu Stone. It was comforting to have finally found Mafu Stone, yet her way back was blocked, leaving her to ponder how to get out.

Xiao Xian felt like a beggar who had fallen into a mountain of gold and was helpless. The smooth Mafu Stone walls extended forward like a mirror that clearly reflected her silhouette.

With no way back, she could only move forward in hope of finding a way out at the end of the stables stone wall.

With this thought, Xiao Xian pressed onward.

The wall stopped reflecting her image, becoming transparent, yet beyond the wall lay a vast whiteness resembling a snowy realm, but Xiao Xian knew that on the other side of the wall lay another cave made entirely of Mafu Stone, similar to where she stood.

Before Xiao Xian fell into this cave, she saw five other caves, and the one with Yiyi’s mark was in the center, underground, where Yiyi could, with the help of a lizard, find the correct location, as for where she was now was a dead end.

Realizing this, a sudden chill went through Xiao Xian’s heart, she might perish here.

To die... trapped here.

No light, no dark, nothing at all.

Since transforming into cosmic void, the sugarcane seedling seemed to have vanished, never having communicated with her again.

At that moment, Xiao Xian selfishly wished for Xiao Bai’s presence.

Her legs trembled slightly as she struggled forward.

The endless whiteness seemed to foretell her imminent demise.

She continued until she reached a wall, where she suddenly saw a person.

Zhou Ziang, Xiao Xian was both shocked and filled with joy, how could he be here?

On the other side of the wall, Zhou Ziang looked somewhat disheveled; Xiao Xian had never seen him like this. With blood at the corners of his mouth and bleeding hands, he seemed to be walking along the wall mechanistically without stopping the blood flow for some unknown reason.

His pace was slow, and his eyes showed no luster as he aimlessly moved forward along the wall.

From his gaze, Xiao Xian couldn’t be sure if he saw her.

She called out a few times, receiving no response.

This Mafu Stone wall isolated Spiritual Power and sound, but not sight.

The Mafu Stone wall in front of them seemed thin, like a few centimeters of glass, but when Xiao Xian hit it, the wall felt as firm as iron and unyielding.

The cave started to shake violently, startling Xiao Xian, what’s going on?

"What’s going on, Ye Heng..." In the central cave, the first to notice something was wrong was Aisha.

Everyone turned to that Mafu Stone Pillar, which unbeknownst to anyone, had been covered in blood-like cracks.

Ye Heng, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly opened his eyes wide, now blood-red, and spoke with a voice that seemed to come both from his gut and the Mafu Stone behind him: "Ignorant people, you have desecrated the Divine Pillar with blood; desecrators of the Divine Pillar shall pay with death."
