Chapter 669 Ring
Chapter 669 Ring
The moment the wormhole was detonated, a scalding airflow and a strong sense of squeezing were felt.
The Zerg that had been pouring into the incubation room like a tide and the immobile Zerg Queen were engulfed in the blazing fire before they could even react.
It was devoured in an instant.
Lu Chihuan's time seemed to be frozen at this moment. He was not injured by the explosion of the wormhole, but the wound left on his left arm by the worm mother was inevitably painful.
This made his vision go dark.
He subconsciously grasped his left arm and frowned slightly.
The wound...must be treated quickly...
Although Lu Chihuan thought so in his heart, the major crisis of the disappearance of the Zerg Queen and the Zerg, which threatened the jurisdiction of the Ghost Star Pirates, was finally resolved, and he couldn't help but relax a little.
He was already at the end of his strength, and now that he had calmed down, his whole body softened and his vision became a little blurry.
so tired.
He was really tired.
I really want to take a short break now... He just needs to rest for a short while...
With this thought in mind.
Lu Chihuan's eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Now that they drooped heavily, he had completely lost consciousness.
After he fainted, his perception of the outside world became extremely dull. He seemed to be trapped in a thick eggshell. It was almost dark all around, and he had no idea what was happening outside.
During this period.
It seemed as if someone came up to him and whispered something in his ear.
But he couldn't hear clearly.
Something cool wiped the wound on his left arm. Even though Lu Chihuan was unconscious, he couldn't help but twitch in pain. His lips turned pale and his slender white fingertips scratched weakly, as if trying to find something.
"…pain……"
He murmured quietly.
Her long and thick eyelashes were wet, and she didn't know what she was dreaming about. The expression on her pale face kept changing, and her breathing became rapid.
I don’t know how long it took.
Amidst a severe heart palpitation, Lu Chihuan grabbed the clothes on his chest, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. There were fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose and forehead, and his face was dazed, as if he had not yet awakened.
He seemed to have had a very bad dream just now.
He could no longer remember what he dreamed about, but he only remembered that the world seemed to be collapsing and he fell into despair.
Is it possible——
Did he dream that he failed to save the world?
bah bah bah.
This sounds too unlucky.
Lu Chihuan rubbed his temples tiredly.
He raised his hand and smoothed back the black hair that had fallen on his forehead, revealing his smooth forehead and beautiful, delicate eyebrows, which made him look a bit sickly.
This is the time.
He finally paid attention to observing the surrounding environment, but when he raised his eyes and took a glance, he was stunned and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
There is no other reason.
The place where he was now was neither the inside of a wormhole nor the base of the Ghost Pirates, but outside a silver-white palace that he had never seen before.
The area not far from this silver-white palace was shrouded in darkness.
It seems like once you step in.
Will be completely swallowed up by the darkness.
here……
What exactly is this place?
Lu Chihuan still had no strength left. He climbed up from the cold marble floor with some difficulty, looked around for a while, and then planned to go deeper into the palace.
Take a closer look at what's going on inside.
The outside of the palace was shrouded in pitch darkness. He felt a chill on his back just by taking a look. The radar in his mind beeped, as if reminding him of the danger.
So that's definitely not the exit.
If you want to find a way to leave, you can only go into the palace and see if there is any teleportation device inside.
But he moved.
Only then did he realize that the wound on his left arm caused by the insect bite had been treated with medicine at some point.
Now.
It was wrapped in a white bandage.
There is a small bow tied at the end, and the two ends of the raised white gauze look like rabbit ears.
not only that.
The wound doesn't hurt as much anymore.
Who was it that bandaged my wound? Was there someone else in this palace? Where is that person now?
The thought of this.
Lu Chihuan's eyes brightened a little.
He placed his hands on his lips, and as he walked along the old corridor deeper into the palace, he spoke in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, is there anyone here? If so, could you please answer me..."
No one answered him.
It was so quiet all around that even the chirping of birds could not be heard.
At this time.
He had a clear view of the entire palace.
This silver-white palace looks grand and gorgeous at first glance, but perhaps because of its long history, its outer walls have begun to age and weather, and are covered with lush green ivy and dead vines.
The door inlaid with gold edges has also become rusty, and the carefully carved patterns on it have become blurred.
Once pushed open——
There was a sharp creaking sound.
After Lu Chihuan entered the palace, he looked around cautiously and curiously.
Seeing that there was no one in the palace and there seemed to be no danger, he did not deliberately hide himself. Instead, he clasped the cold light blade with his right hand.
Then he walked slowly inside along the dusty red carpet.
It seemed that a battle had taken place here before.
Therefore, there were traces of light blade cutting and artillery fire on the ground. The sculptures and precious handicrafts originally placed around were also broken into pieces, and there was even blood splattered on the walls.
only……
Now it has turned dark brown.
At the end of the corridor is another golden door, and on the walls on both sides are hung several oil paintings with bold colors and delicate and soft brushstrokes. The paintings seem to be depicting the owners of this palace, who are sitting side by side on soft chairs.
Behind me is the gorgeous spring day outside the window and the flowers that are about to bloom.
The two of them sat in a somewhat intimate manner.
They were standing very close to each other, with a pair of silver rings on their overlapping hands. No one knew what material the rings were made of, but they looked simple and elegant, yet had a radiant brilliance that could not be ignored.
The ring was worn on the ring finger, so the relationship between the two was obvious.
only.
I don’t know if the people who invaded this palace hated the owner of this palace too much.
Therefore, the faces of the two people in the oil painting were scribbled all over with black oil pen, so that Lu Chihuan could not tell what they looked like. Just judging from their body shapes, they should be male alpha or beta.
He pursed his lips.
I don’t know if it’s because I don’t like beautiful things being destroyed right before my eyes.
There is still an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Lu Chihuan tried to wipe off the mess on their faces that was made by the black signing pen, but perhaps because too much time had passed, the color of the signing pen had seeped into them.
and so.
His actions were merely in vain.
"I don't know who is so wicked."
Lu Chihuan reluctantly gave up trying to wipe the stain clean.
He puffed out his cheeks.
He couldn't help but grumble a little, but from this angle looking down, he looked like the slightly thin male alpha or beta in the oil painting, and there seemed to be a faint pink birthmark on his left wrist.
It looks like the cherry blossom petals outside the window.
It's still pretty.
After briefly looking at the oil paintings hanging on the wall, he did not find any clues, so he pushed open the golden door in front of him, trying to find a way to leave here.
after all.
His brother is still waiting for him to return to the Ghost Pirates. If he can't return in time, his brother will probably be very worried.
Think of this.
Lu Chihuan's gaze became more determined.
But what surprised him was that the door was opened very easily.
The main hall behind the door was exceptionally well-preserved, and it seemed that someone cleaned it regularly, so the tapestries with intricate and gorgeous patterns hanging on the walls were almost spotless, and the crystal chandelier above emitted a bright and slightly dazzling light.
Exquisite ornaments made of gems and gold and golden candlesticks sparkle under the light, giving people a glimpse of the gorgeous and luxurious corner of this silver-white palace during its prosperous period.
of course.
What is even more striking is that
In the middle of the main hall are several "boxes" made of special crystal materials.
wrong.
It would be more accurate to describe it as a crystal coffin.
Lu Chihuan never thought that he would see this scene after he came in. He stood there for a moment, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
As a last resort.
He could only secretly say "I'm sorry" in his heart to the person lying in the crystal coffin, and then he mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward.
Trying to find something like a teleportation device in this main hall.
Probably to preserve the body.
So the main hall was a little cold, and some mist was floating on the surface of the crystal coffin, so that he could not see clearly what the corpse lying inside looked like, what age it was, etc.
I looked around for a few times.
Lu Chihuan didn't find anything.
He rubbed his hair a little anxiously, and finally turned his gaze to the crystal coffins. His slightly round almond-shaped eyes blinked a few times with some hesitation.
or.
Look around there.
Maybe we can find other clues.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind. He walked to the first crystal coffin on the left and looked at it carefully.
Apart from its special material, this crystal coffin doesn't seem to have anything special compared to other coffins.
Not only is there no mechanism installed on it, there is not even any unnecessary decoration.
do not know either……
Who is in here?
Lu Chihuan suddenly became curious. He looked down from outside through the crystal coffin lid which was covered with a thin layer of mist.
All that could be seen was the young man's black hair, bony fingers, and the light blue nutrient solution that was injected into it.
Died so young?
it's a pity.
Originally, out of respect for the deceased, he should have just taken a look and left. However, now he didn't know what temptation he was given, and he stretched out his hand and wiped off the thin layer of mist on the crystal coffin lid, wanting to see the young man's face clearly.
As the white mist gradually disappeared.
The young man's face gradually became clearer, and his clear and handsome eyebrows were revealed. There was a sense of calmness and composure between his eyebrows, as if he would not panic no matter what he encountered.
however.
Lu Chihuan felt as if struck by lightning.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, his mind went blank, and the strong palpitations made it almost difficult for him to breathe. Even his throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton.
The person in the crystal coffin looked very familiar to him.
It’s Lu Minghe.
It's his brother.
Just a dozen hours ago they had even fought side by side.
In order to ensure Lu Minghe's safety, he personally injected him with a sleeping drug while the other party was off guard.
Then it was handed over to the elite members of the Ghost Pirates.
Why……
Why... Lu Minghe appears here...
Could it be that something unexpected happened when the elite members of the Ghost Pirates were retreating with his brother, causing his brother to die completely... and be transported to this strange place.
No.
This is absolutely impossible!
Lu Chihuan felt a sharp pain in his brain.
He was unwilling to believe what he saw. He was holding onto the crystal coffin and breathing heavily, looking like someone who was about to drown.
A moment later.
With trembling hands, he began to look for tools, trying to rescue Lu Minghe from the coffin.
Although Lu Minghe in the Crystal Palace looked extremely pale and seemed to have stopped breathing, Lu Chihuan didn't believe it.
He would never believe it unless he heard Lu Minghe's heartbeat stop with his own ears and verified with his own hands that his pulse disappeared.
The more anxious he became.
The more flustered you become.
Surrounded by fear and panic, he was no longer able to think rationally until he saw the remaining crystal coffins nearby. He didn't know what he thought of, but he pounced on them.
Then he brushed away the mist on it.
For a moment——
He fell into a state of emptiness.
The reason cannot be.
The crystal coffin contains Chen Muzhe's body.
Lu Chihuan supported himself on the coffin lid with one hand, then raised his hand and rubbed his eyes heavily several times.
After confirming that everything in front of him was not an illusion caused by his injury, he felt pain, disbelief and incomprehension. At the same time, the despair he felt when he saw Lu Minghe's body with his own eyes was actually alleviated a little.
Like a wandering soul, he walked towards the next coffin, and then the next one.
The crystal coffins from left to right contain his relatives and friends, Zhishu, Zuo Lie, Stuka Lumin...
Arrived in front of the last crystal coffin.
Lu Chihuan's originally dull eyes slowly regained some of their spirit.
He stood where he was, not daring to move forward. His intact right hand twitched and trembled violently for a few times, and he didn't know why he suddenly felt a little timid and nervous.
therefore.
For a moment, he didn't dare to reach out his hand to brush away the mist on the coffin.
