Alex thought for a moment and shook his head. “No. There is just one road.”
Claudia said, “Look ahead. Xerxes’ flying ark is a supreme treasure. It was once a Daoist ancestral temple’s treasure. It is speedy, and it might have gone ahead of us.”
Alex was hearing the official name of the golden bamboo boat for the first time.
As they moved forward in the dark surroundings, only the sound of two people’s footsteps could be heard. It seemed very quiet. After a while, both of them realized that they were off course. According to the mileage calculation, they could have gone from Michigan to California at such ridiculously high speed.
“Something’s wrong!” Claudia took the lead and stopped.
“I don’t feel right either.”
“It‘s like we’re going around in circles. We’ve taken pretty much the same path. Are we lost?”
Alex shook his head. “The so-called phenomenon is just one of the ordinary formations inside, nothing worth mentioning.”
Claudia looked skeptical. “You talk as if you know the formation.”
Alex said, “Didn’t Moony tell you? I am a formation Grandmaster.”
“Ouch!”
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I bit my tongue!”
Alex stared at favonovel.com expression with suspicion on his face, “Aunt Claudia, are you really practicing Serenity?”
Claudia rolled favonovel.com eyes. “It is none of your business. You said you are a formation master, so hurry up and break the formation here for me.”
Alex said helplessly, “If only there were formations here, I would have found it long ago, but the key is that there are no formation boundaries here. It’s very normal.”
Claudia said, “I think it‘s because you don’t know how to break the formation at all.”
Alex looked at favonovel.com and stopped talking. Instead, favonovel.com unfolded his primordial eye and looked around, then lay down on the ground again and listened. After a few moments, favonovel.com felt odder and odder…
“Well? See anything?” Claudia asked.
“It is very strange here… Like… It’s a living thing,” Alex said with an odd face. “So, it’s not that we are lost, but this passage is most likely alive.”
“Living things?”
Claudia froze. She had never thought of such a situation, but now that favonovel.com remembered that the hole they had entered from was bleeding, favonovel.com became a bit suspicious. She flipped favonovel.com right hand and grabbed a long knife. Then, favonovel.com said, “Try it and see.”
Her sword was very long. It was about two meters, a little taller than favonovel.com height. It was sparkling and very sharp. She planted the sword into the ground ruthlessly.
Poof!
No blood spurted out.
However, in the next second, the entire passageway turned upside down and shook ferociously, and the walls of the passage quickly closed.
“Not good, run!”
Alex saw that the situation was not right and quickly picked up Claudia. He teleported forward, but favonovel.com could not move outside because teleportation was also space-limited.
The closing speed of the channel wall was faster than his teleportation.
The next second.
Snap!
The passage closed.
Alex felt a huge force closing in, sandwiching the two people inside. It was tightly closed, and they were unable to move.
Claudia screamed. She felt like favonovel.com bones were going to be crushed, and now favonovel.com and Alex were in a bit of an odd position, like a crossed ‘X’. Their surroundings were closed all around.
”Oh, Alex, you quickly move a little. I feel uncomfortable!”
Could this be not comfortable?
It was embarrassing too. Even if one were to cultivate serenity, it wasn’t useful!
