One of the crew members saw this happen. He saw a weird thing pass not too far away. Then, there was a three-meter-wide tunnel on the ship. It was empty. No matter if it was the walls or the things on the ship, they were all gone. Of course, that was the last thing he saw. Then, countless bugs passed by. A few seconds later, the ship that was a few hundred meters long disappeared. There was not even a speck of it left. It was like it had never been there in the first place.
Guo Shier had been observing the spaceship the whole time. Not more than ten seconds after it passed them, the spaceship disappeared completely. He could not help but curse, "This bug is sick!"
Li Ran said, "Let's go. Ignore the ship. We have to leave the ruins. It is a shame. This place was the best place to leave the projected space. I am sure there is a tunnel to the big world. Even if it is gone now, we just have to find that point and use Break World to force our way through."
Guo Shier was a bit sad because he could not find Dead Wood. He knew if he missed this chance, he might never see it again. After thinking about it, he pulled out his last message spell. It was the message spell Dead Wood had left behind. He had used everything else. He attached his own message to the message talisman and left behind information about the void worms. If Deadwood received this message talisman, he was to immediately leave this place. He also left an address for Dead Wood. It was the city of the machine. He set a time to meet.
Qi Wuzhen was confused. "You want to send a message spell?"
Guo Shier said, "I have one more message spell. If I do not use it … I might not be able to use it again. I will try my luck."
Qi Wuzhen nodded and said, "That is good. I hope your teacher is not in the direction of the bug wave. Otherwise, your message spell will not be able to get through."
The bug wave could destroy all matter. Even the message spell was no exception. If it encountered a bug wave, the message spell would disappear. Guo Shi 'er said, "If it's in the direction of the insect swarm … then it means one thing, and I won't think about it anymore …" What he meant was that wherever the insect swarm went, it would annihilate everything, not even the withered tree could escape. After that, he put out a message spell. A red light flashed.
Li Ran laughed. "Our luck is good!"
The message spell flew forward. Because the message spell was fast, it was faster than they could fly. They could not follow it. Guo Shier said, "Let's leave it to fate. I hope Dead Wood's luck is good." That was all he could do.
Li Ran said, "I hope there are no more obstacles ahead."
Everyone knew in their hearts that this obstacle did not refer specifically to the void worms, but also to humans. One had to know that there were various races in the Starry Projection, and among them, there was no lack of sinister ones. They often liked to ambush others. Normally, this kind of situation would be fine, but now that they were hurrying along, if they encountered an ambush, even though it would be difficult to injure them, it would delay them and allow the void worms behind them to catch up. That would be very annoying.
Guo Shi 'er volunteered, "I'll be in charge of scouting!"
"I will be in charge of scouting," Li Ran said.
Scouting alone was too much of a burden on the soul. It did not matter if it was a short time, but if it was a long time, people would get tired easily. Guo Shier did not decline. "Okay, wait for my notice. I will change …" He immediately released his soul fluctuations. This time, it was not omnidirectional. Instead, it was aimed in front of them. Circles of invisible fluctuations were released. He had scouted a distance of over a thousand kilometers. This distance was not far, but it was not close either. It was enough for them to react in time and make preparations.
Serxlyn said, "The bugs behind us … seem to have sped up."
Li Ran looked back and said, "Damn it, they really sped up." Unknowingly, the void bugs had gotten a little closer to them.
Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "It's really sullen. I have been chased many times in my life, but this is the first time I have been chased by bugs." In fact, when he was young, he had also been chased by bugs. At that time, he was too weak, but it was different now. His strength had reached the peak of the Talisman Race, but he was still chased by bugs. There were always some things in this world that could not be provoked.
Previously, in the small world, they had seen an incomparably huge monster. Standing on its body, it was as if they were standing on a continent. If that thing had a problem with them, they would not have been able to resist it at all. Just the parasites on that thing were unimaginably powerful, causing them to retreat and not have the slightest thought of fighting it.
After continuously flying at such a high intensity, Guo Shier was the first to be unable to hold on. He said, "Carry me and let me rest!" After all, he was still carrying someone. He no longer carried Serxlyn. Instead, he used the purple chain to secure her behind his back so that she would not hinder him from using the charm.
The three of them were originally a triangular team. This time, the spearhead was Qi Wuzhen. Li Ran said, "Shier, come closer!"
Guo Shier immediately leaned against Li Ran. More than a dozen purple chains emerged from Li Ran's body and turned into a net, directly wrapping Guo Shier and Serxlyn up. He said, "Don't move. I'll investigate. I'll give you five minutes to rest."
Guo Shier nodded, took out a few soul beads, and stuffed them into his mouth. Then, he began to silently chant, trying his best to recover his exhausted soul.
The soul fluctuations rippled slightly, immediately affecting Qi Wuzhen and Li Ran. The two of them knew that this was the fluctuation of the soul scripture, so they moved a little closer to Guo Shier. This kind of fluctuation was also beneficial to the two of them. It could sort out the intensely active soul and calm the violent body.
The fluctuation of the soul scripture would not spread very far, about seven or eight meters. Li Ran and Qi Wuzhen were already used to it, but there was one person here who was not a professional of the Talisman Race. The moment the soul fluctuations came, Serxlyn could not help but be stunned. She had never felt such a strong feeling before. Her whole heart seemed to be shaken. She did not understand what was going on, but her whole body and mind relaxed.
The feeling of floating almost made her moan. One had to know that she was not a soul expert, and she was very unfamiliar with the soul. Her race did not even have the concept of the soul, but she could clearly feel a kind of tranquility, an intoxicating joy. She hugged Guo Shier's waist tightly, as if she was hugging something reassuring. Unknowingly, she sank into it, unable to extricate herself.
Serxlyn could never have imagined that after this soul baptism, although she still did not have the ability to reincarnate, it would greatly expand her future development. Everyone had their peak period, and then there was the bottleneck period. Not everyone could break through the bottleneck period, because it involved one's own quality. If one's quality was not enough, it would be extremely difficult to break through the bottleneck.
After the baptism of the soul scripture, Serxlyn's quality had rapidly improved. What she had improved was her soul power, which was much stronger than her physical strength. The body was tangible, and the soul was intangible. Only when the two were combined could a powerful human be formed. Guo Shier's soul scripture was equivalent to making up for one of her shortcomings, giving her a chance to enter the ranks of the top experts of the Blade Race.
In just five minutes, Serxlyn felt as if a very long time had passed, but also as if it had only been an instant. When the soul fluctuations ended, she lost that intoxicating feeling, and her heart immediately felt extremely uncomfortable. She hugged Guo Shier's waist tightly and could not help but moan.
Guo Shier asked in confusion, "Serxlyn, what's wrong?"
Serxlyn's face immediately turned red. She realized that she had lost her composure and muttered, "No … Nothing, it's just that it was so strange just now … There was a strange feeling, I … I really like it …"
Li Ran and Qi Wuzhen could not help but laugh. Of course they understood Serxlyn's feelings. The first time they had felt the soul scripture fluctuations, they had also received a strong impact. Back then, when Qi Wuzhen's consciousness was blurry, he had even crawled into Guo Shier's arms.
Qi Wuzhen said, "It's alright, you'll get used to it very soon. This is Shier cultivating."
A hint of astonishment flashed in Serxlyn's eyes. She said, "Cultivating … can actually give people this kind of feeling. I feel like I've become a whole new person. Shier, Shier … You, can you continue cultivating?" This feeling was really too good. She was extremely reluctant to part with it and only wanted to continue immersing herself in it.
Guo Shier said, "Haha, you can experience it when everyone here is resting. Brother, take a break. Let me do it!"
Li Ran said very straightforwardly, "Alright, I'll rest." The two of them then switched places.
Five minutes later, Li Ran switched places with Qi Wuzhen. As expected, Serxlyn once again experienced that wonderful feeling from before.
After repeating this for two hours, Serxlyn's soul was thoroughly baptized, which was very important to her. Although she could not reincarnate yet, the people of this world, especially those with powerful martial strength, once their souls became strong, even if it was just a little bit, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds. Until now, Serxlyn still did not understand the reason behind this, but she enjoyed the peace of mind brought by the soul fluctuations. It was an extremely wonderful feeling.
Li Ran and the others also took this opportunity to completely recover. That was why the professionals of the Rune Race were very difficult to deal with. As long as there was a slight opportunity, they would appear to have more endurance than the experts of other races, even if they did not know that there was a heaven-defying method like the soul scripture.
The three of them, who had recovered, exerted their strength again and rushed forward. Guo Shier was still sending out soul fluctuations. This was not only to detect if there was an ambush ahead, but more importantly, to detect if there was a spatial crack ahead. That thing was no less threatening than the void worms. If they ran into it unguarded, they would probably not be able to escape the fate of being cut and annihilated. No one doubted this.
The worm swarm behind them kept changing shape. It looked like a monster baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, flying along the skyline.
The situation Guo Shier did not want to see the most had finally appeared. He roared, "Change direction … There are spatial cracks ahead. I can't detect how many there are. Think of a way to avoid them!"
