Before leaving the ancient maze city, Law didn't say hello to Giles. During this time, he didn't pay attention to the situation of Giles and his seriously injured companion.
The reason why he helped them was because they were all explorers of the Darkness Continent. It wasn't because he was kind-hearted or enthusiastic.
Therefore, Law wasn't enthusiastic enough to pay attention to the follow-up situation of Giles.
Moreover, the danger level in the ancient maze city was the lowest in history. To put it bluntly, this place has become a treasure land that can be reclaimed for a long time.
For Giles and Jim Carrey, these two wounded soldiers, it's estimated that this is the most important opportunity to be missed.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no risks.
At present, there are many wandering gold and silver ingots in the ruins, as well as embryos that have regained their vitality and freedom because of the restoration of electricity.
In addition, there is a potential risk, that is, the gatekeepers hiding in the dark, who knows when they will attack again.
But compared to before, the danger is very low.
Rowe and the others left, while Giles and Jim Carrey remained in the labyrinth of the ancient city.
The two of them didn't know that Law and his party had left here. Even if they knew, it wouldn't affect their next plan.
Jim Carrey, who was lucky to survive, didn't have any mood of joy. He had long been prepared for death.
Since he didn't die yet, he will continue to complete the task assigned by the Ferry Bureau.
After the injury is relatively stable, Jim Carrey's suggestion is to collect useful things that don't affect mobility, and then leave here as soon as possible.
Can't be greedy, or you will miss a rare opportunity.
Jim Carrey knew this better than Giles.
Compared with Jim Carrey's calmness and decisiveness, Giles is difficult to let go.
He has returned here many times, and now is the best opportunity.
During this time, he has been looking for the complete vanilla, but unfortunately, he has never found it. Instead, he found two kinds of seeds.
Although he is very unwilling, what can he do?
About a week after Rowe and the others left the ancient labyrinth, Giles and Jim Carrey also left the ruins where countless ferrymen had been buried.
When they looked back, their faces were complicated.
Jim Carrey whispered: "Are they still in the ruins?"
"I don't know." Giles turned back and focused on the road ahead. He said in an inexplicable tone, "No matter what, I wish them good luck."
"Well, good luck to them. As for us, we have to think about how to safely return to the imaginary continent."
"We can only … try our luck," Giles said solemnly.
Jin Kairui fell silent upon hearing this. If the position of the gatekeepers had changed fundamentally, then the guide might not necessarily send them safely to the imaginary continent.
But now, they had no choice but to do as Giles said and return to the landing site to try their luck.
If the guide refused to escort them, then they could only continue to stay on the Darkness Continent.
.....
Law and his party returned to the coastline easily and then hurried on their way.
As long as they kept walking along the coastline, they'd be able to reach the Crimson Cliff Land where they'd first landed on the Darkness Continent. They'd then head to the underground world through the entrance there.
For Law and the others, the danger factor of the Dark Continent coastline is basically negligible.
On the way, the atmosphere was not as tense as before. Everyone was more relaxed.
As they walked along the coastline, they could occasionally see huge creatures breaking through the surface of the sea in the distance.
The waves were like broken glass. Under the sunlight, they formed a rainbow bridge.
Every time they heard the movements of huge sea beasts and looked in the direction of the sound, they would always think of the old turtle who was nowhere to be found, as well as the endless sea beasts under the deep sea.
The Darkness Continent was very big. No one could estimate the time it would take to travel from the east to the west.
But as long as they walked along the coastline, it was like walking on a highway with no speed limit. They could maximize the horsepower.
It was only a matter of time before they went to the Darkness Continent in the west, to the Crimson Cliff Land, and to the underground world.
.....
The Great Wall at the border of the imaginary continent.
On the flat land, in the center, a huge tree stood quietly.
There was a treehouse built in the middle of the big tree. It was the residence of the gatekeeper, Qing Ying.
The house was shabby and simple. Qing Ying sat on a wooden chair, and there was a mirror on the table in front of him.
The red shadow's face was reflected in the mirror, and a voice came from it, "I want you to withdraw the order. If you understand, do as I say."
The red shadow's tone was very bad. There was obvious displeasure on his face.
Compared to the red shadow who was flustered and exasperated, Qing Ying was calm. He said indifferently, "I won't withdraw the order."
Hearing Qing Ying's stubborn reply, the red shadow's expression became very ugly. He suppressed his anger and growled, "Qing Ying, I'm ordering you as the chief, not as your brother!"
"So what? Even if you have the key to the stone book, you can't interfere with everything here, including the responsibility I have." Qing Ying's expression didn't change, and his tone was still as calm as water.
"You bastard …!"
In the mirror, the red shadow's face was full of anger.
On the other hand, he could also see the calm face of Qing Ying on the other side of the mirror.
"Is there anything else? Chief, "Qing Ying said calmly.
"…"
The red shadow didn't say anything else. He angrily withdrew his ability, and the communication was cut off.
He wanted Qing Ying to withdraw the order on the guide so that the humans on the Darkness Continent wouldn't have a way out.
He thought it was a simple matter, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.
In the treehouse, Qing Ying lowered his eyes and suddenly sighed deeply.
"I'm not a chess piece that you buried. Now, you should understand."
"The reform can bring about changes, but the current situation it changes might bring about a disaster."
"Have you ever thought about it?"
Qing Ying got up and walked to the door of the treehouse.
Just like before, he sat at the edge of the platform and quietly watched the sun rise and set.
Decades, centuries, or even millennia.
As long as [Morbius] in his body continued to exist, days like this would continue forever.
However, Qing Ying had a premonition that this long life might come to an end in the near future.
And the disaster would be brought about by the reform in the clan.
"The initiative … has always been in 'their' hands. It's impossible … to snatch it away."
.....
In a vast plain, the grass was as sharp as blades.
With just a light touch, one's body would be split into two.
Dong strolled on the grass, holding a small piece of amber-like translucent crystal in his hand.
As he walked on the grass, he lowered his head to look at the crystal in his hand.
Through the clear crystal, he could see a small section of a human's severed finger.
"Gu, you should know very well that the gatekeeper clan should know their place. When you're feeling proud of your identity, you don't know that the clan that's persistently collecting relics can destroy everything that you're so proud of with just a flick of a finger."
Dong lowered his head and muttered to himself. Behind him was the Darkness Continent.
"I should have chatted with you a little longer."
