Chapter 89: Ancient Tomb's Strange Fire

  At the sound of a clear and crisp noise, the cicada wing blade broke off, which was within Li Ling's expectations.

  The mandala body fell rapidly downwards, one knee slightly bent to reduce the speed of the fall, and stood steadily on the ground.

  "Sorry, Gunji. I failed." Mandoro threw away the half-remaining cicada-wing blade in his hand and said calmly with his head down.

  "It doesn't matter, at least we know that this is the end of the 'ancient tomb', not the exit." Li Ling looked at Mandala and smiled slightly.

  "What should we do now?" Mandala still had one cicada-winged blade in her hand, which was the only weapon she could use to defend herself.

  "Let's go back the same way and hope we can find a way out." said Li Lingdao.

  Her calm eyes sank, she looked at her father who was so wolf-like, slowly got up, and said calmly: "Li Ling big brother, I can take everyone to a place, but it's not the exit, there is a voice calling me, I have a feeling, that's the only hope."

  "Is it a nightmare that still lingers in your mind?" Li Ling asked.

  "Perhaps, that's a cave with countless eyes." Even thinking about the nightmare makes me shudder all over.

  "Well, maybe there's a way to unravel the mystery of the quiet nightmare!" Li Ling smiled slightly.

  After saying that, Anjing led the three of them back into the cave-like hole.

  In the stillness, relying on pure feeling, after groping and searching for a moment in the darkness, an unvisited strange land appeared before everyone's eyes.

  This is a vast and mysterious place. It's called mysterious because this place has countless small earth mounds, just like individual graves.

  When Li Ling and his three companions first arrived at this place, they were also startled by the small mounds of earth. Everyone suspected that someone had buried a large number of people here.

  But immediately felt wrong, because these are not soil heaps, but conical containers made of some kind of advanced metal.

  "These are like piles of dirt, what's their use?" Li Ling walked into a metal container. After thinking for a moment, he carefully touched the containers with his fingers. His fingers instantly froze, and an indescribable chill pierced through to his bones. If not for Li Ling having true energy protecting his body, he would have probably been frozen into an ice sculpture by now.

  "After Li Ling hastily retreated, he blocked the three people and said: 'Don't touch these containers, the surface temperature is extremely low, at least minus two hundred degrees. I suspect that the temperature of these containers has reached absolute zero.'"

  It was a quiet surprise, if I'm not mistaken, the temperature of absolute zero is minus 273 degrees.

  What kind of thing needs to be kept at such a low temperature?

  Just as the three of them, along with An Xiangyu, reached the center of these containers, a strange thing happened.

  Among those containers, after a sudden crackling sound, purple flames miraculously burst out.

  An Xiangyu was even more frightened and pulled Li Ling's sleeve, hiding behind him.

  Li Ling was startled by the sudden appearance of purple flames, but Anjing seemed to have seen it many times in her dreams and was relatively calm. As for Mandala, she didn't have a nervous system that could feel fear, so she didn't know what fear was.

  Those purple flames jumping from the container, burning fiercely, just like an ancient sacrifice, performing a solemn sacrificial ritual. There are almost thousands of containers here, thousands of jumping purple flames.

  But with so many purple flames burning at the same time, the cave gradually brightened up, and the temperature inside the cave did not change in any way.

  The walls of this cave are surrounded by a vast, indescribable space. On the top of the cave, there are countless strange pipes and mechanical devices that cannot be described in human language.

  What shocked Li Ling the most was that these purple flames were living organisms, a highly intelligent being, and a being whose intelligence far surpassed that of humans.

  She quietly watched the flames, and many illusions appeared in her mind, constantly telling herself to calm down, to calm down. Finally, she slowly stood up, facing the purple flames around her, praying silently.

  Those purple flames seemed to be able to feel the quiet prayer-like feeling, jumping in an extremely mysterious rhythm.

  Slowly opening his eyes, which were filled with an unusual glow, he said: "I... I seem to be able to communicate with these flames."

  Li Ling looked at An Jing with an unbelievable expression.

  "Yes, I can communicate with these flames, I can hear the voices of these flames, and I can even know their thoughts." Anjing said more and more mysteriously.

  How can a person communicate with flames? How can a person know what flames are thinking!

  "What did these flames say?" Li Ling could only utter this sentence in surprise.

  "Wait... wait until I calm down, I can definitely do it." The quietly tense hands didn't know where to put themselves.

  But soon, An Jing said: "They say they come from another world, their spaceship broke down and had to land on this planet, but since it has not been repaired for a long time, so one stop on this planet is 100,000 years. So far, all the mechanics of the spaceship have entered a state of complete repair. If there are no problems, they can solve their arch-enemy, three days later will take off."

  Li Ling couldn't help but feel incredulous, looking at An Jing's constantly flickering eyes and then at the jumping purple flames, he simply didn't dare to believe that this was real.

  Although Li Ling believed in the existence of aliens, ... these aliens were actually flames that jumped around, which made it impossible for Li Ling to accept from the bottom of his heart.

  "What arch-nemesis, what spaceship? What else did they say?" Li Ling felt that there must be more than this.

  An Jing became increasingly tense, even squatting down and covering her ears, not wanting to listen to what was being said behind the purple flames.

  "It won't work, it's impossible." The quiet and persistent response.

  Li Ling and Mandala exchanged a glance, and An Xiangyu also seemed to be slowly regaining his composure after the initial shock.

  "Quiet, quiet." Li Ling called out for Quiet. But Quiet kept her head down, continuously speaking in languages that did not exist on Earth.

  "They also said that ten thousand years ago, there was a group of earthlings who treated this place as an altar for worship. The outer space of the spaceship was built into an ancient city, which was a city for worship. Underneath the ancient city were tombs, where the so-called gods in human mouths were buried. That's why there are huge biological skeletons and an arm that has not rotted for ten thousand years in the crystal coffin. Anjing held his head quietly, and his originally black hair began to turn white. Anjing closed his eyes with a panicked tone, as if he was communicating with these flames himself, which required a lot of brain power."

  "Quiet, your hair..." Li Ling tightly hugged Quiet and said: "Don't listen. Stop quickly."

  But the stillness was unbroken by a tremble, as if it had heard something extremely terrifying.

  Li Ling stood up and roared at the flames around him, "Can you understand what I'm saying? If you can hear me, stop talking, I've had enough of your silence."

  Perhaps it was Li Ling's words that had an effect, and the purple flames around him suddenly went out. The surroundings returned to a dark environment once again.

  "Don't extinguish it, tell me... the method to eradicate it... no!" An quiet suddenly opened his eyes wide and let out a loud roar, as if he had realized something extremely terrifying existed.
