Nine Star Burden - Chapter 229
Chapter 229: Strange Female Voice
Jiang Xiao’s team still walked in in the end. He thought that after entering this unknown Dimensional Space, he would encounter a huge mess. However, to his surprise, it was completely silent.
Is this… an ancient tomb!?!
A dungeon!?!
Or is it an ancient tower!?
Jiang Xiao was a little dumbfounded. If he were considered to be in nature’s embrace in the Dimensional Spaces that he had visited previously, the one that he was in now gave him a true eye-opener.
Is this a building built by monsters that have a certain IQ?
It was pitch dark and they could only rely on the light from the portal to find their way.
The few police officers in front lit up Burning Flame that increased the scope of their vision and allowed them to see the surrounding environment clearly.
The stone pillars had weird stripes on them and the ground was paved with stone tiles. Everyone was obviously standing in a corridor, and they could see other figures that were also standing in the corridor when they tried to take a good look.
“Ah!” A loud shriek came from above their heads, after which a massive object crashed down.
Everyone panicked and they thought, Is there someone!?!
The shriek was clearly from a woman who was right above their heads!
How could that be!?!
How can there be someone here!?!
The voice clearly belonged to a woman and everyone had heard it. Hence, it was not an illusion.
They hurried to the side and the massive object landed on the ground.
Jiang Xiao got a great shock, for he almost got killed by the stone sculpture!
It was a stone sculpture… that looked exactly the same as the stone monster.
However, it wasn’t breathing at all and was just like a beautifully-shaped, exquisite, and lifelike stone sculpture.
Everyone looked over, only to see stone platforms and crisscrossing stone corridors crisscrossing above.
So, is this a dungeon or a stone tower?
When everyone was searching for the girl above, the stone sculpture actually melted!
Yes, the fascinating stone sculpture began to crack under the faint light of the portal, and within just a few seconds, it seemed to have come alive and become a hideous and menacing beast!
Bang!
The frontliner of the Central Street Team No. 3, Yan Zebin, stabbed the ugly stone monster in the skull with his spear, causing the rubble and debris to scatter all over the place.
Obviously, Yan Zebin’s battle IQ was very high. In a short period of time, he managed to find the trick to slaughter the peculiar creature of another dimension.
“Uh~” The dizzy Shen Hao seemed to have just returned from fairyland and his mind was still in a frenzy. Staring at the pitch dark surroundings, their only light source was the Burning Flame used by one of the police officers.
Without hesitation, Shen Hao decided to provide light by raising his arms high in the sky and use the “Flash” technique!
Uh…
Fine, it wasn’t a flash technique, but a dazzling ball of light appeared in his hand and slowly drifted upwards together with his arm.
All of a sudden, the cave was lit up.
Jiang Xiao raised his head and tried to find the girl, only to realize that there was a huge Space Portal high above him!
Wait a minute, Space Portal? Where does this Space Portal lead to?
Why is it so big?
Under the leadership of Second Last back then, Jiang Xiao walked around the snowfield and he knew that the difference between Holy Ground and other sites.
A portal of this scale would probably lead to the “Holy Ground”, right?
Why is it so close? Besides, why didn’t the creatures of other dimensions jump out of the Holy Ground?
Jiang Xiao was focusing on the space above his head while everyone else got a clear glimpse of the surroundings. They all got the chills and goosebumps!
As the ball of light in Shen Hao’s hand rose above, they managed to see everything clearly.
They found that only the spot that they were standing on was empty, and there were countless stone sculptures on the dozens of corridors and empty spaces in the dungeons, which they could not see!
It was precisely because of the “Flash” technique that caused all of the silent stone sculptures to begin cracking!
Ka-cha! Ka-cha! Ka-cha!
The sounds of various stones shattering could be heard.
Wei Zhi was so astonished that he yelled continuously, “Turn off the lights, turn off the lights! Extinguish Light of Day!”
So this Star Technique is called Light of Day?
The name is great, but the effects and consequences for everyone are extremely unbelievable!
Shen Hao quickly extinguished the ball of light while the Star Warrior police officers in front also extinguished the flames in their hands. The dungeon was once again plunged into darkness, and only the sound of cracking stones could be heard.
Shen Hao swallowed his saliva nervously, knowing that he was in trouble. However, he dared not make a single sound.
It seems… only a part of the stone sculpture woke up?
The other stone sculptures that were much farther away from the portal seemed to have fallen asleep again as the dungeon plunged into darkness.
“Those with Night Vision, report about the situation,” Wei Zhi said softly. Currently, their only light source was the portal connected to Earth, but the visibility was dropping.
When people realized that the stone sculptures had awakened because of the light, no one wanted to provide light anymore.
Night Vision, the Brass Quality Star Technique, was the saving grace for them at this moment.
However, people rarely acquired that Star Technique.
One of the police officers exclaimed, “We don’t have any in our team. We’ll go get someone else to come in!”
They had already investigated the situation there and could indeed make targeted changes.
The idea that the Star Warriors Armed Police Force had thought of was exactly the same as that of the Victors League. Since the Dimensional Space was opened on Central Street of Jiangbin City, there was no way they could keep it around for development and research. Destroying it was the only right thing to do.
Amidst the darkness, the of stones falling could be heard from time to time. It was rather hair-raising.
If an ugly stone monster were to appear in front of everyone, they wouldn’t be afraid. What they were afraid of was the unknown.
Retreat? Reorganize?
How many stone sculptures were awakened when Shen Hao ignited the light just now? If they retreated, wouldn’t the stone sculptures continue to pollute the nation?
However… their vision was hindered and those with the Star Technique Perception would still be able to manage.
Just as Wei Zhi was listening carefully to the strange noises in the darkness and was thinking about the strategy he could employ, a golden halo appeared at their feet.
The color was not a striking gold but an ostentatious and luxurious dark gold.
It was very low-key and would not alarm the enemy. However, it was enough for the humans to see where the enemy was!
Within a radius of 40 meters, no creature could escape the halo!
Everyone could see that some of the halos were remaining still while some were moving slightly.
Clearly, the moving dark golden halos were from stone sculptures that had come alive, while the motionless ones should belong to the stone sculptures that had fallen asleep again.
What is creativity!?!
What is a god-level assistive member!?!
Jiang Xiao said, “The sounds that the spearman made just now when killing the stone monsters were very loud. So, these stone sculptures will only come back to life because of the light, not sound.”
Jiang Xiao thought about it and said, “In other words, it was not that we trapped the group of stone monsters at the door, but that the stone monsters woken up because of the light had already dashed out.”
“Wait a while before retreating,” said Ye Ying, the member of the Victors Legion, who had understood what Jiang Xiao meant. “I need to mark it, let’s kill it first.”
Obviously, Ye Ying needed the dark golden halos that loomed in the dark.
Even though most of the stone sculptures had already fallen into a deep sleep, there was still plenty of moving stone sculptures! Besides, they were also continuously surging towards the portal. After all, there was light there.
Jiang Xiao frantically said, “There’s a huge teleportation portal above us. It might lead to the Holy Ground. Destroying it will help us do the trick.”
Shen Hao said feebly, “I… I saw it too.”
Due to the fact that he had gotten into deep trouble, the young man who had just joined the Victors Legion seemed to be a little frightened and guilty.
“No, that’s not the Holy Ground. If it was, a large number of creatures of other dimensions would be surging in. We’d probably have been obliterated long ago.” Wei Zhi refuted as he shook his head.
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, “Maybe the creatures of the upper dimension are also these stone sculptures? They’re not moving because there’s no light. Hence, there are no new creatures swarming in.”
Wei Zhi froze a little. He was knowledgeable and experienced, but sometimes, he was also restricted and hampered by his experience. He would often think about problems in accordance with logic, and he had already formed an idea about what Holy Ground should be like.
However, Jiang Xiao’s words made Wei Zhi nod silently because it seemed to have made a little sense.
At this moment, a phantom suddenly passed by, and Han Jiangxue felt a gust of wind blowing. Jiang Xiao, beside her, had gone missing!
“Xiaopi!?!” Xia Yan reacted quickly and tried to grab him but to no avail.
Jiang Xiao felt a stinging pain in his spine, but he had his back pressed against the portal which led to Earth. The Star Warriors Armed Police Force was right outside the portal. How could there be creatures of other dimensions?
Jiang Xiao’s body rolled countless times on the ground before finally hitting a stone sculpture that stabilized his body. At about the same time, Jiang Xiao heard a woman’s voice coming from the corridor on the second floor. “What’s wrong with you!?”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Where did this female voice come from? Why does it sound so familiar?
Who exactly is on the corridor?
