He knew that from the moment he stepped into this place, he had been completely severed from the familiar world behind him.
There is no sun, moon, or stars here, no spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
Here lies only eternal void, endless crystals, and deadly distortion.
He officially stepped into this twisted land, which was completely different from all known laws.
An unprecedented exploration, belonging solely to him, began.
Chapter 73 The Spatial Maze, the True Value of the Little Gray Monster!
This realm, known as the Stardust Caves, is more like a bizarre and fantastical dream, an abstract painting stripped of all logic from reality.
Every step you take into it is a relentless crushing of your will.
There are no ups and downs, no left or right, no east, west, south, or north. As far as the eye can see, there are magnificent and twisted clusters of crystals, growing wildly at an angle that defies the laws of physics, refracting an eerie light from an unknown source that never goes out.
A faint, sweet scent filled the air, like the embers left after countless stars had burned out.
Lin Che stopped in his tracks, his breathing slightly rapid.
He raised his wrist, his gaze falling on the military-grade energy detector that he had purchased at great expense before setting off.
A piercing electrical hum suddenly erupted without warning.
All the complex readings and environmental analysis models on the screen were instantly shattered by the violent energy flow, ultimately fading into a deathly darkness. The remaining physical pointer, after a violent, almost convulsive spasm, began to spin wildly and erratically, sometimes pointing to its own heart, sometimes to the nothingness beneath its feet.
It became nothing more than a piece of scrap metal.
Having lost his last technological support, a sense of loss from the depths of his soul finally seized his mind uncontrollably.
He was completely lost.
Even more deadly is that this seemingly tranquil and beautiful world harbors an undisguised murderous intent in every inch of its space.
The ecosystem here has long been completely transformed by distorted spatial energy. The native elves who inhabit this place have abandoned all their gentle pretense, imprinting the most primal and pure aggression deep into their genes.
"Om-"
A deep, resonant hum, striking directly at the spiritual level, emanated from a crystal node not far away.
Lin Che's pupils suddenly contracted, his body tensed instantly, and he instinctively hid behind a huge crystal prism.
His gaze pierced through the distorted light and shadow refracted by the crystal, locking onto what lay ahead.
It was a silent military formation composed of dozens of psychic clay figures.
These sprites, resembling ancient spinning tops, possess a weathered, rock-like texture, their single eyes gleaming with an emotionless crimson light. They float in mid-air in a mystical formation, collectively guarding a pass composed of countless tiny crystal fragments.
Their auras merged into one, forming an invisible, suffocating wall of spiritual energy.
Elite level.
And it was an entire group.
A fine layer of cold sweat seeped down Lin Che's back. He had no doubt that these silent sentinels possessed enough mental power to tear the armor of a main battle tank to shreds in a fraction of a second.
However, the real threat does not come from the front.
A very slight spatial fluctuation flashed through his senses.
Lin Che suddenly raised his gaze and swept it over the seemingly empty, wrinkled space above his head.
A strangely shaped elf silently peeked out from the crevice of that space, half of its body protruding. Its torso resembled an ancient totem, its wings were structured in a way that defied aerodynamics, and its green eyes were filled with a cold and eerie wisdom.
Symbol of birds.
An assassin in the folds of space.
It seemed oblivious to Lin Che's hiding place, merely using its inhuman eyes to indifferently survey everything below. A moment later, it silently retreated into the spatial crevices, vanishing without a trace.
Lin Che's heartbeat only gradually calmed down at this moment.
He glanced at the pass guarded by the psychic clay figures.
That seemed to be the only way to reach deeper.
Break in?
The thought only existed in his mind for a second before he completely extinguished it.
He knew very well that in the extremely unstable environment of Stardust Cave, any large-scale energy conflict was tantamount to lighting a match next to a powder keg. Once an uncontrollable spatial chain reaction was triggered, not to mention him, even a Champion-level trainer would likely only end up being torn apart by the spatial turbulence.
can not fight.
We can't beat them either.
Lin Che took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. His brain was working at an unprecedented speed, analyzing the deadly situation before him.
His gaze finally settled on the small creature beside him, which hovered quietly, its body a metallic silver color and emitting a faint glow.
Shiny Little Gray Monster, Zhixing.
The team's "brain" is also his only hope for breaking the deadlock at this moment.
"Ji-sung, it's all up to you."
Lin Che's voice was very low. He reached out and gently stroked the cold, smooth metal shell of the Zhixing with his fingertips.
"Can you feel it?"
"Is there a safer alternative route around here?"
His voice carried a hint of desperate hope that he himself was unaware of.
Zhixing, suspended in mid-air, slowly closed his pure golden eyes.
next second.
An invisible, more subtle and profound fluctuation, transcending conventional spiritual power, suddenly spread out from its body!
This fluctuation wasn't energy; it was more like an extension of "consciousness." It ignored the distorted light, the raging energy field, and the layers of spatial folds, like a radar with supreme authority, instantly scanning every inch of space within several kilometers!
Spatial perception!
This is not a skill learned later in life, but a unique racial talent engraved in its very essence! It is the most fundamental proof that it is a visitor from the universe!
Time, at this moment, seems to be infinitely stretched.
Lin Che held his breath, his heart pounding heavily like a drum.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
A moment later, Zhixing's tightly closed golden eyes suddenly opened!
A dazzling golden light flashed and disappeared in its eyes.
"Hey!"
It didn't turn around, but instead let out a clear and urgent murmur towards a patch of empty space about ten meters to Lin Che's left.
That area looked no different from any other space around it. It was empty, with only chaotic light and shadow flowing silently.
Lin Che's eyes narrowed the moment he heard the soft murmur.
He got it.
Without any hesitation, he immediately gave instructions to his companions behind him.
“．‖ Hakron!”
A graceful figure emerged from behind him, its slender dragon body radiating a sacred glow under the illumination of the seven-colored light.
“Use the weakest Dragon Pulse on that spot.”
A hint of confusion flashed in Hakuryu's azure eyes, but out of absolute trust in its trainer, it opened its mouth.
A faint, almost invisible, dragon-type energy, seemingly about to be extinguished at any moment, was precisely emitted by it towards the void indicated by Zhixing.
The next moment, something so amazing that it defied common sense happened!
The empty space suddenly distorted the moment it came into contact with the dragon energy!
As the light folded, the space itself rippled with layers of waves, silently spreading outwards from the point of energy contact.
A long, narrow, bottomless black rift suddenly opened up in the center of the concentric circles of spatial ripples!
It's like a hidden door perfectly concealed beneath a curtain, leading to an unknown, deeper dimension.
A secret passage leading to the other side of the pass, perfectly hidden by the folds of space, suddenly appeared before Lin Che's eyes!
They successfully bypassed that terrifying army of psychic clay golems!
The huge weight that had been pressing on my heart finally lifted at that moment.
An indescribable surge of joy, mixed with the relief of surviving a disaster, instantly swept over Lin Che. His tense shoulders relaxed, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up in a smile.
He turned his head and stared intently at Zhixing beside him.
Only at this moment did he truly and deeply realize the unparalleled and crucial strategic value of his mysterious partner from the universe in this desperate situation where human technology and conventional forces had failed!
It is not a weapon, nor is it a thug.
It's the map, the key, the only guide to this labyrinth of death!
Chapter 74 Surfing the Galaxy: The Composedness of a Seasoned Trainer!
Under the influence of Zhixing's spatial perception field, which was like a "full-map cheat," the distorted and folded spatial structure around him was clearly deconstructed into a real-time changing three-dimensional map in Lin Che's mind.
With this guidance that far exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people, he narrowly avoided several spatial traps that could instantly tear apart even elite-level Pokémon, and successfully reached the deeper part of Stardust Cavern.
He had just dealt with a small group of unsuspecting Symbolic Birds that attempted to launch a sneak attack from the crevices of spatial folds. Before the residual fluctuations of his mental energy had fully subsided, a magnificent and breathtaking scene unexpectedly came into view.
A river.
A vast galaxy, over a hundred meters wide, formed by countless tiny, flickering, seven-colored points of light.
It flowed silently and slowly, stretching between two vast, seemingly endless crystal cluster continents, exuding a mysterious yet dangerous ancient aura. Those points of light were not physical entities, but highly condensed, pure spatial energy particles; each flash was accompanied by a spatial creation and destruction condensed to the extreme.
This seems to be the only path to the next area.
