Hearing this sentence, Lin Chun also smiled. He understood what I meant.
No matter what, we must find a way to gain more powerful strength now, regardless of whether this strength was prepared for us before. But one thing is certain, and that is that we must improve our strength now.
Because I knew very well that time was running out for me, and pressures from all sides were on me. If I couldn't turn the tide in the end, I'm afraid very bad consequences would occur.
And that was a scene I didn't want to see.
I glanced at the lava in front of me, exhaled slowly, and since there was no choice, walking forward was the only way!
"Go!" I gritted my teeth and stepped forward.
Lin Chun followed.
The moment I stepped into the lava, I expected to feel intense pain.
Unexpectedly, the moment we stepped in, the surrounding scene instantly changed.
And the area seemed to have changed. What we saw before seemed to have never existed.
Lin Chun and I rubbed our eyes, confirming we weren't mistaken.
The surrounding lava disappeared. This was just a room.
This room was about the same size as the one where the octopus monster was located, but there was nothing inside.
An empty room.
"Could it be that the monster inside is gone?" I asked, frowning.
To be honest, I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing. I didn't know why your monster had disappeared, nor whether it was because it had been in this place for too long.
At the same time, I had some doubts. I didn't know if what we wanted would still be there when we reached our destination.
After all, so many years had passed, what could remain in this place?
Thinking of this, I stepped forward, as the passage ahead was directly in front of us.
But the moment my foot stepped in, I immediately felt something was wrong.
The ground sank slightly.
Although the sinking was not very significant, with my current perception, I could feel it clearly.
"Retreat!" I shouted without hesitation.
Lin Chun paused and instinctively prepared to retreat. At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed on the ground.
Immediately after, the light began to flow, and at the same time, colorful images began to appear throughout the entire room.
However, these images were fragmented.
Lin Chun was also enveloped, only able to watch the changes around him helplessly.
Although I didn't know what had happened, one thing was certain: the things in this place had not disappeared yet.
I was just unsure now if this was a trap or something else...
We moved closer to each other, drew our weapons, and maintained a tense state, watching the images around us.
These images flickered wildly, and I could also see some things clearly.
It seemed to be a ferocious battlefield, with corpses strewn everywhere, blood staining the mountains, and fragmented scenes all around.
There were deep ravines on the ground, as well as ruins left behind after battles.
Countless pits, and the carcasses of some animals...
It seemed to be a place where flowers bloomed, with various kinds of flowers all around. Various unknown animals could be seen playing happily.
Sunlight shone down from the sky, encompassing everything around. Even looking at it, one could tell it was a very warm day.
A stream flowed gently from the side, making faint sounds...
It seemed to be an ordinary household, with wisps of cooking smoke curling up, and bright candlelight inside the room.
On some old, small square tables, hot meals were laid out. A woman walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face.
A man pushed open the door, holding an axe in his hand.
A child sat at the small square table, his eyes fixed on the food on the table, his gaze full of joy...
It seemed to be a lonely grave, barren all around, overgrown with weeds. Yellowed leaves drifted down from the sky. Everything around looked so desolate and lonely.
That lonely grave looked particularly desolate, with a wooden tombstone that had no inscription on it at all.
In front of the lonely grave was a broken bowl, and there seemed to be traces of burning before the grave...
Scene after scene appeared before us. Seeing these scenes, the two of us gradually relaxed our guard.
As the images became more and more numerous, our emotions were stirred up.
We could even feel the gentle sunlight, the fragrant food, and the boundless pain and desolation...
Without realizing it, tears flowed from the corners of my eyes, and all sorts of emotions surged madly in my chest.
I seemed to be able to understand what the people who had experienced these things were feeling at that time...
