By the time Tu Ju stood on solid ground, she had lost track of how much time had passed.
Looking up at the sky, the stars were still twinkling. The snowstorm had not stopped, indicating that not much time had passed. However, Tu Ju felt like she had been climbing for a very, very long time.
This illusion of time slowing down, was it because of the silence, or was it because of some other reason?
Tu Ju wanted to know the answer.
Along the way down, Lulunaka would always talk to her, but now that she thought about it, it could not be used as a reference.
The conversation between Lulunaka and her could not be used as a nail in time … It was as if it had slipped away.
"If you stay here in a daze, you might freeze up."
Lulunaka came down one step faster than Tu Ju. She even reminded Tu Ju who was deep in thought, "You won't be so weak that you'll freeze to death in a place like this, right?"
Of course, Tu Ju would not freeze to death because of this little bit of cold air. The snowstorm here only made her feel cold, nothing else. At most, it made her mind clearer …
When Tu Ju came to her senses, she noticed the changes in herself and found the answer.
Just by staying here, one would really freeze. However, what would freeze was not one's body or brain, but one's own time.
Time passed so slowly. It wasn't that time had stopped, but that the time he possessed had unknowingly slowed down. Why did Lurunaka keep talking to him? Was it because she was bored? It didn't seem like it.
Tu Ju took a deep breath. When she exhaled, the entire atmosphere changed.
She had been very quiet all this time, as if she wanted to blend into the snowstorm, but now she looked more like a blurry figure in the snow. She seemed to blend into the snow, but she rejected everything. The light around her was distorted, forming a blurry and distorted mirror image.
Double shadows appeared on her body, overlapping with several layers of shadows.
"It's uncomfortable."
After becoming like this, Tu Ju was silent for a while before speaking to Lulunaka, "This is the first time I've seen such a quiet hell."
Lulunaka's body did not change at all. Only the rabbit chrysanthemum had changed.
She was still smiling, as if she was not affected at all. "Although it will become denser after descending to a certain height, which will catch people off guard … I didn't expect your resistance to be so strong. You only noticed that something was wrong when you arrived at the disaster area, and it didn't affect you at all in the beginning.
You're amazing. You do have some very good qualities. It's really delightful. "Lulunaka clapped her hands as she spoke, looking very appreciative.
"If you hadn't reminded me, I probably would have fallen for it.
Furthermore, I didn't sense anything suspicious along the way. It's just too embarrassing. "Tu Ju shook her head.
"You'll realize it yourself. It's just a matter of time.
Of course, in a place like this, the order and speed of the time will probably have some different results. "
Lulunaka said, "A day here is a day, a year might be a day, a day might be a year … Who can say for sure?"
Tu Ju suddenly became nervous. However, Lulunaka seemed to know what she was thinking and immediately said, "Don't worry now. Time is very stable. A day is a day. It's not a day in heaven, a year on earth, and it's not like the story of the gods and mortals in Urashima … It's just that your time almost changed.
Everyone who comes here for the first time will have such a reaction. It's like a lowland person going to the highlands. Their body just can't adapt in time. "
Of course, there were people who couldn't adapt and died on the highlands … Then, it wasn't strange for people who couldn't adapt to die here.
Lulunaka added at the end. Tu Ju couldn't be reassured by her words, even though she herself wanted her to be reassured.
Looking around, there were only drifting snowflakes and a bottomless abyss. On Lulunaka's side, there was a solid ground under her feet. It was a platform covered in snow.
In a place like this, there was an obviously repaired platform for people to walk on. Just beside Lulunaka, there was a hole that one could enter. Darkness swallowed the light and snow.
Tu Ju couldn't understand why a place like this needed a place for people to walk on. But what if this was a forbidden area?
If this place was a forbidden area for the Dragonians, was it really okay to enter and leave so casually?
However, Long Xiao's attitude towards Lulunaka wasn't just respectful. Her attitude towards Lulunaka was very similar to some of the interactions she saw in her hometown.
Just like how worshippers respected their gods …
Such words shouldn't be said casually or even thought about.
"If you're worried that someone will say something, then don't worry."
Lulunaka seemed to be able to read Tu Ju's mind. She continued, "This isn't a forbidden area and Long Xiao won't mind.
Other than being difficult to enter, there's nothing of value in this place. "
Lulunaka walked into the hole as she spoke, then turned to look at Tu Ju. "Of course, if you can't come out alive, no matter what treasure you take, you can't bring it out. Then it's meaningless and worthless."
"That's not reassuring."
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Lulunaka smiled and gave herself a thumbs up. "Since I promised Chen Baihu to take care of you, I won't really let you die, right? Don't worry and follow me. Isn't it the idea of you Eastern cultivators and martial artists to obtain divine weapons in a forbidden area?"
After saying that, Lurunaka walked in and didn't wait for Tu Ju.
If she hesitated here, Lulunaka wouldn't wait for her. Tu Ju knew this, but to let someone she couldn't see through lead her into a completely foreign world … It wasn't something she could easily resolve.
If it was an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to make such a decision immediately.
Bunny Chrysanthemum followed after Lurunaka before she completely disappeared from sight.
After passing through the hole, the sound of the wind and snow outside seemed to be isolated from the world. It became quiet all of a sudden. The whistling behind seemed to be very far away and could only be heard faintly.
There was only darkness in front of them. They could only see Lulunaka's petite figure standing in front of them. She was so petite that it seemed like she would disappear at any time.
"It's so cold. My bones are freezing."
Although Lulunaka said that, there was no sign of her being frozen. She seemed to be full of vitality.
She took out a glass bottle that glowed faintly from her pocket. After shaking it a few times, the fluorescent light became dazzling and illuminated the surroundings.
"Follow me."
