The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 429 Silver Jade

"The door is open!"

Zhong Tu suddenly sat up, excitedly watching the slowly opening gate of the sealed land. "We can deal with the power of nightmares now!"

As he spoke, he strode toward the door, but when he looked through the open doorway into the interior, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"not that simple."

Qin Lang spoke in a deep voice, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

The door was indeed open, but the situation inside was worse than they had imagined.

Nightmare power has already begun to seep out through the gate, so what will the interior of the sealed land be like?

The answer is that the interior is already filled with nightmarish forces.

Looking around, the entire sealed land was shrouded in a thick, almost misty blackness. Within that darkness, which was enough to devour all light, surged a terrifying power that made everyone's heart tremble and fear.

Just seeing it gave Qin Lang a feeling of facing an abyss.

"This is only the outer perimeter of the sealed land; who knows what terrifying things it will be like inside?" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but gasp.

"Qin Lang, can we get in using the Azure Silver Pearl?"

"I'll give it a try." Qin Lang was also a little unsure. "Don't follow me. I'll take the pearl in by myself."

As he spoke, Qin Lang held the pearl high in one hand, but after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't safe, so he tightly hugged Xiao Cai's fish tank with his other hand.

Even Danbao and Lala were temporarily left outside the door. After doing all this, Qin Lang cautiously took a step towards the sealed land.

The black mist seemed to sense his presence and spread towards him at a visible speed. At this moment, Qin Lang's heart was in his throat, and he could only pray that the Azure Silver Pearl was reliable enough.

Soon the black mist arrived near Qin Lang. It seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and its speed of approaching slowed down significantly.

However, before Qin Lang could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the black mist disperse into wisps that were almost touching his body.

Qin Lang's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped back to the area outside the door.

The black mist seemed unwilling to let go of this hard-won prey, and was about to pounce out of the sealed land, but it was instantly blocked by the power of a gate, unable to advance even an inch.

“It seems the gate has been opened, but the sealing power remains.” Fatima adjusted her glasses. “That’s good news.”

"But we can't get in, it still doesn't work."

"I understand." Qin Lang nodded, his gaze falling on Xiao Cai again. "Xiao Cai, it's time to get to work."

"You wouldn't want us to be shut out and unable to find the truth behind the legend, would you?"

"Qin Lang, are you talking to this fish? It's just an ornamental fish... Waaah!" Di You couldn't help but wonder, but before he could finish speaking, Cao Dongdong stepped forward and covered his mouth.

"Say less, or you'll get beaten up."

Cao Dongdong had an "I've been there, so I'm telling you" look on his face, and Zhao Qian and Zuo Ge both agreed, which only made Di You more confused.

They had personally caught this fish on the "Leaping Fish" cruise ship and then given it to Qin Lang; it was clearly just an ordinary ornamental fish.

At this critical juncture, Qin Lang not only brought it along, but also asked it if it had any solutions?

Even if someone is desperate and will try anything, this is still ridiculous!
Just as this thought popped into Di You's mind, Xiao Cai rolled her eyes in annoyance upon hearing Qin Lang's words.

Then, it casually sprayed a mouthful of water at the Azure Silver Pearl.

he~tui! "Buzz—"

The Azure Silver Pearl trembled instantly. The faint light that had been on its surface grew brighter and brighter until it formed a blue light membrane with a diameter of five or six meters around the pearl.

"This..." Di You couldn't help but widen his eyes, "What is the origin of this fish?"

"It's a bit complicated," Qin Lang said, skipping over Di You's question. "Now, the Azure Silver Pearl should be able to block the black mist."

Just to be on the safe side, he went in alone once.

This time, the nightmare power, which could only be partially isolated by the Azure Silver Pearl and could not be completely isolated, was completely blocked outside the light membrane.

“Now that we’ve found a way, let’s go in,” Zhong Tu said impatiently. “Every minute we delay, more ordinary residents of Lanqiu City may be affected by the nightmare’s power.”

"Okay." Qin Lang nodded, and everyone quickly moved closer to him, entering the area of ​​the light membrane, and then carefully entered together.

"This godforsaken place, you can't even see the terrain clearly."

Zhao Qian couldn't help but complain. She tried to illuminate the surroundings with her flashlight, but the flashlight could only illuminate the area inside the light membrane. Once the light entered the area outside the light membrane, it would be immediately swallowed by the black mist.

"Watch your step, everyone. Don't step outside the light membrane," Qin Lang warned, before slowly moving deeper into the sealed area.

"There seems to be light over there!" Wei Shasha suddenly exclaimed, pointing in a certain direction outside the light membrane.

Everyone looked up and, sure enough, saw a faint, almost completely dim, but undeniably present glimmer of light within the black mist.

“This black mist can swallow up ordinary light, so any light that can be seen here must be extraordinary,” Fatima said in a deep voice.

"We'd better take a closer look."

"I had the same idea." Qin Lang nodded.

Because of the influence of the black mist, there was no scenery to be seen around this sealed place. Now that something special has appeared, it is natural to take a look.

After changing direction, the group quickly approached the light that Wei Shasha had spotted, and as they got closer, the outline of the light came into view.

It was a stone pillar carved with intricate patterns. At the top of the pillar was a pebble-sized object with a smooth surface that emitted a faint glow, but at this moment the glow was about to go out.

"Could this be something that guides and illuminates the sealed land?" Zhong Tu guessed. "Perhaps by following it, we can reach the source."

"Possibly." Qin Lang nodded, then looked around. "But we've only seen this one so far."

"If it's a guide, there should be many of them."

Just as everyone was discussing, Fatima suddenly spoke up.

“Smash it.”

"Smash it?" Qin Lang turned to look at Fatima, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Are you sure?"

“This is the Silver Jade,” Fatima said softly. “It’s not something that can guide the way or provide light.”

"The Silver Nightingale is known as 'The Shadow of the High Sky' in the legends of the Feli region, and it also has another name."

"That is the 'Guardian of Soul and Dream'."

"Legend has it that the Azure Silver Nightingale can guide the souls of the dead and bring beautiful dreams to the living. The Silver Jade is a record left by the Azure Silver Nightingale, which shows what happened at a certain moment in the past."

"I've seen a similar photo at another ancient site."
