Sanctuary Starfield Journey

The black star mark on Loamaya's forehead burned. Mu Yun sat beside her, casting Time-Controlling Fate - Swift Shadow Manifestation and Time-Origin Radiance - Cyclic Recurrence on her. Mu Yun's hands glowed, and soon after, she fainted. The small cloud above her head turned into a moon—a side effect of Cyclic Recurrence. Although it could reverse Loamaya's condition and alleviate the backlash from the black star mark, it also caused her to faint due to the side effects. Swift Shadow Manifestation not only revealed creatures but also continuously healed blood-bonded targets within the circle and cleared negative effects. Su Luoxin and Shen Hua helped Mu Yun and carried her to a bed on one side, while Lu Qingyu manifested to watch over Loamaya.

Chen Jiahong projected his mental energy outwards, only to find that apart from the corridor at the main entrance, the rest of the palace was impervious to mental detection. Nipawan was simply too authoritative.

Deng Kaiyang sensed someone approaching. His eyes were slightly open, his hand still gripping his spiritual technique. It turned out to be just a person bound and struggling towards the palace, climbing the stairs. Deng Kaiyang shook his head; this wasn't enough to warrant his intervention. He needed something stronger. Mo Bei also woke up. Hearing footsteps, he gently shook the sleeping Deng Kaiyang. Deng Kaiyang, still sleepy, asked, "What…?" He yawned, adding to the question Mo Bei might ask before falling back asleep. "You were thrown out by Chen Jiahong…" Mo Bei looked at the sleeping Deng Kaiyang. "Is he that easy to wake up?" He glanced at the thousand-step staircase, thinking, "Deng Kaiyang is strong enough; he should be fine." At the same time, the man bound and approached. Mo Bei summoned a Thunderflame Bomb, and Thunderflame Wings sprouted from his back as he flew over.

Mo Bei slowly landed in front of the two men and asked, "What's wrong?" The man was startled at first, "Thank goodness, Gao Shaole didn't lie to me! There really are living people in the main city!" Realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly composed himself, "I am Gao Mu Hilde-Cherry Wu Fumu (such a long name, let's just call him Cherry), I have come to ask His Highness Gao Zhiyu to heal my companion, Gao-Return My Flying Cherry (let's use these two to pad the word count)." Mo Bei put away the Thunderflame Bomb, since this Gao Zhiyu should be fine anyway, after all, Chen Jiahong was inside, so he picked up Cherry and flew towards the palace. The rope binding the woman's shoulders was pulled up and tied tightly around her neck. When her feet left the ground, she kept kicking her legs, causing her to start spinning, like a helicopter being rescued. Was it salvation or atonement?

Mo Bei, preoccupied with listening to Che Li, had his lightning flames reignite, causing his hand to slip, and the two of them flew out, smashing open the door. Deng Kaiyang was awakened by the noise: "?" Zhi Zhi was also startled. Chen Jia Hong, who was guessing it was the Boundary Tree causing trouble, had just asked Zhi Zhi, "Have you ever seen a tall tree that is entirely white with leaves that are a deep blue?" After receiving a negative answer, he was staring at the painting, seemingly unfazed by the two smashing the door. Te Xiaoming Ku: I've been turned into an Infected Person, but at least I'm still human! However, he couldn't speak.

Mo Bei crashed to the ground, his face barely stopping before the door, and he fainted. It's a pity that such a handsome face was completely wasted; don't tell anyone I deliberately didn't give the protagonist his good looks.

Squeak squatted in front of Te Xiao, using her spiritual power to absorb the black mud. Then she gestured for Cherry to untie the rope, and quickly hid in a corner, gasping for breath: "Absorbing the black mud for so long, I wonder how many more years I can last." After catching her breath, she prepared to take the two of them to the second floor where the survivors gathered.

Zizi closed the door, touched the Love Tattoo twice with her left hand, then three times with her right, and placed her palm on the circle in the middle of the door. An entrance opened in the ceiling, and a row of stairs rushed down, allowing the two people to carry Mobei up. Just as they reached the second floor, they saw Chen Jiahong touching the painting, triggering the Minecraft veteran player's "Dive into the Painting" passive ability, and she entered the painting. Zizi was very happy to see this, as she was glad to have met such a responsible person.

Chen Jiahong pulled his right foot back from the pit. If he had plunged in completely, he would have ended up falling into the hole behind the painting. Chen Jiahong was about to give Deng Kaiyang a good whack and send him flying, but then he remembered that Deng Kaiyang would probably be sleeping somewhere, so he could only stick his head in to check how big the pit was first. Luckily, he could jump over it in one step.

The passage behind the painting was extremely low and narrow, abruptly ending at the foothold after leaping over it. Only the coldness of the stone walls and the echo of breathing remained. Chen Jiahong barely managed to crouch down in the confined space, crawling forward rapidly. After about 10 minutes, she saw light.

As Zizi reached the second floor, she was greeted by people holding candles. The middle-aged man began, "Your Highness Gao Zhiyu… food…" but Zizi simply shook her head, gesturing for him to look behind her. "Only three people will be brought back." The middle-aged man was somewhat annoyed, but he could only make arrangements for them.

The second floor had only one endless path and rooms on either side. Zizi personally settled Mo Bei, who immediately opened his eyes, rolled to one side, and brandished a Thunderfire Bomb filled with flames and lightning, achieving a delicate balance amidst the firelight: "Where are Chen Jiahong and Deng Kaiyang!" He glanced around, then immediately regretted it, because he had just thought, "If these two can't protect me, then this person in front of me is extremely dangerous." Before Zizi could speak, he plopped down on the ground: "Um, well, I'm so dizzy, I'm hungry, I've fainted." Zizi looked at the person pretending to be unconscious, and although she didn't know what she was thinking, it wasn't good, so she squatted down and explained. Mo Bei stood up immediately after hearing this! He jumped up and was about to go down to find the two, leaving behind the words, "Ladies, please be mindful of your privacy." Zizi was still in a daze when she remembered she was wearing a skirt. What! Mo Bei actually inherited Qing Lan's will; I'll have to teach him a lesson someday. This also serves as a reminder to girls to protect themselves when they're out and about, and never encounter someone like Mo Bei.

As Chen Jiahong crawled through the passage in the painting, preparing to retrieve the burning bundle of straw from the small world, he suddenly realized that his mental grasping was also restricted. He cursed under his breath: "Merkuer Shi" (Shi means dry, Kuer means mother, Mo means your, a classic inverted sentence from the Val Cave).

Chen Jiahong stroked his Thunderbird feathers, then took out a storage bag from his pocket. Inside, besides pills, there happened to be a burning bundle of grass. He threw it towards the light ahead, and only rolled away after confirming that no one was lying in ambush and there was no danger.

Deng Kaiyang immediately rolled over, sensing there was work to be done. Looking into the distance, he saw only an endless expanse of smoke.
