The transmission of space is extremely fast and only those who have experienced it can feel the closeness of the space tunnel. After Lin Luoran stands still, she feels the dazzling light in front so she opens her eyes.
Immediately, she realizes her body is soaking in the water. Waves are coming one after another and the smell is a bit unpleasant. The air is also very dirty, filled with gray mist that disgusts her.
Lin Luoran casts a magical shield, isolating the smelly water from the air. She then begins to look round her surroundings.
She is now standing in a sea. The sea is smelly and there is a lot of floating garbage. There is a dazzling sun hanging in the sky. Plastic bags are a large part of floating garbage, otherwise Lin Luoran may think she is sent to the Sea of Sin again after she is out of Mount Penglai.
Plastic bags will not be been seen in the Sea of Sin. So where is it?
The sun in the sky is hot and the seawater and air are so polluted. This place is nothing like the Earth—ordinary people cannot survive in such an environment.
Lin Luoran sighs. It seems that Spirit Mountain teleportation is of bad quality. She is transported to a heavily polluted planet and she now can’t fulfill her wish to see Sang Ye and others.
Having experienced so much, Lin Luoran is better at making the best of things. Since there is white plastic waste in the sea, it means that the planet is intelligent and civilized—she thinks the locals must have been out of this planet to the outer space. Otherwise, who will destroy his own planet this way?
Lin Luoran is about to pick up a floating plastic bag from the smelly sea water to study it when she hears a strange noise behind her.
With the sound of water, something is coming out from the water.
Lin Luoran seems to not find anything strange. However, her eyes could not help but squint when she lowers her head.
She does not have to look back and she can “see” things behind with her spiritual mind. A big head fish is coming out of the water. Lin Luoran squints because the big head fish is full of steel teeth and it is waving a pair of long legs like a mantis.
What kind of fish it is? Lin Luoran feels a wired energy in the water monster’s body. She is more sure that this place is not the Earth.
It moves extremely fast. It thinks Lin Luoran is unprepared and waves its long legs to move towards her.
People can feel its long legs like a mantis’s are extremely sharp in the sun. It seems that it is about to cut off Lin Luoran’s head. Lin Luoran flashes sword light and the head of the big fish has been separated from its body.
Its eyes are still fierce. It’s so quick that it can’t realize what has happened.
Its head flies into the air and then falls down. The headless body twitches for a few times. Finally, this big head fish is dead.
Lin Luoran looks at the green blood flowing from the wound and feels a tumble in her stomach.
She is not a squeamish person but people with personal ability are very clean. The heavily polluted seawater and air here and the ugly water monster make her feel unacceptable for a while.
It seems that because of the bloody smell, there are other things coming in the distance. Lin Luoran picks up the head of the big fish from the sea. She casts the Wind-riding Spell and flies above the sea, waiting quietly.
Sure enough, within a moment, a group of strange creatures in the water comes and robs the body of the big head fish monster with mantis feet.
Fighting is inevitable. The black sea then becomes a dyeing workshop. It turns out that not all blood of monsters is green. Seeing the familiar red blood, Lin Luoran feels a little better.
She summons the Bright Sword and stands on the sword to dissect the head of the big head fish.
A bunch of mottled energy clusters is hidden in it. Lin Luoran takes out a thing like a monster bolus in the green blood. It contains abundant energy. However, unlike the monster bolus, Reiki only occupies a part of the ingredients. Most of it is the gray energy substance which makes Lin Luoran feel nasty. Such a thing is unqualified for making elixirs or self-cultivation. Lin Luoran just puts away the bead casually.
She flies on a sword very slowly. The monsters she encounters along the way are mostly in the water. There are also some creatures flying in the air, such as strange birds and mosquitoes larger than people.
For Lin Luoran in the late Bearing Essence period, they are not powerful at all. The most powerful ones among them are just comparable to Rank Three or Four monsters so she feels a little at ease about this planet.
At first, she doesn’t cast the Mini World. Those things are always coming for her and she also wants to have a try. After killing a lot and getting a bunch of useless beads, she feels bored again. She changes the spells of sword and accurately flies in a certain direction.
She walks so fast that she misses a pair of eyes on the water.
The hill-like body scares the water monsters and waterfowl so much. It turns out to be a big tortoise and it looks very clumsy. Looking at the sword light disappearing in the sky, it sinks back to the smelly sea again.
…
Lin Luoran aims at one direction and flies for a while. With her spiritual mind, she sees the land quickly.
Some large steel ships are sunk and stranded on the shore. The black water is surging and Lin Luoran is stunned.
A lot of big words on the boat have fallen off but she can vaguely recognize that it is the language of Huaxia.
How can it be?! There will not be such a sea area in Huaxia. In just a few years, monsters can’t evolve so much in this way. Lin Luoran is at a loss and her spiritual mind completely reaches out.
Lin Luoran recognizes many landmarks in a hundred miles. She is familiar with this place—although most of buildings have collapsed and been ruined, the uncorroded words have proved that this is the city of Yantai where she lived before she went to sea.
How can the Bohai Gulf become like this?
Lin Luoran’s lips turn pale. She can see nothing but relics and monsters in a hundred miles. There is no human being and she has a bad hunch.
She tries her best to calm down. Identifying the direction, she flies towards Rong City.
The great rivers and mountains are now all destroyed. The cities she sees along the way show no signs of human activity. When Lin Luoran lands on the Lins’ villa in Rong City, she can hardly recognize the relic on the scorched earth which is once called “kingdom of heaven”.
The green wall collapses and the black tiles don’t exist. Even the roots of exotic plants in the yard can not be seen anymore.
In rubbles, two ugly beetles are planing. They smell fresh blood and rush up like crazy.
Lin Luoran doesn’t have any emotion. She raises her hand and kills them all after they hit the magical shield. Brown blood splashes all over the magical shield. Lin Luoran squats down and buries her head in her knees.
The Lin family… the home she has built and protected for so long… At this moment, there is only a pile of broken rubbles and walls!
Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, Luodong, Zeng Tian, Yuan Ye, Lucy, Goldie… Where are they?
Lin Luoran is at a loss but she suddenly wipes away her tears and comforts herself. Maybe the Lin family is in the Qingcheng Villa. Calm down… she has to calm down… these monsters are extremely difficult to deal with for ordinary people but Mr. Lin and others are cultivators. It should be no problem for them to handle some little monsters.
She has to find her family first and then figures out what happened!
Lin Luoran casts the spell of sword and flies to Qingcheng Villa. Seeing a piece of burnt yellow soil on Mount Qingcheng from afar, she feels her heart is sinking into the sea.
The iron door is rusted and it was distorted by something. The villa is in a mess. All fields of fruit, medicine, and vegetables are abandoned. Rooms are messy. There are only a few iron appliances left in the villa, covered with rust marks.
These things make Lin Luoran desperate. There is still not any living person in the Qingcheng Villa.
She stumbles to the Qingcheng Taoist Temple. The hilltop has been razed by some weapon and the hill in the old days can not be seen.
Recalling how powerful Yin-Yang-Mote Circle is as the crazy Taoist told her, Lin Luoran tells herself that sleeping Baojia must be fine. She follows her memory to find the location of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple. However, she sees a crack deep into the ground in the leveled hill.
There is a touch of Wood Reiki leaking from the crack on the ground. Lin Luoran is shocked. Why is the magic circle opened?
How is it opened… She suddenly goes crazy and rushes down the crack. Under the stone stairs, the tall soul wood withers into a ball. Several monsters like wild wolves are lying on the ground to absorb Wood Reiki with glowing green eyes. They are looking at Lin Luoran vigilantly.
Even when they are dead, their limited brain still can’t help them understand why this scented human cry in tears.
—Baojia… Baojia… do you also leave me?
Lin Luoran looks up to the sky and screams. Her voice is sharp and she doesn’t even hide her personal ability of the Bearing Essence period. Under the oppression, let alone the wolves in front of her, all monsters of Rong City shiver.
What happened?!
The hostility she grew for surviving in the monster forest is now triggered again. Lin Luoran’s hair and dress hem are all dancing strangely. The way she cries is like Rakshasa back from the hell.
