Chapter 402 - 402 An Unknown Voice
To be able to turn him into a withered corpse in an instant, it seemed that the mysterious power was not easy to deal with.
Soon, Qin Chen noticed that after the blood-wyrm race expert’s body turned into bones, the decaying did not end. Instead, the corpse was turning into dust!
This power seemed to be working on the blood-wyrm race expert, and as time rapidly passed by, a terrifying scene appeared before everyone’s eyes.
It was as if the expert from the blood-wyrm race had experienced an accelerated death, leaping through time.
His soul began to dissipate, then his flesh and blood. In the end, nothing was left.
It was as if all traces of his existence had been erased. Such a terrifying scene made everyone feel fear in their hearts.
They didn’t even dare to approach the blood-wyrm race expert’s corpse. They could only watch as it slowly turned into dust and disappeared into the stars.
There were too many incredible mysteries in the cosmic, just like what they had seen. To think the God-realm expert of the blood-wyrm race had died in such a strange and incomprehensible way.
Then, Qin Chen took a step forward. He wanted to see if there was any problem with the flow of time around the blood-wyrm race expert.
“Be careful!” Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji couldn’t help but say.
When his hands touched the blood-wyrm race expert’s body, nothing happened. It seemed that his guess was wrong.
Qin Chen let out a sigh. It seemed that they would face many dangers again in their attempt to find the ancient tree of life. They could possibly die here if they were not careful.
The big scorpion said, “Could this be an attack from some mysterious expert here? what if the other party is an expert who has mastered something similar to the Great Path of time? What if he caused such a strange scene the moment he made a move?”
Seeing this, everyone’s heart was filled with the same thoughts as what the big scorpion had said. There might be an expert who could control time around them. Only then could such a strange scene be possible.
Before Qin Chen could speak, a voice speaking an unknown language was heard. The voice seemed to be coming from a distance, attracting everyone.
“What’s that sound?” The big scorpion’s hair stood on end. There was no sign of life in this place, so how could there be sound?
Could it be that there were other living beings here that they hadn’t noticed?
Impossible! The big scorpion instantly denied this thought. He was a Supreme Sage and with the powerful abilities of Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the Elder King, and Yuji, how could they not detect living beings if they were around?
Yet, the voice was too strange. It was like a whisper. What was going on?
Qin Chen looked at Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the rest, feeling bewildered. His intuition told him that the expert of the blood-wyrm race had most probably died because of this sound!
As long as they could find the source of the sound, they should be able to find the answer.
Then, Qin Chen exchanged a look with the others and decided to explore further ahead. Perhaps they would learn the truth if they found the source of the sound.
They had come to find the ancient tree of life, but now the situation had changed, and they were moving to protect themselves.
After all, they did not wish to lose their lives before they could even find the ancient tree of life.
From the looks of it, other than the sound, there was nothing else that could explain the danger and strangeness of this place. So, even if it was just for their survival, they had to find the source of the sound.
It was probably too late to leave now. Qin Chen and the others guessed that if they tried to leave now, they would be killed by the strange power very soon.
Therefore, they could only brace themselves and move forward step by step. They wanted to see what was the source of the sound that was affecting them.
There was a power that seemed to have an alluring charm in the voice.
It steered everyone to continue moving forward.
Qin Chen and the others had been walking carefully for a long time, but they still couldn’t find the source of the sound. The sound seemed to be neither far nor near, yet just in front of them.
But they couldn’t see anything, not even a trace of fluctuation. They could only vaguely hear the sound coming from ahead.
The group continued to move forward. However, along the way, they did not discover any strange power descending on them again.
In other words, as long as they kept moving forward, they should be fine. Could it be that the voice was giving them directions?
Qin Chen was bewildered. He had already activated the innate sword embryo. If anything happened, he could use the terrifying emperor’s might of the innate sword embryo to resist it.
Holy Maiden Mu Xue followed behind Qin Chen, together with Yuji and the big scorpion. She knew that her current strength was not enough to resist this terrifying anomaly.
She didn’t want to die in vain, so letting Qin Chen lead the way with the innate sword embryo was the best choice.
As time passed, they had already traveled some distance, and they saw a meteorite, which seemed to be a little different.
Qin Chen and the others couldn’t pinpoint what the difference was, but their intuition told them that it was different.
Could it be that they were approaching the place where the sound came from?
This unknown voice terrified them. They wondered if the owner of the voice wanted to kill them.
One should know that Qin Chen and the others had been very vigilant, afraid that something strange would happen in front of them. Unfortunately, the expert from the blood-wyrm race had died.
If he hadn’t, they might be able to get some useful information from him. Listening to the sound, Qin Chen continued to move forward.
At this moment, the sound in their ears became clearer and clearer. In the humans’ ears, it sounded like a human whispering, but the big scorpion heard the demon race’s language.
It was as if this voice had some kind of special characteristic that made it understandable to everyone.
The voice seemed to be saying, “Hurry over!”
Just these two words were enough to make Qin Chen and the others’ scalps tingle.
“Hurry over!” These two words were repeated over and over again as if whatever was saying the words really wanted Qin Chen and the others to continue advancing.
What kind of existence was making this sound in the Tranquil Land?
They hadn’t seen anything yet, but it didn’t stop them from feeling that there was most definitely danger ahead.
