Compared to the entire world, it's probably less than one percent.
"really?"
"If only there weren't those monsters, we could go and see places we've never been before. That would be so much fun."
As Tu Shan Ya Ya was speaking, she suddenly paused in surprise.
"Eh?"
"what is that?"
In the distance, shrouded in sand and dust, a dark shadow appeared.
As they drew closer, Tu Shan Ya Ya's expression grew increasingly surprised.
"This is... a city wall?"
"No way, they actually built such a long city wall in this location?!"
Tu Shan Ya Ya stared at the boundary line in shock, saying in disbelief.
"It wasn't built, it's a magical artifact."
The person stationed at this border is none other than the Old Man of Tianmen.
His natal magic weapon was extremely powerful, and this city wall, which stretched for countless miles, was constructed in this way.
As Lin Yu spoke, he glanced around, then led Tu Shan Ya Ya in a different direction and flew into the sky.
"Aren't we going over there?"
"There's no need. This is about enough."
Lin Yu stared into the distance, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the sand and dust in the wind and see into the depths beyond the circle.
The old man of Tianmen was stationed here to prevent others from venturing outside the circle and losing their lives. He had no grudge against anyone, so there was no need for him to make enemies.
Reaching an extremely high point, Lin Yu closed his eyes under Tu Shan Ya Ya's gaze.
A surge of spiritual energy emanated from between his brows, instantly transforming into a straight line that stretched into the distance.
"Om."
As his mental power expanded, Lin Yu's range of perception also broadened at an extremely rapid pace.
With his current capabilities, a straight-line scan can easily cover an area of tens of thousands of meters.
If Fengqi really went outside the circle, she probably wouldn't go too far.
After all, even the masked soldiers were wiped out before they got very far.
Even the three young masters of Aolai Kingdom are no match for those in the deeper, outer circles.
Even though the power within Feng Qi is of the same origin, no one can say for sure whether she will encounter danger.
With anticipation in his heart, Lin Yu began to carefully sense his surroundings.
The environment outside the circle is no different from that inside; it's as desolate as ever, just like what you see.
It didn't say that due to any monsters or anything like that the environment had changed drastically and become unsuitable for humans or demons to live in.
On the contrary, Lin Yu's scanning process was unusually quiet.
Forget about finding the phoenix, we haven't even found a monster.
'Nothing at all?'
Lin Yu felt a little strange and confused.
Logically speaking, aren't there many monsters outside the circle?
In the apocalypse, the zombies were like those trapped outside the houses, densely packed together.
However, just as Lin Yu was filled with doubt, a strong sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed him.
It was at this moment that many auras appeared in the previously calm perception.
In the instant his mental energy swept across the area, numerous strange figures appeared in Lin Yu's mind.
These beings are strangely shaped and highly abstract.
Some are depicted as red giants, but they have no arms, no other facial features, and only one eye.
Others shimmered with golden light, their forms even resembling Godzilla at first glance, possessing heads that were both lizard-like and dragon-like.
There are countless examples like this.
Everything was fine just a moment ago, but in this instant, it's as if something happened, and a riot broke out.
But no matter how peculiar their appearance, one thing remains the same.
That is filled with deep malice towards oneself.
Or, to be more precise, it is the spiritual power that extends from oneself.
Lin Yu, who was in the industry, had a slight change in expression. In just a short while, countless chaotic emotions surrounded the mind he was looking out at.
Anger, sadness, despair, jealousy, resentment
Those monsters, just by getting close, were enough to stir up the deepest emotions in my heart.
The two experiences are completely incomparable to the feeling of interacting with Fengqi.
Even now, with its mental strength further enhanced, it can only retreat step by step in the face of such an attack.
Lin Yu finally understood where his previous sense of crisis came from, and why these guys were so excited.
【assimilation! assimilation! 】
[We need to go in!]
[Contaminate them, kill them all! Kill them all!]
The intent emanating from these monsters clearly and explicitly revealed their thoughts.
What truly shocked Lin Yu was that these guys' abilities seemed to be even more terrifying than he had imagined.
He merely extended his mental energy to investigate, without even making any contact with the other party.
These guys seem to be able to corrupt even invisible mental energy.
Once one's spiritual power is corrupted, if it is withdrawn later, one's entire being may end up like the person corrupted by the Black Fox's power in the original story.
The thought flashed through my mind quickly.
Lin Yu didn't have time to search for Feng Qi; his mental energy was abruptly withdrawn like a startled rabbit.
【Lin Yu!】
Help me!
Just then, Lin Yu suddenly heard Feng Qi's cry for help.
The familiar figure suddenly appeared in a direction completely opposite to the one in the circle, waiting for his rescue.
Lin Yu's face darkened, and he grew increasingly wary of these monsters.
Who exactly are these guys? They haven't had any real contact with my mental energy, yet in just a short while, they've somehow learned my thoughts and created a phoenix-shaped illusion.
Faced with this obvious trap, Lin Yu showed no intention of turning back.
Before the monsters could catch up, he quickly withdrew all his mental energy.
Normally, this would be nothing more than a thought, but outside the circle, it sent a chill down Lin Yu's spine.
The moment he withdrew his mental energy, Lin Yu quickly entered a state of visualization.
In my mind, the crystal figure, now clearer and more transparent after many impurities have been removed, radiates a soft light.
Around it, illusory figures were swirling around it.
These phantom images are sometimes weapons, sometimes fist prints and palm prints.
The moment Lin Yu entered a state of visualization, countless illusory images of martial will shone brightly, and a domineering aura spread throughout his mind.
A terrifying aura filled my mind, like a sieve, sifting through the mental energy I had just withdrawn.
To prevent oneself from being unknowingly affected by those strange monsters, or having some kind of seed left behind.
After going through the process several times and confirming with his martial will that his mental power did not contain any other will, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and slowly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong? Did you find Fengqi?"
As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard Tu Shan Ya Ya's cautious voice beside me.
"did not find."
Lin Yu shook his head, looking solemnly at the direction outside the circle, especially at that golden light.
"But I almost didn't make it back."
Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Ya Ya's heart tightened. Looking at the boundless desert, a hint of fear inexplicably rose in her eyes, a stark contrast to her usual fearlessness.
Previously, she had been waiting by the side for Lin Yu's investigation results.
But before long, she saw Lin Yu's expression begin to change.
Surprise, doubt, solemnity, tension
