Devour

Chapter 122 Falling into a Trap

The lord hesitated and paused, as if he was not in a position to speak. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, and said softly, "In fact, they are still on the mainland, but they have become another form and are not seen in the sun."

Cheng Bai's spiritual sense was sharp, and he noticed that he was secretly looking towards the east and south. The bone mounds there and the location of the Faceless Man Temple were all mysterious. He thought, "Has he become a Bone Prison Undead? He is either buried in the ground or hanging on the corpse tree."

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the mystery of that mountain range that stretches for more than a thousand miles in the southeast?"

The lord hastily withdrew his gaze and stammered, "That is the Holy Mountain of Eternal Sleep, a forbidden place."

Cheng Bai asked, "What caused such a big change?"

The Lord's tentacles trembled slightly, and he sighed, "They discovered the biggest secret of Qiongqi Star. For a long time, my clan was ignorant of what was going on and watched from afar. It was not until the war was almost over and the situation was about to be settled that we learned of the clues. We hurriedly sent more troops one after another, and the Lord personally led the most powerful fleet to come, but it was all meaningless. My clan thought we were the biggest beneficiaries, but later we found out that we were completely used and even became prisoners."

Cheng Bai asked, "Who took advantage of you?"

The secret art of communication slowly took effect, and the lord said unwillingly: "It is... it is the Great Emperor Yunmen. Qiongqi Star is just the cradle of the Emperor. The ancient wars of all races for 100,000 years were just the foil of the Great Emperor. We have become stepping stones, or toys."

Cheng Bai thought of the Chaos Eggshell in the Pangu Ruins. Emperor Yunmen was indeed born there. He further confirmed, "Didn't the rumor say that Emperor Yunmen was born in the Yunmen Star Region?"

The lord shook his head and said, "That's where he became emperor. Yunmen Ziwei Star is the emperor's star, the place where the saints compete, and the bridge for the immortal world to manifest."

At this point, the lord felt a little regretful: "I have said too much. Little friend Cheng, please take a look at this star ship building. No. 328, the view is wide and the environment is quiet."

It seemed difficult to get the lord to reveal more secrets, so Cheng Bai stopped asking and took a look. It was also a modified Raider, so he inquired, "Do you have an Earthshaker to exchange?"

The Lord chuckled and said, "Yes. How about the No. 50? Although the size is the same as other Earthshakers, each turret is equipped with two guns, a total of heavy guns, far exceeding the conventional armament. The firepower was the strongest at that time. It could be said to be rampant in the void and majestic."

"Let's go in and take a look." Cheng Bai was quite interested seeing that he spoke so well.

The lord came to the star ship, took out the bone-shaped key to unlock the ban, and the door opened silently to both sides.

Cheng Bai was about to step through the door, but he found that the faceless man did not follow him in, and asked curiously: "Aren't you guys going to come and take a look?"

The lord and the generals stood in front of the starship and said quietly: "Young friend Cheng, if you are satisfied, just come out and tell me. The key can remove all the restrictions inside." After that, he threw the key over.

Cheng Bai took the key. He had already scanned the inside and outside of the starship with his spiritual sense, but did not find anything unusual. He thought, "The Hunter Gun King is under the coverage of his spiritual sense. If there is anything wrong, he can be teleported back and forth at any time. No one can stop him. Since there is no one else here, Li Tong can help check it out so that we can get more details."

Going upstairs, Cheng Bai took out the inheritance cube and followed.

As you step into this floor, the scenery in front of you is hazy. You are in a beautiful corridor, and warmth blows on your face. Bursts of laughter and the sound of salutes echo outside the wall. The air is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the big red lanterns hanging high are swaying in the wind, filled with a festive atmosphere.

The fragrance of osmanthus and orchid wafts from the front, and the red candles shine brightly.

Cheng Bai was attracted to step into the spacious and majestic room, which was the master bedroom of the building. In the center was a magnificent and exquisite bed, on which sat a gorgeous and dazzling woman.

That is the goddess in my mind.

She was wearing a phoenix crown and a red bridal gown, sitting there quietly. She was a beautiful sight, like a ray of brilliant rays of light, illuminating the palace of distant years, making her look as gentle and graceful as water, and as radiant as a peacock spreading its tail.

Ningxiang raised her head and looked at Chengbai. The teardrop-shaped red headdress on her forehead trembled slightly, touching the man's heart.

Cheng Bai's heart was filled with joy and love, and he couldn't help but want to go forward and hug the beauty who had been waiting for him for a long time...

No, she often communicates with Ningxiang Fuxin. She is obviously watching the forest, so why is she here and dressed like a bride?

Cheng Bailing looked closely.

In front of him was Li Tong's cute little face, who asked seriously, "What are you daydreaming about? Are you having sexual thoughts?"

Cheng Bai collected his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "It's nonsense. That's not true."

Looking up and around, I was clearly in a precisely regulated cabin. This star ship did not seem to be frequently inhabited by Faceless People. It was clean and tidy everywhere, with tall floors, and was more spacious than the Hunter Gun King.

Was that a dream or an illusion?

Cheng Bai was confused and continued walking to the upper level of the building.

From bottom to top, the rooms of Raiders are interlaced and can be divided into fifteen floors. The structure of Earthshaker is more complicated, and some corridors and rooms are crisscrossed, making it difficult to distinguish the number of floors. If you have to distinguish them, you can regard it as twenty-five floors.

Walking into the new area, you will see a gym with complete supporting facilities. The stamped concrete walls are thick and solid, and the beams and columns are carefully designed, which strategically divide the space and delineate different areas for various fitness programs.

The high ceiling conceals the carefully designed lighting, which is in a grid structure and equipped with a full range of three-dimensional track systems. Different spotlights can adjust the number and intensity of lights according to different training requirements.

Cheng Bai seemed like a regular customer. He walked towards the streamlined area for changing rooms, showers and toilets. He reached out to swipe his card to open the locker, but he looked around in a daze.

The room is brightly designed with warm and soft tones, which is a good place to rest after exercise. The mirrored tiles on the half wall are highly reflective, which makes the space look extended and creates a cozy atmosphere.

Cheng Bai turned and walked towards a familiar direction.

The closed soundproof design isolates the passionate music outside, making the office area relaxed and harmonious. There is also a small pharmacy next to it, which is prepared for guests who are accidentally injured in the boxing ring.

There was only one familiar person in the spacious office.

Cheng Bai looked in astonishment at his father Cheng Jue drinking at his desk.

He likes mellow liquor, which has an elegant and delicate taste, a long aftertaste and a lasting aroma. It is even more perfect when paired with lemon chicken feet, fried peanuts and cold pig ears.

Seeing Cheng Bai coming in, Cheng Jue said, "The fitness club is about to close. The income over the years is only enough to pay the bank interest. It is difficult to maintain the status quo. We can only let them auction off the huge building to repay the debt and repay the overdue loan. Maybe there will be a little left for our family of three to live a stable life for a few years."

Cheng Bai stared blankly at his father's graying temples, silent. The years he spent here were full of memories, which would eventually become the past.

Cheng Jue poured a bowl of white wine, tapped the edge of the bowl with a pair of chopsticks to accompany the song, and sang: "Wine makes people understand the fickleness of the world, and makes them sober and confused during the years of hardship."

Cheng Bai sighed and said, "Wine helps people understand the true feelings of the world, and only then can life be clear and profound."

Luo Jue picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Son, you are right, good wine."

As Cheng Bailing looked, the scenery disappeared like smoke, and he was still in the silent passage of the starship. It was clearly a distorted interweaving of reality and illusion.

Going upstairs again, Li Tong, who was leading the way, floated in the air. He turned around and winked, saying, "Convert all these rooms into guest rooms. You can be the landlord of Yichunyuan."

This is not its style. Cheng Bai calmed down and used his spiritual eyes to look carefully. Li Tong appeared in another place and stared at him and said, "You keep wandering around here. What do you want to do?"

Cheng Bai grabbed the inheritance cube and said seriously, "I have fallen into Mi Ermao's trap."

The Faceless Lord came to cause trouble, his real purpose was not a star ship that could light the beacon furnace, but Cheng Bai who could light the beacon furnace.

No wonder they proposed to exchange star ships and only let Cheng Bai enter. Perhaps the Faceless Lord had already discovered that he possessed the source of the divine fire.

Li Tong said: "That's not good, luckily you have a spiritual eye, otherwise I would be right next to you and you might never find me."

Cheng Bai asked: "It is difficult for the divine sense to distinguish between distorted reality and illusion. I cannot determine whether the area outside the starship is real or fake, so I cannot teleport away. How can I solve this problem?"
