Chapter 2 The Guide

  ♂?,,

  Shi Lings face changed slightly, while Cheng Lin on the side let out a sharp scream. Shi Ling had already grabbed a stone beside him and was frantically smashing it down at the earthworm which was still expanding wildly.

  Disregarding the disgust and danger, Shiling held up this stone that was about half the size of his head with both hands, smashing it dozens of times. When he was exhausted and panting, the earthworm had already been smashed into a pulp.

  Just as I let out a sigh of relief, a miserable cry came from behind me, it was Cheng Lins voice.

  Shi Lings face changed greatly and she turned her head, only to see a giant fly emerging from behind them, which happened to pounce on Cheng Lin.

  Cheng Lin let out a loud cry and her body couldnt stop itself, slamming into the instrument in an instant.

  At this moment, Shiling already knew that the mutated monsters that appeared here were actually caused by this instrument. What changes would occur if Chenglin collided with it?

  Shi Ling grasped the stone, just as he was shocked to see the instrument in front of him being knocked into by Cheng Lin, and it suddenly underwent an even more terrifying transformation, bursting out with clusters of dazzling blue light.

  Shi Ling understood, it was an electric light.

  "Ah——" Cheng Lin let out a blood-curdling scream, her body violently convulsing for just one or two seconds before being incinerated by the terrifying electric current, turning into a charred and fragmented mass.

  Cheng Lin

  Shi Lings liver and gallbladder were both torn apart, he couldnt help but let out a loud and crazy cry, immediately followed by severe back pain, his body felt like it had been smashed by a terrifying thousand-pound giant hammer. The mutated giant fly had already crashed into Shi Ling, its claws tearing open the muscles on his back, revealing the white vertebrae inside.

  Shi Ling was in so much pain that he almost fainted, struggling to turn his head and look at the ugly face of the giant fly getting bigger and bigger in front of him. He thought it would be better to die from the electric current released by the device like Cheng Lin than to be bitten and swallowed by such an ugly monster.

  The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a mournful smile. Shi Lings mind was empty and blank, he didnt think of anything, but with his last strength, he fell backwards.

  With a loud "boom", his head heavily smashed into the instrument behind him. Almost at the same moment, a dazzling blue-white light burst out from the instrument, and a terrifying electric current struck Shilings body.

  At this moment, Shi Ling felt that his body was being torn apart by a terrible force, inch by inch, and his head was like a huge mouth opened with a knife. Countless messages and information poured into his mind from the gap.

  Endless scenes, endless data and messages, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, as if the river was surging, closely followed by a dizziness in his head, his whole body seemed to have exploded, and then he knew nothing.

  In this deep chasm, Shilings head heavily collided with the instrument, which burst out even more terrifying electric lights. At that moment, a strange thing happened - the electric lights did not burn Shilings body into charcoal, perhaps because the current was too strong, it directly decomposed Shilings body into countless light points. These light points converged into a flow and surged into this strange instrument.

  Not only that, but even the charred body of Cheng Lin, who was electrocuted into a ball of charcoal on one side, was disintegrated into light points by a mysterious force and pulled in.

  As Shi Ling and Cheng Lins bodies disintegrated and disappeared after colliding with the instrument, the mutated giant fly stopped in its tracks, seemingly instinctively sensing fear as it gazed at the device before it.

  Its strange to say, but after Shi Ling and Cheng Lins bodies were disintegrated and absorbed by the terrifying electric light, this constantly changing instrument began to automatically dismantle itself. Blocks of metal rose up with bright lights, continuously recombining, and soon transformed into countless tiny instruments as small as mosquitoes.

  These small, gnat-like instruments fluttered through the air, carrying mysterious messages that no one knew about, along this crack, rushing towards the ground, spreading far and wide in all directions...

  ***

  When Shi Lings head hit the strange instrument, he originally thought he was going to die, but vaguely heard a muffled voice: "The first one is unqualified, pending... The second one..."

  At this point, the vague voice suddenly became clear and turned into a very sweet and pleasant female voice: "Qualified."

  Listening to the womans voice in his mind, Shi Ling hurriedly opened his eyes and found that he had not been electrocuted by the lightning from the instrument like Cheng Lin, but instead appeared in a strange space.

  "Am I still alive?"

  Shi Ling was stunned, his hands clenched into fists, this feeling was real, not a dream, he was not only still alive, but the injuries on his face and back had also healed, his severely depleted physical strength had recovered, and he felt like he had been reborn.

  All around were clusters of white light, and before him was a vast space with a gigantic instrument resembling the "Pyramid of Gold" standing tall at its center.

  This "golden pyramid" is divided into ten layers from bottom to top. The last layer opens up a brilliant space, leading to a place that no one knows.

  Xī Líng is waiting at the very bottom of this "pyramid", tiny like a small bug.

  Around his body, there was a light sphere enveloping him. Inside the light sphere, there was a gigantic screen on which various patterns were jumping constantly and countless characters kept flashing.

  After seeing all this clearly, Shi Ling was shocked and almost speechless. When he tried to walk out of the light sphere that enveloped his body, he found that although it was transparent, he couldnt get out. He stretched out his hand and could feel the smoothness of the light wall in front of him, which was as hard as tempered glass.

  "What...whats going on here?" Through the transparent light sphere, Shi Ling could clearly see that in this vast and boundless space, it seemed like he was the only one. However, closely following behind him, a white light sphere emerged from afar, followed by a second one...

  Just as he was bewildered, a womans sweet voice suddenly came from the huge screen in front of him.

  "Dont be afraid, my child, you are the first qualified candidate to be selected to come in here."

  As this sound occurred, Shi Ling looked over and the gigantic screen in front of him stopped flickering, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful womans face, with a gentle smile, gazing at him.

  The womans appearance was so perfect that it exceeded imagination, and not a single flaw could be picked out. This was definitely not an external appearance that humans could possess. Shiling didnt know how to use human language to describe her beauty.

  "Who is it?"

  Shi Ling felt that all of this was like a dream, he had clearly hit the instrument that looked like a bell, and should have been electrocuted to death just like Cheng Lin, so why hadnt he died? Instead, he found himself in such a strange space?

  Everything in front of me doesnt seem to be something that can be made with the current technological level on Earth. Have I traveled through time and space to a future world? The instrument I bumped my head against, is it actually a time machine that can travel through time and space? What about Cheng Lin, did she also come through?

  "You may call me the Guide, I will guide, now having the right to choose, can randomly select one of the Sacred Emblems, remember, this is the only chance, each qualified person selected will have a unique Sacred Emblem."

  With this sound, the huge screen in front of him began to flicker, and the avatar of the self-proclaimed "Guide" beauty disappeared, replaced by a sword.

  This sword looks quite luxurious, with a golden color throughout, like it was cast in gold. There are rows of small characters on the edge, which seem to be introducing various information about the sword. However, before Shi Ling could understand what was going on, the pattern on the golden sword had already disappeared, replaced by a pentagonal shield with the same font of introduction on the edge.

  Immediately following the shield, a thing like an ancient oil lamp appeared, and then the oil lamp disappeared, replaced by a fishing net. The fishing net vanished, and in its place was a zither. After the zither disappeared, a ball of fire appeared, and then the ball of fire also disappeared, replaced by a silk ribbon...

  The patterns on the screen changed faster and faster, Shi Ling looked at them with dizzy eyes, only feeling inexplicable, and couldnt help but ask: "What is a sacred emblem? Why do I need to choose a sacred emblem?"

  That sweet female voice rang out again, but it was not an answer to his question: "Forgot to remind you, if no choice is made within one minute, it will be considered as automatically giving up the only right of choice."

  "Wait, how am I supposed to choose?" Shi Ling wasnt quite clear about what was going on, but she vaguely felt that following the sweet and gentle voice would be better. Was she supposed to choose one of these strange and bizarre things appearing on the screen? Were these things called "Sacred Emblems"? The patterns were changing too fast, and she couldnt understand their specific uses at all.

  "Just say stop in front of the screen." The sweet female voice smiled and said: "There are 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds left until the end of the selection time..."

  Originally, Shi Ling still wanted to take a closer look and choose carefully, but upon hearing the sweet and beautiful womans voice, he couldnt help but hastily shout: "Stop! Stop! Quick, stop!"

  The patterns changing on the huge screen came to a stop, and a sweet female voice with laughter said: "Very good, congratulations on selecting your own unique Sacred Emblem."

  Shi Ling let out a sigh of relief, having finally made her choice just in time. She looked up at the massive screen again, where an image of a small, ordinary cloth bag had appeared.

  An ordinary black cloth bag, looking very inconspicuous.
