A faint red line appeared on the ground not far away.
The red line was very inconspicuous, and if one didn’t look closely, one wouldn’t be able to see it clearly at all.
Above the red line, an extremely faint and bizarre aura faintly rose up to the sky.
Zhang Chu looked at the red line with a somewhat ugly expression.
At this moment, Yang Xiaomai also saw the red line, and when she saw Zhang Chu’s ugly expression, she could not help but ask, “Big Brother Zhang, what’s wrong?”
Zhang Chu stared at the line and said in a deep voice, “It’s a boundary!”
“What does a boundary mean?”Yang Xiaomai asked.
At this moment, Zhang Chu said, “Legend has it that after some powerful demons cultivate to a certain level, they might trigger heavenly jealousy, that is, there will be a heavenly calamity that will descend and take their lives.”
“And the boundaries are the small worlds of their own that these demons create in order to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation.”
Seriously counting, this kind of boundary, was somewhat similar to the Ghost Mist, but it was completely different from the Ghost Mist, because the boundary itself still belonged to the Earth, and it was using its own mana to forcibly carve out a piece of land.
A demon with this kind of ability definitely had an extraordinary strength.
“I just don’t know, this boundary, is it a Rules Boundary or a Power Boundary.”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
Generally speaking, boundaries were divided into two types, rule boundaries and power boundaries.
The so-called power boundaries were where demons directly used their powerful mana to fight against the Heavenly Dao, forcibly carving out a territory for themselves to inhabit.
Like the orphanage, in fact, belongs to the power boundary, the original old dean, using his own powerful force, directly delineated a piece of overlapping world, founded an orphanage.
Of course, this boundary in front of him, wasn’t as strong as that, it didn’t even have a special door.
Like the orphanage, an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to find the entrance to the orphanage even if they arrived near that abandoned school.
Because, that boundary was created with doors.
But with this Junction, there was only a red line, and by crossing it, one entered that Junction, and this kind of Junction without a door belonged to the lower class of Junctions.
The Rule Junction, on the other hand, was another way of forming a Junction, it did not require the demon who created the Junction to have too much mana, however, this demon had to possess some sort of special perception.
For example, Zhang Chu had once heard of a strange boundary, the Silent Boundary, where all the people, or animals, that entered that boundary would immediately die if they made the slightest sound.
And the reason why that boundary was formed was not because of how powerful the demons in it were, but because there was a cold pool in there, and the cold pool was silent for ten thousand years, and it gradually produced some kind of strange rules.
Anyone who entered the vicinity of that area could not make a sound, and looking closely, the area around that cold pool also had this kind of red line.
At this moment, Zhang Chu muttered in his heart, “The biggest possibility is a rule boundary!”
Because, wanting to create a boundary with one’s own mana was too difficult, an old countryside snake, Zhang Chu didn’t believe that this kind of thing, could construct a boundary with one’s own mana.
And if it was a rule boundary, then as long as it did not go against the rules in it, no matter who went in, they would be fine.
“Follow me and don’t speak easily.”Zhang Chu said.
Hot Pot immediately said, “Grandpa, why don’t you take a rope and tie my mouth, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to resist talking.”
Zhang Chu smiled, “It’s fine, if you have an accident, we’ll eat a real dog meat hot pot tonight.”
The hot pot immediately shrank its neck, drooped its head, and followed behind Zhang Chu, not daring to say a single word more.
Yang Xiaomai also nodded and moved closer to Zhang Chu.
At this moment, Zhang Chu led them to the front of that red line, and then, Zhang Chu grabbed Yang Xiaomai’s hand, pulled Yang Xiaomai, and crossed the red line in one step.
The moment they crossed the red line, the world directly changed in front of Zhang Chu and Yang Xiaomai.
Originally, it was broad daylight and there was still the sun.
However, after crossing the red line, it was as if they had arrived at night, and the surroundings were somewhat dark, but there was a bright moon shining in the sky, the starry sky was very clear, and there was the sound of crickets coming from the surroundings continuously.
Look down, the ground, surprisingly white.
At this time, Hot Pot still couldn’t help but open his mouth and whispered, “Woof woof, Grandpa, it’s eggshells, the ground is full of eggshells!”
Zhang Chu nodded and squatted down, gently picking up an eggshell, a very small egg, a snake egg.
A ground full of snake eggs, not to mention tens of thousands, I’m afraid that hundreds of thousands would be more than that!
At this moment, Zhang Chu did not immediately move forward, but carefully observed the small village in the night.
The village had also changed greatly, no longer collapsed tiled houses, but a low hut, it was a very large piece of the village, which stretched to the end.
Some of the hut windows, there is a weak orange-red light pass out, does not look like an electric light, but like a candle or paraffin lamp.
At the entrance of the village, there was a strange-looking old tree.
It was as if the old tree had been dead for a long time, there was not a single leaf on it, the trunk of the tree was tilted, and the branches looked pale and strong.
And when Zhang Chu’s gaze landed on that strange tree, he vaguely felt that a mysterious force of Laws was faintly coming from that strange tree.
In the next second, in Zhang Chu’s Sea of Consciousness, the Star Pagoda trembled slightly, and a stream of information was transmitted into Zhang Chu’s mind.
“Do not light a fire, do not light a lamp, and do not break branches.”
Zhang Chu’s heart stirred and he was immediately surprised, “Hmm? The Star Tower actually serves this purpose!”
He knew that this boundary was, indeed, a Rule Boundary.
Originally, anyone who entered a Rule Boundary, even the most powerful Feng Shui Master would have a great headache because you did not know what the specific rules within the Rule Boundary were.
However, after the Star Tower entered the Rule Boundary, it was surprising that it was immediately informed of the rules.
“Worthy of being the Star Pagoda, it even has this kind of wonderful use, it seems that in the future, if I encounter a ghostly mist such as a Rule Boundary, I will be able to feel at ease and boldly break into it.”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Chu hurriedly told Hot Pot and Yang Xiaomai the rules of this place, “Remember, don’t start any fires, don’t light any lamps, that is, don’t play with your mobile phones, and also, don’t harm the branches of any trees.”
Hearing Zhang Chu say that, Yang Xiaodai and Hot Pot hurriedly agreed, “Got it!”
“Let’s go, let’s see what’s going on in this small village.”
With that, Zhang Chu brought Yang Xiaodao and Hot Pot and walked directly towards the village.
Soon, they arrived in front of a hut, which was lit up, with the sounds of some old people chatting coming from within, sounding quite harmonious.
Thus, Zhang Chu wanted to go up and see if it was a human or a snake that lived in the hut.
However, right at this moment, Yang Xiaomai suddenly exclaimed, “Ah!”
Immediately after, as if Yang Xiaomai had been greatly frightened, she directly pounced on Zhang Chu, “Big Brother Zhang, snake, snake!”
Plop!
Yang Xiaomai jumped directly into Zhang Chu’s arms.
Zhang Chu picked Yang Xiaomai up, and at the same time, he looked at the ground and realised that the place where Yang Xiaomai had just stepped on had collapsed.
Inside the pit, there were dozens of snakes twisting densely.
It was as if a pit had been dug on the road, and so many snakes had been deliberately placed inside, and then covered with a thin layer of soil to make a trap.
At the same time, Zhang Chu felt that Yang Xiaomai was hugging herself, trembling, and her arms were twitching as if she was poisoned.
“Eh? You’re injured?”Zhang Chu was taken aback.
“The snake bit my heel!”Yang Xiaomai said.
Zhang Chu immediately looked at Yang Xiaomai’s heel, and sure enough, a bit of blood was left in that area.
Zhang Chu’s heart stirred, and he immediately communicated with the Star Pagoda and took out an Antidote Pill.
Last time in the other Ghost Mist, Zhang Chu had refined countless antidote pills and placed them all in the Star Pagoda.
Therefore, even if Yang Xiaomai was poisoned, it did not matter.
However, without waiting for Zhang Chu to feed the Antidote Pill to Yang Xiaomai, the door of the hut in front of him suddenly opened and an old man walked out.
This old man directly shouted, “Aiya, bitten by a snake, right? Quickly, quickly, go to the entrance of the village, break a branch, and give it to her to eat, or else the snake venom will strike, and she’ll be dead!”
