Chapter 2274: Chapter 2271: Phantom (Part 2)
Everyone took out the tents from their backpacks, and when they were completely set up, the sky was filled with countless stars. In this high-cold region, it appeared very cold, yet very serene.
Watching for a long time, people would almost feel lost in this beautiful starry sky.
"Lin Tian, you keep looking at the sky, do you know astrology?" Xiao Manxuan came over, sat beside him, her face radiating with a smile, seeming to enjoy the scene.
Miss, however, was more reserved, sitting down a few steps away. She had heard of astrology, but only in legends.
Lin Tian chuckled lightly: "Legend has it that everyone corresponds to a star in the sky. For example, the ancient Emperor corresponds to the Emperor Star, which is the Zi Wei Star."
"Which star do you think I am?" Xiao Manxuan’s girlish heart was excited, looking at Lin Tian with great anticipation.
Lin Tian smiled and said: "Xuanxuan is so beautiful, of course, it’s Vega."
"Sweet talker." Miss shot him a glance, critiquing.
"Lin Tian, your astronomy and geography must be failing. There’s no Vega among stars, only a Vega System." Xiao Manxuan chuckled, yet despite her words, the little girl’s eyes couldn’t hide the laughter, brimming with sweetness: "Then which star do you think my sister is?"
Upon hearing this, Miss’s eyes flashed, she secretly glanced at Lin Tian without speaking, but there was a certain anticipation in her heart.
Lin Tian had already noticed Miss’s subtle expression but pretended not to know, deliberately pondering for a while before saying: "Miss is also so beautiful, forming the Vega System together with Xuanxuan."
Miss shot Lin Tian another glance, but a casual smile turned up on the corners of her mouth, seemingly very satisfied with Lin Tian’s answer.
"Fatty, you’re saying Brother Tian is handsome, powerful, and eloquent, why is he still single?" Ghost whispered.
"Maybe Mr. Lin has been hurt in a relationship before?" Huang Xiaopang said earnestly.
Ghost paused, surprised: "I say Fatty, can’t believe your intuition is quite accurate, seems like that might be the case."
"I don’t know either, TV protagonists are always like this." Huang Xiaopang said honestly.
Although they spoke softly, Lin Tian and Miss’s hearing was extraordinary, naturally, they heard it. The two exchanged a glance, the atmosphere became somewhat romantic.
"Lin Tian, do you think the Shennong Ding corresponds to a star as well, and then can it be found through the star?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously. Her words were not concealed, others heard and immediately perked up their ears.
Lin Tian looked up at the sky for a moment, said: "Maybe, but I don’t know which one. If Senior Sister Zi Yan or Lingyu were here, they might be able to see it."
Others were disappointed upon hearing, but were also very curious about who Lin Tian was referencing by Zi Yan and Lingyu.
"Brother Lin Tian, why did the stars suddenly start flickering?" Yan Lingling and Bai came over, the little girl looked puzzled.
"Flickering?" Lin Tian frowned, glanced up again, the Heavenly Star became rather unsteady, like swaying through a thin veil.
"It’s about to fog up." Lin Tian said sternly.
"How do you know?" Several beauties asked in unison.
Lin Tian looked around again, then said: "My grandpa and I lived in the village, for planting seedlings or harvesting, we had to watch the weather. At that time, weather forecasts were not accurate, so we had to observe on our own, the night sky, moon and stars, morning and evening glow, cumulus clouds, these all need to be watched. Otherwise, the newly dried rice might get drenched by a rainstorm."
"You were so skilled as a child." Yan Lingling exclaimed.
Lin Tian shook his head, amused: "Not really skilled, children who understood in the village would observe, it’s ancient wisdom handed down for generations, survival wisdom."
"Just like Fu Xi created the Eight Diagram, also summarized from the sun, moon, stars, the alternation of day and night, the change of seasons, the ebb and flow of cold and heat." Lin Tian said calmly.
Miss’s eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, murmured: "Ancestors fought disasters, fought beasts, and created Ancient Martial Arts in survival. Perhaps we think too complicatedly sometimes, maybe this is the origin of Ancient Martial."
As soon as this was said, several beauties fell into contemplation. Lin Tian looked quite surprised, Miss indeed had a remarkable gift, able to perceive the principles of Ancient Martial so.
"It’s fogging up..." Ghost suddenly shouted, interrupting everyone’s thoughts.
The fog came from nowhere, soon enveloping the campsite, and grew denser, with the eyesight of Ancient Martial Artists, even five meters away nothing was visible.
This distance is very dangerous for Ancient Martial Artists, if someone attacked, they might not have time to resist, like the Snow Eagle, since it fled, it hasn’t shown up.
Snow Eagle’s strength could tie with Snow Leopard Bai.
"Concentrate here, shrink defenses!" Lin Tian shouted, simultaneously reaching out his palm, a cluster of purple flames rose, piercing through the fog like a lighthouse, guiding the others.
Xiao sisters were right by Lin Tian’s side, the sisters immediately gathered, Miss also disregarded reserve, then came Yan Lingling and Ling Shuiyao, along with Fatty and Ghost.
The others didn’t gather, Lin Tian activated super perspective, finding the others were somewhat distanced, spontaneously forming a defensive team.
Lin Tian, Fatty, and Ghost, three males were on the outskirts, along with Bai, forming the first line of defense, the second circle comprised of Miss, Yan Lingling, and Ling Shuiyao, Xiao Manxuan who didn’t know Ancient Martial was in the center.
"Xuanxuan, send Little Zi out to scout." Lin Tian calmly instructed, having experienced an attack during fog in the Netherworld’s Barren Plain of Skeletons, this was no panic.
Xiao Manxuan had also been through it, quickly released Little Zi. Except for Miss, others saw Little Zi for the first time, only witnessing a purple line flashing by, Little Zi vanished into the fog.
The scenes Little Zi saw were mentally fed back into Xiao Manxuan’s mind, what Little Zi saw, was what she saw.
Xiao Manxuan used this ability for the second time; Little Zi’s perspective was quite different from humans. She only felt many images flashing through her mind.
Suddenly, a bright light streaked across the sky, followed by a thunderous sound, and suddenly, thunder erupted, making everyone a bit uneasy because they recalled Elder Yan saying there were many thunder zones in Death Valley.
Within thunder zones, thunderstorms would occur; these forces, even Shen Lin and Yan Lingling dared not resist, let alone competitors under Innate.
Xiao Manxuan was scouting through Little Zi; amidst lightning, only felt a blinding light, after which a shadow suddenly loomed in her face.
"Ah..." Xiao Manxuan couldn’t help but scream and lost contact with Little Zi.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Tian asked urgently.
"There was someone... but the features are blurred, like no face, can’t see clearly... also, I’ve lost contact with Little Zi." Xiao Manxuan composed herself to say.
