Seeing this, Ah Jun waved his hand, trying to get some information, but the wristband had been indifferent to him since the last time he fell into the water, and this time was no different, so there was nothing to say.
The fish-shaped patterns began darting and frolicking, their red and blue hues intertwining——As Shengxis unicorn transformed into streaks of vibrant colors—scarlet, orange, yellow, green, indigo———this was... the color scheme of the legendary Hulugua Brothers, though one hue remained missing. Gradually, each color from the unicorns base shimmered to life, until a rainbow emerged from its tip, slowly spanning across the Taiji diagram.
With this wonderful phenomenon, the two fish in the light sphere began to permeate and harmonize with each other, and then a new color, purple, which was not seen by the unicorn just now, finally appeared in front of the children.
After that, the green light quickly retreated, and the purple light ball suddenly exploded, and finally, purple became the dominant color, mysterious and noble feeling.
"Wow, thats a great trick!"
The children were all stunned by this marvelous process, though Ning er and Yuwen Lu remained relatively calm. Xiao Xi couldnt help but sigh in amazement, only to be nudged by A Juns elbow before suddenly realizing what was happening. She quickly glanced down at her feet and the adult standing nearby.
—— Look how scared this kid is, he has a reflex...
" mew!"
However, Xiao Xi suddenly realized something was wrong. The kitten suddenly started barking as if it had spotted something—— Ah Jun immediately looked around... Hmm, the spot where the glowing orb had been was now completely empty. In the distance, a door had opened on the tree root wall, emitting the same dark purple glow from within.
—— Oh, the power of this light ball is so great that it actually broke through the wall. Fortunately, we are far away...
This persons thoughts are numerous, sometimes quite peculiar—— These were the insights Ah Jun suddenly came up with. Then, he and the kitten examined each other, exchanged glances, and a sense of mutual understanding emerged between them.
Soon, as the sun-like light on the unicorn came up again, the children entered the unknown gate one after another——Sheng Xi was still leading the way, but this time, the children had to keep up with her.
Yuwen Lu acted as an assistant, repeatedly reminding others not to stray beyond the lights reach, for danger lurked. After all, they had now entered the shortcut, a realm of unknowns——Even if they knew it would be safe, every advantage comes with risks—not entirely without peril. Of course, there was no need to be overly anxious.
The space behind the door was almost empty and extremely quiet, but it was not a very comfortable feeling—— this was what Ah Jun saw when he entered.
The dark purple translucent starry passage was carefully navigated, with suspended roads on both sides that looked like a cable car between mountains, but without guardrails.
—— So, for the fear of heights Ah Jun and the cat, it seems a little unfriendly?
But the truth seems to be the opposite. They were just skimming through the crowd, at the back of the line—— and probably not seeing much around them. No comparison, no harm, right?
Others would also look back at them from time to time. Yuwen Lu was responsible for it, but Xiao Xi and Ninger did not understand. What was there to be surprised about? They could see nothing!
——Well... there is, but it is not obvious and can not be detected by the average person...
Because, as time goes on, the environment within the space becomes clearer—— in the distance, the nebulae gradually appear, and the stars twinkle, just like in space, but it doesnt seem quite... to the photos taken by astronauts.
At this point, Ah Jun and the cat were stunned. Hmm, this should be a virtual space chamber——jokes aside, it is not so simple here.
Just as the children let their guard down, a sudden storm suddenly struck, leaving everyone in panic with nowhere to hide. Fortunately, it was only a force——of level 3. Yuwen Lu reminded everyone again that it was best to stay close to Sheng Xi, as this was a time-space turbulence. If blown to either side, it was easy to fall.
Fortunately, after this storm, no further dangers occurred. The children marched anxiously for a long time before gradually calming down. But just as everyone began to relax, Ah Jun suddenly noticed a dark purple gaseous planet emitting a faint glow in the distance—— It was rotating at a steady speed while radiating captivating particle light gas outward.
The glowing gas emitted a variety of colors that traced parabolic arcs as the planet rotated. Ah Jun watched, finding it reminiscent of the ground-rotating fireworks from his childhood—a fascinating sight that even astronauts might never witness.
However, the view from this vantage point was partially obscured by the Purple Star Cloud Road, requiring them to walk along the roadside to fully appreciate the scenery—— This prompted Xiao Jiawo to start urging Ah Jun. But Ah Jun, being cautious from childhood with safety as his top priority, didnt quite agree. Yet the kitten remained curious—after all, she loved beautiful things and this was a rare opportunity!
So, they were like this—one resolute, the other noisy... Gradually, Ah Jun began to waver. But ultimately, for the safety of the little dimple, he decided to hold back—— So, the kitten naturally became unhappy, pretending to be cold war with Ah Jun, looking pitiful.
Although Ah Jun has always been rational, he also has a sentimental side at the critical moment. For so many years, he has been mainly calm and self-control, which is also impossible—— Now, under the influence of the little dimple, he has no idea again and hesitates again.
After looking at the little cats depressed face, the boy quickly thought about it and told himself that the storm was unlikely to happen. As long as he was careful, it would be under control.
He stealthily slipped away with his dimples, moving quietly from the back of the line toward the roadside. Though Sheng Xi had noticed their every move, she didnt intervene—did that make it safe? The others naturally stopped blocking them either, except for Xiao Xi who was particularly annoyed by their psychological warfare tactics.
"I said, man, youre spoiling her too much—— Its just a cat, why treat her like your girlfriend... Whats your stance? Its not safe—— Besides, its pitch black, its just some stars, why does it look so good?"
"Ah? Didnt you see... Hmm, wait, what are you thinking, Xiao Xi—— Xiao Jiuwo is our companion and friend... Dont talk nonsense!"
" mew?"
"Um... Im your friend, brother, why are you so strict with me..."
" mew ..."
Xiao Xis words, though they hit the nail on the head, had no impact whatsoever on Ah Jun—— I know shes a cat, of course. Otherwise, do you think Id act like this? Im not that naive. This statement sounds strange... Ah Jun instinctively brushed off Xiao Xis opinion, then glanced at the puzzled little dimple. After mutual confirmation, they continued their actions.
However, when Ninger heard these words, she began to look somewhat awkward. Her face turned pale, and she remained silent, appearing gloomy. Yuwen Lu, standing beside her, watched the scene with a helpless expression. He shook his head and started reading a book.
"Little dimple, have you ever seen fireworks?"
" mew!"
"It really looks like the spinning gyroscope fireworks I saw when I was a kid!"
" mew ..."
"Its so beautiful. What happened to them? They didnt look at it?"
" mew?"
Arjun led the kitten slowly to the edge of the secret passage, cautiously peering through the opening while instinctively cradling his companion in one arm. Their playful banter had even distracted little Xi from her usual antics. After scanning the room with wide eyes, their gaze finally settled on Ninger—what was wrong with her?
Just as everyone was enjoying their leisure time, a sudden storm abruptly shattered the previous moments tranquility. However, this was not the previously rational turbulence but a 10th-level primordial —— that had already gone rogue. Even Shengxi seemed unable to predict it in advance. Thus, in the next instant, the children found themselves in grave danger.
" Small Dimple!"
The tremendous force came suddenly—— Fortunately, the other children, under the protection of Sheng Xis wings, managed to avoid danger. But Ah Jun and his companions were about to face a harsh test.
At this time, the cat crouching on the boys shoulder, admiring the beautiful scenery, was suddenly pushed by something... And Ah Jun was also pushed, resulting in a very unstable center of gravity, hands involuntarily swing, so that she could not protect her immediately.
However, the always cautious Ah Jun had already prepared a B plan—— just before the small dimple was about to be out of the scope of rescue, he held it in his hands and then hugged it tightly into his arms...
" elder brother!"
At this time, Xiao Xi, who was already safe, began to look for the trace of Ah Jun and his companions immediately. Soon after, Ning er and Yuwen Lu also quickly investigated. But to everyones horror, there was no sign of them on the horizon.
—— What about them? I dont think theyre really going down!
Indeed, Ah Jun couldnt maintain his balance under the storms fury and had to shield the kitten while plummeting together... Just as his companions were deeply concerned about their disappearance, a golden light suddenly flashed past everyones eyes and shot toward the starry clouds—Sheng Xi!
—— Right, with this gentleman around, they must be safe... But the point is, were still by Sheng Xis side. Looks like we can only rely on this light ball?
Clearly, this was just a naive notion of Xiaoxi—— Yet Yuwen Lu shared her concern, knowing the danger of falling involved a case from long ago. For Shengxi, even she couldnt command the unknown realm with complete control.
So, next, time became the only criterion for the safety of Ah Jun and his two —— Five seconds, the countdown, began... At this time, Ah Jun was in the first second of falling, but his little brain had already made the first decision.
As soon as the second second arrived, he clutched the cat in one hand and raised the other to retrieve the item from the bracelet—— but failed.
Of course, its not the wristband thats the problem. The main problem is that the array space in the Guardian wristband is invalid.
Furthermore, Ah Jun suddenly noticed his arm was swelling up, while the other one was struggling to keep its dimples... As both were expanding, the kitten had already become a fluffy ball... This was due to the pressure difference, indicating they were now in an area approaching vacuum status——It felt almost like being in space, though fortunately gravity and temperature remained relatively normal.
From this observation, the boy instinctively shielded his dimple with both hands. The two then had to slow their breathing using the Turtle Breath Technique. By the third second, Ah Jun executed a second attempt at the strategy with even greater speed.
Because here, talent is almost useless, let alone these children. So, the only way now, can only try basic skills, step out of the air.
Although, Ah Jun has only read the heart诀in the book, and has never tried it, but now he has no choice but to take a gamble—— the problem is, with the current air concentration, I dont know if it can support the basic needs of this ability. After all, this "air" refers to air, not nothingness.
Just as Ah Jun completed his second strategy, the light ball rushed over from his companions suddenly enveloped them—— Oh... It seemed much easier. Was it the power of Lord Seonghee?
—— Hmm! Now, the pressure changes and a problem is solved.
So, in the next two seconds, Ah Jun focused on his energy while still paying attention to his small dimples that had returned to normal.
So, at the end of the fifth second... push!!!
At this moment, Ah Jun, fighting with his back to the water, had to step —— all out. To his surprise, the boy found a sense of grounding and quickly moved into rapid motion.
—— Hmm? No, Im successful?
Apparently, Ah Jun was still surprised at this moment, while the little dimple was more understanding, after all, a girls intuition is more accurate, of course, and she saw a strand of silver light and a figure.
Then the fifth second is over...
