Chapter 1160 “Another Miracle (3)”
Staring down at the little boy that’s already at her waist high, the woman’s lips inexplicably drew into a warmed smile of comfort.
He’s already so big….
“Mother, you must come back quickly.” After a long time, Bai Xiachen finally released his arms despite his unwillingness, “Me and Dragony will wait here for you…”
Giving the boy a peck on the forehead to seal the promise, she gives the two kids one final hug before disappearing off into the white glow.
……
Once inside and out of view from everyone, Bai Yan could finally get a clearer look of what’s inside. Here, she felt incredibly refreshed, sweeping away any fatigue she built up over the many days of being stranded here in this underground valley.
“Maybe the reason Half Qing Sing couldn’t leave for so many years is because of this spot in the valley…. If someone wants to keep this spot off limits then it must mean there’s something important here, perhaps the exit!” Upon recognizing there’s hope to escape this dreadful place of darkness, her mind instinctively recalled the face of that woman whom she briefly encountered prior to falling down her.
I will settle the score with that woman once I get out of here. No matter the reasoning, the fact she dared to go after Xiachen is enough to make sure she dies!
Inhaling deeply to suppress the anger swelling out from within, Bai Yan carefully treaded forward towards the peak up ahead.
When she entered the white glowing light, it was only as big as a small cave, but beyond that was clearly a newer and vaster stretch of land. Spanning several mountain ranges in the distance, by the time she reached the mentioned area for investigation it was well into the evening despite the lack of light. Nevertheless, she could see the goal up ahead already, it’s a bronze standing gate. If it wasn’t for the deep ravine and cliffs in front, she would’ve run over to examine the thing already.
“Miracle?” A shock ran through Bai Yan’s heart upon recognizing the familiar object.
There’s no mistake, this bronze gate is very similar to the one I saw at the Holy Land…. But what is this thing doing here?
Despite the doubt and questions lingering around the strange encounter, the benefits of coming across another Miracle was more than enough to make Bai Yan disregard the former concerns. After all, she did improve her strength and alchemy by leaps and bounds with one, what would happen if she got two instead?
It’s just that……
Logic has always been the better player here in the woman’s head. Scanning the area for traps and that sort of thing, she swiftly picked up a wilted leaf to throw over the cliff and across the ravine.
Under normal circumstances, the distance between her side and the other would’ve been short enough to allow said leaf to fly across without hindrance considering the force she used in this case. However, right as the leaf reached the middle part of the ravine, something occurred. Without indication, the item just stopped and made a nose dive downwards, sinking straight into the dark bottomless abyss.
Making a grim face, Bai Yan now knew why she couldn’t find any specific trap or dangers here, the environment itself was the trap!
“It looks like this ravine has been enchanted to suck in whatever floats above it. If I had flown across using my own powers then it might’ve been myself who fell into that darkness.” Rubbing her chin in contemplation, the woman began to muse over the options here and what she could use.
Obviously making a bridge out of wood was out of the options here, there’s hardly any tree around to begin with, let alone find one big enough to construct something out of one.
“There must be something here that I can use, there’s no way the one who set this trap would leave without having a way to solve the issue. Think Bai Yan, your kids are still waiting for you to go back!” She mutters to herself like some sort of magical chant.
Huh?
From the corner of her eye, the glimmering sheen of the huge sword caught her attention. Immediately, an idea hit her brain like a tidal wave. The distance between this side and the other side wasn’t that far to begin with, and as it so happens, this giant sword was just long enough to make it across without the chance of tipping!
Really? This sword is the bridge? The one who set this up sure have a bad humor….
