Chapter 224 The Opened Door
The night passed quickly.
On the second day, before noon, the practitioners participating in the cross-border movement had already gathered in the conference room. Through conversations with each other, Li Yi also learned the names and identities of these people.
Xu Qiumei, a member of the Cross-Border Organization, was said to have been recommended by someone from the Golden Academy.
Qin Bing and Li Yi are foreign combat personnel of the Investigation Bureau. They were awarded cross-border quotas because of their great contributions. However, the two people are from different cities. Li Yi is a member of the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau, and the other is a member of the Tianshan City Investigation Bureau.
There is also a woman named Zhang Jing whose identity and background are unknown, but it is said that she spent a lot of money to buy a cross-border quota.
This surprised Li Yi. It turned out that the quota for cross-borderers could be bought. It seemed that capitalists were indispensable wherever they were. However, he was a little confused. Since he could buy the quota for cross-borderers, why should he join the first batch of cross-borderers? You know, the first batch of cross-borderers who explore a new world are the most risky.
The second and third batches of cross-border people are safe because they have the information support of the previous cross-border people, have a certain understanding of the new world, and feel more confident.
As for the last man, his name is Tao Yuan, and his identity is kept confidential. However, from his serious and upright attitude, it should not be difficult to tell that this Tao Yuan is definitely a master from the military.
There are five people in the group, including the team leader Zhang Xun, a total of six.
These are all the personnel involved in this cross-border operation.
However, when Li Yi was looking at others, they were also observing Li Yi.
"Compared with yesterday, Li Yi's aura seems to have become stronger, and he seems even more dangerous to me. He is really a freak. I can clearly feel his strength improvement in just one night. Last night, Xu Qiumei came to me and asked me to join forces with him to get rid of Li Yi. Now it seems that I was right to refuse." Qin Bing glanced at Li Yi and his heart sank.
He checked some information about Li Yi last night and was shocked because this person's cultivation speed was so fast that he could kill a master of spiritual perception after only a few months of practice.
Xu Qiumei's face was still gloomy at this moment. She was in a bad mood because she did not succeed in finding an ally, which meant that her cross-border operation this time would not go smoothly.
Now she regrets it a little.
If she had not stood up and fought Li Yi before, there might have been a chance that the situation would have been alleviated. But now, even sitting here, she could feel the hostility coming from Li Yi like a thorn in her back. No, to be more precise, it was murderous intent.
How many people has this guy killed recently? Why is there such a strong murderous aura around him?
In fact, Xu Qiumei was not from the cultivation circle in Tianchang City, otherwise she would know how dangerous Li Yi was. Even Gu Mengping, who had broken through to the soul realm, did not dare to show up to compete with Li Yi for a quota. He only dared to put pressure on the Investigation Bureau in order to avoid the terrifying mother behind Li Yi.
After waiting for two hours, it was almost noon when the team leader Zhang Xun walked into the meeting room. He said directly: "The cross-border meeting will start soon. Pack up your things and follow me. Remember, don't bring your cell phone, computer, or other things that store important information, otherwise they will be confiscated later."
Everyone knows this information because it is written in the Cross-Border Handbook.
The purpose of this is to ensure that the information of the earth is not leaked to other worlds. Because you can cross the border and the other party can also cross the border. In order not to provoke enemies for the earth, all important information cannot be exposed.
"Okay, follow me," Zhang Xun said and left the meeting room again.
Everyone followed without saying a word.
Zhang Xun took them into an elevator in the building, and then took the elevator all the way down to the depths of the underground, descending to a depth of at least six or seven floors. As the elevator door opened, a scorching breath hit their faces. Just taking a breath made them feel as if their nasal cavity was burned, and they felt an indescribable discomfort.
Moreover, in the medium's sight, everything was red, as if he had entered a huge oven.
"What a terrifying cosmic energy, it is so dense that it can affect reality. However, this burning sensation is not real. It's because the energy is too dense. The cells cannot withstand such strong energy erosion and are destroyed and killed, so there is a burning sensation." Qin Bing's eyes narrowed in shock.
“In this kind of energy field, even practitioners at the spiritual perception realm cannot stay for long, otherwise their cells will collapse and die, just like they were exposed to severe radiation.” The woman named Zhang Jing said calmly.
"Is this the energy field of a top-level magical object? It's so terrifying that it can be seen with the naked eye." Li Yi also looked astonished.
The energy field of the knife coin is nothing compared to this. The previous bone mural is also not qualified to be compared with this. No wonder such a top-level rare item needs to be recovered and even a war is launched for it. If this thing is not recovered and just left in one place, it will be a disaster.
"Crossing the boundaries requires a huge energy field to distort time and space and open the wormhole door, and this requires a complete strange object as an energy source to operate the cross-boundary machine." Zhang Xun explained calmly: "The strange object placed here is called the Luanfeng Feather, which is the feather of the Luanfeng in mythology and legends."
Then he pointed.
However, in the glass cover of a machine not far away, a special feather was quietly floating in it. The feather was not the animal feather as people knew it, but a feather shape condensed from pure energy, emitting dazzling and bright light, like an artificial little sun, lasting for a long time.
The crimson energy field that burned everyone just now was just the light emitted by that feather.
It is difficult to estimate how much amazing energy is contained in that feather, and how terrifying a creature with such feathers is.
Li Yi could even imagine that a phoenix with dazzling feathers simply appeared in the sky above the city and flapped its wings. The energy storm that erupted would be enough to destroy the city and turn everything into scorched earth. No living creature could withstand such an energy baptism.
And all this was not even intentional, just the fluttering of wings caused such great damage, just like when a person steps on the ground, an ant suffers a devastating blow.
This is the difference in the levels of life, which can no longer be described by the word gap.
After realizing this, Li Yi fell silent. He now understood why many people were eager to cross borders.
The earth is too dangerous. The lower-level practitioners don't know this information, so they can still be ignorant and fearless, but the upper-level practitioners know it clearly, otherwise they would not launch the cross-border plan to seek a new place to live.
Li Yi was very glad that he made this trip. He saw a real corner of this world and gained a clear understanding of his own insignificance.
"The gate to the cross-border will open in ten minutes. Before that, everyone will have a luggage bag containing some necessary equipment and an instruction manual. If you don't understand something, you can read it when you have time after the cross-border," Zhang Xun said.
At this time, a worker in work clothes wearing heavy protective clothing came over and handed each person a handbag.
After receiving it, everyone did not open it to look at it, but held it in their hands and then waited quietly.
During these few minutes, everyone was somewhat overwhelmed by the burning of the terrible energy emanating from that strange object, the Feather of the Luanfeng. No wonder the staff here, who are all practitioners, have to wear protective clothing. It is okay to be exposed to the energy field for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, the body will definitely collapse.
However, the captain Zhang Xun stood there motionless as if nothing had happened.
Obviously, his body has evolved to withstand this level of energy erosion. After all, he is a strong man in the soul realm, so his advantage is still obvious.
Li Yi didn't feel uncomfortable. He was wearing clothes made of Qionglong skin, which had a certain degree of protection. He didn't feel very uncomfortable, but his eyes felt like they were burned and almost blinded.
Fortunately, ten minutes is not a long time.
"The time has come, everything is ready, start the machine."
"The machine has started and is absorbing cosmic energy."
"Energy is charging, one percent, five percent, twelve percent."
As the machine was running, the cosmic energy emanating from the vicinity of the strange object was being absorbed in large quantities. The burning sensation around it was disappearing rapidly, and even a cool feeling could be felt.
All these disappeared energies have gathered in one place, trying to open the door to cross-border.
"Fifty percent, eighty percent, one hundred percent, the energy is fully charged."
"Open the wormhole, determine the coordinates, and prepare to connect to the unknown world codenamed 36."
Followed by the sound of broadcasts.
The next moment, a terrifying energy wave suddenly came from the front of Li Yi and others, and then the space in front of them seemed to be torn apart, and a huge gap appeared. Then the gap continued to grow and twist, and finally formed a gate in its original shape.
And as time passed, the other end of the gate vaguely revealed the scenery and outline of another world.
Although it is not clear, you can tell that there are mountains in the distance, rivers nearby, and lush greenery nearby. It is obviously a world suitable for survival, not a world of death.
It is just the tip of the iceberg and the information revealed is not much. Due to the strong energy interference, it is impossible to send any machine to explore. The only way is for practitioners to enter that world and explore.
"Connection completed, the cross-border gate has been opened. Zhang Xun team, prepare to set off. The gate will only be open for thirty seconds, please hurry."
The broadcast continued.
The energy consumption to open the cross-border gate is terrifying. Even the feather of the phoenix in mythology can only provide energy for thirty seconds. After this time, the energy of this rare object will be sucked dry, damaged, and finally completely useless. Therefore, in order to protect the rare object, it is used many times. The time for opening the cross-border gate each time is very short, and the number of cross-border times is also limited.
Of course, if there are multiple complete rare objects providing energy, the cross-border door can be opened for a longer time.
"Action." Zhang Xun acted without hesitation and rushed into the cross-border door at an extremely fast speed.
The others set off immediately without hesitation.
They were also very fast. For a practitioner in the Spiritual Perception Realm, it did not take thirty seconds at all to cross the boundary; only ten seconds would be enough.
soon.
Everyone disappeared from the spot, left this world, entered the cross-border gate, and headed to an unknown and unfamiliar world.
"The cross-border team has all left. Cut off the energy supply immediately and close the cross-border gate to prevent counter-invasion."
The broadcast sounded, and as the machine stopped working, the portal connecting to the other world twisted and finally disappeared.
The phoenix feather has also become much dimmer at this moment, and the energy field it emits has also become softer, not as hot as before. It can be seen that the loss of a cross-border operation is very huge, and it is precisely because of this that every cross-border opportunity is very precious.
Fortunately, this cross-border operation went smoothly and no accidents occurred.
At least that's the case here.
