Chapter 223: The Void Blood Bat
Chapter 223: The Void Blood Bat
After teasing Li Suokuan with information about the Blaze Sky Seat, Li Qian decided to drop the topic and instead, took in his surroundings with curiosity.
This was his first time entering a spatial rift, and everything he saw and heard felt novel.
The scene within the spatial rift was somewhat beyond his expectations.
It wasn't the pitch-black void he had imagined.
Light existed within the rift, sometimes dim, sometimes hazy, and sometimes swirling, appearing rather mysterious.
Li Qian observed everything carefully, and then he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this higher-dimensional space?"
"No!"
Li Suokuan smiled and turned to Li Qian, "We are indeed inside a spatial rift, but this is not higher-dimensional space."
"This is just the interior of an ordinary spatial rift."
"That's where the higher-dimensional space is."
Li Suokuan continued his explanation while pointing upwards.
Above them, a silvery-white butterfly changed its posture.
Its appearance remained the same, but its size underwent a drastic transformation.
The silvery-white butterfly, which had been the size of a small ball, now had a single wing that seemed to exceed a hundred meters in length.
In terms of size, it was several times larger than Xiao Hui.
At this moment, the enormous, majestic, and awe-inspiring butterfly flapped its wings, showering them with radiance.
Both Li Qian and Xiao Hui, as well as Li Suokuan, were enveloped by the radiance.
Through the gaps in the giant butterfly's wings, Li Qian saw an even more magnificent sight.
In the dark and chaotic void, countless points of light, large and small, bright and dim, in various colors, floated and swirled, resembling a... dazzling starry sky.
Li Qian was so captivated by this wondrous and ethereal scene that he couldn't help but stare in awe.
"This higher-dimensional space seems like..." he muttered to himself involuntarily.
"It's like a starry sky, isn't it?" Li Suokuan seemed to have seen through Li Qian's thoughts and smiled as he spoke.
"Yes, it does resemble a starry sky," Li Qian agreed, nodding his head.
Upon hearing this, Li Suokuan's smile became even more evident, "Then how can you be sure that the starry sky we see isn't another higher-dimensional space?"
"This..." Li Suokuan's words resonated like a bell in Li Qian's mind.
Could the starry sky we see be another higher-dimensional space?
Li Qian fell into deep thought, but he didn't voice his question.
Li Suokuan didn't seem inclined to continue the conversation.
After uttering an incomplete sentence, he waved his hand lightly.
As he did so, the giant silvery-white butterfly suddenly flapped its wings, showering them with more radiance, and enveloped Xiao Hui, Li Qian, and Li Suokuan, swiftly ascending.
The two humans and the beast rose at an incredible speed within the radiance, almost reaching the sky above in the blink of an eye.
Before Li Qian could react, the three of them had already leaped in front of a silvery-white point of light.
"Hmph, what a bunch of annoying pests!" After leaping in front of the silvery-white light, Li Suokuan didn't take immediate action.
He sensed the surroundings and then coldly snorted, his eyes turning icy.
Before Li Qian could react, Li Suokuan waved his hand again, "A Die, clean up this trash."
As Li Suokuan's command was issued, the giant butterfly in mid-air immediately sprang into action.
Its wings suddenly flapped, creating a crescent-shaped semi-transparent blade that took the form of a curved sword.
The curved sword-like blade darted towards a specific area in the higher-dimensional space with lightning speed.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The curved blade swept through that area.
In that area, the sound of two blades piercing flesh could be heard.
Immediately after, two blood blooms suddenly burst open, appearing in that void.
Li Qian witnessed the sudden explosion of the two blood blooms, and his eyes narrowed in surprise.
Were these the "pests" Li Suokuan mentioned?
In the higher-dimensional space, why would such a creature appear?
Are they companion beasts as well? As this bizarre scene unfolded, various thoughts, speculations, and questions flooded Li Qian's mind in an instant.
"Let's go." After casually striking down two unknown companion beasts hiding in the higher-dimensional space, Li Suokuan immediately restrained the fierce aura around him, and his tone became gentle again."
Li Qian hesitated for a moment, and then decided not to ask any questions.
Li Qian was well aware that Li Suokuan's actions today had only revealed a small part of this mysterious world to him.
The secrets hidden within were of no benefit to him, even if he were to learn of them.
So, he restrained his curiosity and remained silent.
Moreover, Li Qian knew that if Li Suokuan wanted him to know the truth, he would have brought it up himself.
Since he hadn't mentioned it, it meant that for Li Qian, it was better not to know.
As Li Suokuan's words fell, the giant silvery-white butterfly suddenly flapped its wings vigorously.
Simultaneously, the silvery-white radiance began to gather, and in the blink of an eye, another dark spatial rift appeared before Li Qian.
Li Suokuan cleared the way ahead, and Li Qian instantly understood his intention.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the spatial rift that had appeared again.
As Li Qian entered the rift, his figure suddenly vanished.
After Li Qian left, Li Suokuan abruptly turned around and took a deep look in the direction where the blood bloom had exploded not far away.
Gazing at the blood bloom and smelling the faint scent of blood in the air, Li Suokuan's eyebrows furrowed, and deep concern appeared in his eyes.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Suokuan didn't hesitate and waved his hand lightly.
The giant silvery-white butterfly instantly shrank, becoming the size of a fist, and gently landed on Li Suokuan's shoulder.
After doing so, he strode forward and also entered the spatial rift.
In the blink of an eye, Li Qian had returned to the present world, and the scene before him reverted to a familiar sight.
This was an office, quite spacious, with a desk positioned in the center, and on it, a steaming enamel teacup in the right-hand corner, indicating that the owner had not been gone for long.
"How is my office?" Li Suokuan's voice sounded behind Li Qian.
Li Qian didn't turn around but nodded, "It's great and spacious."
"Senior Li, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Li Qian spoke as if nothing had happened and prepared to leave.
Upon hearing this, Li Suokuan's eyes showed even more appreciation.
His ability to advance and retreat with grace, knowing what to ask and what not to ask, was rare for someone of his age.
In fact, there were some things that could be told to Li Qian, but since he chose to remain silent, Li Suokuan naturally wouldn't bring them up.
Li Suokuan nodded. As Li Qian took a step forward, ready to leave the office, he suddenly spoke, offering a reminder, "Those are Void Blood Bats. In the future, if you encounter them, be extra cautious. They aren't individually strong, but they often appear in large groups."
"Thank you!" Li Qian paused for a moment after hearing this, and without turning around, he left with a final word and pushed open the office door.
After opening the door, he was stunned to find three different crossroads outside. Which way should he go?
Fortunately, the voice from behind sounded again, relieving his embarrassment, "After you exit, turn right."
Li Qian stumbled for a moment and then immediately headed to the right.
His departure was graceful, but he had forgotten to ask for directions in advance.
