Chapter 166 Exploration
At that moment, people could clearly see him clenching his teeth tightly, his facial muscles twitching slightly due to excessive force. All his strength seemed to be concentrated on his hands, trying to control his palms that were shaking uncontrollably.
At the same time, he opened his mouth wide, like a person desperate for oxygen, and took deep, deep gulps of the cool, fresh air. The coolness went straight down his throat into his body, as if it had turned into a clear spring, flowing through his internal organs.
He hoped to use this coolness to form a solid defense within him, to forcibly suppress the overwhelming, uncontrollable emotions that surged within him like a raging sea. Those emotions, like unbridled wild horses, ran rampant through his heart, leaving him almost unable to withstand the impact and pressure. Yet, despite the difficulty, he clenched his fists firmly, refusing to yield to these surging waves.
As the breath slowly sank into his dantian, it felt as if a clear spring trickled down from the peak of a mountain, gently moistening every dry corner of his body. He could clearly feel his restless heart, once as restless as a wild horse, gradually calming down, like the sea after a violent storm, slowly returning to a state of calm.
At this moment, Fang Congyi hesitated for a moment, as if he was still considering what to say next. Then, he slowly opened his lips, which had been closed for a long time, as if he had opened a door to a mysterious world. He opened his red lips slightly and spoke slowly in an unusually calm tone.
"Do you know why we are so suddenly and cluelessly trapped in this strange illusion that seems to be filled with the color of memories?"
"At that time, by chance, we stumbled upon something - the woman named Yao Yaoyao, also known as Bi Yaoyao in this environment, was actually hiding a mysterious scale under the scale she gave to her father, belonging to an unknown person."
Then, her movements gradually slowed, like a slow-motion scene, as she slowly, bit by bit, lowered her head. At the same time, those beautiful eyes, as if drawn by some mysterious force, gently closed. In that instant, it felt as if the entire world had stopped, as if time had frozen.
She stood there quietly, motionless, as if lost in a state of profound quiet contemplation. It felt as if she had completely absorbed herself into a secluded, tranquil space. In this space, free from the clamor of the outside world, free from the distractions of the mundane world, there was only a tranquility and peace that allowed the soul to rest.
All the noise and chaos around her seemed to have become a distant background noise at this moment, firmly blocked out by an invisible barrier. This barrier was invisible and intangible, but it existed in a very real way, guarding the peace and tranquility deep in her heart.
In this wonderful world completely dominated by her, Lu Yan slowly closed her eyes and immersed herself in the deep and boundless ocean in her heart. She began to carefully sort out the complex thoughts that were intertwined and entangled like a tangled thread in her mind.
Each thought is like a winding path. They may appear clearly in front of Lu Yan, leading her towards some unknown direction; or they may be hidden behind thick fog, appearing and disappearing from time to time, as if deliberately teasing her, making it difficult for her to grasp their true direction and end.
Some thoughts are like smooth, straight roads, with the end visible at a glance; however, many are like rugged mountain roads, full of bumps and thorns, requiring Lu Yan to expend considerable energy to navigate his way forward. These thoughts intertwine and entangle, forming an intricate mental map, waiting for Lu Yan to unravel the mysteries one by one.
Time slipped away like fine sand in an hourglass, bit by bit, and the air around him seemed to be affected by this slow flow of time, gradually tinged with a solemn color. It no longer flowed lightly as before, but instead seemed to solidify into a huge, crystal-clear piece of transparent amber, tightly enveloping Lu Yan.
In this suffocating silence, time seemed to have lost its meaning, frozen in a single moment, stagnant. After a long wait, after what felt like a century of torment, Lu Yan's heavy head, which had been bowed low, finally lifted upwards with an extremely slow and labored gesture. Every muscle movement seemed laborious, as if a thousand-pound weight were pressing down on his neck, making it difficult for him to move.
His eyes, already as deep as a bottomless pool and yet as bright as the stars in the night sky, now shone with a glimmer of light that only emerged after deep consideration. This light seemed to penetrate the thick fog and shine directly into the heart, making people want to explore the secrets and wisdom hidden within.
His pale lips trembled slightly, as if he were internally weighing every word before uttering it. Time passed, and the air around them seemed frozen. Only the slight tremor of his lips betrayed the tense and cautious atmosphere. Finally, after a long period of silence and contemplation, he slowly opened his long-closed mouth in an extremely slow yet steady tone, and spoke word by word: "..."
In my opinion, whether judging by its appearance or analyzing its texture details, the scale most likely belongs to a female water-eyed beast. This conclusion, however, comes only after careful observation and in-depth research.
The scales possessed a unique and captivating luster, seemingly imbued with boundless mystical power. Their shape resembled a meticulously carved piece of jade, its edges smooth and natural, flawless. The texture and detail were even more exquisite, a true masterpiece of nature's uncanny craftsmanship. Each line was clearly visible, interwoven into a beautiful and intricate pattern.
