Chapter 175 – The World Inside the Spatial Gap

Su Lifeng found what he heard somewhat baffling, but a trace of wariness also rose in his heart. Sure enough, she had plans for him…

“What will that Xenospecies do?” Su Lifeng wondered at the same time.

After discovering that it could not catch up to Su Lifeng and Liu Yue for the moment, the enormous Shadowy Figure suddenly let out an angry roar. Its mouth abruptly opened, and several long things like intestines swept toward them.

When Su Lifeng glanced back, he felt a chill shoot from the base of his spine to the top of his head. These “intestines” looked very much like some kind of cnidarian organism. Who knew where it had absorbed those genes from? But compared to ordinary cnidarians, this thing was far too absurdly large!

Each one was as thick as an adult’s thigh!

If they were caught by those “intestines,” there was no need to think about the result. They would definitely be swallowed in one gulp.

“Keep running. Don’t worry about it,” Liu Yue said.

“Are you kidding…” Su Lifeng was just about to say that their running speed definitely could not outrun those “intestines,” when he suddenly saw Liu Yue fall two steps behind.

“Trying to die?” Su Lifeng froze.

At that moment, one “intestine” was already whistling toward Liu Yue. Seeing Su Lifeng look back at her, Liu Yue smiled faintly and suddenly asked, “Are you afraid of heights?”

“Huh?” In this situation, that question was far too abrupt.

Before Su Lifeng could decide how to answer, he heard a bang. The “intestine” struck Liu Yue.

But the imagined scene of blood and flesh splattering and her body falling apart did not appear. Instead, Liu Yue flew into Su Lifeng like a cannonball, opened her arms, and hugged him. “Remember to flap your wings hard, okay…”

Okay, my ass!

Su Lifeng watched helplessly as Liu Yue slammed him backward together with her. His Bone Wings immediately smashed against the thick floor-to-ceiling window. With a muffled impact, the next instant, he felt his whole body hanging in midair. The exterior wall of the building, along with the large hole he had knocked through it, appeared before his eyes.

That “intestine” was still chasing them out. Its enormous mouthparts opened, no more than half a meter away from them.

But in the end, the mouthparts still failed to touch them. An unwilling roar came from inside the building.

Only then did Su Lifeng finally react. “What the hell?!”

She had brought him along to jump off the building!

“Hahahaha…” Liu Yue seemed to be laughing as she held Su Lifeng very tightly.

Su Lifeng, however, was in no mood to appreciate the softness pressed against his chest. He instinctively lowered his head and was somewhat horrified to discover that Liu Yue was completely unharmed! Even though he had only been affected by the impact just now, he still felt as if all his internal organs had been knocked out of place. But Liu Yue had taken it head-on and was completely fine?

At the same time, he also felt that Liu Yue must have blocked most of the force for him. Otherwise, it would not be a matter of feeling displaced. His organs really would have shifted…

In addition, although he had not been mentally prepared, the height of two floors was actually only a little over ten meters. Su Lifeng beat his Bone Wings hard twice, and they did indeed provide some cushioning.

“Bang!”

After landing, Su Lifeng immediately pushed Liu Yue away and raised his head to look upward.

“Why are you so heartless?” Liu Yue muttered, then said, “Don’t worry. It won’t chase us out. It knows we’ll go back in. Let’s go. Hurry.”

Sure enough, the “intestine” had already disappeared from the floor-to-ceiling window. Su Lifeng shifted his gaze away and looked left and right. A strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart… Although nothing appeared different on the surface, this street really did seem different somehow…

“Hurry.” Before he could think it through, Liu Yue had already grabbed him and charged back into the building.

Once inside, she did not rush upstairs. Instead, she brought Su Lifeng all the way toward the elevator.

“What are you doing? This thing stopped working ages ago, right?” Su Lifeng said.

“Jump down,” Liu Yue said.

“Jump again?” Su Lifeng had just started to object when Liu Yue hugged him again, and the two of them jumped into the elevator shaft together.

The furious roar of that Shadowy Figure came from upstairs. It seemed to have chased them down too.

Su Lifeng originally thought the two of them would definitely fall all the way to the bottom. Unexpectedly, after dropping only two or three meters, he felt himself land on sand and gravel.

“What is this?” Su Lifeng stood up and at the same time discovered that the surrounding walls had disappeared too.

He raised his head to look at the elevator shaft and found that what should originally have been a straight vertical shaft now looked like a well opening. Below the well opening was a ground made of sand and gravel.

In addition, dunes made of sand and gravel could be seen everywhere. From time to time, the sound of moaning wind blew past, stirring up bursts of black sand and dust.

This definitely was not the basement level of the building…

The basement level of an ordinary building was usually a parking garage. Even if it was not, it would never be such a desolate place.

And after arriving here, Su Lifeng suddenly discovered that Liu Yue’s eyes seemed to be glowing. Her whole body also seemed to have become slightly blurry, as if light were shining out from inside her body.

“What kind of creature are you exactly? What is this place?” Su Lifeng asked.

He had also suddenly realized why that street had given him such an uncomfortable feeling. The street had likewise been empty, abnormally quiet… With the commotion they had just made, plenty of Xenospecies should have been drawn out long ago.

From Liu Yue… no, from the moment that energy storm swept through, this area seemed to have only him, Liu Yue, that above E-class Xenospecies, and that vanished male Xenospecies left.

On the entire street, in the entire building, there were only them. And the strangest among them was Liu Yue, who claimed to be his classmate.

“You don’t have to look at me like that. I really do count as your classmate. I have all the memories of attending the same school as you,” Liu Yue said. “If there is anything else, we can talk later. We have to find that Xenospecies first. He definitely knows that this place is the true ‘doorway,’ so he came running here.”

As Liu Yue spoke, she led Su Lifeng into the clusters of dunes.

Su Lifeng looked left and right. These dunes looked naturally formed, but could Earth’s natural environment create this kind of terrain? For some reason, Su Lifeng suddenly thought of a place. That place seemed very similar to here…

The island inside the Spatial Rift!

“This isn’t Earth,” Su Lifeng suddenly said.

Liu Yue turned her head to glance at him and smiled. “Very sharp. More precisely, this should be called a Spatial Gap. This place can be considered the most stable point, while the building above is unstable. The energy fluctuations we create here will also reflect on the outside…”

Naturally, Su Lifeng did not know that when he split open the changing room door, Wang Chuan, who was hiding inside, had nearly been scared half to death.

Just when everything returned to calm and he thought he had escaped disaster, a sudden immense force crushed him flat in an instant…

Until his death, he never knew that what accidentally killed him was an E-class Xenospecies attacking wildly inside the Spatial Gap… It was only that he was hiding there and saw nothing.
