Chapter 5306: The river of certain death

However, health-maintenance Fei was completely unaware of this. Instead, he looked at the river of consciousness in front of him and said excitedly,”This is the river of consciousness, right? That’s great, it’s said that there’s a treasure in the river. Martial uncle Bing, should we go into the river to look for it?”
“If you’re not afraid of death, you can go.” Bing Wuqing glanced at him speechlessly. The ignorant truly had no fear. The river of consciousness was so dangerous that even a peak golden core expert like Xue Jianfeng was scared out of his wits, and the Almighty Lin Yi was buried with Duanmu Yu in the river. If a piece of trash like Fei liangwei dared to enter the river, he would definitely die a miserable death.
“Uh …” Health-maintenance Fei had been eager to put his foot down, but when he heard Bing Wuqing’s tone, he quickly pulled his foot back. He was ignorant, but he wasn’t a fool.
Bing Wuqing couldn’t be bothered with him. Since he had already gotten the spiritual awareness grass, he had already completed his mission. Without any hesitation, she turned around and left.
“S-martial uncle Bing, wait for me!” Fei Yangsheng looked at the river of consciousness unwillingly, but in the end, he quickly followed Bing Wuqing. Although tempering one’s consciousness was tempting, it was not worth mentioning compared to his life. Greed could kill one in such a place.
The people on the riverbank left one after another. Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu, who had been swept into the river of consciousness, didn’t die on the spot as they had expected, but their situation wasn’t any better.
The river of consciousness wasn’t muddy at all, it was quite clear, and the bottom could be seen at a glance, but after the two were swept in by the wave, all they could see was darkness, not a single ray of light.
This was not all. The most important thing was that the suction force of the river water was extremely strong. It was like a bottomless Whirlpool. Even with Duanmu Yu’s strength, he was unable to struggle in the slightest. No matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. He could only feel his body rapidly sinking, and he was unable to reach the bottom of the river for a long time.
As for the already weak Lin Yi, he didn’t even have the strength to struggle now. Although he could escape by turning into his soul form, the risk was too high. Based on his intuition, there was at least a 50% chance of his soul being destroyed.
Besides, Duanmu Yu was here too. Even if he could escape, Lin Yi wouldn’t just leave Duanmu Yu alone.
Lin Yi subconsciously hugged Duanmu Yu even tighter-this was a life and death situation, and there was no such thing as love between men and women. The only thing he could think of was that they couldn’t be separated, or he’d be screwed.
Duanmu Yu had the same thought. Her survival instinct urged her to turn around and hug Lin Yi tightly. She didn’t know what the situation was, but just like how Lin Yi was able to help her break the water lotus Protector’s illusion last time, if there was a chance of survival this time, it was Lin Yi who could help her escape death.
Lin Yi’s position in Duanmu Yu’s heart had become so reliable without her even realizing it. If it weren’t for the fact that they were in a life and death situation, she wouldn’t have imagined it herself.
At a time like this, both Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu didn’t have the slightest bit of sexual thoughts. They were both trying their best to sense their surroundings. It didn’t matter if there was no light-they could still use their spirit sense to see things. No matter how much they could sense, even if it was just a little bit, the more they understood, the higher their chances of escaping.
However, due to the strong suction of the river, the two of them could only sense a limited number of things. They could only sense the endless darkness and the cold river water.
After a long time, the powerful suction that had been pulling the two of them suddenly disappeared, but to their surprise, the two of them did not sink to the bottom. Even the river became extremely abnormal. They could not feel any buoyancy at all, and they could even breathe freely in the water as if they had entered an indescribable void.
“This place seems to be an illusion.” Lin Yi said, deep in thought. He wasn’t completely sure, but this place did give him a hallucinatory feeling. It was different from the Lotus Protector’s illusion, though. This place felt like a strange space that was both real and illusionary at the same time. The weirdest thing was that he didn’t feel any buoyancy, but the two of them were floating as if they were in outer space, free from gravity.
Duanmu Yu, on the other hand, was so shocked that she even forgot to push Lin Yi away. “We’re finished, we can’t go back. ”
“Why can’t I go back?” Lin Yi blinked. They’d just been sucked into this strange space, and hadn’t even had the time to explore it. How could they just jump to conclusions so easily and give him the death sentence? Duanmu Yu wasn’t someone who would give up so easily.
“Before I came out, my master had specifically warned me that no matter what happens, I must not fall into the river of consciousness. In history, no one who fell into the river has ever come out alive, they will die without a doubt.” Duanmu Yu said with a bitter smile.
“Really?” Lin Yi was moved.
“I was also suspicious about this before, but since the spirit sense grass is real and what happened just now is also true, there’s nothing to doubt. We have to believe it, we are indeed trapped here.” Duanmu Yu let out a long breath and said.
This was completely different from when he was trapped in the mirror world. At least he knew that it was the work of the water lotus Protector. As long as he could find the body of the water lotus Protector, the problem would be solved. But now, he was trapped in the river of consciousness. It was not man-made, but a fantasy of nature. Unless it had an exit, there was no way to break out.
If there was really an exit in this place, a few of the people who had fallen in earlier would have been able to escape. It was unlikely that none of them would have been able to come out. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a disaster.
“That’s not for sure. Don’t be discouraged. Let’s explore this place first. We’ll think of a way after we’ve figured it out.” Lin Yi wasn’t too worried about himself-the worst case scenario for him was ending the soul projection at the last minute. Since he could still clearly feel the connection with his body, he believed that even the environment wouldn’t be able to stop him from returning to Tianjie Island.
But Duanmu Yu couldn ‘t-if Lin Yi went back to Sky Class Island, she’d be dead for sure if she was left alone.
“Then … Let’s see?” Duanmu Yu finally regained his calm. The main reason why she had lost her composure earlier was because she had been frightened by that rumor. After she had reacted, even if she had truly fallen into a desperate situation, she would not have panicked.
