Chapter 476: The Eternal Secret Garden
Buzz——!
The low rumble of the engine roared like a giant beast, and the rapidly spinning tires kicked up large clouds of yellow sand. The black off-road vehicle streaked across the desolate land like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the abandoned factory standing in the wilderness.
Jiang Liu gripped the steering wheel, squinting at the open factory gates not far ahead, his right hand quickly shifting gears.
The tires screeched against the uneven ground, producing a piercing buzz as the off-road vehicle drifted through the factory entrance, coming to a steady stop beneath the old steps.
Dust swirled around.
In the instant the vehicle halted, six dark red figures floated out from within, piercing through the dissipating dust, their blades flashing through the air!
Clang——!
The sound of unsheathing straight blades echoed in the air.
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow upon seeing these individuals act so decisively.
The blade light whistled as it slashed toward the group. Amidst the swirling yellow sand, five figures wearing Journey to the West masks sat motionless on the steps, their expressions unreadable, like sculptures, quietly watching the blades approach them!
“Fatty.” Lin Qiye spoke calmly from beneath the Sun Wukong mask.
“Chaos of the Universe!”
A massive Taiji Bagua diagram unfolded beneath Bai Li Fatty’s feet, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield. The two trigrams of Qian and Kun shifted out of alignment, and the power of the laws was directly reversed.
All weapons were rendered useless!
The five straight blades that were about to strike Lin Qiye and the others suddenly trembled, breaking free from their wielders’ control, spinning toward the center of the Taiji Bagua diagram where Bai Li Fatty stood. Along with them, two pitch-black Uzi submachine guns were also disarmed.
Swish, swish, swish——!!
The five blades plunged into the steps beneath Bai Li Fatty, vibrating slightly and emitting a sharp buzz.
Seeing their weapons instantly confiscated by the man wearing the Zhu Bajie mask, the members of Team 009 were shaken to their core. They hadn’t even seen what had happened; all they noticed was a flash of black and white light, and their hands were already empty.
However, they were seasoned Night Watchmen, and even without their weapons, they maintained their composure, quickly forming a formation resembling a sharp cone.
The leader, with a single eyebrow, radiated a gray light, forming a thin layer of armor. Her right hand twisted and transformed into a two-meter-long halberd.
She stomped heavily on the ground, like an unstoppable ferocious beast, charging toward Lin Qiye and the others.
At the same time, Jiang Liu, standing at the back of the line, waved his hand, and the black off-road vehicle behind him suddenly exploded. Thumb-sized mechanical missiles spewed forth, releasing a massive amount of steam, resembling a huge white barrage, surging forward.
Lin Qiye sat firmly on the steps like a rock, his eyes slightly narrowed. “Qingyu, Jialan.”
The figure wearing the Tang Seng mask slowly raised a hand, and a pale hand gently clenched in the air, causing the ground beneath Team 009 to tremble violently.
Boom——!!
A multitude of icy vines erupted from the muddy ground, like tentacles, slapping at the mechanical barrage rushing through the air. The white cold air churned in the atmosphere, and all the mechanical missiles that were about to touch the vines instantly froze, even the ends spewing steam were sealed off, losing their ability to detonate.
These missiles lightly struck the vines, producing a tinkling sound before helplessly falling to the ground.
Smash!
Jialan, dressed in a deep blue Han robe, stomped on the steps, shattering the stone, and launched herself like a cannonball toward the speeding single-eyebrow figure!
The single-eyebrow figure, clad in gray armor and wielding the halberd, narrowed her eyes, increasing her speed. The two figures collided without any flourish, and in the next moment, the single-eyebrow figure was sent flying backward like lightning!
Seeing their fierce deputy captain being knocked back over twenty meters by the figure wearing the Red Boy mask, the other members of Team 009 were filled with disbelief.
What kind of person could send their fully committed deputy captain flying?
Is that guy even human?!
After knocking the single-eyebrow figure away, Jialan showed no signs of stopping, her toes barely touching the ground as she charged at the single-eyebrow figure again, barehanded.
As the others turned to help the single-eyebrow figure, the sky above visibly darkened, as if night had fallen.
A figure wearing the Sun Wukong mask materialized from the darkness like a ghost, blocking their path.
“Sorry, you can’t go anywhere.”
Lin Qiye extended his hand, a faint blue light blossoming from his fingertips.
“[Eternal Secret Garden].”
The moment those words were spoken, lush green grass spread out from beneath Lin Qiye’s feet, like a wildfire, rapidly covering the ground beneath the others.
With the night overhead and green grass underfoot, this strange contrast caused the other five members of Team 009 to feel an inexplicable sense of dread. Their instincts honed from years of battle warned them to leave this place, but just as they attempted to move, buds began to bloom in the green grass beneath their feet.
Crimson, pale yellow, deep purple… flowers of various colors and sizes appeared, and even the smallest bud was as large as a basketball.
In the center of this verdant expanse, a snow-white flower slowly bloomed, and from within the bud, a phantom girl dressed in a white gown and barefoot floated out. Her features were obscured in the hazy light, making it impossible to discern her appearance.
A strange fragrance wafted through the air!
The phantom girl extended her hand, placing her index finger gently on her lips, signaling the few standing in the sea of flowers to be silent.
In the next moment, their feet felt as if they were rooted in the green grass, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t move an inch. Their muscles began to stiffen.
What followed sent chills down their spines.
They watched in horror as several buds bizarrely emerged from the surface of their skin, spreading like a tide, multiplying rapidly… within ten seconds, nearly every inch of their skin was covered.
The buds absorbed their mental energy, slowly blooming into vibrant colors!
Their consciousness rapidly blurred, as if they had lost all strength, and they weakly knelt among the flowers, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Their bodies were gradually being integrated into this garden…
Those who step into the garden shall sleep among the myriad flowers, their souls returning to the earth, their bodies turning to dust, merging with the secrets of this place, becoming eternal.
This was the second ability Lin Qiye extracted from Braki and Eden,
[Eternal Secret Garden].
