Chapter 447: The door is open

Liang Yu carefully scanned his surroundings, once again confirming that he was completely normal.

The silence around him was eerily unsettling, with only the steady echo of his own breathing in the air.

Then, with a determined gaze, he firmly gripped the Bronze Lantern with both hands.

Liang Yu activated the lantern, and the black flame on it instantly flared to life, emitting a cold, black glow that enveloped the tightly shut door in front of him.

This black light, reflected on the door, seemed to be charging it.

Liang Yu increased the output of the Bronze Lantern’s black light, making the lantern’s glow grow stronger and continuously charge the door.

Finally, with a dull rumble, the door slowly opened.

As the giant door, over ten meters high, opened, time itself seemed to pause.

The originally massive door panels vanished without a trace, leaving only an empty frame, like a void leading to the unknown.

Just as Liang Yu was astonished, something unusual slowly appeared within the door frame.

At first, it was just a faint, almost imperceptible surge of air, followed by a vortex gradually forming.

The vortex spun faster and faster, frantically drawing in the surrounding air, emitting a low whistling sound, as if it were a call from another world.

The vortex was a deep, ethereal blue, its light flickering, seemingly exuding endless mysterious power.

As the vortex rotated, the surrounding light also distorted, creating strange, dreamlike light and shadow effects.

Something is wrong!

Something is very, very wrong!!!

He stood quietly before the large door, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Threads of memory slowly pulled, and he vaguely recalled that when Ju Ru emerged from it, this door was not like this.

But now, having gone through so much trouble to open the door, the sight before him left him utterly shocked.

Inside the door was a deep blue vortex, a vortex that seemed poised to devour everything.

This made him seriously doubt whether the door in front of him was legitimate, and where the passage he had opened actually led.

Just then, a vine, like a spiritual snake, suddenly extended from within the opened door.

The vine’s color was incredibly bizarre, a deep and enchanting purplish-black all over, with a faint, eerie glow subtly emanating from its surface, as if hinting at hidden danger.

Liang Yu’s gaze was instantly drawn to it, his pupils contracting sharply.

Just by looking at the vine’s color, he knew that he absolutely could not be touched by this thing; it was clearly highly poisonous, possibly the kind that kills on contact.

If it was instantly fatal, even a medical kit might not be enough to save him.

So he instinctively took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on the restless vine.

The vine twisted gently in the air, seemingly sensing its surroundings, searching for a target to attack.

Liang Yu’s brows furrowed, his mind racing, contemplating a countermeasure.

He was ready to respond to any potential attack the vine might launch.

Just as he was fully concentrated, the vine suddenly accelerated towards him, moving at astonishing speed.

Liang Yu swiftly dodged, narrowly avoiding the strike.

As this vine turned to attack again, Liang Yu quickly lit the Bronze Lantern.

In an instant, a cold, black light emanated from the lantern, flowing like a tangible substance, evenly illuminating the vine.

The vine, originally baring its fangs and claws with aggressive momentum, suddenly froze in its movements after being enveloped by the black light, as if it had received some mysterious command.

Immediately after, it slowly, incredibly, ceased its attack, like a tamed beast, obediently beginning to retreat.

The black light seemed to possess an invisible magic, continuously extending and covering the vine as it receded.

Under the illumination of the black light, the vine’s rough outer skin appeared even more eerie.

Liang Yu gripped the Bronze Lantern tightly, his gaze fixed on the vine, not daring to relax for a moment.

Soon, the vine retracted back into the door, which made Liang Yu look at the Bronze Lantern with renewed appreciation.

So Liang Yu, holding the black-glowing Bronze Lantern, slowly ventured into the door.

Stepping through the door, a familiar sensation washed over him like a tide, identical to when he teleported.

That strange, ineffable power tugged at his senses, as if the entire world was twisting and shifting.

He frowned slightly, his gaze cautiously sweeping his surroundings. The air itself seemed to carry a mysterious aura, and the scenery around him gradually blurred, then became clear again moments later.

He was certain he had been teleported to an unknown place.

The ground beneath his feet was no longer the solid stone slab from before entering the door, but soft sand that sank slightly, leaving clear footprints with every step.

In the distance, a thin mist hung, obscuring his vision, making it impossible to discern what lay ahead.

Looking up, the sky displayed a strange color, not the usual clear blue, but a deep purple, as if stained by mysterious pigments.

The silence around him was eerily unsettling, with only the gentle breeze rustling the fine sand on the surface of the ground, making a soft shushing sound, as if this unknown place was whispering its secrets.

Liang Yu, holding the black-glowing Bronze Lantern, walked around the vicinity and confirmed that he had been teleported to some unknown coastline.

He confirmed that his teleportation ability was still usable and had not been restricted after being teleported, which was one of the few pieces of good news.

At least he could use teleportation to return.

Because he discovered something: there were no clues of a portal or entrance nearby.

In other words, after he entered that door, he was directly teleported to an unknown location, and the teleportation was one-way; he would have to find his own way back.

It was fortunate that it was Liang Yu. He had his own teleportation ability to travel back and forth freely; otherwise, he truly wouldn’t know what to do.

Upon arriving in this strange place, the most important thing, first and foremost, was to ensure his safety and then figure out where he was.

Only by understanding the general information clearly could he make subsequent plans.

He had just thoroughly searched the vicinity, and everything he saw was dead silent.

Forget human traces; he hadn’t even seen the shadow of a monster.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the gentle sound of the wind and the crashing waves, as if whispering unknown secrets.

He looked again at the lit black Bronze Lantern in his hand. He now strongly suspected that the main reason he hadn’t encountered any creatures or other people was because of this lantern.

This made him consider extinguishing the Bronze Lantern, but as soon as the thought appeared, he immediately dismissed it.

He wasn’t foolish; if he really extinguished the Bronze Lantern, no one knew what might happen.
