Chapter 225 Sudden Death
The scenery in front of him changed again, and in the blink of an eye, Xia Ye found himself in a brand new world.

Standing before her eyes was a magnificent Chinese-style pavilion, with cornices, brackets, carved beams and painted columns, which perfectly matched all the characteristics of buildings in Xianxia novels.

Looking further away, there are green mountains and black rocks, long rivers and waterfalls, and more buildings of similar style. They are layered on top of each other, extending to the horizon, and then gradually extending upward from the horizon, and finally folded over to hang upside down. The posture appears above the head.

In the far distance, there is a tower that is taller than any other building. Opposite it in the sky, another tower that is almost as tall hangs upside down.There is some kind of light source suspended between the tops of the two towers. It emits pure white soft light, illuminating the ground and sky.

Xia Ye took in the scenery as far as the eye could see, and quickly had an idea in her mind: "Is this a tube-shaped world?"

Hearing her question, Tang Li looked surprised. After a few seconds, he nodded and said: "Sister Xia Ye is so smart. This is indeed a world shaped like a pen holder. All the mountains, rivers and buildings you see in front of you are inside the pen holder. In the past It took me a lot of backtracking to figure this out.”

Backtracking... Before entering this world, the prompt was "Backtracking begins", and now Tang Li also mentioned the word "backtracking".

"How many times has Sister Tang Li gone back so far?" she asked.

"So far...a total of 114 times, recorded in the jade bracelet."

Quite a bit...but not too much.After all, Xia Ye is a person who "reads a lot of books". Although she hasn't asked two questions yet, she already has a rough guess in her mind:
"Sister Tang Li, by looking back, do you mean that in the process of exploring this world, you will fail due to various accidents, and every time you fail, you will come back here and start all over again?"

Tang Li was even more surprised: "You, how do you know? Could it be that sister Xia Ye also has this..."

"I don't have this kind of bracelet, but I also have my secret." Xia Ye smiled and said, "So this time Sister Tang Li invited me here, did you encounter any obstacles in the process of going back?"

Tang Li was stunned again, and then showed a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Sister Xia Ye really guesses it right."

"So, what's the problem you're having?"

"I couldn't survive more than 2 hours every time before I died."

"Every time? 114 times?"

"Um……"

"Sister Tang Li is so good!"

"Ugh..." Tang Li could understand the meaning of "cai", but she was not angry, she just lowered her head in grievance.

Seeing her dejected look, Xia Ye couldn't help but comfort her: "It doesn't matter, the food is not terrible, the most fearful thing is that the food is wasteful. Sister Tang Li knows her food, and she knows how to ask me, an expert, to help. She has already Better than most.”

"..." Tang Li couldn't tell whether Xia Ye was praising her or belittling her.

"So, how do you die every time?" Xia Ye asked again.

Tang Li shook his head in confusion: "...I don't know, no matter what I am doing, as soon as that time comes, my vision will go dark, and then I will return to the void inexplicably, and there will be a prompt. [You are dead, do you want to go back again: Yes/No]."

"Um……"

Hearing what the other party said, Xia Ye couldn't figure out the reason for a while, so she could only say: "Then just do what you did before. Don't worry about me. I'll take a look first and then talk."

"it is good."

Tang Li responded and walked towards the building in front.

"and many more--"

Before she even took two steps, Xia Ye stopped her.

"What will Sister Tang Li do now?"

"What to do...of course is to enroll in a school."

"Why did you go there?"

After listening to Xia Ye's questioning, Tang Li seemed to understand her thoughts and explained with a smile: "Actually, when I first entered this world, there was a so-called 'novice tutorial', which told me that I needed to enter the 'Taixu School', that is, enrolling in the place in front of you. Only in this way can the main goal of the retrospective be triggered, which is [Rescuing the Qionghuan Star Ark].

"...By the way, I remember that when I first entered Taixu Academy, I also got a 'Newbie Gift Pack', which allowed me to upgrade any contract I signed. I upgraded the 'Eye of Truth', otherwise, it would It’s not as powerful as it is now.”

"In other words, as the main plot progresses, you should be able to get other rewards?" Xia Ye analyzed.

"Well, that's what I thought too. Unfortunately... I tried it more than 100 times, but it died inexplicably every time. Naturally, there was no progress in the main plot."

"Have you tried going somewhere else first?"

"I tried it, but it didn't work." Tang Li shook his head and said, "There seems to be some kind of ban near the school. If you can't go far, you will be blocked."

"So, the only choice is to go to school first?"

"Yes, so let's leave quickly, otherwise we will die again without finding any clues when the time comes." After Tang Li finished speaking, he walked towards the school again.

As a result, before he took two steps, Xia Ye stopped him again: "Wait!"

"Eh...???" "Sister Tang Li, we are not entering the school this time." Xia Ye said with a smile.

"But if you don't enter the school..."

"You can't open the main line without entering the school, I know that. That's why I want to try. If we don't open the main line, will we also die when the time comes?"

"Ah!" Tang Li suddenly realized that he had never thought of this.

No wonder Sister Xia Ye said she was good at it...

"Maybe we don't have to do anything and the main storyline will be cleared automatically after two hours?" Xia Ye added.

"...Can it still be like this?"

"Well, it's possible," Xia Ye nodded seriously. She remembered that there was a game like this in the past.

"Okay, just listen to sister Xia Ye."

So, the two of them sat on the ground at the entrance of the school, chatting and passing the boring time.

……

When it was almost two hours, Xia Ye stopped chatting. She stood up and stared at Taixu Academy warily.

"Sister Tang Li, does your death time happen to be exactly two hours each time?"

Tang Li thought for a while: "Well, one minute is not bad."

"How long has it been since we entered the world?"

"One hour and 1 minutes." Tang Li looked at the system time and replied.

Xia Ye immediately activated "Thunder Knight". In this world, her contract abilities were still the same, neither enhanced nor weakened. The duration of "Thunder Knight" was 3 minutes, which could just cover the time of death.

Tang Li looked at her in surprise: "Did you find the enemy?"

"No. It's just that 'Thunder Knight' can improve my reaction speed." Xia Ye explained, "Continue to keep an eye on the school. I feel that the problem must occur there."

"it is good."

The 1 minute passed quickly and everything around me was normal.

……

A minute and a half passed, and still nothing abnormal happened.

……

45 minute [-] seconds...

55 minute [-] seconds...

One point fifty...

Xia Ye suddenly recited "Crack" at an extremely fast speed!
The rift unfolded, and she entered the "exile" state for 1.5 seconds. Her reaction speed was further improved based on the "Thunder Knight", and everything around her became a slow motion in her eyes.

But she still seemed a little slower.

Tang Li beside him had been turned into ashes, and the Thunder Cat had also collapsed. His lower body was missing, and only his upper body was preserved in the "exiled" state.

The ground beneath his feet was torn apart like paper, and the same was true for the magnificent school in front of him. An extremely huge claw penetrated from the ground and swept across, destroying everything in its path.Even with the dual blessing of "Thunder Knight" and "Exile", the giant claw in Xia Ye's eyes was still unparalleledly fast. Even after it destroyed the entire school, the 1.5 seconds of "Exile" still had a long time left.

The place where the majestic pavilion originally stood has now turned into a huge gap that is more than one kilometer long. The air is carrying countless fragments, rushing out of the gap and falling into the lightless dark space.

Suddenly, a white light flew out from the fragments, and in an instant it was very far away. Just as Xia Ye wanted to see where it was going, the "exile" effect ended.

The screen in front of me was like a screen that suddenly lost power and fell into darkness instantly.

When she regained consciousness, she found that she had returned to the cyan void.Next to him, Tang Li's joyful voice came:
"Sister Xia Ye, you are so amazing!"

"what?"

"We seem to have obtained something called 'achievement'..."

Xia Ye immediately discovered that, just as Tang Li said, there was a reminder message floating in the void in front of him:
[Achievement Obtained: Immovable as a Mountain]
