Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 1393 - 869: White Light (Part 2)
Beside the panic-stricken adventurers seeking shelter, in front of the soldiers entangled in battle, behind the wounded hiding in Sain for healing...
There was a figure quietly emitting a white light.
What kind of monster is this!
Gong Qiying instantly became alert, quickly scanning his room with his eyes. Fortunately, the ghost-like white light hadn't appeared here.
Under his control, the crystal ball divided into thousands of scenes, randomly pointing to different locations.
But in every scene, there was a lingering white light.
They stood in Sain Dungeon, yet seemed to be residing within the scenes of the crystal ball, unrelenting.
This was an event that Gong Qiying had never encountered since taking over Sain Dungeon, no matter what, it hinted at extreme eeriness.
What's even more peculiar is that Sain Dungeon hadn't identified these white figures, as if they didn't exist in the dungeon at all.
The Dungeon system automatically identifies entrants and begins to tally their spiritual power; this was the only time Gong Qiying visually saw someone inside the dungeon, yet the system had no response.
Should monsters be dispatched towards where these white figures are? Or...
At this moment, all the white figures in the scenes did the same motion.
They raised their heads towards the center of the screen, hesitantly and deliberately.
Where the face should be, an indentation appeared.
It was only then that Gong Qiying realized that the opening and closing of their mouths revealed contours, he could even decipher lip reading.
No sound came; only the other's lips opened and closed.
Gong Qiying furrowed his brow, staring closely at the subtle motion, finally able to discern what the other was trying to say.
Two words, the other kept repeating the pronunciation of two words.
In a way he could comprehend, it would read as ni and guang.
"Reverse... light? Hide Light? Neon Light?"
Is this what it means? Or did he misunderstand?
What in the world is this eerie white figure trying to tell him?
Since entering Sain Dungeon, they haven't displayed any hostility, not spreading spiritual power nor displaying any emotions, as if truly only a presence of a natural light, incapable of generating spiritual power.
What is its true form, is the white light enveloping its body some sort of magical disguise?
Gong Qiying attempted to analyze the white light on the figure, recalling the types of light he had read about and encountered in books.
Warm yellow is Holy Light, dark purple starlight is Evil God, purple is Dark Moon Light Sword, while plain white light is common in various Lighting Techniques.
However, the white light summoned by Lighting Techniques always carries an unbearable glare, whereas the light on this white figure...
Uncertain if his description is accurate, but Gong Qiying perceived from it a sense of "nature" and "gentleness."
Almost as if this white light naturally融入ed (merged into) the world, appearing anywhere without resistance, gently visible to all life, without stinging their eyes.
It's as if a naturally existing phenomenon in the world, definitely not any creature that had ever entered Sain Dungeon.
And clearly, the figure was speaking directly to him as the City Lord.
The white light could perceive the most secretive things in the dungeon.
So Gong Qiying voiced towards the white light.
"Who are you, what do you want."
At the moment he questioned, all the white light paused momentarily.
Visually, it seemed like a computer glitch; the white light glitched and misaligned but quickly restored to its original form, leaving the face smooth without any trace of the mouth's outline.
For some reason, Gong Qiying suddenly felt the other was emitting an "expectant" emotion towards him.
As soon as he perceived this emotion, the dungeon system suddenly detected the unidentified white light, instantly locking onto it.
Just then, the seemingly peaceful white light suddenly changed.
In an instant, it transformed into orange-yellow Huang Guang (Yellow Light)!
Any previous natural gentle expectant emotion vanished, replaced by a malicious intent that frantically warned Gong Qiying through the dungeon system!
The clones of Huang Guang rapidly disappeared, leaving only one body standing within Fran Fort, suspended before the Fire Transmission Throne, seemingly facing the crystal ball's image.
No time to ponder why this luminous stranger suddenly changed its attitude, Gong Qiying immediately executed the setup made upon first seeing the white light.
With a decisive motion, a large chunk of the spiritual power reserve vanished; the Fran Undead Team members lying in Fran Fort all rose and lunged at the Huang Guang, powerful restraining magic fell from the sky simultaneously with the Undead Team onto Huang Guang.
The entire scene in front of Gong Qiying was abruptly engulfed by intensely dazzling orange-yellow flashes; these light seemed to sting the soul, causing him to squint his eyes.
The crystal ball swiftly switched scenes in less than a second; the dungeon system rapidly suppressed this abnormal light, the flash was completely extinguished within a second.
But at this point, in front of Gong Qiying's eyes was a world seemingly slowed to infinite playback speed.
Members of the Fran Undead Team he awakened maintained a mid-air lunging posture; theoretically they were in motion, but visually they hardly seemed capable of it.
