Chapter 248 - 248 The Person in the Stone, An Existence That Defies Logic

248 The Person in the Stone, An Existence That Defies Logic

Lin Ran looked at Huo Qiyun, who seemed to have grown out of a stone, his mouth wide open in shock.

“Impossible, impossible. I must be hallucinating!”

Lin Ran muttered softly and reached out to slowly pull Huo Qiyun up. At this moment, he still had a trace of hope. Perhaps someone had really dug a hole in the stone platform and “planted” Huo Qiyun in it.

However, as Lin Ran pulled Huo Qiyun up, his heart sank.

Under the flickering light, Lin Ran could see Huo Qiyun’s waist attached to the stone platform. There were even a few dark red things that looked like tree roots stuck into the stone platform from Huo Qiyun’s waist.

“What!”

Lin Ran couldn’t help but exclaim. He immediately took a few steps back. He grabbed his hair with both hands, but he still couldn’t pull that terrifying scene out of his mind.

“Impossible! This is impossible!”

Lin Ran roared and suddenly summoned the Yin-Yang Sword to slash around crazily.

“Come out! Fight me one-on-one! Why are you bullying people so much weaker than you?”

Lin Ran’s hoarse roar caused a thunderous echo in Sword Grave. Countless sword energies tore through the air, emitting ear-piercing roars. The black insects in the black water pool were attracted by the internal energy, and the huge waves that were as thick as ink were surging violently.

In just a moment, Sword Grave was turned into a mess by Lin Ran. The surrounding walls were covered in sword marks of varying depths, and the ancient weapons that had been there for an unknown period of time were broken into pieces by the sword energy.

However, even though Lin Ran had caused such a huge commotion, the mastermind still had no intention of showing up.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Ran sat on the ground dejectedly. Most of the fire sword energy that was hovering in the air had been extinguished, leaving only a few that were still dancing around him. The flickering fire barely illuminated the stone platform.

Looking at Huo Qiyun, who had his eyes closed, Lin Ran’s heart ached for him.

Recalling the times the two of them spent together, Lin Ran’s eyes were already slightly red.

Lin Ran sighed softly, his voice filled with fatigue. “I told you not to come, but you refused to listen. Now, you can’t leave even if you want to.”

“Oh, right. Your emperor sister has found her mother, but the situation is a little complicated. I feel that she’s depressed. I originally wanted to ask you to make her happy, but looking at you now, it shouldn’t be very convenient for you to move around, right?”

…

Lin Ran had a sad smile on his face as he rambled on like an old man on his deathbed.

If it were any other time, Huo Qiyun would have told him to shut up. Now, even though Huo Qiyun was listening quietly, Lin Ran was not happy at all.

After a long while, Lin Ran told Huo Qiyun everything he had experienced in the past few days, but even if there was nothing else to say, he still didn’t want to stop.

“Oh, right!”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran suddenly clapped his hands and put on a mysterious expression. “Let me tell you a secret. Aren’t you curious about how my realm advances so quickly?”

“Actually, I’m not a genius at all. The reason is because I have a sign-in system…”

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ran saw Huo Qiyun’s eyelashes tremble a few times before he slowly opened his eyes!

“You’re awake?!”

Lin Ran was overjoyed. He rushed forward and hugged Huo Qiyun. He didn’t know what to do to save him, but as long as Huo Qiyun could wake up, it was already a great comfort to him!

Huo Qiyun frowned and stared at Lin Ran for a long time before saying softly, “Lin Ran? Why are you here? Am I dreaming?”

Lin Ran rubbed the corners of his eyes and replied in a hoarse voice, “Believe me, I hope this is a dream more than you do!”

Huo Qiyun frowned, indicating that he didn’t know what Lin Ran was talking about. Then, he closed his eyes and said helplessly, “I hope this isn’t a dream. I had a dream just now. In the dream, you kept nagging at me. It’s so annoying!”

“Uh…”

Lin Ran looked embarrassed. He didn’t expect Huo Qiyun to really hear him!

Before Lin Ran said anything, Huo Qiyun suddenly opened his eyes and frowned in confusion. “When did you grow again? Why do I feel that you’re about the same height as me when you’re sitting?”

As Huo Qiyun spoke, he was about to lower his head, as if he wanted to see if he was standing on a low ground. Seeing this, Lin Ran’s expression changed drastically and he quickly extinguished the fire sword energy. The two of them were immediately swallowed by the thick darkness.

However, before Lin Ran could heave a sigh of relief, he heard Huo Qiyun mutter in confusion in the darkness, as if he had discovered something strange.

Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly said, “Huo Qiyun! Don’t worry. Although I don’t know what to do yet, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, I’ll definitely save you!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Huo Qiyun’s voice sounded in the darkness. Other than confusion, there was also a hint of disdain. “Can’t you control the mechanism of the mountain? When Xiao Huai is fine, we’ll just go out.”

Lin Ran was stunned when he heard this. From what Huo Qiyun said, he didn’t seem to have realized that he had become one with the stone platform. However, how could he not feel anything?

Just as Lin Ran was thinking about how to explain the situation, he heard Huo Qiyun ask in confusion, “Did you really not notice anything wrong?”

Lin Ran pretended to be calm and said, “No, nothing. What’s wrong with this place?”

“This stone platform is very strange.”

Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat. Huo Qiyun had indeed discovered it!
