Chapter 673

At this moment, Lin Moyu was less than 10,000 meters from the Great Vortex, and he could already see the massive vortex from afar.

The vortex was like a black hole, constantly sucking in the seawater surging from all directions, with no one knowing where it led.

The moment he saw the vortex, a thought suddenly emerged in his mind: "Could the vortex be dangerous!"

Just as this thought arose, his soul suddenly issued a warning, followed by waves of trembling.

Danger!

Lin Moyu stopped immediately and then retreated at high speed.

Just as he retreated, an invisible giant hand swept past him, its speed as fast as lightning.

If Lin Moyu had been 0.1 seconds slower, he would definitely have been struck by the giant hand.

The giant hand could not be seen with the naked eye, and Lin Moyu was only able to discover it because he had been keeping his soul power extended outward.

Lin Moyu continued to retreat, stopping only after moving back several thousand meters.

His expression was somewhat unpleasant; his soul had just trembled violently.

Although he hadn't been struck by the giant hand, his soul had still suffered an impact.

Extending one's soul outward was like a double-edged sword; it could help discover danger, but it also provided a channel for others to attack.

When the nine-colored dragon soul crystal had been attacked before, it had emitted a dragon roar, forming a protection for his soul.

Otherwise, the injury to his soul would have been much more severe.

Now, it emitted a dragon roar once again, spraying soul power to heal his soul.

His soul had suffered an impact, but it was only a minor injury and was not a problem.

However, Lin Moyu felt alarmed. This sudden attack had come without a single sign.

The attack targeted the soul and was silent and traceless.

If he had dodged slowly, his soul would surely have been severely damaged by that strike.

In the instant it swept past, Lin Moyu had sensed a massive and extremely chaotic soul aura on the giant hand.

The interior of this giant hand seemed to be composed of countless souls.

The power of these souls was mixed together, fused into a mass, and could unleash extremely strong power.

Yet, the wills of these souls were chaotic and disorganized, and even more of a mess after being mixed together.

But it happened to be extremely powerful, making it difficult for Lin Moyu to resist on his own.

"No wonder, no wonder there are so few records about this vortex."

"The records only warn that this place is extremely dangerous and that one must never approach it."

"Those who approached all died; there were no survivors, so naturally, no one knew what happened inside."

He waited here for a moment, but did not receive another attack.

Lin Moyu noted the position where the giant hand had attacked him earlier, and emboldened, he approached cautiously.

His soul remained in an extended state.

When he approached within 10,000 meters of the vortex, that sense of danger rose again.

Lin Moyu retreated instantly and simultaneously retracted his extended soul.

He once again sensed a massive soul power sweep past before his eyes, and the whistling wind sound transmitted into his soul.

"10,000 meters, this is the limit."

"If the giant hand has a sense of territory, then 10,000 meters from the vortex is its domain."

Lin Moyu understood in his heart and began to fly around the vortex, always maintaining a distance of 11,000 meters.

Chapter 648: Puppeteer Family, Southwest Wang Family

After several tests, Lin Moyu determined that as long as he did not enter the 10,000-meter range, there would be no danger.

10,000 meters was the critical point.

The vortex connected to several other oceans in all directions.

Lin Moyu was certain that monsters lived in the other oceans.

But near the vortex, there was not a single monster.

Even the starlight of the Starry Sea had disappeared; not even starlight existed here.

The vortex seemed to have become a restricted zone, and no monster or living creature dared to approach it.

But if one could not approach it, then one could not investigate the truth.

The Detection Spell could not fly 10,000 meters that far either.

"Let's try using the Undead Legion!"

Lin Moyu summoned ten Headless Knights and had them Charge toward the vortex from different directions.

He wanted to borrow the vision of the Headless Knights to take a look at the situation inside the vortex.

In any case, the Headless Knights would not die; if they received a fatal attack, they would respawn in his Summoning Space.

The Headless Knights activated the Charge skill, rushing forward at a speed of 3,000 meters per second.

Ten Headless Knights charged from different directions and different angles.

Just as they entered the 10,000-meter range of the vortex, having rushed forward less than 100 meters in under 0.1 seconds.

They collectively collapsed in silence.

Without any sound, the Headless Knights died instantly and then appeared in the Summoning Space.

They died all at once, with almost no order.

Through the vision of the Headless Knights, Lin Moyu felt an attack coming from the soul.

There was also almost no delay between them.

A sharp light flashed in Lin Moyu's eyes. "Let's try again."

Ten Headless Knights were too few; this time, he released 10,000 Headless Knights.

The Headless Knights surrounded the vortex in a circle, on all sides, in the sky, and in the water.

Following Lin Moyu's command, the Headless Knights collectively activated the Charge skill and rushed over again.

Lin Moyu's soul power surged wildly, connecting to tens of thousands of fields of vision.

Immediately afterward, a scene that shocked him occurred.

He saw a flash of blue light, and then he saw a huge face.

This face appeared to be a human face, but it was filled with all kinds of monsters.

The face was composed of soul power, incredibly powerful and chaotic in consciousness.

It appeared above the vortex like a beast and let out a roar.

The soul sound transmitted for 10,000 meters, and all the Headless Knights collapsed simultaneously.

Lin Moyu himself also trembled violently, his face pale.

Because his soul was connected to the Headless Knights, this roar also implicated his own soul.

The nine-colored dragon soul crystal continuously sprayed soul power, healing Lin Moyu.

The injury to his soul was very light; it had only vibrated for a moment, and it was healed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Moyu had some guesses about the vortex.

That face explained a lot of things.

The face was just a form; the essence was still a soul attack.

What was more essential was the disorganized consciousness within it, which meant that this soul energy was composed of countless strands of souls.

Their souls had combined together, yet their consciousness had not been unified.

Where did these souls come from? They were simply monster creatures that had been attracted by the water flow.

They were sucked into the vortex, their souls firmly trapped by the vortex, becoming the power of the vortex.

Their consciousness had not been destroyed and was also trapped here together.

Lin Moyu suddenly had a hair-raising feeling.

If consciousness existed and could still think, then was the vortex an eternal prison of torment?

"What exactly is inside the vortex?"

"Imprisoning souls is not something an ordinary person can do."

Lin Moyu prepared to try one more time, to draw out the face again and observe it.

Although the observation time was only about 0.1 seconds, if time wasn't enough, he would make up for it with frequency. By observing a few more times, perhaps he could discover something.

Just as he was preparing to summon the Headless Knights again, Lin Moyu suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look and saw two Professionals flying over from a distance.

A man and a woman, holding hands, looked like a couple.

The man looked to be around 40 years old.

The woman should also be around the same age, but she had techniques for maintaining her youth, appearing much younger.

The two flew to Lin Moyu's side, and the man cupped his hands toward Lin Moyu. "Brother, are you also here to admire the Central Great Vortex?"

The Central Great Vortex was the name of this vortex.

Lin Moyu gave a grunt of acknowledgment.

The man continued, "In a moment, it will be the time for the vortex to backflow. This is a rare spectacle that only happens once a year, rarely seen."

Lin Moyu asked, "What is a vortex backflow?"

He had not seen vortex backflow in any records, nor had he heard anyone mention it.

The man laughed aloud. "That's just a name I gave to the spectacle. I saw it in an ancient book; the Central Great Vortex erupts with a phenomenon of seawater spraying backward once a year. It is said to be very spectacular."

Lin Moyu was shocked in his heart. "Seawater spraying backward, what will happen then?"

The man shook his head. "It's just what it literally means. I haven't seen it myself, but anyway, it's said to be very spectacular."

At this moment, the woman said, "Let's get closer to watch."

The man agreed readily, and the two flew toward it again.

Lin Moyu shouted sharply, "Come back!"

The man paused. "Little brother, is there something wrong?"

Lin Moyu said, "Do not approach within 10,000 meters. It is dangerous; people will die."

The man was slightly stunned and did not fully believe Lin Moyu's words.

But he could see that Lin Moyu did not look like he was joking.

Suddenly, he took out a metal bead.

The metal bead was only the size of a fist. The man threw it into mid-air and then cast a skill with his fingers.

The metal bead exploded with a bang, turning into a sword-wielding puppet half a person's height.

Lin Moyu looked at the man. "Puppeteer?"

Puppeteers were very rare, and this profession also possessed bloodline inheritance. There was only one Puppeteer family in the Shenxia Empire.

The man should be from this Puppeteer family.

The man looked slightly proud. "That's right, the Southwest Wang Family! Wang Feng."

The Southwest Wang Family, a Puppeteer family, was an extremely ancient family in the Shenxia Empire.

Their history was even older than the Shenxia Empire; they had already existed before its founding.

Their ancestors had established indelible merits for the Shenxia Empire and for the entire human race.
