Chapter 1284: Ants Eat People

Tian Tian was stunned for a moment, then took the pen from Chu Tianqiu's hand.

She carefully wiped the blood off the pen, then touched the strange door with the pen tip.

Although it wasn't as obvious as touching it directly with her hand, Tian Tian could still generally feel the door's hardness and material.

It was similar to other woods, also made of wood, but of better quality and intricately carved with patterns.

The craftsmanship was far more complex than the simple wooden doors on "Cangjie Qi" and "Lieche".

Back in the "Cangjie Qi" arena, Tian Tian had replicated all the wood grains and cracks on that "door" to make it realistic.

From this, it seemed that for this finely crafted door, to make her creation truly lead to Tian Long's room, she needed to completely replicate the patterns and even the dust on it.

"Give me some time..."

Tian Tian said seriously, "This is a bit difficult for me."

Chu Tianqiu nodded, about to speak, but suddenly heard a lot of footsteps.

The footsteps were like thunder, making the entire "Lieche" shake.

It seemed like a large number of people were coming, more than imaginable.

He quickly went to the door and looked out, but didn't see anyone, yet he could still hear the deafening footsteps.

As he was puzzled, Yan Zhichun's face flashed through the door crack.

Yan Zhichun saw Chu Tianqiu there and her face changed, quickly reaching out to hold the door.

"Oh no... what are you doing here?"

"It's a long story... what's going on outside..."

"You need to hide quickly."

Yan Zhichun said seriously, "You have too many 'targets' on you, easy to be mistaken for 'Tianji', it's too dangerous."

"What...?"

"'Luantong' has moved."

Yan Zhichun said, "'Lieche' is about to change."

Chu Tianqiu widened his eyes, and the next second, he saw a large number of 'Luantong' rushing out from behind Yan Zhichun, surging like a tide, and several turned their heads towards Chu Tianqiu.

He hurriedly closed the door, and those 'Luantong' crashed into the door.

Zhang Chenze and Yun Yao heard the noise and turned back, hearing something madly banging on the door, the chaotic sounds making it hard to calm down.

In the violent knocking, Chu Tianqiu thought about the situation with some fear, then looked up at Yun Yao.

"Yun Yao, your 'Strong Luck' even saved me..."

"What's going on...?"

Zhang Chenze asked.

"The situation is starting to change..."

Chu Tianqiu murmured, "Someone released the 'Double-Edged Sword', now we need to seize the last bit of time."

Tian Tian nodded after hearing this and continued to explore the door's outline with the pen.

In the hallway, a large number of 'Luantong' began to scatter, making countless 'Renji' and 'Diji' feel the situation even more chaotic, but fortunately, these 'Zodiac' didn't have the targets that 'Luantong' were looking for, so their lives were temporarily safe.

Almost half of the Luantong first went towards the fork where the 'Tianji' rooms were, and Yan Zhichun and Jiang Ruoxue walked boldly among them, like leading a group of strange soldiers to attack and occupy.

What puzzled the two was that the two doors nearest to Qing Long's room had no 'Luantong' stopping, they passed by and rushed deeper.

Yan Zhichun frowned and looked at the doors on her left and right, a bad feeling rising in her heart.

That sadness that had just been suppressed seemed to surface again.

She looked at her left side, and as if possessed, she reached out and slowly pushed the door open, only to see endless darkness on the other side, rippling with the vast universe.

It seemed like there was nothing here, yet it contained all things in the world.

She stood in front of the door, facing the entire universe, but felt empty in her heart.

Jiang Ruoxue paused behind her and asked,

"What's wrong, Zhichun?"

"I don't know..."

Yan Zhichun stared at the brilliant starry sky in a daze, "This shouldn't be a 'Tianji' room... why is it outside like this..."

"Maybe not all doors lead to 'Tianji' rooms..."

Jiang Ruoxue said uncertainly, "The door opposite also has no 'Luantong' stopping, maybe both sides are empty...?"

Yan Zhichun agreed that it was strange; these two doors were so close to Qing Long's room, why did all the 'Luantong' choose to bypass them?

If not 'Tianji', who could be inside?

To verify her guess, she walked to the opposite door and pushed it, but found it locked.

After thinking for two seconds, Yan Zhichun knocked on the door again, pressing her ear close, hearing sounds inside, but the person inside didn't seem to plan to open it.

The many 'Luantong' beside her gave Yan Zhichun some courage; after thinking for a few seconds, she knocked again.

After a moment, the door opened a crack, and a chubby man peeked out with his eyes.

Though the man looked a bit plump, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Seeing this, Yan Zhichun cautiously stepped back, then looked at the 'Luantong' beside her, but found that no one noticed this chubby man; they rushed past the ajar door as if nothing was there.

"What is it?"

The man asked.

"Who... are you?"

Yan Zhichun asked.

The chubby man seemed unsure how to answer, staring at Yan Zhichun for a long time before slowly saying,

"I'm nobody."

Then he shook his head and closed the door.

Jiang Ruoxue pulled Yan Zhichun and said,

"This man looks strange... are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

Yan Zhichun frowned, "He is indeed strange, probably a 'Tianji'."

"'Tianji'...?"

Jiang Ruoxue frowned at the 'Luantong' beside them, "Are you sure?"

"A normal person opening the door and seeing this weird scene... how could he be so calm?"

Yan Zhichun said, "The hallway is full of monster-like creatures... even participants who shouldn't be here have appeared, but he just expressionlessly asked 'what is it', no matter how you think about it, he's not normal."

Jiang Ruoxue nodded after hearing,

"If he's a 'Tianji', how did he escape the 'Luantong's detection...?"

"This is probably only known to him."

Yan Zhichun shook her head and looked deeper into the hallway.

A large number of 'Luantong' began knocking on various doors, pounding wildly, with chaotic sounds rising and falling.

Soon, the first door was burst open, and a large number of 'Luantong' surged in.

Yan Zhichun and Jiang Ruoxue hurriedly walked up to check, only to see the room full of bloodstains, a Diji sitting on the ground unsure if alive or dead, and a middle-aged woman covered in wounds standing in front.

A group of 'Luantong' pounced on the middle-aged woman, knocking her down in her terrified face.
