The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

In a trance, the surrounding environment seemed to have changed. Hu Xingtong raised her head and looked at the bizarre and strange environment around her in a daze. She clearly remembered that she and Ye Nanhe were in a cave, and she was holding a box. How did she get here now?

He looked down at his hands, which were still in the same position as when he had the box, but there was nothing in his hands. Could there be something wrong with the box?

"I'm really impressed. I told you not to go, but why did you go? Now we can't get out. Let's stay here until we die!" Chen Wu's voice sounded behind him. Hu Xingtong turned around and saw that the familiar pink figure had run out at some point. The young face was already full of fatigue, and she no longer looked as cute as before.

"Why did you come out?"

Seeing that the person had woken up, Chen Wu couldn't help but step forward and questioned, "I told you not to approach that spiritual spring before, why didn't you stop? Did you know that there is a time gap underneath? If you touch it, I will be stuck with you."

"What do you mean? Are you saying we can't get out?" Hu Xingtong widened his eyes, unable to believe what Chen Wu said.

"What do you mean? I didn't explain it clearly. Why don't you want to listen to me? You haven't wanted to believe me for a long time. Why? Will I hurt you, or what? Do you know what this place is? It's a crack in the world. Once you enter here, it's almost impossible to get out. Why don't you want to believe me?" Chen Wu said, squatting down irritably, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he looked as if he was crying.

Hu Xingtong looked distressed and squatted down as well. He hugged Chen Wu and explained, "It's not that I didn't believe you. It was the first time I came to you, and when you answered me, the voices I heard were intermittent. I couldn't hear what you said clearly. I didn't dare to come down at that time. I was also afraid of danger. But Ye Nanhe wanted to come down, so I thought it should be okay, so I came down. Later, I only heard two words you said, and I didn't know what you were trying to say."

Hearing this, Chen Wu raised her head. Her face was clear of tears, but her eyes were filled with something Hu Xingtong couldn't understand. She said, "What's coming can't be avoided." She casually wiped the corners of her eyes, which were no longer wet. Chen Wu looked at Hu Xingtong, calmed her mind, and explained, "Let me first explain how I got out. First of all, the physical body you created in the game world is a product of the two-dimensional world, and your soul belongs to the three-dimensional world. I am bound to your soul, so after you came here through the gap in time, your soul and the me in it also entered here."

"Besides, where is this place? It's called the Wasteland of the World. To put it simply, in your world, it's the garbage dump for the world's scraps. There's everything here: monsters, garbage, magnetic fields, strange energies, and even spiritual energy. But the most abundant thing here is the laws, the laws that make up the world. This is the gap between worlds, so I said it's not easy to get out if you fall here."

"Finally, I'm talking about possibilities. Someone in my world has entered this place before. That person was an orc from another world. It recorded a way out, but it's not easy. It says that one needs to comprehend the laws here and use the power of the laws to offset each other and release the soul. I don't know the specific method. This is just a method it tried, and it may not apply to us."

Chen Wu told everything he knew in one breath, and then just stared at Hu Xingtong, waiting for her answer.

"What I mean is that I am now a soul that has entered this state. I am not a spirit and do not have the power of a spirit soul, right?"

"Yes," Chen Wu nodded. She could already imagine what Hu Xingtong would say next to refuse.

"Alas—it's quite difficult. I'm just an ordinary person in the three-dimensional world. It's really not easy for me to comprehend the laws in this place, but..." Hu Xingtong touched Chen Wu's head and comforted him, "You are here too. I can't be so selfish. I'm dead, but you are still fine. I will try my best. It doesn't matter how long it takes. Even if... my soul will be shattered, that's my fate..."

Hu Xingtong stared blankly at somewhere. After spending some time together, she seemed to have let go. She began to accept her fate and the misfortunes of life. From the beginning, she felt that she was incompatible with this world, but in the end, she felt that it was fine. But now that she is here, she feels that it is okay. It is her fate. She can't escape it whether she struggles or accepts it. What else can she do?

……

On this side, after Ye Nanhe found that Hu Xingtong was not moving, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He first checked the box in Hu Xingtong's hand. There were only some spiritual treasure materials in it, and there was no formation or rune on it that could confuse others. Therefore, Ye Nanhe could not guess why Hu Xingtong suddenly stood here motionless, and did not dare to move her easily.

He could only send the jade slip and ask for help from Zuo Ya.

Upon receiving the news, Zuo Ya immediately left behind his followers and rushed over.

"What's going on?" Seeing Ye Nanhe waiting at the entrance of the ruins, Zuo Ya hurried forward and asked about the situation.

"Come in first," Ye Nanhe brought people to the edge of the spiritual spring, said something to Ling Xian, and then went into the water. Seeing a green-scaled snake eating nearby, Zuoya didn't have the energy to ask, so he followed Ye Nanhe into the water.

The two returned to the cave. When they saw Hu Xingtong lying motionless, even Zuo Ya couldn't tell what was strange about it.

"Just because of this box, she won't move?" Zuo Ya looked around and didn't see anything related to formations. Then he looked at the box in Hu Xingtong's hand. It was just an ordinary formation set up to hide the eyes and ears. There was no possibility of stopping people from moving.

After thinking for a while, Zuoya extended a finger and touched Hu Xingtong's forehead. Purple demonic energy entered through Hu Xingtong's forehead, and Zuoya closed his eyes. After a long time, Zuoya suddenly opened his eyes, his brows filled with solemnity. He turned to look at Ye Nanhe and said seriously, "I'm afraid you have to call those people from the East Region over. Her soul disappeared for some reason!"

"The soul has disappeared..." Ye Nanhe felt like a bolt from the blue. Not daring to delay, he immediately sent a message to his master, asking him to notify Tan Luoxianzun to come over.

……

In the gap of time, there is nothing but darkness and strange starlight. Here, there is no concept of time. This place is like the vast starry sky in the universe, extremely empty, giving people a sense of nothingness.

Hu Xingtong didn't know how long he had been here. He only knew that Chen Wu had walked around here countless times. From the beginning, he was anxious and worried, trying hard to find hope for survival, to finally sitting in front of him in dejection, looking hopeless.

Hu Xingtong saw all of this and blamed herself for her recklessness. If she had been more cautious and trusted her intuition more, she might not have fallen into this predicament.
