Endless Systems
Chapter 66

That voice filled with intense pressure left Liu Shan stunned. His eyes opened wide and tried to look in all directions.

“(What sound is it?!)”

Xiao Lin and Xiong looked at him astonished. Liu Shan's face that was so tense and eyes opened wide made him uneasy.

“Shan, is something wrong?” asked Xiao Lin.

Liu Shan did not listen to Xiao Lin's question at all. His eyes continued to widen and tried to turn his head towards the left right and the dense interior of the Shenmi forest. However, he did not get any hint towards the voice that spoke inside his head.

Suddenly, a system appeared with him with a huge warning.

[ Emergency! ]

[ Emergency! ]

[The system detects the presence of a powerful and full of threats behind the player ]

[The level of danger can threaten the life of the player ]

After getting the system alert, Liu Shan immediately turned around to the back. His eyes opened wide and raised his gaze upwards as if he saw something so big.

Liu Shan's gaze was truly astonishing and made Xiao Lin turn around as well. And there, there was a scene they never thought could exist.

A giant black tortoise with its tail shaped like a long snake head. Its incredible size really astonished them. It has twice the height of the Xiong when it is a giant bear, and has a large body like a wide field.

If looking from the turtle's point of view, then Liu Shan and Xiao Lin only looked like an insect.

[Name : Xuan Wudan ]

[ Type: Black Tortoise ]

[Western ruler Shenmi - Northern guardian god of the wind ]

[Level : Divine ]

The first time since coming to that world, Liu Shan felt an overwhelming force before him. Cold sweat began to flow slowly due to the strong pressure from the presence of the turtle.

“(Mystic Creature ... Divine level?!)”

Liu Shan read that status even more thoroughly. And he realized a pretty interesting nickname of the turtle.

“(North breeze guard god? What does that mean?)”

Amidst his confusion, Liu Shan heard an irregular breathing sound beside him. The only person right next to him was Xiao Lin. And it turned out, Liu Shan saw Xiao Lin who looked so staring in amazement at the giant animal.

“He-great,” murmured Xiao Lin.

In contrast to Liu Shan, Xiao Lin felt a calmer presence from the tortoise. Somehow it could be different, but Liu Shan was getting more unpleasant feelings from him.

Dum!!

The giant tortoise moved and lowered its head to gaze towards Liu Shan who was below him.

On the other hand, Xiong who was previously right on Xiao Lin's shoulder immediately jumped down to the top of the ground.

“Xiong! Where are you going?!”

Xiong stopped right in front of the tortoise and immediately bowed his body as if saluting him.

“Honor to the ruler Xuan Wudan!”

“Hoo ... You've spoken yes.”

“True, ruler Xuan. All thanks to my employer, Miss Qiao who gave kindness to make a contract with me”

Hearing Xiong's remark, Xuan Wudan pulled his gaze towards Xiao Lin. Again staring with a more serene highlight and aura.

“So yes. Thank goodness for you.”

“Good, thank you very much ruler Xuan.”

Xiao Lin was confused by her being brought into the conversation between the two of them.

“Xi-Xiong?” call Xiao Lin.

Hearing Xiong's words, Liu Shan immediately looked in confusion at the intentions of the wind eye guard. He immediately asked the system to provide him with information related to it.

In the world, there are four famous gods and sent from the god realm to protect the four winds. They are referred to as the four guardian gods of the wind. One of them that Liu Shan met was Xuan Wudan, the lord of the Shenmi forest as well as the guardian of the northern winds.

Unlike the other mystical beings, Xuan Wudan's thinking and resourcefulness abilities were far more powerful. Moreover, his ability in fighting was also not a doubt anymore to ask.

“(So he is one of the mystical creatures with the highest level yes)” Inner Liu Shan.

On the other hand, Xiao Lin who heard Xiong say about Xuan Wudan immediately opened his eyes wide as if astonished. His body lowered its head and saluted him, just like what Xiong did.

“A-ah, forgive me ruler Xuan! I-this is the first time.I can see you in this grand form. I only know you from my mother's story. And it is a great honor for me to meet you”

“Not to think about. Lift your head.”

“Good, thank you very much ruler Xuan.”

Shortly after, Xuan Wudan withdrew his gaze towards Liu Shan. His gaze and aura seemed to change in the blink of an eye and could only be felt by Liu Shan himself. The pressure that even made his throat full, the tense muscles as if preparing to swing his attacks and defenses.

“(What's with this turtle? Why did he give such a denouncing gaze and aura when it pointed at me?!)”

“So you .. who have made a terrible sight in my forest.”

All eyes stared towards Liu Shan. He opened his eyes wide while pointing at himself in confusion.

“I?”

“Not to be confused like that, Liu Shan,” Xuan Wudan said.

Liu Shan opened his eyes wide when he heard Xuan Wudan calling out to him.

“(She ... where does she know my name?!)” inner Liu Shan.

“I came face to face because there was something I wanted to do. But before that,”

Without being seen doing an inch of movement, suddenly there is a barrier like an invisible lining wall formed around it. When Liu Shan was looking at what was going on, his two eyes stopped looking at Xiao Lin and Xiong whose movements had stopped helping.

“Lin’er? Xiong?!”

Liu Shan called out in panic to the two of them. There was no sign of any response or movement in their bodies. However, Xuan Wudan directly answered him.

“Not to panic. I'm just moving our bodies to the god realm that I created inside this barrier. Your whole movement and body are in my control. Including the two of them” Xuan Wudan said

“Lantas why they don't move? Even breathing alone is not!” sahut Liu Shan's.

“I just stopped the flow of their time. Although it looks not breathing, but they are not dead,” explained Xuan Wudan.

Supposedly, Liu Shan felt calm and could sigh in relief when he heard Xuan Wudan's execution. But, the word of ‘stopping the flow of time’ it makes Liu Shan not stop to be surprised.

“Stop ...flow time you say?” ask Liu Shan.

“True. A high-level technique that a living being could possess when reaching the god realm. Whatever is inside this barrier, all I master easily. I can guarantee that they are both fine,” Xuan Wudan said.

Now Liu Shan was able to sigh in relief. His attention began to be focused and returned to the main topic of Xuan Wudan who brought him to the artificial realm.

“Alright, what do you want from me?”

“I've heard about you from Haishe.”

“Haishe?! How can?!”

“I am a creature from the realm of gods. Of course my abilities are at a high level, and to be able to telepathize with animals or other mystical creatures is not impossible”

The high ability of Xuan Wudan really surprised Liu Shan. He was even amazed to learn that there was telepathic ability.

While Xuan Wudan himself continued his words.

“However, I still doubt you,” Xuan Wudan said.

Both of Liu Shan's eyes opened and turned into sharp glares.

“Hong?” ask Liu Shan.

“In this place, about ten people before. That's not the first time you've killed someone, is it? Moreover killing him in the forest,” Xuan Wudan said.
