Chapter 4682
"Now that I'm in trouble, you have to repay this favor, right? At the very least, help me kill Indra, and we'll be even."
In Gao Changkong's view, his relationship with Zhang Yi was more like a tacit understanding of mutual exploitation.
Now, he needs to monetize this relationship.
"If the price we pay is high enough, or if we have common interests, he might not hesitate to take action."
Gao Changkong added that he tried to persuade his companions, and also himself.
"The death of Indra and the change in the power structure of Bharata were not necessarily bad things for him."
Just as he was planning how to negotiate with Zhang Yi and how to offer him substantial benefits, a sudden change occurred!
Gao Changkong suddenly groaned, his body trembled violently, and he almost dropped the longsword in his hand.
He felt a burning, stinging pain in his eyes, his vision blurred instantly, and then was covered by a strange, ancient, and desolate scene.
What he "saw" was no longer a dark forest, but an endless dark void, in the center of which was an enormous eye that was slowly opening!
Those eyes were as deep as an abyss, their pupils reflecting the birth and death of stars and the turning of fate.
An indescribable feeling, a mixture of antiquity, majesty, compassion, and a cold call, surged into his mind like a torrent!
"Ugh..."
Gao Changkong let out an unconscious groan, his body seemingly no longer under his control.
His once calculating and incredibly calm eyes became empty and fanatical, staring intently in a certain direction—the direction the giant eye was guiding his consciousness.
“Go…to there…” he murmured to himself, his voice ethereal.
"Chang Kong? What's wrong?"
Gu Man immediately noticed Gao Changkong's unusual behavior and stepped forward to support him.
Batu, gritting his teeth against his injuries, gripped his weapon tightly with a wary look: "An enemy?"
However, Gao Changkong ignored his companion's calls. He suddenly broke free from Gu Man's hand, and with a swift movement, he sped off like a ghost towards a specific direction in the forest.
His speed far exceeded his usual limits, as if he were being pulled by invisible threads.
"Follow him!"
Although Gu Man was surprised and uncertain, she shouted to Batu without hesitation.
The two of them, without even taking a moment to recover their breath, immediately activated their remaining strength and closely followed Gao Changkong's sleepwalking figure.
……
Meanwhile, in another area of the Dark Sun Forest.
Unlike Gao Changkong and the others who were in a sorry state, Di Shitian, although he had also experienced a fierce battle, had his magnificent divine robes torn and the light of his Seven Treasures Golden Steps dimmed considerably.
But his gait still carried the dignity of a prophet and a Bharata leader, as well as a strange ease.
Unlike Gao Changkong, he was not in a hurry to find allies or a way out. Instead, he seemed to be wandering aimlessly, or perhaps guided by some inner rhythm, through this perilous forest.
He held up a Heavenly Umbrella of the World Honored One, which was slowly rotating at a constant speed. Rays of pure and holy light fell from the edges of the umbrella, keeping out the black spiritual pollution forces that were trying to invade from the surrounding area.
Indra held a string of crystal-clear prayer beads in his hand, and what he was chanting in a low voice was not Buddhist scripture, but the Vedas of ancient Brahmanism.
His voice was deep and magnetic, carrying a certain power to soothe the soul and connect with the universe.
Putting aside his actions during the battle, this Brahmin prophet from the highest caste of the Bharata sect was himself an extremely devout believer.
The Bharata school of Buddhism emphasizes spiritual cultivation. Through years of rigorous practice, many monks can maintain a single posture for decades.
Therefore, on a spiritual level, they far surpass ordinary people.
The various things that have escaped into the Dark Sun Forest are not enough to erode Indra's mental defenses.
