Qian Duoduo bowed slightly, acting as a welcoming host, and as he gestured, a tunnel slowly appeared…
Jiang Wang glanced at Zhou Qian and, receiving an affirmative nod, headed straight into the spatial rift.
Qian Duoduo smiled at Zhou Qian and the other, then entered the tunnel after leaving two of himself behind.
"See you~"
Chapter 379: The Hall, the Mysterious Round Table.
On the other side, as soon as Jiang Wang entered the tunnel, he felt an unusual sensation.
The feeling was peculiar, as if everything around him was slowing down, yet it was also happening very quickly.
Jiang Wang could even see fleeting images from the flowing space around him…
Some of the images were familiar, landmarks from certain Kaiyuan worlds.
Others, Jiang Wang had never seen before…
Before long, Jiang Wang reached the end of the tunnel.
At that moment, he was incredibly shocked, because as far as he knew, even Zhou Qian didn't possess such spatial traversal abilities.
Especially not something like this, akin to a 'door to anywhere'.
But his shock wasn't over.
The tunnel's final destination was an ancient hall, not very large, but exuding a sense of profound history.
It felt as if this hall had witnessed countless events.
In the center of the hall was an oval wooden table.
Jiang Wang didn't know what material the table was made of, but just a glance at it conjured an image of an enormous tree in his mind…
But before Jiang Wang could examine it closely, the image vanished in a flash.
When he regained his senses, Qian Duoduo was beside him.
"Take a seat anywhere."
Perhaps due to Qian Duoduo's height, he remained in a state of levitation, casually gesturing towards the oval table, indicating that Jiang Wang should choose a chair.
There were 12 chairs around the table.
Based on the illusion of the large tree that flashed in his mind when he glanced at the round table, Jiang Wang was certain that neither the table nor the chairs were ordinary.
He looked back at Qian Duoduo's signature smile.
Smiling slightly, he said politely.
"No, thank you. I'll just stand."
Hearing Jiang Wang's words, the smile on Qian Duoduo's face froze.
Huh? Stand?
That wouldn't do!
He then noticed that Jiang Wang hadn't moved an inch since landing, just standing there.
'Tsk, he's cautious enough.'
"Standing isn't my style of hospitality."
"Then let's see which of these chairs chooses you."
As he spoke, Qian Duoduo revealed a mysterious smile, gently rubbing his fingers together.
"Snap!"
After a crisp sound, the chairs, which had been as lifeless as objects, suddenly seemed to come alive.
The feeling was peculiar; although they were still chairs, it was as if you were seeing individual people…
The chairs swayed slightly, as if sizing up Jiang Wang, then moved closer to each other, as if conversing.
All the chairs were swaying, except for the one at the head of the table.
That chair, after Qian Duoduo snapped his fingers, didn't sway, but exuded an aura of a sovereign, as if it were the supreme ruler of this place.
Although it didn't make any movements, Jiang Wang knew that it was also scrutinizing him.
As the chairs swayed,
some wanted to approach Jiang Wang, but as soon as they left their positions, they seemed to be intimidated by something, hesitating before returning to their original spots.
The other chairs were the same.
Jiang Wang frowned, watching everything unfold before him, finding it incredible.
The chairs' behavior made it seem like a group of people were engaged in serious discussion and deliberation.
What ability did Qian Duoduo possess?
Granting life to inanimate objects?!
Or did these chairs already have life?
Chairs possessing life?!!!
To ensure his senses weren't deceiving him, Jiang Wang continuously scanned each chair, and even the surroundings, with his mental power. Ultimately, he confirmed that these chairs were indeed living beings…
However, these life forms were beyond Jiang Wang's comprehension.
Just then, Qian Duoduo seemed to understand the chairs' conversation, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared…
After a long while, all the chairs gradually calmed down; not a single chair had chosen Jiang Wang.
Now, Qian Duoduo's face completely darkened…
"Impossible…"
He muttered, constantly pinching his fingers.
Just then,
"Creak…"
A creaking sound rang out.
The sound wasn't loud; compared to the swaying of the other chairs, it was merely a soft shuffle in a bustling market.
But neither Jiang Wang nor Qian Duoduo were ordinary people.
Although the sound was faint, it was still captured.
When Qian Duoduo heard the sound, his eyes instantly widened!
His expression seemed to scream 'unbelievable'.
Jiang Wang also looked towards the source of the chair's sound.
His expression was also solemn, because when he first entered this place, he had scanned the entire room, but there was nothing else besides the things in front of him. Even just now, after Qian Duoduo snapped his fingers and he confirmed the life force of these chairs, he scanned again.
He still didn't find anything else.
But now!
In the dark corner in front of him, a dilapidated chair gradually materialized!
Jiang Wang didn't know when it had appeared, nor did he know what it was or why it could shield itself from Jiang Wang's mental power.
But when he saw the broken chair with a missing wooden leg, the splintered wood and charred black marks on the broken leg, he felt an inexplicable sadness.
It wasn't just the one wooden leg.
The other wooden legs weren't in much better condition either. The joints between the chairs were loose or cracked. Even the seat had varying degrees of cuts and damage, and the most severe damage was to the backrest.
The original backrest had been cut in half. The front half of the cut was smooth, as if an axe had been driven horizontally halfway in and then got stuck, and the remaining half had been snapped off.
The protruding splinters and irregular breaks looked shocking…
Thus, a dilapidated chair that could scare the audience in a horror movie.
At this moment, it was slowly moving towards Jiang Wang, each movement emitting a 'creaking' sound…
As if it would fall apart at any second.
Jiang Wang watched, not feeling fear, but even feeling some hardship, like a frail old man hobbling towards Jiang Wang.
With its appearance, all the chairs fell silent, but the chair in the main position exuded a powerful aura that rushed towards the dilapidated chair!
Just as that aura was about to completely crush the dilapidated chair,
suddenly, a figure stood between the two!
It was the cautious Jiang Wang!
He inexplicably took a step forward!
A powerful and profound aura emanated from his body!
Protecting the chair tightly behind him.
Jiang Wang's eyes had turned into the shape of black and white fish, and were slowly rotating like Sharingan.
Behind Jiang Wang, a Taijitu like a disc appeared!
"Buzz!"
With the collision of two energies, a buzzing sound echoed around!
The Qian Duoduo beside him regained his senses in this buzzing sound.
Seeing this scene, he first glanced coldly at the high-ranking main seat, and then looked complicatedly at the Taijitu behind Jiang Wang…
"Snap!"
