Eerie

"Collection Hall?" Su Bai's heart skipped a beat.

This place sounds rather special; the scroll of the Blood River is not commonly seen.

It may be somewhat related to the Blood River Secret Realm.

Where is the Collection Hall?

The little girl gently opened the iron gate, then pointed her finger at a building in the distance.

The building occupies a large area and is spherical, making it stand out somewhat among the tall buildings.

Su Bai looked in the direction the little girl pointed, nodded slightly, and indicated that he understood.

He patted the little girl's head and said to her, "Thanks."

Then, Su Bai patted his Storage Bag and took out some food from it.

These foods include Roast Chicken, fresh fish, braised pork knuckle, and so on, all of which are delicious and appetizing dishes.

When Su Bai was bored during his cultivation, he would take some out to have a snack.

This food is enough to sustain these children for a long time, Su Bai thought.

"Thank you, Uncle!" The three children's eyes lit up when they saw so much food, and their faces were filled with gratitude.

The somewhat unfamiliar "sir" address towards Su Bai was transformed into the more intimate "uncle" at this moment.

Su Bai looked at the children with a faint smile. If they could find an exit, perhaps he could take them away from this Collapsed World.

The Storage Bag has a constant space, so the Roast Chicken taken out is still as fresh and delicious as ever, emitting an enticing aroma.

The three children couldn't wait to start eating, and they ate with great relish, clearly having not tasted such delicious food in a long time.

Just then, Su Bai's gaze suddenly sharpened.

To his surprise, the first batch of food he had taken out earlier had already spoiled in such a short time.

Especially that pot of water, which was clearly more than half full, had completely dried up in the short time he was speaking!

The speed was simply beyond imagination.

Su Bai was certain that he did not sense any energy fluctuations during this time.

The way the Three Children ate was even more bizarre. They would take a bite from one child, nibble at another, and eat from here and there, as if they were trying to make the most of every moment.

This kind of eating is not only extremely wasteful, but it's also completely unlike the behavior of a child who has been trapped in a post-apocalyptic world for a long time.

"Does this mean that in this world, due to the collapse of the Basic Law, even food and water cannot be preserved?"

Su Bai fell into deep thought.

It's highly likely; in such a collapsing world, anything strange can happen.

Su Bai's gaze remained fixed on the food, never looking away.

Sure enough, just as he had expected, the food that had been eating for only a short Three Children began to turn black.

Moreover, the rate of corruption was extremely fast. In just a few moments, the food had completely transformed from a delicious delicacy into a pool of nauseating filth!

"This..." Su Bai's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

He finally began to truly grasp the bizarre nature of this collapsing world, while the Three Children seemed to have long been accustomed to it all, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"Thank you for the delicious food, Uncle," one of the children said to Su Bai with a big smile. The other two children chimed in, "We haven't had such delicious food in a long time!"

Su Bai looked at the three innocent children in front of him, and his heart suddenly tightened.

He suddenly Consciousness, "If food cannot be preserved, how have these three children survived all these years?"

The moment the thought crossed Su Bai's mind, he Consciousness something was wrong.

Just as he was about to ask a question, something unexpected happened.

The Three Children vanished from Su Bai's sight as if they had never existed.

There was no sign of movement, no fluctuation of transmission, not even the slightest warning.

Su Bai stared in astonishment at the empty space before him, completely unable to comprehend how this had been done.

The moment he realized something was wrong, the Three Children vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Meanwhile, the filth on the ground, which had been emitting a foul stench, shrank at a visible rate until it finally turned into a handful of Yellow Earth, lying there quietly.

"Holy crap?" Su Bai was stunned and cursed inwardly. Even though he had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm, he couldn't help but utter a curse from shock at what had just happened.

"This is too eerie! We shouldn't stay here any longer; leaving now is the best course of action!"

Su Bai a chill run down his spine. Without hesitation, he summoned his flying sword and sped away like a meteor, disappearing from the eerie high-rise in the blink of an eye.

We need to find an exit as soon as possible. Let's go check out the Collection Hall first.

Su Bai paused briefly in the air to determine the direction, then steered his flying sword toward the Collection Hall.

With Su Bai's speed on his Sword Flight, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the location of the Collection Hall.

Su Bai did not rush in rashly, but instead controlled his flying sword to circle the Collection Hall once, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

In the end, Su Bai decided to enter the Collection Hall from the front. He slowly descended to the ground, where the Collection Hall was half-closed, seemingly waiting for his arrival.

Su Bai took a deep breath, gathered the Spiritual Power within his body, and transformed it into a giant Spiritual Power Hand, carefully pulling open the slightly decaying door.

"Creak--" As the door slowly opened, a musty, decaying smell rushed out like a flood bursting its banks, directly into Su Bai's mouth and nose.

Su Bai frowned slightly, quickly held his breath, and simultaneously unleashed his Divine Sense, extending it like a spider web into the Collection Hall, trying to find out what was inside.

"These artifacts are almost completely rotten..." Su Bai's Divine Sense swept over the artifacts in the museum, and he couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his heart. The Blood River Painting was probably extremely difficult to find as well.

Su Bai did not give up exploring because of this; at present, this is the only possible Secret Realm Entrance.

Su Bai composed himself and stepped into the Collection Hall.

The Collection Hall decaying and dark.

Apart from the main building, almost all the items Collection Hall have been destroyed.

He carefully sensed any possible Spatial Fluctuation around him, not letting go of any clue that might hide the Secret Realm Entrance.

"Hmm? This is..."

Unable to find the Secret Realm Entrance, Su Bai discovered another Human Child hiding in the Collection Hall.

The child, with yellow hair and skin, was huddled in a corner, eyes closed as if resting.

Su Bai frowned slightly, looking at the child's appearance, when suddenly an idea struck him.
