The third node was completely different from the previous two nodes. Although it was also a palace, it was unimaginably huge. Furthermore, below the palace was not the ground, but an entire lake. Above the lake, there was a jade bridge.
The jade bridges were all half-moon arches. There were thirteen of them, and they spanned the entire palace. They connected to the thirteen teleporters on the other side of the palace.
The thirteen bridges were made of different materials. Some were made of white jade, while others were made of jade. The thirteen bridges were made of thirteen different types of jade.
On the railings of the bridges, there were many different statues. Some looked like ghosts, some looked like angels, some looked like monsters, and some looked like gentle animals.
Han Sen was looking at a jade bridge that looked like purple crystal. On the railings, there were many weird statues that looked like ghosts. But that wasn't what attracted Han Sen's attention.
Han Sen looked at the top of the purple crystal bridge. It was the center of the bridge. There was a ten-meter-tall ghost statue there. It was squatting on the bridge pillar. Its wings were folded, and its ghost eyes were looking down. It looked like it was looking for a target to eat.
One of its hands was reaching forward. Its fingernails were very sharp, and they were purple and black. It was holding a person. It was a woman that Han Sen recognized.
"Yisha!" Han Sen almost screamed.
The purple crystal ghost statue was holding Yisha. Although her body was in its hands, her face was exposed. It was frighteningly pale, and there was blood in the corner of her mouth. She looked like she was unconscious. Her hair was all white.
Even so, Han Sen recognized her. He was sure it was Yisha. Even though she was unconscious and in such a bad environment, her face was not different from normal. She looked like a queen, and that was something no one could learn.
"Why is Yisha here?
Wasn't she eaten by Overbearing? "
Han Sen was shocked. He thought of something, and he thought to himself, "Is this the palace on Overbearing's back?"
Thinking of this possibility, Han Sen was even more shocked. "No wonder the Sacred Leader wasn't afraid of his treasure being stolen. He is very generous."
"My Queen!"
Han Sen shouted at Yisha, who was still on the bridge. He hoped to wake her up. He could tell that she wasn't dead yet.
But Han Sen used his soundwave to call her a few times. Yisha didn't respond.
"You don't have to call her. Even if a deified elite called her, she wouldn't be able to hear you," Mister White said.
"Mister, please." Han Sen bowed to Mister White.
Mister White pointed at the jade bridge and said, "These thirteen bridges represent thirteen different powers. If you walk on one of them, you will be trapped by the power of that bridge. This is a test that the Sacred Leader left behind. We have to choose the right bridge if we want to cross it safely."
"What power does that bridge represent?" Han Sen asked, looking at the purple jade bridge that Yisha was on.
"If I am not mistaken, the evil ghost statue on the bridge is the legendary Hell Ghost. And that evil ghost statue is the Hell Ghost King. It represents the Hell Ghost power," Mister White said, looking at the evil ghost statue.
"Is the Hell power a death power?" Han Sen asked.
Mister White shook his head and said, "The Hell is said to be the realm of the dead. But in reality, the Hell isn't a death power. It is a branch of space and time.
You can probably think of it this way. The Underworld is another space-time that intersects with our world. The space-time axis there is different from ours, so the power of the Underworld refers to space-time, and not death or darkness or anything like that. "
"How do we save her?" Han Sen asked.
Mister White shook his head and said, "Aside from breaking through, there is nothing else I can do. Space and time are the most mysterious and difficult powers to control. The legends say that the Sacred Leader used space and time powers. Knife was unlucky. She chose the jade bridge with space and time powers."
Han Sen frowned. If Yisha had failed to break through the jade bridge, then it would be even more difficult for him to succeed.
After all, he was just a Marquise. He wasn't as strong as Yisha, who was half-deified.
Han Sen looked at Yisha, who was being held by the evil ghost statue. When he looked closer, he noticed that the claws of the evil ghost statue had dug into Yisha's flesh. Blood was oozing out, and it seeped into the statue's claws. It dyed the statue's fingers red.
If this continues, it won't be long before Yisha's blood runs dry and she dies.
Because of the Hell Bridge's power, Han Sen couldn't feel Yisha's lifeforce. But he could tell that she didn't have much time left.
Mister White kept looking at the thirteen jade bridges. He kept calculating. He was trying to find which jade bridge was the safest way to cross the bridge.
But soon, Mister White's face looked glum. "These thirteen jade bridges are all dead ends. They all have a scary power protecting them. Not a single jade bridge can be crossed safely. Does Sacred Leader not plan on letting anyone cross this place alive?"
"No, there has to be a way."
Mister White's forehead was dripping with sweat. His fingers were flashing with light symbols. He kept calculating.
Han Sen kept looking at the Purple Jade Bridge. The Purple-Eye Butterfly in his right eye was spinning fast. He was analyzing the structure of the Purple Jade Bridge.
Han Sen knew that Yisha was arrogant, but she wasn't stupid. There was no reason for her to choose the most dangerous path.
So, Han Sen believed that Yisha had chosen the Hell Bridge for a reason. He just didn't know why she had failed.
The Purple-Eye Butterfly's four purple petals kept spinning, but there was a limit to what it could analyze.
The Purple Jade Bridge was surrounded by a strange and powerful power.
Han Sen could only see that it was a very mysterious sequence of substance chains.
It was like the substance chains in the bird's nest.
It wasn't something that Han Sen couldn't understand.
He could see it, but he couldn't understand what kind of power it was.
"That's right. It's that one. If we cross that bridge, we can survive." Mister White suddenly pointed at a jade bridge. He looked happy.
Han Sen looked where Mister White was pointing. He saw a black jade bridge. The bridge had a strange bird statue that looked like a raven. At the top of the bridge, there was a giant statue of a strange bird. It sat on a stone pillar, coldly looking down at the jade bridge.
