Chapter 248 The Snow Melted
Xiaoxue's body suddenly appeared at the entrance of the black hole, her limbs growing wildly, and the Dream Weaving Vine spun into a net. Her head slammed into the net, but she was immediately launched forward, rushing towards the gap that had just been torn open.
Illuminated by the light from the black hole and struck by the head, Xiaoxue Mengzhiteng's body disappeared.
The little beast stopped tearing at the corpse, its figure appearing at the edge of the crevice, biting down on the oncoming head and crushing it, causing the mask to fall off.
The Nine Realms landed beside the little silver dragon, and lightning bolts shot out, striking the entangled corpse directly. The corpse could not withstand the force and shattered.
A nine-headed bird, bathed in rosy light, spread its wings and soared from one of its heads, charging towards the crevice once more with a resolute air. The small beast swung its claw, piercing the bird's illusory body, but the golden light emanating from the bird pierced its claw, causing purple blood to flow. The small beast roared in anger, yet refused to release its injured claw.
Ning Xiaoxi took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy was directly thrown into the gap to begin filling the spatial gap.
Amidst the shattered corpse, a crimson figure emerged, radiating intense heat, and lunged towards the crevice, grabbing the head.
Nine Domains shuddered, and a black dragon flew out from the Dream Weaving Vine puppet, appearing suddenly at the edge of the shrinking gap to meet the crimson figure.
A massive amount of spiritual energy surged within the cave, continuously replenishing the little beast, but the Nine Realms Dream Weaving Vine's body could not receive this replenishment.
The mermaid's aloof figure crashed onto the spiritual source, and the floodwaters poured down from mid-air, drenching the crimson figure and slowing its impact.
The nine-headed bird spread its wings with all its might, tearing its own body apart and spraying hot blood as it rushed toward the narrow opening, enveloped in golden light.
"Roar!"
The little beast roared, a line lit up on its forehead, and then burst open, its massive body swelling up to fill the entire cave.
"Ah!" Ning Xiaoxi screamed in agony, the excruciating pain of her body feeling like it was being torn apart made her want to faint, but she couldn't faint. She had to keep the cave balanced and prevent it from collapsing. The little red fish and Zhu Rong Tongzi in the Five Elements Formation were frantically pacing around, but Ning Xiaoxi wouldn't let them out. No matter how much the floodwaters and flames roared, she held them firmly within the formation.
The small beast, now grown into a giant, slapped down the nine-headed bird. The slap crushed the crimson figure, shattering the head it had been holding, and its majestic, violent aura caused the black dragon, the little silver dragon, and the mermaid to fall onto its body with a series of crackling sounds.
The nine-headed bird let out a sharp cry of resentment, its body gleaming with golden light. A phantom figure curled into a small ball, glowing with golden light, trying to squeeze into the giant beast's palm.
The crimson figure coalesced into a strange rune, emanating a dark, eerie light, and launched an attack on the giant beast's palm.
The beast's claws snapped shut, seizing the golden ball and the runes. The golden light even pierced the skin of its palms. The claws snapped shut, and the golden ball and runes collided in the palms. In the energy exchange, deathly energy filled the air, the golden light melted away, the runes scattered, and the two figures struggled and disappeared.
The rune began to condense again on the giant beast's forehead, and its body gradually shrank, returning to its previous appearance.
The black dragon swayed and burrowed back into the Dreamweaver Vine's body. The little silver dragon, carrying the mermaid, staggered back to the Dragon Mine.
"puff!"
Ning Xiaoxi couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, and finally fainted spectacularly.
A cool breeze blew by, and Ning Xiaoxi opened her eyes. She saw a bright moon hanging in the sky. There were no stars, but a dark crack ran through the moon, as if it were strung together as a necklace.
Why did the sky crack open?
【Xiao Xi!】
Ning Xiaoxi turned her head but didn't see Tuanzi. Her head still ached, and some chaotic images flashed through her mind.
【Xiao Xi!】
Yes, I'm awake.
He touched his forehead and rubbed his temples. His body ached a bit. He swayed as he sat up, and when he looked down, he was stunned.
The ground was covered in dust, the surrounding spirit crystal palace was gone, and there were scattered coffin fragments and two scattered white masks.
Nine Domains' limp and broken body, eyes tightly closed, lay limply on the ground like a small beast, with a broken pink bead beside it.
Ning Xiaoxi crawled over on all fours, picked up the scattered, broken pink beads, but there was nothing there. "Xiaoxue?"
There was no response, nothing at all.
Gathering the fragments of the bead in her left hand, she stumbled and crawled to Jiuyu's side. Only her face remained unchanged; her hands, feet, and body had already taken on the form of vines. "My lord?" Her choked voice could barely utter those two words.
She draped Jiuyu's soft body over her left arm, then turned to look at the little beast. In her mind, the invincible little beast was now limp, its one slightly open eye revealing deep pity. She struggled to lift the little beast's fluffy body with her right hand, tears unconsciously streaming down her face.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
He frantically gathered all the spiritual crystals and spiritual power, forming three torrents that flowed into his hands, arms, and bosom.
The spiritual energy passed by but did not penetrate. Whether it was in your hands, on your arm, or in your arms, you could not absorb any of it. It was like a draft that blew right through you.
Ning Xiaoxi felt an unbearable heartache, unable to even cry, and could only let her tears flow freely. What was wrong with her?
The moonlight fell, its soft glow enveloping Ning Xiaoxi and gradually calming her heartache.
Ning Xiaoxi looked at the fragments of the pink bead in her palm, stretched her arm, revealing her left wrist, where the icy blue snowflake mark was gone. Tears silently streamed down her face again, but the icy feeling was gone. Only broken fragments remained of Xiaoxue; not a trace of the Dream Weaving Vine remained.
Her snowflakes really melted.
She curled up, clutching the shards in her hands, and hugged Jiuyu and the little beast tightly in her arms. She felt like her whole body was about to break apart; it was really too painful!
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Xiaoxi opened her eyes again, looked at Jiuyu and the little beast in her arms, and struggled to sit up.
Carrying them back to the three mulberry trees beside the main hall, I placed the little beast in its den and stroked the wound on its palm that had stopped bleeding. Wounds cut by the golden light of merit are not so easy to heal.
Let Jiuyu lean against the little nest, comb its messy long hair, straighten its robes, and cover its tangled vines. Place Xiaoxue next to Jiuyu's hands and cover them with a cloak.
Staggering to the chest of the dragon vein, she placed her hand on the spirit crystal, which throbbed with a "thump, thump" sound. Amidst the flickering light and shadow, the images of the little silver dragon and the mermaid falling flashed back. Looking at the two almost vanishing dotted figures, Ning Xiaoxi smiled bitterly. They're still here, that's good!
Inside the Spirit Source Hut, Spirit Source was not there, but a dozen or so small illusory pythons were still lying on the spirit crystal.
Remembering how she had mobilized the spiritual energy earlier, Ning Xiaoxi looked up at the bright moon in the sky and smiled sadly.
