Chapter 639 Absorbing the 5th Fragment
Tadella seemed never to have thought about this question.
"Are you planning to end your own life, or go and fight that monster alone to seek death? And what if you can't find the monster?"
Xu Ning looked at Tadella, "Or is it that falcons that are used to following commands will starve to death after losing their masters?"
Tadra's face appeared somewhat unpredictable in the flickering firelight.
"I have no idea."
Xu Ning scratched her chin and laughed, "I don't know. In that situation, I think it's very simple. If you still miss this tribe, gather people and build another Tanit, or you could just call it the Tadra Tribe. You could be the matriarch and get a feel for giving orders to others..."
Tadella shook her head. "I can't do it, and I won't give orders to others."
Xu Ning put his hands behind his head and leaned against the cold cliff wall.
"That would be difficult, but if that day really comes, you can try contacting me, and I'll help you find a new owner, okay?"
Tadella stared at Xu Ning for a long time without saying a word, but in the instant she lowered her head, she nodded as if making a promise.
As the campfire died down, the sun shone again on the gravel, and the cold night transformed once more into a scorching oven.
The final prey, the flying serpents, were said by Tadella to have a special settlement among her tribe.
Although it's easy to find, if you want to go in and hunt flying snakes, you might face an attack from a group of flying snakes, which is very dangerous.
So Tadella's initial idea was to find lone flying snakes around the settlement and lure and kill them using the same methods she used against scorpions.
But as soon as they got nearby, Lilupal exclaimed in surprise.
"My lord, I feel that familiar pain again. There are fragments of my soul nearby..."
Xu Ning hadn't expected to encounter Lilupal's fifth soul fragment here. "Can you sense its location?"
"I can't be sure, mainly because the flying serpent's aura is too turbid, making it impossible for me to judge."
Lilupal thought for a moment, "However, the fact that they regard this place as their settlement must be because my fragments evolved into an oasis, providing them with a suitable environment to live in. I should be able to find my fragments as long as we go deep into the heart of the flying serpent."
Xu Ning turned to look at Tadra and smiled, "It seems we'll have to go in eventually. How about I help you complete this flying serpent trial? Or if you really feel bad about it, I can carefully leave you one to practice on."
Without even thinking, Tadella said, "I'll fight my way in with you."
Xu Ning nodded, "No problem."
For Xu Ning, these flying snakes posed almost no threat.
When a snake learns to prop itself up with its wings and expose all its vitals to its enemies, killing it becomes incredibly satisfying.
When Xu Ning saw the edge of the small oasis in the cave, there were no flying snakes left around.
Having encountered themselves and Tardella, two killing gods, the remaining flying serpents must have fled long ago.
Lilupal found her fragment, but instead of absorbing it hastily as before, she smiled and told Xu Ning to let Belial come out and witness her absorption of the fragment.
She never made such a request, was it because of Tadella?
Was she afraid that when I was lost in thought while sharing memories with her, Tadella would seize the opportunity to attack me?
Although Xu Ning felt that Lilupal's actions were unnecessary, he did not want to hurt either Lilupal or Tadra.
They even called out not only Belial, but also Gifah, euphemistically calling it the ritual of the last two rounds.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lilupal chuckled and quickly drew her own fragments into her body.
It's still the same cycle of power and memory.
In my memory, there was the city of Juer. When the shattered souls began to power the machines, the mindless descendants of the fairies became slaves with boundless power. Everyone thought that the age of man had undoubtedly arrived, but little did they know that everything was under the control of Lilupal.
Xu Ning saw the collapse of the city of Juer again from his memories.
Xu Ning was unsure how to evaluate Lilupar's actions.
However, I find the Red King rather strange. Back then, he sent Lilupal to choose a human king and helped him build the city into what it is today. What kind of outcome did the Red King ultimately want to see?
If Lilupal hadn't run into trouble and everything had proceeded as planned, would the Red King have gotten what he wanted to see?
Probably not.
Given the level of that shepherd boy at the time, he was ultimately unable to lead humanity to a prosperous era, and the world was inevitably plunged into chaos and war, eventually fading into dust.
Ahmar ultimately failed, so He simply abandoned His original plan and left all hope to those who came after Him.
So the legend of the Red King's legacy that has been passed down in the desert is true, and it seems that he did indeed leave himself a lot of good things.
But Xu Ning was becoming increasingly curious about the most crucial plan, what his predecessor and the Crimson King had said.
What kind of crazy plan would it be to have a god decide to give everything to support it a thousand years ago?
But despite his curiosity, Xu Ning wasn't foolish enough to open the golden anchor point in his cave.
I've already experienced the nature of my predecessor once. She doesn't care whether you accept it or not and just blindly forces you to do it. If there's a big pit left there, forcing you to do something you don't want to do, then it will be very uncomfortable.
"Are you alright, my lord? You've been lost in thought for an unusually long time this time."
Lilupal's cheerful voice rang in her ears. Six of the seven pieces of her divine soul had returned to her, and only one more piece was needed to restore all her memories and power. No wonder she was so happy.
Xu Ning opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Tadella.
She seemed somewhat panicked, unconsciously twisting her fingers, looking rather helpless.
Are you worried about yourself?
Xu Ning smiled and comforted her first, "I'm fine, I was just lost in thought."
Hearing Xu Ning speak, Tadella slowly calmed down. "That's good. Ever since that bottle disappeared, the water and vegetation here have withered instantly. Although the environment looks a bit harsh, at least the flying snakes shouldn't be coming back. Um...would you like to rest here a little longer?"
Xu Ning shook his head. "I'm fine. Judging by the time, it's still okay to go back now, otherwise the sun will get very strong in a little while."
