Chapter 192
"Hey? Little guy, what do you want to say?" Lu Xuanxin stared at the furry, lively little guy in front of him, full of doubts. The little guy had short hands and feet, but his movements were extremely agile. His pair of black and shiny eyes seemed to be able to speak. At this moment, he was gesticulating with his hands and feet, as if he wanted to express something.
"Squeak!" The little guy suddenly screamed, flapped his wings, and flew inside like lightning. After flying for a distance, he looked back at Xuanxin, and his eyes clearly signaled her to follow.
Although Xuan Xin was full of doubts, she couldn't help but follow him out of curiosity. When she got to the front, she found an empty pool. Wasn't this the place where she had collected the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk? The little guy had already run to the edge of the pool and was looking back at her, his eyes full of expectation.
Xuan Xin stood beside the pool, her eyes swept across the opposite wall, the wall was as smooth as a mirror, as if it could reflect the purity of a person's heart. The little guy stopped in front of the wall, and kept turning his head to squeak at Xuan Xin, the sound was crisp and pleasant, as if calling her over.
Xuan Xin's heart moved, and she looked around carefully, then she jumped lightly, jumped lightly across the pool, and stood firmly on the tip of a stalagmite that stretched out diagonally. Her movements were graceful and calm, like a balloon floating in the air, light yet steady.
"Squeak!" Seeing Xuan Xin coming, the little guy screamed again, his voice full of excitement. Then, he slammed into the mirror-like wall. Xuan Xin widened his eyes, ready to catch the little guy who was knocked back, but unexpectedly, the little guy did not bounce back after hitting the wall, but disappeared without a trace!
At this moment, the wall suddenly became like the surface of water, rippling in circles, and then the little guy disappeared completely. Xuan Xin was shocked and looked around quickly, but she didn't see any trace of the formation. She reached out and touched the wall, which felt smooth and cool, and was indeed solid.
Xuan Xin was even more curious and decided to test it with her spiritual power. So, she used her spiritual power and hit the wall with force. Sure enough, her palm passed through the wall just like passing through the water, and then she felt a strong suction force pulling her in.
Xuan Xin stumbled a few steps and almost fell. When she stood firm and looked up, she was stunned. This place is simply a fairyland! Birds are singing and flowers are blooming. The spiritual energy is so rich that it turns into mist, but this mist sinks to the ground instead of floating in the air. Looking down, there is thick fog under your feet and you can't see the ground at all. There is also a strong medicinal fragrance in the air, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if all the troubles have disappeared at this moment.
"Squeak!" A little guy's cry came from not far away. Xuan Xin came back to his senses and walked over to the sound. This place was like an endless plain, with no mountains blocking the view, and there was a gorgeous sea of flowers everywhere. Red, yellow, pink, purple, all kinds of colors of flowers competed with each other, beautiful beyond words. Each flower was like a carefully crafted work of art, exuding a charming fragrance.
Xuan Xin didn't know where the little guy was going to take her, nor how big this place was. She only felt that she had walked for a long time before she came to a clear pool. The water in the pool was as clear as jade, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the sea of flowers around it, which was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.
"Squeak! Squeak!" the little guy cried again, and then jumped into the pool without hesitation. Its figure swam flexibly in the water, like a happy little fish.
"Do you want me to take a bath?" Xuan Xin thought so, but her intuition told her that it was not the case. However, she jumped into the pool without hesitation. As soon as she entered the water, she felt a warm force enveloping her body, "Wow! So comfortable!" The water temperature of the pool was moderate, and it seemed to have the effect of cleansing the soul. However, Xuan Xin had already cleansed her marrow, so she did not feel any special changes.
Suddenly, she felt something under her feet pulling her down. She followed the force and dived down, and saw the little guy pulling her deeper. Its eyes were full of determination and expectation, as if it was leading her to explore an unknown world.
"Hasn't reached the bottom yet?" Xuan Xin thought so, but she continued to dive with the little guy. How strange! The little guy was so small, but the force pulling her was so strong that Xuan Xin was very surprised.
There were many spirit fish swimming around along the way, occasionally touching her body, as if playing with her. Those spirit fish were colorful and varied in shape, each emitting a faint glow, like an elf in the water. The bottom of the water was full of crystal-like crystals, glittering, with a rich spiritual energy that was hundreds of times stronger than the top-grade spirit stones. Those crystals sparkled in the sun, like gems scattered on the bottom of the water.
"What are these treasures?" Xuan Xin was even more confused, but she couldn't help but put them all into the storage bag. Then, she saw the little guy standing on a stick as thick as a baby's arm. The stick looked like it was made of a very special material that she had never seen before. A faint light was flowing on the stick, and it seemed to contain infinite power.
"Squeak!" The little guy jumped on the stick and looked very happy. Xuanxin thought it must be a treasure and wanted to take it. But she tried several times but failed. The stick seemed to be rooted and did not move at all.
She used her spiritual power and tried her best to pull out the stick, but still failed. "Why is it so heavy?" Xuan Xin stamped her feet in anger, but still couldn't do anything about it. She looked at the little guy helplessly, and the little guy also stared at her with round eyes, as if he was also confused about why he couldn't pull it out.
Suddenly, the little guy pounced on Xuanxin's palm and scratched her finger with its sharp claws. Xuanxin only felt a pain on her fingertips, and a drop of bright red blood dripped onto the stick. At that moment, the stick suddenly shone brightly, and thousands of colorful clouds bloomed from the stick and rushed into the sky. Then, the bottom of the pool began to shake, and the water in the pool became turbulent.
Xuan Xin was holding the little guy, being tossed around by the waves like she was on a lonely boat. She tried to steady herself but it was in vain. Fortunately, her clothes had a protective effect and she was not injured, but the squeezing force still made her feel very scared. Her hair was also entangled in the water plants, and it was as messy as seaweed and swaying with the water.
"Buzz! Buzz!" The stick suddenly made a deafening roar, vibrating more and more violently, as if it would explode at any time. Xuan Xin wanted to use the water force to float up, but was pulled by a strong suction force and dragged straight to the bottom of the pool.
"Ah——" Xuan Xin screamed in fear, her voice seemed so small and weak in the turbulent water. She hugged the little guy tightly, her heart filled with fear and anxiety. She didn't know what kind of treasure this stick was, and why it caused such violent vibrations and changes. She just hoped that all this would end as soon as possible, so that she could return to the familiar world.
Lu Xuanxin struggled with all her might, but the harder she struggled, the stronger the suction became. She felt like paddling in the rough sea, but was just spinning on the crest of the wave, unable to escape. Her heartbeat was like a drum, and every beat was accompanied by a sharp pain, as if something was tearing at her soul.
"boom!"
Xuan Xin's body suddenly collided with the stick, hitting her right in the middle of her chest. The pain was so severe that she almost fainted. It was an indescribable pain, like being burned by fire or pierced by ice. In panic, she struggled even more violently, waving her hands wildly and kicking her feet hard, but all her efforts were like hitting cotton, with no effect.
"This power is too terrifying. I am no match for it." Xuan Xin thought desperately. All her struggles seemed so powerless in front of that strange power. Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, as if she was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand and could not break free.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, the stick seemed to come alive and pierced Xuanxin's body. She felt as if she was picked up by a huge needle. Time seemed to freeze. The strange force suddenly disappeared, and the water in the pond returned to calm. An indescribable coldness spread from her chest and quickly swept through her whole body.
Xuan Xin slowly lowered her head and saw the stick stuck in her chest. Blood was pouring out like a gorgeous sunset, but was greedily absorbed by the stick. Her eyes were full of fear and confusion. She didn't understand why this stick had such a strange power. The little guy in her arms disappeared in the struggle, leaving only an empty embrace and endless loss.
She reached out to grab the stick, trying to break free, but once she touched it, she felt like she was being sucked by a magnet and couldn't break free at all. Her fingers gripped the surface of the stick tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, but the stick didn't move at all, as if it had merged with her body.
"Is God going to kill me?" Xuan Xin wailed in her heart, her face as pale as paper. She felt her blood being sucked out bit by bit, flowing into the stick, and her life was fading away bit by bit. Her heart was filled with resentment and despair, she didn't want to die like this, she still had too many things to do, too many grievances to resolve.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the time when the little guy scratched her with his sharp claws. She didn't care at that time, but now that she was seriously injured, she began to doubt: "Is my protective clothing ineffective, or is this stick and the little guy have powers that I don't know?" Her heart was full of doubts and confusion, and she didn't understand why she had encountered such a disaster.
As time went by, Xuan Xin's consciousness began to blur, and hallucinations followed one after another. She seemed to have returned to the modern world and saw familiar relatives and friends. She saw her parents waving at her and her master smiling at her. She didn't understand why her previous heartache could heal on its own, but now it was so powerless. She wanted to grasp those illusions, but they shattered like bubbles.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, a powerful force suddenly surged into her heart. A radiant glow enveloped her and the stick tightly. It was a warm and familiar force, as if some mysterious power hidden in her body had been stimulated. The stick instantly turned into a fine needle, sank into her wound, and then disappeared.
Miraculously, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xuan Xin fell to the bottom of the pond. Although her blood color gradually recovered, her body was still weak and dizzy, and she almost fainted. She felt the fire of her life burning again, and the power flowed through her body, warming every cell of her.
She didn't care about anything else, and quickly took out the blood-recovering pill and swallowed it. She kicked her feet hard, and with the last bit of strength, she slowly floated upwards. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: leave here as soon as possible, and never want to see the strange stick and the disappeared little guy again. Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, and she wanted to escape from this place, escape from this strange and dangerous world.
Finally, Xuan Xin rushed out of the water in a panic. She looked extremely scary, her face was as pale as a ghost, her eyes were empty, and her hair was tangled with waterweed and broken leaves. She stood up panting, sat cross-legged, and began to practice qigong to heal her wounds. Her heart was filled with determination and resolve. She wanted to survive and uncover the secrets of this place.
The effect of the blood-recovering pill began to take effect, and her complexion gradually regained its rosy color, and her breathing became much smoother. Then, a strong spiritual energy surged in her body, gathering into a thin cocoon membrane that wrapped her up. It was a warm and comfortable feeling, as if she had returned to her mother's arms.
As time went by, the scenery on the plain changed. The spiritual mist gradually dissipated, and the originally bright flowers lost their luster and became shriveled. However, Xuanxin didn't care about these changes. She only cared about her injuries and how to leave here. Finally one day, the cocoon membrane broke and the mist dissipated, revealing a girl with skin as white as snow and eyebrows as beautiful as a painting - Lu Xuanxin. She was surrounded by a faint glow, like a dream, beautiful and suffocating.
