The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

But this big guy is different from ordinary creatures. How can she restore its ability to speak?

Alas, communicating with the Divine Soul is something that should be Yin Jiu You’s specialty, so why had it fallen into her amateur hands?

Ning Xiaoxian concentrated, pondering for a moment before disappearing into the corridor with a flash. The Chi Wen should be waking up soon. She still had some things to take care of before it opened its eyes.

#####

In the corridor, there echoed a piercing roar, which abruptly stopped halfway.

"Phew, another one down." Ning Xiaoxian let out a soft breath, withdrawing her longsword. At her feet lay several mutated lizards collapsed on the ground.

She returned to the underground palace once again, this time transforming from prey into hunter, searching for every living thing she could see. Her luck wasn’t bad, as there happened to be a large group of Mountain Anchors moving together, breaking through the mutated lizards’ defense in the bronze hall and running into the mine to feast on Yunying Stone. She roughly counted; there were more than thirty of them.

For her, capturing these guys was naturally no problem. Throwing out the Devouring Demon Vine Meat Ball, which turned into a tentacled monster, could bind more than ten large ants at once. The Devouring Demon Vine is a very special plant, not considered a demon, so it didn’t feel uncomfortable in this underground palace. Instead, after absorbing the Evil Qi, it felt quite at home.

The remaining Mountain Anchors were quickly dealt with, and upon exiting the mine, she encountered three or four mutated lizards that had followed the Mountain Anchors. These creatures were enormous, and up close, they looked more like a mountain of flesh, truly perfect—food.

Mutated lizards are accustomed to living in dispersed territories, so after about an additional half an hour, she captured four more mutated lizards.

The amount should be sufficient. She put these spoils into the Sea Bag and thought to herself.

The underground palace was very unfriendly to her, and when Ning Xiaoxian felled the last lizard, she was slightly breathless. Now, she no longer used her own strength for battle but rather the Divine Power that Changtian transferred to her before approaching the Teleportation Array.

This Divine Power was very pure and vast; evidently, Changtian had transferred a great amount of Divine Power to her at once to prevent any accidents. Since they shared the same source of power, she had no obstacles in using it.

But no matter how much Divine Power there was, it had its limits. The more intensely she moved in the underground palace, the faster the Divine Power was consumed.

So, the focus was on conservation.

When she went out again from the corridor of the Nangying Stone Chamber, the Chi Wen had indeed awakened. This big guy had been severely battered today; though it had eaten some "Yabala" to pad its belly, it had been heavily injured by Boss Kun and Yin Jiu You. It lacked the energy to roam around and could only rely on the Dragon Child’s physique to slowly heal.

When Ning Xiaoxian entered, it was staring blankly with its eyes open.

What do madmen usually think about? Ning Xiaoxian had never studied this kind of question before. She just silently stepped across the small sandy beach, walking towards the Chi Wen.

When the Dragon Child saw her, its eyes filled with blood again.

Even an iron body couldn’t withstand such repeated provocations. The Chi Wen was actually too tired to move, but the first two humanoid creatures it encountered today had been anything but friendly, and now here came a third.

The Dragon Child’s pride forced it to raise its head again, preparing to fight once more.

Ning Xiaoxian walked on the waves, silently taking out her Dagger. Although she sympathized with this big guy, to carry out her plan, she first needed to defeat it convincingly. Despite how pitiful the Chi Wen looked at the moment, barely clinging to life, it had survived in the underground palace for so long, and its recovery ability far surpassed hers.

Not to mention, the Divine Power she possessed was "borrowed," so how much longer could it sustain her?

This time, it likewise had to be swift and decisive.

She no longer hesitated, her toes lightly touching the ground, her graceful figure flashing out almost before the Chi Wen could react, closing in on its right gill.

The first two people the Chi Wen encountered hadn’t been this quick. It was unaccustomed for a moment, but its instincts remained. Extending its right fin, it slapped towards her. Its massive weight meant the right fin alone was fifteen meters long and ten meters wide; when it churned in the water, it created a violent current, trying to push her forward.

At the same time, the Chi Wen was already turning its head, opening its huge mouth forward. If she were pushed forward by the current, she might fall into that huge mouth.

Of course, she wouldn’t let herself face such an embarrassing situation. Before the water wall hit her, the Dagger was already stabbed into the gill slit like a shutter, anchoring her firmly on the slick fish body. No matter how the Chi Wen twisted, it couldn’t throw her off.
