Chapter 184 Received Hand Cramp
Chapter 184 Received Hand Cramp
[The Kunpeng went extinct in ancient times, but I didn't expect there to be Kunpeng relics here.] Tuanzi followed Ning Xiaoxi and saw the buildings and sculptures hidden deep in the sea as the mermaid swam.
The mermaid stopped in front of the enormous Kunpeng statue in the center of the ruins, while the little silver dragon hid tightly, refusing to show its face. The black bead also avoided facing the Kunpeng.
The little mermaid boldly reached out her chubby little hand to touch the Kunpeng statue and even patted it.
I know that the Kunpeng has two forms, but here it doesn't transform into a bird.
The Kunpeng was too enormous; neither land nor sea could support its free flight. They extinct themselves, never to reproduce, and were completely wiped out before the rise of the demon and monster races.
Thankfully, it's extinct, otherwise we could have just given up.
That creature feeds directly on dragons; neither demon nor monster can truly define it. If it isn't eradicated, this world will no longer be able to contain it.
There's no food left.
In the beginning of time, many strange beasts existed alongside the heavens and earth. These were not demons; demons were merely heretics! Therefore, the human race emerged to uphold this world.
The mermaid led Ning Xiaoxi around the Kunpeng statue, traversing the deep-sea ruins. Looking down from above, the ruins seemed grand and expansive; now, walking close to the structures, they could better appreciate the vibrant colors of the walls and the magnificence of the arches. Buried in the deep sea for countless ages, these structures had maintained their complete form—it was truly incredible.
The mermaid swam very fast in the sea, and later stopped controlling its speed to let Ning Xiaoxi see the buildings, instead accelerating away.
When they entered the mine this time, all they found were mountains of spirit crystals.
Outside the Spirit Crystal Sands, Spirit Crystal Mountains were piled up one after another. They would move them when they wanted to, and keep piling them up when they didn't want to.
When they got tired of packing up, they took out the tent to rest.
After Ning Xiaoxi took out the tent four times, the entire Spirit Crystal Mountain was finally harvested.
Looking at the dazzling light before her, Ning Xiaoxi realized for the first time that having too much wealth could also be a troublesome thing.
The little mermaid turned to look at Ning Xiaoxi, then at the square platforms made of spirit crystals in front of her, arranged in neat rows. Even looking up, she couldn't see the top. She stretched out her little hand again and placed it on a square platform beside her.
"sieve!"
The square platform appeared in the cave, placed neatly at the foot of the mountain.
Ning Xiaoxi looked at the little mermaid in surprise, noticing its proud little expression. A demon pet could have this function? Then she would let the little guy help her collect it.
The little mermaid understood her thoughts and, sensing her intentions, quickly clapped her hands on the square platform, one after another, circling the mountain peak.
As she was putting things away, the little mermaid's hands suddenly stopped moving, and her big eyes blinked repeatedly.
A wave of sadness washed over Ning Xiaoxi. She bent down, picked up the little mermaid, and walked around the square platform in front of her.
The square platforms collected before were all solid, but the one in front of me is hollow, like a large box, with countless boxes filled with beads of various colors.
The little mermaid pointed to the box in front of her, and Ning Xiaoxi carried it over. The beads inside the box were all crimson, and each bead contained a faint demonic power. The little mermaid lay down beside the spirit crystal box, gazing longingly at the beads.
It's a demon core.
Ning Xiaoxi felt a chill run down her spine. So many boxes, so many beads—how many demon cores were there? How many demons were there?
Holding the baby mermaid, she took a few steps back; she didn't want to accept these things.
The little mermaid looked at Ning Xiaoxi with a puzzled expression.
"Xiao Hong, we can't accept this." Let's take another step back.
The little mermaid's chubby hands were pointing straight at the boxes.
When the Demon Emperor was slain, his demon guards were almost entirely wiped out. When the humans cleaned up the battlefield, they only found countless demon corpses, with very few demon cores. It turns out that the demon cores had been taken out by Zhu Jiuyin.
Ning Xiaoxi, carrying the little mermaid, weaved through the spirit crystal boxes, dodging wave after wave of demonic energy.
[Whoever put it here has nothing to do with me. Anyway, it's just a pill, not a demon anymore, so there's no need to kill it again.]
The little mermaid stopped struggling and obediently clung to Ning Xiaoxi's neck. The various demon cores around them emitted demonic power of varying strengths, colors, and auras.
[Zhu Jiuyin has left. This place can't hold out much longer. If the barrier breaks, these demon cores will flow into the sea. If a sea beast with demon blood obtains these cores, it can break through and become a demon itself.]
Ning Xiaoxi stopped. [What does that mean?]
【receive!】
【No!】 Ning Xiaoxi felt that the few demon cores in her cave were enough, and she looked at the densely packed demon cores.
"Gurgle!"
Ning Xiaoxi turned her head, and a demon core rolled out of a box behind her.
He quickly stepped forward, stepping on a spirit crystal to peer into the box.
Then they saw the little silver dragon rolling around in the demon cores, happily swallowing them one by one. It turned its head and met Ning Xiaoxi's eyes.
The little mermaid peeked inside, mimicking Ning Xiaoxi's actions.
The little silver dragon looked at Ning Xiaoxi with one eye and the little mermaid with the other. Its tongue deftly curled up a demon core and swallowed it, then it went on to curl up the next one. Despite its transparent body, the demon cores it swallowed instantly assimilated and disappeared, and the scales on the silver dragon's body began to appear and disappear intermittently.
"Gurgle!"
On the other side, the sound of a demon core rolling down could be heard.
Ning Xiaoxi turned her head, and demon cores were constantly overflowing from the two boxes next to her.
Which one is inside?
[The Mermaid.]
What about that one?
[The black bead. But watch it, don't let it take shape. If it dares to take shape, kill it.]
Ning Xiaoxi's face darkened. She pointed at the mermaid and then at the silver dragon. "What are those? Isn't that human form?"
They do not possess demon cores.
Ning Xiaoxi felt like vomiting blood. The black bead only contained a pill. The implication was that anything with a pill and a physical form should be killed. She understood.
Just as Ning Xiaoxi was about to reach out and retrieve the black bead, it floated out of the box. One after another, demon cores brimming with demonic energy shot out from several surrounding boxes, following the black bead into the cave. They gathered around the little beast's den, concealing all their demonic power, like decorations adorning the dwelling.
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes widened. What was this? Was he going to copy her?
The black bead landed naturally on the cloak and even rubbed against it.
Ning Xiaoxi rubbed her temples helplessly, they were throbbing!
He gestured to the little mermaid to take the demon cores; with those few demons around, these would probably be enough for their sustenance.
