Her brother said that it was probably a prehistoric period much more distant than the totem era, but the deeds of these ancient creatures are rarely mentioned in the totem ruins, with only some blurry pictures. In fact, in human history books, these creatures that are even older than totems are simply considered not to exist!
Even if they did exist, they must have all been wiped out. Otherwise, with thousands of years of magical civilization history, it's impossible that there wouldn't be any trace of them.
“I thought you would be more excited,” Lü Cheng said.
"Or is it that you have such a strong ability to accept things?"
"Accept..." Jiang Shaoxu's vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
Lu Cheng grabbed Jiang Shaoxu, who was falling backward, and caught her in his hand.
"This is right..."
When they first saw him like this, his mother fainted, Ye Chang fainted, and even Tang Yue, Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao, who had seen him in his Little Dragon Man form, fainted. There was no reason why Jiang Shaoxu, who was seeing him for the first time, wouldn't faint!
Chapter 163 Waiting for You to Die
165.
……
"How come one of you fainted too?"
Nan Jue, who was anxiously searching for clues in the temple, felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Lü Cheng carrying the unconscious Jiang Shaoxu into the temple.
Are the ghosts here really that terrifying?!
Even the monarch couldn't stop it?
“She’s drunk,” Lü Cheng said.
Nan Jue quickly approached, touched Jiang Shaoxu's warm body, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Zhao Manyan is in trouble." Nan Jue said with a heavy expression, quickly recounting the events of the previous night to Lü Cheng.
"Soul-stealing?" Lu Cheng was taken aback.
What's going on? When he went out with Jiang Shaoxu last night, he already asked Jiuyouhou to deal with the demon spirit on the Baxia vessel, so how could the soul-snatching situation still occur?
That older sister probably forgot about it, right?
After all, it has been sleeping in the tomb for over a thousand years, so it is rare for it to go out for a walk.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Cheng asked.
Nan Jue hesitated for a moment, "Mu Ningxue also gave her name last night in order to find the murderer, and now she has also fallen into a coma."
Lu Cheng took a deep breath, "You..."
"Mu Ningxue took the initiative to do this. I tried to stop her, but I couldn't," Nan Jue said, sounding a little flustered.
"I want to say, when you're doing experiments, can't you just grab a white mouse from the roadside?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Do you really have to do it yourself? What's wrong with your brains..."
Nan Jue's eye twitched. "A guinea pig?"
Lu Cheng didn't want to complain anymore. He carried the unconscious Jiang Shaoxu back to the room, placed her next to Mu Ningxue, and asked Nan Rongni to take care of her. Then he led Nan Jue towards the back mountain.
Deep in the back mountains, there is an abandoned temple. Inside the main hall, there is a wooden fish covered in dust.
"Little Jiu, what are you doing?" Lu Cheng knocked on Jiu You, who was squatting next to the Baxia vessel.
"Huh? Your Majesty, you finished so quickly?" Queen Jiuyou was somewhat surprised.
Isn't this supposed to be a minimum of three days?
Is he not in good condition?
Lu Cheng looked speechless. "Don't you know anything about moderation?"
He was too indulgent the previous two times; in these kinds of things, too much of a good thing can be bad.
"Oh~" Jiuyou nodded.
I was immature before, but now I know how to cherish and protect women.
"Stop kidding me. Didn't I ask you to handle this? What, don't tell me you can't break this restriction," Lu Cheng said.
"It's not that I can't open it, it's just that this thing is a bit complicated, and I need some more time," Jiuyouhou said.
"Complex?" Lu Cheng squatted down, reached out and grabbed the wooden fish. A burst of intense bright yellow lightning suddenly erupted and struck Lu Cheng.
Nan Jue's eye twitched violently, "A restriction?"
No, bro, are we going to go head-to-head with the restrictions?
Is it really necessary to be so reckless?
And it seems you don't have any lightning-type skills, right?
Baxia, who was sleeping, sensed his totem vessel and suddenly woke up, quickly stopping the restrictive formation on the vessel.
"Why didn't you tell me you found the vessel?" Baxia was a little flustered.
“I just wanted to see how tough your vessel really is,” Lü Cheng said.
"Why don't you reopen the restriction and let me experience the limits of this thing?"
He hadn't felt anything from the electric restriction just now.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Baxia was speechless for a moment.
If the restriction is forcibly broken, its vessel will be ruined!
That's only half its life left!
“Your vessel has gone moldy.” Golden flames ignited in Lü Cheng’s hand, enveloping the entire wooden fish.
“You’re so fiery…” Nan Jue’s expression changed slightly.
She felt something was off when Lü Cheng used this fire to treat the two infant corpses. Even if it was a fire-type soul seed, it shouldn't have an extra light-attribute purification effect.
"Touch it." Lü Cheng lifted the burning wooden fish in front of Nan Jue.
Nan Jue hesitated for a moment, then cautiously reached out to touch the golden flame in front of her.
She witnessed the flames evaporate the two infant corpses like water...
"Huh?" Nan Jue was stunned.
Upon touching the flame, the expected scorching heat did not occur; instead, an indescribable...warmth appeared!
"This is... the effect of the Soul Seed?" Nan Jue asked in confusion.
“This isn’t fire,” Lü Cheng said.
"It just looks like fire."
This thing that looks like golden flames is the purest form of righteous energy.
Moreover, this thing has its own "will," and he hasn't figured out what's going on with it yet, so the Saint Seiya ignores him.
He previously used righteous energy to deal with the two infant corpses, which was actually similar to a ritual to deliver them from suffering. In effect, it was equivalent to a blessing buff.
Unlike the debuff on him, this is a positive buff that comes from reincarnation, bringing peace and safety.
"Then what are you doing burning this thing?" Nan Jue asked, puzzled.
"Let's perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife," Lü Cheng said.
"If you ever die, I can burn your body."
Nan Jue paused for a moment, "Thank you! No need!"
"I am serious."
"I'm serious, I don't need it!"
"This is good stuff."
"Keep it to burn yourself!"
"A dog bites Lü Dongbin..."
"..."
……
At the same time, Mu Ningxue had woken up from her coma, but looking at the unconscious Jiang Shaoxu beside her, and smelling a familiar scent emanating from her...
Mu Ningxue's expression immediately underwent some indescribable changes.
"Beast..." Jiang Shaoxu mumbled in his sleep.
“Ning Xue, you…” Nan Rongni, who was standing guard by the door, turned around.
Mu Ningxue raised her hand to her mouth, signaling Nan Rongni to be quiet.
Having just been tormented by that beast, Jiang Shaoxu wouldn't be able to stand up for at least two or three days after she came to her senses.
"Don't go..."
