Chapter 298 - 298: The Ancient Star Continent (1)
Jing Lan looked at the dilapidated battlefield and asked carefully.
Originally, she had specially come out to help. In the end, not only did she not manage to do anything, but she was also almost triggered by her own Star Tribulation. She had almost failed to help and even caused trouble…
If his Star Tribulation had really been triggered just now, then…
Glancing at the sword of heaven and earth in Swordsman’s hand that was slowly dissipating, Jing Lan felt lucky. Fortunately, her bloodline was strong enough to suppress her own Star Tribulation.
It was only at this moment that she clearly realized that the demons in the secret realm were not allowed to go out at will. They were basically protecting the demons…
To be honest, she wanted to go back to Myriad Beast Mountain.
Holding the Life Fruit that Ji Ruo had just given him, the swordsman stared blankly in the direction Ji Ruo had left. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, “”l’m fine.’
The golden light that was already faintly emitting from his feet slowly faded.
When Jing Lan saw this, she cursed in her heart. You were almost sanctified just now, and you’re still fine?
The swordsman took a bite of the Life Fruit and felt the medicinal power of the Life Fruit spread through his body. Then, it dissipated. His expression was calm.
“Mr. Li, is the Life Fruit useful to you?” asked Jing Lan. Should I help you get
some more from that old tree?”
The swordsman shook his head slightly.”
He had burned his life essence, and it was empty at the moment. It was not like he was injured and the Life Fruit could not replenish it.
The life essence contained in the Life Fruit kept dissipating. His body seemed to have become a big sieve, and the medicinal power could not be retained at all.
“But speaking of which, why is this Life Fruit so sour and sweet?”The swordsman took another bite of the Life Fruit and asked in confusion, “”1 remember that there is no taste in the Fruit of Birth.
Jing Lan explained,” This is something that the old tree specially made for Ruo. The old tree has asked the human scholars. The scholars said that children like to eat this sour and sweet taste…” There should still be spicy ones at Little Tricky Ruo’s place.”
The swordsman looked at Ji Ruo’s back and remembered the scene where Ji Ruo pushed away the star tribulation thundercloud by himself. He suddenly smiled and said,””What a magical child.”
“Ancient Uncle”<
Ji Ruo stood in front of a human-shaped pile of charcoal, the sadness in his eyes rolling.
At that time, the Ancient Star Continent was controlled by Eye Devil and couldn’t move. Thus, it was targeted by the Star Calamity and became one of its targets.
Hu Yonglin and the other warriors stationed there, including the Ancient Star Continent, were all targeted by the Star Calamity. Although they were later pulled back by Swordsman’s sword intent, the Star Calamity had dissipated, which meant that the targets of the Star Calamity had all died…
Even the Star Tribulations thought so. Although Ji Ruo found it hard to accept, he had no choice. His face was filled with sorrow as he took out a handful of white chrysanthemums from the Wan Xiang Mirror and gently placed them in front of Gu Xing Zhou.
Luo Qian was also a little sad. She kept switching her talents, trying to sense the life aura of the Ancient Star Continent. However, she could not sense anything.
“Meow -(Master, can we eat again?) “Luo Qian asked sadly.
Ji Ruo was speechless.
The young man sighed. Although he did not want to accept it, the truth was right in front of his eyes. Gu Xing Zhou was already dead.
“Kaka
Suddenly, the charred skin on Gu Xing Zhou’s body emitted a slight cracking sound. Gu Xing Zhou quietly opened one of his eyes, and his eyeballs darted around as he looked around.
Ji Ruo’s sorrow came to an abrupt end as he stared blankly at Gu Xing Zhou, who was observing his surroundings with one eye.
A few seconds later, Gu Xing Zhou chuckled and suddenly jumped up. The charred and carbonized clothes on his body were shaken off, leaving only a pair of boxers on his muscular body. He muttered to himself,”lt’s finally over. It was so close. I was almost struck to death…Eh? Ji Ruo? Who are you going to give the flowers to?”
“Ah, this…”
Ji Ruo quickly put away the white chrysanthemum and said in surprise, Uncle Gu, are you alright?”
“Of course I’m fine.” “What can a mere Star Tribulation do to me?” Gu Xing Zhou said proudly.”
“But, isn’t the Star Tribulation a battle to the death?” Ji Ruo asked hesitantly. Why are you…”
Gu Xing Zhou said,” I used the Turtle Breathing Technique to fake my death to deceive them. Star Tribulations are brainless, so they’re easy to deceive.”
“It’s great that you’re fine, but it’s a pity…” Ji Ruo said sincerely.
He looked at the other charred corpses and sighed.
“Everyone, the Star Tribulation has passed. Get up!” Gu Xing Zhou suddenly shouted.”
Then, charred corpses crawled up from the ground one after another, shaking off their carbonized clothes and laughing as they said that it was a close call. Ji Ruo’s grief was once again interrupted, and he could not recover for a long time.
Everyone actually used the Turtle Breathing Technique to fake their deaths to deceive the Star Tribulation?!
Of course, not everyone stood up. There were still some martial artists who were still lying on the ground, motionless.
In this battle, the Grand Xia side had also lost some people, but not a single one of them managed to transform into specters and rise up again.
Ji Ruo and Luo Qian helped to collect the corpses. They quietly tore off a small piece of clothing from each corpse and carefully put it back into the Wan Xiang Mirror.
Everyone returned to the Eight Treasures Stronghold. Gu Xing Zhou and Ji Ruo placed the eight statues at the entrance of the village.
The Ancient Star Continent once again summoned the teleportation gate with the help of the Wan Xiang Mirror fragment. However, the state of the teleportation gate was not stable and kept fluctuating..
