Xiao Shi felt so happy she could fly after receiving Lin Jingge's praise.

"By the way, what should we do with all this blood from Gege?" Xiao Shi was currently in the space.

Everywhere you looked was crimson.

Last time, Lin Jingge gave it 500 low-grade spirit stones, which only opened up the warehouse. If it wants to open up other areas next time, it will need more spirit stones.

The required spirit stones multiply.

The blood drawn from the two blood pools filled the entire warehouse, and even if it overflowed outside, it would be bounced back by an invisible air wall.

"You can make the arrangements first," Lin Jingge said.

Lin Jingge could see the situation inside the space with a single scan of her divine sense.

Looking at the place filled with blood, Lin Jingge's only consolation was that Xiao Shi had initially chosen to open up the place where he stored miscellaneous items.

The warehouse was filled with items she had salvaged and repaired from garbage planets and other places, so they were not afraid of being soaked in blood.

Her treasures are all locked in the highest point of the space. That place will never open until the space is fully filled with energy; it's arguably the safest place.

While Lin Jingge was reminiscing about her treasures, Lin Shu on the other side had already made her move.

He stood by the empty blood pool, listening to Xiao Shi and Lin Jingge's conversation, but he didn't know where Xiao Shi had gone after disappearing. He couldn't hear their conversation anymore and could only tell from Lin Jingge's expression that their conversation was still going on.

Lin Shu stopped paying attention to Lin Jingge and instead focused his gaze on the dragon and phoenix paintings on the altar.

The dragon and phoenix totems are so lifelike, they look just like the real thing.

He also noticed something unusual about the fluctuations in the air.

Lin Shu dared not relax, but the two paintings above seemed to possess some kind of magic, causing Lin Shu to subconsciously climb up the altar.

For him, the altar was quite high, and it would take him quite a while to climb up on his own.

Lin Jingge absorbed spiritual energy to heal her injuries. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Shu's fear of the steps.

"Watch out!" Lin Jingge exclaimed as she saw the blood monster that had come back to life. She circulated the spiritual power that she had just recovered a little bit of and arrived in front of Lin Shu in the blink of an eye.

Lin Shu was currently gripping the platform with both hands, so he couldn't free his hands to deal with the blood monster. If he let go, he would fall into the blood pool.

At first, she hadn't noticed, but now Lin Jingge realized that the blood pool was seeping blood again. Although it wasn't much, it was more than enough to condense into a blood monster.

Just as the blood monster was about to attack Lin Shu, it suddenly turned its attention to him, despite having previously ignored him.

Spiritual power is completely useless against this blood monster.

Without a second thought, Lin Jingge stepped in front of Lin Shu.

With the help of spiritual power, she floated in space, blocking Lin Shu's way.

"Stop climbing, run!" she shouted.

Although she didn't know what Lin Shu's trump card was, in her eyes Lin Shu was still a child, and she couldn't just abandon him.

Lin Shu turned around and saw Lin Jingge, who was completely blocking her view.

Lin Jingge caught the blood monster's limbs with both hands. The surface was sticky and somewhat soft, but Lin Jingge knew that despite its softness, it could easily pierce a human body.

Xiao Shi was very observant and quickly took the water pump out of the space again.

Before it could even pump away the blood that had seeped back into the pool, a sudden change occurred.

The blood monster in front of them suddenly burst forth.

Previously, Lin Jingge could still react to the Blood Monster's movements, but now she found that she could no longer control the Blood Monster in front of her.

Before Xiao Shi could even turn the pump back on, a significant amount of the blood in the blood pool had already been absorbed.

The blood pool is its energy source.

The blood monster was more than ten times stronger than before, easily breaking through Lin Jingge's defenses. Its four tentacles simultaneously pierced through Lin Jingge's body, passing right through her front.

Blood splattered all over Lin Shu's face, who was being protected by Lin Jingge.

Lin Shu suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Ah—" The intense pain made Lin Jingge scream out.

The blood monster pulled out the tentacle that had pierced Lin Jinge, leaving four visible blood holes on her body.

Lin Jingge was in so much pain that she had no strength left in her body, and her spiritual energy was completely drained, making it impossible for her to condense any more.

Without any support, Lin Jingge plummeted straight down.

"GeGe!" Xiao Shi cried out in alarm. The water pump it had placed on the ground hadn't been set up yet, and there was no time to rescue Lin Jinge.

After seeing Lin Jingge fall, the blood monster ignored her and instead turned its attention to Lin Shu.

Judging from its appearance, it wasn't targeting Lin Jinge, but rather aiming to knock down everyone who approached the altar, making it quite different from the blood monster that had chased after Lin Jinge before.

Seeing Lin Jingge lying on the ground, blood gushing from the holes in her body, Xiao Shi felt heartbroken. However, it knew what it should do and therefore did not rush forward immediately.

It had been with Lin Jingge for most of its life, and they had fought on the battlefield together, developing a tacit understanding long ago.

So no matter how much it felt sorry for Lin Jinge, it didn't go forward, but instead focused on doing what it was doing in the present moment.

"Lin Shu, what are you standing there for? Get out of the way!" Lin Jingge lay on the ground, her gaze meeting Lin Shu's, who was still clinging to the altar in mid-air.

The blood monster's attack was about to land on Lin Shu.

She only saw the blood monster a few centimeters away from Lin Shu before she fainted due to excessive blood loss.

Her luckiest thing today was that none of the blood monster's four tentacles managed to attack her vitals.

Lin Shu was brought back to his senses by Lin Jingge's shout. He raised his chubby little hand and touched the bloodstains on his face. It was Lin Jingge's blood.

Suddenly, Lin Shu's originally pure and flawless silver-white eyes turned scarlet.

The blood monster tried to attack Lin Shu, but it couldn't move an inch, as if it were frozen in place.

Xiao Shi is still struggling with the water pump. If only it hadn't haphazardly gathered the hoses together when it was taking the pump away. Now that they're knotted, it's taking it a lot of effort.

After it finally straightened out the hose, it suddenly felt a very strong energy behind it.

It has even purer energy than the most expensive energy stone Lin Jingge sold it in interstellar space!

It turned around in shock.

A blinding white light appeared where Lin Shu was standing, and the energy, which is called spiritual energy in this world, was emanating from the white light.

The hideous blood monster was also completely obliterated without a trace after the white light appeared.

When the white light faded, Xiao Shi could finally see the scene before him.

The once adorable, short-armed Lin Shu is gone.

Lin Shu stood in mid-air, raised her hand, and looked at her fair and well-defined hands, which were completely different from her previous chubby little hands.

He scoffed and reached out towards the two paintings on the altar.
