While undergoing a heavenly tribulation, Jian Ning was struck dead by a sudden bolt of lightning amplified a thousandfold.
In her final moments, a fragment of her soul fled with her celestial...
But they move slowly, so how could they possibly extinguish the flames? Besides, Jian Ning's fire is extremely powerful; nothing can withstand its flames.
In just a short while, the mud on several mummies began to catch fire. A foul, burnt stench filled the air.
The leading mummy glared angrily at Jian Ning, roared a few times, and sank into the swamp with its burning body still on the ground.
Just as they were sinking into the swamp, Jian Ning's loss of spiritual energy suddenly stopped. This relieved her greatly. If it had continued any longer, she probably would have had to return to her jade pendant space.
If she stays here any longer, she'll surely lose her life. Without any spiritual energy, what difference is there between her and an ordinary person?
Now that she had a moment to catch her breath, Jian Ning quickly took out two high-grade spirit stones from her spatial storage, held them in her hand, and rapidly absorbed the spiritual energy within.
While recovering, he also kept a close eye on the situation in the swamp.
The strange fire was indeed very powerful; in just a short while, the swamp where the mummies had sunk...
It had already started to burn. It wasn't a large area on fire, but rather a designated area; after all, Jian Ning couldn't bear to destroy the beautiful environment here.
The swamp looked like a boiling pot, with bubbles constantly bubbling out. The mummy in the mud was probably struggling desperately, but it was no use at all.
More than an hour later, the area gradually quieted down, and the strange fire automatically gathered together and floated back into Jian Ning's body.
Jian Ning took out blank talisman paper and spirit beast blood from her storage bracelet, spread them on the ground, calmed her mind, and began to draw talismans.
The strokes were intricate, yet he didn't pause for a moment. In just a dozen breaths, he had already picked up the brush, and a flash of silver light appeared on the talisman paper. Instantly, it was filled with spiritual energy. The talisman was thus completed.
This time, she drew a Trap Talisman, which can push the soil on the ground to all sides, allowing people to move freely in the soil. This place is a swamp where soil and water are mixed together, so this talisman is perfect for it.
After meditating and regulating his breathing for a while, he drew two more of these talismans in one go before putting everything away.
I went back into the space, ate something, took a nap, and recovered my strength.
When we came out again, the sun had already set, and the sky was filled with the afterglow of the sunset.
Jian Ning took out her phone from her spatial storage and took pictures of the beautiful scenery. If she could get out this time, she would most likely never come here again.
He took out a trapping talisman, slapped it on his body, and jumped directly into the swamp. This talisman was indeed magical; as Jian Ning sank,
The surrounding soil hardened, automatically creating a passage large enough for one person to pass through, and it could even change direction according to Jian Ning's wishes.
The underground was pitch black. Jian Ning took out a miner's helmet and put it on, which would free up her hands in case of an emergency. She continued to descend, not knowing how deep she went, until her feet finally touched solid ground.
Unable to discern directions, Jian Ning simply chose a spot based on her intuition and started walking forward.
She hadn't taken two steps when the searchlight above her head flashed, and she suddenly saw two enormous eyes, which startled her. She almost hid inside the space.
Its body swayed slightly, and then the two large eyes suddenly moved, before slowly raising their heads. It was a gigantic python. Its head alone was as thick as the mouth of a bamboo basket.
Perhaps it was the light from the searchlight that made it uncomfortable, because it blinked its two gleaming eyes.
Hissing and flicking its tongue, it opened its mouth wide and charged towards Jian Ning like lightning.
Jian Ning quickly took out Ruoshui and slashed at it with her sword.
The sword struck the python, sending sparks flying, but only slightly halted its charge. The snake's skin was incredibly tough, impervious to blades and spears. It was a treasure.
The python seemed to be angered by Jian Ning's resistance.
With a flick of its enormous head, it took another bite.
Although these snakes' attack methods are simple and unoriginal, their speed is undeniable, and the swamp is their territory, giving them a natural speed advantage.
Jian Ning almost couldn't dodge it. Luckily, she blocked it with her Ruoshui Sword and wasn't bitten, but the venom sprayed from the python's mouth made her feel weak, dizzy, and nauseous.
In that instant, he could barely hold the sword in his hand; this python was highly venomous. Even his protective spiritual energy couldn't keep the poison out. He quickly retreated.
While taking out an antidote pill from her storage bracelet and putting it in her mouth, before the medicine could take effect, the python lashed out with its tail, knocking Jian Ning unconscious.
When she woke up again, she heard the old voice from inside the Linglong Treasure Pavilion: "Fifth Glazed Glass, you failed the fourth level. You have five years left to complete the level. Go back and recuperate."
She was then teleported out of the Exquisite Pavilion. Watching the slowly closing door, Jian Ning felt no disappointment, but rather a surge of joy.
I'm finally out. I didn't lose my life. But my whole body aches; the force of that python's tail whipping around is something not everyone can withstand.
The poisoning in her body had eased considerably. Jian Ning took another antidote pill, sat up on the spot, regulated her breathing for a while, and then came out of the immortal mansion.
As soon as I stepped outside, I shivered. It felt colder outside; I guess I was still getting used to the warmth of the flower-filled surroundings.
I looked out the window; it was still night, and the sky was completely dark with not a single star in sight.
I opened the door and went out to take a look, but there was no one in the hallway, so I had to go back inside, take a hot shower in the space, and then go to sleep.
I slept until I naturally woke up. Instead of getting up immediately, I used my spiritual energy to circulate through my body once to completely expel the remaining bit of poison before getting up, washing up, and eating.
When I came out of the space, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning.
As soon as I came out, I heard the walkie-talkie crackling. Xiao Lingfeng's voice came through: "Jian Ning, aren't you up yet? Aren't you going to eat breakfast? I made big pork buns today."
Hearing Xiao Lingfeng's familiar voice, Jian Ning felt as if she had been separated from him for several years. She quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "I've already eaten. Can you come over now?"
"I've been right outside your door, knocking several times, but you haven't heard me." Hearing Xiao Lingfeng's words, Jian Ning quickly opened the door.
Seeing his familiar, handsome face, without saying a word, she went over and hugged his waist. She pressed her face against his chest, greedily inhaling his familiar scent.
