Chapter 18: Desperate Situation? Break It!
"You really think I'm a sick cat!"
Lin Xiaobai looked at the still glowing ancient altar, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"I can still destroy it even without super powers!"
She bit her tongue hard, a mouthful of blood spurted onto her palm, and she held the suspended blood line with both hands.
“Break it for me!”
She screamed, her muscles tensed to the limit. The blood line connecting the two people to the altar made a harsh buzzing sound, and was twisted and deformed by her!
“Crack—”
A crack appeared on the surface of the altar, but the backlash also hit instantly. Xiao Bai was struck by lightning, blood oozed from all seven orifices, and the whole person was thrown out like a rag doll!
"noob!!"
At the critical moment, a figure flashed out like lightning and caught her falling body steadily.
Tang Jingmo's pupils had completely turned into brilliant gold, and a spiritual force field lingered around him. The moment the falling rubble touched this force field, it was all turned into powder!
"Anyone who hurts her will die!"
His voice was low, with a gentleness and firmness that spanned two lifetimes. He held Xiaobai firmly in his left hand, and slowly raised his right hand.
“annihilation.”
Following this whisper, a terrifying spiritual storm swept across the entire altar.
The altar began to melt away layer by layer like ice and snow under the scorching sun. The runes flickering on the rock wall went out one by one, as if they were forcibly erased by some higher-dimensional power!
"Hmm..." Xiaobai opened his eyes weakly and met his deep gaze, "You... have your superpowers recovered?"
Tang Jingmo lowered his head and kissed her bloodstained forehead: "Silly girl!"
As the last piece of the altar fragment was destroyed, light suddenly appeared from the top of the cave - an explosion had caused blinding sunlight to pour down from the shattered rock ceiling.
The moment Tang Jingmo jumped out of the ruins holding Lin Xiaobai, the entire Dragon God Mountain suddenly shook violently.
"boom--"
A dazzling blue beam of light shot up from the collapsed ruins of the altar and pierced the sky.
Countless flashing runes emerged in the light column, which were the alien characters they had seen in the end of the world.
The space began to distort, and spider-web-like spatial cracks appeared around the light column, as if the whole world was collapsing.
"Energy is running wild!" Xiaobai struggled to jump out of Tang Jingmo's arms and staggered to his feet, "We must stop it!"
Tang Jingmo's eyes shone, and a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from his body. A majestic mental force field spread out from him, like an invisible barrier, forcibly solidifying the nearest spatial cracks.
"You are responsible for the core, and I will stabilize the space." His voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable determination.
Xiaobai raised his lips, his bloodstained fangs gleaming coldly in the sun: "That's exactly what I want!"
She leaped towards the core of the light column, with a gorgeous red light flashing between her brows, and a dazzling blue light burst out when she encountered the light column.
What was shocking was that those alien runes actually avoided them as if they had encountered their natural enemies!
"Sure enough..." Tang Jingmo's eyes moved slightly, and she instantly understood something - her genes resonated with this alien civilization. No wonder she was the only one who could easily start the destructive reactor at the end of the world.
"Break it for me!"
Xiaobai inserted her hands into the core of the light column, and the violent energy storm made her long hair dance wildly.
Just when the energy was about to tear her apart, a golden light shield wrapped her in time - Tang Jingmo's mental power protected every inch of her skin like armor.
The moment the two energies converged, heaven and earth lost their color.
......
When the light faded, Longtou Cliff was cut in half, as if it had been swallowed up out of thin air by some supreme power.
Tang Jingmo knelt on one knee, holding the exhausted and unconscious Xiaobai in his arms.
He stared down at her pale face and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with his fingertips.
“We won again.”
"Monster! Without me, you would have died long ago."
Xiaobai pushed his hand away and coughed several times due to internal injuries.
But when she raised her face, her almond eyes were still surprisingly bright, and the corners of her mouth were raised with a cunning arc: "Captain Tang, how are you going to repay me for saving your life twice?"
Tang Jingmo's eyes were filled with tenderness. His calloused palms covered her messy hair and rubbed it before Xiaobai's hair exploded. "I will pledge myself to you and never leave you."
There was a smile on his face when he said this, but his ink-black eyes were serious enough to make people's heart palpitate.
"Okay! You said it, from now on I am your master. If I tell you to go east, you must not go west. If I tell you to kill someone, you must not just set fire!"
Xiaobai smiled like a fox that stole a chicken, with his little fangs showing and claws bared, looking extremely adorable.
He couldn't help but lean forward, taste the sweet jelly, and whispered: "Yes, my master~"
With a "thump", the fire in Xiaobai's heart instantly spread like wildfire, his whole face was burning like a hot pot, but he stubbornly grabbed Tang Jingmo's collar and took the initiative, almost causing a situation that was out of control.
Until the sound of dead branches breaking was heard from the bushes in the distance, waking up the two inseparable people.
They have recovered some of their special powers, and their hearing and vision are a hundred times better than that of ordinary people.
As far as the eye could see, several dark shadows were stumbling and fleeing out of the mountain. One of them even stumbled and almost fell into a ditch - they were the criminals who had been lurking in the back mountain.
Tang Jingmo stood on a high place, his cold eyes like a hawk fixed on the fleeing figures.
"Not chasing?" Lin Xiaobai stood lazily aside, playing with a sharp leaf with his fingertips, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"When did Commander Tang become so merciful? Although we have just consumed a lot of energy, it is still more than enough to deal with a few weaklings."
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows." Tang Jingmo said in a low voice, his eyes still fixed on the black dot that was gradually disappearing in the distance, "Let them run, it will just lead us to the nest."
Lin Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Tsk, aren't you afraid that the secret of Longtou Cliff will be spread by them?"
Tang Jingmo glanced at her, his stern brows slightly relaxed, as if smiling: "My master, you should understand this era well. After the founding of the country, you are not allowed to become a spirit, and you are not allowed to talk about strange powers and supernatural things!"
——
Three days later, the aftermath of the Longtou Cliff phenomenon was still fermenting.
The blue light that shot up into the sky that night almost illuminated half of the sky, and the villagers within a hundred miles were shocked by the wonderful sight.
Due to the campaign to destroy the four olds, no one dared to discuss it openly, but they talked about it a lot in private.
Some said it was a manifestation of the mountain god, some said it was a rare treasure that fell from the sky, and more said there were rumors about the "Dragon God Mountain Underground Palace."
"Have you heard about it? It is said to be the underground palace of the royal family of a certain dynasty. It is filled with gold bricks and jade artifacts. Picking up any piece of it would be enough to live on for a lifetime!"
"More than that! My second uncle's cousin served in the puppet army. He said that the Japanese sent a company of soldiers to dig the mountain to the point of collapsing it, but they couldn't find the entrance!"
The rumor became more and more bizarre, and some people even swore that they had seen a "golden dragon flying" in Longtou Cliff.
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it seriously. Some people can't sit still.
