Looking at the array she had rearranged, Bai Ying felt a wave of despair, and her body began to dry up again.
At this moment, she clearly realized that she was probably no longer able to escape this desperate situation.
They can only stay here alone, watching their life force slowly slip away until they are completely dried up and turn into a handful of ashes that drift away with the wind.
She sat motionless on the cold ground like a soulless sculpture, feeling her body grow increasingly withered, every bit of strength slipping away from her fingertips like fine sand.
In the end, she had no strength left to even stand up, and was so weak that she could only gasp for breath.
"Am I really going to die here this time?"
Bai Ying was filled with resentment.
Looking around, all that remained was endless despair; there was no sign of life, and no way to escape.
However, just as she was about to be consumed by despair, a warm and vital restorative power, like a gentle stream, quietly seeped into her body. That power softly soothed her damaged flesh, repairing it little by little.
Bai Ying was taken aback at first, then her eyes instantly lit up with surprise.
She then realized that she had truly been overwhelmed by fear and despair.
Faced with this desperate situation and with all the green fruit gone, he panicked completely and forgot all about repairing the jade pendant.
This miraculous healing jade pendant activated on its own when it detected that her body was extremely weak, and began to silently save her life from imminent danger.
Bai Ying gasped for breath, using all her strength to summon the repair jade pendant and clutch it tightly in her hand.
In an instant, a rich vitality surged forth from the jade pendant, like a spring breeze sweeping across the earth, nourishing her limbs and bones. She greedily absorbed this vitality, feeling the power of life re-infusing into her body. Once her strength had slightly recovered, Bai Ying couldn't wait to take the jade pendant and approach the array she had carefully set up again, trying to find another way to infuse spiritual energy into it.
The moment she approached the array, the jade pendant in her hand suddenly lit up without warning, emitting a dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, the jade pendant seemed to be drawn by a mysterious force, flying straight towards the array's core. In the blink of an eye, the immense energy within the jade pendant merged with the array, instantly activating the previously lifeless array. Light flashed, runes flowed, and a series of low humming sounds emanated.
Bai Ying stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, her face filled with disbelief and surprise.
She quickly took out her natal incense burner artifact to see if she could take some of the pills and artifacts with her. Although these things were strange and dangerous, if used properly, they could be deadly weapons that could kill opponents at crucial moments.
Without hesitation, she immediately summoned her natal incense burner, a magical artifact nurtured with years of painstaking effort and connected to her soul.
Bai Ying carefully reached out, picked up a pill, and tentatively placed it into the incense burner. Fortunately, nothing unusual happened, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief. She then moved more quickly, placing the pills and the incense burner one after another.
The magical artifact in this cave was far more bizarre than imagined, and the devouring power attached to it was extremely domineering. The moment Bai Ying's finger touched it, she felt a terrifying suction force, and the flesh at her fingertip was instantly pulled away, turning into a stark white skeleton in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, she possessed a jade pendant for repair. Each time her finger turned into bone, the pendant would restore it. In this way, she navigating between danger and repair, constantly adding elixirs and magical artifacts to the incense burner.
When she felt that her incense burner was about to give way, she turned around and walked to the center of the formation.
As the formation was successfully activated, she quickly recalled the jade pendant. With a flash of light, Bai Ying felt the scene before her eyes change rapidly, and her body was teleported away by a powerful force.
When Bai Ying slowly opened her eyes again, the familiar cave entrance came into view.
At that moment, her eyes welled up with tears, and she almost cried with joy.
"Finally out!"
However, before Bai Ying could even bask in the joy of surviving the ordeal, a chilling sensation suddenly ran down her neck.
She instantly became alert, her heart clenching. Instinctively turning her head, she saw the True Dragon cultivator standing beside her, accompanied by three imposing Void Refinement stage cultivators.
"You really made me search high and low, Bai Ying. Did you really think your little tricks could keep me out of this secret place? Well, I'm in now!"
Bai Ying secretly groaned; she hadn't expected that she would fall into a tiger's den right after escaping from a dragon's pool.
The true dragon cultivator glared at Bai Ying with extreme anger, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Having been deceived by Bai Ying, he was now determined to kill her!
The reason he brought three cultivators at the Void Refinement stage into this secret place was because he wanted to find more people to help Bai Ying.
As long as he captures Bai Ying and obtains the treasure she possesses, he will immediately kill all of these cultivators in the Void Refinement stage.
The True Dragon cultivator looked at Bai Ying with unusual coldness.
"What did you obtain upon entering this secret realm? Hand it over to me now."
This secret treasure will grant different treasures depending on the type of Spirit Gathering Pearl. Bai Ying's Spirit Gathering Pearl is black, so the treasure she receives will definitely be the best.
However, before Bai Ying could even open her mouth, the several Void Refinement stage cultivators beside the True Dragon cultivator couldn't hold back any longer.
One of the burly men, glancing sideways at Bai Ying, shouted disdainfully, "Why waste words with this little brat? Look at her stubborn look, she's definitely going to stick her tongue out. I think we should just use the Soul Searching Technique to rip everything out of her head, then everything will be clear."
After saying that, his gaze swept over Bai Ying's body without restraint, then he licked his lips in an extremely lewd manner and said with a sinister smile, "This little girl has delicate skin and tender flesh. After the soul search is finished, she will be stupid. I will take her back to use as a furnace and have some fun."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators burst into laughter, their laughter filled with nauseating lewdness and greed. "After Brother Wang has had his fun, could we have some fun with her too?"
"That's natural."
They chatted amongst themselves, discussing how to deal with Bai Ying without any restraint, completely disregarding her as if she were a fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.
Bai Ying glared at the group of disgusting bastards, her eyes hardening. She looked at the cave she had just come out of and coldly addressed the people in front of her.
"If you search my soul, I will immediately self-destruct, leaving you with nothing. However, if you are willing to spare my life, I will take you to the largest treasure vault here. There are countless elixirs and magical treasures, everything imaginable! The choice is yours."
