Chapter 167 Unexpected Fragments of the World In the blink of an eye…
In the blink of an eye, Miao Yi was pulled in front of Zhen.
Sang Zhitao finally rolled out of the remaining tentacles, and saw that the real face was turning purple from the tightness of the tiny tentacle.
It flapped its wings frantically, flying towards Miao Yi like a sharp sword.
Shin once again waved his other tentacles, intending to stop her.
Sang Zhitao silently closed her eyes, entrusting everything to her sixth sense.
The jade pendant on her chest wrapped around her body several times, and Sang Zhitao's figure grew even larger.
It was indeed useful to rely on the sixth sense; Sang Zhitao flew out of the tentacle attack in no time.
Her sharp claws gripped the tentacle binding Miao Yi tightly, and with a sudden tear, a crisp popping sound filled the air as the thin tentacle snapped off.
Miao Yi had already fainted and collapsed to the ground.
Sang Zhitao rushed downwards, intending to grab Miao Yi and minimize the impact of her fall.
"Miao Yi!!!" Anya and the others called out in concern from afar.
"Bang!" Tangtang was so excited that she pounded on the green mist, but the powerful green mist did not budge at all.
With the disappearance of those twisted limbs, its actual height has decreased from over twenty meters to about ten meters. But even at this height, it would be easy to kill a person who is unconscious by falling.
Sang Zhitao had forgotten that this was a game world and that Miao Yi and the others had more than one life. She kept calling out the jade pendant in her mind.
Just as Miao Yi was about to touch the ground, the jade pendant surrounding Sang Zhitao suddenly enlarged, and green light enveloped both Miao Yi and Sang Zhitao.
Zhen subconsciously stepped back, and the green mist in front of Anya and the others slowly receded as the green light appeared.
"Miao Yi!" Anya instinctively wanted to go forward and check on Miao Yi's condition.
But Yingjun grabbed her arm and said, "Don't worry, it's alright. Look, that monster has already retreated far away."
Anya didn't care whether she would continue to lose her mind after seeing the monster. She quickly looked up and found that Zhen had actually retreated nearly a hundred meters.
"We... don't seem to have lost our minds?" Dou Ge subconsciously covered Douzi's eyes and looked at Zhen, only then belatedly realizing that the others had no longer lost their minds.
"It seems so!" A boy in Anya's group, carrying a longbow, touched his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
Others who had covered their eyes in time tentatively lowered their hands, cautiously opened their eyes to take a quick look, and then hurriedly lowered their heads again, fearing that the feeling of losing consciousness would return.
However, after waiting for a while and realizing what was happening, they all mustered up the courage to look ahead.
"It's really okay now!"
"What happened?"
"Could it be because of the phoenix and the green light?" Yingjun frowned and looked at the opposite side.
The others followed his gaze and looked at the place in front of them, which resembled a green cocoon.
"Phoenix...?" Bean frowned, looking at Cocoon with concern, then at her brother, "Will Phoenix be alright?"
Dou Ge sighed silently and patted her head: "She's a divine beast, and she's the one who saved us this time..."
"Yes, she's really amazing..." Douzi clenched her hands tightly by her side, the slight stinging sensation making her feel so weak for the first time.
The heart that once lacked ambition and was content with enjoying life has finally begun to feel different at this moment.
Sang Zhitao was completely unaware that she had actually inspired the ambition of the famous lazy bum in the original book.
When the green light enveloped her and Miao Yi, she felt that her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally relax.
It quickly flew to Miao Yi's side and gently pecked her cheek, but Miao Yi still didn't wake up.
However, Miao Yi's breathing had become much calmer, which finally put Sang Zhitao at ease, at least the person was not dead.
The jade pendant slowly floated to her front, but instead of returning to her body, it hesitated and floated towards Miao Yi.
Watching the jade pendant's movements, Sang Zhitao tilted her head, completely baffled as to what it meant.
Just as she was getting a little impatient, a faint purple light suddenly appeared on Miao Yi's body.
Seeing the familiar faint light, Sang Zhitao was so startled that she flew backward.
She looked suspiciously at the jade pendant emitting a faint green light, then at Miao Yi surrounded by a faint purple light, feeling that the light was exactly the same except for the color.
As the purple light grew brighter, a purple jade pendant, identical to the Sang Zhitao jade pendant, appeared on Miao Yi's chest.
The two jade pendants stood facing each other, their light shimmering slightly, as if they were communicating with one another.
Sang Zhitao was even more confused.
The earliest memory of this jade pendant is that it was a keepsake left to me by my parents, delivered to me by my older siblings, and later became the tool I used to travel through time.
Later, as he traveled through time, the jade pendant gradually merged into his body. When he reached the orc world, the jade pendant appeared, dispelled the pollutants, and took him away from the orc world.
In her memory, the jade pendant had never appeared, but she could sense that it had a close relationship with her, so she never doubted it.
But... now in a game world, a local character who appears as background in the original book has a jade pendant similar to hers.
She frowned and looked at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was a very invisible person in Sang Zhitao's memory. He only had a slight presence when he saved Xia Liang in Youyue Forest. After that, he always maintained a low-key and mysterious state.
Sang Zhitao really couldn't understand how someone like that could have something that could supposedly allow them to travel through time.
Of course, she wasn't sure if the purple jade pendant in front of her had the ability to travel through time, but it looked like a heaven-defying existence that was at least comparable to her own jade pendant.
Just as she hesitated, unsure whether she should step forward to retrieve her own jade pendant, the purple light emanating from the purple jade pendant suddenly touched Sang Zhitao's jade pendant.
Sang Zhitao instinctively tried to reach out to stop it, but with only small wings, she was unable to block the light from the purple jade pendant.
As the purple light touched Sang Zhitao's jade pendant, she could only sigh helplessly and watch silently from the side.
Things did not happen as Sang Zhitao had expected. The purple light disappeared suddenly after touching Sang Zhitao's jade pendant, and then the green light of Sang Zhitao's jade pendant became more and more intense.
Sang Zhitao watched as the light from the purple jade pendant slowly flowed towards her own pendant, then the purple color of the pendant became lighter and lighter until it finally became transparent and disappeared into the air.
As if she had eaten and drunk her fill, Sang Zhitao's jade pendant trembled in mid-air before slowly merging into her body.
As the jade pendant returned to her body, Sang Zhitao, just like every time she absorbed fragments of the world, began to receive segments of memories.
The familiar figure who looked exactly like him was standing opposite him this time, not beside him.
Those eyes stared blankly at her, without making a move for a long time.
“Really…” Sang Zhitao looked into those eyes, and suddenly another face came to mind.
“Really.” She suddenly uttered a single word.
Sang Zhitao's pupils contracted slightly, unsure whether the other person could read her mind or simply said what was on her mind.
"Really." She repeated it again, raising her hand slightly as if to touch Sang Zhitao, but for some reason, her movement stopped in mid-air.
"Really." Her empty eyes seemed to regain their light, and then a single black tear slowly slid down her cheek. "I'm sorry..."
As she finished speaking, a black dagger suddenly appeared in her hand, which she then stabbed fiercely at Sang Zhitao.
But before her dagger could strike, Sang Zhitao had already woken up from the illusion.
She was in a daze, staring blankly at Miao Yi beside her. The green cocoon slowly gathered into a fist-sized ball and stood upright next to her.
"Miao Yi!"
"...Phoenix...Phoenix?!"
Anya and the others looked anxiously at the green cocoon, unsure whether they should go forward. Of course, they also kept an eye on Zhen, fearing that she might suddenly launch a sneak attack.
For some reason, Zhen remained hidden a hundred meters away without making a move.
Although everyone was relieved by her silence, they dared not relax in the slightest, fearing that this was the calm before the storm.
Just as the green cocoon disappeared, Miao Yi appeared before everyone.
They were excited to go forward, but when they saw a little girl who was no more than 1.2 meters tall next to Miao, they hesitated for a moment.
Only Douzi, with trepidation and hesitation in his eyes, whispered "Phoenix."
"She...is a phoenix?" Everyone looked at each other, not daring to connect the little girl in front of them with the fist-sized little yellow chick from before.
Sang Zhitao had snapped out of her daze and subconsciously turned to look at everyone: "Huh?"
When she saw the surprise in everyone's eyes, she looked down at herself in a daze and realized that she had actually taken on a human form.
"It's you! It's actually you!" I had no idea when you walked over.
"Watch out!" Anya and the others quickly retreated a few steps, pulling Miao Yi to hide in the distance, covering their faces and lowering their heads to avoid Zhen.
Zhen stretched out his tentacles, trying to snatch Miao Yi back from them.
A pair of shimmering wings appeared behind Sang Zhitao, and several beams of green light flew from the wings toward the tentacles.
"Ah!" Zhen screamed as he retracted his tentacles, looking at Sang Zhitao with shock and fear. "How could this be! Why are you suddenly so powerful?!"
Sang Zhitao touched her chest. Although she didn't understand why the fragment of the world was inside the body of an ordinary local, she also didn't know why she had turned into a human after absorbing the fragment of the world this time.
But she knew that killing Shin was no longer an impossible task for her.
Thinking this, she slowly fluttered her wings and took flight.
"Really?" Sang Zhitao smirked, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Is it really your name, or mine?"
Zhen's face instantly turned ugly, and she glared at Miao Yi with hatred: "I smell it, this... nauseating smell, it's that guy!"
Sang Zhitao didn't know who she was really talking about. Her memory was much better than her own, so she could only pretend to understand and probe: "This is called... Heaven is helping me."
"Heaven?" Zhen sneered. "Aren't we Heaven ourselves?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her tentacles again, trying to snatch Miao Yi back from behind Anya and the others, but they were once again cut down by Sang Zhitao.
Looking at the tentacles oozing black liquid, and feeling the pain of her soul being eroded, her face was beyond ugly: "I never imagined this was her world, and that she was willing to be reincarnated as a useless person for you..."
"But... so what? You can never kill me!" He closed his eyes briefly, and the surrounding space began to distort...
