Chapter 181 Chapter 181
It is difficult to describe the scene at that moment in words.
The towering trees are like umbrellas, holding up a vast space between heaven and earth. The bright golden light flows along the roots, and is carried by the breeze to the mountains and peaks, gradually covering all the vines that have turned out from the bottom with a layer of golden edges.
The light contained an extremely gentle power, carrying the most sincere emotions between humans and mysterious beasts, and naturally restraining the "madness" and "nightmare" that were constantly spreading and raging.
Under the effect of the World Tree's skills, the ferocious vines gradually calmed down, the strange black and red color faded from them, and they returned to being quiet green vines.
The disaster of the "devil vine" that has shaken the entire mysterious alien realm and also involved a large area of the alien space is gradually coming to an end.
This also meant that no new innocent profound beasts would be transformed into spirits. Within the Yiyuan Secret Realm, the beast kings breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they looked up and saw the still terrifyingly large crack in the sky, they frowned in anxiety, their claws subconsciously scratching at the branches.
Traces of repairs can be seen on the cracks. Obviously, the divine beast masters of Blue Star have not been idle during this period of time. They are resisting the invasion of souls and bodies while hurriedly closing the passage.
But before, the crack was opening faster than it was repairing, so the crack in the sky became more and more serious.
Even though the situation has improved now, the cracks have widened to the point where they are difficult to see at a glance.
As a result, the stability of space becomes precarious.
At this time, tiny debris fell from the sky from time to time, like drizzling rain or continuous hail. Each piece of debris sparkled in the air, and when it fell to the ground, it turned into turbulence, sweeping away a large piece of mud and sand.
"rustle……"
The World Tree stretched out its branches, and its huge umbrella protected everyone and blocked the debris falling from the sky.
The sword-tailed tiger scratched its forehead with its claws in annoyance, looking at the mess on the ground in the Alien Secret Realm: "Roar..."
King You has been dealt with and the spirit tree has been restored, but what about the rest?
Those souls still on the Blue Planet, the profound beasts whose spiritual power had been separated for a long time and was beginning to cool, and the increasingly violent spatial turbulence in the sky...
We need to find a beast to repair the sky!
After the sword-tailed tiger finished speaking, he lowered his head in despair.
All of its spatial power was given to King You. Now, as a bargaining chip to help the spirit tree penetrate the two worlds, it has been almost used up by King You.
The Golden Nether Star Beast was indeed powerful, but after having experienced a great battle and now protecting all the researchers, its profound strength should be very little.
The most important thing was that the Swordtail Tiger had fought the Golden Pluto Star Beast before and knew its strength. Although it was stronger than the other beast kings, it was not as powerful as the sky, earth, or sky.
The Swordtail Tiger and the other beasts were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and the others were also somewhat bewildered. However, Xia Muqing suddenly spoke up, "Little Rose, is there any remaining Xuanli purified by the charred wood?"
The golden leaves swayed in the wind: "Rustle!"
【some! 】
The Yiyuan Secret Realm has existed for who knows how many years, and the accumulated energy is difficult to measure. Coupled with the power of the mysterious beasts absorbed by the Green Vine along the way, when combined together, it is as vast as an ocean.
The little rose took root in it, ate and drank to its heart's content, and evolved into the largest plant-type mystical beast in history, but it still couldn't digest this power.
"rustle?"
[Master, master, what else can we do with it? ]
Little Rose has grown in size and strength, and even her mentality has changed.
Before, she was timid and transparent, but now, overlooking the earth as a world tree, Little Rose suddenly realized: Wow, the world is so vast!
It turns out that the sky is so high and the mountains are so low. It turns out that there is a big river on the other side of the mountain, and there are mountains on the other side of the river!
The pool where the wind-rolling thorn lived, the place where it had always wanted to enter but was driven away time and time again - was just a small black dot?
The super powerful Lord White Tiger looks like just a "little mouse"!
In fact, many times, personality is influenced by vision. If you are always confined to a corner, you will inevitably feel timid.
However, at this moment, the World Tree that the little rose evolved into stood with its back straight and its crown held high - looking around, was there any mysterious beast taller than it?
The energy is no longer weak, and the courage is also strong! If the master wants to use the remaining profound energy, it will of course fully support it!
"If there's any left, it'll be easy," Xia Muqing said with a smile, "Little Rose, try using your special ability."
Swordtail Tiger: “……!”
Its eyes suddenly widened - that damn human beastmaster, was he going to completely drain all of its energy, leaving it with nothing?
The sword-tailed tiger's claws slipped in pain, and it fell from the tree. This time, it simply lay on the ground and refused to get up, so as not to have to watch the little human girl squander her profound energy.
Woohoo, my heart hurts so much!
Just lie there, out of sight, out of mind!
On the other side, Little Rose began to activate her own characteristics according to Xia Muqing's instructions.
The power of "catalysis" spread out and turned into a surging wave, enveloping Lord Feng Luo, the Gilded Sky Dragon and the Nether Butterfly.
Endless energy was poured into them, bringing about earth-shaking changes in an instant.
The gilded sky dragon's body rapidly expanded, obscuring the entire sky in the blink of an eye. Its majestic appearance rivaled the most imposing dragons in online images. It was both surprised and delighted, raising its head and roaring, "Roar!"
[Look, little butterfly, I'm the tallest again! ]
After showing off, the gilded sky dragon soared into the sky.
The crack stretched for thousands of miles, but its body was even larger than the crack. Its broad back was firmly pressed against the ground below, and its sturdy scales emitted a brilliant light.
All the space debris was blocked by this beast!
The beastmasters on Blue Star could see everything through the cracks.
If before, due to the great distance, only the mysterious beasts with special skills could see what was happening on the other side, then at this moment, everyone only needed to look up to see a golden dragon coiled under the crack, its scales turned into a solid wall, which was the strongest defense in the world.
Someone murmured silently: "Oh my... God! What kind of miracle is this?"
"So cool, so cool!" Someone ran madly through the streets and alleys, shouting, "This is the coolest mysterious beast! Gilded Sky Dragon, I will follow you forever—!"
Some people also hugged the mysterious beast and cried loudly at home.
Don't ask, they don't know why they are crying, but just seeing the golden dragon appear, even if the crack has not completely closed yet, their hearts that have been in a knot finally let go, and then tears flow down uncontrollably.
"It's about to end, it's definitely going to end..."
"That's Xiao Xia's beastmaster's mysterious beast, the Gilded Sky Dragon!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a faint blue light rising into the sky, passing through the gap and turning into thousands of streams of light.
That appearance was... Lord Feng Luo!
With the blessing of the characteristics of the little rose, Lord Feng Luo's body size did not grow larger, but instead gradually shrank.
But at the same time, the fluctuations of the mysterious energy in its body became increasingly condensed, as if a terrifying black hole was brewing within its tiny body.
Lord Feng Luo gracefully raised his paw and gently tapped the empty space in front of him.
"Snap", the mysterious power overflowed and suddenly turned into thousands of phantoms, passing through countless space gaps invisible to the naked eye, and silently appeared in every corner of the Alien Secret Realm and the Blue Star.
So, the front-line beastmasters watched in amazement as the snow-white puppies tore through the void, rushed straight to their side, leaned over and picked up one soul after another that was so weak that the edges of their outlines began to blur.
Some of them were so naughty that they waved their little paws at the human army.
There was a crescent-shaped arc of light under their feet, and their bodies, claws and even heads were covered with blue-purple armor, with faint flashes of thunder flickering in them, enough to deflect hidden spatial turbulence as they passed through.
"...What the hell?" Someone couldn't help but curse.
"Am I seeing things right? This, this is Lord Feng Luo?"
They said that this was the Monkey King who was transformed from a monkey by plucking his hair, except that it was not a monkey head but a dog head, and they believed it!
Even the humans and mysterious beasts trapped by the spirit tree were led out of their cages by a few white puppies.
Once again stepping onto the land of Blue Star, a group of people were moved to tears. Among them was a child, staring intently at the phantom of the little white dog running in front, tightly grasping the woman next to him: "Mommy, mommy, I want to raise one of those!"
"It's the hero who saved us!"
Hearing this, the woman squatted down, hugged the child tightly in her arms, and burst into tears.
The Xiao Fengluo Lords returned to the alien space with the souls in their mouths and stuffed them back into their bodies one by one.
When all the souls returned to their positions, the phantoms dissipated like bubbles. The Feng Luo Lord's real body, which remained in the Yiyuan Secret Realm, raised its head and twitched its little nose: "Awoo——"
The Nether Butterfly flapped its wings joyfully: "Ah-ah-ah!"
[Brother Xiaofeng, have you finished everything? Okay, now let me take over!]
[Characteristics, life energy——!]
Using this feature can actually easily hurt your body, but at this moment the Nether Butterfly uses it unscrupulously.
Anyway, he wasn't using his own profound strength, so how could this not be considered another form of "being rich and willful"?
The Nether Butterfly was delighted. At the same time, a huge amount of profound energy flowed through its meridians, transforming into the most gentle healing power.
The light falls like rain.
Emerald green rain fell from the cracks, and the moment the injured mysterious beasts were touched by the raindrops, they opened their eyes one after another.
On Blue Star, many beastmasters were holding their injured beasts in their arms with heartache, but after the rain fell, the groaning beasts in their arms rolled over and jumped up lively!
They ran happily in the rain, without even a scratch on their bodies.
Not only were the mysterious beasts injured, but some unfortunate beastmasters also lost their companions forever in the fierce battle just now.
They hugged the still warm corpse of the contracted profound beast and couldn't help crying bitterly: "Ahhh..."
But suddenly, the "corpse" in his arms moved slightly.
The beastmasters' cries were caught in their throats. They stared in amazement as the raindrops fell, sprinkling on the "corpses" of the profound beasts. The chests of the contracted profound beasts, which had been sentenced to death, actually began to rise and fall slightly.
Although the breathing was extremely weak, it ultimately meant that the mysterious beast was alive!
"...Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god—oh no, it's the Nether Butterfly!"
What’s the use of God? It was the Nether Butterfly and the Divine Beast Master Xiaoxia who saved them!
The beastmasters hugged their own mysterious beasts excitedly and couldn't help crying again, but this time they were tears of joy.
The drizzle in the sky is still falling, and this time it brings endless hope.
This disaster that swept across the Blue Star and most of the alien space finally came to an end in the drizzle filled with life energy.
…
A few days later.
In the Yandu Grand Hall of Blue Star, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xia Muqing brought several of her own mysterious beasts onto the stage and received a beautiful medal from the president of the Beastmaster Association.
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and this scene was broadcast on television and online media, reaching the eyes of countless people in thousands of households.
The internet was abuzz with the sound of drums and gongs and the blast of firecrackers - according to the information just released by the Beastmaster Association, the new evolutionary form of the World Tree possesses the ability to solidify space. In time, humans may even be able to create their own "Alien Secret Realm"!
As soon as this news came out, not only did the Beastmaster Association's eyes light up, even the beast kings in the Alien Secret Realm came to them with shameless faces, hoping that Little Rose would return to their side.
They are in a really miserable state now - after that battle, the spirit tree has exhausted its energy and fallen into a period of silence, and it will obviously take decades for it to recover.
The entire earth was plowed by vines, and all kinds of terrain and ecology were completely destroyed, leaving a large number of mysterious beasts homeless.
The repaired small world space is extremely unstable, with turbulence causing trouble from time to time...
Xia Muqing couldn't help but shake her head after hearing this, then turned around and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.
In the alien secret realm where you won’t die unless you seek death, this wave directly hit the “professional counterpart” of the World Tree!
What are you waiting for?
If I don't take the opportunity to give it a good beating, would I be unworthy of the insults that Little Rose has endured over the years?
But of course, things like arguing should be left to professionals.
The Beastmaster Association negotiated with the Alien Secret Realm for a whole week. After all, the human side was in the right and had an absolute advantage. The beast kings of the Alien Secret Realm could only retreat step by step. The negotiations were so frustrating that several of them almost became autistic.
In the end, even their most important treasure, the charred wood that could help the mysterious beasts evolve and enhance the talents of their cubs, was "borrowed" by the association for a period of 20 years.
"With this, I don't know how many high-quality cubs I can breed in the next 30 years."
"By then, the strength of all human beastmasters will be able to rise several notches, right?"
In a corner of the auditorium, Ji Hong and the others, clutching their medals, looked at Xia Muqing, who was being chased by reporters on the red carpet for interviews and photos. They sighed with emotion, "All this is thanks to her... Hey, do you think there really is such a thing as a 'Innate Beast Taming Sacred Body'?"
"I don't know about that kind of thing," Yu Chong said, "but I know that her and Lord Feng Luo's ability to control time and space is already better than mine."
"You all saw it, didn't you? That day under the World Tree, Lord Feng Luo displayed incredible, elusive, and indescribable spatial abilities!"
"Traveling through the invisible void, appearing in thousands of locations in the blink of an eye, how powerful is this! Xiaoxing and I are truly ashamed of ourselves..."
Yu Chong praised Lord Feng Luo crazily, not sparing any compliments, and praised Lord Feng Luo to the skies with his words, which made the other people around him look at him with a sidelong glance.
"Lord Fengluo is very powerful," Guan Yun was a little stunned, "but Yu Shen Beast Envoy, you and Jin Mingxing Beast are also strong, there is no need to slander yourself like this..."
"No, don't talk nonsense," Yu Cong's eyes were blazing, and he clapped his hands. "I'm nowhere near as good as the Golden Nether Star Beast. We're not even worthy enough to carry Lord Feng Luo's shoes!"
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
The Golden Nether Star Beast beside him nodded frantically, his eyes sparkling like Yu Cong's.
Onlookers: “???”
As the leader of the group to the Yiyuan Secret Realm, Yu Chong has always been a mature and steady person in everyone's mind. But at this moment, Guan Yun and others suddenly discovered that he and the Jinming Star Beast actually had such an unreliable side?
Especially when Yu Chong finished praising, he leaned back in his chair with a satisfied sigh, "The Beastmaster Association asked me about this before, and that's what I told them."
"Lord Fengluo possesses the potential to be a peerless warrior. It's worthy of the association's investment of all resources in training him. He will surely become humanity's strongest guardian."
"At the same time, we need to give it more practice and more opportunities so that it can better adapt to the feeling of traveling through space..."
Guan Yun couldn't bear to listen any longer: "Yucong Divine Beast Envoy, you just want Lord Fengluo to take over the job of the Golden Nether Star Beast, right?"
Having his thoughts exposed, Yu Cong smiled and nodded carelessly.
He and Jin Mingxingmon said firmly:
“I want to retire!”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
…
Yu Cong's imagined future is full of light.
After Xia Muqing and Feng Luo Jun took over, he and Jin Mingxing Beast no longer had to run around the world as "firefighters"!
What would they do then? A trip around the world, or perhaps a trip to another dimension...
The more Yu Cong thought about it, the more exhilarated he felt. As he left, his feet felt light and airy, as if he were stepping on clouds. The Golden Pluto Beast perched excitedly on his shoulder, squeaking and mumbling as it swayed along, also looking drunk.
But they failed to notice that in the corner of the auditorium, someone adjusted his baseball cap, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes under his disheveled hair.
Xia Muqing was still surrounded by reporters.
There was no other way. 90% of the self-media present today were there just for her, excitedly raising their microphones high: "Xiao Xia, Divine Beast Master, how did you cultivate the World Tree?"
"Xiao Xia, the Divine Beast Master, may I ask what skill it was that brought the Mystical Beast back to life that day? Is it a new ability of the Nether Butterfly?"
"Xiao Xia, Divine Beast Master, may I ask what type of mysterious beast you plan to contract next?"
"Xiao Xia, the beast master..."
Xia Muqing's scalp was tingling.
While trying to dodge, she tried to explain: "The World Tree... and Xiao Zi's skills all rely on the energy stored by the spirit trees in the Yiyuan Secret Realm. They are difficult to replicate."
"Yes, I don't have the ability to bring beasts back to life, so please don't spread rumors. The reason they're alive is because they weren't completely dead in the first place. Xiao Zi was able to use her life energy to bring them back from near death..."
"I don't have any plans to contract another one yet, really not!"
The questions kept coming up, and Xia Muqing was so thirsty that her mouth was dry and she felt a little limp. After finally finding an excuse, she ran upstairs and leaned against the window, wiping her sweat helplessly.
There was someone by the window too.
In the refreshing breeze, Cheng Zizhuo handed Xia Muqing a bottle of iced mineral water and smiled in the sunshine, "So hard?"
Xia Muqing gratefully took it and gulped down half the bottle in one gulp: "Thanks. I can't say it was hard work, but there are too many people to interview..."
It was really beyond her imagination.
If the Fengluo Lord, Gilded Sky Dragon and other mysterious beasts still had some experience, then for Little Rose, who had just arrived in the human world and was still relatively introverted, the enthusiasm of those guys outside was simply scary.
"You have no idea how popular you are right now." Cheng Zizhuo took out his phone and clicked on Xingbo. "Look, here are the search popularity rankings, the most influential beastmasters of the year, and the most desired marriage partners..."
Xia Muqing waved her hands repeatedly: "Stop, stop, stop?"
What is this?
Especially the last one, it’s simply... wait, is this guy jealous?
Xia Muqing's mind raced.
When he looked up again, he happened to meet Cheng Zizhuo's half-smile.
It felt like a jar of syrup was rapidly boiling in her heart, bubbling with clear bubbles. Xia Muqing also smiled, her eyes curved as she said, "Xiao Cheng, you didn't come all the way here just to check some rankings for me, did you?"
Cheng Zizhuo threw his phone up, and the screen reflected his handsome features. "How can that be? I have some big news to tell you. If you don't think of a solution, you might have a harder time next time..."
He told Xia Muqing what he saw in the auditorium and what Yu Cong and the Golden Nether Star Beast said and did.
It was a bright sunny day outside, but Xia Muqing shuddered suddenly: "He's retiring? No, no, no!"
She and Lord Feng Luo both saw how tired the Golden Nether Star Beast was.
It’s not that I can’t take over Yucong’s job, but at her age, she hasn’t even graduated from college yet, and she doesn’t want to step into the cage of “working” so soon!
"I think Yu Shen Beast Master is very talented and it would be a waste of talent for him to retire now."
"If not until you're 70 or 80, shouldn't you at least work until you're 30?"
Even retiring at 30 is a day that countless people dream of.
Cheng Zizhuo nodded in agreement: "I understand you very, very, completely, so... do you want to go out and hide for a while?"
...Hide?
Xia Muqing's eyes flickered: "Where are you going?"
Cheng Zizhuo pointed his thumb out the window and grinned broadly: "How is the different space?"
Xia Muqing's heart skipped a beat.
This... is a great idea that perfectly suits her needs!
The alien space is so vast, and she has visited less than a fraction of it so far, not to mention that there are mysterious restricted areas outside District 13.
Which beastmaster wouldn't want to lead a mysterious beast into a restricted area and embark on a wonderful adventure?
Moreover, Xia Muqing now has absolute confidence in her own strength. Even for the powerful mysterious beasts in the restricted area, it would not be so easy to defeat the World Tree, the Gilded Sky Dragon, the Wind Luo Lord, and the Nether Butterfly, right?
Ark Xiaoxue also jumped onto Xia Muqing's shoulders: "And me, I can record along the way!"
Looking at Xia Muqing's excited eyes, its electronic heart couldn't help but beat violently, drawing a wavy line on the screen.
From the moment the owner sets foot in, the word "forbidden" in the restricted area should be removed, right?
The other mysterious beasts quickly became excited, surrounding Xia Muqing and howling. Adventure, they loved it, especially this kind of unprecedented pioneering!
Xia Muqing and Cheng Zizhuo exchanged glances, and with a tacit understanding, they both laughed heartily.
"Let's go together?" Cheng Zizhuo patted his chest. "I'm already an ace member of the 'Thorn Road'. I promise I won't be a drag."
Xia Muqing smiled sweetly: "Okay."
"Then, it depends on your performance."
