At this moment, not far away, Ji Xiaoxi was looking at the lake with tears streaming down her face. The entire lake had turned completely purple, and the water had risen into the air to form an altar, on which her companion Yao Fang was lying.
His eyes were wide open, and there was a huge wound on his neck; he was clearly no longer breathing.
Blood flowed across the altar, dripping continuously into the lake, and with each drop, the lake's purple hue intensified.
The entire Shadow Moon Lake at this moment resembled a giant, beautiful eye, its depths terrifying.
The giant vertical pupil in mid-air was merely a projection of the lake's surface.
As Lu Bei prayed, the lake surface gradually began to boil, as if a terrifying will was trying to descend upon this place.
The mere wisp of aura that leaked out sent chills down Ji Xiaoxi's spine.
At this moment, she was both afraid and angry. Having witnessed her companion die tragically in front of her, she desperately wanted to avenge Yao Fang.
Unfortunately, her poisons seemed to have no effect on these monsters. At this moment, she was completely wrapped in a cocoon made of spider silk, and she couldn't even activate the flying sword talisman given to her by her ancestor.
Fortunately, her brother gave her a few protective charms, which prevented the spider silk cocoons outside from harming her for the time being. However, judging from the current situation, these charms wouldn't last much longer.
Sensing the aura emanating from the lake, Lu Bei was extremely excited and knelt down again in a very strange posture: "War Priest, descend! A brand new world awaits your enjoyment."
"Blood is not enough..."
A low, hoarse voice came from the void, like the sound of fingernails scraping against glass, harsh, unpleasant, and frightening.
Lu Bei glanced at Ji Xiaoxi, who was wrapped in a cocoon, and hesitated. "My lord, this little girl seems to have a close relationship with a great figure of the human race. Keeping her around will be more useful for the next part of the plan..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a deep murmur: "Blood, I want more blood..."
Lu Bei gritted his teeth, and suddenly a Heart-Eating Spider burst out of his chest cavity. It then threw Lu Bei's corpse onto the altar, and soon blood gushed out from his ruptured chest cavity.
They have already sacrificed the blood of many living beings during this period, so it should be about time.
As fresh blood flowed into the lake, the entire lake began to boil violently.
Ji Xiaoxi's face turned deathly pale. In the huge vertical pupil projection in the sky, she could vaguely see a massive entity that seemed to be trying to penetrate that void to get here.
The Heart-Eating Spider was overjoyed: "Your subordinate respectfully welcomes the arrival of the High Priest!"
After a while, there was still no movement above. When it looked up, it found that the adult seemed unable to break through the thin layer of void.
"Isn't the sacrifice enough?" The Heart-Eating Spider looked at Ji Xiaoxi in the cocoon, thinking that no matter how important this little girl was, it was not as important as the arrival of the High Priest. As long as the High Priest successfully arrived, this new world would be within easy reach.
As a meritorious contributor to the arrival of the High Priest, I will certainly receive many benefits from him.
Now that the Spider Leader is dead, I can grow into the new leader with his help.
With this thought, it immediately became determined and directly swung its limbs, pulling the transparent silk threads to throw the cocoon containing Ji Xiaoxi into the lake.
Although its current strength is insufficient to break through the defensive magic artifacts on the little girl's body, once it enters this lake, how can those defensive magic artifacts possibly stop the High Priest?
As she got closer and closer to the purple lake, Ji Xiaoxi could clearly feel the overwhelming demonic energy seeping out from it. Almost instantly, fear filled her entire body and even froze every thought.
"Brother Zu..." she murmured unconsciously, a tear falling from her eye.
"Xiao Xi, I'm here, don't be afraid." A gentle voice rang in her ears, and then she felt herself being embraced in a warm hug.
Ji Xiaoxi opened her eyes, staring at the familiar face, momentarily stunned: "Is this a final burst of energy before death...?"
As a doctor, she has naturally witnessed many patients experiencing a final burst of energy before death, as if they could see the people they had always wanted to see and accomplish the things they had always wanted to accomplish, and they were completely immersed in a "dreamlike" state.
Was it because his soul had already been swallowed and dissolved by that purple lake that these thoughts arose?
"Xiao Xi, I'm late, I'm sorry to have startled you," Zu An said apologetically.
At this moment, another familiar voice said with dissatisfaction, "This is outrageous! When faced with danger, he didn't think of his father at the last moment, but instead thought of this brat."
Ji Dengtu stood to the side, so angry that he blew his beard and glared. No wonder people say that daughters are a money-losing commodity. They haven't even grown up yet, but they've already learned to side with outsiders.
"Ah!" Seeing her father's angry expression, Ji Xiaoxi immediately realized what was happening, and her little face turned bright red with embarrassment.
I was really in my great-uncle's arms, and he and my father heard me calling his name!
This is so embarrassing, boohoo...
She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, but her entire body was encased in a cocoon, making it impossible for her to move.
At this moment, Zu'an's gaze fell on the cocoon, and a flame rose from his hand, instantly burning the cocoon to ashes.
Seeing such a large fire, Ji Dengtu was initially worried that it might burn Xiao Xi, after all, he had witnessed the power of such flames.
If Xiaoxi's skin is burned, I will not let this brat off easily!
However, seeing Ji Xiaoxi appear unharmed before him, he couldn't help but admire him. This kid's control over the elements was truly superb; perhaps only his teacher had such control back then.
