Looking at the terrifying black pillar of light, Lu Shi felt a bad feeling rising in her heart.
A lightning spear struck the Netherworld Serpent enveloped in black light.
However, the indestructible Thunder Spear encountered a tough barrier this time.
Before the power of the Thunder Spear was exhausted, it didn't even manage to cleave through the surface layer of black mist.
"Don't waste your energy. This spell is a super-tier spell. Even if your lightning spear is level 10, it's still a low-tier spell, you can't break it." Little Scissors poured cold water on the idea.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die!" Lu Shi stubbornly kept striking with the lightning spear, releasing thunderous energy, and even released a rain of flames after completely exhausting her fire magic.
None of it worked.
The black light was almost tangible.
It is simply impossible to break through.
At the same time, Lu Shi also noticed that the hyenas around him were falling to the ground and dying one after another, with black smoke rising from their bodies and flying towards the black pillar of light.
The screams of countless hyenas echoed from the direction of the passage, while the black beam of light grew thicker and thicker.
Suddenly, the black beam of light exploded, spreading outwards from the thick beam in all directions.
Instantly, everything in sight was black.
The endless darkness evokes boundless fear.
Even with my eyes open, I can't see anything.
It's as if my vision has been taken away.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Lu Shicai saw the sunlight again.
The darkness dissipated.
The first thing you see is the Netherworld Serpent lying limply on the ground, its black light already dissipated. Its head is lowered, its eyes still fixed on Lu Shi, its ferocious appearance conveying cruelty.
Without hesitation, Lu Shi struck down with the lightning spear, and the Netherworld Serpent, which was not protected by the black light, trembled all over from the lightning.
“It’s not protected anymore.” Lu Shi excitedly raised the scissors, which shone with a blue light. She stepped forward and pulled the scissors open.
Click.
With a snapping sound, the head of the Netherworld Serpent was severed, its head falling to the ground, black liquid spilling onto the floor.
Lu Shi, holding the scissors and panting heavily, sighed with relief that she had finally killed the demonic snake.
etc.
Why is there no kill notification?
An 8th-tier magical beast!
Little Master, where is the weight of my soul?
"Transmigrator, the target has already sacrificed all their souls, therefore you cannot absorb the weight of their souls."
The cold notification tone sent a chill down Lu Shi's spine.
Even worse things followed.
The dazzling black beam of light gradually dimmed in the direction of the passage.
The moment the beam of light disappeared, a furry beast claw emerged from the passage.
The beast's claws were enormous and awe-inspiring, every inch of its skin seemingly bearing the marks of time and power. The claw tips were sharp as blades, gleaming with a cold, eerie light. The claw surfaces were covered with thick scales, shimmering with a faint silver glow, making them appear both mysterious and majestic.
The terrifying pressure evokes an urge to prostrate oneself in worship upon seeing it.
"Little Scissors, this serpent seems to have only sacrificed one claw. If we cut it off, will the rest of its body be unable to come out?" Lu Shi asked Little Scissors.
"Yes, Master, you are right, that is indeed the case."
"Shall we go there now?"
"Master, please change the weight of your soul first."
"Ah! How much transformation? Are you preparing for a massive soul-burning battle?"
"Spinning until you go crazy."
"Does going crazy mean you can just carry yourself around and wreak havoc?"
"No, Master. Dying won't be so painful after you go mad," Little Scissors replied calmly. Then, with a mocking tone, she said disdainfully, "What are you thinking? That claw belongs to a being beyond the 10th tier of magical beasts. Even ten of you couldn't scratch its skin with just that one claw phantom!"
silence.
Lu Shixin was exhausted, her face was ashen, and she didn't want to speak.
We've finally prepared ourselves to face danger head-on from now on, but now we're facing death!
This world is against me!
"Junior Sister, are you scared out of your wits?"
A deep, pleasant voice rang out, like the gentle plucking of cello strings. Its profound and emotional tone captivated the listener, making it impossible to tear themselves away.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shi turned around and saw a man flying in the air.
The man wasn't much older than him, around twenty-five years old. Yet, he was as handsome as a god straight out of Western mythology. What was even more striking was that while other mages flew using wind wings or flying artifacts, this man had two pairs of golden wings on his back, four wings shimmering and dazzling.
"Are you an angel?" Lu Shi stared at the man, completely mesmerized.
The angelic man landed on the ground, all four pairs of wings on his back retracting. He strode up to Lu Shi, pinched her nose hard, and said affectionately, "How dare you talk to your senior brother like that? You've been in N County for less than half a month, and you're even more foolish than when you were in the capital."
Senior brother?
Wu Chenyi.
The name came to Lu Shi's mind.
"Junior sister, don't be afraid! Master is here too. It's just a claw from the phantom of the Beast God. She'll handle it." Wu Chenyi smiled and pointed to the sky, shouting, "Look, Master is here."
Following Wu Chenyi's directions, Lu Shi witnessed an astonishing scene.
A red meteor streaked across the sky, plummeting straight toward the outstretched beast claw.
As it drew closer to the beast's claws, the fire meteor expanded and grew larger, eventually transforming into a fireball that was impossible to look at directly.
Lu Shi involuntarily closed her eyes.
boom...
A loud bang came from beside my ear.
Lu Shi opened her eyes again. The beast's claw was completely gone.
The deep hole in the open space turned into a deep pit. Fallen rocks from all sides completely sealed off the passage below, and the high temperature melted everything, emitting wisps of blue smoke.
The fiery meteor actually floated in the air, staring at the deep pit, as if checking for any omissions.
That fiery meteor was actually... a person!
It was still her own master, Li Cuiling.
Lu Shi was stunned.
Is this a magician?
It was agreed that the spells would be cast from a distance, and no melee attacks would be used.
This real person transformed into a magical attack, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, even more powerful than releasing ten or twenty rains of flame.
Lu Shi longed for it even more, but her thoughts were interrupted.
"Junior Sister, did you kill these people and beasts?" Wu Chenyi completely ignored the battle on the other side, having complete faith in his master. Instead, he pointed to the corpses scattered on the ground and asked Lu Shi.
Lu Shi turned around, ready to answer.
But then Wu Chenyi bent down and began to examine Wen Tianming's body.
With a flick of his wrists, golden light emanated from them.
Wen Tianming's body immediately began to melt, like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.
Countless wisps of black energy flew out of the corpse and merged into the air until the black energy dissipated and the corpse completely disappeared.
Only two magical roots, one black and one white, remained on the ground.
Wu Chenyi fanned his nose and angrily cursed:
"That damned Shadow Fiend is a beast, utterly sinful. So many lives have been lost in N County, and he only died by decapitation. You've gotten off too easy."
After saying that, he picked up the two magical roots from the ground and walked up to Lu Shi.
“Junior sister, these two magical spiritual roots are quite valuable. Senior brother has purified them with light magic, and we…”
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Lu Shi snatched both magical roots in one swift motion and thanked him sweetly. Then she hurriedly put the roots and scissors into her bosom.
Just as I finished putting it away, I sensed that Little Scissors had entered my consciousness space with two spiritual roots.
Very good, what I swallowed is mine, Lu Shi's, and I can't spit it out.
Wu Chenyi was a little confused. He wanted to say, "Let's split it in half. The one from the Mind Series that suits you is yours." But Lu Shi simply took both of them.
Awkwardly withdrawing his hand, Wu Chenyi stared at Lu Shi and said seriously:
"Junior sister! I feel like you've changed a bit since you came to N County."
Lu Shi was shocked; she had exposed the secret of the chip replacement so quickly.
Don't panic.
She remained calm, still asking with a playful smile, "What's different? Aren't you prettier?"
As she spoke, she struck a fairy pose.
"Well, no, you're even more beautiful now. It's just that you seem a bit greedy. Didn't you always treat money like dirt, Junior Sister? So many scions of noble families offered so many exceptional talents just for a chance to be with you, and you refused them all, didn't you?" Wu Chenyi seemed a little puzzled.
You treat money like dirt? No wonder you're so poor you're practically eating dirt, you can't even come up with ten thousand yuan!
Lu Shi wanted to despise her predecessor again.
"You only realize how good money is when you go out! Cultivation also requires resources!" This time, Lu Shi was speaking from the heart.
Without continuing the topic, Wu Chenyi asked again:
"I heard that my junior sister has reached the intermediate level and even awakened the fire element. Master is so happy."
However, Lu Shi has not yet answered.
A voice came through, revealing the confidence and composure of a mature woman; her calmness and elegance were admirable.
"You two, fellow disciples, haven't seen each other for half a month, you seem to be having a great time chatting!"
Lu Shi turned around and saw a fire person floating in the air.
That was her master... Li Cuiling.
