A cold wind blew back into the mountaintop, the disheveled black curly hair intertwined with the withered vines in distinct colors, and the pale face was slightly turned to the side, pressed against the withered golden vines.
Shekh's body was trapped in several golden vines, his arms outstretched, fixed in a backward-leaning position, with not a speck of dust on him.
With her robes fluttering, she resembled an ancient Greek statue depicting a god suffering.
When the black snake shed its skin, it twisted and wrapped itself around Shekh's waist.
The initial force lifted the tilted body, and the infinite potential contained within flowed into Shekh's body. Black energy rose around her body, constantly vibrating outwards.
Golden threads glowed, and they walked the same path through life and death. When the two forces exchanged, the familiar life force entered her body, and her thoughts, memories, body, and heartbeat were all awakened.
The cursed red thread glows hot, and Shi Jin stands outside the airflow, receiving even more power to break through the rules.
He was on the verge of death, so a vast and inexhaustible power was flowing into his body, and changes were taking place simultaneously. Shekh's skills were also undergoing a silent transformation.
The black aura expanded once more, and the burning red lines on their chests brought their pulse rates closer together.
The vines supporting Shekh gradually revived, and beautiful golden branches sprouted flower buds, surrounded by a profusion of flowers. Irreversible cracks began to appear between life and death.
The earth trembled, and under the resonance of the two people's energy, an indescribable sense of distant loneliness swirled in the empty mountaintop, tearing a crack in the gray-black sky.
A golden glare appeared on the edge of the clouds, and the initial black airflow expanded into a black-gold fluid that pierced the sky. The barrier of time was broken, and the past was moving towards the future.
The strange phenomenon in the sky attracted everyone's attention. The remaining members of the group, who were still searching for clues and didn't know the truth, scratched their heads and looked troubled, feeling that this was going to be a disaster.
"I just can't get over this..."
"I'd rather be dead."
"I'm so tired... I really don't want to live like this anymore."
Bai Weishuang, who was guarding the ruined city in the thorny land, stood up and revealed a heartfelt sense of relief.
"Let's go, out of the city!"
Linlang was pulled along by her, unmoved by the threats and inducements from the system in her mind.
"Are Shekh and the others coming back?!"
"Soon, just one last step."
"What's still missing?"
"Card," Bai Weishuang emphasized, "Card that will ensure everything goes smoothly!"
The card she gave to Shech more than 20 years ago.
...
The overwhelming force that shook the surrounding area made it impossible for people to stand. Shi Jinzhe swung his wrist and swung it at Pu Sheng, returning his heart to him.
Yan Ruoying and Ji Hui braved the strong winds to help Pusheng leave the eye of the storm. She said, "The three of us are practically brothers in arms."
“Turn around,” Ji Hui said, his breath quickening, his attention elsewhere, “your skill card is glowing.”
Yan Ruoying quickly turned around and saw her [Good Fortune Shining Brightly] floating in the air, emitting a faint light.
She licked her lips, eager to know what was going on, but now was not the time to talk about it. She turned her head and decisively said, "Never mind, let's go!"
The three hid behind a large tree in the distance. Ji Hui inquired about Pu Sheng's injuries. Pu Sheng was surprised that the Heavenly Secret Card had not been retrieved. Yan Ruoying peeked out from behind the tree to observe her skill card.
The spinning skill card looked out of place in the golden light, but she soon noticed that Shekh, whose eyes were closed, was also emitting the same faint white light.
As dawn broke, the white light displayed different colors from different angles.
As the owner of the lucky card, Yan Ruoying belatedly realized that it was a similar card that had been triggered by the energy burst, resulting in a mutual attraction reaction.
So…
Does Shekh also have a lucky card?
No one present knew more about the Lucky Cards than Yan Ruoying; apart from the two-character card, all the other Lucky Cards were in the players' hands.
The auspicious symbol that Shekh was wearing was the one that had been missing for so long!
Born in the darkest of times, they turned misfortune into fortune.
Luck wasn't evident in her case because the card was constantly balancing the dark power within Shekh.
She was defined by the system as a threat and a tool, but she clearly had another possibility.
Yan Ruoying looked at Shi Jinzhe. Luck wasn't obvious, but Shi Jinzhe's appearance was a manifestation of good luck for her.
Apart from treating Pu Sheng midway through, he was not distracted at all. Although his wounds and even his broken arm regenerated and healed without him realizing it, it was just an additional effect brought by the skill.
His heart is entirely with Shekh, without a doubt.
When the black snake molts have completely disappeared, Shi Jinzhe begins to use the word "Fu" to catalyze the birth of new skills.
He fused, differentiated, and changed all his skills to their maximum potential.
The ribbon on Shekh's eyes lightened in color, gradually becoming transparent, until it finally disappeared completely, vanishing without a trace.
As dawn broke, the pale purple morning glow was dazzling. Shi Jinzhe stared intently at her face and saw Shehe's eyelids tremble.
The seven days of memories within the black snake molt rushed into her mind. She opened her eyes, her pupils sensing light—not in the sky, but beside her.
When the face, completely exposed, came into view, time seemed to stand still for a moment. He couldn't move, nor could he blink.
But he knew that time hadn't stopped; it was just an illusion, an illusion known as "a glance that feels like a lifetime."
He was willing to do anything for just one look.
