Chapter 17:22. Fate
With a clear shout, Yu Zhiming stopped moving forward.
"Sister Qiao?"
"This is her opportunity, don't interfere."
Qiao Zixi slowly walked to the ancient tree, which was filled with dark darkness, so dark that the bottom could not be seen with the naked eye.
Tian Yuanyuan, who was in a coma, only felt a sense of suffocation, which made her unable to breathe. She struggled to open her eyes, and a green lake came into view. She remembered the scene before she fell into a coma, looked up, but could not see the entrance to the cave.
She was immersed in a sticky, smelly green liquid. The cave was pitch black. She carefully paddled her legs and swam towards the tree. As soon as she moved, she felt a piercing pain in her body.
"hiss"
Tian Yuanyuan raised her arm and took a look in the dim light of the cave. Her originally intact sleeve had been corroded into tatters, and blood was faintly visible spreading on her arm. Seeing this, she suddenly became panicked. If she continued to soak in the liquid, she would soon be corroded completely.
She looked around and found nothing to gain leverage on except the shimmering green liquid. She swam hard towards the tree, enduring the piercing pain in her body, pulled her legs out, and moved forward step by step with difficulty.
Time passed bit by bit. Yu Zhiming walked around the cave entrance anxiously, looking into the cave from time to time, but he could not hear any sound. He looked at Qiao Zixi who was sitting beside him with her eyes closed, and wanted to say something but stopped himself several times.
"ah"
Tian Yuanyuan, who was swimming hard, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her leg. She couldn't help but scream, as if something had torn off a piece of her flesh. The wound exposed to the liquid was corroded by a large piece of flesh in an instant.
Tian Yuanyuan's face turned pale with pain, and she suddenly lost her strength. She fell into the liquid and was quickly submerged. For a moment, the originally calm water surface rolled violently, like boiling water, making gurgling sounds.
As the liquid surged, Tian Yuanyuan sank all the way down. She closed her eyes and held her breath tightly, not daring to let the liquid enter her mouth. After an unknown amount of time, when she was about to explode from holding her breath, she stopped sinking.
She fumbled with her eyes closed, and suddenly touched a round object. At this moment, the zombie's crystal core suddenly came to her mind, and hope immediately arose in her heart.
She grabbed the thing in her hand tightly and tried to pull it out, but as soon as she moved, the liquid that had just calmed down suddenly began to surge wildly. She knew that she had guessed right. This round thing was the crystal core of this mutated ancient tree.
Yu Zhiming, who had originally stuck his head in the cave, looked stupidly at the green liquid that suddenly rushed towards him. His brain froze for a moment and he was completely unable to react. Qiao Zixi, who was using her spiritual power to nurture the baby in her belly, opened her eyes instantly, grabbed Yu Zhiming's foot that was sticking out of the cave and threw it away.
"ah"
With a scream, Qiao Zixi flew up and stood in the air. Yu Zhiming, who was stuck on the tree trunk, was still in shock for a moment. He looked at Qiao Zixi in the air, then at the green liquid that kept gushing out, and felt scared.
As the liquid rolled violently, Tian Yuanyuan was almost thrown out. She held the crystal core tightly with both hands. The furious liquid kept slapping her body, and an unknown thing was biting her flesh tightly. With the belief that she was unwilling to die in her heart, she used all her strength and with a "click", she broke the crystal core directly off.
In an instant, the wind stopped, the clouds ceased, and the crazy liquid also stopped, returning to calm. Tian Yuanyuan did not hesitate, holding on to her last breath, and swallowed the crystal core directly into her mouth.
