She's really something. She was the one who got hit, so why does she feel guilty?
Hehe~
The Ice Crystal Bird BOSS is urging us again.
So Gu Xi could only reach out and turn the key.
Hehe~
The Ice Crystal Bird BOSS's beak is like a mother's slap. Whenever it sees its little one doing things the same way as before, it pecks at her hand with a look of disappointment.
"ah!"
Gu Xi winced in pain and withdrew her hand. Looking at the red mark on her hand, she felt inexplicably wronged.
Hehe~
The Ice Crystal Bird BOSS flapped its wings against the giant gate again, then pecked at the key with its beak.
Seeing its furious rage, Gu Xi recalled the scene of it restoring her mental energy just now.
Could it be using mental power? Gu Xi suddenly realized. When she opened the door earlier, she hadn't used her mental power to touch the giant door because of the chains and her cautious mindset. So, this door could actually be opened with mental power?
No, no, Gu Xi shook her head inwardly. This guess was definitely wrong.
If she had used her mental energy from the beginning, it would probably have been completely drained. The fact that she can use her mental energy now is definitely because she paused the runes and chains.
But if that's the case, why didn't the Ice Crystal Bird BOSS use its mental energy to open the door directly? Judging from the fact that it helped her replenish her mental energy, the bird's mental energy must be higher than hers, but even in such a angry state, it didn't help her open it. Is it because only she can open this door right now?
"That's right!" Suddenly, Gu Xi's eyes lit up. How could she forget that the key's binding had been transferred from the Ice Crystal Bird BOSS to her, perhaps not because it didn't want to help her, but because it couldn't help her.
After clarifying the logic, Gu Xi's gaze towards the Ice Crystal Bird BOSS became much more affectionate. Seeing the Ice Crystal Bird BOSS tilting its head in confusion, she simply smiled and stroked its feathers without saying a word.
Then she turned the key and channeled her mental energy into it.
Suddenly, everything went black. When her vision returned, she found herself in a dark space.
I see now, there's another door behind that one. This door is much smaller than the outer one.
Tick-tock, tick-tock
The sound of water, seemingly coming from nowhere and landing somewhere, echoed softly in Gu Xi's ears.
Immediately afterwards, a vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the door in front of her.
It rotates clockwise, slowly but continuously.
Gu Xi held her breath; this feeling... was somewhat familiar to her.
The distorted space felt strange, and then another space appeared.
She slowly released her spiritual energy, probing towards the vortex.
Go with the flow? Or against it?
In situations like these, it's best to rely on your intuition.
Following his intuition, Gu Xi directly rotated his mental energy counterclockwise.
The convergence of spiritual power and vortex power subtly caused it to begin to stop rotating.
Crack
That was the sound of the mysterious door opening. The sound was truly heavenly, allowing Gu Xi to see the light inside through the crack in the door.
However, this amount of mental energy is not enough; it is insufficient to open this door.
She poured her mental energy into it as much as she could. Her mental energy, which had just recovered, was rapidly being depleted again.
Gu Xi gritted her teeth, enduring the headache, and downed several more bottles of high-grade mental energy recovery potions. She stared intently at the crack in the door, as if trying to pull it to its limit.
She now understood why the Ice Crystal Bird BOSS had replenished her mental energy. With her current mental energy, even opening a crack in the door would be a struggle.
