The heart is actually related to the game system?!
If she could figure out the secret of this heart, perhaps she could unravel the mysteries of the game system...
Just as Gu Xi was lost in thought, the game's notification sound rang out again, interrupting her train of thought.
[System detected critical item: Tal's Heart, initiating retrieval...]
"What?!" Gu Xi was shocked. Before she could react, she saw the huge heart suddenly enveloped in a dazzling white light.
This sudden turn of events caught Gu Xi off guard. She instinctively closed her eyes and raised her hand to shield her eyes from the blinding white light.
"Plulu?!" Ais also noticed something was wrong, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"Pfft?!" Flame Scale was startled and stood frozen in the hot air balloon basket, like a salted fish that had been frozen in place.
With a clang, the ice shield sword, which had been balanced by the energy of Tar's heart, lost its balance due to the sudden disappearance of the heart's energy and crashed heavily to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Gu Xi was startled by the sound, and slowly opened her eyes as the white light grew weaker.
In just a few seconds, the heart that had occupied a huge space in the sky vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
Only the faint energy fluctuations remaining in the air and the lone ice shield sword on the ground proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.
Gu Xi stood there, stunned, her mind blank. She never expected that the game system would reclaim her heart in this way.
What... what on earth is going on?!
She had originally hoped to uncover more secrets about the game system from this heart, but now, instead of finding any secrets, the system has taken her heart away!
"Plop plop..." Ai Si moved to Gu Xi's side and gently touched her arm.
"I'm fine." Gu Xi came to her senses and shook her head. She was in a lot of turmoil. "The heart was transferred away. Although it's hard for me to explain, you can trust that it won't pose a threat to us."
"Pfft! Where's the heart? Such a big heart, how could it just disappear like that!" Flame Scale finally realized what was happening. Not daring to stand up, it could only cling to Ais's leg and wail.
Gu Xi sighed deeply, trying to calm herself down. What's done is done; there's no use in being upset now. The most important thing is to figure out what to do next.
[Heart recovery complete. Rewards will now be distributed.]
Gu Xi frowned. This damn delay!
The reward has been placed; please claim it.
The game system's voice had just finished.
Gu Xi then heard a loud "bang" coming from below.
The sound was deep and powerful, as if something heavy had slammed into the ground.
A thought struck her, and she quickly looked down.
A huge box suddenly appeared on the previously empty ground.
The box is dark gold in color, with intricate and mysterious patterns carved on its surface. Even in the bright beams of light from the Nine Stone Slabs, it still emits a faint glow that is immediately noticeable.
Gu Xi's eyes lit up instantly.
It's a treasure chest!
She hasn't seen a treasure chest in a long time!
Since entering this eerie tower, she has been in a state of high tension, her nerves taut, constantly on guard against any potential dangers.
The appearance of this treasure chest was like a shot in the arm, instantly easing her heavy mood.
Before Gu Xi could bend down to pick up the dark gold treasure chest, the surrounding space suddenly trembled slightly.
She subconsciously looked up and glanced around.
The space that was originally occupied by the giant heart is now empty and seems somewhat unreal.
