Gu Xi and Yan Lin's gazes were instantly drawn to it.
"Thump...thump"
"Pfft! It really moved!" Flame Scale exclaimed weakly.
After absorbing the star map and the text, the ugly heart began to slowly undulate, as if it were alive.
"Thump...thump..." A faint but rhythmic thumping sound gradually echoed in the space.
Something that should have died suddenly came back to life; this scene is no less than encountering a ghost.
Upon witnessing this scene, even Flamescale's fear of heights was greatly alleviated. It clung tightly to Gu Xi, its body trembling slightly, and its voice even trembled a little.
"Whoosh! This heart... it feels like it's about to jump out! Is it alive or dead?!"
Gu Xi's expression also turned serious. She stared intently at the heart, which was pounding violently, each beat stronger and more intense than the last, as if it wanted to break free from her chest and leap into the real world.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of the heartbeat grew louder and louder, like a giant war drum echoing in the empty space, making one's eardrums ache, and the heart pounded wildly in response.
Gu Xi, Ai Si, and Yan Lin all felt an unprecedented pressure, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping their throats, making it hard for them to breathe.
Suddenly, the ugly heart trembled violently, and the grooves on its surface began to writhe and merge rapidly, gradually filling in the pits and bumps.
"Plop! Could it be coming back to life?!" Ais's voice was filled with surprise.
"Pfft! Good, it looks better..." Flame Scale also poked its head out, looking at it curiously.
Under the watchful eyes of Gu Xi, Ai Si, and Yan Lin, the shape of the heart underwent a dramatic change.
It was no longer the ugly thing it used to be, but had become a smooth, round, and crystal-clear red heart, like a huge ruby, radiating an alluring light.
"Thump...thump...thump..." The sound of a heartbeat still echoed in the space, but it no longer evoked fear. Instead, it carried a strange rhythm, as if the soul had been liberated.
This is so strange, so very strange!
Gu Xi was filled with doubt, her brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep frown.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the ice shield sword and the enormous heart, trying to find some clue.
The sheer size of the heart and the terrifying energy fluctuations it emitted caused Gu Xi to feel waves of palpitations.
She couldn't understand how this heart was formed, or how it possessed such power.
Just then, a sudden voice rang in her mind, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Congratulations to player Gu Xi for finding her lost heart!
That sound... it's the game system's voice!
Gu Xi's pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. His whole body trembled slightly, as if he had been struck by an electric current.
She was stunned by the sudden sound and couldn't react for a moment.
Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
A lost heart?
This enormous heart, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations, is actually connected to the game system?
A storm raged within Gu Xi's heart; her thoughts were as chaotic as the sea battered by a violent storm. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
