Song Jiao pursed her lips, her eyes complicated: "Dad, I will explain some things later. The important thing now is that we must find the root cause of this female ghost as soon as possible and completely solve this hidden danger."
The air around them seemed to freeze because of these words, and a tense and mysterious atmosphere quietly filled the air.
Father and Mother Li looked at each other and saw unprecedented solemnity in each other's eyes.
As the night deepened, the moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting a shadow over this land shrouded in supernatural events, adding a touch of weirdness.
"Yan'er, what are you going to do?" Father Li asked in a deep voice, trying to find some comfort or guidance from his daughter.
Song Jiao took a deep breath and looked into the distance with a determined look: "I have my own way, but before that, I must ensure your safety first."
Father Li and Mother Li looked at each other and said, "We are at home, but you have to protect yourself too."
"Don't worry, I will definitely see to it!" Song Jiao's eyes were firm, and she nodded heavily. Then she turned around, raised her slender hand, and a light blue light instantly spread out, gently wrapping the entire room and setting up a solid barrier.
The trivial matters at home were finally settled. She took a deep breath and felt an unprecedented sense of relief in her heart.
As the door closed gently, she set out on her journey. The sky had quietly darkened, and the night was as dark as ink, falling quietly.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of the past, this once prosperous village has long been abandoned, exuding a sense of loneliness and strangeness. However, Song Jiao was not afraid at all. She walked resolutely along the familiar yet unfamiliar path behind her home.
When she stepped into the edge of the illusion, the world before her seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, instantly switching from night to day. Light and darkness intertwined at this moment, forming a strange picture.
She stopped and looked back, only to see a purple halo behind her, like a portal to another world, mysterious and alluring.
Just as she was about to move forward, a rustling sound broke the silence, and then a group of white insects swarmed out from the ground, densely packed, and rushed towards her like a tide. The speed was so fast that it was astonishing.
Song Jiao's face stiffened, but her body did not move at all.
She held the sword in one hand, the sword light was like lightning, and with a swing, the tip of the sword drew a brilliant arc, instantly chopping the first batch of insects into powder.
He swung his sword again, and the sword shadows were heavy. Another group of Void Zerg disappeared in the sword light.
Her movements were clean and neat, and her eyes were shining with excitement and fighting spirit, as if these insects were just sparring partners for her to hone her sword skills.
"Hmph, it seems that there really are good things waiting for me this time." Song Jiao curled her lips into a sly smile, her eyes penetrating the swarm of insects, as if she could see through the secrets hidden behind them.
She knew that the appearance of these Void Zerg was no accident, and there must be a bigger conspiracy waiting for her behind them.
As the swarm of insects continued to approach, Song Jiao's eyes became more and more fierce.
She glided through the insect swarm with swift movements, each swing of her sword accompanied by a resounding jingle and the insects' mournful wail. The surroundings seemed frozen, with only the swirling shadows of her sword and the splattering blood of the insects narrating this silent battle.
Song Jiao made up her mind, and with a flash of her body, she plunged directly into the unfathomable wormhole.
The scene before her eyes suddenly changed, and she was back in front of the familiar little house again. But this time, inside the house was a sphere gleaming with dazzling golden light, like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting an alluring glow.
"Sister, look! This is an upgraded version of the World Crystal Core!" Qin Shou had followed in at some point, his eyes gleaming with surprise. "If I absorb this, my strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds!"
Song Jiao's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had seen the key to becoming a stronger person. "Okay! Qin Shou, I'll give you a hand!" She said as she waved her hand and released the seal on Qin Shou.
Once the seal was broken, Qin Shou's body instantly expanded, transforming into a large, round ball, emitting a faint glow. He opened his enormous mouth, as if he could swallow the world, and began to frantically absorb the void energy emitted by the golden ball.
"Oh, you look so ugly!" Song Jiao looked at Qin Shou's funny appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud, with a look of disgust on her face.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou felt so wronged that he almost burst into tears: "It's all because of you! If you hadn't stopped me and let me absorb the crystal core earlier, I wouldn't have become like this!"
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao's smile faded, and a hint of apology flashed in her eyes. But she quickly cheered up, "Okay, stop complaining! Now is a good opportunity for us to improve our strength! Qin Shou, just absorb it. I'm here, no one can disturb you!"
As Qin Shou absorbed the energy, the surrounding void energy began to surge wildly, as if forming a storm. Song Jiao stood aside, watching her surroundings vigilantly, ready to deal with any crisis that might arise.
Just as Qin Shou was immersed in the joy of absorbing the upgraded World Crystal Core, the surroundings suddenly experienced a violent fluctuation. Alarm bells rang in Song Jiao's heart, and she turned abruptly, only to see a figure flash like a ghost, rushing towards her. It was the original owner's grandmother, Old Lady Li, but her eyes were empty and her face was distorted, as if controlled by some force. She muttered to herself, "You can't destroy this place..."
"Grandma?" Song Jiao exclaimed. It seemed like the original owner's instinct was following the trend, but then she realized something was wrong and quickly jumped back to avoid the crazy attack of Old Lady Li.
Why did the original owner suddenly show his emotions at this time? Now his connection with Tuanzi is also broken.
It's so annoying!
Or is it the influence of space?
Old Lady Li seemed to be unable to hear Song Jiao's call and pounced again, her hands like claws, bringing with them a sharp sound of wind.
Song Jiao no longer hesitated. She dodged the attack nimbly and shook her head, trying to let the original owner's consciousness leave.
But the original owner's consciousness still appears.
"Grandma, I'm Li Yan!" She dodged the attack while trying to wake up Old Lady Li. But Old Lady Li seemed to be in a deep nightmare and turned a deaf ear to her call.
Song Jiao's eyes flashed. She knew that if this continued, not only would her whole family not survive, but they would soon die.
"Li Yan, if you want your family to be alive, don't bother me!"
So she took a deep breath, the spiritual power surged in her body, and she quickly formed seals with her hands, preparing to launch an attack.
She let out a low cry and instantly disappeared from her original position, appearing behind Old Lady Li when she reappeared. Song Jiao flipped her palm, and a brilliant spiritual light instantly burst out, striking Old Lady Li in the back.
However, just as the spiritual power was about to reach Old Lady Li, an even stronger backlash suddenly struck, knocking Song Jiao back several steps. She steadied herself and was surprised to find that Old Lady Li had actually formed a faint black shield, completely blocking her attack.
