Chapter 152 - Rabbit Awakens
"Go down!" The two words were like ice chips squeezed out from between teeth.
"No, Brother!" Xie Zhao stood up with a smile and patted the dust off his butt. "The scenery at the top of the tower is unique and perfect for morning exercise! Look, Xiao Tangdou and the others are watching us!"
He deliberately pointed towards the square below.
Sure enough, the lens of Su Tang's photo stone was locked on the two people on the top of the tower like a searchlight. Her little face flushed with excitement, and she screamed silently with her mouth: "I got it, I got it!" Tie Niu stopped his morning exercise, raised his huge body and asked in a muffled voice: "Big Brother, Second Brother, what are you doing up there? Fighting?" Luo Hongyi crossed her arms, with an expression of watching a show on her beautiful face, and her red lips slightly curled.
The veins on Chu Linyuan's forehead throbbed. He turned abruptly, his figure transforming into a streak of icy light. He instantly swooped down from the top of the tower, landing steadily in the core area of the talisman formation. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing.
His movements were smooth and fluid, as if the embarrassment just now had never happened, but the coldness emanating from his body was ten times stronger than usual.
Xie Zhao slowly climbed down the unfinished tower frame, the Jinghong Fu Pen spinning flowers on his fingertips, humming a tuneless little song, feeling so happy that he could fly.
He strolled to the place where Chu Linyuan was regulating his breathing, but did not get close. Instead, he sat cross-legged three steps away and took out the Frost Silence Sword fragment and the Chenji Star Sand in the black jade box from his storage bag.
"Brother," he deliberately raised his voice to ensure that Chu Linyuan, who had his eyes closed, could hear him, "Can you please study this treasure fragment? I feel like the patterns on it are somewhat related to the Immortal-Slaying and Evil-Inducing Pivot runes on the base of our tower..."
As he spoke, he dipped the Jinghong Talisman Pen into a little star sand and carefully tried to outline a miniature rune on the crack on the edge of the fragment.
The icy blue light at the center of the fragment suddenly lit up! An extremely pure Xuanbing sword intent mixed with ancient evil spirit suddenly rushed out! Xie Zhao was caught off guard, and the Jinghong Talisman Pen was shaken out of his hand, and the star sand light condensed at the tip of the pen instantly dissipated!
"Be careful!" Chu Linyuan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them! Almost at the same time, he put his fingers together like a sword, and a stream of condensed black ice murderous energy shot out from behind, blocking Xie Zhao like an invisible barrier!
The recoil of the sword intent hit the barrier, making a harsh corrosive sound, and eventually dissipated.
Xie Zhao picked up the talisman pen with lingering fear. Looking at the icy blue light on the fragment dimming again, he smacked his lips and said, "Good fellow! He has quite a temper! It seems like you, the real master, have to come in person!"
Chu Linyuan's cold eyes swept across the debris and fell on Xie Zhao's somewhat embarrassed face. The coldness in his eyes seemed to melt away a little. He silently extended his hand.
Xie Zhao immediately understood and handed over the fragments and the black jade box.
Chu Linyuan took it, condensed a trace of extremely pure black ice evil energy at his fingertips, and slowly injected it into the fragments.
This time, the icy blue light shone gently, no longer violently. He carefully examined the ancient patterns on the fragment, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Attracting evil spirits..." He whispered to himself, and his fingertips attracted a trace of evil spirits, which moved slowly along an extremely fine line on the fragment.
When the evil energy flowed through a certain, incomplete node, the dim light on the fragments suddenly flickered, and produced an extremely weak resonance with the "Killing Immortals and Attracting Evil Pivot" rune at the core of the tower base in the distance!
A gleam of light flashed in Chu Linyuan's eyes!
"Brother! Did you feel it?" Xie Zhao also caught the resonance in that moment and moved closer excitedly. "The incomplete rune on this fragment is integrated with the core driving rune of our tower base! In other words, it's different parts of the same ancient rune array system!"
Chu Linyuan nodded slightly, his cold face revealing a look of concentration for the first time as he studied. The murderous energy at his fingertips became more concentrated as he carefully attempted to repair the broken joint.
Just when the evil spirit was about to reach the node——
"Wow! Senior Brother and Second Brother! Look at the rabbit!" Su Tang exclaimed with incredible excitement!
In the corner of the square, the Moon-Eating Rabbit, which had been held by the white deer, broke free from its restraints at some point!
Its tiny body hovered in mid-air, its ruby eyes blazing with an unprecedented brilliance! Its dark little mouth opened, aiming at a wisp of pure Star Evil Power emanating from the edge of the square's talisman array and fiercely sucking it in!
That strand of power seemed to be pulled by an invisible vortex and instantly sank into the rabbit's mouth!
Countless dense, star-blue, mysterious runes suddenly appeared on the rabbit's snow-white fur!
These runes flowed and combined as if they had life, forming a miniature, constantly rotating star map phantom around its small body!
A faint but clear spatial fluctuation spread out with Tutu as the center!
"Star... Star runes?!" Xie Zhao was so shocked that he almost jumped up. "This rabbit... is absorbing the power of the star evil... awakening its innate magical power?!"
"Gululu!" The rabbit whimpered with satisfaction and a hint of pain. The shadow of the star map on its body flickered, and it seemed to be out of control! Its small body began to expand and contract irregularly!
"Rabbit!" Bai Xiaolu wanted to rush over anxiously, but was held back by Luo Hongyi!
"Don't go over there! The energy is unstable!" Poisonous mist swirled around Luo Hongyi's fingertips, and her beautiful face was filled with solemnity. "It's forcibly digesting and absorbing it! Stupid cow! Get ready to catch it! It might explode!"
Tie Niu's huge body immediately tensed up, his arms spread out like a huge meat pad, staring nervously at the rabbit tumbling in the air.
Chu Linyuan had already put down the fragments, his cold eyes fixed on the star map on Rabbit's body. He saw that the flow of the runes was extremely mysterious, but it seemed to lack a stable "anchor" at the core, causing the energy to be disordered.
Just when the rabbit's body expanded to its limit and the phantom of the star map was on the verge of collapse!
Chu Linyuan moved! His fingers jutted like swords, and a stream of extremely condensed, profoundly icy evil energy, imbued with a powerful will to suppress, pierced like a precise scalpel into the core and most chaotic node of the star map around Rabbit!
The cold voice was like an imperial decree!
Infused and guided by Chu Linyuan's pure power, the raging star runes on Bunny's body instantly stabilized! Its swollen body slowly shrank back to its original shape, like a leak. The star map's shadow no longer flickered, but transformed into a steadily flowing, miniature star shield, imprinted on Bunny's snow-white fur before eventually fading away.
The rabbit landed with a plop into Iron Bull's thick palm. Ruby blinked, still a bit dazed, before burping contentedly. A comfortable gurgle emanated from its throat, and it curled up into a ball and fell asleep. The remaining starlight on its fur slowly faded away.
"Huh..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
