After Wendy fell asleep, Xiao brought in some food and placed it by her bedside so that Wendy would see a hot meal as soon as she woke up.
As for myself, I should set off.
After speaking to Zhongli, Xiao picked up He Puyuan again and looked at the Trial Tower in front of him.
Yes, the box containing the last soul was actually located at the top of the Tower of Trials.
No one ever imagined that there would be something at the top of the Tower of Trials.
Xiao launched himself forward and began running directly across the tower of the Trial Tower. The Trial Tower seemed to be frightened by Xiao's audacity, and for a moment, the black aura surrounding the Trial Tower itself became even thicker.
Jinpeng, who prides himself on speed, is second to none in this aspect. In just a few breaths, Xiao had already reached the vicinity of the top of the tower. With a powerful leap, he jumped up and thrust downwards with Pu Yuan, piercing the tower body. Xiao's foot landed steadily on Pu Yuan's spear, and then he jumped again.
"I can see it, the top of the tower, humph..." Xiao originally wanted to go directly to the top of the tower, but found himself surrounded by various mists. Xiao dared not be careless and landed on He Puyuan's gun.
The fog grew thicker, and Xiao felt a biting wind brush against his face, a slight pain shooting through it as karmic splattered and blood slowly trickled down. Xiao nonchalantly wiped his wound, tilting his head slightly to the left. An arrow grazed his hair; Xiao leaped, grabbed He Pu Yuan, and thrust it in the direction the arrow had come from.
"It won't pierce through." Xiao's eyes widened slightly; even something as hard as the He Pu Yuan couldn't penetrate it. Thinking this, Xiao immediately leaped up and continued running on the Trial Tower, but this time he ran downwards.
The arrow was very fast, and it almost hit Xiao several times. Suddenly, a rectangle appeared in front of Xiao, with the elemental aura he was most familiar with on it.
Xiao didn't have time to think much. He stepped onto the rectangle, steadied himself, and circled around with Pu Yuan to block the remaining arrows. Then, sensing the strong rock elemental aura on his body, Xiao and Pu Yuan charged forward again.
Now, Xiao could see clearly what the monster in front of him was: a giant robot whose eyes could shoot arrows.
He's pretty much the same as the one-eyed Xiao Bao I saw in Dihuazhou.
However, this robot can also fly in the air, causing Xiao a lot of trouble.
But Xiao was fearless. With two wind wheels standing upright, he reached the top of the robot's head, raised it high, and thrust it down forcefully.
The blade pierced in slightly, and Xiao's hand was imbued with wind elemental power. With the support of the wind elemental power, the robot's core was quickly pierced.
Just as Xiao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, more arrows whizzed past him. However, Xiao did not panic. With a slight twist of his slender and powerful waist, he dodged all the arrows. Then, Xiao turned around and saw many huge robots.
Moreover, these robots feel incredibly out of place; their large mechanical bodies are carried by tiny mechanical wings, creating a strange, almost inexplicable, feeling.
However, none of this could stop Xiao. With the rock ridge there, Xiao could instantly appear behind these robots and then return. At least, there was a place on the towering Trial Tower where he could stand firm.
Xiao saw no threat from these robots and quickly dealt with them.
At this moment, Xiao noticed that the fog had become even thicker.
With no other option, Xiao could only lift up He Puyuan and continue running upwards.
And a rock ridge is generated with every movement of Xiao, as if to prevent Xiao from suddenly losing strength and collapsing.
Even if Xiao runs out of strength, the rock ridge can catch it steadily.
This is the sense of security that Zhongli possesses!
"Hmm..." On the ship, Zhongli's expression was very solemn. He walked out of the cabin and looked at the giant eye in the sky that only gods could see. The giant eye was scanning everything. After sensing the gaze, the giant eye changed color for a moment, turning into a black that was difficult for mortals to detect, and then it changed back.
One eye and one spirit stared silently at the other. After a moment, Zhongli withdrew his gaze. He couldn't see who was controlling the giant eye. However, Zhongli secretly made a note of it: this national destiny might be more troublesome than ever before!
I wonder if, with that drunken poet and myself, plus the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, we could overcome this ordeal?
While Zhongli and the giant eye were locked in a staring contest, Xiao had already reached the top of the Trial Tower, grabbed the box into his arms, and then began to plummet rapidly!
At the top of the tower, Xiao could no longer see the ground, only the white clouds. As his body plummeted rapidly, Xiao saw the azure sea and, directly below him, a rocky ridge!
With one foot landing on the rocky ridge, Xiao leaped up again, followed by an endless stream of arrows that seemed to have a tracking function, relentlessly pursuing him!
The wooden boat was now in sight. Xiao flipped in the air and landed gently on the boat. Zhongli saw the box Xiao was holding, nodded, and stretched out his right hand. Thick rock elemental energy formed in Zhongli's hand, and soon a shield made of rock elemental energy appeared in front of Zhongli.
Unlike Ningguang's vortex screen, and unlike the Hilichurls' rock shield, Zhongli's rock shield looked flimsy, but the arrows shattered into powder upon contact with it, to the point that it was impossible to tell that it had ever been an arrow.
In this world, Xiao gave the box to Fanan. After Fanan finished processing the memories, he remembered everything.
"Your Majesty, and also, Jinpeng." The power of the demon slowly surged into his body. Xiao, who had been lost, was regained, and tears slowly slid down his cheeks.
"Oh dear, our little Golden Roc is crying! Come here, don't cry, don't cry." Fa Nan was taken aback when he saw Xiao crying. After all, Xiao had never cried, whether it was when Zhongli first brought him back or when they parted. But now Xiao was crying?
Very rare.
But it's good too.
Fanan paused for only a moment before gently stroking Xiao's head, while Xiao sobbed silently.
"Hmm?" Wendy, who was fast asleep, sensed the emotional fluctuation. She got up, touched her face, and ouch, it still hurt. Oh well, she decided not to go out and see anyone.
Xiao's crying didn't last long this time. Soon, he went into Wendy's room with a blank expression. However, the sharp-eyed Vanan still noticed Xiao's red ears.
"How adorable." Fa Nan chuckled softly, then felt a pang of guilt.
Jin Peng waited alone for so many years; he must have been very lonely.
This time, I must not only protect Jinpeng, Liyue, and the Emperor, but also protect myself.
The feeling of getting something back is exciting, but we can't be separated again.
(Resurrected corpse~)
