Chapter 58 Carrying
However, the aura emanating from this giant creature was immense to her. Although it was not as powerful as the dragon on the reef island, it was still not something she could afford to provoke.
The weak and pathetic Ji Rong plucked all her roots from the earth and hid inside the small island, while a ball of light flickered beside her, following her at a distance.
Ji Rong fled very carefully, but he couldn't escape Jiao Jue's senses; however, he was in a bad mood and had no interest in such a minor repair.
But then he realized something was wrong: the little repairman was actually taking the roots that were inserted into the soil into his own body.
He popped his head out of the water, spewing out a giant wave and releasing the aura of a demon king. He squinted and smiled, "Where are you going, you little...bird monster?"
The little bird monster Ji Rong was suppressed by the powerful aura of intimidation and paused for a moment; then, the leaves inside her body moved slightly, and she ran even faster, while the white light behind her chased even faster. Ji Rong cursed in her heart: "Telling me not to run, do you think I'm stupid!"
Jiao Jue was even more shocked. Had his demon king aura become so ineffective? He couldn't even intimidate a small bird?!
Also, what's that indistinct white light that's following behind?
Jiao Jue immediately gave chase, bursting out of the water with a splash and grabbing Ji Rong in his claws in just a few steps.
When the chubby bird monster Ji Rong was captured, she immediately shook her face and cried out, "Great God, don't eat me! I'm all feathers, I don't taste good!"
Jiao Jue squinted and snapped impatiently, "Shut up! Now, I'll ask, and you answer!"
Ji Rong quickly stretched her neck and nodded vigorously.
"You, what kind of monster are you?" Jiao Jue asked, recalling Ji Rong's roots.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong's face instantly fell, and her cheeks puffed out. This dragon, relying on its high cultivation level, actually dared to insult her!
"Speak!" When the little bird didn't answer, Jiao Jue poked Ji Rong's face with its claws.
"Ouch, it hurts! I'm not a monster!" Ji Rong's face was pierced by Jiao Jue's sharp nails.
"You're not a monster?" Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes, his killing intent rising. He said, "I saw it; your tendrils retracted from the sea. What exactly are you?"
"It's over, he saw us," Ji Rong thought in despair.
Alas, she should have expected this day to come. She closed her eyes, awaiting the impending dissection or being devoured.
"Wait." A voice suddenly rang out.
Ji Rong opened her eyes and saw a white, shimmering object floating in front of her; it was speaking.
It wasn't really speaking; rather, the frequency of its pulse seemed connected, allowing her to understand its meaning.
The shimmering white light said, "Jiaojue, didn't you want to ask about the future? I know."
Jiao Jue put Ji Rong down and, facing the ball of light, said coldly, "Are you the Mirror of Fate?"
Bai Guang ignored Jiao Jue's words and said, word by word, "Follow her, and you will have a bright future."
After saying that, the ball of light ran into Ji Rong's arms.
Ji Rong hurriedly stepped back, but the light flickered and rushed into her arms.
Ji Rong retreated again, while Bai Guang moved forward.
Jiao Jue suddenly stretched out one claw to grab Ji Rong, and the other claw to grab Bai Guang. Bai Guang passed between his claws and said, "Jiao Jue, go with her, and you will have a future."
Jiao Jue remained silent, pondering how to bring this thing back. The white light seemed to see through him and said, "They will not believe you. Your only future is to go with her."
Jiao Jue remained silent; Bai Guang was right.
Many spiritual cultivators in the world thought that the Mirror of Fate was an inanimate object, but now he has discovered that the Mirror of Fate in the Heavenly Fate Palace contains a living consciousness. Therefore, even if he takes it back, the gods of the various palaces will not allow him to live.
Never in his life had he felt so exhausted. He held Ji Rong close to his face and asked bluntly, "Where are you going?"
Ji Rong's face turned bright red as she was being held, and she cried out, "Let go, let go, stop..."
Jiao Jue put Ji Rong down as instructed, and then asked, "Where are you going?"
Ji Rong stroked her fur: "I can't go anymore, I can't find it."
Without a word, Jiao Jue raised a finger and poked a drop of blood onto Ji Rong's face. He handed the blood to the white light ball and asked, "Where to?"
The white light caught the drop of blood, flickering for a while before saying, "Travel five hundred li to the west."
After saying that, she threw herself into Ji Rong's arms, as if she had fallen asleep.
Jiao Jue then picked up Ji Rong and flew five hundred miles west, where there was still a vast expanse of blue sea.
Ji Rong asked Jiao Jue to put her down. She flew forward a bit, and the familiar feeling of repulsion came over her again. Without hesitation, Ji Rong plunged headfirst into it.
Jiao Jue quickly grabbed her feet and lifted Ji Rong upside down.
He squinted at Ji Rong and sneered, "You think you can run? No way!"
He lifted Ji Rong and brought her to the invisible barrier. He touched it with his claws and felt a natural repulsive force.
"What a powerful restriction!" Jiao Jue thought to himself.
If it weren't for seeing that little bird monster about to plunge in, Jiaojue wouldn't have gone this way.
Having reached this point, his body instinctively stopped moving forward and wanted to go somewhere else.
Jiaojue poked the little bird monster curled up in his claws and said, "Let's go, let's break this barrier."
After saying that, he released Ji Rong and said, "Behave yourself. If you run away again, I'll break your wings."
Ji Rong looked at the huge thing in front of her and was very worried.
She suspected that if she took him into the seal, she would die; but if she did nothing, she might die right now.
After weighing her options, Ji Rong decided to feign poverty. She said, "Lord Jiaolong, you are tall and robust, and my magical power is limited. I cannot carry you."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes and sneered. He took out a large spirit crystal from his mouth and said, "Is this enough?"
Ji Rong swallowed hard as she looked at the spirit crystal brimming with spiritual energy, and said with difficulty, "Not enough, I want more..."
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Fairy Spring, the big bottle kind."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes even more. He then took out a jade bottle from his mouth and handed it to Ji Rong, who accepted it with a bitter expression.
She opened the jade bottle, and the familiar scent of water vapor wafted out.
"There really is a fairy spring!" Ji Rong's eyes lit up, and she drank the entire contents of the jade bottle in one gulp.
After finishing the whole bottle, she blinked her eyes, fluttered her wings, and looked at Jiao Jue, saying, "My lord, is there any more? Five more bottles like this, and I can definitely take you inside."
Jiao Jue gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think this is a cabbage?"
But remembering what Bai Guangtuan had said, he took out two more bottles and handed them to Ji Rong, saying curtly, "That's all we have."
Ji Rong took the bottle, removed the stopper, and poured the entire contents of the bottle into her mouth with one hand.
Jiao Jue was dumbfounded. Everyone used the immortal spring to cleanse their physical bodies, but this was the first time he had ever seen a cultivator use it to drink, and drink so much of it.
You should know that good spring water is produced drop by drop.
Because Jiaojue himself is a dragon and loves collecting rare treasures, he managed to accumulate three large bottles, which are now all gone.
After drinking three large bottles of immortal spring water, Ji Rong let out a burp. She happily exhaled a large mouthful of spiritual energy, feeling as if she were parched land receiving a good rain.
The spiritual lake beneath her spiritual altar was filled, and the tiny spiritual veins beneath her feet also grew stronger.
