Chapter 788: The Golden cicada (1)
Yao Liu was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Although he stood up with the help of song qingxiao, his body was still trembling.
After using the ‘golden cicada shell shedding’ to escape death once, his body was covered with wounds and mud, which only served to aggravate his pain.
Song Qing looked down on him. He clenched his teeth and staggered a step forward, leaving a clear and bloody footprint on the ground. He could not help but frown.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a small bottle from his hidden space and poured out two blood-red pills.
At this time, she couldn’t help but rejoice that she had met the uncle and nephew of the fan family before this trial and obtained the mustard seed space after killing the coffin-carrying middle-aged man.
The ‘Scarlet blood pills’ collected by the coffin carrying middle-aged man had come in handy at the critical moment. When she was seriously injured and on the verge of death, they had managed to hold her breath, delaying the critical time and allowing the Pearl to recognize her as its master.
Originally, the coffin carrying middle-aged man had collected nine bottles of ‘Scarlet blood pills’, but she had fed one bottle to the silver Wolf before entering the trial. When she was seriously injured, she had randomly eaten some more. At this time, there were only two bottles of Scarlet blood pills ‘left in her mustard seed space.
There were only a few pills in each bottle, and she felt a little heartache when she poured out two pills.
However, the next thing she had to face was the Chu woman who wanted to possess her. This second-grade ‘red blood pill’ only had the effect of regulating qi and blood and consolidating one’s Foundation. The two pills were not of much use to her, but to the seriously injured Yao Liu, they were life-saving things.
She handed the pill to Yao Liu, causing him to be stunned.
At this time, he did not doubt that song qingxiao wanted to drug him. Now that he was so seriously injured, the mission was not completed, and lady Chu had not appeared, even if she did not do anything, he might not be able to last long. Not to mention that the ‘Scarlet blood pill’ was emitting a bitter and refreshing smell of medicinal ingredients, and faintly emitted spiritual power. Yao Liu could also recognize that it was a good thing.
However, he did not expect song qingxiao to hand it to him at such a critical moment.
He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He stretched out his hand as if his whole body was trembling, grabbed the two pills from song Qing’s small palm, and stuffed them into his mouth!
The elixir turned into saliva and slid down his throat into his stomach. It then turned into spiritual power and spread to his veins, stabilizing his condition. In an instant, Yao Liu’s breathing stabilized. Although his condition was still very serious, these two pills could at least allow him to hold on for a while. •■Many thanks.” Yao Liu slowly let out a breath and expressed his thanks. The competition in the trial was brutal, and every participant represented points. Although these two pills could be exchanged for points after leaving the trial scene, it was very likely that they could be exchanged for points.
However, at such a critical moment, song qingxiao was willing to lend a helping hand when she could not even protect herself. This moved Yao Liu.
He knew what song qingxiao’s action meant, so his tone was more sincere. After taking two deep breaths, Yao Liu hesitated for a moment. He endured the pain and took out something from his body and handed it to song qingxiao,
“Be careful.”
in his bloodied palm lay an abnormally small and strange golden cicada. At this moment, it looked somewhat dispirited and listless. Yao Liu’s face twitched, and his eyes revealed a trace of pain.
“Take this,”
This should be the ‘treasure’ that he had used to escape the previous calamity. Song Qing’s eyes lit up. This was a good life-saving item!
She didn’t expect that when she took out the two pills, Yao Liu would actually give her this.
“You’re not using it?”
The Golden cicada in her hand was slightly struggling and shaking with its feelers. It was as if its vitality had been greatly damaged after letting Yao Liu escape in the previous battle.
-I don’t need it.” Yao Liu was somewhat reluctant, but he quickly shook his
head,
“If you keep it now, it might be of use.”
Song qingxiao was in a critical situation. Lady Chu was hiding somewhere, and with such a ‘treasure’, she might be able to save her life.
She also knew the importance of the matter, so she didn’t stand on ceremony with Yao Liu and nodded.
“Alright,” he said.
After the exchange, their expressions became much more sincere than before. Yao Liu laughed twice, but this action seemed to have affected the wounds all over his body. He sucked in a breath of cold air, and after enduring the pain, he whispered,
“My name is Yao Yu, if I can survive this trial, maybe we can be friends.”
Song qingxiao looked helpless when she heard him.
However, this life-and-death juncture would not be easy to pass. Back then, Chu you Sheng had been able to set up a great formation for his daughter on his own, and even after his death, he had still been able to bring the Gu clan to such a state, forcefully dragging the Gu clan into the depths of the Earth’s core. This Chu Lian was definitely not easy to deal with.
What’s more, from the current situation, Chu yousheng’s plan was to let his daughter take over his body. Although this golden cicada could help Yao Liu escape death, he didn’t know if it would be useful in her current situation. The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes revealed a bitter smile.
Just as Yao Liu was about to open his mouth, a wave of spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly came from above their heads. The two’s expressions changed. Song Qing stuffed the Golden cicada in his hand into his bag and raised his head to see a shadow rapidly descending from the sky.
Number Seven’s familiar aura came over, causing the two’s tense nerves to relax.
In a different situation from the two of them who had landed in a sorry state one after the other, number seven relied on his profound cultivation of the nascent soul tier and used his spirit energy to support his body just as he was about to fall to the ground, and he landed steadily beside the two of them. His gaze first swept across Yao Liu’s body, as if he had discovered that his breathing was much more stable than before. A hint of ridicule flashed through his eyes, and then his gaze fell on song Qing, and finally to her waist, stopping for a moment.
The Golden cicada that Yao Liu had given to song qingxiao was hidden there. It was unknown if he had seen it when he had landed or if it was because the restrictions here were much weaker for nascent soul cultivators.
Song qingxiao’s body tensed up when he stared at her.
This number seven wasn’t a person to be trifled with. The Golden cicada Yao Liu had given him was too special. If he wanted to snatch it, he might not be able to keep it with his current strength.
However, for some reason, after looking at her for a long time, number seven revealed a cold smile. To song qingxiao’s surprise, he did not make a move to snatch it. Instead, he squinted his eyes and his expression was dark. No one knew what he was thinking.
Under the invisible pressure, a huge crack opened up above their heads. Most of the Gu residence’s dilapidated buildings had already fallen down, leaving only a few fine grains of sand rolling down, making a rain-like ‘Sha Sha’ sound, bringing with it the hollow echo, making this space filled with thick dust even more spacious.
As the rolling dust gradually settled, the underground space of the Gu mansion, which was previously almost invisible, suddenly became much clearer.
“You guys, look!”
When the atmosphere was tense, Yao Liu’s trembling voice broke the strange silence.
Number seven, who had been staring at song qingxiao, quickly turned his head when he heard Yao Liu’s words.
Yao Liu strenuously raised his hand, his fingertips that couldn’t be straightened pointing straight at the top of his head. A face that couldn’t be seen clearly looked up, his eyes revealing a look of horror.
Number seven turned her face away, and the pressure on song qingxiao’s body was relieved. She followed Yao Liu’s gaze and looked up, only to see an extremely strange scene!
The underground was like a huge Palace. However, the originally empty ground was now filled with junk.
On top of the ‘ceiling’, several slender black shadows were entrenched in the sky like dragons.
in the middle of the Dragon, there seemed to be a long and wide black shadow. The orange light was emitted from that black shadow.
The moment song qingxiao saw the black shadow, she felt as if her heart had been squeezed by someone. The Halo seemed to intertwine with the black shadow, forming an extremely evil and uncomfortable color.
A cold aura of death and despair rose from her feet when she saw the black shadow and climbed up her back. She couldn’t help but shiver. At the same time, a thought appeared in her mind.
It was lady Chu’s coffin!
