Ling Ye felt a slight warmth in his heart. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Qian Renxue's arm.
"Well..." Qian Renxue murmured unconsciously, her long eyelashes trembled violently a few times, and she suddenly opened her eyes! Those golden eyes instantly focused on Ling Ye's face after the confusion when he first woke up, and his pupils suddenly dilated!
"Ling...Ling Ye?!" She almost sat up, subconsciously grabbing Ling Ye's shoulders with both hands, so hard that Ling Ye felt a little painful. Her eyes were filled with unbelievable ecstasy and huge fear, and her voice had an imperceptible tremor: "You...you're awake?! You're really awake?! Do you know...you've been in a coma for ten days!!"
"Ten days?" Ling Ye was also stunned. The passage of time is blurred in the perception of plane fusion. I didn't expect that so much time has passed in the outside world.
"Ten days! A whole ten days!" Qian Renxue's voice suddenly rose, "Grandpa (Qian Daoliu) and all the healing soul masters in the Pope's Palace have checked your body over and over again. Everything is normal! There is nothing wrong with your heartbeat, breathing, and soul power! But you just can't wake up! It's like... it's like your soul has been taken away! We... we are all going crazy!"
She looked at her. Ling Ye still had a dazed face. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the surging emotions, but the concern and inquiry in his eyes did not diminish at all: "Ling Ye, what happened to you? What happened in front of the statue that day? Why was he suddenly unconscious for so long? Is it... that the blind box spirit has some backlash? Or... is there something abnormal about the angel statue?" Her eyes became sharper, with the insight of a superior.
Facing Qian Renxue’s barrage of questions and the look in his eyes that almost looked through him, Ling Ye’s thoughts changed rapidly. The Lord of the Planes, the Core of the Continent, the Conspiracy of the Divine Realm, the Fall of the Angel God... These information are too shocking, and speaking out now will only cause unnecessary panic and suspicion, and may even bring greater danger to oneself.
His thoughts were racing, and the unique confusion and confusion of a child appeared on his face at the right time. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, as if he was still trying to recall the chaotic feeling: "That day... when I was looking at the statue... my mind buzzed, as if... I fell into a place full of light..." He spoke slowly and with a bit of uncertainty, "That place felt very warm and comfortable... but I felt that I only stayed there for a while! I didn't expect that ten days had passed!"
Looking at Qian Renxue's still furrowed brows, Ling Ye changed the topic, with a bit of surprise and uncertainty on his face, and tried to use his soul power: "But Sister Xue, it seems... it's not all bad? I feel... my soul power seems to have become a lot stronger! Now... I should be at level 40!" He deliberately released a wave of aura that was obviously more condensed and thicker than before he was unconscious.
"Level 40?!" Qian Renxue's attention was diverted instantly, and a trace of genuine surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes. After being in a coma for ten days, his soul power increased instead of falling, and he broke through the bottleneck?
Hmm! " Ling Ye nodded vigorously, his eyes flashed with excitement at the right time, "The soul power has increased, maybe... you won't drive those weird and useless things anymore? Sister Xue, how about... try it now?"
“Blind box!” These two words seemed to have magic power, instantly clearing all the doubts in Qian Renxue’s mind! Nothing is as important as the blind box! She is an African chief who has been deeply hurt by "a little soul power" and "golden soul coins"! At this moment, the dawn of bidding farewell to the African chiefs and welcoming the European emperor seems to be right in front of us!
Qian Renxue's cold golden eyes lit up instantly, as if two small flames were lit. The previous solemn inquiry was replaced by a light that was mixed with anticipation, tension and unwillingness to admit defeat. She took a deep breath and straightened her back, as if to welcome a sacred ceremony: "Okay! Let's try it! I want to see what 'surprise' you can bring me this time!"
Ling Ye smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was serious. He stretched out his white and tender little hand, palm upward, and a soft and mysterious halo slowly emerged. The halo rotates, as if gestating stars, and the bright starlight begins to condense and compress, gradually turning into five palm-sized cubes, filled with dense mist and mysterious runes - a blind box! It was suspended in front of him, exuding an alluring luster.
“Let’s get started!” Ling Ye signaled.
Qian Renxue's eyes were burning, and with a determination to "break the curse", she reached for the first blind box. With the touch of your fingertips, the blind box opens.
Buzz!
A soft stream of white light flowed out and instantly submerged into Qian Renxue's body. A familiar warm current surged through his limbs and bones. It was very comfortable, and his soul power did solidify and grow a little.
The expectation on Qian Renxue's face froze for an instant, and then, a blue vein visibly stretched on her forehead: "??? Are you kidding me?! How come you still have 'some soul power'?! Ling! Ye!" She almost squeezed out Ling Ye's name through her teeth, and glared with murderous intent in her golden eyes. Where did you say goodbye to the African Emirates? ! This "good start" is so shocking!
Ling Ye shrank his neck and quickly apologized: "Uh...Sister Xue, calm down! It seems...it seems that although my soul power level has been improved, it is still far behind yours. Maybe...it needs to be improved again?" He scratched his head and quickly diverted his attention, "Don't be discouraged! What if the next one is a super grand prize? There is always a surprise in the next box!"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to smash the remaining boxes, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I believe you for the last time!" She pointed at the second blind box with a tragic aura of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold."
Buzz!
This time, when the blind box was opened, there was no energy flowing out. Instead, a strange card about the size of a palm floated out, made of neither gold nor jade, and had warm tentacles. The entire body of the card is a deep dark gold color, and its edges are engraved with countless delicate, ancient and mysterious runes that seem to contain the rules of the flow of life. In the center of the card, there is an abstract humanoid pattern outlined with simple and mysterious lines, with both hands holding the heart, as if performing some kind of sacred devotion.
An indescribable weak wave with an aura of compassion and sacrifice emanated from the card.
"This... what is this?" Qian Renxue held this strange card with doubts on her face, turning it over and over, "A... card? What's the use?"
"This is called a 'sacrifice card'. As the name suggests, its function is to...replace the life of the sacrificer."
"Replace...life?" Qian Renxue was even more puzzled.
"In layman's terms," Ling Ye organized his words, "For example, there is a soul beast that is willing to sacrifice for you, devoting all its power, soul ring, and even soul to you. In this process, the sacrificer himself is bound to die. However, if you use this "Sacrifice Card" during the sacrifice ceremony..."
Ling Ye paused and emphasized his tone: "It can replace the sacrificer to bear the price of the 'life sacrifice'! The sacrifice ceremony will be completed smoothly, you can still get the soul ring and power, but the sacrificer... will not die! It is equivalent to this card, die for it."
Qian Renxue was stunned, she looked at this seemingly ordinary card in her hand Film, feeling the strange fluctuations, her eyes were filled with disbelief: "How... how is this possible?! There is such a thing in the world that defies the heavens? Replacing the price of life?" Then, she frowned slightly, with a hint of self-deprecation and disapproval, "But... what is the use of this thing to me? Can I still expect a soul beast to take the initiative to sacrifice for me? Do you think it's all that grass?"
However, the moment she finished speaking, a bolt of lightning pierced the darkness flashed across her mind! An extremely clear picture suddenly emerged - the cruel and tragic words in "The Adventures of Tang San"!
"The final test of the divine test...the inheritance of angels...taking life and soul as the guide...opening the road to heaven..."
Grandpa...Qiandaoliu!
Qian Renxue was shaken all over! The fingers holding the card tightened instantly, and the knuckles turned white from the exertion! That seemingly ordinary card seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds at this moment, carrying a scorching temperature!
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ling Ye! Those golden eyes that always carry a noble and distant look are like being thrown into a lake with a huge boulder, causing a stormy wave! Shock, disbelief, ecstasy, fear, and a kind of huge joy like surviving a catastrophe, all kinds of emotions were wildly intertwined, and finally turned into hot tears, which instantly filled the eyes and rolled down like broken pearls!
"Ling Ye!!" Her voice was filled with uncontrollable choking and trembling. She stepped forward and hugged the little figure in front of her tightly into her arms! The force was so strong that it seemed to rub him into his own bones and blood. "Thank you!! Really... really thank you!! This reward... is... too precious to me! It is ten thousand times more precious than any soul bone... any power...!!"
Her tears fell on Ling Ye's shoulder, hot and real. It was a feeling of gratitude and redemption that came from the depths of the soul, letting go of all pride and defensiveness. She finally understood the meaning of Ling Ye's words "you will use it" and "ask grandpa"! This card was not prepared for illusory soul beasts, but for her only close relative, her grandfather who was destined to pave the way for her with his life! This is the only hope to reverse fate and save the lives of loved ones!
Ling Ye was caught off guard by the sudden hug and the raging tears, but feeling the excitement and gratitude from Qian Renxue's soul, a wave of warmth and relief surged in his heart. He stretched out his little hand and patted Qian Renxue's slightly trembling back. His voice was soothing: "Sister Xue, stop crying. This is a good thing! Put it away quickly, we will use it later."
Qian Renxue took several deep breaths before she managed to suppress her turbulent emotions. She let go of Ling Ye and carefully put the sacrifice card close to her body, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world. She wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand. Although her eyes were still slightly red, her golden eyes regained their astonishing look, brighter and firmer than ever before! It was as if a heavy shackle that had been carried for a long time was lifted.
"Okay!" She adjusted her breathing, her voice still had a hint of nasality, but it was full of unprecedented relaxation and expectation, "Continue! I want to see if the goddess of luck is really on my side today!"
With an almost pious European emperor's mentality that was ignited by a huge surprise, Qian Renxue once again set her sights on the remaining three blind boxes. Her fingertips trembled with a hint of unnoticeable excitement, and she pointed at the third blind box!
Hum——! ! !
The moment the blind box was opened, there was no earth-shattering burst of energy, but instead an extremely pure and extremely cold air escaped! The temperature of the entire quiet room dropped suddenly, and tiny ice crystals even condensed in the air and fell! A silver light that was as cold as moonlight and as sharp as a divine blade suddenly lit up like a sleeping ice dragon opening its eyes!
In the light, a strange-shaped skeleton about a foot long slowly emerged. It is not in the shape of an ordinary soul bone, but presents an extremely smooth and elegant streamlined shape, like a pair of miniature wing blades made of ten thousand years of black ice and star cold iron! The whole body is crystal clear, like the purest crystal carving, but it exudes a cold and hard luster like metal. The edges of the bones were extremely sharp, and just by being suspended there, it seemed as if they were cutting open the surrounding space, making a tiny, scalp-numbing hissing sound!
Powerful soul power fluctuations mixed with the ferocious icy aura of the apex predator filled the air, making Qian Renxue shiver, but an even brighter light burst out from her eyes!
"Soul bone! It's a soul bone!"
"And... look at this form and aura... it's a rare externally attached soul bone!"
“A spirit bone attached to the outside?!” Qian Renxue’s voice rose slightly due to excitement. She carefully stretched out her hands, and the pair of miniature ice-wing sword bones seemed to be pulled, and slowly fell into her palms. The tentacles were bone-chillingly cold, as if they were holding two pieces of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years in the depths of the polar regions, but within that coldness there was a strange affinity that vaguely echoed the angelic light in her body!
Handbone After acquiring the soul bone, Ling Ye began to introduce it - this is a rare external soul bone produced by an ice-type apex predator fifteen thousand years ago (presumably some kind of powerful ice-type dragon or sub-dragon species): the Ice Wing Sword Bone! It can be attached to the shoulder blade. After fusion, it can not only give powerful ice attribute attack power and ultimate sharp cutting ability, but also condense the ice crystal sword wings in the physical or energy state, greatly improving the speed and ability to stay in the air! Its potential will continue to evolve as the host's strength increases!
"Ice Wings...Sword Bones..." Qian Renxue murmured the name, feeling the majestic power and coldness coming from her palms, and her heart was filled with excitement. The angel martial spirit and divine light seemed to conflict with the extreme coldness, but at her level, she had already understood that there was no absolute conflict between the powers. The sharpness and speed bonus of this ice wing sword bone, as well as the control potential of the frozen things, if they can be perfectly integrated, will definitely make her even more powerful! What's more important is that the attached soul bone is rare and can grow, and its value far exceeds that of ordinary soul bones!
"Sister Xue, you are definitely the daughter of the goddess of luck today!" Ling Ye sighed sincerely as he looked at Qian Renxue's surprised look. Once the African Emirates turned around, they were simply unstoppable!
