Chapter 345 Something Unexplainable

"puff……"

With another blow, Hong Xiu finally let the body locked on her loosen completely and hurriedly pushed it away.

The body fell aside like a kite with its string broken.

As soon as he landed on the ground, his limbs squirmed and tried to get up again. However, the body was already covered with scars and most of the body was necrotic. He could only struggle in place and could not get up again.

Hong Xiu took the opportunity to get up in a hurry, and when the surrounding space blockade disappeared, he hurriedly picked up the chain and started to apparate directly.

At this moment, Lin Xue had almost rushed to the Throne of Bones, and was hundreds of meters away from her. Normally, it would be impossible to catch up, but Hong Xiu has the ability to teleport, which is her biggest advantage.

Following a burst of space fluctuations, Hongxiu appeared dozens of meters away, and then without stopping, he hurriedly performed teleportation again.

However, space spells such as teleportation cannot be cast continuously without interruption. If it is cast forcibly, it will cause a huge burden on the body.

After teleporting for the second time, Hongxiu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and felt extremely dizzy.

However, at this time of life and death, she had no chance to rest. The moment she landed, she hurriedly threw the chain towards Lin Xue in front of her.

"Ding!"

Lin Xue was already prepared for this. The moment the chain flew towards him, the sickle in his hand accurately swung back, knocking the sharp edge of the chain aside.

At the same time, he took advantage of the force coming from the chain and jumped forward again.

Seeing that the opponent was about to step onto the stone steps where the inheritance was, Hong Xiu gritted his teeth and had no choice but to teleport again. At the same time, he had already thrown out the chain in his hand before teleporting.

The burden of teleporting three times in a row was unimaginable. When Hong Xiu appeared again, blood was bleeding from his mouth, nose and ears. He was so disoriented that he almost fainted on the spot.

However, she still relied on her will to survive in the face of life and death to carry it through without fainting.

At this time, her position was already at the bottom of the stone steps, only one step away from the throne.

At the same time, with her appearance, the chain that had been thrown out also moved over, quietly appeared behind Lin Xue's head, and attacked Lin Xue at an extremely tricky angle.

At this time, Lin Xue had already stepped onto the stone steps and stretched out her hand towards the energy group. She was about to touch it, but she did not expect that the other party would suddenly attack in this way. She was unable to dodge and was directly hit by the chain. The helmet, like a spiritual snake, slipped in through the gap between the helmet's eyes.

The next second, the chain was retracted, and Lin Xue finally stepped onto the steps and was pulled back.

Also brought out was a blue soul. The eyes of the soul body were hooked by the tip of the chain and slowly led outward.

As long as the soul hooking rope hits the body of a creature, it can draw out the soul of the creature and cause permanent necrosis of the organ at the hit location.

However, at this moment, although Lin Xue's soul was drawn out by the chain, the soul body was stuck just a short distance after leaving the body, and could not continue to be pulled.

Because this is the weapon of Death after all, and both of them are heirs of Death's bloodline. Just like Lin Xue's sickle cannot leave the mark of Death on Hong Xiu's body, Hong Xiu's chains cannot truly swallow Lin Xue's soul.

So at this moment, the relationship between Lin Xue's soul body and the chain was like a tug of war.

And this effect is exactly what Hongxiu wants to achieve.

Her strength was much higher than that of Lin Xue. At this moment, she restrained the opponent and immediately pulled her here with all her strength.

However, just when Hong Xiu thought that he could forcefully drag the opponent here, he saw Lin Xue suddenly raise the sickle and decisively slash towards the spot where the chain hooked the soul.

The next moment, the blade passed by, and the soul and the chain were immediately split into two.

A small part of the soul was pulled and swallowed by the chain, and then returned to Hong Xiu's hands, while the remaining soul immediately returned to Lin Xue's body.

"madman……"

This word came to Hongxiu's mind subconsciously.

Originally, Lin Xue's soul would not be taken away by the chains, but the soul that was forcibly cut off by her would be swallowed up and could not return to its original body.

Lin Xue, who had cut off his soul, seemed to have done a small thing casually, then turned around and rushed up the stone steps again without stopping.

Hongxiu also reacted immediately, hurriedly took out a soul-suppressing stone and crushed it. At the same time, he waved his wand and released the phantom again.

After teleporting four times in a row, a normal person would have been unconscious by now. Fortunately, the interval between the last one and the last one was relatively long, which diluted some of the mental shock. Coupled with the soul-stabilizing stone's stabilizing effect, she was able to persevere.

The next moment, Hongxiu appeared on the stone steps.

The sphere containing surging energy is already close at hand.

At this time, Lin Xue had just stepped onto the stone steps, two steps behind her.

"I'm faster!"

Hong Xiu was overjoyed and subconsciously stretched out her hand forward.

But the moment her fingers touched the surface of the energy mass, her smile instantly froze.

Because at this time, she already knew in her mind that the God of Death was about to take away her things.

"The thing you value most - is your appearance!"

"Sacrifice your appearance, and you will gain my power, and at the same time you will become the ugliest person in the world!"

Hongxiu was stunned. What she cherished most was not her children, but... her appearance?

At this time, the surging energy was already flowing along her arms and pouring crazily into her body.

But Hong Xiu was shaken, because she had already felt a painful itching on her right cheek, as if countless tiny bugs were crawling, and the itching area continued to expand.

When she thought of the description of "the ugliest", her arms couldn't help but tremble, and she even subconsciously wanted to pull them back.

At this moment, Lin Xue rushed over from the side, like a long-dried fish jumping into the sea, and plunged into the energy ball without reservation.

Hong Xiu looked at Lin Xue, whose face was still covered with tears, in a daze, and couldn't help but think of what she had just said to her not long ago: If you don't have this little bit of awareness, why are you fighting for the inheritance of the God of Death?

Why? Why can she be so decisive?

What she cherishes most is...

The next moment, Hong Xiu felt herself starting to retreat.

The impact of Lin Xue rushing into the energy ball pushed her back out.

Hongxiu lost her balance and fell backwards. She saw from the corner of her eyes that the body of the old man had stood up on the riverbed in the distance. He was facing this side. His body from the tip of his hair to the soles of his feet began to break into powder and disappear bit by bit...

"What a joke, it's actually this kind of thing..." Hongxiu felt it was really unreasonable. How could the body of a dead person be compared with the most important appearance of a woman.

In the light ball, Lin Xue looked back with tears in her eyes. She seemed to see her grandmother smiling at her at the end of her disappearance.

The next moment, she was completely surrounded by surging energy, and her consciousness fell into chaos...

...

When Lin Xue opened her eyes again, she found herself in a garden.

Looking around, familiar gardens, familiar flowers and plants.

This is the garden of her grandmother's house. When she was a child, she and Lin Hai often played here.

And she was wearing children's clothes at this time, keeping the appearance of eight years old, lying on someone's legs, just waking up from sleep.

Turning around, I saw that my grandma was sitting on a rocking chair next to a big tree, holding a book in one hand and waving the other hand over her head, driving away all the mosquitoes, bees and butterflies that wanted to get close to her.

"Grandma..." Lin Xue said in a childish voice, looking at her grandma in confusion, still unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Xiaoxue, are you awake?"

The old man looked at her kindly and wiped the tears from her eyes: "Are you having a nightmare again?"

"Well... I had a terrible nightmare..."

Xiao Linxue also wiped her eyes with her little hand, looking frightened: "I dreamed... Grandma passed away... Then I lost Grandma's body..."

The old man was surprised and smiled: "That was really a nightmare... But, Grandma's death is something you will experience sooner or later."

"How could it be?"

Xiao Linxue immediately retorted: "Grandma will definitely live a hundred years, she will definitely live longer than me!"

"Live a hundred years, I'm afraid I can't do it..." The old man smiled bitterly and looked at the girl softly: "Grandma's life span can be counted by counting the days with your fingers."

Xiao Linxue looked at the old man in confusion: "Can a person's life span be fixed?"

"Others can't, but Grandma's can." The old man said.

"I don't understand."

Lin Xue shook her head blankly, feeling a little uneasy: "Grandma, are you sick? Then I will go to study medicine in the future. I am very smart. I will definitely learn the best medical skills. No matter how difficult the disease is, I will help you cure it!"

The old man shook his head with a smile: "Grandma's disease cannot be cured by medical skills..."

"Why?" Little Lin Xue became even more panicked, and her eyes were suddenly filled with mist: "Then how can I help grandma?"

The old man shook his head and wanted to tell her the truth, but looking at the girl in front of him with tears, he softened his heart.

"If one day, you encounter something that you can't explain no matter what, maybe there is a chance to cure grandma's disease..."

"No matter what, something that can't be explained..." Little Lin Xue murmured, and after a while, she suddenly smiled.

"Okay, then I'll go find it!"

The girl smiled and took the old man's hand, clasping her little fingers together: "I will definitely try my best to find it until I find something that I absolutely can't explain. Grandma, let's make a pinky promise, you must wait for me until that day..."

Little Lin Xue shook the old man's hand.

The old man looked at the girl's tearful smile and shook his head helplessly: "No, Xiaoxue..."

"Ah?" Xiao Linxue was stunned.

"Have you forgotten, Xiaoxue? You have found the thing that you can't explain..."

The old man's voice made Linxue stunned, and a lot of memories came to her mind.

She finally remembered that it was from this day that she had been looking for it. From school, to work, to studying abroad, from childhood to adulthood, she had never forgotten this matter in all her busyness, and even dragged Xiaohai with her.

Looking for things that cannot be explained has become a very important thing in the lives of the two siblings.

When Linhai grew up, he chose to become an anchor and searched for strange events all over the country in the most direct way.

And Linxue was more tactful, because she found that those so-called strange people and things were all fake.

So she chose to decipher all the strange people and things recorded in the book, so that if one day she could encounter a question that she absolutely could not explain, she could fulfill her promise to her grandmother.

And she actually encountered this question on her 24th birthday, in a dilapidated sawmill.

She followed the clues and eventually found a pet shop, where she lived and worked. During this period, she discovered more and more things that she could not explain.

However, as she understood more and more, she gradually understood what her grandmother meant. The loss of lifespan is an unchangeable rule. When it is used up, you will die. There may be a chance to replenish it, but it is not something she can get at that time.

Then, it was grandma's funeral...

Today, she witnessed grandma's body disappearing like smoke in the grave of the god of death...

When Lin Xue remembered everything, her figure had returned to normal.

"Grandma..." Lin Xue choked and looked at the old man beside her. She knew that this was grandma's final farewell to her.

"Xiaoxue, you are a nostalgic child, but you know, it's time to let go..." The old man looked at her kindly and said.

"But I haven't done anything for you yet..." Lin Xue looked at the old man reluctantly and guiltily.

She has been busy studying medicine, busy looking for answers, busy doing many things, but she has neglected the most important companionship.

Looking back, she realized that the situation of "a son wants to take care of his parents but they are no longer there" had really happened to her.

"Silly child, you have done enough."

The old man looked at her helplessly: "Now, it's time to get out of the past and live for yourself..."

Lin Xue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a noise in the distance and turned her head to look.

In the blank area in the distance, Mu You, Xiao Ya, Vivian, and those familiar animals... appeared one after another, waving at her, as if calling her over.

"Are you happy there?" Grandma's voice sounded with a smile.

"Well..."

"That's good, I can leave with peace of mind."

The old man breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at her with a smile: "Go quickly, they are all waiting for you."

In the soft voice, Lin Xue's consciousness gradually became trance.

She let go of the old man's hand and walked forward subconsciously.

It was not until she was close to the crowd that she woke up and looked back hurriedly.

However, there was already a blank behind her, and there was no figure of grandma anymore.

Lin Xue closed her eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the dark graveyard of the god of death.

A large mass of visible energy surged around her, and this energy extended upward, forming a prototype of a giant skeleton more than ten meters high, wrapping her tightly inside, but the giant skeleton was only missing the left arm.

As she raised the sickle in her right hand, an illusory sickle of the god of death suddenly appeared in the right hand of the giant skeleton outside her body, and immediately followed her to make the same action.

"Ahhhhh..."

While Lin Xue was still trying to understand what the inheritance of the god of death was, Hong Xiu's scream suddenly sounded.

At this moment, Hong Xiu fell to the ground under the stone steps in front of her, covering her cheek with her left hand, and her right arm was covered with a layer of energy balls several meters long, which eventually formed the shape of a giant arm.

At the same time, the right half of her face and the part of the left jaw were all covered with dense scars. The density and distortion of the scars have reached the point where people will have psychological trauma at a glance.

Seeing Hongxiu's appearance, Lin Xue suddenly felt her vision blurred, her consciousness seemed to be controlled by some kind of brutality, and her eyes were only blood red.

She raised her right hand involuntarily and smashed forward.

As she moved, the giant body covering the outside immediately followed the same action.

The huge and heavy giant arm waved the sickle and smashed heavily towards Hongxiu on the ground.

Hongxiu looked at this scene in fear, her body trembling constantly, but she still subconsciously raised her right arm to resist.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the whole cave shook violently several times, and was directly covered by the loud noise and smoke produced by the impact.
