Chapter 235 Deep Blue Crystal
How could Xiao Yixian not hear the other meaning in Xiao Ling's words? Her cheeks could not help but blush. With a hint of embarrassment, she gently patted Xiao Ling on the shoulder, and her voice was a little coquettish: "What are you thinking about all day?"
After a while, Zi Yan and Qing Lin on the side also came to Xiao Ling.
Qing Lin asked Xiao Yixian with concern: "Sister Xiao Yixian, how do you feel?"
After Xiao Ling's treatment, Xiao Yixian's injuries have been relieved. She gently got up from Xiao Ling's arms and responded with a smile: "It's okay now, thanks to Xiao Ling's treatment."
At this time, Zi Yan's eyes turned to the Abyss Water Crocodile King not far away. It was lying on the ground weakly, obviously deeply affected by Xiao Yixian's poison.
Tugged at Xiao Ling's sleeve, Zi Yan raised the current problem: "Xiao Ling, that guy seems to be poisoned. How should we deal with it next?"
Hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Ling and the other two turned their eyes to the Abyss Water Crocodile King. The huge body of the Abyss Water Crocodile King was covered with spots caused by toxins. Despite this, its chest was still rising and falling slightly, showing signs of life. Although it was poisoned, it was not fatal.
Xiao Ling quietly observed the Abyss Water Crocodile King for a moment, and then he said calmly: "As the guardian of this relic, the Abyss Water Crocodile King has fulfilled its duties. Now it is no longer able to fight, and we have no reason to continue to hurt it. Since Xian'er has proved our strength, I believe we have won the qualification to enter the relic, and there is no need to take hostile actions."
Others listened to Xiao Ling's words and agreed. Although the Deep Lanyuan Crystal in the Abyss Water Crocodile King's body is quite attractive to them, considering that this demon beast has been guarding this valley alone for a thousand years in order to be loyal to its master, its loyalty and dedication are worthy of respect.
Xiao Yixian added: "It sticks to its post and is loyal. This spirit is admirable. We should give it due respect."
Qinglin is kind-hearted and nodded: "Yes, it has fulfilled its duty as a guardian. Now, we should help it recover instead of taking advantage of its misfortune."
Zi Yan stood quietly aside and did not express her opinion. As a magic beast, she did not have a deep understanding of the complex emotions of humans, but in Zi Yan's heart, Xiao Ling's decision was naturally correct.
Xiao Ling slowly walked towards the Abyss Water Crocodile King, the huge magic beast was lying quietly on the ground. Xiao Ling stopped and his eyes were at the same level as the pupils of the Abyss Water Crocodile King. However, the eyes of the Abyss Water Crocodile King were closed at this time, and Xiao Ling could not read its emotions from them.
Without beating around the bush, Xiao Ling directly and frankly said to the Abyss Water Crocodile King: "Abyss Water Crocodile King, my companions have proved our strength. I believe you should be able to recognize our right to enter the ruins. If you agree, I am willing to let my companions remove the poison from your body for you."
His words were concise and clear, which not only showed their intentions, but also put forward a suggestion that was beneficial to both parties. Xiao Ling knew that respect and sincerity were the key to communicating with this guardian. He quietly waited for the response of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, showing a calm and confident attitude.
Although the Abyss Water Crocodile King was poisoned, its consciousness was still clear. It could feel Xiao Ling's approach and heard the words he said before.
After a period of silence, the Abyss Water Crocodile King finally responded. Its eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened and stared at Xiao Ling in front of it.
Now that it has closed the distance with Xiao Ling, although it cannot feel the specific cultivation fluctuations from Xiao Ling, the Abyss Water Crocodile King's body instinctively tells it that the human in front of it has terrifying strength and can easily kill itself.
This also confirmed its thoughts. Even if Xiao Ling did not directly participate in the battle with him, the aura and calmness he showed were enough to prove that he was the strongest among the four.
With such strength, he was indeed qualified to receive the inheritance left by his master.
Then, the Abyss Water Crocodile King nodded slightly, and said to Xiao Ling in a low and powerful voice: "Human, you have passed the test and have the right to enter the ruins left by that adult."
After receiving the affirmative reply from the Abyss Water Crocodile King, Xiao Ling also nodded and expressed his gratitude: "Okay, thank you very much." Then, he turned and waved to Xiao Yixian: "Xian'er, please treat it now."
Xiao Yixian heard Xiao Ling's instructions, nodded slightly, and walked to the side of the Abyss Water Crocodile King with lotus steps.
She stretched out her slender hands and gently floated above the body of the Abyss Water Crocodile King. The air around her seemed to solidify because of her movements. A gentle fighting spirit gushed out from her palms, forming a faint green halo, slowly covering the wound of the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
The green light in the halo gradually penetrated into the skin of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, and the toxins in its body began to be absorbed by this strange power. The Abyss Water Crocodile King felt a cool feeling spreading in his body, and the original burning and pain gradually eased, and his breathing became steady.
As time passed, the poison spots on the Abyss Water Crocodile King's body began to gradually fade, and his body was rejuvenated again. Xiao Yixian retracted his hands and looked at the results of his treatment with satisfaction.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King stood up, and he felt unprecedented relief. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yixian with a gentle look, and his low voice was full of gratitude: "Thank you, human."
Facing the abyss water crocodile king's thanks, the little medical fairy waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, we didn't have much conflict in the first place, and I didn't spend much effort in treating you."
The Abyss Water Crocodile King's gaze stayed on the little medical fairy for a moment, complex and profound, and then it glanced at Xiao Ling and the other three people. It looked back at the depths of the valley behind the lake again, with an indescribable nostalgia flashing in its eyes.
It turned back, looked at the little medical fairy again, and said in a low voice: "Human, as proof that you defeated me, I will give you a gift."
The words of the Abyss Water Crocodile King made the four of them curious. Their eyes were full of expectation, wanting to know what kind of reward this man would give out.
Under the curious eyes of Xiao Ling and the others, the Abyss Water Crocodile King slowly took a few steps back, then raised his head and let out a long and earth-shaking roar. Along with the roar, its whole body began to emit a strong and dazzling blue light, like a blue sun rising in the valley.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King began to guide the power in his body towards the Deep Wave Source Crystal in his body. During the flow of energy, layers of blue ripples appeared on the surface of its body, like water ripples and sparkling waves. The entire valley was shrouded in this mysterious blue light.
Seeing the strange behavior of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, the four of them could not help but have doubts in their hearts. The Little Medical Fairy was the first to break the silence. She frowned slightly and asked, "What is the Abyss Water Crocodile King doing?"
Just when the four of them were confused, Yao Lao's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of exclamation: "Tsk, tsk, what a rare scene."
Xiao Ling heard Yao Lao's clueless answer and hurriedly asked: "Yao Lao, what exactly is going on? Please explain it to us."
Yao Chen chuckled lightly, and then answered the doubts in the minds of the four people: "After the death of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, although the energy in the body will be automatically injected into the Deep Wave Source Crystal, if it does not suffer a fatal blow, they will also You can choose to actively destroy the Deep Wave Source Crystal in your body, letting those hunters return empty-handed."
"However, there is another special situation," Yao Chen continued, "that is, when the Abyss Water Crocodile King is in good health, he voluntarily injects his own cultivation into the Deep Wave Source Crystal. Doing so will cause its cultivation to decline. , the body becomes weak, and the cultivation level is basically unable to be improved. Even if it dies, it can't re-enter the source crystal. I have only seen this situation in books, after all, there is no abyss water crocodile. In his prime, is the emperor willing to sacrifice his own strength to cultivate the next generation? "
After listening to Yaochen's explanation, Qinglin thought for a moment, and then asked: "Master, so to speak, this Abyss Water Crocodile King voluntarily injected his own cultivation into the Deep Wave Source Crystal, and then gave it to the little doctor as a gift Sister Xian, as a reward for her victory?”
Yao Chen's voice sounded again, this time with some certainty: "Looking at the situation, it should be right."
The little medical fairy was still a little confused about this. She asked puzzledly: "But why does it do this? Spend its own cultivation to fulfill me?"
Xiao Ling smiled relaxedly on the side and said: "This is a simple question. You can just ask it directly after you finish it. Anyway, for you, this is a good thing and there is no harm in it."
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, the little medical fairy nodded, did not continue to ask, and continued to cast his gaze in the direction of the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
As the energy gathered, the aura of the Abyss Water Crocodile King gradually weakened. Its body was no longer as powerful as before, but became a little sluggish, its muscles were no longer tight, and its body shape seemed to have shrunk a bit. On its skin, blue light flows, as if water is flowing rapidly under the skin, and finally converges into the Deep Wave Source Crystal in its body.
This process continued for a while, and the blue light on the Abyss Water Crocodile King became brighter and brighter, while its aura became weaker and weaker. Finally, when all the energy gathered into the Deep Wave Source Crystal, the body of the Abyss Water Crocodile Emperor returned to calmness, and its eyes reopened, but their eyes no longer had the sharpness they had before, but instead held a deep feeling. The tranquility and serenity.
Xiao Ling and his friends watched this scene quietly. They could feel that the power of the Abyss Water Crocodile King was changing. Its body and breath were very different from before.
Only half an hour had passed, and the aura of the Abyss Water Crocodile King had undergone earth-shaking changes. Originally a sixth-level peak monster, the aura it now exudes is only equivalent to the human fighting spirit level, which is around the fourth level. Although the body is still as big as before, it is no longer as strong as before.
Then, the body of the Abyss Water Crocodile King trembled slightly, and it opened its huge mouth. A blue energy came out of its body, gushes out like water, and gathered in its mouth.
Within this intense blue light, a blue ball of light slowly floated out, with mysterious light flowing on its surface, as bright as a star.
The dark blue crystal is like the most precious pearl in the deep sea, exuding a mysterious and deep luster. On its surface, water-wave-like lines shone in the faint light, as if it contained endless power of life. As soon as this crystal appeared, it firmly attracted the attention of Xiao Ling and the others.
Qing Lin stared at this beautiful crystal and couldn't help blurting out: "It's so beautiful!"
A trace of reluctance flashed in the eyes of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, but it was quickly replaced by a look of relief.
The source crystal slowly rose from the mouth of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, like a star separated from its mother body. Its existence made the surrounding air fresh and pure.
The orb slowly rotated in the air, emitting a faint light, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating the slightly dim space around it.
As the source crystal slowly floated, it finally went towards Xiao Yixian. Xiao Yixian stretched out her hand, palm up, to accept the gift from the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
The Deep Turbulence Source Crystal fell lightly into her hands, and she could feel the powerful energy contained in it, which was the essence of the Abyss Water Crocodile King's many years of cultivation.
Xiao Yixian, with a heart full of doubts, cast her inquiring eyes on the Abyss Water Crocodile King. She was puzzled by the Abyss Water Crocodile King's voluntary handing over of the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King noticed the confusion in Xiao Yixian's eyes, and seemed to think that she might not know enough about the use and value of the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal. So, it began to explain to Xiao Yixian, detailing the origin and function of the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal.
Although Xiao Ling and the others had heard about the relevant information about the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal from Yao Chen, they still patiently listened to the Abyss Water Crocodile King's retelling.
After the Abyss Water Crocodile King finished his story, Xiao Yixian stared at it and asked the question in his heart bluntly: "Why do you want to give me such a precious thing? Isn't it a big loss for you to do this?"
Faced with Xiao Yixian's question, the Abyss Water Crocodile King was silent for a moment, and then its voice echoed in the valley: "Since you have come here, my mission to guard this place is also completed. After you leave, I will continue to stay here until my life comes to an end, so no matter how high my cultivation is, it will be useless. Giving this gift to you can also be regarded as helping the master's descendants."
The words of the Abyss Water Crocodile King revealed an attitude of calmness and acceptance of fate. It seemed that it had found its home and was ready to spend the rest of its life in this peaceful valley.
After listening to his narration, Xiao Ling and the other four couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It was hard to imagine how deep the relationship between Turtle Spirit Venerable and the Abyss Water Crocodile King was to allow him to do this.
Xiao Yixian didn't act pretentiously and directly put the Deep Lan Source Crystal into the ring. She turned to the Abyss Water Crocodile King and said, "Thank you, I will cherish this power."
Seeing that Xiao Yixian had put away the Deep Wave Source Crystal, the Abyss Water Crocodile King nodded with satisfaction, then made way, stretched out a claw, pointed to the cliff behind the lake that was blocked by the cliff, and said, "Go there with the map, there is a space barrier. After you show the map, the barrier will automatically open, and you can get the inheritance left by my master."
When the Abyss Water Crocodile King's words fell, everyone suddenly realized that next, they would embark on the real purpose of this journey, to explore the inheritance of the Turtle Spirit Venerable for a long time. Thinking of this, everyone's eyes flashed with anticipation.
Xiao Ling's heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement. Whether he could obtain the legendary Turtle Spirit Earth Fire depended entirely on the upcoming fortune.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then turned to his companions behind him and said, "Let's go, hurry up."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Ling stepped lightly, and his figure rose into the air like a phantom. Then he took a few steps lightly in the air, as if walking on an invisible staircase, and finally landed steadily on the other side of the lake.
Seeing this, Xiao Yixian, Qinglin, and Ziyan exchanged glances with each other and nodded tacitly. They then spread their respective fighting wings, flapped slightly, and flew quickly in the direction of Xiao Ling.
As the figures of the four disappeared on the other side of the lake, the Abyss Water Crocodile King did not stay on the shore. It jumped and landed lightly in the lake, stirring up a ripple that slowly spread on the water surface, and then quickly dived into the deep bottom of the lake without attracting the attention of others.
When Qinglin landed lightly on the shore, the two rings on her fingers suddenly flashed two white lights. Then, two illusory figures appeared beside her. They were Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen.
As soon as they appeared, they began to carefully look at the cliff blocked by the cliff, with deep and complex light flashing in their eyes, as if they were looking for some hidden secrets.
Xiao Ling and Zi Yan also stared at the cliff. Obviously, they also noticed some unusual signs. Xiao Ling's insight into the power of space far exceeded that of ordinary people by refining the meteorite weapon and Zi Yan's guidance on the power of space from time to time. And Zi Yan, as the main body of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, has an innate keenness in the perception of space.
The space in front of them seemed ordinary, but it exuded an indescribable strange feeling. This feeling was surprisingly similar to the space they experienced when they entered the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy.
Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian did not have such insight. Although their strength had reached the realm of Dou Wang and Dou Huang respectively, their control of the power of space was far inferior to that of Xiao Ling and Zi Yan. This mysterious method set by a Dou Zun strongman is still too profound for them.
Yao Chen gently stroked his transparent beard and praised: "This space barrier is set up quite exquisitely. If I hadn't been close to this space barrier, it would not be easy to find it with my current strength."
Yao Tianhuo on the side also nodded in agreement, and he added: "This method is indeed extraordinary. The strength of this Gui Ling Zun in his lifetime should be comparable to mine."
