As soon as he came out, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his head was buzzing, and he was breathing heavily and rapidly.
Chapter 84 Approaching Death, the Ferocious Beast at the Bottom of the Lake
Since the day the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors appeared...
Dongfang Jing's body underwent a miraculous change.
This allowed him to absorb a thousand-year soul ring directly without taking whale glue, and even his third soul ring reached an astonishing ten-thousand-year level.
The mirror's body may be shattered, but its spirit remains, and its form will not be destroyed.
This means that as long as Dongfang Jing's mental energy is not completely exhausted and his will does not collapse, no matter how serious the injury, as long as he can stay awake, grit his teeth and get through it, and let his body slowly recover, he will almost have an immortal body!
But at this moment, Dongfang Jing really couldn't hold on any longer.
His spiritual sea nearly dried up from the continuous use of mirror travel and mirror body splitting.
He took the fatal blow from the Title Douluo head-on, his bones shattered, and his internal organs were shaken to the point of being mangled and bloody.
He struggled to crawl out of the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors, having used up his last bit of strength.
He lay on his back by the pool, his body beneath the uneven, sharp sand and gravel, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.
The torrential rain pounded on him, and thick blood gushed from his mouth, his deep purple eyes gradually losing their luster.
Scenes from the past flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.
He transmigrated to this world and was adopted by kind foster parents, living a simple yet heartwarming life.
The day my younger sister was born, the baby cried incessantly, giving my parents a real headache. But as soon as she saw me, she immediately stopped crying and started smiling.
As the little guy grew up, he became a clingy little shadow, always rushing into his arms for hugs and pestering him to tell him stories.
Those soft, sweet calls of "brother" are Dongfang Jing's most precious memories.
"elder brother!"
"Yao'er."
In a daze, Dongfang Jing seemed to see his younger sister.
But it wasn't the little girl from my memory; instead, it was a beautiful young woman dressed in a white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with long, flowing black hair, standing gracefully.
Holding a long sword, she climbed a steep mountain peak, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist.
She looked down at the crowd below the mountain, her extraordinary aura resembling that of a peerless sword immortal.
Suddenly, the girl turned around and gave a gentle smile.
Dongfang Jing's lips curled up slightly, and he wanted to raise his hand to touch her head again, but he didn't have the strength at all.
'Yao'er, you must live on.'
His vision grew increasingly blurry until it finally plunged into darkness.
Before he completely lost consciousness, he seemed to glimpse a bright green shadow beside him, walking towards him.
'It's probably a soul beast. That's fine too. If it eats me, my soul tool won't fall into someone else's hands. Yao'er can also absorb that soul bone without worry.'
With his last thought, the boy slowly closed his eyes.
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest is filled with ancient trees and fresh air, but powerful soul beasts with ten thousand years of cultivation may appear anywhere here.
In the center of the core area, there is a small lake.
The lake water was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the green trees on the shore, making it seem like a beautiful sight in this vast and dangerous forest.
The lake is not large, only about 100 meters in diameter, but it is very deep.
The space at the bottom of the lake is much larger than it appears.
A large silkworm, its body as smooth and translucent as jade, with ten golden stripes, a round head, and a plump appearance, was continuously releasing pure primordial energy.
The energy it released was absorbed by the four enormous creatures surrounding it.
For most Soul Masters, a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast is just a legend.
Those with some knowledge know that deep in the forest lives a Titan ape, the king of the forest for 100,000 years.
Some powerful Title Douluo knew that the lake was also inhabited by the Azure Bull Python, which was even more powerful than the Titan Giant Ape.
But almost no one knows that deep at the bottom of this lake, there are several beings with cultivation levels of over 200,000 years, who can truly be called "ferocious beasts"!
The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound King, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear King, the Demon Eye Demon Tree King, and the leader of all ferocious beasts—the Black Dragon King Di Tian!
At this moment, they are all lying prone and sleeping, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth released by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which is of great benefit to their cultivation.
At that moment, a streak of emerald green light gracefully landed on the bottom of the lake.
This was an absolutely stunning woman with long, flowing emerald green hair and equally emerald green eyes. She was tall and slender, and a long, light green dress accentuated her perfect figure. Her bare arms were exposed, and most striking of all were the wings on her back that looked like they were carved from emeralds.
Although she is in human form, she is also one of the ferocious beasts.
Princess Brigitte, the chieftain of the Emerald Swan Clan.
Biji walked to the vicinity of the sleeping beasts, glanced at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the center being used as "nourishment," and showed reluctance in her eyes.
She couldn't stop the other ferocious beasts from absorbing it, but being kind-hearted by nature, she would never improve her own cultivation in such a way.
So she stood guard by her side, protecting the sleeping beasts.
The other three beasts were fast asleep, but Di Tian remained somewhat conscious and was able to have a brief conversation with Bi Ji.
"Biji, why do you look so preoccupied? I said I wouldn't harm it. We'll probably wake up in ten thousand years, and then we'll let it go. Don't worry." After all, Di Tian was also asleep, so his voice sounded a little weak.
Brigitte shook her head: "A child from my tribe has gone missing. The guardian said it ran away on its own, and I'm worried."
She thought for a moment and said to Di Tian, "That child isn't fast and won't go far. I can sense its presence. Before it runs out to the outskirts and encounters humans, Di Tian, I have to go and bring it back myself."
Di Tian didn't think much of it; it needed to continue sleeping: "Go. You don't need to worry about this place; Daming and Erming are still up there."
“Mm.” Brigitte nodded, spread her emerald wings, and flew toward the lake.
By the lake, the Titan Giant Ape Erming was drinking water, while the Azure Bull Python Daming was cultivating.
They sensed something at the same time and quickly lowered their huge heads, appearing somewhat awe-inspiring.
After flying out of the lake, Biji glanced at them and whispered, "Daming, Erming, you must be vigilant about your surroundings and not let any soul beasts or humans get close to the lake."
“Yes, Aunt Brigitte,” the two beasts replied respectfully.
Watching Brigitte transform into a green light and disappear into the distance of the forest, Erming scratched his head sheepishly: "Big brother, where is Aunt Brigitte going?"
Da Ming craned his neck and said in a serious tone, "Don't ask any more questions. Just do as she says and guard it well."
After the rainstorm, the forest was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.
Sunlight filters through the layers of leaves, creating shimmering ripples on the surface of the pond.
A drop of dew slid off a leaf and landed right on the boy's tightly closed eyelid.
Dongfang Jing slowly opened his eyes, the blinding sunlight making him momentarily disoriented.
Where is this?
He blinked, a hint of confusion in his purple eyes.
As his vision gradually cleared, he found himself still lying by the pool.
I tried to move my body and was pleasantly surprised to find that although it was still difficult to make movements, the shattered bones and damaged internal organs had basically healed!
"I'm not dead?"
Chapter 85 Emerald Swan
Dongfang Jing clearly remembered that he was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Before losing consciousness, he saw a soul beast approaching.
Logically speaking, it should have become food for a soul beast long ago.
I felt a warm energy flowing through my body, repairing the last of my injuries.
He turned his head with difficulty, then his eyes widened in surprise!
A swan, entirely emerald green with feathers as lustrous as jade, stood beside him, its outstretched wings radiating a dazzling green light that enveloped his entire body.
Under the green light, Dongfang Jing felt his strength and injuries rapidly recovering.
"This is a Swan Soul Beast? Why didn't it attack me? Instead, it's healing me!"
Dongfang Jing carefully observed the swan's appearance; it was a species he had never seen before in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia.
He judged that this should be an extremely rare healing-type soul beast.
Amidst confusion and curiosity, time passed little by little.
Under the healing power of the green light, Dongfang Jing was able to stand up and barely circulate his soul power.
Although the internal injuries require a long period of recuperation, at least his life has been saved.
"Such amazing healing abilities." The boy flexed his wrists, genuinely marveling, "Just who are you?"
The jade swan folded its wings, and the green light gradually dissipated.
It tilted its head and looked at the human in front of it, looking rather dazed, with pure eyes that showed no malice whatsoever.
Seeing that he was able to stand, she turned and walked away with graceful steps.
Dongfang Jing looked around and saw that the dense forest blocked out the sky and the towering cliffs blocked out the sun, making it difficult to even determine the direction.
If he were to try to climb back up the waterfall, given his current condition, he would likely collapse halfway down due to exhaustion.
However, once the soul power is activated, the internal injuries will flare up.
'I can't stay here any longer,' he thought to himself.
There are no spirit beasts in this pool, so it must be a drinking spot that spirit beasts often come to. If we encounter one, it will be dangerous!
But when you lose your way and don't know what to do, you feel helpless.
After hesitating for a moment, Dongfang Jing decided to follow the mysterious swan that meant no harm.
