Chapter 606 - 602: Unbelievable
The attack was too sudden, Liu Mengyan was completely unprepared.
She didn’t even have time to react.
Because her attention was entirely on Su Muyao, she was afraid that Su Muyao would suddenly reveal some hidden trump card.
Naturally, she wouldn’t pay attention to an egg.
In her view, killing Su Muyao would naturally also easily resolve that egg.
So in that instant, Liu Mengyan couldn’t even react, her expression froze instantly, her eyes widened in disbelief.
The incoming force was too strong, her proud power, although obtained through devouring with Secret Technique, was utterly defenseless against it.
Her attack on Su Muyao was instantly shattered.
And she herself was struck by this force.
The pain forced a sharp scream from her.
"Ah..."
"What is this?"
Liu Mengyan screamed in agony, her face twisted in pain, but she couldn’t move. Immediately, her body began to crumble inch by inch in the green light, eradicating her on the spot.
"Dead?"
Su Muyao was stunned by the scene, utterly incredulous.
She suddenly turned her head to look at her Snake Child.
The child had saved her.
Su Muyao hurried forward, gently touching the egg, "Zai Zai, you saved mother."
"Thank you."
She wanted to hold him but was cautiously afraid of causing discomfort.
Su Muyao had no experience with eggs.
She didn’t even know how to hatch them.
In the Beast World, egg children were said to be incubated by father beasts.
As she spoke, Su Muyao anxiously watched the egg, fearing anything might happen.
But she noticed the green light on the egg gradually receding, no longer agitated, returning suddenly to tranquility.
The faint glow that had been on the eggshell completely disappeared, and even the previous aura was now extremely faint.
He lay quietly, unmoved, as if the earth-shattering blow just now had never occurred.
Realizing something, Su Muyao’s heart contracted sharply, her eyes filled with unbelievable panic, her voice even trembled.
"Zai Zai, are you okay?"
"How are you, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Su Muyao’s voice shook with fright.
She never expected Zai Zai would save her like this.
Su Muyao was truly flustered, afraid something might happen to him. She placed her hand on the egg; he seemed to hear her voice, moving slightly but weakly, which at least proved he was alive.
Su Muyao nearly cried, filled with self-blame.
"As long as you’re okay, as long as you’re okay."
Su Muyao breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing how to restore his vitality.
She kept calling for the system in her mind, "System, system..."
Since the moment she gave birth to the Snake Child, her body became weak, and the system seemed to lose consciousness instantly.
At this moment, no matter how Su Muyao summoned it, the system remained silent.
She could only anxiously pace in the room.
Su Muyao turned to look at the room; not a trace of Liu Mengyan was left.
Su Muyao thought of Xia Min, locked inside her Space Ring, Liu Mengyan’s duplicate.
She released Xia Min, who awoke from slumber, sensing something, light flickering in her eyes as she bowed her head.
As Liu Mengyan’s duplicate, she seemed to feel the room’s aura.
With a little thought, she understood; this might be her opportunity.
Either Liu Mengyan died here, or shortly after her death, she could devour Liu Mengyan’s residual aura and possibly integrate it.
If she missed this timing, even the Secret Technique wouldn’t work.
Naturally sensing Su Muyao’s weak aura, the room empty of others.
Xia Min’s expression turned cold.
Su Muyao closely monitored Xia Min’s expression and actions.
She certainly didn’t believe Xia Min was any good.
Having separated from Liu Mengyan, she couldn’t be a good person; her original intent was to use Xia Min against Liu Mengyan.
Or to find Liu Mengyan’s whereabouts through Xia Min.
Now that Liu Mengyan was dead, she wouldn’t keep Xia Min as a potential threat.
"Xia Min, are you sure Liu Mengyan only has three lives?"
Xia Min nodded, "Yes, I’m sure. When she was expelled from the Nine Nether Forbidden Land barrier, she sacrificed two lives, that barrier is extraordinarily strong, not an ordinary barrier, so she did sacrifice two lives, after she split us, only three lives were left."
"Moreover, I can feel it, Liu Mengyan is dead, she just died."
If that’s the case, Liu Mengyan had only three lives, sacrificed two, only one left, and just got killed.
So she should be dead.
Su Muyao looked at Xia Min, seeing the calculating gleam in her eyes.
With a flick of her finger, she killed Xia Min on the spot.
"Ah!"
Xia Min couldn’t even react.
Before dying, she managed only to scream, filled with unwillingness and hatred.
Su Muyao, she actually wanted to kill her.
She thought she had deceived her.
No matter what, Xia Min was thoroughly dead.
Su Muyao wouldn’t leave any threat behind.
Knowing Wen Nanxi as the Ancient Celestial Snake situation, resembling the Seven-star Spider Beastman, she wouldn’t even spare the duplicate.
Su Muyao guarded the egg, continuously taking elixirs from her space and swallowing them.
She knew she would become weak, thus prepared some energy-replenishing elixirs beforehand.
Yet, no matter how many elixirs she consumed, her body remained weak, not knowing why.
Worried about new dangers, she couldn’t sit and wait for death.
She needed a plan. Ah, she still had some Spirit Stones in her space, found in a mountain cave outside the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe, unlike normal Spirit Stones.
Those Blood Crystal Stones and Soul Crystal Stones played significant roles in reviving Yue Wuhen.
Thinking of this, Su Muyao began to absorb the energy of these blue Spirit Stones.
Though slower, her superpower did recover slightly.
Su Muyao’s eyes lit up, "It does work."
"I didn’t expect elixirs to be ineffective, but Spirit Stones to work."
"The Spirit Stone’s power is extremely pure."
As Su Muyao absorbed the Spirit Stone’s power, her strength slowly increased, allowing her to hear the mixed noises outside.
Amidst the thunder and rain, there seemed to be the sounds of fighting, and cries of wild beasts.
It seemed countless beasts roared, the ground seemed to shake.
What was happening?
Could it be a Mutated Beast Tide? Not likely, the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan had a barrier, mutant beasts couldn’t enter.
Ah right, Liu Mengyan said they controlled two elders, who took elixirs to forcibly boost their power, Xiao Jihan handling them both wasn’t easy.
So...
Did Xiao Jihan use the Beast Taming Technique?
...
Meanwhile, the Fox King Hall, long broke its former peace and solemnity.
War had recently erupted here.
When Xiao Jihan arrived, he saw Da Bao injured, lying on the ground, barely alive, surrounded by several fallen elders, only two elders remained standing.
