Chapter 317 Final Preparations, Landing on the Island, and the Twin Blossoms of Life Acquired
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun sets and night is about to fall.
[Mirror] The cabin door was pushed open.
"Mmm, that feels so good."
Jing Feiwan looked satisfied, and the blush on her veiled cheeks was more beautiful than the sunset.
She spread her arms wide, stretching her body freely under the night sky; her perfect figure, illuminated by the sunset, resembled a ripe peach.
Behind her, Xiao Yun walked out slowly with unsteady steps.
His face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
Before him, that delicate figure was so perfect, yet he felt no stirrings in his heart.
After experiencing everything today, Xiao Yun felt that he would never feel any desire for this body again.
"I only fell for you this once, and you made me lose so completely—"
Xiao Yun looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, tears streaming down her face.
Just then, a soft laugh rang out, followed by a warm, moist sensation on my face.
The veil became slippery from the saliva, and the scalding breath evaporated the tears along the tear stains.
Finally, the full lips vanished in an instant, leaving only a trace of moisture still warm from the body.
"Ugh—it's salty."
Looking into Jing Feiwan's alluring eyes, Xiao Yun stiffened and gave a helpless bitter smile.
"I won't die at the hands of these guys, but someday in the future, I might die at your hands."
Upon hearing the word "death," Jing Feiwan's smile vanished instantly, and her delicate brows furrowed.
A pale fist pounded on his body, a warning in itself.
"If you say that again, next time I'll—I'll—"
She wanted to say something harsh to scare Xiao Yun, but when the words reached her lips, she found she couldn't bring herself to say them.
Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile.
I must say, it's quite charming to see a glamorous young woman acting like a little girl.
A look of panic flashed in Jing Feiwan's eyes. She glared at him and said, "The results today were pretty good. Once you've finished your plan, we'll go to the large market area to buy some materials and continue to treat you."
"Oh, after the treatment, is there a mood-soothing service?"
Xiao Yun smiled and licked his lips.
But he received no answer.
Upon hearing the question, Jing Feiwan fled in panic.
"Hmph, I can't control you."
Xiao Yun chuckled lightly. After teasing the young woman, the pain of being skinned alive had lessened considerably.
"Although the method was a bit rough, it was indeed the way to maximize the effectiveness of the medicine and allow me to recover the fastest."
His current condition is that not only is his physical body damaged, but his soul is also severely damaged.
Like a thermos that leaks air from the inside out, simply repairing the outer shell without addressing the leaking inner liner is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
Alchemical potions rich in life force can heal the body, but not the soul. Alchemical potions that can heal the very essence of the soul...
At least, Xiao Yun has never heard of any such things. Even if there were, they would be extremely precious and not something that could be found in a short time.
Therefore, at present, only this brutal method can allow the life force in the potion to act on the soul through the connection between the body and the soul.
If a true alchemy master like Jiang Shangzhen were here, he would definitely have a better method.
Although Jing Feiwan possessed considerable knowledge of alchemy, his physical strength had been crippled, rendering him only a second-rate alchemist. This level of achievement was already his limit.
"However, this can't continue indefinitely. It's exhausting for her and painful for me too. After we deal with these people, we need to find a way to repair the [Mirror], at least to make it easier for her to operate."
As for Jing Feiwan's strength, it is indeed impossible to recover it at present.
Having just recovered to the ninth sequence and been able to initially utilize his mental power, Xiao Yun roughly examined Jing Feiwan's condition.
Unlike him, whose power was sealed due to the energy of a high position.
Instead, it was a more bizarre method that Xiao Yun had never seen before.
"It should be a kind of blockade constructed by Gu Shen using [fraud]. At least we'll have to wait until I recover to the double sixth sequence."
In fact, under normal circumstances, given the high rank of [Eternal Blood], he could have tried to treat him right now.
But for some reason, even after being restored to the ninth sequence, the Eternal Blood remained dormant.
Within the crimson flame in his soul, a layer of gray-black gloom shrouded it.
"It's still because of the influence of the power of death. I didn't follow the system's instructions to gradually accept it, and now I have this side effect."
"My main combat talents are almost unusable, but thankfully, I can still use the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding."
If [The True Meaning of All Things] is also banned, then there's absolutely nothing to play.
Xiao Yun sighed softly, put his mind at ease, and focused his attention on the present moment.
As the sun gradually sinks below the horizon, the time for the twin flowers of life to ripen is approaching.
Through the reflection in the mirror, Xiao Yun confirmed once again the location of the island where the Twin Blossoms of Life were located.
"On the left, about ten kilometers away, the Wind Boat is moving at full speed and will arrive in a few minutes."
Xiao Yun casually picked up the last crystal of death power and threw it into the sea.
This time, just as the crystals submerged, a strange shadow flashed by and swept them away.
"Off-site assistance has also been provided."
Xiao Yun took a deep breath, walked to the door, and knocked.
Soon, Jing Feiwan pushed open the door and walked out. Inside the cabin, all the instruments that could be taken away had been packed away.
"This time, we really need you, my little man."
Jing Feiwan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she sighed, "If we fail, all the wealth my sister has worked so hard to accumulate will be gone."
Xiao Yun smiled, and with a thought, a wisp of cyan wind flowed through his hand.
"Don't worry, I will win."
As they spoke, the Wind Boat had already fully unfolded.
The two quickly entered the Wind Boat, and the next second, the Wind Boat stirred up huge waves and shot towards the small island where the Twin Flowers of Life were located like an arrow.
"That little island—that's where he first appeared!"
Behind them, on the Blood Shark Gang's metal ship, Eric's face changed drastically. He craned his neck and shouted at the steamship, "Damn it! I knew it! Old Red, Old Red! Stop dawdling and get to work!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already crushed a refining artifact, and his whole body inflated like a balloon as he charged towards the Wind Boat with all his might.
"Damn it, those two lunatics! They're even abandoning the alchemy workshop!"
Redmond cursed under his breath; he hadn't expected this situation either.
But he also knew that now was not the time to hesitate.
He took out a wedge-like object and muttered incantations.
The wedge vibrated slightly, then floated into the air, with faint arcs of electricity dancing on it.
"Thunderstorm, please descend upon this sea!"
Vast magical power surged on the sea surface, and runes lit up, converging into ferocious patterns like lightning strikes.
Rumble!
The sky instantly became overcast with dark clouds, and bolts of lightning as thick as bowls struck down, connecting with the alchemical array in the sea.
An indescribable sense of oppression enveloped everyone's hearts.
Redmond gripped the wedge tightly, enduring the excruciating pain of lightning tearing his flesh, and pointed towards the speeding windship.
"fall!"
Rumble!
As if summoned, lightning bolts rained down upon the Wind Ship.
On the control panel, a series of bright red warning messages popped up, and the entire Windship trembled.
Xiao Yun's pupils dilated in shock. Without any hesitation, all the undead that had accumulated over the past few days poured out, blocking the falling lightning as if committing suicide.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
One by one, the undead were shattered by the lightning, transforming into the power of death and dissipating into the air.
The thunderstorm continued to fall, but the sacrifice of the undead bought Xiao Yun precious time.
With all his mana drained, a wave of weakness washed over him. Xiao Yun bit his tongue hard and, without any hesitation, drank a bottle of all-around recovery potion, once again channeling all his mana into the Wind Boat.
hum!
The wind-driven boat emitted a soft hum, like a car that had finally found fuel and burst into a joyful roar.
call out!
The speed of the Wind Boat increased again, even creating a sonic boom on the sea surface.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the island was right in front of us.
At this very moment, in the heart of the island, twin flowers of life ripen.
On an unremarkable stone, fine cracks appeared, from which a rich life force surged forth.
The vegetation grew wildly, the sparse forests on the island instantly became lush, and flying insects and lizards also grew rapidly.
Four pairs of eyes simultaneously revealed a sharp glint.
The sea surface churned, and a terrifying aura rose rapidly, the viscous splashing sound drowning out the thunder.
"They're here!"
Xiao Yun's eyes flashed, and without any hesitation, he steered the Wind Boat toward the location of the Twin Blossoms of Life.
"Eric, hurry up! Everything else is yours, I only want this treasure!"
Redmond roared, and even though his arm was scorched by lightning, he still used all his strength to drive the lightning to attack Xiao Yun.
Eric didn't respond, but instead crushed several cards in an instant, his speed increasing again.
He stared intently at the direction from which the life force was surging, the longing in his eyes almost tangible.
Eric unleashed his full power and quickly caught up with the Windship, which was blocked by the lightning.
But instead of attacking the Wind Boat, he headed straight for the Twin Blossoms of Life.
If we can obtain such a treasure, why offend Xiao Yun?
Just as he was about to overtake the Wind Boat, a cold snort rang out from inside the Wind Boat.
"You dare to take what my little man wants?"
Before Eric could react, a series of alchemical artifacts appeared before him, their runes flashing as they formed an impenetrable net.
"Damn it!"
Eric cursed under his breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, and attacked the Windship with all his might.
He only needs to hold Xiao Yun back for a short while to get rid of the obstacle.
His all-out attack landed on the Wind Boat, and suddenly fine cracks appeared on the Wind Boat before him.
Click—click—
With a crisp sound, the Wind Boat, along with the surrounding space, shattered with a deafening roar.
"Mirror image!"
Eric realized what was happening and abruptly turned to look at the other side.
The true Windship appeared, casting aside the impotent rage of Eric and the thunderous storm, rushing towards the twin blossoms of life.
Inside the Wind Boat, Jing Feiwan put down the workshop core covered in cracks and looked at Xiao Yun.
"come on."
"Um.
""
Xiao Yun smiled faintly, stood up, and stepped out of the Wind Boat.
He bent down, picked up the stone, and took out a black and gold twin flower from it.
The Ring of Death trembled, and the last few undead self-destructed, unleashing a torrent of death energy that intertwined with the life force dissipating from the surrounding area.
On the horizon, the last ray of light was swallowed up by the sea of darkness.
Time seemed to stand still. Xiao Yun raised his hand and swallowed the Twin Flower of Life without hesitation.
