Chapter 138 Blood Flower
This enormous, ferocious-looking monster, no matter how fiercely it was attacked, still charged towards them recklessly as if it had gone mad.
Its menacing appearance made it seem as if it wanted to tear everything in front of it to shreds.
Ye Chuxue frowned deeply, secretly wondering: Does this monster really not feel pain? Why is it completely unresponsive to these attacks!
Just then, Ye Chuxue lightly raised her jade hand, and in an instant, countless crystal-clear ice chains suddenly shot out from the ground, like agile giant pythons, quickly wrapping around the monster's thick and powerful limbs, firmly fixing it in place.
Seeing this, the Ice Abyss Rift Tiger leaped up without hesitation, opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and bit down hard on the monster's neck with lightning speed.
With a chilling "crack" sound, the monster's enormous head was instantly snapped off, crashing heavily onto the cold, hard ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The monster's body, having lost the support of its head, collapsed with a thud. After twitching and struggling weakly on the ground for a few moments, it finally fell completely still.
Seeing this, Ye Chuxue and Song Wanning both breathed a long sigh of relief.
The fierce battle with the monster just now was extremely dangerous. If the stalemate continues, the two of them will be the first to run out of energy.
At this moment, a shining star quietly appeared on the badge they wore on their chests, which meant that the monster they had just defeated had reached the intermediate level.
"We can't go any further. Who knows how many unknown dangers are hidden ahead? If we encounter an even more powerful creature, we'll probably be in grave danger," Song Wanning said with a solemn expression.
Ye Chuxue nodded slightly, indicating her agreement. So, the two decided to change direction and cautiously began to slowly explore and search backwards.
However, the environment of this mysterious and deep abyss is constantly changing.
Suddenly, a chilling, biting wind howled past, making everyone feel cold all over.
Immediately afterwards, a thick layer of white mist quickly spread around, blurring one's vision and making it seem as if one were in a white, chaotic world.
Song Wanning became alert and gripped her weapon tightly.
Ye Chuxue also summoned an ice shield, protecting the two of them. A low roar could be faintly heard from within the mist, as if some enormous creature was approaching.
Just then, a giant centipede covered in sharp spikes burst out of the fog, its eyes gleaming with an eerie green light.
Song Wanning launched the first attack, sending several ice spikes toward the centipede, but a flash of fire was all it took for the spikes on the centipede's body to deflect the ice spikes.
Seeing this, Ye Chuxue manipulated the ice chains to try to entangle the centipede's legs, but the centipede easily broke free and even swung its tail at them.
The two exchanged a glance, knowing that a direct confrontation was not the solution. Ye Chuxue formed hand seals, creating a layer of ice beneath her feet, and pulled Song Wanning away quickly. The centipede pursued relentlessly, each leap causing the ground to tremble.
As Song Wanning retreated, she pondered a solution. She noticed a narrow entrance to a valley nearby.
"Go that way!" Song Wanning shouted. The two rushed into the valley, but the centipede's enormous body got stuck on the stone walls on both sides as it squeezed in.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Chuxue used her ice-breaking technique to trap the centipede inside.
But as the centipede struggled, its sharp spines pierced through the ice prison. Song Wanning gritted her teeth and released all the cold energy within her body, while Ye Chuxue cooperated fully, reinforcing the prison with ice.
The centipede finally stopped struggling and was completely frozen.
Although they have temporarily escaped danger, their current situation is still far from optimistic—they are trapped here and have no way out!
Song Wanning looked around worriedly. The canyon was extremely narrow, with towering cliffs on both sides. Even with wings, it would be impossible to escape by flying.
"It seems we can only keep going in and try our luck." Song Wanning sighed helplessly and turned to Ye Chuxue beside her.
So the two of them carefully made their way along the canyon, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
The map clutched in their hands could roughly indicate their location, but there were no markings or clues on it for the winding canyon in front of them.
The two remained silent throughout the journey, their hearts filled with anxiety and unease.
Just then, Ye Chuxue, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, her gaze drawn to a cluster of bright red flowers by the roadside.
These flowers bloom like flames, standing out brightly against the lush green grass. And in the center of the flowerbed lies a crystal-clear, jewel-like red bead.
Ye Chuxue, filled with curiosity, leaned closer to the bead and examined it carefully.
It was round and smooth, radiating an alluring luster, as if telling her some secret.
Unable to suppress her inner impulse, Ye Chuxue slowly reached out and picked up the bead, then, as if possessed, stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently licked it.
I originally thought this bead would be hard and tasteless like an ordinary stone, but to my surprise, it was surprisingly sweet.
However, the moment her tongue touched the bead, it melted into a liquid like melting ice and snow, sliding down her throat and into her stomach.
Ye Chuxue was startled at first, then felt a cool sensation rise from within her body and quickly spread throughout her entire being. But apart from that, it didn't seem to bring her any other special feelings.
Ok……
Ye Chuxue didn't feel uncomfortable at all, nor did she think much about it. Every time she saw the same flower, she would pick out the beads inside.
Finally, the two arrived at a wide-open area, and Ye Chuxue and Song Wanning released their wings and flew away.
"We're finally out of this place. Let's go back now."
Ye Chuxue glanced at the canyon. Although she didn't know what it was, the taste was still very good.
The two followed the trail of the canyon back to where they were. By the time they reached the entrance, the centipede had vanished, leaving only traces behind.
After returning to the supply station and handing over their mission, the two prepared to go out for a stroll again.
This time they chose an area near the supply station, only a few dozen kilometers away.
After leaving the supply station, the two arrived at a dungeon.
Even in the abyss, there are dungeons, but the dungeons in the abyss are different from those in the original world.
The original world's dungeons have different dungeon levels, while the Abyss dungeon has only one level and only one challenge level.
