90: Chapter 90 Hello, beautiful lady?
"We came here, actually because..."
One second, two seconds...
"Because of what?"
Xing Yaoyan leaned in a little closer.
But soon, she discovered with horror — the ghost fire eyes behind Xiao Dao's mask... had extinguished.
"Hey?! Xiao Dao, what happened to you?!"
In fact, Xing Yaoyan had only taken out the jade tablet earlier to scare it.
After all, moving forward alone was quite dull, and having a few companions in one's Spirit Sea to talk heart-to-heart with was very precious.
Xing Yaoyan shook its body vigorously, her face full of anxiety.
Under her guidance, the Power Of Will in her Spirit Sea quickly surged into Xiao Dao's Star Soul.
Little Chaos, who was still sulking on the side because of Xiao Dao's shove, also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly swam over, helping Xing Yaoyan wake up the suddenly unconscious Zhan Yuan Beast.
Fortunately, thanks to their efforts, after a short while, the blue ghost fire reignited within the pitch-black hollows of Xiao Dao's mask.
"Xiao Dao, are you okay?"
Xing Yaoyan's words drifted intermittently into its not-yet-fully-recovered mind.
Just a moment ago, right when it was about to reveal the secret of why it had come here, a golden figure suddenly appeared before its eyes, and an endless pressure from the Bloodline instantly swept through its entire body.
Its Star Soul teetered on the brink under the impact of this immense pressure. In a daze, it saw the golden figure extend a finger and gently press it against its lips.
"Shh..."
Subsequently, it opened its eyes and saw Xing Yaoyan and Little Chaos.
"Navigator... I am fine. However, I seem to have suddenly forgotten many things just now; I'm afraid I cannot answer your question anymore..."
"It's okay... It's good that you're alright..."
Xing Yaoyan suddenly pulled Xiao Dao into her embrace.
Perhaps because of having been abandoned before, she now cherished these companions of hers exceptionally much.
Although they had pointed blades at each other when they first met, it had only been about half an hour in total until now.
However, Xing Yaoyan could feel that she already regarded it as an important companion...
"Navigator..."
The ghost fire in Xiao Dao's eyes flickered rapidly.
This Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf seemed different from what Dad and Mom in the tribe had said...
A while later.
Xing Yaoyan returned her consciousness to reality.
She could feel that Xiao Dao's attitude toward her had changed inexplicably; it was a mysterious and profound feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on...
Scanning the clearing again, Xing Yaoyan still didn't sense any aura of spirit crystals or star crystals.
"Sigh..."
She turned and walked backward.
But after only a few steps, her footsteps faltered.
The next second, she was seen rushing directly to the center of the flat ground, channeling her Power Of Will and smashing down fiercely.
"I don't believe it! Can these spirit crystals and star crystals just burrow into the ground and run away on their own?!"
But to her surprise, the ground not only showed no cracks under her strike, but instead, a blue Teleportation Spirit Array with complex patterns lit up at her location.
"Eh?"
Xing Yaoyan stared blankly at the changes around her, feeling as if she had accidentally triggered something extraordinary.
The next second, a sudden flash of blue light exploded before her eyes...
It was unknown how much time had passed.
Feeling the blue light gradually dissipate, Xing Yaoyan tentatively opened her eyes.
The golden light surrounding her illuminated the scene inside the cave.
It seemed nothing had changed here; that blue light appeared to have just flashed before her eyes, and then nothing happened...
The blue patterns on the ground gradually dimmed, emitting wisps of white smoke.
Xing Yaoyan took a few tentative steps, and seeing that the Teleportation Spirit Array had no other reactions, she quickly hurried away from the area of the blue circle.
"Whew... I thought it was something else? That scared me..."
Xing Yaoyan wiped the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead, soothing her recently startled little heart.
"Eh? The path I just came in from should be right here, right..."
She looked at the pile of boulders in front of her that should have been the path, lost in thought.
"Haha... Maybe I remembered it wrong; Xiao Dao, don't you think so..."
The White Wolf Girl gave an awkward smile and turned to walk toward the other side.
"Navigator, the direction just now was correct..."
Xiao Dao's flat voice pierced through her last bit of wishful thinking like a sword.
"No... How is this possible... How is this possible?!"
Xing Yaoyan suddenly remembered discovering that this mine cave had suddenly dimmed for a moment before; that must have been when the spirit crystals and star crystals on this Teleportation Spirit Array were teleported away...
She fell to her knees, wanting to cry but having no tears, and repeatedly pounded the ground with her right fist.
"Which idiot set up a Teleportation Spirit Array in such a ghost of a place! Don't they know it would affect an unsuspecting innocent girl?!"
Xiao Dao silently watched the White Wolf Girl in the Spirit Sea, speechless for a moment.
It thought to itself, what kind of normal "innocent girl" would find this place...
"No! I must get out quickly!"
The White Wolf Girl quickly got up and used "Partial Beast Transformation" and "Claw Attack" to desperately dig into a stone wall.
Although she didn't feel any malicious red light around her now, she still needed to maintain necessary caution, after all, she didn't even know where she was now.
Just now, she had used the tapping method to listen to the sounds produced by the stone walls in different directions, and then found the direction with the dullest sound; her knowledge of physics from her past life told her that the stone wall at this location was the thinnest.
"Thud! Clang! Clang..."
The dull sound of excavation soon echoed in the empty cave.
Sure enough, not long after, reassuring sunlight shone through the gaps between the stones.
Seeing this, Xing Yaoyan deliberately slowed down her excavation speed, minimizing the noise she produced as much as possible.
"Crack, crack, bang!"
For the last stretch, she no longer used her claws to dig, but instead reached out to pry open the final stones, raking the debris behind her.
Finally, she dug a hole large enough for herself to crawl out.
"Damn! Am I a wolf or a dog? Why does it feel like I'm crawling through a dog hole..."
Xing Yaoyan gave a self-deprecating bitter smile, and after confirming there was absolutely no malicious red light around, she hurriedly crawled a distance outward.
And before completely exiting, she followed her usual routine of poking her head out first to observe the surrounding situation.
This look was astonishing; the outside world before her was completely different from the doomsday scene of fading vitality in the Land of Destruction. On the contrary, this place had beautiful mountains and clear waters, and one could feel the rich spiritual energy in the air; taking a deep breath made one feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Is this heaven..."
Xing Yaoyan stared blankly at the scenery before her that was like a Peach Blossom Spring, and could not help but sigh inwardly.
Suddenly, she felt something and looked up.
She saw a beautiful young girl wearing a white martial outfit sitting on a rock, resting her face in her hands, staring curiously at her... and her wolf ears.
"Hello, beautiful?"
