220: Chapter 220 The Girl Wakes Up

Ding!

[Obtained: Broken Faith Crystal × 1]

[Hint: This object contains weak spiritual power, can be used to repair the soul or serve as an energy source.]

Li Taiping followed suit and extracted all the dozen or so sacrificial bones scattered on the River Beach.

A total of fifteen broken faith crystals were obtained.

Finally, he stood before the corpse of the Old God.

This corpse was too large; even though only a small part was exposed, it emitted a heart-palpitating pressure.

Li Taiping took a deep breath and placed his palm on a thick rib.

"Gather for me!"

The treasure basin mark erupted with unprecedented bright light.

The black mist across the entire River Beach rolled violently at this moment.

Crack—

The indestructible rib of the Old God emitted a crisp sound, and a crack appeared on its surface.

Immediately after, the massive skeleton began to tremble slightly.

Ding!

[Warning: Target energy level is too high. Current treasure basin level is extracting slowly. Please maintain contact.]

Li Taiping gritted his teeth and did not let go.

The young girl in his arms seemed to feel some kind of resonance; her brows furrowed slightly, and her breathing frequency accelerated a little.

As her breathing accelerated, the power within Li Taiping also surged, firmly supporting the extraction process of the treasure basin.

Thirty seconds later.

The Old God's corpse shattered with a boom, turning into sky-filling bone powder, drifting down onto the river surface.

Ding!

[Extraction successful!]

[Triggered treasure basin super critical hit!]

[Obtained: Old God's Remains (good grade material) × 10]

[Obtained: Divine Source Blood (rare grade item) × 1]

[Obtained: Incomplete Authority Fragment · Water × 1]

Li Taiping looked at the items popping up on the system panel, and his heartbeat skipped a beat.

Divine Source Blood? Authority Fragment?

This haul is huge!

These two items belong to the special authority of this world; materials related to gods cannot be simple.

Just as he was about to check the item attributes, the entire River Beach suddenly shook violently.

The originally calm grey-black river water began to surge crazily, and a huge vortex formed in the center of the river.

Deep within the vortex, there was a faint, hair-raising sound of chains colliding.

Clatter—

Black slime gushed out from the vortex, instantly corroding the surrounding trees into dregs.

The village chief's words flashed through his mind.

"Beneath the River Beach, a corpse of an Old God is buried."

"The remnants of the black tide surged last night."

"She... might really have woken up."

Li Taiping stared fixedly at that vortex.

The Old God's corpse had already been drained by him; was there still something underneath?

The young girl in his arms suddenly opened her eyes.

Those were a pair of pure black eyes, without whites, deep like an abyss.

She looked at the vortex in the center of the river, her lips parted slightly, and she uttered a cold, ethereal, yet slightly confused syllable.

"Hungry..."

Li Taiping looked down at her, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"You're hungry? Is that thing down there... something you ordered for takeout?"

The little girl now had white hair and a youthful face; it was simply an instantaneous mutation.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Taiping was very sure the feeling from her was exceptionally intimate and familiar, he absolutely would not have thought this was the little girl who was just "sleeping."

The main point is...

When did she put on a pair of ice crystal high heels?

The high heels made of ice crystals wrapped around her naturally perfect feet, which was simply too incongruous.

Li Taiping gulped.

This world is too absurd; do magical girl transformations exist here too?

Before he could think too much, a flash appeared before his eyes. The young girl in front of him, while shouting "hungry," rushed toward that vortex.

"Hey—wait!"
