408: Endless Black Flame (IV)
Soon, Su Han and the other two found a relatively safe corner and sat down to rest.
Their bodies were covered in wounds, and their spiritual Qi was mostly depleted.
Su Han looked at Bi Yao, his heart full of concern, and said,
“Bi Yao, your jade pendant has consumed so much power, how are you feeling?”
Bi Yao smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, “I feel a bit weak, but it’s not life-threatening.
The power of this jade pendant is indeed strong, but each use feels like it’s overdrawing my life; I feel a bit uneasy.”
The Gravekeeper also said from the side, “Her worries are not unfounded.
The power of this jade pendant seems to have a Restriction, and forced use will cause irreversible damage to the wielder.
But our current situation is also difficult; many times we have to rely on it.”
Su Han frowned in thought; he knew their current situation was very dangerous, but they didn’t have many choices.
He said, “No matter what, let’s first heal our injuries and recover some spiritual Qi.
As for the jade pendant, we’ll discuss it further after we get through this crisis.”
While resting, the scenes of the previous battle kept replaying in Su Han’s mind.
He always felt that the black figure seemed to have an unusual identity; he recalled the scales on the black figure and the black flames, and a faint guess formed in his heart.
He told his guess to Bi Yao and the Gravekeeper, saying,
“That black figure gave me the feeling of some kind of cursed existence; its power, although strong, is very strange.
I wonder if it has any connection with the Erosion Abyss?
After all, things have been too coincidental so far; I always feel that everything is somewhat connected.”
Bi Yao nodded and said, “That’s possible.
Look how sudden its appearance was, and like the Erosion Abyss, it’s full of evil and dangerous Qi.
Perhaps it’s a follower of the Erosion Abyss or its minion.”
The Gravekeeper pondered for a moment and said, “If that’s the case, then the power of the Erosion Abyss might far exceed our imagination.
We not only have to face the threat of the Erosion Abyss itself but also be wary of the forces hidden behind it.”
Just as they were discussing, Su Han suddenly felt some faint fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual Qi.
He vigilantly opened his eyes and found that something seemed to be swimming in the mist not far away.
He gently patted Bi Yao and the Gravekeeper, signaling them to be alert.
The three gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the moving object in the mist.
As the mist drifted, the object gradually approached.
When it got close enough, Su Han and the others finally saw clearly that it was a small spirit body.
This spirit body looked like a small jellyfish, emitting a faint blue light all over its body.
It swam around Su Han and the others a few times, and then, as if it sensed them, it floated towards them.
Su Han cautiously extended his hand, and the spirit body did not evade, but directly landed on his hand.
Su Han felt a gentle force coming from the spirit body, giving his tired body a moment of relief.
Bi Yao and the Gravekeeper also curiously gathered around, looking at this mysterious spirit body.
Suddenly, the spirit body flickered a few times in front of them, then emitted a faint light.
The light seemed to contain some information, and this information was very complex; Su Han and the others closed their eyes, trying hard to interpret it.
After a while, they seemed to understand the content of the information.
It turned out that this spirit body was a guardian of this mysterious area; it sensed the Qi on Su Han and the others and knew some things about the Erosion Abyss.
Su Han quickly asked, “Can you tell us the weakness of the Erosion Abyss?” (End of chapter)
