Chapter 106 Taking it upon oneself to slay demons and monsters
Ning Xiaoxi lay quietly on the wooden bed, her soft fur clean and fresh. The tent wasn't completely closed, leaving a ventilation hole. Through the hole, she could see the stars in the sky.
The small trees in the cave began to sway, and the three little creatures on the branches swayed happily.
"Don't cause trouble. Keep your temper in check on their turf."
[Tuanzi, look what that black dragon is doing.]
【okay! 】
Behind the tent hall, there is a row of very simple tents, not big, just enough for one person to live in.
Inside the third tent from the left, Black Dragon lay quietly on the bed.
Just as their gaze quietly approached the black dragon and landed on his face.
Suddenly, her closed eyes opened, and her golden eyes pierced through the mist and space, staring straight into the depths of Ning Xiaoxi's soul.
"Snapped!"
"Ouch!"
Ning Xiaoxi rubbed her aching cheek, looking at the spirit crystal heart that had transformed into a chubby little hand in front of her. Suddenly, she realized that she had been discovered by the black dragon.
[Tuanzi, do you really think I can destroy this thing?]
Tuanzi, its black and white body swaying, appeared in front of Ning Xiaoxi, looking noticeably thinner.
【What’s wrong with you?】
Can you believe I've had my energy drained?
Ning Xiaoxi grabbed Tuanzi by the waist. It actually had a waist now! It hadn't just lost weight! [Am I too weak?]
This is not scientifically sound!
[Science is not a factor here!]
How could it possibly have found me?
It is a great demon, an ancient great demon!
Don't you feel sorry for me? If all my energy is absorbed, I'll be gone.
What does "gone" mean? Does it mean the account is closed?
[No power, meaning the machine is out of service.]
We won't peek at it next time.
Ning Xiaoxi.
"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't beat them!"
The little dumpling was so depressed that its whole body slumped down. It seemed that it had realized something was wrong with it, something very wrong.
"The world I see seems different from what you remember," Ning Xiaoxi said slowly. "The task you mentioned back then was simple: to slay demons and monsters, preserve humanity's status, ensure humanity survives the millennium calamity, and prevent the world from restarting."
Tuanzi looked at Ning Xiaoxi with a wronged expression.
"But look at the demons I've encountered, and the two you mentioned before. Do you think it's as simple as you make it out to be? The black dragon just appeared within the Kuafu tribe, and was even a priest there. Do you really think simply slaying demons can solve the problem?"
Two lines of tears streamed down Tuanzi's face.
"I'm just a nobody, caught and brought into this world by you. Faced with all these bizarre things, have I said anything? And you're still complaining." Ning Xiaoxi sighed. "I don't look down on you for being useless, and don't feel aggrieved. Now we're tied together, so we have to find a way to survive, no matter what."
Tuanzi stared blankly at Ning Xiaoxi.
The stars twinkled in the sky, and the night was utterly still.
Stop thinking about all that nonsense. We only have one goal: to slay demons and monsters, to the best of our ability.
Seeing that Tuanzi was finally less depressed, Ning Xiaoxi hugged it tightly. "From now on, when you encounter a powerful demon lord who is above our level, just play it safe. Your life is the most important thing!" This little fool, is it an eliminated character? Otherwise, not only does the plot not match up, but the characters are also a mess. She was afraid that if she kept going around in circles, she would burn out this little fool's CPU.
What a mess her life is!
Suddenly, the three mulberry trees outside the tent hall began to sway without wind, their chaotic branches shaking erratically. This caused the three mulberry trees inside Ning Xiaoxi's cave to sway as well. Ling Jingxin quickly returned to her cave and hung from a branch, joining the heart and cabbage in suppressing the swaying of the three mulberry trees.
Ning Xiaoxi sat up, clutching her chest, and stepped to the doorway, gazing at the three mulberry trees in front of the main hall, where the black dragon stood.
As the branches swayed, spiritual energy surged, and it flew wildly throughout the entire square.
A dozen tall figures appeared around the Three Mulberry Trees. When they tried to approach, the Black Dragon stopped them, and they stood guard on the outer perimeter, blocking the chaotic spiritual energy.
Heilong watched Ning Xiaoxi from a distance for a while, then reached back and stroked the tree trunk. Gradually, the branches calmed down.
A gentle spiritual energy emanated from the small tree in the cave, softly caressing it. The withered trunk and thin branches seemed to be nourished, appearing somewhat vibrant.
Damn it, the little tree that swallowed her whole fountain and still couldn't get any moisture, got moistened just by that black dragon's gentle touch?
You little traitor!
"This sacred tree is really active today! It seems it's quite welcoming of Xiaoxi's arrival!"
"Has the guard not rested yet?" The divine tree? A divine tree is located within the human race's territory?
"Such a loud noise, I had to come out and take a look. Xiaoxi was also woken up."
"With such abundant spiritual energy, if it weren't for the slight chaos, I probably would have been tempted to absorb some." Ning Xiaoxi watched as the black dragon turned and walked into the main hall. "These days, cultivation is difficult, and spiritual energy is hard to find. I never imagined that the Three Mulberry Divine Tree would have such a rich reserve of spiritual energy!"
“Our tree can’t even grow leaves, so how can it have much spiritual power?”
Ning Xiaoxi looked at Kuiwei Shouyu with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"Haha, I'm going back to rest." Kuiwei Shouyu laughed awkwardly, turned around and went into the tent next door.
Ning Xiaoxi glanced at Kuiwei Shouyu's back. Was this guy spying on her?
In the early morning, Ning Xiaoxi opened her eyes in the cool breeze, and the fan formed from the Spirit Crystal Heart warmly fanned her head.
"It's so cold, you don't need to be so enthusiastic." He waved his hand to retrieve the Spirit Crystal Heart, watched it hang on a tree branch, and scooped hot water from the earthenware pot on the fire pit to start washing up.
"Is Xiaoxi awake?" Kuiwei Mountain Spirit's voice came from outside the door.
"Please come in, sister." Ning Xiaoxi quickly went to greet her and opened the curtain.
Kuiwei Mountain Spirit walked in carrying a teapot and a tray. "Come in quickly, the morning breeze is chilly, don't catch a cold."
"What delicious food did my sister bring me?"
"It's too greasy to eat early in the morning, so I brought milk tea and milk cake." Kuiwei Mountain Spirit hung the teapot on the fire, put down the tray, and added two more pieces of firewood. "I have nothing to do today, so I'll take Xiaoxi for a walk in the valley. There's a hot spring deep in the valley, and the water has a soothing effect. Xiaoxi can soak in it."
"Hot spring!" Ning Xiaoxi's eyes lit up. A hot spring deep in the ice field! What a wonderful thing!
"Xiao Xi, I've come to say goodbye." Kuiwei Shanyue's voice came from the doorway.
Ning Xiaoxi opened the curtain and looked at the energetic Kuiwei Shanyue, "Are you going to start the trial again?"
"Yes, I originally wanted to go to Kongsang Mountain with you, but I'm not strong enough right now. Xiaoxi, wait for me. I'll come find you after I pass the trial."
"My family is still in exile. I'm going to the border after the Kongsang matter is settled. Why are you looking for me?"
“Then I’ll go to the border!” Kuiwei Shanyue said matter-of-factly.
"Shanyue, it's time for you to go." Kuiwei Mountain Spirit looked at his younger brother with a stern face.
Ning Xiaoxi smiled at Kuiwei Shanyue, raised her hand to pat him, but realized it was inappropriate and didn't know where to pat him. Helplessly, she waved her hand and said, "I wish you a successful trial."
