Free Web NovelIt was a valley as beautiful and dreamlike as a fantasy, even in the darkness.
As the moonlight first pierced through, the entire valley seemed to have been splashed with Colored ink on glaze by a deity.
The winding stream at the bottom of the valley glowed with a silvery-blue luster, its bed covered with translucent, plump pearls that rippled with delicate halos, as if a galaxy had fallen into the mortal world.
The banks of the stream were covered with orchids as beautiful as moonlight, their petals as thin as cicada wings, translucent and shimmering with a faint purple glow.
As the night wind swept through, a cool fragrance diffused, and mist floated on the petals, reflecting the pearls at the bottom of the water.
Thousands of vines hung from the cliffs; during the day, they absorbed sunlight, and at night, they flowed with golden-red light like melted jewels.
“Yo Chirp.”
“Yo Chirp.”
Crisp, pleasant chirping sounds, like leaping musical notes, danced under the moonlight.
Among the leaves of these ten-thousand-year-old light vines lived a type of bird called the Jiuming Bird, which spent its entire life in trees, vines, and the sky.
During the day, their feathers were like sculpted emerald jade, scattering specks of phosphorescent powder when they flapped their wings.
At night, their feathers and bodies would become transparent, as if they didn't exist, and only their singing to the moon could be heard.
When they landed, death followed, and they would rapidly oxidize and decay.
Between sunrise and moonset, they would grow into the dream昙 orchid by the stream, more beautiful than moonlight.
“How beautiful,”
The four stood at the entrance of the valley.
Chen Xin, this tomboy, now had a dreamy expression, her fingers intertwined as she exclaimed with genuine emotion.
Even Lin Chen and Chu Fengfeng, those two big men, couldn't help but be captivated by the beautiful scenery before them, their eyes sparkling with admiration and praise.
Mingxi: “Don’t be so mesmerized yet. This is the Bloodless Despair Abyss, not a place to be careless. Quickly summon all your pet beasts.”
It is said that the more beautiful something is, the greater the danger it often harbors.
This is a truth in the Bloodless Despair Abyss.
Don't let this place's beauty, like a fairyland, deceive you; in reality, it's a place more terrifying and dangerous than the eighteen layers of hell.
Her words, which dampened the mood, made Chen Xin and the other two turn their heads in unison.
They gave her a staring salute.
“Xiao Xi, you have no heart!”
“Xi, you’ll end up alone.”
Mingxi smiled: “Perhaps I’m allergic to romance.”
As she spoke, she formed a hand seal and summoned her companions; they could finally come out and have fun together.
“Abyss Force.”
“Luo.”
As soon as the little ones came out, they rubbed, touched, and hugged Mingxi; it was the usual routine.
The emotional value they gave each other was more than enough.
Their harmony and warmth made Lin Chen and the other two, along with their pet beasts, look on with surprise and curiosity.
It was a bit cloying, and a bit enviable.
“Black Pearl, Silver Flower, give everyone the Curse and Angel's Kiss combo.”
After the affectionate moment ended, Mingxi immediately arranged things.
Before truly stepping into the Bloodless Despair Abyss, it was best to apply all the blessings.
Actually, for applying Curses, Emerald Green’s Thousand Spirits would naturally be more convenient, but considering that the second state has a cooldown, and Angel's Kiss is a single-target skill,
To avoid anyone (or pet beasts) being born with an unlucky constitution and getting hit by a Curse before receiving the Angel's Kiss blessing, it was safer to do them one by one.
(Note: This absolutely does not specifically refer to Golden Yuanbao and Chu Fengfeng, haha o(*￣︶￣*)o)
As for how many times the status reversal can be triggered?
Leave it to fate, pray for yourselves.
Facts proved that luck has always been a skill.
The dog-like heavens loved Silver Flower so deeply that she became the object of envy for everyone (and pet beasts) with an extreme blessing state of up to 24 times, lasting for 3 hours.
24 times!
Mingxi felt the power of the 4x blessing on herself.
She confirmed the heavens' deep malice towards her.
Yes.
She had the lowest blessing multiplier among all the people and pet beasts. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Absurd.
Even Golden Yuanbao and Chu Fengfeng had higher multipliers than her! She really didn't think Golden Yuanbao and Chu Fengfeng had an unlucky constitution!
When they were supposed to be lucky, they were extremely fortunate!
But, she was the lowest? Is this reasonable?!
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
“As?”
Black Pearl poked Mingxi's puffed-out little face, suggesting they try again.
Mingxi waved her hand, “Believe me, baby, with this kind of thing, it can only get worse the more you try.”
Mysticism is something you can only go with the flow on.
“Are you ready?” Mingxi adjusted her breathing.
Both people and pet beasts nodded.
“Good, then let’s go!”
“Silver Flower, Barrier, Red Jade, Hive Barrier, Rhino Light, Holy Light Shield.”
Before this, everyone had already decided that Lin Chen would be in charge of direct command, Chu Fengfeng for reconnaissance, and Chen Xin for support.
Mingxi, on the other hand, was responsible for overseeing the overall situation, ready to fill in gaps for them at any time, essentially acting as a firefighter.
The four people and a large group of pet beasts stepped into the Bloodless Despair Abyss together.
Moonlight, like a bolt of silk, fell upon them.
The stream still glowed with a silvery-blue luster, but the pearls beneath the surface instantly transformed into pale white eyeballs, rolling with the waves.
“Rustle... rustle...”
The pupils of all the eyeballs turned towards them.
Under the impartial illumination of the moonlight vine and the support of the clear stream, those eyeballs appeared even more eerie and chilling.
“Hiss! Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it in reality still makes my hair stand on end.”
Chu Fengfeng, a big man, started rubbing his arms vigorously.
Chen Xin, this time, didn't retort to Chu Fengfeng; she also felt that the atmosphere of this place had changed too quickly. Just now it was as beautiful as a fairyland, but now it had become a horror world.
No one could adapt to it immediately.
“Everyone, pay attention! A dream昙 orchid is wilting; we’re about to enter the ten-breath cycle.”
Despite the distraction, Chu Fengfeng, as the scout, didn't drop the ball.
“Lan Yue, Fire Child, Ice Maiden!”
“Ling.”
“Yan.”
“Long.”
The three were in position.
The dream昙 orchid, which refers to the clusters of orchids by the stream that are more elegant than moonlight.
Their Orchid King will quickly wither when it senses an external object.
Before a new Orchid King is born, the area where other dream昙 orchids are located will cycle wildly between day and night every ten breaths; during the day, all nearby water will boil and turn into lava, and conversely, at night, Ice Spikes will condense.
Not only that, but a special Transcendent creature called a Shadow Leech also lives beneath the dream昙 orchids. It's an insect-type, but this insect-type is formless and insubstantial, specializing in drilling into the seven orifices to suck out brain marrow, capable of hollowing out a brain in a very short time.
This was also the main reason Lin Chen had Silver Flower and the other two create three layers of protection.
“Boom—!”
Daylight suddenly arrived; this rapid alternation between black and white was quite stimulating to the eyes.
But at a time like this, no one would care.
The air exploded wildly.
In an instant, scorching flames and molten lava invaded the air.
Lin Chen immediately ordered: “Ice!”
Lan Yue and Chu Fengfeng's ice-type pet beast, Long Chuan Yun, simultaneously released the skills they had already prepared.
Blizzard!
Two Blizzards quickly suppressed the wildly spreading molten flames, [N O V E L I G H T] allowing Mingxi and the other two to breathe normally.
“Whoosh! Bang!”
The outermost Barrier was struck, and a finger-sized shadow slid to the ground.
Then came a dense series of collision sounds, making one's scalp tingle.
“Hiss—!”
