It shook its head with difficulty, indicating resistance.
No!
Xiao Ye isn't going back!
It wanted to stay with its Beast Tamers!
It couldn't leave her alone here!
It had to protect her...
Golden Yuanbao wanted to resist the power of the contract, but resisting it would mean backlashing against the Beast Tamers...
Soon, only Mingxi was left in the long, empty cave.
She glanced at the timer on her terminal.
There were 48 seconds left until she had to leave the 03 Secret Realm.
A long 48 seconds.
“Hiss!”
Another majestic low growl came from afar.
Along with it came an increasingly profound and intense aura of suppression.
So this was a Saint-level Transcendent creature.
Its strength had completed a qualitative leap; it was indeed incredibly powerful!
No wonder there were many records of King-level pets defeating Emperor-level ones in Beast Tamers battles, but never had an Emperor-level pet defeated a Saint-level one.
After crossing the threshold of the Saint-level, the life essence of a Transcendent creature was sublimated. Not only was its lifespan infinitely extended, but its strength also more than quadrupled.
That Demon Blood Mosquito was only releasing its prestige and aura from an unknown distance, yet a single low growl was enough to sweep everything away.
It could easily take a person's head from a thousand miles away.
Mingxi spat out another large mouthful of blood.
There were still 47 seconds left.
But that Demon Blood Mosquito, which should have just completed its evolution, did not seem to intend to end its celebratory frenzy there.
The Saint-level prestige was still being continuously released!
“So ostentatious!”
Mingxi grumbled inwardly, while a potion appeared in her hand.
It was the S-Rank Body Tempering Potion.
She had originally planned to save it for after her Hongmeng Awakening next year, but in her current situation, other methods were completely useless.
The only way she could think of was to use the S-Rank Body Tempering Potion to stimulate her physical potential, thereby resisting this terrifying Saint-level aura.
This method was equally risky; she might not be able to withstand the body tempering effect of the S-Rank Potion and die suddenly.
But.
There was no other choice.
47 seconds, that might be enough time for her to die 46 times.
She could only gamble on this slim chance of survival.
Mingxi did not hesitate and gulped down the potion.
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
Every cell in her body seemed to have become a beating heart, constantly emitting a steady and powerful drumming sound.
Did it hurt?
Mingxi could only say that she had lost her reflexes, pain sensation, trigeminal nerve, vagus nerve...
Her body was constantly being crushed by the Saint-level aura, her skin tearing inch by inch, bones breaking one by one, blood gushing out...
Inside her body, the potion's energy was continuously tempering her cells, meridians, bones, and skin.
These two actually formed a closed loop of destruction, reshaping, then destruction, and reshaping again.
Even because of the external destruction, the potion's effect was maximized.
Do you know about sword casting?
In the early stages, iron ore or iron blocks need to be melted at high temperatures and refined into pure iron liquid before forging can begin.
The body tempering process of a body tempering potion is actually equivalent to sword casting. For a Beast Tamers with strong absorption capabilities, the initial and most basic step after the potion enters the body is destruction.
That's why absorbing a body tempering potion is so painful.
And Mingxi's current situation was equivalent to that initial step being completed by that Saint-level Demon Blood Mosquito, which not only saved the potion's energy consumption but also accelerated the body's absorption rate of the potion. freewebnoveℓ.com
Of course, this situation was also impossible to replicate.
With even the slightest mistake, Mingxi would have been directly crushed to death by the power unleashed by the Saint-level energy, unable to wait for the potion to temper and reshape her body.
“Whoosh!”
Although Mingxi still tried her best to remain conscious, she had actually lost control over the outside world.
She couldn't see, hear, or perceive anything.
So she didn't know that a figure with a very weak aura had floated to her with difficulty.
It stared at her intently for a while.
Before the teleportation light enveloped Mingxi, it transformed into a strange small grass with only two leaves: one tender green like top-grade jade, the other dark like the sky of the underworld.
With a “whoosh,” the small grass drilled into Mingxi's torn and bleeding body.
The next second, a vertical line, resembling an eye but not quite, appeared on Mingxi's brow. In the middle was a long, intertwined gray-green line, with a green and a gray pattern on either side.
The vertical line only appeared for a breath, then quickly vanished.
If anyone had seen this scene at that moment, they would have known it was a very special skill.
Rejuvenation Symbiosis.
Unfortunately, no one saw it.
The Pet Space had also been forcibly sealed by Mingxi from external contact.
So, no one knew about the changes happening to Mingxi.
The mirror of creation and destruction's teleportation light had already enveloped her, and just as she arrived, her figure vanished from this space covered by the Saint-level prestige.
Han Ning City Prosperous Luck Vault Center, inside Storage Room # Nоvеlight # 99.
Beneath the mirror of creation and destruction, a curled-up figure appeared.
“Hoo—”
The familiar stiffness and dizziness surged again, but the S-Rank Body Tempering Potion was still working wonders within Mingxi's body. In comparison, the side effects of the mirror of creation and destruction seemed trivial.
They didn't even elicit the slightest reaction from Mingxi.
However, the change in space still made Mingxi breathe a sigh of relief.
In any case, she had returned safely.
The door to a luxuriously decorated office in the Vault Center was knocked.
The female assistant, whose chest rose and fell significantly, walked in and said to the young man poring over reports at the desk, “Manager Zhang, the colleagues from the Logistics Department just reported that the guest who used the 03 Secret Realm's mirror of creation and destruction at noon today has returned. Do you need to see her?”
The young man, whose alias was Zhang Shaohang and real name was Yun Hang, suddenly looked up.
His handsome face was filled with disbelief.
“What did you say?!”
“Who returned?!”
Although the female assistant was puzzled by his strong reaction, she still repeated it seriously.
Yun Hang couldn't believe what he heard, but he wasn't deaf or crazy.
“...I understand. I’ll be right down. Please inform the Logistics Department to ask the guest to wait for a moment.”
“Okay.”
The female assistant exited the office.
He said “right away,” but Yun Hang sat blankly in his office chair for several minutes without moving.
“...Xiao Ye actually had a day where he misjudged things?”
“Is it that outrageous? A D-level Beastmaster can return from the Dark Void Cave completely unscathed? Could it be that the Demon Blood Mosquito hasn't evolved to Saint-level yet?”
Yun Hang wasn't Mingxi. He was well aware of the dominance of Saint-level wild Transcendent creatures. Releasing Saint-level aura to bully weaker opponents was a minor matter; they could even cause massacres. freēwēbnovel.com
And even if the Demon Blood Mosquito hadn't completed its evolution, the news that it was about to evolve was certainly correct.
At such a time, the Demon Blood Scorpion clan would be driven out of their old lair, causing chaos everywhere.
In other words, the Dark Void Cave was at its most chaotic and dangerous during this period.
But now Mingxi had returned safely.
This was a result he had never expected.
He took a deep breath before propping himself up on the desk to stand.
Then he saw the electronic clock opposite him.
He frowned.
2:24 PM.
This time was wrong!
