It just knew that woman would never abandon it!
Bright Crystal had no concept of storing or retrieving items, so it never thought of taking energy pills or other items from the Time Realm.
Enduring the pressure of the seawater and the risk of being attacked by sea beasts, it successfully arrived outside the Funeral Enlightenment Trench, a place where only microorganisms were said to survive, with the help of that sea spine dolphin.
“Sea spine.”
The white smiling angel now wore a bitter expression, shaking its head frantically at the fierce-looking little person who was raising a small fist.
It truly could only bring it this far; if it went any further, even if it wasn't beaten to death by this little devil, it would still die.
Seeing the sea spine dolphin's resigned look, as if saying, 'If you push me any further, I'll just smash myself against a pillar and die,' Bright Crystal realized that further threats were useless.
It seems this old man's path as a brave warrior can only be walked alone!
“Guwo...”
Bright Crystal waved its hand, telling it to scram quickly.
It had a light blue pearl in its mouth, so its words were a bit unclear.
This pearl was the energy crystallization of a Transcendent creature called Danqi, a marine species, over its lifetime.
It had the effect of allowing non-marine creatures to breathe freely in seawater.
It was also a spoils of war it obtained from raiding a Danqi gathering place.
As for how it knew about the existence and function of the danqi bead? Naturally, it asked other Transcendent creatures after robbing them!
Although it was not well-versed in practical matters, it was still very clear that a rock-type pet beast like itself would definitely not survive if it dived into the deep sea, so it had to be well-prepared.
At the very least, it needed to be able to breathe freely in the sea.
Only after the white sea spine dolphin swam away did Bright Crystal look at the dark and narrow trench ahead.
It quietly tidied the light bulb flowers wrapped around its neck, waist, and wrists.
Then, without hesitation, it moved its short legs and swam into the trench... freewebnoveℓ.com
“Bright Crystal!”
Mingxi practically pounced to catch Bright Crystal, who had fallen from the sky.
“Guwo...”
Its small body curled up in her arms, as if searching for a comfortable position, its voice low, like a weak kitten. fгeewebnovёl.com
Mingxi's tears were uncontrollable, gushing out like a river.
Bright Crystal's appearance at this moment was truly tragic.
Its originally round crystal head had almost completely disappeared, leaving only a small, unbearable portion.
Only one corner of its large eyes remained, its nose was completely gone, and only half of its mouth was left.
Even the crystals on its waist had cracks.
Both hands and feet had also largely disappeared; the originally three-headed Bright Crystal was now less than two heads tall.
It looked as if it could shatter at any moment.
The crystals on its head and waist were its life source cores; if they completely shattered, it would not survive.
“How could this happen?”
Mingxi's hands trembled, feeling as if she herself was about to shatter.
She had actually figured out what Bright Crystal had done; it had been left alone outside, and somehow found this sealed space.
But it couldn't get in, so it could only use Headbutt, Heavy Punch, and even flying kicks to forcefully break through this sealed space.
That's why its head was mostly shattered.
None of its four limbs were intact.
Mingxi couldn't imagine how painful this process was, and how it managed to persevere?
“...Guwo?”
You didn't want to abandon me, right?
Bright Crystal moved its eye, which only had the outer corner left, and asked in a low voice.
Mingxi's tears flowed even more fiercely, “Of course not! I will never abandon you!”
Bright Crystal pulled at its tattered lips, revealing a relaxed smile.
“Guwo.”
This old man trusts you.
Mingxi looked at the unconscious, dying Bright Crystal, and quickly shouted at the top of her lungs: “Little Silver Flower, help!”
“Luo!”
Little Silver Flower, who had just completed its evolution and was admiring its perfect majestic form, felt its heart jump upon hearing Mingxi's voice, which was filled with sadness and despair.
The enormous phantom behind it instantly dissipated, retracting into its body.
The sky-reaching giant sword also reverted to a green-silver scepter.
Its sister was calling for help.
It followed the sound and indeed saw Mingxi's figure, holding a small body in her arms.
Little Silver Flower had turned around when the giant sword cleaved out a strike, so it was facing away from where Bright Crystal fell.
Coupled with its immersion in its own magnificent and perfect evolution, it hadn't noticed Bright Crystal's appearance earlier.
“Whoosh!”
The next second, Little Silver Flower instantly moved beside Mingxi, and finally saw Bright Crystal in her arms, looking so miserable it made it want to shed a few tears of sympathy.
No wonder its usually tough and iron-blooded sister was crying like a dog.
In this state, Bright Crystal couldn't have already kicked the bucket, could it?
At the same time, seawater had already begun to pour wildly into the large hole that Bright Crystal had forcefully smashed open!
“Splash, splash, splash...”
“Crack, crack, crack...”
The water pressure caused the cracks at the opening to grow larger and larger; in the blink of an eye, the half-person thick water column had expanded to eight or nine meters, and the opening area was still continuously expanding.
It wouldn't take long for the 'sky' to completely break open, and then...
It was still a waterfall at this moment.
The platform where Mingxi had stayed earlier was already submerged, turning into a watery expanse, with the water level rising higher and higher.
While Little Silver Flower was healing Bright Crystal, the water level below had already reached over a meter high.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the central island where they were located would also be submerged.
Bright Crystal truly was quiet until it made a shocking impact.
“Guwo!”
Although Bright Crystal was severely injured, it didn't take much effort for the now King-level Little Silver Flower to heal it.
Bright Crystal, revived on the spot, touched its bald, round head, then touched its intact eyes and mouth, and grinned.
Not bad, not bad, this old man is handsome and invincible again.
It glanced at Mingxi, then deftly climbed onto Mingxi's head and held it in its mouth.
This position was still the most comfortable.
Mingxi sighed softly, then took a deep breath, reached out to stroke Bright Crystal's large forehead, and only then did she calm her emotions and look around.
She wondered if Little Silver Flower's evolution had made some people realize the preciousness of the Tomb complex in the outer area.
Ni Heta, Lippert, and other Beast Tamers who had come out through a certain 'tomb-raiding tunnel' had all abandoned her «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» and were now using their various divine abilities, attempting to enter those outer Tomb complex.
However, the tombs connected by thin red lines were not only protected by anti-flight restrictions, but once approached, they would also rapidly drain the pet beast's energy.
“How can this be?! Why can't I get in?!”
Some people fell from high altitudes, others flailed in the water.
No one, neither human nor pet beast, could successfully enter the outer tombs, including the abnormally powerful and even more abnormal Lippert.
Mingxi frowned, looking at him, feeling that his reaction was somewhat off.
Just now, his killing intent towards her was clearly so strong; to be precise, he was very interested in the items on her.
But this intense killing intent rapidly disappeared after he discovered this Tomb complex.
It seemed that in his mind, this Tomb complex was far more important than killing her and seizing her treasures!
So, did he know something?
“Junior, look down quickly, is that your Akanos?”
