Chapter 214
Aoruilian took off his golden armor, wearing a white samurai suit, holding a golden two-handed greatsword and waving it constantly, familiarizing himself with the newly added power in his body.
In the air, two figures, one big and one small, chased and intersected like lightning; Lilisi was accompanying Nie Yingying in training. Feather throwing knives and wind blades collided constantly, erupting with harsh metallic impact sounds and energy-bursting sparks.
On the small training ground of the palace castle, wisps of rain began to fall unknowingly.
Raindrops fell gently on the stone floor of the training ground, splashing small water flowers.
A figure appeared silently at the edge of the training ground, the black tailcoat spotless, holding a Little Red Umbrella in one hand and stuffing a brass pocket watch into the left chest pocket with the other.
The two fighting in the air noticed Xie Yaoyao's arrival at the first moment, and a feather throwing knife and a wind blade shot toward him in unison.
It was just that the feather throwing knife pointing at Xie Yaoyao's throat was easily clamped by him with two fingers, and the wind blade shooting toward his shoulder only brought up a strong wind pressure and Helai'er's staggering flapping sound.
"Gaga! Yao, Lilisi is too much, she always bullies me now!"
"Now? Haha, hasn't she always been bullying you? I thought you were already used to it!"
Lilisi was very dissatisfied with Xie Yaoyao's words; she was just urging Helai'er from time to time, and after glaring at Xie Yaoyao, she landed lightly on his right shoulder.
Xie Yaoyao's smile disappeared instantly when he saw Nie Yingying's empty left arm, and he frowned and asked.
"Hans and that 【Blood Axe】 are both gone, it seems you guys went through a big battle before!"
Nie Yingying reached out to take her feather throwing knife and said indifferently: "Of course, a sixth-tier monster, Hydra, it was okay!"
Xie Yaoyao chuckled and took the opportunity to grab Nie Yingying's hand: "Looks like the harvest was good, is this bloodline entry a mission reward given by the Queen?"
Nie Yingying didn't expect Xie Yaoyao to bring this up, and her face turned red instantly.
"It... it's nothing... Huh!"
Before she had time to be shy, Nie Yingying noticed that the wound on her left hand began to itch, and then she watched with her own eyes as the missing left hand grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Your ability is even stronger than my Blood Clan bloodline!"
Nie Yingying happily checked her newly grown palm and found that only the color was slightly different from the original, and everything else was exactly the same.
"It's just the difference between essence and application, it's about the same, you'll understand when you dig deeper into your bloodline power in the future!"
Looking at Aoruilian not far away who greeted them and continued training, Xie Yaoyao asked: "Looks like you guys really completed a big mission, the rewards are very generous!"
"It's okay, it's just the key item, the apple! Huh, now that you've come back to life, you can just make a trip, kill that Hydra, most of its entries are purple! It just so happens that you can also avenge me!"
What do you mean 'come back to life', Xie Yaoyao's eye corners twitched.
"The BOSS wasn't killed? So you guys just grabbed the item and ran? Looks like I can make a trip."
In fact, Xie Yaoyao's need for entries was no longer urgent.
The biggest harvest of this retreat was that it made him understand why the powerhouses of those major forces were focused on digging into the power in their bloodlines—that was the power derived from the source of life, far more trustworthy than external objects.
And entries were more of an interpretation of power, the key was the power itself.
Soon, Xie Yaoyao obtained the address projected to him by Lilisi from his mental space.
With one hand on Nie Yingying's shoulder, when they appeared again, the two were already in a dark dense forest.
Beside them was a big tree that three people could hug, and under the tree, the skeleton of a horse was half-buried in the fallen leaves.
"Lilisi, I have to say I still like the forest!"
Since obtaining the ability to be invisible, Helai'er didn't like to talk, but Lilisi was much more lively than before.
"Yao, you are a Druid after all, not to mention that you now have part of the authority over plants."
A light rain began to fall in the forest, which made the eerie forest feel a bit more fresh and vibrant.
"That direction!"
Nie Yingying broke free from Xie Yaoyao's hand on her shoulder, stomped her feet and flew into mid-air, the cloak spread behind her blocking the blush on the girl's face like bat wings.
Lilisi followed immediately, and under the blessing of wind power, she surpassed Nie Yingying almost instantly.
Xie Yaoyao was holding the Little Red Umbrella and walking leisurely in the dense forest, but every step was accompanied by the flickering of his figure, always following closely behind the two.
In just the blink of an eye, they entered the Death Swamp.
Nie Yingying, who was brushing the Death Swamp dungeon for the second time, was much bolder than the first time.
With Xie Yaoyao, the big shot, escorting them, she didn't let go of any of the monsters she didn't provoke last time, and she even dragged out the ones she encountered last time to beat them up fiercely this time.
Swamp giant crocodiles became raw materials for bags, rotting wood tree spirits became dry firewood, rotting corpse beetles performed a wave of self-destructing fireworks shows...
But the most annoying thing was that the swarm of blood-sucking mosquitoes that sucked the bald Hans to death had disappeared, which made Nie Yingying furious; the bumps on her arm hadn't even completely faded yet!
When the feather throwing knives filled with blood energy shattered the spine of the last Bone Naga, Xie Yaoyao and Nie Yingying stepped onto the mud pool where the final BOSS, the Hydra, was located.
"This Death Swamp is really dirty, but it has an indescribable sense of intimacy!"
Xie Yaoyao's exclamation was immediately met with a direct head-on rebuttal from Lilisi.
"You made the cave under the palace even more disgusting than this, of course you feel intimate!"
This sentence immediately aroused Nie Yingying's curiosity.
"What cave?"
It was just that her attention was diverted in an instant.
"Hiss~ Roar~"
Accompanied by the familiar roaring sound, the Hydra's huge body emerged from the mud again.
This time, it looked even angrier!
Running here trip after trip! It's endless, isn't it!
Killing my little brother, grabbing my treasure, and cutting my snake head! Bullying an honest person, aren't you!
Fortunately, I've learned my lesson this time!
The Hydra's nine heads roared to the sky simultaneously, the sound wave shaking the swamp mud to a boil like soup. Countless venomous snakes drilled out of the foul-smelling mud pool, as if the entire swamp had turned into a snake den under its command!
The black-scaled snake swarm surged like a tide, and wherever it passed, grass and trees withered; red-eyed venomous pythons flew across the ground, the venom dripping from their fangs corroding the rocks into green smoke; half-rotting corpse snakes crawled dragging their broken bodies, their bellies bulging like abscesses, self-destructing the moment they approached their prey, splashing foul-smelling pus and blood.
The sky was covered by the membrane wings of flying snakes, they swooped down like falling rain of arrows, their poison glands glowing purple in the moonlight. The pupils of the Hydra's central head shrank, and all the snake swarms seemed to receive a silent command, suddenly changing formation, turning into a death net covering the sky and earth.
"Hiss hiss~"
"Click click~"
The hissing of the snake swarm and the sound of bone friction intertwined into a movement of hell.
Only then did Nie Yingying know how lucky they were to be able to take away the 'Sleeping Apple' alive before!
What kind of scene is it when a sixth-tier monster goes all out!
