Chapter 996

Hearing Su Yu's answer, the giant python said nothing more, just a flash of white light—they arrived in a space.

Su Yu looked at the scene before him; the air, filled with rich floral fragrance, lingered all around, a faint, dark scent that was refreshing to the heart and spirit.

Clouds wrapped around mist, hazy and indistinct. Su Yu turned back to look at the giant python; the powerful sense of pressure had been surrounding him all along. Su Yu pursed his lips and said calmly: I have thought it over.

The giant python raised his hand, and a touch of golden light covered Su Yu. Su Yu, within the circle of light, gently lifted his eyes, letting the light surround him, then closed his eyes, feeling his body become light and slowly leaving the ground.

The giant python looked coldly at Su Yu, who was ascending bit by bit within the light, his expression icy.

Light radiated in all directions, and as the height of the ascent increased, it enveloped Su Yu within it.

Su Yu's brows furrowed slightly, feeling his whole body becoming increasingly painful, yet he could only accept the True Qi that did not belong to him. He stopped in mid-air, feeling the power within his body becoming stronger and stronger; the True Qi was rampaging in his body, and he could only accept this pain.

As Su Yu grew increasingly powerful, the giant python looked at the suffering Su Yu in mid-air, expressionless.

The light froze for an instant, and Su Yu also felt the pain decrease. The clouds and mist around him became thinner, the stream stopped flowing, and the clouds and mist stopped turning, as if everything around had frozen.

The pain on Su Yu's body was gone, his furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he felt that everything around him had stopped, floating in mid-air. The giant python looked up, staring at him without blinking, never speaking.

A flash of golden light, and the light that was no longer flowing suddenly retracted, merging into Su Yu's body.

Su Yu gradually relaxed, but he didn't know the changes happening around him. At the moment the circle of light contracted, he seemed not to have reacted yet; his eyes were flashed by the light, and he felt unbearable pain in his body as the light pierced into him.

Su Yu clenched his fists. He looked up and let the light pierce into his body, but could only endure it. He didn't know how long it had been; he had long since become gradually numb due to the pain.

Clouds and mist swirled, and the sound of a stream could be faintly heard. The light was gone, and Su Yu fell from mid-air. Falling to the ground, he was exhausted, stood up stumbling, and turned his head to look at the giant python.

He didn't know what his state of mind or feelings were now. Su Yu's heart was a mess of complexity.

The giant python also looked at Su Yu. He was calm and silent, raised his hand, and with just a flash of white light—they arrived at the Giant Rhino Ruins.

The desolate, gloomy place seemed to be covered in a layer of dust. The prosperity was gone, yet one could faintly see the scene of past bustling fireworks. When Su Yu stepped in here again, his mood was so calm.

Su Yu suppressed the faint terror in his heart and lifted his eyes to look at the giant python with slight confusion.

The giant python saw Su Yu's confusion and said calmly: This trip is to resurrect the heir of the Giant Rhino.

The Giant Rhino was once the most civilized planet in the universe, but for some unknown reason, it fell into ruin.

Su Yu frowned and said: Isn't the heir of the Giant Rhino that person in white?

The giant python moved a step closer to Su Yu, his eyes locking onto his pupils, and asked pressingly: You actually know him?

Su Yu was startled, slowly nodded, and bowed his head in agreement: Yes.

Su Yu stared at the giant python, wanting to see something in the other's eyes, but the giant python was always one to keep his emotions hidden, so Su Yu had to ask.

"What should I do next?"

The giant python slowly turned his head, his eyes a dead, waveless pool. He stood on the spot, stunned for a long time, before speaking, his voice hoarse.

"Go resurrect that person."

Su Yu looked at him in surprise.

What connection did the giant python and the person in white have?

Su Yu's words were on the tip of his tongue, but when he touched the giant python's expression, he suddenly swallowed them all back, picking and choosing before saying three words.

"Why?"

The giant python did not reply to him, but his eyes, which had always been like a dry well, finally rippled.

"... I want you to revive the Giant Rhino—the premise is that the heir of the Giant Rhino must participate."

Speaking of this, the giant python's pupils became vertical in an instant, as if this matter pleased him greatly.

Su Yu observed the giant python's reaction and faintly realized something.

So the cooperation the giant python wanted all along was for him to help him revive the Giant Rhino, but Su Yu knew well that his strength was not yet that strong, so he looked at him suspiciously.

"... Are you sure I can accomplish this?"

The giant python nodded gently.

Looking at the giant python like this, Su Yu only felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say exactly where the discomfort was. He looked at the Giant Rhino in front of him, which was desolate yet faintly showed signs of its former prosperity, and felt it was somewhat strange.

The giant python instructed him.

"Tell me the place where the last strand of the person in white's soul dissipated."

Su Yu frowned quietly and quickly asked the two Machine Emperors in the Card Controller space.

"Can I tell him?"

Jifeng Xunlei quickly gave an answer: "If you want to live, tell him."

Su Yu didn't hesitate and told him that his last meeting with the person in white was in the forest.

But strangely, Su Yu didn't tell him where the forest was, yet the giant python seemed to have come to the Giant Rhino Ruins countless times, finding the forest Su Yu mentioned with ease and standing on the spot, waiting for Su Yu's arrival.

Resurrecting the person in white is the first step to reviving the Giant Rhino.
