Chapter 1993: Chapter Thirty-Two: The Suffering Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang
Su Xiao closed the Reincarnation Amusement Park prompt and did not immediately enter the spatial rift ahead; he needed to recover his injuries as much as possible.
Su Xiao first drank a bottle of ancient secret medicine, then began secondary treatment of the wound on his chest, and poured half a bottle of ancient secret medicine onto the wound.
With Su Xiao's self-healing ability, as well as Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's halo and the restorative power of 'Life Force,' his injuries healed at a steady pace.
Skill 2, Life Force (Active lv. 37): Remote recovery of designated target 85 HP + Charm attribute x4.6.
After digesting the flesh and blood of the Sacrificial Divine Ox, Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's true Charm attribute reached 105 points, and milk production slightly increased.
After resting for a full seven hours, the severe pain in Su Xiao's chest finally subsided, though the rumbling from the Moon God Monastery still occasionally echoed; judging by the situation, the battle might not end before dawn, after all, the overall commander had withdrawn mid-way.
Whether the Holy King is alive or dead remains unknown; presumably, the assassin highly anticipated by the Moon Goddess is not weak in strength.
Su Xiao let out a long breath, rose, and came to the spatial rift in the middle of the metal door; crystal layers wrapped around his right arm, and he attempted to probe his right arm into the spatial rift.
A pulling force suddenly appeared, as if hundreds of icy small hands grabbed Su Xiao's arm; he immediately pulled back, but even with his strength, he couldn't pull free—instead, he was gradually dragged into the spatial rift, with over half of his body already inside.
"Hehehehehe..."
A strange yet somewhat amused yin laughter echoed; seeing this, Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang hurried forward, stretched out a hind leg, and gestured for Su Xiao to grab it.
Bahamut was also quick-witted, its two claws reaching for Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, but just as it was about to grab, it hesitated—grabbing the head would be too sharp with its claws.
There was no time to consider; Bahamut clenched its metallic-feeling claws, grabbed Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's two ears, flapped its wings with full force, intending to pull Su Xiao out.
"Woooo!!"
Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang exploded with fur; at this moment, Su Xiao grabbed its hind leg, Bahamut grabbed its two ears, and it was directly yanked into the air, three legs off the ground, kicking wildly, tears welling in its eyes.
"Hold on, something's very wrong in there."
Bahamut shouted loudly, flapping its wings even harder.
"Woo woo wow (Hit the horse, don't grab the ears, change position)."
"Grabbing the head hurts more; even if the ears fall off, they can grow back."
"Woo woo (Hit the horse, the ears hurt more)."
The wind pressure from Bahamut's fluttering wings blew wood shavings flying in the room, accompanied by Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's howling.
Qingying Shadow energy surged continuously on Su Xiao's arm; he felt the small hands grabbing him trembling, one by one letting go—he wanted to enter 'Earth City' correctly, but absolutely did not want to be dragged in by these unknown small hands.
Ba-la!
Hearing this sound, Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's three legs stiffened, thinking its ear had broken; actually, its ear hadn't fallen off—it was the last small hand grabbing Su Xiao that shattered.
The pulling force from within the spatial vortex suddenly diminished significantly.
"Go in."
Upon hearing this, Bahamut and Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang simultaneously exerted force—one person, one dog, one bird entered the spatial rift.
With a boom, the metal door closed from both sides, the mechanism above began rotating in reverse, the Earth City key popped out, the shattered walls retracted inward, and soon returned to their original state.
In the dizzying pulling sensation, Su Xiao realized one thing: compared to these wild teleportation arrays, the teleportation provided by the Reincarnation Amusement Park was still decent—at least it would first knock him unconscious.
In the dizziness, Su Xiao vaguely saw a bright light ahead.
"Damn."
Bahamut's shout came—it entered the bright light first, then Su Xiao, and finally Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang.
With a thud, Bahamut fell onto the dark earth, its wings spread wide, just as it tried to climb up, Su Xiao crashed down onto it.
"My waist, oh~"
Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang fell again, sitting in a horse-riding posture on Bahamut's head, Bahamut's beak directly stabbed into the ground.
As soon as Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang landed, it covered its ears with its two front paws, rolling in pain on the ground for a while before recovering.
Su Xiao shook his head; many white dots flickered before his eyes—this was the feeling of seeing stars.
"My goodness."
Bahamut pulled its head out of the soil, just about to catch its breath, when Su Xiao—still blurred from afterimage—pressed down on its head again, pushing it back into the soil.
Su Xiao lost his balance slightly, nearly falling over; he simply lay down on the ground—this was the wildest teleportation he had ever experienced; even the spatial diagram built by the 'Space-System Genius' Lilim would not cause such jarring turbulence; just now, someone with a weaker constitution might have died inside.
After lying for a few minutes, Su Xiao recovered his state, took a deep breath—the air was unusually fresh, smelling of earth and a faint sweetness, which quickly cleared his mind; the aftereffects of the jarring sensation dissipated like smoke.
Su Xiao's gaze swept around—before him lay a desolate expanse, black earth barren of grass, the sky low and overwhelmingly dark.
Thud, thud, thud...
A muffled sound came; Su Xiao followed the source and saw an old man with a hunched back, wearing black hemp clothes, his garments tattered as if a whole piece of black hemp cloth were draped over him, his face so aged that gender was indistinguishable, holding in his hand a turtle shell about one meter in diameter, striking it with a leg bone.
"Young man, do you want to buy water?"
The hunched old man stopped a few meters away; iron rings pierced his chin, hanging iron oil lamps, the lamp shades covered in grime, the metal frame rusted and mottled.
"What's the price?"
"Half your soul."
The hunched old man gave a sinister chuckle, only a few blackened teeth remaining in his mouth.
"I don't need it."
"Too bad—wish you make it out alive."
The hunched old man walked away tapping the turtle shell; indeed, as the Reincarnation Amusement Park hinted, before angering the Moon Goddess, the plot characters in Earth City remained neutral.
Su Xiao looked into the distance, aided by the dim light in the sky, and saw a towering tree far off, conservatively estimated to be several hundred meters tall.
Just as Su Xiao prepared to head toward that towering tree, a spatial rift appeared; a full-body semi-transparent figure with long fluorescent blue hair and a slender frame descended from within the rift.
Seeing this figure, Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Dragon-Slaying Flash; this slender figure was none other than the weeping woman who had sat in the flowerbed behind the monastery courtyard and torn off a subordinate's arm.
The weeping woman was also somewhat dazed from the teleportation; she struggled to stand, took a few steps sideways in place, then tripped over her own feet and fell flat on the ground.
"Wuu wuu wuu..."
The weeping woman let out soft sobs; in her crying were feelings of injustice, helplessness, and a soul-deep yearning for help.
Su Xiao could sense that the weeping woman's aura was strange—it felt like a naked body standing on an ice plain, only able to endure the biting wind like blades, yet unable to do anything.
After crying a little, the weeping woman lifted her head to look around; upon seeing Su Xiao, she immediately tried to cover her face with her hands; her soul sensed familiarity, nearly fearing that acquaintances would see her current state—she had once loved beauty, but now had become a monster.
"The Empire's Flower·Sonia."
Su Xiao had long recognized the crying woman's identity; a beauty who could still look like this even after turning into a monster was not common within the Empire.
"Ah!"
The crying woman·Sonia let out a "miserable cry," turned around and ran; to be honest, given her speed, if they really fought, Su Xiao wouldn't be able to settle this enemy in a short while.
