Chapter 279 - The Sword Calls

The boxes were very heavy. The moment they appeared, Chen Changsheng and those two women began to descend even faster to the lake bottom.

Astonishment crept into the eyes of the two women. They had no idea how these boxes appeared or what was in them.

The boxes were not locked, so under the pressure of the water, their lids tore open, illuminating their contents in the gentle and beautiful light of those wings. At the same time, the items within the boxes began to emit their own sort of gentle and beautiful light.

It was an almost sacred white light, holding an unimaginable amount of magic, at least for humans.

If this were not such a tense and perilous moment, perhaps even those two women would also think this way.

The boxes contained silver, and the light they emitted was called silver light. It was even more real than starlight, even more enticing, and thus, more beautiful.

The silver came from various places. Some was gifted to Chen Changsheng by his master and senior before he left Xining Village for travel and living expenses, some was given to him by Luoluo as when she was paying respects to him as her teacher. There was also some from Tang Thirty-Six's generous donations, as well as generous gifts from various priests from the Li Palace. Chen Changsheng had never counted up exactly how much silver there was. He just had them converted into silver ingots and carried them with him.

Now, when his life was at its most perilous moment, he had used up all the silver in one go.

In the space formed by those two wings of light, the rushing of the water caused those silver taels to roil about. Like stone, they pounded against the faces and bodies of all three people.

However, this was still not enough; it was not sufficient to break through those wings of light.

He still needed more things.

Thus, Chen Changsheng's spiritual sense continued deeper into the hilt of the dagger.

The next thing to come out was a Night Pearl.

The Night Pearl was very large and very round, even more than the Night Pearls embedded into the Dew Platform, even more than the Night Pearls that attached to the roof of the Black Dragon's underground cavern. The Night Pearl had been Luoluo's first gift to him, and it looked very much like a big washing bowl. Of course, for those two women who had grown up in Xuelao City, perhaps they would be willing to use the sacred moon to describe this extraordinary Night Pearl.

Only, the two women could not be like ordinary women, being shocked and moved, then fall into a fervor. One reason was because they were engaged in battle. The other reason was that the Night Pearl directly smashed against the demon woman's face. Even in the water, the boom could be clearly heard. Soon after, that demon woman's nose began to bleed a stream of green blood.

The demon woman was filled with rage, and also very confused. She simply had no idea where this Night Pearl had come from, and its impact was not light.

But this still was not enough. It was not sufficient to help Chen Changsheng escape the constraints of those wings of light.

Thus, Chen Changsheng continued deeper into the sword hilt, taking out item after item.

The next item to appear....was half of a whole roasted lamb.

The half a roast lamb, from which steam still seemed to rise, appeared within those wings of light, then collided with that dignified woman's body.

It was very obvious that the dignified woman was somewhat of a clean freak, so when that half roast lamb caked with oil embraced her, she almost went crazy.

But this still was not enough.

One roast chicken, two roast chickens, three roast chickens… around a dozen roast chickens, like thrown stones, appeared between those wings and smashed at her body.

There was Liaobei County's roast deer tail, Wanzhou County's roast fish, Wenshui's spicy thirteen plates, the South Sea's steamed double fish heads...

With the continuous stimulation of Chen Changsheng's spiritual sense, innumerable pieces of food appeared one after the other. In a flash, the space between those wings of light was crammed.

These were pieces of food that the Black Dragon had required him to prepare when they left the capital. Right now, the Black Dragon was merely a spiritual soul inside a jade ruyi, so she could not eat very much.

Thus these foods had been stored away, extremely fresh, very hot and pungent, and still maintaining their original flavors.

Within those wings of light, roast chicken took flight with duck wings, red soup blurred together with persimmons.

It was complete confusion, absolute chaos.

Countless foods and juices mixed together, producing a revolting mix.
