Chapter 372: What Supposed to be Xie Tians Power (1/2)
Zhu Qiao was depressed.
It had been days since she was trapped in the unknown spider nest.
At first, Zhu Qiao had thought that she managed to escape from the hell hole easily. But then, she realized the weird Qi in her brain.
It felt similar to her mother's skill, the Eternal Sweet Dream, which every Succubus Queen had.
Eternal Sweet Dream forced their targets to fall asleep and had a realistic dream. As for their bodies, they became soulless puppets for the succubi.
As Zhu Qiao's mother used to toy with her many times in the past, she could sense the irregular activities or hypnosis effect, caused by the strange Qi. Without trouble, she shattered the realistic dreams and returned to the real world within a few hours.
However, she couldn't dispel the Qi in her brain. By the time she woke up, she got stuck inside a cocoon for the second time.
Again, Zhu Qiao rushed out of the nest with her talisman cheats.
And again, the same Qi strand in her brain knocked her unconscious. Then, she was trapped in a realistic dream once more.
And again, Zhu Qiao broke out of the dream and tried to get out.
Afterward, on the verge of breaking free, she fell asleep and got sent back to her dream.
The loop repeated.
On the morning of the fifth day, after the failure of her 25th attempt, Zhu Qiao gave up.
She was depressed!
”FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!”
Zhu Qiao screamed while she was stuck in a spider web cocoon.
”What did I do to deserve this!? I just want a happy ending! Why is this different from a normal Otome game!?”
Zhu Qiao started crying like a little girl. At the same time, she started burning every spider web that she found, including weak spiderlings.
She had lost it. Now, she wanted to destroy this place and the entire nest.
BOOM
As soon as Zhu Qiao tore another piece of talisman's paper, she fired a laser beam, evaporating the Qi Sealing Amethyst Mine's ceiling, opening a path for sunlight to shine into the cave room.
”Waaaaaahhhh! I hate spiders!”
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Again, Zhu Qiao tore ten more talismans and fired ten similar beams randomly, turning the mine into a beehive.
Coincidentally, one of the beams was aimed toward the ground.
BOOM
This time, the beam particle hit something hard three kilometers underground below Zhu Qiao.
The girl heard the odd explosive sound below her. While throwing a tantrum, Zhu Qiao brought out all 500 laser beam talismans and used them, aiming at the dark glossy thing.
”If I have to die, you die too!!”
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
500 laser beams, containing the strength of 6th-stage cultivators, were fired toward the unknown luster metal underground. The power created a direct pathway to the unknown black thing.
Despite being hit by several light beams, the glossy black thing was fine. However, there were movements.
A lizard finger briefly appeared and scratched the surface of the black metal for a moment before it was pulled back.
Zhu Qiao squinted her eyes, trying to see further away in the dark cave. She wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, but for a moment there, she believed that the thing she had been hitting was similar to a dragon scale.
Since Zhu Qiao had already given up escaping from this cape, she already prepared to use a random teleportation talisman. Seeing that there was a mysterious being below her, Zhu Qiao made her decision.
”Hah! I'll be killed if I stay. I might as well rely on my godly luck! Farewell, motherfuckers!”
Zhu Qiao tore one of her random teleportation talismans right away.
WHOOSH
Her body disappeared from the cave, but Dian Wei's Qi was still latching inside her.
…
WHOOSH!
Zhu Qiao's body slowly manifested. She opened her eyes to check her surroundings while she bit her lips, nervous that she might have been sent to a strange planet or another continent.
However, as soon as she looked behind her, she found someone she knew.
Wu Guotai, who had been sitting on her bed in her room, stared at the intruder.
Zhu Qiao was sent to Wu Guotai's mansion on the Jiangdong White Tiger Sect's flying island!
”Oh? Back so soon. I thought you eloped with mas-I mean, Mao Miaomiao.”
Zhu Qiao cried.
”WHRYYYYYYYYYY!!?”
Ding
[Your LUCK points reflect your current LUCK.]
[Currently, you have low LUCK points. Expect bad fortunes or occasional accidents.]
”…”
The previous encounter with Huang Zhong robbed her LUCK. Now, she regretted tagging along with Miaomiao.
…
Time passed.
= Dragon Cave =
”Circulate all your element Qi from your brain to your heart this time.”
Miaomiao, still sitting cross-legged, concentrated on moving seven types of elemental Qi from his brain to his heart. The majority of them pushed themselves through the nerve and blood vessels. Only 10% of his Qi managed to climb his spinal cord down to his heart, ignoring the normal pathways or meridians.
It had been a week since the dragon began coaching Miaomiao with his weird circulation technique. Nero kept encouraging him to ignore human logic and treat his inner organs as hollow space.
Miaomiao's brain had strangely evolved. Somehow, it could contain a massive amount of Life Essence as if there was a subspace inside, absorbing energy like a dam.
The brain tissues, eyes, ears, skull, hair, nose, mouth, tongue, and skin could now store Life Essence and Element Qi as if they were pocket dantians. Each cell could carry 100 liters of Life Essence or 100 strands of basic element Qi. As for advanced element Qi, Miaomiao still needed to move them through his blood vessels as his cells couldn't contain them.
The training was difficult. Miaomiao lost count of how many times he accidentally shattered his eyeballs, created cancer cells, or ruptured several veins while he had been experimenting with how he could store energy within each organ. Many times, he had bleeding in his brain, falling to a comatose for a few minutes.
