165 Chapter 165: The Immortal Tomb Opens (1/2)
”They are here!” A voice suddenly resounded as a group of individuals hurried to where Rian and Dylan was. They were, of course, the Ford Protection, the few remaining sect heads of the aliiance and Mary who were previously running away.
When they finally exited the Dreamy Forest, the Ford Protection Squad could not help but feel ashamed and guilty for what they were doing. They were the Ford Protection Squad, formed to protect Dylan Ford but they were instead being protected by the person they were supposed to protect. Thus, they decided to turn back which was greatly supported by Mary.
Contrary to the squad's thoughts, the sect heads wanted to use this chance to get out of their detention and leave Dylan and Rian who greatly harmed them to die on the hands of the Black Arachnids. However, with theEnergy Sealing Handcuffs on, they could not do anything but abide their orders unless they were tired of living.
On their way back, they sensed ten insanely strong energies and an even stronger energy after! Next, they heard one deafening explosion and two loud roars which made them move double time. But, when they saw a blinding light that pierced through the dark Dreamy Forest like a shooting star, they were shocked by the strength it possessed.
Finally, after running as fast as they could, they were able to reach the site of battle.
”Oh no, Rian! Sir Dylan! What happened?” Mary quickly moved to their side and checked their conditions.
However, what she saw made her ghastly pale, both of them had very severe injuries. Rian had six blood holes with barely any spirit energy left while Dylan's chest wounds opened up and even worsened because of the depletion of his spirit energy. There was already a small puddle of blood that formed underneath them. At this rate, they could really die!
”What happened here?” On the other hand, the others surveyed their surroundings and they were shocked by what they have seen.
There were two tens of meter wide craters which leveled two different drections of the forest. In between them, the small gap between them no longer had any Illusion Isolating Trees which blocked their views as they could see the grass lands already!
The trees and greeneries surrounding these scene were all heavily damaged or bent backwards. It was evident that there was a catastrophic fight which happened here. But the most shocking thing is that the ten powerhouses they were fearing to fight, disappeared the moment the light was unleashed. This can only mean that the ten of them were killed by the light.
This amazed yet confused all of them. Was this really caused by a demon dog and a Spirit Gathering Realm human alone? What sort of attack was that needle of light to obliderate such powerful beings? Though they could somewhat believe that Rian could do this, but Dylan? Was that even plausible?
While they were thinking of such thoughts, Mary was focusing on another matter.
”I have to do what I can.” Mary immediately retrived some of her first aid kits. But as soon as Mary was going to do something, she sensed a faint connection between Dylan and Rian. They seemed to be exchaning life forces which greatly enhanced their recovery. It was like this connection is what was keeping them alive! Along the connection, there was a faint misty purple energy that was providing them with immense energy.
This connection was none other than the life connection that Dylan and Rian had.The misty purple energy was actually immortal energy that came from the Cosmic God Mansion inside Dylan's mind. It was the excess immortal energy that scarcely flowed out of the mansion and into Dylan's mindscape.
The reason why Dylan could not see or even sense the immortal energy yet was because his cultvation was far too shallow but once he is strong enough, he would finally be able to sense this energy.
Normally, this immortal energy would be an independent entity that Dylan could not harness even if he was in the brink of death unless his cultivation is high enough. But the variable called Rian made the absorption of this energy possible.
Even when unconcious, Rian's cells are actively hoarding energy to support his injury. But, the spirit energy around them was far too weak to support the severity of his injuries even with his natural recovery speed intact. Thus, his cells tried to attract higher energies which lead the minute amount of immortal energy in Dylan's mindscape to be absorbed.
Although the quantity was feeble, but the quality of a strand would far surpass a Mortal Severing Stone which is worth a thousand Origin Stones! With this amount of energy, their internal injuries were rapidly being healed!
”How mystical... but how is this possible?” Mary was dumbfounded by witnessing such a strange occurrence. But, she quickly snapped out of it.
”With this recovery speed, they could recover on their own so I would just have to cover their injuries.” With a plan in mind, she then asked one of the members of the FPS to help her cover their wounds.
After covering their wounds, Mary did not become negligent. She closely monitored these two's condition. The FPS also offered Tier 3 and 4 healing pills which also contributed on the duo's recuperation. Waiting for their conditions to stabilize, the FPS took the opportunity to recover their energy. They had one person to keep watch out for monsters and the sect heads.
An hour later...
The duo had make a shocking recovery. Dylan's wounds has been healed to at least 50 percent while Rian's six holes did not bleed anymore and was visibly clotting. The Ford Protection Squad had also fully recovered from their injuries and nearly filled their energy reserves.
”I suggest that we now leave this forest. There might even be more spirit beasts that are just hiding around the corner. We must remain vigilant as we go back.” The leader of the Ford Protection Squad said as he lead the way.
”Yes!” The others followed behind him as well.
