Chapter 247 - Flash Of White Light
Lei Yu didn’t bother caring about the unwillingness seen the Dragon-Snake’s eyes. “Originally, nothing would have happened, you would take the Gold Core and I would leave. We can only blame everything on your greed!”
As Lei Yu’s voice ended, the Dragon-Snake made one last roar into the air. Its huge body then stopped supporting the dragon head before the body started floating away.
Lei Yu grabbed onto the Dragon-Snake’s thick tail before slowly flying to the nearest planet he could find.
People often said that a snake’s body was filled with treasures so of course; Lei Yu wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass by.
Lei Yu was able to successfully kill the Dragon-Snake today wasn’t because his strength had improved these past two days. One can only say that he was lucky. With the Manor Lord’s red ribbon; the skillful control of the Sky Devouring Sword in order to avoid being eaten by the Dragon-Snake; and able to remember and accurately find the Dragon-Snake’s weak spot, this all contributed to his victory. If the Dragon-Snake was different to a typical snake and its weak spot wasn’t at that particular place, then Lei Yu would currently be in a world of suffering.
Although his internal energy had been almost used up, the help of the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost allowed him to recover at a pretty quick pace. Lei Yu felt very fortunate to somehow get this great treasure.
The closest planet to Lei Yu was very special. It had mountains and water, including many biological life forms. Lei Yu simply couldn’t believe such a peaceful planet would exist in the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea.
Lei Yu wasn’t going to let this peaceful scene trick him, so he carefully dragged the 30 - 50 meter long Dragon-Snake next to a rather wide river. He then released his spirit perception ability to explore the area. He didn’t find anything abnormal except for some tiny creatures or animal without much attack powers. Perhaps there’s a strong existence here, but based on Lei Yu’s current strength, he can barely feel the existence of people at the early Nascent Soul stage. He was unable to perceive anyone stronger than that.
Lei Yu figured he’ll deal with it when it comes. He then released a portion of his spirit perception to prevent any accidents occurring before sitting down cross legged and then quickly attempting to restore his depleted internal energy.
After breathing in and out a few times, Lei Yu felt rather refreshed. The energy the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost was releasing made Lei Yu extremely comfortable and the spiritual energy that had been purified was gradually absorbed by Lei Yu.
This time, Lei Yu didn’t suffer any injuries yet the green energy ran around gobbling up a portion of the purified spiritual energy that he was absorbing. This was pissing Lei Yu off quite a bit.
“It really picks the worst times! I don’t even have enough for myself and yet you decide to come along for a ride?!” He was thinking this but Lei Yu couldn’t do without it. Otherwise, who knows how many times he would have died already.
Lei Yu realized that today the green energy seemed to be somewhat different than usual, but he couldn’t put a finger on exactly what. It was at this time that the green energy brightly flashed. But it was only for a moment before it returned to its previous appearance as if nothing had ever happened.
This changed made Lei Yu a bit surprised. He controlled his internal energy and carefully approached the green energy, hoping to get close and observe what was going on. But the moment Lei Yu’s internal energy got close; the green energy gave up eating the spiritual energy and quickly ran back towards the heart meridian as if it was in shock. “What’s going on with this green energy? Why did it suddenly give off a flash of light yet restored it’s calmness?” Lei Yu once again controlled his internal energy to approach his heart meridian. He then felt there was some defensive setup there as his internal energy could not flow through normally. This was completely different from before. In the past, the green energy would lead his internal energy to circulate through other meridians, including the heat meridian. Whenever Lei Yu used too much force to break through a meridian and caused it to fracture, the green energy would rush up and start repairing it. But why would it now be so afraid of him? What caused this to happen? This was something Lei Yu just couldn’t figure out.
One thing for certain was that Lei Yu could clearly feel that the power of the green energy seemed to be a bit stronger than before, but just didn’t have that explosive power it had back then. If it was back then, Lei Yu’s internal energy would not be able to get so close to his heart meridian unless it was being led there.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, he might as well stop thinking about it. Having the green energy restore its power was undeniably a good thing. Perhaps it was acting shy because it hadn’t fully recovered yet.
