Chapter 791: Depths of the Shattered Ruins
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Mo Wuji took out Wu Li’s storage ring and other than the large quantity of green crystals, there was also a peak grade escape talisman.
Even though Mo Wuji was not proficient in Talisman Dao, there was dao spirituality circulating on the surface of the talisman which made Mo Wuji certain that this was at least a Grade 9 immortal escape talisman.
Mo Wuji spat out some fresh blood and the escape talisman exploded into a faint and greyish radiance which swept Mo Wuji off his feet before disappearing without a trace.
In the next instance, Mo Wuji felt dizzy and this was when he realised that there was a high possibility that the escape talisman which he ignited had surpassed Grade 9. Otherwise, he shouldn’t have felt dizzy even if he was injured severely.
Mo Wuji forced himself to maintain his consciousness because he knew that once he passed out when the talisman completed its task, he would be in grave danger. This was the Shattered Ruins and not some peaceful place.
After an unknown period of time, Mo Wuji felt trembles in his legs before hearing cracks from his own bones. Just as his brain was starting to lack oxygen, Mo Wuji sent himself into the Undying World even before he passed out.
Moments later, a few metres long beaver stepped down from the void as it entered right into a pond which was near the Undying World.
…
Shuai Guo, who was already a immortal beast in the pinnacle of Class 6, saw how Mo Wuji fell into the Undying World with a body filled with injuries as he muttered to himself helplessly, ”My lord is always on the verge of death every time he enters the Undying World. Fortunately, a smart and capable Shuai Guo is around because otherwise, who knows how many times my lord would have perish? Ai, I’m always the one doing so much and I’m also always the one getting scolded.”
The well experienced Shuai Guo hurried to shift Mo Wuji under the Breath of Hongmeng.
Under normal circumstances, Shuai Guo was well aware that under the Breath of Hongmeng, Mo Wuji would always recover well no matter the severity of injuries.
However, Shuai Guo started to feel like something was amiss a few days later. Even though the other parts of the Mo Wuji’s body were recovering well, his chest was constantly bleeding as a certain grey energy of defeat was seeping out continually.
Moreover, this was Shuai Guo’s first time sensing that its lord was getting weaker with his life force dissipating.
Shuai Guo was after all an immortal beast which was about to advance to become Class 7 so it would be a complete waste of resources if Shuai Guo couldn’t tell that Mo Wuji was in trouble.
Shuai Guo dashed over to Mo Wuji and started permeating through Mo Wuji’s wounds using its spiritual will.
A three inches long grey nail was caught by Shuai Guo as it was the one which was emitting the greyish energy of defeat.
It seemed like this nail was the cause of it. Without hesitation, Shuai Guo opened its mouth and the grey deathly energy was swept away by it.
In the very next moment, Shuai Guo was dumbfounded because once he managed to sweep away the grey energy, the nail started exuding new grey energy of defeat.
This item was certainly not simple and as Shuai Guo bite onto this grey nail in an attempt to pull it out, it was to no avail regardless of how hard it tried to pull. It could even bite onto the nail and drag Mo Wuji away because the nail was deeply embedded into Mo Wuji’s bones.
*Spat out in contempt* ”I can’t believe there is still something which I, Shuai Guo, couldn’t handle. I shall eat…” Shuai Guo grunted as it opened its mouth to chew on the tailend of the nail.
A faint scar started appearing on the wooden nail and Shuai Guo was not in the least discouraged. It didn’t believe that it couldn’t bite off a nail because in its memory, its ancestor could even eat Xiantian treasures. It, Shuai Guo, was a descendant of the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito which its lord mentioned to be one of the five greatest and most vicious bugs.
Exerting all its force, Shuai Guo opened its mouth to bite onto that wooden nail again and under faint circulation of the dao spirituality, the corner of the wooden nail was instantly bit off by Shuai Guo.
Once the corner of the nail was bitten off, the deathly energy of defeat surrounding them started to weaken. Within one absorption, Shuai Guo swept away the deathly energy in the air before biting on the nail again.
That wooden nail was like a jelly bean as half of it was bitten off by Shuai Guo. The remaining part of the nail was no longer able to attach itself on Mo Wuji’s bones so Shuai Guo pulled it out directly before swallowing it.
The moment the wooden nail was removed, Mo Wuji’s injuries started to recover rapidly with the aid of the Breath of Hongmeng. At this moment, even without the Breath of Hongmeng, Mo Wuji would still be able to recover well with his vitality channel alone.
”Brr!” Before Shuai Guo could check on the condition of Mo Wuji, it started hearing rumbles coming from its own stomach.
Immense pain was felt next and Shuai Guo couldn’t help but to roll around the ground in pain. Very soon, its stomach started expanding and Shuai Guo fell while facing up. It watched its expanding stomach and grunted, ”No good, my stomach is about to explode. This item is really too incredible.”
…
When Mo Wuji woke up, Shuai Guo’s stomach had already been deflated. Presently, Shuai Guo’s dao spirituality was starting to circle around it and evidently, it had entered a deep-seated sleep.
