Chapter 371 Polar Region 2
Chapter 371 Polar Region 2
The explosion nearly lit up the entire sky, and the polar regions were shaken three times by the enormous impact.
Cheng Jiu didn't dare to turn around; even his back felt like it was being burned by the white light.
The enormous impact was completely neutralized by the white behemoth, and Cheng Jiu was not seriously injured, though cold sweat still dripped from his forehead.
That's incredibly bold!
Cheng Jiu felt like she was walking on a narrow rope with every move she made. Even now, when she thinks back, she can't remember what she did back then.
The fate of the demon captured by Cheng Jiu was unknown, and it was being dragged behind by the white behemoth.
Although it was only a short time, the white behemoth absolutely refused to let that ugly thing get close to it.
It only allowed Cheng Jiu and her senior sister to stay on its back. As for the demon, Cheng Jiu could only be tied up with a rope before the white behemoth could barely accept it.
Fortunately, the white behemoth ran fast. Although the demon was severely impacted and bleeding from its seven orifices, it did not die, and its value was preserved.
Cheng Jiu had encountered demons many times, but he was always impatient with dealing with them and would usually entrust the matter to the sects. The five major sects handled these matters very cleanly.
Aside from Cheng Jiu, I've never heard of any other sect encountering demons so frequently.
Cheng Jiu felt that he was facing off against the demons, and it was likely either them or the demons would perish.
The sect, including her master, always gave her the feeling that a junior disciple like her was not yet old enough to know about the demon race.
After all, ever since they encountered the demons, none of them had ever been weaker than the Dao Integration Realm. There were Mahayana cultivators everywhere, and those below that level were worse than dogs.
Cheng Jiu had been to other worlds, so of course he wouldn't believe that the Demon Race was a product of the Xuan Tian Continent.
Appearing so frequently in unrelated worlds, only two words came to Cheng Jiu's mind: invasion!
Considering that there had been no related news for a long time before, but recently it has been appearing frequently, Cheng Jiu already had a guess in his mind.
Collusion!
traitor!
A traitor who betrayed the world!
"Waaah!"
A figure like a snow mountain spirit appeared in the cold wind.
Cheng Jiu, including the white behemoth, was not surprised at all.
Her enchanting purple eyes were hazy and beautiful, yet possessed a sharpness unique to wild beasts, staring directly at Cheng Jiu's storage ring.
Cheng Jiu's body tensed slightly as he gripped the Heavenly Wood Sword, ready to unleash his attack, the Blazing Flame Grass causing his body to feel slightly hot.
"I need the Shadow Tree Fruit!"
The ethereal and dreamlike voice echoed in Cheng Jiu's mind, making him even more vigilant.
The white behemoth also made an attack stance the instant the nine-tailed white fox appeared.
"I can save your senior sister!"
"No need!" Cheng Jiu refused decisively. She no longer trusted it. This old fox, Cheng Jiu always felt, had seen through many things: "Our Guiyuan Sect has plenty of means and strength."
Losing one's cultivation is indeed a troublesome matter, and rebuilding one's dantian is also very difficult.
But don't forget that they are disciples of the Guiyuan Sect, and Yingyue is even Yao Lao's disciple. For a behemoth that controls one-fifth of the cultivation world, it's not like there's no way to deal with them.
Most importantly, a voice in Cheng Jiu's heart whispered that she would regret it if she agreed to the white fox's request so easily!
This was something her senior sister risked her life to obtain, and it absolutely cannot be sold cheaply. That old fox is very cunning!
"It's you! Lord of the Moon Source, you have broken your promise. Don't forget the covenant you made with my lord!"
The demon's body seemed unusually strong. He had been half-dead before, but now his consciousness had slightly returned. When he saw the white fox, his expression suddenly changed, and he reacted with an extremely sharp voice.
"You're all in cahoots! You've actually colluded with the demons!" Cheng Jiu shouted.
Although she didn't know how serious the crime of colluding with demons was, her experiences along the way told her it was extremely serious.
This sound was like a powerful declaration; the wind and snow stopped, the spiritual energy stagnated, and something seemed to flow rapidly away from the nine-tailed white fox!
Previously, the white behemoth had only assumed an attacking stance, but now it was rubbing its fists together, as if its sharp claws would strike at any moment!
"Waaah~!"
The nine-tailed white fox's voice was no longer clear and bright; it was now filled with an urgent attempt to explain.
I didn't. I have never colluded with the demons, nor have I ever broken the contract. She came to me on her own.
I only need the Shadow Tree Fruit to save my child!
The nine-tailed white fox exuded an indescribable sorrow as she stared at Cheng Jiu's ring. That grief seemed to touch the softest part of one's heart, making one involuntarily want to lend a helping hand.
But Cheng Jiu didn't, because she had a senior sister in her arms who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, only able to stay alive with the help of pills.
What does the white fox's child have to do with her? She feels sorry for the white fox's child, but does the white fox feel sorry for her senior sister?
Does the fruit of the Shadow Tree need blood to cultivate?
Upon thinking this, Cheng Jiuxin hardened her heart.
"Woo~"
You have a senior brother in the polar region, don't you?
Cheng Jiu's expression changed, and she stared fiercely at the large white fox in front of her. She definitely wouldn't have dared to do that before; she couldn't beat it. Being from the heart is a very beautiful virtue.
But now, with a giant beast on her, if she can't beat it, can't she at least run away? Once she gets out, she'll definitely summon her master to level this wretched land!
Cheng Jiu accepted the tattered armor from before, but the repeated scheming and even luring her senior sister into the trap made her seem like she was made of dough.
She was in danger, and even if she died, she accepted it. It was just bad luck; trials are never smooth sailing.
But using her to implicate those closest to her has truly touched a nerve. Regardless of the thousand schemes and myriad sufferings the person in front of her may have, Cheng Jiu is genuinely enraged.
They actually stood right in front of her, which probably meant they looked down on her and thought she was the type to be easily manipulated!
Keep dreaming! She's a sword cultivator!
"Woo~"
The white fox was still muttering to itself, completely oblivious to Cheng Jiu's expression, or perhaps it simply didn't care.
If you want your senior brother to be safe, hand over the Shadow Tree Fruit.
"Ha!" Cheng Jiu chuckled softly, her breathing rapid. Sometimes she really wanted to end it all, but Senior Brother Wen, Cheng Jiu couldn't disregard his life and death for a momentary impulse.
Cheng Jiu is no longer a reckless child. She has to be responsible for her senior brothers and sisters. The Shadow Tree Fruit is very precious, but Senior Brother Wen is even more precious.
"Holy crap!"
Don't listen to it! I know where your senior brother is.
Another voice forcefully entered the sea of consciousness, squeezing out the other voice.
Cheng Jiu, whose emotions were fluctuating, paused slightly: "Is it you?"
"it's me!"
The voice in her mind was very light and cheerful, which contrasted sharply with the huge thing beneath her.
"But my senior brother!"
"Don't worry, that place is right where Ox-Head is. Ox-Head won't just watch someone kill someone easily!"
Minotaur, Cheng Jiu thought of the giant minotaur she had seen. She never expected that the place the white beast was pointing to would coincide with where Senior Brother Wen was. Was it an accident or a coincidence?
Cheng Jiu looked cautiously at the nine-tailed white fox opposite him, and finally chose to trust the white behemoth.
Unless absolutely necessary, don't believe the fox spirit's words. The nine-tailed white fox has already lost all credibility with Cheng Jiu.
Cheng Jiu took out the Shadow Tree Fruit, the fruit that caused all the sins, the rampant tree tumors, which the clan chief said were the result of unintentional intrusion by dead cultivators over the years.
An ominous object!
It was this ominous object that attracted the attention of the demons, and the nine-tailed white foxes fought over it.
Under the burning gaze of the nine-tailed white fox, Cheng Jiu's eyes remained resolute!
"Waaah~!"
Do not!
The mournful cries of beasts echoed throughout the entire polar region, reaching even the distant overlords!
I don't understand why that old fox is so sad.
The white fox tried to stop her quickly, but Cheng Jiu was even faster.
Cheng Jiu pressed the vibrant, heart-shaped Shadow Tree Fruit heavily against Senior Sister Yingyue's heart.
She wanted to return the item to its rightful owner.
The demons tied behind were dumbfounded. Could someone tell them that the Shadow Tree Fruit was actually used like this?
With such enormous energy, accumulated over countless lifetimes, aren't you afraid it will burst your body?
This is a massive energy source that can sustain its operation.
The demons' astonishment, the nine-tailed white fox's mournful cry, the Shadow Tree Fruit entering her body, and Senior Sister Yingyue's abnormal reaction—Cheng Jiu finally realized something was wrong.
But it was too late. The moment the Shadow Tree Fruit touched her senior sister's body, it instantly merged into her and disappeared.
The demon was also dumbfounded. What did he see? The Shadow Tree Fruit had actually entered a human's body!
Isn't it a potential energy source? What exactly do you mean by that?
The moment Yingyue absorbed it, the snow-white fur of the nine-tailed white fox seemed to dim.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The nine-tailed white fox's most prized nine tails were severed at the root, leaving blood staining the icy plains.
The six-tailed white fox, utterly distraught, paid no heed to the situation: "Woo~!"
In the end, I insisted! It was me...
"Holy crap!"
The white behemoth cautiously observed the six-tailed white fox, its vigilance even greater than before. No one present knew better than the native creature about the importance of the nine tails to the white fox.
Now that it has lost three tails, a thousand years of cultivation has been destroyed in an instant. The white behemoth is afraid that it will suddenly go berserk, but it is not afraid. Before, even nine tails were no match for it, let alone now that it only has six tails left.
But with the little human and her critically injured, dying human on its back, the white behemoth couldn't help but worry, fearing it would take its anger out on the little human and attack.
The purple eyes no longer evoked a sense of holiness in Cheng Jiu; instead, they possessed a bewitching allure unique to demons, making her even more beautiful, but no longer capable of stirring Cheng Jiu's heart.
It seems that losing three tails has been a great blow to this six-tailed white fox.
Cheng Jiu didn't know what had happened. Suddenly, he lost three tails. Or rather, it wasn't sudden. After Cheng Jiu fed the Shadow Tree Fruit to Senior Sister Yingyue, the six-tailed white fox became like this.
What is the connection between the Shadow Tree Fruit and the Six-Tailed White Fox?
Soon, the ugly thing that Cheng Jiu brought proved it wasn't entirely useless, explaining its reasoning: "You still say you didn't break the contract? You've been backfired on! The Holy Lord will absolutely not let you off the hook, absolutely not!"
A mouthful of ice from the extreme cold locked him firmly inside.
The ice, frozen into human figures, shattered into pieces on the ground, falling in fragments. Not a single blood-stained ice shard could be found; they vanished with a gust of wind.
Cheng Jiu stared intently at the six-tailed white fox in front of him. Was it killing a demon to silence them right in front of them?
That old fox is definitely no good beast!
However, Cheng Jiu was powerless to stop it. Although the six-tailed white fox's tail was broken, its strength was not diminished in the slightest.
The white behemoth had the ability to stop it, but Cheng Jiu could sense that the white behemoth would absolutely not act on behalf of the demons.
So, after going through twists and turns and narrowly escaping capture, the demon had not yet been fully utilized before he perished in the polar regions, dying a meaningless death.
What Cheng Jiu and the white behemoth feared did not happen.
"Waaah~!"
I'm very sorry, please consider this my apology!
The six-tailed white fox nudged its three fallen tails and turned away without a second thought.
"Woo~"
The Nine-Tailed Temple is no longer open!
With that, the six-tailed white fox, amidst the wind and snow, prepared to leave.
"Holy crap!"
Before leaving, the white behemoth finally summoned the six-tailed white fox, and the two beasts had a close conversation.
The six-tailed white fox bit the white behemoth's ear hard until it drew blood before leaving in a huff.
The two communicated without using telepathy, so Cheng Jiu couldn't understand them.
However, it was clear that although the six-tailed white fox was filled with grief and indignation when it left, it also showed obvious satisfaction.
"Xiao Ju, do you have a way to help?"
"Holy crap!"
(?﹏?)
Cheng Jiu understood. There was a way. No wonder the six-tailed white fox was so indignant when it left. What was it after? It colluded with the demons, lost three tails, and paid such a high price, only to end up with nothing.
Just when it was at its most desperate, a glimmer of hope appeared, showing it that there was a way without paying such a price!
If Cheng Jiu were to experience these things, just thinking about it wouldn't be enough; he'd be spitting blood!
Cheng Jiu looked at the white behemoth's ears, which were still bleeding.
This bite.
It's hard to say whether it's unfair or not.
Cheng Jiu hesitated as he looked at the three huge, furry tails that had fallen to the ground.
There shouldn't be any problem, right?
Then he was picked up by the white behemoth and thrown onto its back.
Very good, the meaning is obvious, accept it.
This is a precious treasure!
The white behemoth didn't need it, but Cheng Jiu could, so it gave its share to Cheng Jiu as well.
The immense energy did not cause Yingyue to have a rejection reaction. At first, it might have been very intense, but afterward, she returned to the deep pool, her cultivation was restored, her injured meridians were healed, and her injuries were mostly recovered.
Cheng Jiu felt that the benefits brought by the Shadow Tree Fruit were far more than that.
Although I don't know why this is happening, it's a good thing, that's all that matters!
Yingyue was still asleep, but Cheng Jiu could sense that his senior sister's mind was quite active.
Your body may not be used to it yet, but you should wake up soon!
Although the six-tailed white fox did not specify the location, the magic it bestowed upon Cheng Jiu did not disappear, and Cheng Jiu could still see those faint links.
It was even clearer because of the fox tail on the side.
Brother Wen's condition looks very good, even too good!
Seeing this palace forged from ice and snow, with its forests, flowers, grasses, ruins, heritage sites, and caves everywhere, it is a scene of idyllic beauty.
Cheng Jiu couldn't help but express her opinion!
How lucky I am!
The white behemoth is described as follows: A mythical beast lives here, and wherever it resides, rare and precious treasures gather, blessings abound, and harmony and peace prevail.
"Junior Sister Xiao Jiu!" Cheng Jiu saw a handsome young man in a red robe waving at him. Beside him, even the ferocious bull-headed beast seemed much gentler.
