Chapter 374 Polar Region 5
Chapter 374 Polar Region 5
The six-tailed white fox and Cheng Jiu exchanged a glance, then slowly looked away. Both of them knew in their hearts that there was no solution to this matter!
Yingyue may not be the last, but she is the very last one!
So no one dwelled on this topic.
"So you came here specifically to save the Holy Golden Cicada?"
Cheng Jiu looked at the fox cubs and spoke very gently. No one would feel disgusted by such a harmless bunch of cubs.
"Woo~"
Many years ago, the sacred Golden Cicada foresaw his impending death and borrowed lunar marrow from it.
However, it needs lunar marrow to sustain the lives of its cubs, and the importance of lunar marrow to the nine-tailed white fox is self-evident.
So even knowing that the Divine Golden Cicada desperately needed the Moon Essence, the Nine-Tailed White Fox still refused.
"So it knew its molting would fail?" Cheng Jiu asked, somewhat surprised.
"How could an old monster like it not be able to sense it? It's just trying to take a gamble!"
This is the most instinctive desire of living beings to survive, especially for old monsters like the Holy Golden Cicada. The longer it lives, the more it craves to live. Unable to understand or let go of its attachments, it will only choose to fight desperately.
Although the six-tailed white fox had lost the precognitive abilities of the nine-tailed white fox, it still knew what was going on the moment it saw the sacred golden cicada.
"You're indulging it?" Cheng Jiu was somewhat surprised; the clever fox in front of him didn't seem to know nothing.
"I knew it would fail!" The six-tailed white fox gave Cheng Jiu a deep look.
"Because of me?"
"Because of you! You are special! So special that even though you are human, the polar regions still favor you!"
Cheng Jiu didn't think he was anything special, but at this moment it seemed that all his misunderstandings had been answered.
Whether it was the self-destruction of the Holy Golden Cicada before his death, or the complete severing of the three tails of the Nine-Tailed White Fox.
Cheng Jiuyuan is not that special; he is merely the owner of this land, and the questioning of his two children is being posed through Cheng Jiuyuan's words.
Suddenly sensing something, Cheng Jiu took out the three fluffy tails from the barrier: "Then I forgive you!"
"Thank you!" The six-tailed white fox bowed down, kneeling before Cheng Jiu with an almost devout posture.
The three fluffy tails emitted a lustrous white light as they took flight and connected.
Nine tails that blot out the sky add a touch of mystery to this great fox.
This is what it deserves. If it hadn't brought the Moon Marrow in time to break through the Holy Golden Cicada's defenses, the situation would probably be even worse now.
A gentle, almost compassionate energy flowed through the earth, and the jade cicada slowly dissipated like golden sand.
This is the last act of mercy shown by a mother here to her most beloved child.
Cheng Jiu sensed it; the three giant beasts present watched all this silently and quietly, bidding a final farewell to the sacred Golden Cicada.
Born here, buried here, and giving back to this place.
For the creatures here, it was a perfect ending that brought tears to their eyes.
Wen Sishu stood quietly beside Cheng Jiu, watching the final ceremony unfold: "Junior Sister!"
"?"
"If I fail to ascend and am buried on the Xuan Tian Continent, that would be a good ending."
"Senior brother, please don't say such unlucky things!"
Looking at the somewhat sentimental Wen Sishu, Cheng Jiu didn't think her friend would fail to ascend.
"Okay, I was just saying!"
"Even talking about it won't work!"
Holding the golden egg in his arms, Cheng Jiu felt a sense of loss, a feeling he couldn't quite describe, only a bittersweet ache.
"You must take good care of it," the nine-tailed white fox said earnestly.
"I thought you would take care of it!" Cheng Jiu held the egg that had been entrusted to him and looked at the person who had entrusted it to him.
"I still have my own cubs!" The nine-tailed white fox lifted Fox Ball by the neck: "I can't watch over it every moment. The polar regions are no longer suitable for the Holy Golden Cicada to live in!"
The nine-tailed white fox seemed to have issued some kind of decree, banishing this orphaned creature.
Cheng Jiu could sense it, and so could the nine-tailed white fox.
The tragedy of the sacred Golden Cicada must never be repeated in the polar regions, absolutely not.
"Please, senior brother!"
Cheng Jiu placed the sacred golden cicada's egg in Wen Sishu's bosom.
It's not that the Sacred Golden Cicada is bad or not precious. As the first healing-type spirit beast officially certified by the Xuan Tian Continent, its upper limit is even at the level of a divine beast. It is undeniably precious and can be called the favorite of alchemists.
But she already has two contracted beasts, and there will be one more in the future. She really can't afford to have more contracts. Cheng Jiu is not suitable. On the contrary, Wen Sishu is more suitable for this little guy.
"Me, me?"
Wen Sishu hurriedly took the golden egg.
“You know I already have Rainbow Dash and Ink Jade.” Cheng Jiu nodded: “It’s more destined for you than for me!”
After all, if it weren't for the Wensi Book's accidental entry, the sacred Golden Cicada, which failed to molt, would never have survived until now, still inside the belly. This fate has already been sealed.
Wen Sishu felt the intimacy emanating from the golden egg beneath his palm and made up his mind: "Okay, junior sister, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it."
The nine-tailed white fox had no objection and chose Cheng Jiu, simply because it felt that following Cheng Jiu was better than following that other boy.
However, Wen Sishu is also an excellent place for the golden eggs.
A single egg of the sacred golden cicada is enough to make up for all the previous losses. This is the last one on the continent, and its preciousness goes without saying.
“Let’s go out. Rainbow Dash told me that Senior Sister has woken up.”
Cheng Jiu finished reading the Wen Si Shu and the Golden Egg Contract.
"Senior Sister is awake! Let's go back quickly!" Wen Sishu said with delight, after all, Yingyue's condition was really not good.
"Holy crap!"
The white behemoth lowered its body, waiting for Cheng Jiu to go up.
Wen Sishu was somewhat envious; the white behemoth treated him quite well, but forget about carrying it on its back.
"Moo?"
Do you want to ride on my back?
The bull-headed beast lowered its head slightly, its meaning quite clear.
Wen Sishu glanced at the furry white behemoth, then at the bull-headed behemoth with rather rough skin.
Walking is fine, walking is fine!
Wen Sishu refused, but the Minotaur wasn't angry. After all, they were comrades-in-arms who had fought together before. The Minotaur only agreed to give him a ride because it felt sorry for him.
As Wen Sishu said, going out is a one-way street, and it's very easy.
Who would have thought that stepping out of the narrow gorge would lead to a tall and magnificent Hall of Heritage?
This can't even be described as outrageous, this is teleportation!
"Junior Sister Jiu, shall we go in and take a look?"
"no need!"
Cheng Jiu looked at the mysterious and towering palace and shook her head. Her intuition told her that she didn't need it.
That's true. She already has the best inheritance from the Xuan Tian Continent. Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure.
All the rare and exotic flowers and herbs that previously grew here were taken away by the sacred Golden Cicada.
The herbs that are growing now are mostly common, low-quality medicinal herbs.
It's a bit of a pity, since judging from the layout, this place should have originally been an ancient medicinal herb garden.
Whether such an ancient herb garden is precious or not is secondary; the most important thing is that it may grow some herbs that have been extinct for many years, and those herbs are the priceless treasures.
Perhaps it can be bred again.
"Junior Sister!"
The beautiful woman in front of the railing turned slightly to the side, the fiery red whip standing out conspicuously against her thin body.
"Senior sister! That's great!"
Cheng Jiu and Wen Sishu spoke almost simultaneously, their voices filled with boundless joy.
The three siblings embraced tightly, comforting each other after such a difficult journey.
"Waaah~"
The little cloud beast, carrying a golden egg on its head, flipped up and down as if it had found a fun toy.
Wen Sishu froze, touching the spirit beast pouch on his body. When, when was the egg taken away by Xiao Yunying?
"Rainbow Dash!"
Cheng Jiu looked at the little cloud beast that was playing with the eggs like toys with a look of disapproval.
"Waaah!"
The little cloud beast, looking aggrieved, placed the egg in Wen Sishu's arms and argued with Cheng Jiu.
"Of course I believe Rainbow Dash!" Cheng Jiu patted Bai Mianmian's body to comfort her, then looked at Wen Sishu: "Senior brother, does the egg of the Sacred Golden Cicada not like staying in the spirit beast pouch? Rainbow Dash said it ran out on its own!"
Wen Sishu paused slightly as he touched the sacred golden cicada's egg, then looked at the big fox with a blank expression.
"Waaah~!"
The sacred golden cicada is a creature that is very close to heaven and earth.
Therefore, the Divine Golden Cicada prefers to stay outside rather than in a storage bag.
"Should we give this cloth to our junior brother so you can wrap it up?" Yingyue took out a piece of colorful cloth from her bosom, as beautiful as flowing clouds. It was the mutated brocade that Cheng Jiu had obtained from the Tai Xuan Sect.
Yingyue doesn't need this much and hasn't used it yet. It's perfect for Wen Sishu. Even someone as picky as the Holy Golden Cicada wouldn't dislike this kind of fabric.
Wen Sishu tied the egg to his body.
Yingyue had already been to the Inheritance Hall before Cheng Jiu and the other person came out. When Cheng Jiu and the other person came out, they happened to run into Yingyue coming out of the Inheritance Hall.
After being ravaged by the sacred Golden Cicada, there is nothing left to explore here.
This polar exploration was hardly a wonderful trip, and with the Moon Spirit Flower in hand, the three decided to end their ordeal.
"Holy crap!"
The white behemoth bent down slightly, as if to send the little humans off on their final journey, and the three climbed onto its back.
Wen Sishu was so moved he almost cried; he never expected he would actually be able to sit there.
"Moo~"
The most miserable one present was the Minotaur. Its home was destroyed, its food was gone, it received compensation, and it came here excitedly, only to almost die. It barely escaped, but its cultivation was also damaged.
How can one word describe such bad luck?
The two giant beasts rode side by side, the wind and snow sweeping past their eyes, and the surrounding scenery gradually made Cheng Jiu feel a sense of familiarity.
Could this be the former territory of the Minotaur?
The all-consuming Weak Water dissipated, leaving behind the most precious essence of the polar region, with blue crystals scattered everywhere like countless stars.
The large ones are as big as a bathtub, while the small ones are no bigger than the palm of your hand.
Scattered like stars everywhere.
This is... Weak Water Essence Crystal?
A crystal with extremely demanding formation conditions, the purest crystal formed after weak water devours everything. It exists for a very short time and is extremely fragile, lasting less than an hour from its existence to its dissipation.
It is known as the tears of the Weak Water.
It is a mineral that exists only in legends; very few have seen it, and even fewer have obtained it!
After all, no one would dare to dive into the water to retrieve this kind of ore.
Being able to witness it is already a blessing!
But now it's everywhere!
If it weren't for the unique and harsh conditions of the polar regions, these easily vanished spirits probably wouldn't have been able to survive.
This ore has only one function: it can enhance one's cultivation level without any side effects!
This is outrageous, isn't it? Little do people know that many cultivators in the world are just one step away from breaking through, and this Weak Water Essence Crystal is the key that can help them unlock the bottleneck without any side effects.
If you were to sell this!
Forget it, let's get started!
This area is the territory of that bull-headed beast!
If you're not quick, you probably won't be able to compete with the owner of this territory.
Hungry and devastated, the bull-headed beast pounced on its prey like a ravenous tiger, swiftly sweeping away everything in its path.
The white behemoth moved quickly but with remarkable elegance. Despite the efforts of Cheng Jiu and his companions, the pieces were nothing more than insignificant scraps to the two behemoths.
The voracious bull-headed beast chose to turn a blind eye.
Gnawing, gnawing, gnawing.
Wen Sishu and Yingyue's skin visibly regained its rosy hue, and their previous losses were completely made up for after absorbing these Weak Water Essence Crystals.
Not to mention the white behemoth and the minotaur, which occupy the largest share of the behemoths and have clearly gained a lot of benefits.
The bull-headed beast lay lazily in its territory, its eyes half-closed, clearly looking comfortable and ready to sleep.
Cheng Jiu was the only one present who had come into close contact with the Minotaur. Looking at the lazy, enormous creature, he suddenly felt a little envious.
She also longed for a life of great power, where she could eat her fill, sleep soundly, and sleep soundly again!
Of course, the most crucial factor is strength!
With the white behemoth as their mode of transport, leaving the polar regions was a much easier and more pleasant journey. No beast dared to offend this powerful polar overlord, not even the demonic beasts!
The inherent dangers of the polar regions are of no concern to this darling of the polar regions.
"Holy crap!"
"Okay, that's enough. We'll walk the rest of the way ourselves!"
Cheng Jiu responded earnestly, having already arrived at the outer suburbs of the polar region where the polar regions intersect with Dingming City.
The white behemoth reluctantly nuzzled Cheng Jiu. The time the two had spent together wasn't much, but some destinies can't be determined by time.
Just as the white behemoth was reluctant to part with Cheng Jiu, Cheng Jiu was also reluctant to part with this big guy who had saved her from danger time and time again and had always stood by her side.
Even after seeing you off for a thousand miles, we must eventually part ways!
The white behemoth belongs to the polar regions.
Cheng Jiu and it both knew this.
Neither the man nor the beast tried to stop him. Cheng Jiu took a small storage bag and hung it around the white giant beast's neck. Inside were all the remaining spirit beast food and spirit beast pills that Cheng Jiu had.
Goodbye, big guys!
"Holy crap!"
"goodbye!"
Cheng Jiu waved his hand forcefully, and the wind and snow blew in. He turned around and ran towards Senior Sister Yingyue and Wen Sishu who were waiting.
The three walked side by side toward Dingming City. After this parting, they didn't know when they would see each other again!
Braving the wind and snow, the white behemoth stared fixedly at Cheng Jiu until the three humans walked further and further away.
It was a dazzling aurora that suddenly appeared in the ancient polar regions.
"Waaah~!"
The nine-tailed white fox appeared behind the white behemoth at some unknown time.
Don't worry, rest assured! I once divined their future, and it's a bright and promising road ahead!
"Holy crap!"
Two snow-white behemoths disappeared into the pale depths amidst an ancient dialogue.
