The heroine of Black Lotus just wants to ascend

Ling Qing was very happy to get the fan he wanted. Now when he heard Ru Xiyao asking, he nodded lightly and said, "It's quite worth it."

"Next time if you want something, can you shout a little more?"

Ru Xiyao: What you think of is beautiful, wait until you turn into a human form.

After saying this, Ru Xiyao looked at the many dead fish floating on the river.

"I remember you said that the fangs of this fish can be used to refine weapons, right?"

Ling Qing: Yes!

Ru Xiyao: Then don’t be idle and pull out the tooth.

Hearing this, Ling Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, pulling out teeth?

Before Ling Qing could recover, Ru Xiyao waved her hand, and some of the dead fish on the lake were shaken to the shore.

Ru Xiyao: It’s a bit short, but it’s okay. Let’s practice with this part first.

Ling Qing: This...are you planning to pull out all the teeth of the dead fish on the lake?

Ru Xiyao: "What else?"

"Kill them all. These are considered trophies. It would be a pity not to collect them."

Looking at the dead fish on the ground, Ling Qing felt like crying. He shouldn't have said anything at that time. It would be better now. He had to pull out so many teeth and his claws would have to be worn bare.

Seeing that Ru Xiyao had put the demon boy aside, squatted down, and collected a set of fangs from the fairy fish, Ling Qing had no choice but to lower his head to help.

The two of them worked together and in just half a day, they pulled out all the fangs of all the dead fish on the lake.

After cleaning all the extracted fangs and putting them into the phoenix-patterned celestial bracelet, Ru Xiyao and Ling Qing found a clean place to sit down.

Looking at the mountains of dead fish piled up on the shore in front of him, Ling Qing lowered his head and looked at his front paws, and said incredulously: I never thought that my claws would be used to pull out the teeth of dead fishes.

Ru Xiyao: "Didn't you help me dig out spiritual stones before?"

"Is there any difference between pulling out fish teeth and digging out spiritual stones? We both use claws."

Ling Qi: "Of course!"

"At least those spiritual stones I picked out are useful to me, but what about these fish teeth?"

Ru Xiyao: Just get used to it. This kind of thing may happen a lot in the future.

Ling Qing thought that Ru Xiyao would say something to comfort him, but he didn't expect that she would let him get used to it? And she also said that this kind of thing would happen more often in the future?

What is this? Let him be mentally prepared?

Seeing Ling Qing's drooped eyelids and a grimace on his face, Ru Xiyao couldn't help but find it a little funny. She patted his head lightly and said, "Okay, do you want to eat the spiritual fruit?"

"Two for you."

Ling Qing: Eat.

Ru Xiyao: Then make it smaller, otherwise you won’t be able to taste it.

Ling Qing: Okay.

After Ling Qing responded, he shrank his body to a suitable size, and then wrapped it around Ru Xiyao's wrist as usual.

Seeing him looking forward to it, Ru Xiyao couldn't help but chuckle.

Then she took out three spiritual fruits from the phoenix-patterned celestial bracelet and gave two to Ling Qing. She put the remaining one to her mouth and started to eat it.

After resting for a while, it was enough. Ru Xiyao picked up the demon boy who was sealed by spiritual power on the ground, and continued walking forward while eating the spiritual fruit.

After a while,

Ling Qing threw away the remaining fruit core, looked at the unusually quiet forest around him, and said with some confusion: How strange!

Ru Xiyao: What’s so strange?

Ling Qing: "You see, once you step out of the range of those things, you will immediately enter the territory of the next thing."

"We've been walking for a while, why is it so quiet?"

"Isn't this unreasonable?"

Ling Qing looked around and couldn't understand this.

Seeing his appearance, Ru Xiyao could not help but flash a smile in her eyes, and said soothingly: Don't worry, what is supposed to come will come, just wait and see.

Ling Qing: "Did you discover something?"

"Even when you met the demon boy, you found something and didn't even tell me."

Ru Xiyao: Well, you wouldn’t believe me if I said I didn’t find anything, right?

Hearing Ru Xiyao's tone, Ling Qing knew that she must have discovered something. He raised his head and glared at her and said: Look, you still found something, tell me quickly.

Ru Xiyao: In fact, it’s just some speculation.

After Ru Xiyao scanned the unusually quiet forest, she still found nothing, so she said to Ling Qing: "Ever since I left the territory of the Immortal Crossing Fish and came here, I always felt like I was being watched by something."

"But I couldn't find it for a long time, so I carefully observed the movement around me."

"From this observation, I found that the trees in this area are planted in a very special position, and they vaguely form the prototype of a magic circle."

"And haven't you noticed that the aura here is much stronger than anywhere before?"

After hearing Ru Xiyao's words, Ling Qing couldn't help but look at the trees around him. He also knew a little bit about the formation. After observing like this, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "It's really like this!"

"Then are we joining the battle?"

Ru Xiyao: Probably so.

Ling Qing: Yaoyao, can you find the formation eye?

Ru Xiyao: No.

After hearing Ru Xiyao's answer, Ling Qing suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and had a lot of thoughts.

(If you can’t find the formation, how can you get out?)

(What’s more, according to Yaoyao’s words, there are still things watching in the dark.)

(If that thing could control the formation, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to catch a turtle in a jar?)

(Hey, wait, the term "catching a turtle in a urn" seems inappropriate when used here...)

Although Ru Xiyao and Ling Qing have a natal contract relationship, each of them has their own little secret, so usually neither of them would pry into the other person's thoughts.

Seeing Ling Qing's eyes dull at this moment, Ru Xiyao thought he was being tricked again, so she reached out and slapped him on the head, and shouted: Ling Qing?

Ling Qing: Ah? What's wrong?

Seeing him raise his head to respond, Ru Xiyao felt slightly relieved. Thinking of how nervous she was just now, she couldn't help but raise her hand and hit his head again.

"What are you thinking about? My eyes were straight. I thought you had been tricked again."

Ling Qing: I'm thinking about it...well, I'm thinking about the formation.

Ru Xiyao: What do you want the formation eye for? Can you find it?

Ling Qing: I can’t find it, but I have to try. Otherwise, how can we get out?

Ru Xiyao: Just break the formation.

Hearing this, Ling Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

(Is it so straightforward? You don’t even have to look for the formation, just break it?)

(Why do you feel that Yaoyao is becoming more and more courageous? Is it because she has entered the advanced stage of Mahayana?)

As for breaking the formation, Ling Qing still wanted to try to find the formation's eye, so he said in a persuasive way: The formation is not that easy to break, and if you force it to be broken, there will be backlash.

Ru Xiyao: "I know!"

"Find a weak point to break the formation, and the backlash you will receive will be much smaller. A small backlash won't cause much trouble."

Ling Qing: It’s not much of a hindrance, but can’t it be done without getting hurt?

Thinking of Ru Xiyao's injuries along the way, Ling Qing felt a little uncomfortable.

Although injuries are inevitable on the road to becoming a strong person, in his opinion, spending more time and suffering less injuries is worth it.

Knowing that Ling Qing was concerned about her body, Ru Xiyao did not insist on breaking the formation. She nodded lightly, smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you then, find the formation first."

"But if I can't find it within an hour, then I can only forcefully break the formation."

Ling Qing: No problem. If you can't find the formation eye, I will break the formation with you.

Afraid that the formation would change, Ru Xiyao and Ling Qing did not act separately, but carefully searched nearby.

Ling Qing: Yaoyao, do you see the tree over there moving?

Hearing Ling Qing's words, Ru Xiyao couldn't help but turn her head and look over. She saw that the big tree not far away was trembling, and its branches and leaves were swaying wildly, as if they were dancing.

At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air sounded from behind. Ru Xiyao made a quick decision and chose to fly up. Unexpectedly, the sound of breaking through the air was also heard from the left and right.

While dodging, Ru Xiyao discovered that the things attacking her turned out to be thick branches, and the source was the mutated tree below.

Ling Qing: "Have these big trees mutated? Or have they become demons?"

"Why didn't you notice it at all when you came in just now?"

Ru Xiyao: What mutates into demons is because someone is controlling them behind the scenes.
