Ming Yu felt like he had a very long and complicated dream.
At first, he was immersed in darkness, as if he had sunk deep into a quagmire. His physical body no longer felt any pain, but he still felt suffocated. He felt that he was unable to breathe within the quagmire.
He wanted to swim to the surface and breathe fresh air again, but he found that his body had no strength, as if he was completely out of control.
However, his lung capacity seemed to be sufficient, so he didn't need to go upstream to maintain his life for the time being.
As he was drowning in the water, Ming Yu closed his eyes. Perhaps in the next moment, he was going to die, but he heard a gentle voice calling into his ear, just like the wind blowing past his ears. Even though this deep pool of water was very cold, it still made him feel soft, even touching his heart.
It was a woman's voice, the voice of a woman that was deeply engraved in Ming Yu's heart and had not been heard for a long time:
"Don't sleep …" "Don't go to sleep …"
Ming Yu suddenly opened his eyes as he realized who the owner of the voice was. His eyes widened as he looked at the deep pool again.
There seemed to be a blurry figure appearing on the shore above the water. He was wearing a black skirt, his skin was greasy, and his long hair danced in the wind. However, that figure was just a back that turned around.
"..." "Hei Ji."
Ming Yu suddenly felt that his entire body was finally filled with a sliver of energy. It was the power given to him by some psychological stimulus. He tried so hard to climb out of the deep pool, but it was still difficult to do.
However, he saw that the beautiful figure was walking step by step towards a place far away from the deep pool. The figure's legs could no longer be seen and his line of sight only covered her skirt.
"No …" You can't leave, you absolutely can't! " Ming Yu panicked. He felt that he was getting further and further away from that beautiful figure. He felt an indescribable pain coming from the bottom of his heart. He clearly fell into a deep pool of death, but he felt that the person who was really about to die was Hei Ji and not Ming Yu.
He did not know where he got the strength from, but he kept shouting at the bottom of the water. It was as if he had gained some strength out of thin air, and was finally able to control his four limbs to swim towards the top of the deep pool.
He wanted to chase after that beautiful figure and hug her tightly in his embrace, not allowing her to leave. He would never, ever leave!
However, suddenly, countless black tentacles extended out from the bottom of the pool and wrapped around Ming Yu's legs, which finally regained its strength. However, countless black tentacles extended out from the bottom of the pool, and wrapped around Ming Yu's legs, which finally regained its strength.
"Let me go! "Let go!"
Ming Yu struggled with all his might, but as he shouted, his black tentacles had already wrapped themselves around his chest. In the violent roar, his mouth choked with water and gushed into his nose and mouth, making him feel like he was suffocating.
"No …"
The complete darkness before his eyes invaded Ming Yu's body with a strong sense of despair. His brain felt as if every cell felt despair until his arm that was reaching up was completely swallowed by despair.
Completely suffocating!
"..." "No!"
His handsome face was already wet with sweat, and the clothes on his back were all soaked in sweat. His eyes were wide open, and his chest was heaving up and down. He still hadn't completely woken up from his despair.
After five breaths, Ming Yu slowly raised his arms and lowered his head to look at his open palms. He then muttered to himself: "A dream …"
Ming Yu fell down and slept under the bed again. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and was unable to calm down for a long time.
After a long while, a voice rang out:
"You're finally awake."
The voice was also a woman's voice. It was very elegant, but it carried a hint of rationality and coldness. Although it sounded pleasant to the ears, in the end, it was different from the voice in his dreams. It was the voice of two women.
It was Bai Ling.
Bai Ling's figure flashed out from the Scale Nucleus. She was dressed in white, with a ponytail, and even though her oval face did not have any expression on it, her beautiful face was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Although this face looked extremely similar to the owner of the voice in his dreams, the completely different temperament told Ming Yu that they would never be the same person.
Ming Yu took a deep breath and placed the back of his hand on his forehead as he looked at the ceiling. He still hadn't completely recovered from the weakness in his dream just now, he looked at the exquisite carved marble ceiling and asked tiredly, "I just dreamed about Hei Ji. Her situation is very dangerous, I'm afraid I will lose her."
Bai Ling's pretty face remained expressionless as she listened, but there was a subtle change in her eyes. "Perhaps your dream is a reflection of reality."
"What do you mean?" Ming Yu turned his head and asked Bai Ling, who was sitting on the seat beside him.
Bai Ling shook her head and said: "Not long ago, among your Scale Nucleus, Hei Ji's remaining soul aura has become weaker, because she is of the Ji Yin attribute, and your Scale Nucleus is also of the Ji Yang attribute. On one hand, Hei Ji's soul is absorbing nutrients from your Scale Nucleus to survive, and on the other hand, it's also because the Yin and Yang elements are constantly eroding her body, if she continues like this, I'm afraid that she won't be able to continue for half a year."
Bai Ling and Hei Ji were inextricably linked. She was well aware of Hei Ji's current condition.
"What did you say?" "Didn't you say that I could endure for a period of time? I wanted to gather merit points within the Universe Escort Office within half a year so that I could go to the Universe Escort Office Headquarters in the central region of the Wilderness and retrieve the Ancient Jade, then help Hei Ji revive. All of these, I was prepared to carry out without stopping, but now you're telling me, Hei Ji, you can't even support the minimum period of half a year that I have set for you.
Ming Yu spoke extremely quickly. He didn't even know why he was lying on the bed, nor did he know where he was. However, he didn't care, he only wanted to know the answer to the matter before him!
Seeing Ming Yu's expression, the expression in Bai Ling's eyes became complicated. She did not understand the man in front of her.
Bai Ling had already been unable to understand his methods since before he had fainted.
"Don't be in such a hurry."
Bai Ling said patiently: "What I didn't mention before, is that as your realm grows and Scale Nucleus grow stronger, then, the restraints on Hei Ji will become even stronger. Therefore, the higher your realm becomes, the more danger Hei Ji's life will become.
"In other words, as long as I continue to improve, Hei Ji's environment will be even more dangerous. As long as we don't find the Ancient Jade, she will always be in greater danger?"
"That's right."
"If that's really the case, then how am I supposed to find the Ancient Jade? How am I supposed to find the Ancient Jade and defeat the person who snatched the Ancient Jade away? I already need strength to begin with, but why are you telling me this now?"
Ming Yu could not believe what he heard.
The reason he raised his strength was to help Hei Ji regain her consciousness, but increasing his strength meant to hasten Hei Ji's death. What kind of logic was this!
Bai Ling said, "So, while you were unconscious, I had been thinking about this problem. Right now, the only solution is to find a balance between Hei Ji's impending death and the fact that you're strong enough."
Ming Yu listened carefully without interrupting in the slightest.
"And at the node of this realm, I estimate that it would at most be at the fourth level of the Star Swallowing Stage."
Bai Ling paused for a moment before continuing, "Once you reach the fourth stage of the Star Swallowing Stage, and before you can find the Ancient Jade within a few days, Hei Ji will face absolute death. But, if you do not reach the strength of the fourth stage of the Star Swallowing Stage, then, as time passes, because the Scale Nucleus's Supreme Yang Energy corrodes the soul, Hei Ji will still die."
So now the point is very clear.
Right now, Hei Ji's survival was like a ticking time bomb. It was as if it had been calculated beforehand and would explode at any given time.
If Ming Yu hesitated for a second, then the time bomb would have exploded. He couldn't cancel the time bomb too early because he wasn't strong enough to do so.
Therefore, he could only dismantle the ticking time bomb when the ticking time bomb was at its final seconds!
Ming Yu smiled bitterly. He did not expect fate to increase the difficulty of saving Hei Ji. Not only did it increase his strength, but it also increased it just right. Otherwise, it would all be for naught.
Closing his eyes, Ming Yu only needed to remain calm. He was already rapidly thinking about the plan of action, if one were to say what was the core of this plan, then it would definitely be crazily accepting missions without any limit. If one accepted missions with a soft hand, they would have to gather 30,000 contribution points as soon as possible, and then rush to Universe Escort Office Headquarters.
"Therefore, I have yet to obtain any merit points when it comes to escorting Black Coffin. I should start from the beginning, right?" Ming Yu squinted his eyes.
"Wrong."
Bai Ling said, "Because of this mission, you earned a total of 5000 contribution points."
Ming Yu raised his eyebrows and his heart skipped a beat: "Why?"2
He clearly remembered that he had merged with a Remnant Soul of Giant Spirit, and the final goal of Shi Loong's group was to escort the Black Coffin, but the person he was escorting, was probably the biggest winner. He was probably not even able to enjoy any more benefits from the Brilliant Main City Branch, but the situation had developed in a completely opposite direction.
