Chapter 148: Chapter 107: The Purifying Moon Mother Gu’s Severed Umbilical Tentacle
The Snowstorm Apes and Ice Storm Apes struck by the venom had long since vanished, annihilated by the Rules of Erosion and Dissolution within the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother’s venom.
While Zhong Yi and the others were resting in the Ice Cave Secret Realm, a rather dramatic scene was unfolding in Starlight City’s Lower City District.
It turned out that Qin Ruyue, whose Deceit Beast’s Origin was grievously wounded, and Shi Mi had somehow ended up hiding in the same place.
This location happened to be the cellar of the fried cake and rice shop where Shi Mi had been hiding all along.
Both were thinking the same thing: the most dangerous place is the safest place.
The turmoil of the night had begun right here, in Liu Nan Lane of the Lower City District.
They both believed that Starlight City’s authorities would never suspect anyone of hiding here.
And so, by a twist of fate, the two came face-to-face!
Shi Mi had just separated from her fused state. Merging with the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess was her means of self-preservation, but every second of it consumed a massive amount of Energy.
Whether it was opening the Desolate Centipede Prison Gate, manifesting dozens of Ji Bone Clones via the Bone Bracelet,
or having the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess use Bone Shedding Transformation to evade the water’s control over her body—
all of it had nearly exhausted the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess’s Energy!
What’s more, after realizing the Ji Bone Clones were trapped by water spheres, Shi Mi had directed the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess to transfer Energy to several of them to try and break free.
And now, with the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess’s Energy almost completely depleted, she had run into Qin Ruyue.
Shi Mi felt like she’d just seen a ghost!
Every hair on her body stood on end!
Qin Ruyue studied Shi Mi’s expression, and upon seeing the genuine terror in her eyes,
she was certain that Shi Mi hadn’t witnessed her battle with the two Mythical Tier Celestial Destiny Seekers from Starlight City.
The Origin of Qin Ruyue’s Night-Cutting Spider was grievously wounded; nearly a third of its body had been incinerated by the Dragon Breath from the Biluo Spring Dragon.
The moment Qin Ruyue had entered the cellar and seen Shi Mi, she too had thought, ’It’s over.’
Even now, Qin Ruyue felt anything but relieved.
Qin Ruyue immediately assessed the condition of Shi Mi and her Centipede Bone Tomb Princess.
The Energy in Shi Mi’s Centipede Bone Tomb Princess was almost gone, but the creature itself hadn’t sustained any serious injuries.
Depleted Energy could be restored with time.
But her own situation was not something that could be healed with just a bit of time.
Qin Ruyue had already detected that after the Dragon Breath hit the Night-Cutting Spider, a substance with a strange, deathly aura had seeped into its body.
Though the substance wasn’t actively destroying the Night-Cutting Spider from within, it had begun to multiply ceaselessly after gathering.
At the rate it was multiplying, it would start leaking from the Night-Cutting Spider’s body in a matter of days.
At that point, Qin Ruyue would be unable to retract the Night-Cutting Spider into her Soul Base.
This substance, with its peculiar deathly aura, would contaminate her Soul Base—a corruption that not even a Bizarre being could withstand.
Qin Ruyue’s left fist clenched, her bright red nails digging into her palm.
Qin Ruyue cursed herself inwardly. ’I was far too careless!’
’I underestimated the Mythical Tier Celestial Destiny Seekers in Starlight City!’
’That parting shot left by the Celestial Destiny Seeker with the Water Attribute Dragon Species Order Beast was no different than planting a Moon Purifying Gu’s Child Gu inside Shi Mi.’
’If I can’t find a way to leave Starlight City before that substance seeps out of the Night-Cutting Spider...’
’...my odds of survival are slim!’
With her life on the line, Qin Ruyue had no time to worry about the damage to her Night-Cutting Spider’s Origin.
Periodically, the Night-Cutting Spider could expend all its bodily Energy to undergo a molt.
Relying on this special molting method, granted by its Mythical Tier Exclusive Traits, it could repair the vast majority of damage to its Origin.
This was why Qin Ruyue had never been too concerned about the Night-Cutting Spider’s injuries.
In Qin Ruyue’s mind, the Night-Cutting Spider’s healing and regeneration Ability was even more important than its reconnaissance skills.
If it weren’t for the Night-Cutting Spider’s unique Ability to molt and regenerate,
Qin Ruyue would never have been able to become a Moon Judge, even having awakened a Deceit Element Deceit Beast.
Right now, Qin Ruyue still couldn’t wrap her head around why that Water Attribute Dragon Species Order Beast had dared to take a full-power killing blow from her Night-Cutting Spider while it was under the effect of the Mysterious Night Rule.
’Could the Celestial Destiny Seeker with the Water Attribute Dragon Species Order Beast be an idiot?’
’A complete fool?!’
Unable to figure it out, Qin Ruyue decided to stop dwelling on it.
Since Shi Mi didn’t know her Night-Cutting Spider was grievously wounded, Qin Ruyue put on her usual imperious air.
She stared down at Shi Mi, her gaze dark and disdainful.
Unable to withstand the pressure from Qin Ruyue, Shi Mi was the first to break the silence.
"Heh, you win!"
"I can’t believe you managed to find me even with so many people in Starlight City hunting me down."
"But Qin Ruyue, even if you make a move on me now, don’t even think about getting the Rule Deceit Embryo."
"The Rule Deceit Embryo isn’t on me right now."
Hearing this, Qin Ruyue gave a slight flick of her hand, and over a thousand black crystal spiders immediately swarmed over every surface of the cellar.
"Shi Mi, you’re so greedy. How could you possibly not keep the Rule Deceit Embryo on you when you risked your life for it?"
"If you had put it somewhere else, without using the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess’s aura to suppress the Rule Deceit Embryo’s aura, I would have found it long ago."
