Chapter 196 Something's Not Right
She patted a tree trunk beside her, and a green vine snaked up from her hand until it reached a green clump of grass. The green branches turned black, reflecting a ghostly light, and cut off the green vines that were hanging around the clump of grass.
"boom!"
It smashed a patch of green grass, stirring up a shower of green leaves. The branches fell with the clump of grass, breaking free of the cocoon to reveal a skeleton that had turned green. The withered bones, curled up together, scattered haphazardly on the ground the moment the cocoon opened. Even the living soul was devoured, its path to rebirth severed.
Looking up at the dense green clusters above her head, spiritual energy surged, and one by one, fireballs burning with purplish-red flames appeared around Ning Xiaoxi's body. The fireballs were not large, each only about the size of her fist, and the temperature of the flames was very high, making her skin dry out.
With a flick of his finger, fireballs instantly ignited the green grass clumps. The purple flames were silent, the grass emitted a foul stench, the flowers were consumed by the flames, their fragrance vanished, and black smoke enveloped everything.
"Fizz!"
Green smoke rose from the bushes, spreading towards Ning Xiaoxi through the surrounding green trees.
"Crack! Crack!"
The Spirit Crystal Heart transformed into a cleaver, which dragged along the ground.
Ning Xiaoxi gripped the knife hilt with both hands and slashed horizontally with great force, cutting a large tree in half, spurting out green blood. The blood splattered onto the grass on the ground, causing the grass to grow wildly, forming a net that enveloped Ning Xiaoxi.
The machete cleaved vertically, severing the large green net in two. However, no juice splattered from the cut; only a faint green smoke was absorbed by the Spirit Crystal Heart machete.
With another sweep, streams of green blood spurted out and were absorbed by the blade. Ning Xiaoxi watched as the Spirit Crystal Heart Cleaver swept across the battlefield like a thousand troops, cutting and absorbing everything.
The area within a mile was cleared.
"Is it just relying on the instincts of the demon race to eat people?" Ning Xiaoxi stared intently, and there was no longer any demonic aura within her field of vision. The Spirit Crystal Heart Cleaver circled back, swaying and circling Ning Xiaoxi a few times before landing lightly in her palm.
The burning bones beneath my feet made a whooshing sound as they eventually turned to ash.
Ning Xiaoxi sensed the surrounding atmosphere. The elements in the air were chaotic, with scattered demonic energy that hadn't yet dissipated, and the hazy aura left after the flames had burned out. There was also an aura that shouldn't exist.
magic!
Ning Xiaoxi, wielding the Spirit Crystal Heart Staff, descended straight from the heavens with the force of a cleaver.
A ravine stretches for ten miles, leading to a strange, monstrous creature.
Half of its body was that of a spirit wood demon, its wooden form intricately textured and flowing with emerald sap, like the veins of life. The bark was inlaid with softly glowing emeralds, like the eyes of the forest, constantly watching its surroundings. The other half was that of a demon, covered in black scales with sharp, blade-like edges that occasionally gleamed with an eerie, dark red light. Its muscles were bulging, exuding boundless evil power, and its thick demonic arms were adorned with sharp claws that gleamed coldly.
The spirit blades from the Spirit Crystal Heart Staff cleaved through the spirit wood demon's body, and thick, dark green blood flowed out. The grass and trees that had surrounded it turned to scorched earth as the dark green blood flowed out, and life was mercilessly devoured.
"CAO, what is that?"
[A fusion of demons and monsters, a new species. Xiao Xi, destroy it.]
[So ugly.]
The Spirit Crystal Heart transformed into a long whip, with fiery thorns and spikes rolling around its body. Ning Xiaoxi lashed the whip at the Spirit Wood Demon.
The thick demonic arm uprooted a nearby tree and threw it at the whip. The spirit wood was driven to make the trees grow wildly, and thick vines emerged from the ground like pythons, directly wrapping around Ning Xiaoxi.
The Spirit Crystal Whip dragged the large tree down heavily, slamming it onto the vines that were sprouting from the ground.
The water fell as rain, and the rain froze into ice, trapping the Spirit Wood Demon inside.
Ning Xiaoxi stepped in front of the Spirit Wood Demon and, before its black mist could contaminate the ice layer, unleashed the Heaven-Opening Fist, bringing all things to one, which slammed heavily onto the tree.
With a series of "crack!" sounds, the Spirit Wood Demon's body shattered into powder, and the ice crystals, along with the wood chips and black smoke, dissipated under the sunlight.
Ning Xiaoxi frowned, looking at the mess on the ground. [What level are these two?]
[Just entered the intermediate level.]
[Me, a Super-tier player, fighting two Mid-tier players? Why is it so exhausting?]
[Just upgraded, not yet fully integrated; needs time to integrate.]
Are you just giving me the runaround?
[This is the conclusion I can find so far. If Xiaoxi doesn't believe me, we can try finding a few more demons.]
The spiritual energy fluctuations in this area are not strong; it's already the limit for nurturing these two demons. There won't be enough spiritual energy within a hundred-mile radius to support the existence of another demon.
As she was pondering, Ning Xiaoxi suddenly tensed up, then took a step to the left and disappeared from the spot.
With a "thud!", a green feathered arrow pierced the tree behind Ning Xiaoxi where she had just stood.
Ning Xiaoxi appeared a hundred meters away and swept her stick out with a "whoosh".
"Ah!" Amidst the screams, a green figure was sent flying, crashing into a large tree with a "bang!" before falling onto the grass, followed by another scream of pain.
Ning Xiaoxi landed, and her spiritual crystal heart transformed back into a knife held against the man's neck, coldly staring at the person on the ground.
Its slender body was clad in close-fitting green scale armor, which Ning Xiaoxi couldn't immediately discern whether it was its own or a custom-made garment. Its long green hair was styled in a ponytail, with two thin braids adorned with green gems and ribbons at its forehead. The exposed skin on its face and hands was green, and its eyes were a deep emerald green, like tranquil pools in a mountain forest. Green liquid trickled from the corner of its mouth, appearing to be blood spit out after being injured. Now, with a knife held to its neck, its upper body was half-raised, too afraid to move.
[The Spirit Clan, descendants of the Azure Wood Spirit King, one of the nine powerful human warriors; an alien race.]
[Tuanzi, that's impressive! Now you even have information on alien races.]
At this stage, we can only identify the ethnic group; there are no further detailed records.
While talking to Tuanzi, Ning Xiaoxi looked the person in front of her up and down. When she saw the chest, she realized it was a girl. Her abdomen was flat, but she could even see the shape of her abdominal muscles. She wore a short skirt around her waist, and the skirt looked like scales. Her legs were long and straight, and she wasn't wearing shoes. Scales covered her entire feet, with five distinct toes. From this perspective, it didn't look like she was wearing scales.
Perhaps it was Ning Xiaoxi's direct gaze that caused the girl on the ground to ignite a fire of anger in her eyes.
He deliberately pressed the knife down, the sharp blade gleaming coldly as it stung the girl's neck, causing her to involuntarily slump forward.
Ning Xiaoxi pressed her head against the back of the knife and looked down at the girl. Through the blade, their breaths mingled together.
