Chapter 183 The Transformation of Tuanzi
[Can I confess now that I've upgraded?]
[Tuanzi has three chances to level up, and the trigger for each one is different, but I didn't level up in the first two times, so these records aren't there.] Tuanzi's expression was very serious.
Ning Xiaoxi thought it was a bit far-fetched. "You've been leveling up for so long, and you're only just realizing it?"
Well, upgrading your skills takes time too!
Ning Xiaoxi blinked. [Does it really take this long to learn such a small amount of knowledge?]
Because the upgrade was too late, it cannot be directly imported; it can only be converted bit by bit before learning.
Pfft! Ning Xiaoxi couldn't hold back any longer; she was being punished.
So you've finished your studies?
[You can look up information if you haven't learned something.]
Seeing Tuanzi's serious expression, Ning Xiaoxi stopped teasing it. It's finally grown up a bit, don't let it become withdrawn from all the questions.
[Didn't Tianwei upgrade back then?]
He died after only two years with me. He barely spoke to me back then.
Do you know what kind of world he comes from?
[I don't know. This is the only thing that cannot be detected; even after completing three upgrades, there's still no way to know.]
Tianji comes from a world where humans and demons coexist, and it's a mythical beast itself; it's a miracle it would accept a mission to slay demons. Judging from Tianji's words, Tianwei isn't on the same path as it. Could it be that Tianwei comes from a world where humans and demons coexist? This system is really a trap! The randomness is just too arbitrary. Or is this also a test for Tuanzi? If she passes, everyone will be happy; if she fails, the world will truly restart.
"You've only been with me for three months, and you've already leveled up. You've been with him for two years, and you haven't leveled up at all?"
Neither of them can cause as much trouble as you.
Oh, so you're upset that I let you level up?
Tuanzi hugged Ning Xiaoxi's neck tightly. "I need to level up further. Only when I level up can I help you fight monsters."
Ning Xiaoxi turned her head. She was already holding one in her arms, and having another one around her neck would be a bit heavy. She put the little mermaid down, pulled the dumpling away, and said, "[Were you scared by Zhu Jiuyin?]"
Can you honestly say you're not afraid?
"I'm scared! I was terrified when I saw that little guy! I almost peed my pants just now, you know?" Ning Xiaoxi didn't care to admit she was scared. Who wouldn't be scared of something like that? She was just a little shrimp right now!
The little dumpling's limbs drooped down, its head hung down, and its eyes "plop" fell onto the golden sand.
Alright, you continue studying. I'll help you find an opportunity to level up. One day, we'll defeat all these monsters!
The dumpling suddenly perked up and disappeared with a bang. [I'm going to study.]
Ning Xiaoxi looked at her empty palm, glanced down at the little mermaid with a smile, and continued to collect spirit crystals and gold sand.
Inside the cave, the aura of the Spirit Crystal Forest rose again, the illusory images of the sun and moon were raised high, and the stars began to light up one by one, twinkling with bright light.
Ning Xiaoxi placed the collected gold dust on the outer edge of the forest. The gold dust belt, about a hundred meters wide, encircled the forest. Looking up and squinting, she could see that the gold dust stretched as far as the eye could see. Turning back, it was already dark, and she was standing on dry ground.
He took out a tent from the spatial talisman and set it up with his back to the direction of Jinsha. He placed soft furs inside the tent, took out a brazier, lit some firewood, set up a frame, took out an earthenware pot full of chicken soup, hung it up, and waited for the soup to boil.
The little mermaid curiously gathered around Ning Xiaoxi, watching her take out one thing after another, and then stared at the fire she had lit without moving.
Ning Xiaoxi pulled the little mermaid down onto the soft white fur, patting its head, "That's fire, don't get close, it'll burn you."
The little mermaid leaned against Ning Xiaoxi with a smile.
The fire was blazing, and the aroma of chicken soup quickly filled the air.
Ning Xiaoxi quickly got up, took out another bowl and chopsticks, and ladled herself a bowl of soup. She then took out a plate, scooped out the chicken, and placed it on the plate, calling the little mermaid to come and eat. Ning Xiaoxi took a delicious sip of soup, then turned her head and found that the plate was gone. The little mermaid blinked her big eyes at her, her expression clearly showing that she still wanted more.
Ning Xiaoxi took out another plate and said to it, "You can't eat this." She then picked up another plate of chicken and handed it to it.
"My mother's chicken soup is so delicious." Ning Xiaoxi sipped the soup in her bowl, feeling a little homesick.
After a good night's sleep, Ning Xiaoxi tidied up and looked at the golden sand of spirit crystals in front of her. Suddenly, she felt the kind of troubles that the rich have – there are just too many to count!
Another golden sand area about 100 meters wide was added. When we were almost at the end, we could see a strange building in the distance that did not look like spirit crystals.
The closer she got, the more she felt the grandeur and solemnity of the building. Finally, after collecting the gold sand, Ning Xiaoxi looked up at the strange building and discovered that it was submerged in the sea, with a barrier separating the land beneath her feet from the ruins.
"It's the remains of the Kunpeng." Tuanzi quietly climbed onto Ning Xiaoxi's shoulder and whispered.
Live broadcast.
This is a building complex surrounded by seawater.
The massive stone pillars rise abruptly from the seabed, each requiring several people to encircle it. They stand like guardians of the ocean, silently protecting the glory of the past. Carved on the pillars are images that record the legendary story of the Kunpeng soaring through the sky and battling the wind and waves. Though the lines have become somewhat blurred by the erosion of the seawater, they have only added to the sense of mystery and vicissitude.
The main structure of the ruins features a massive dome, resembling an inverted sky. Its material, an unknown and strange mineral, still emits a faint, eerie glow despite the passage of countless years, contrasting sharply with the surrounding dark seabed environment, as if telling a story of past glory. Beneath the dome lies a spacious hall with a floor paved with smooth stone slabs. Although partially covered by sea sand, its orderly layout is still evident.
Around the main hall are several auxiliary buildings, some spiraling like mysterious passageways to an unknown world, others massive archways, now incomplete but still hinting at their former grandeur and majesty. The walls of these buildings are inlaid with various shells and gemstones, which shimmer with iridescent colors in the dim light, like stars in the night sky, adding a touch of dreamlike beauty to this silent ruin.
The most awe-inspiring sight is the colossal Kunpeng statue at the center of the ruins. With its wings spread, it seems poised to break free from the confines of the seabed and soar through the skies once more. Every detail of the statue is lifelike; its sharp eyes and robust body exude the Kunpeng's majestic spirit. While the passage of time has left its surface weathered and worn, it has not diminished its majesty but rather amplified the profound weight it carries.
The mermaid suddenly appeared, grabbed Ning Xiaoxi, and rushed into the ruins, arriving in front of the Kunpeng statue. The little merman followed closely behind, his body flashing red light, illuminating one section of the ruins after another.
