"The bubble won't burst, right?" Zhong Rui pulled Xiao Yan Yuan back as well, leaving only Xiao Shizigou and Miaomiao still slowly moving forward. However, they clearly no longer had the ability to attract people's attention. Everyone's gaze was drawn to Jinli. In such a short time, the little guy had already slowly drifted ahead of Huang Ye and the others. Seeing that he had been overtaken by a small fish, Blood Saber became somewhat anxious. He involuntarily took a larger step, but almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize himself in time, but he no longer dared to look at Jinli!
Although the golden carp had run ahead of Huang Ye and the others, its speed had clearly slowed down. Moreover, the bubble that enveloped the golden carp had been compressed into a flat shape, with its top and bottom almost touching the body of the golden carp. It looked like the bubble was about to burst at any moment!
"Bubble? That's just a water ball. Most likely, it's used to keep its body moist. Even if we don't attack it, it won't be much affected, except that it can't stay outside for long. Now, it has to divert its attention to control that water ball. If the water ball is gone, its abilities will increase even more!" Zhong Yuan paused for a moment and explained for everyone!
"This little thing is so cute! If it often comes out to play, I wonder how many people it would quickly defeat!" Zhong Rui nodded slightly and exclaimed, even she was almost captivated by the golden carp!
"That little thing has been trapped in the desert for a thousand years, so it's normal for it to be a bit withdrawn. Just spend more time getting along with it in the future!" A golden carp that can wrap itself in a water ball and run around is indeed very cute. Zhong Yuan originally thought that the golden carp, which was so eager to come out of the oasis, should attract a lot of popularity to the spirit world. He never expected such a result!
"Hey! Brother, is that your sister-in-law's guardian beast? It looks like a tiger!" Mojilier and Yueshan were also in the formation, but at this moment, a shadow of a fierce tiger appeared beside Mojilier. As for Yueshan, she simply retreated, knowing she was definitely no match for those little girls!
"Hmm, a gorgeous tiger, but it's useless. Lill is also out of it!" Indeed, not long after Zhong Yuan finished speaking, Moji Lill slowly backed out. She could still walk a few steps, but it would be embarrassing if she couldn't make it back when her strength was exhausted!
"It's so infuriating! If they can't match up to Yao Yao, that's fine, but when did these little ones become so formidable!" Not long after Mojilier and Yueshan retreated, Miaomiao and her friends finally couldn't take it anymore and retreated from the formation. Only Yao Yao and the little poodle remained behind, slowly following Gale Eagle and the others. This was yet another blow to the little girls, especially the unassuming Golden Carp, who was somewhat intimidating!
"That little fish is quite strong, but it's evident that it doesn't know how to harness its own energy; it only relies on instinct!" After a prolonged silence, Jin Jia broke in. It had wanted to speak, but having caused trouble today and with Zhong Yuan by its side, Jin Jia really didn't dare to act like a mother hen!
"Of course, accumulating for such a long time is not something to be taken lightly. Speaking of which, it seems like there are a total of several monster cultivation manuals stored in the inheritance tower. In the future, I'll let this little thing pick its own slowly, so it won't have to stay in the water all day!" Seeing the golden carp, Zhong Yuan initially planned to help the little guy pick a cultivation manual as well, so as not to waste its talent. However, after some thought, he decided not to. At worst, he could put some good monster cultivation manuals in the inheritance tower and let the little guy slowly find them. This way, it could also help the little guy adapt to the outside world and gradually integrate into the big family of the spirit realm!
"Sister Xu Ying, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Everyone's attention was drawn to Jinli, and they didn't notice the situation on Xu Ying's side. However, Zhong Rui did notice. She clearly saw that the little girls were able to walk so far in the formation, while she and Yan Yuan's mother were just hovering around the same spot. The huge gap made Xu Ying feel extremely embarrassed, and her face involuntarily fell a bit!
"Nothing! I just feel touched seeing how amazing all of you, Xiaorui, are!" Not just touched, but the contact with Zhongrui and her friends over these days has completely changed Xu Ying's perception of the world. Just take those little girls for example, not only can they fly, but they also just now transformed into beams of light and penetrated into Zhongrui's bracelet. What an incredible thing!
"What's the big deal? We haven't been cultivating for long. The key is that the cultivation environment in the Spirit Realm is really excellent. If Sister Xu Ying wants to learn, there are several glass tablets scattered around this small valley, each inscribed with several scripts left by my brother. We started learning from those, and Sister Xu Ying can choose one to learn!" Those scripts are now all ordinary ones. Zhong Rui, the master, can still do this. Besides, there's a reason why they can progress so quickly. Zhong Yuan giving so many treasures is not a joke!
"Is... this possible?" Xu Ying's eyes lit up. In the past, she would never have believed in such things, and at most would have done some fitness exercises or the like. Now, however, she had no choice but to believe. Xu Ying also understood the importance of a cultivation background. How could Zhong Rui and her friends be lacking in cultivation skills?
"What's not allowed? As long as you, Sister Xu Ying, don't spread rumors, we'll take you to have a look later!" Zhong Rui didn't seem to care at all. Those people, including General Liu and his side, already knew. Although it hadn't been spread outside, the result was the same. It didn't seem like a big deal to have one more person know!
"Speaking of which, have you guys gone to see Xiaokani and the others while I've been away?" Zhong Yuan didn't join in with Zhong Rui and the others, but as he listened to Miaomiao and the others mention one little guy after another, he couldn't help but think of his two godchildren!
"Yes, yes, my lord. Xiao Rui and I went to visit during Children's Day. We also went to the old village. You don't know, my lord, that outside the old village, the villagers built a shrine for you. The statue of you is so ugly, it's not even as beautiful as a golden eagle! Hehe!" Quan'er jumped over with her hand raised, as if afraid someone else would speak before her!
"Don't worry, brother. We informed Uncle Dakawanda and the others a couple of days ago. Although they haven't gone on vacation yet, Xiaokani and the others will take leave to come over!" Zhong Rui also smiled. Those two little ones are really adorable, especially when they wear traditional Tujia costumes. They look so charming!
"Eh! The Goshawk and the others are almost at the end of their rope!" When they were still about 7 or 8 meters away from the Heritage Tower, the Goshawk and the others slowly stopped, clearly unable to hold on any longer. Although they had quite a bit of reserve strength left, that strength was reserved for the retreat. This wasn't a big deal; it was just a test of their own strength. If they tried to be too brave and couldn't make it back, it wouldn't be pretty!
The Goshawk and his companions slowly retreated. Yaoyao and the little poodle, out of breath, turned around. Their smug expressions were clearly visible to everyone. But who could blame them for being smug? Didn't they take a few more steps than the Goshawk and his companions? Although the distance traveled in the formation doesn't necessarily indicate strength, it's still a benchmark of a different kind of strength!
"These guys are not human!" Miaomiao sighed as she watched Huang Ye and the others getting closer and closer to the Heritage Tower, eliciting a chorus of agreement from the little girls around her. But why were all the little girls' eyes fixed on Yao Yao and the little poodle?
"Humph, besides Taoist Huang and his group, Uncle Huxiao and that little fish aren't even human!" Xiaoyan'er looked gloomy. How could so many people run farther than them? It was too unreal!
"Who do you think can go the furthest? It can't be that little fish, right? They are almost caught up by Taoist Huang and the others!" I can't walk anymore, but watching others slowly strive is quite interesting. Look, the betting is about to start!
"It must be Uncle Huxiao. Taoist Huang and his friends only have two legs, but Uncle Huxiao has four!" Huan'er said with absolute certainty!
"Who says having more legs wins? If you bring a centipede, you'll be invincible!" Someone disagreed!
"Burst, burst, Xiaoyu's bubble burst!" Just as the little girls were guessing wildly, the water ball around the golden carp disappeared. However, as soon as the water ball vanished, the golden carp seemed to relax a lot. It flicked its tail, and although it flew lower and lower, it quickly arrived at the place where Jin Jia had fallen earlier. Without the inheritance tower being activated, it was considered to have completed the entire process! It had to be said that if there were really a competition, the golden carp would be a dark horse!
Seeing that there was no place to go, the golden carp flicked its tail, turned around, and slowly "swam" back. Hu Xiao and his companions did not give up, but Zhong Yuan could see clearly that Huang Ye, Li Po, and Hu Xiao were fine, but Xue Dao was clearly not up to par. Compared to the two veteran congenital experts, Xue Dao's time as a congenital had been too short!
Just as the golden carp emerged from its hiding spot, Zhong Yuan had already wrapped a ball of water with his mind power. Upon seeing the ball of water, the golden carp immediately leaped joyfully into it. As Zhong Yuan's mind power dissipated, except for a small amount of water that fell to the ground, most of it was controlled by the golden carp, forming what looked like a bubble again!
"Not bad...! In a while, this Heritage Tower will be officially opened to the public. I've placed quite a few demon cultivation scripts inside, and there must be one that suits you. Besides, the formation won't be so powerful then. If you're interested, you can ask Miaomiao and the others to take you to have a look later. With a suitable cultivation script, your achievements will definitely not stop here!" Zhong Yuanyou praised, "At least so far, besides Zhong Yuan and Jin Jia, this little thing that's almost forgotten has traveled the furthest in the entire small valley!"!
"The Bloodsword and the others are almost at the end of their rope!" Jinli just sent a cheerful thought over, and Bloodsword, who had fallen two steps behind Huang Ye and the others, clearly gave up. Meanwhile, Huang Ye and the others could not move forward as they looked at the inheritance tower that was just within reach. At this point, the competition, which was not a formal match, ended with the emergence of a dark horse. However, Huang Ye and Huxiao's strength were once again affirmed. Those who had personally experienced walking in that gravity knew very well how much effort it took to take a single step forward!
