But he soon realized something was wrong; there were other people inside, and the voices seemed quite familiar.
He looked up abruptly and saw Lan Tianyu standing beside him, his expression calm.
"Brother Tianyu, it really is you!"
Summer was both surprised and delighted. Being rather guileless, he directly asked the question that had been bothering him.
"How did you get here? This is the Desolation Zone; normal people can't survive here at all."
Upon hearing this, Lan Tianyu thought to himself, "Xia Tian has discovered the truth about me being in the Mie Li. The truth will eventually come out."
Rather than passively explaining, it's better to proactively clarify some aspects.
Perhaps this is an opportunity.
This was an opportunity that would allow him to openly enter and exit the Extinction Realm from now on, instead of having to do it secretly.
He coughed lightly and tried to explain in a calm tone:
"Yeah, it's me."
"Actually, I've been cultivating within the Annihilation Realm all this time."
He paused, pointed to the dense aura of the underworld around him, and continued:
"The environment here is quite special, which greatly helps my cultivation."
"I sensed someone breaking in just now, and the aura was very familiar. When I came over, I found you lying unconscious on the ground, so I treated you for a bit."
As for the matter of Guilong, he did not mention it, because there was no need to.
After all, the two are of one mind and will find out what just happened sooner or later.
"Cultivating within the Annihilation Realm?"
Summer stared wide-eyed, as if she had heard a fairy tale.
He had just personally experienced the terror of the Annihilation, which almost cost him his life.
Brother Tianyu is actually able to cultivate here?
This was completely beyond his understanding.
He nodded as if he understood, though he didn't know what it meant. But he instinctively felt that Brother Tianyu was even more amazing.
Soon, he remembered the purpose of his mission to destroy them.
"Damn it, we still haven't found Thunderclap."
Xia Tian's expression changed drastically. She grabbed Lan Tianyu's arm and spoke incoherently in a panic.
"Brother Tianyu, Xia Mei threw the thunderbolt that had brought Han to his death into the abyss."
"We must find it as soon as possible, or Han will die."
Lan Tianyu sighed and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I know. I'll go find Jing Lei in a bit."
After saying that, he pointed to the spot where Xia Tian had just fainted.
"You've just recovered, so don't move around too much. This protective aura is still there and can protect you from the erosion of the Netherworld energy."
"I'll go look around. Thunder shouldn't be too far from the entrance."
"Okay, I'll wait here. You must find Jing Lei!"
Summer grasped at a straw, nodding repeatedly and staring nervously at the blue sky.
[Xia Lanxingde Tian's favorability towards the host: Extremely high, collection efficiency +200%!]
Lan Tianyu wasn't surprised to hear the system notification.
After all, he had just saved Xia Tian's life, so it was normal for his favorability rating to jump two levels.
He said no more, and with a flash, he began to search for Jing Lei.
Lan Tianyu, like a ghost, sped through the jagged rocks and the distorted blood moon.
Its powerful perception, like invisible tentacles, meticulously scanned every inch of space.
As a spiritual weapon cultivated through the interplay of cold and life, Thunderclap's unique fluctuations are like fireflies in the night in this desolate land.
Although faint, it was exceptionally vivid.
"found it!"
Lan Tianyu's gaze sharpened, locking onto a corner in the distance half-hidden by huge, twisted beast bones.
Two drumsticks, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, lay there quietly.
The surface was covered with a little sticky, dark substance, but the body itself was intact.
Without hesitation, he grabbed at the air with his right hand.
His powerful internal energy surged forth, transforming into an invisible giant hand that precisely grasped the thunderclap.
Guided by this gentle yet powerful internal force, Jing Lei steadily flew into Lan Tianyu's palm.
It feels cool to the touch, and beneath its metallic texture, one can clearly sense the faint spiritual energy it contains, connected to the very essence of the cold soul.
"go!"
Without the slightest delay, Lan Tianyu transformed into a streak of light and teleported back the way he came.
Inside the protective aura shield.
Summer is like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth restlessly.
His gaze was fixed on the impenetrable darkness outside, and each step he took was accompanied by a heavy heartbeat.
The image of Han's beautiful face, frozen in pain, flashed through his mind.
Every second of waiting felt like a year.
"Brother Tianyu, come back quickly! I'm afraid Han won't last much longer..."
He muttered to himself, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the hem of his clothes.
Several times, he couldn't resist the urge to rush out and search for it himself.
But the edge of the protective shield emitting a soft white light beneath their feet was like an invisible line between life and death.
The terrifying pain of feeling his bones shatter and his soul freeze when he stepped into the darkness was still fresh in his mind, which made him stop in his tracks.
He can't die here; Han is still waiting for him.
Just as he was on the verge of a breakdown from anxiety, a familiar figure appeared out of the darkness ahead, like a shooting star.
"Brother Tianyu!"
Xia Tian gasped in shock, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest, her gaze instantly locking onto the two gleaming drumsticks in Lan Tianyu's hand.
"It's thunder!"
He was so excited that he trembled all over and instinctively wanted to rush out of the protective shield to greet them.
Fortunately, he managed to stop himself at the last moment.
[182] Oh no! Run!
Lan Tianyu teleported to Xia Tian's side, his tone calm and decisive:
"The item has been found. Let's get back immediately!"
"it is good!"
Summer nodded frantically, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lan Tianyu said no more, gripping Jing Lei tightly with his left hand and grabbing Xia Tian's shoulder with his right.
"go!"
Having said that, he teleported to the location of the entrance.
at the same time.
Xia Mansion.
Utility room.
The atmosphere was suffocating and depressing.
Xia Yu leaned against the cold wall, his face somber.
His eyes had lost their previous composure, leaving only deep weariness and a hint of barely perceptible despair.
He gripped his phone tightly, the screen displaying Xiong Ge's number.
His thumb hovered over the dial key, but he hesitated to press it.
With each passing second, Xia Tian's chances of survival dwindled.
Annihilation... that's a death trap with no way out.
Xia Mei collapsed to the ground, her eyes already red and swollen from crying, her voice hoarse.
The fear and regret in her heart weighed on her like two mountains, making it hard for her to breathe.
Summer 13, because of her foolish jealousy and impulsiveness, might never come back...
She killed Han and implicated Xiao Ge...
Whenever she thought of this, she was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Brother, it's been so long and you're still not careful, is he...?"
Xia Mei sobbed, unable to utter that word.
Xia Yu took a deep breath, forcing himself to steady his shaky mind, his voice hoarse but carrying a final bit of determination:
"No news is good news."
"But we can't wait any longer. We must call Xiong Ge back; she might still have a way to rescue Xia Tian..."
Even though he knew that even the super-powered doctor was helpless, what could Xiong Ge do?
This is more like a form of self-comfort in despair.
Upon hearing the name Xiong Ge, Xia Mei trembled violently, a look of fear appearing on her face.
Having committed such a terrible crime, when her mother Darling returns, she'll probably beat her to death...
However, if we don't inform Xiong Ge, Xiao Ge and Han will really be doomed.
Those are two lives!
Just as Xia Yu made up his mind and his finger was about to press the dial button...
Inside the refrigerator, the previously silent, spinning, seven-colored vortex trembled without warning.
This subtle change was naturally noticed by Xia Mei and Xia Yu.
Xia Yu's fingers suddenly stopped, and Xia Mei's crying also stopped abruptly.
The two of them seemed to be frozen in place, suddenly turning their heads and staring intently at the refrigerator entrance.
next second.
Two figures appeared abruptly in the cramped space of the storage room, as if emerging from a vortex.
These two people are Lan Tianyu and Xia Tian.
Outside the Xia Mansion.
Illusion Eye, who had been monitoring the storage room, was pondering how to obtain the Dragon Sealing Card.
Suddenly, an extremely subtle yet terrifying aura appeared without warning, making him tremble deep in his soul.
That aura was vast and boundless, carrying an absolute pressure.
"No, run away!"
The phantom eye felt its soul tremble with fear, and was filled with utter terror.
He didn't have time to think, and he didn't even bother to look at the Xia family again.
The enormous eyeball instantly contracted, transforming into a barely perceptible black streak of light as it fled.
