At the same time, his wings behind him turned into a burst of flame, vanishing.Sheng Lingyuan's reaction was extremely quick, his fingers clamping onto a protruding stone on the edge of the cliff, simultaneously stripping off his long coat, whipping it out and wrapping it around Xuan Ji.
Both of them crashed into the cliff, Sheng Lingyuan supporting their weight with one hand, inhaling sharply, his shoulders and elbows in agony, the veins on his hand threatening to break his skin.Xuan Ji: "…
I can't feel my wings either."Not only could he not feel his wings, but he felt his body unusually heavy, the fiery energy surging through his veins uncontrolled—Sheng Lingyuan squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "You wish in vain!"This red-beaked raven!Xuan Ji: "I say, there are conditions to becoming a mortal!'After this matter is resolved, the world will be in peace,' turning into a mortal halfway through — what the hell does that mean!I knew my sudden vertigo was a bad omen!"Sheng Lingyuan had no time to argue.
His hand was hanging, only his fingers clamping onto a stone, barely holding on.
He had become overly reliant on demonic energy in his later life, not treating himself as a mortal, not seriously practicing.
Now that the demonic energy suddenly vanished, he almost felt like he was powerless."Almost can't breathe…" Xuan Ji was even less used to it, "I mean, why do humans grow so tall with such a large gravitational pull?And how much does this coat cost, is it enough to…"He didn't finish when he heard a tearing sound.This mouth was unbelievable!Sheng Lingyuan: "Please, stop talking!""I'm going to complain about this brand!" Amidst Xuan Ji's wailing, the metal clasp of the destroyed coat rolled off, clattering with the rocks.Xuan Ji suddenly closed his mouth, both of them focusing on the sound of the metal clasp hitting something.The clasp made a "pfft" sound, seemingly landing on something soft.Xuan Ji: "Not deep, seems close to the bottom…
but why didn't it bounce back?What's below?"Sheng Lingyuan quickly pulled up his long coat, Xuan Ji being lifted up.Xuan Ji: "Wait…"The ordinary coat couldn't handle such intense activities, splitting into two halves.
Sheng Lingyuan, lifting him up, held him close, letting go as they rolled down the path of the sleeve.This fall nearly dislodged his organs.
Sheng Lingyuan felt numb in the chest for a moment, nearly losing consciousness…
but he was unharmed.At the same time, Xuan Ji's phone, without signal, flew out, flying over ten meters before the screen lit up.The dim light illuminated the bottom of the abyss, revealing a thick layer of plant leaves below them, like a carpet.
The green vines were like blood vessels, emerging from the middle of a familiar bronze tripod — a human body.The "human" had already turned into branches, hanging from a familiar bronze tripod.The roots of eight trees, like steel nails, pinned the spreading vines to something — not the ground.Xuan Ji got up, picked up his phone, and used the flashlight to peel away the thick layer of green vines.The green vines were pinned to a massive skeleton.It had wings, the size of a mountain, the head facing the Chiyuan — just like the Phoenix totem.Xuan Ji stared for a moment, feeling something, almost trembling as he touched the skeleton.Sheng Lingyuan: "What?""I think I dug my own grave," Xuan Ji said after a long silence, "quite thrilling."He raised the flashlight to illuminate the person on the tripod.The "person" had turned into a mummy, with faint traces of facial features.It was Luocuicui."This fellow has been here long enough, ready to be served on a platter," Xuan Ji said in a low voice, "And the one we were with…""Doctor Xiao!"Xiao Zheng was flapping his black-feathered head, catching the raven: "What!What happened again?""Doctor, we found out that before the headquarters collapsed, Luocuicui used her work card to go to the 80th floor.
But because the building was damaged, we can't confirm if anything was missing inside."The 80th floor was the headquarters' armory, filled with many "secret silver" bullets.Xiao Zheng's eyes widened — the characteristic of secret silver bullets was to automatically bypass ordinary people and track power users…
or abnormal energy bodies.
