Immediately, the adult Earth Dragon King flapped his wings, and in a flash, he crossed the River Styx and flew to the shore.
Lonnie, Bai Ze, and An Jingjing had already arrived on the shore. When they saw the scene just now, they were stunned and speechless for a while.
As soon as I jumped to the ground, the adult Earth Dragon King suddenly started whining. Judging from its meaning, it seemed to be asking me to stand in front of it.
I didn't know why, so I walked over and saw the Earth Dragon King open his mouth and spit out a black bead.
The bead was the size of a palm, surrounded by black energy, floating in mid-air. There seemed to be a figure inside, struggling constantly.
"This is a soul bead that will not sink into the dead body!"
When An Jingjing saw this, she couldn't help but exclaimed in shock.
"Soul Pearl, what is it?"
I asked confused.
"After some dead souls, ghosts, and zombies reach a certain level of cultivation, they will condense their souls and hide them in the orifices. This condensed soul is the soul pearl."
Jing Jingjing explained: "This Earth Dragon King should have killed an unsinkable corpse and swallowed its soul bead. It may be that the soul bead is too solid, so it has not been refined yet."
I asked again: "But what does it mean when it spits out this soul pearl in front of me?"
An Jingjing smiled and said: "I think the Earth Dragon King means to let you swallow this soul bead to express his gratitude."
Want me to swallow this soul bead? I was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the Earth Dragon King, only to see it nod slightly, as if agreeing with Jing Jing's words.
Looking at the soul beads floating in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my Adam's apple.
Inside the soul bead, the shadow of the unsinkable corpse was still struggling wildly, roaring and trying to rush out.
Is this thing edible?
"Xiao Chengzi, since it's the Earth Dragon King's kindness, don't be polite."
Seeing that I was still hesitant, Lonnie blinked and said to me.
"Yes, Brother Cheng, this is a good thing. Exposure to the outside for a long time will cause the essence of the soul pearl to be lost. Don't waste it!"
Bai Ze also urged anxiously.
Just before I could make up my mind, the cub suddenly flapped its wings and stirred up a stream of air.
Under the influence of the air flow, the soul bead flew straight towards me. I was caught off guard. As soon as I opened my mouth, the soul bead fell into my mouth.
Gulu...
Before I could swallow, I felt the soul bead pass through my throat and fall directly into my abdominal cavity.
Suddenly, a stream of air rose up and traveled along the abdominal cavity to the limbs. I only felt the heat steaming inside my body. It was as if my whole body was being roasted on a hot pan. Soon I was sweating profusely and could not stand steadily.
That stream of air did not stop there, but repeatedly impacted my eight extraordinary meridians, wave after wave. It was only when I was staring at stars and almost collapsed that the bursts of impact gradually subsided.
I slowly opened my eyes, took a long breath, and suddenly felt extremely relaxed. The feeling of exhaustion just now had disappeared, and my body seemed to be filled with incomparable power.
At the same time, I felt that the perception of my soul had become extremely sharp. The River Styx, which was originally dark and lifeless, suddenly became lively under my perception.
Hundreds of meters away, the souls of the dead hidden under the River Styx were secretly watching us, trembling. Countless soul fluctuations, strong or weak, came one after another, and I clearly captured them.
I know that this is the effect of swallowing the Unsinkable Corpse Soul Bead. Now the strength of my soul is at least several times higher than before!
"Thank you, Senior Dragon King!"
I faced the adult Earth Dragon King and raised my hands to express my gratitude.
"You're welcome, you saved my son, you deserve it."
The Earth Dragon King's soul fluctuations came through clearly. From this soul fluctuation, I could even tell that this Earth Dragon King was a female.
In other words, she is the mother of this cub.
Originally, I thought that although this Earth Dragon King was powerful, his spiritual intelligence did not seem to be activated much, so I could only feel the soul fluctuations of the Styx Unsinkable Corpse. Now it seems that I was wrong.
There are dead souls in the body of the Styx Unsinkable Corpse, and it was also a human being when it was alive. Therefore, as long as its soul is strong enough, I can easily feel the soul fluctuations it emits.
The Earth Dragon King itself is a creature that lives in the netherworld, and has a cross-species relationship with humans. The soul fluctuations it emits cannot be easily received by humans.
Therefore, I must raise my soul to the corresponding intensity in order to feel the soul fluctuations it emits.
"I am Akali from the Netherworld Dragon Clan. If you need it in the future, you can come to me in the Endless Wasteland."
After the Earth Dragon King sent this message, he carried the Earth Dragon cub, flapped his wings, and flew into the depths of darkness.
I could clearly see that the cub of the Earth Dragon King was lying on its mother's back, waving its wings to me as a farewell.
Soon, the mother and son completely disappeared into the vast black field and disappeared.
Up to this point, I had not recovered from the adventure just now.
Could it be that this is the function of the power of luck?
If I hadn't subconsciously wanted to save the Earth Dragon King's cub, Akali wouldn't have appeared. Then let alone getting this soul bead, I probably wouldn't be able to pass the level of not sinking corpses in the River Styx!
Although before this, Mr. Hu San and Mrs. Kong An both said that each uncharacterized card has millions of merits, and carrying it with you can bring good luck to you.
But I have never had any sense of what this luck is all about. It was only now that I gradually realized it.
The so-called power of luck means that there is a power in the dark to guide you to do good deeds, so as to improve your own luck and achieve positive results.
And unlike what is often said, it takes ten lifetimes of good deeds to get one lifetime of blessings. The uncharacterized rewards are very quick.
Even to the extent that if you do a good deed one second, you will be rewarded the next second.
Of course, I only have nine uncharacterized cards on my body to achieve such an effect. If I only have one, it will probably take some time to get the blessing.
The remaining blank characters have been found, and our mission to the City of Rebirth has been successfully completed. However, there are still many unanswered questions in my mind.
From Liu Yanbing's memory, I have learned that Elder Huo and the other four suspected elders of the wizard group have already entered the City of the Past.
But how come we didn't see any trace of them this time?
In addition, who destroyed the City of the Past, and what happened in the depths of the underworld?
I don't know all this.
In any case, the most important non-character has been obtained. I don’t have time to think about other issues now, and the group is preparing to return along the original route.
