Chapter 258 Lu Wu
Tell it you're saving Lu Wu, and it will do it.
What is the story behind this?
Lu Wu is the guardian deity of the mountains, while Zhu Jiuyin is known as the god of Zhongshan. Both of these demons, who exist in the name of mountain gods, greatly revere Lu Wu.
She did see Zhujiuyin on the map just now. She was just laughing at it for hiding here, and now she's being asked to deliver food? Besides, in the North, she stole Zhujiuyin's house and emptied it of all its spirit crystals.
The small beast inside the cave rolled over, causing the entire cave to shake. Even Jiuyu slightly raised his eyelids. The dragon vein shimmered with light, so bright it was almost blinding.
Ning Xiaoxi felt her heart pounding. [Okay, okay, stop pounding, I'll go, alright!] It seems Lu Wu is truly the darling of the group; everyone wants to help it.
She leaped up, and Lingjingxin, clinging to her back, spread her wings again, soaring across the red sea.
I opened the map and located Zhu Jiuyin's position. Wait, she's run away? What does that mean? Is she hiding from her?
"Flap! flap!" The flapping of wings increased in frequency, the target was carefully located, and the approach was swift.
Sensing her pursuit, Zhu Jiuyin stopped. It simply didn't want to clash with the little beast, but if it really came straight for it, it wouldn't be polite.
"boom!"
The seawater surged skyward, directly engulfing Ning Xiaoxi who was in mid-air.
"Shh!"
Ning Xiaoxi folded her wings and braked. He actually started attacking her right away? "I'm not here to fight. I need your help!" Regardless of whether it would work, she shouted it out first, "I saw Lu Wu. I want to ask you for help to save it."
The towering sea instantly calmed down, and a slender figure glided across the surface, standing on the water in a sea-blue robe.
Ning Xiaoxi gently flapped her wings and slowly landed, hovering opposite the boy. She glanced at him and was terrified. "Boss, since we've transformed, why not add some facial features? This looks a bit scary."
The boy's face was even whiter and smoother than the white mask, like a white boiled egg.
"Oh, I forgot." A soft voice came, followed by a small mouth, then a small nose, small eyes, thin eyebrows, and soft black hair.
Ning Xiaoxi couldn't help but swallow hard. What did this girl's features look like? She was even prettier than her. "Uh, girl?"
Her delicate features revealed a hint of shyness, and her soft voice carried a touch of coquettishness, "My name is Xiao Jiu, a name given to me by Lord Lu Wu."
Ning Xiaoxi was completely stunned; this little beauty was too adorable. Xiao Jiu, a black stone? Could it be that in Lu Wu's eyes, such a large Zhu Jiuyin was just a black stone?
"You just said you saw Lord Lu Wu? Where is he?" Xiao Jiu wrinkled her little nose, not liking being stared at for so long.
"Ah! Ah, it's in the trial grounds, but that's just Lu Wu's physical body. His soul should be guarding the Western Source at the bottom of the sea. Help me find his soul, and we'll go save his physical body."
Xiao Jiu asked in confusion, "Is it on the seabed here?"
"It was precisely because I couldn't find anything on this seabed that I wanted to ask for your help; otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you."
Xiao Jiu blinked, understood Ning Xiaoxi's meaning, turned around and plunged into the sea, transforming into her original form and diving directly in.
Ning Xiaoxi quickly followed. Was this big shot the type to act without even giving a heads-up?
Ning Xiaoxi, who had just retrieved her spirit crystal heartbeat and entered the sea, was about to summon the little red fish when the mermaid, who hadn't appeared for many days, enveloped her once again. Although the figure was somewhat ethereal, it had nonetheless appeared, and Ning Xiaoxi was overjoyed, but unfortunately, she couldn't hug it.
Mermaids move very fast in the sea. Although Xiao Jiu is the original form, she is not the original body. She is only ten zhang long and she slides smoothly into the sea.
The sea here is very clear, and sea fish and marine life can be seen swimming by in the distance. After diving a certain distance, there are only faintly glowing plankton and some large marine creatures.
As we descended again, even the sea creatures disappeared. The underwater scenery became more varied, with seaweed swaying in the water, towering underwater peaks, and steep cliffs.
After traveling about a hundred miles underwater, an underwater ruin appeared before us.
The ruins are not large, but the layout of the houses is clearly visible. The thick stone walls are covered with green moss, and the wide streets are slippery with wet grass, making it impossible to step on them. Every now and then, one, two, three, or four small fish of various colors dart from one house to another.
The house was ordinary, the street was ordinary, everything was ordinary. If it hadn't been underwater, no one would have given it a second glance; it was just too ordinary.
Xiao Jiu did not enter the ruins; she hovered outside, gazing intently.
The mermaid hovered beside Xiao Jiu with Ning Xiaoxi in tow, together looking at the ruins that had been sleeping on the seabed for who knows how long.
As she watched, she noticed that Xiao Jiu's eyes gradually turned sad. The deep sorrow infected Ning Xiaoxi's emotions. What she saw before her was no longer a ruin, but a broken soul, and the soul's aura constantly dissipating as the seawater washed over it.
The enormous tiger has beautiful tiger stripes on its body, and its human face has a calm and majestic expression. Its nine long tails sway up and down with the waves.
Tiny specks of starlight floated up from the tiger's body, and within the starlight lay the celestial garden it once ruled.
Surrounding Lu Wu were some strange and wondrous spirits.
Those spirits called "Tu Lu" are like sheep with four horns; they are not grass-eating sheep but human-eating spirits.
There is also a group of birds called "Qinyuan," which sting like bees, but are as big as small ducks. A sting from them will kill any bird or beast, and will wither any tree.
The fruit hanging on that tree is called a sand pear, which looks like a plum but has no seed. If a person eats it, they can travel across the ocean and walk on water without drowning.
Once upon a time, to the west of Kunlun Mountain, there lived wondrous phoenixes and luan birds. They wore snakes on their heads, trod on snakes, and had red snakes coiled around their chests. To the north of Kunlun Mountain, there were wondrous plants such as the pearl tree, the jade tree, the jade tree, and the immortal tree.
The scene under the starlight was magical and beautiful, tranquil and harmonious—a peace and harmony that Ning Xiaoxi had never experienced before.
Xiao Jiu's body had grown considerably, its slender form coiling around the entire ruins, encircling that strange scene. Endless demonic power seeped from its surface, nourishing the broken divine soul. The moment the demonic power surged in, a chorus of birdsong and fragrant flowers filled the air. The once tranquil scene instantly came alive; birds took flight, flowers bloomed, fruits fell to the ground, wisps of earth slithered around tree trunks, phoenixes and luan birds sang in unison, multicolored light flowed, branches swayed, verdant greenery flourished, and a delicate fragrance wafted through the air.
