“The tide is rising!” Duanmu Yu suddenly shouted from below. It was a pleasant surprise that Lin Yi could easily crush the brain-eating insect, but she didn’t forget the important thing. The tide was already rising, but she didn’t even have time to pick the spirit gra.s.s.

However, the first one to react wasn’t Lin Yi, but the brain-eating insect.

Although it had been tortured into a mud Loach and looked like it was on the verge of collapse, the brain-eating insect still couldn’t change its cruel and cunning nature. After hearing Duanmu Yu’s voice, it immediately drilled out of the mud. It couldn’t do anything to Lin Yi in his dragon form, but it could easily take Duanmu Yu down.

As long as it had a hostage in its hands, it would not be completely defeated, and it would still have the capital to bargain!

Duanmu Yu was greatly shocked. He immediately used [fallen leaves in autumn] to hide himself. However, before she could escape from the place, the mysterious aura that had appeared earlier suddenly descended once again. Moreover, the pressure was much more powerful and violent than before. It was a trio!

Duanmu Yu instantly revealed himself. At this moment, the brain-eating insect was only one step away from her. It looked like it was about to be caught by the other party. It was simply too late for her to escape. At this moment, a Dragon Claw with Eight Trigrams patterns on it descended from the sky.

Pfft! The brain-eating insect’s head was grabbed by a claw and then it was pressed into the mud. No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn’t break free.

“Are you alright?” Lin Yi looked at Duanmu Yu, or more accurately, the Dragon looked at Duanmu Yu.

“I’m … I’m fine …” Duanmu Yu knew that the other party was Lin Yi, but he was still a little fl.u.s.tered to be looked at by a Dragon at such a close distance. At the same time, he felt a little excited. This was an unprecedented experience. After all, it was a Dragon, a legendary existence!

“It’s good that you’re fine. ” Lin Yi didn’t even finish his sentence when the brain-eating insect’s head was grabbed by him, but its snake body wrapped around him like crazy, and it was extremely strong too. After being whipped twice, even Lin Yi in his dragon form couldn’t take it. The eight trigrams on his body suddenly dimmed a lot, and it started to show signs of s.h.i.+fting and disappearing.

Not good! Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that the time limit was up, and he couldn’t maintain his dragon form any longer. He quickly gathered all his remaining Qi into that Dragon Claw, and with a strong force, the brain-eating insect’s hard skull exploded like a watermelon, turning into a thick pile of dirty water in the mud, and the smell was pungent.

At the same time, the Dragon’s form disappeared, and Lin Yi quickly returned to his Yuan spirit form. His face was pale, and he was obviously weak.

“How are you?” Duanmu Yu quickly held him up. She didn’t know the exact situation, but she could guess that it had something to do with the essence of “rejuvenation of withered leaves” she told Lin Yi before. Lin Yi’s sudden Dragon Transformation was probably for reference. Even if it wasn’t the same thing as “rejuvenation of withered wood,” similar methods would have similar side effects, and he’d be weak for a while after using it.

“It’s alright. With the Holy water pearl, nothing major will happen. ” Lin Yi forced a smile.

The after-effects of [rejuvenation of withered leaves] came with a long period of weakness-anywhere from three months to a year and a half. Duanmu Yu was able to recover so quickly not only because of her talent, but also because she wasn’t using the complete version of [rejuvenation of withered leaves]. Lin Yi was using the mutated version of [rejuvenation of withered leaves], so the after-effects weren’t as bad, but it still couldn’t be underestimated. After all, the consumption was too great.

Strictly speaking, Lin Yi wasn’t really injured because he was crushed by the brain-eating insect. He just used up too much energy, but the problem was that this wasn’t a normal consumption. It was the consumption of opening the last self-preservation valve of his spirit, which was serious.

With his spirit exhausted to this point, it was no better than being injured. Luckily, the Holy water pearl came in handy. Although it couldn’t replenish his spiritual energy, it could at least stabilize his spirit. Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldn’t be able to retain his consciousness at all and would’ve fallen into a self-dormant state.

He used the sacred water pearl to stabilize his spirit while absorbing the last bit of consciousness energy from the star Ink coal. Lin Yi knew that he had to recover his strength as soon as possible, or he’d be in trouble if something happened again.

Duanmu Yu didn’t waste any more time and turned to Lin Yi,”Get on!”

“You’re piggybacking me?” Lin Yi grinned and added subconsciously, “I’m a man. ”

“Nonsense, I know you’re a man. What’s wrong with me carrying you? you even hugged me before, so we’re even!” Duanmu Yu urged. She didn’t put as much importance on the difference between a man and a woman as other girls did, or she would’ve been too embarra.s.sed to show her face to anyone after being carried by Lin Yi in her undergarments. She wouldn’t be acting so openly with Lin Yi like this.

“Alright,” he said. If even Duanmu Yu didn’t mind, Lin Yi didn’t mind either. The tide was rising again, and he didn’t have the energy to move around. He had no choice.

Lin Yi immediately climbed onto Duanmu Yu’s back. She was a tough woman, but he could still smell a refres.h.i.+ng fragrance from her neck. Perhaps it was because she spent a lot of time with the leaves in the spirit leaf sect, but the fragrance was different from that of a normal woman. It was more like an ancient wood scent rather than a body scent, and it actually made him feel refreshed and alert.

“Be good and don’t breathe into my neck!” Duanmu Yu frowned and spat.

“I didn’t do it on purpose …” Lin Yi smiled bitterly. He had overexerted himself, and it was natural for him to gasp for breath. Did he really have to hold it in at a time like this?

“Then don’t breathe in there. Also, why are you so light?” Duanmu Yu mumbled. She thought that a man like Lin Yi would be at least a hundred and forty pounds, but she didn’t expect him to be so light on her back. If it wasn’t for Lin Yi’s arms around her neck, she was afraid that a gust of wind would blow Lin Yi away.

“I’m a primordial spirit. Of course, I’m much lighter than you.” Lin Yi smiled bitterly again. Normally, it wouldn’t be this light, but he used up too much energy right now. It was already very difficult to maintain the form of an essence spirit. He didn’t have time to care about it.

Duanmu Yu responded with an “Oh,” but didn’t retreat to the sh.o.r.e immediately. Instead, he ran towards the consciousness gra.s.s. She and Lin Yi fought with their lives for this thing, and now that Lin Yi had defeated the brain-eating insect, of course, they couldn’t leave this treasure behind.
