Chapter 2357: Crush Them (2)
Only half a day away from their destination, Shen Yanxiao had the Dragon God stop in the mountains.
During this time, Tang Nazhi and others rested and adjusted, making the nal preparations, while Shen
Yanxiao waited for Xiu to unlock the last layer of her dwarven seal.
Tang Nazhi, Bian, and the Dragon God brought the six elemental spirits not far away; Yu Lei was also
carried over to look after the little furballs.
Meanwhile, Vermillion Bird and Taotie stayed with Shen Yanxiao to protect her.
“Xiu, can you do it now?” Shen Yanxiao sat on the grass. She was still worried about Xiu’s situation.
These days, Xiu was in a deep slumber; he would only wake up for a very short period of time in a day. His
last battle with Satan caused him to lose a lot of his strength, which left his soul a little weary.
Had it not been for the eradication of the experimental subjects, Shen Yanxiao really didn’t want him to
waste any more energy, but she didn’t have much time. She had to leave the Storm Continent and go to
the oceans as soon as possible to nd their last ally, the merfolk.
And even after she successfully gathered all their allies, Shen Yanxiao still had a lot of work to do.
She still had a lot of sacred tools to build, and they still had to take the Phantom members to the last
temple to receive the inheritance of divine power. There were so many things waiting for her to nish; she
really couldn’t aord to delay.
“No problem.” Xiu’s voice sounded faintly, and it was still as tranquil and serene as before. However, when
this voice fell in Shen Yanxiao’s heart lake, it aroused a series of waves..
Despite Xiu’s eorts to hide his fatigue, Shen Yanxiao was still acutely aware of the instability of his soul.
Apart from recruiting allies as quickly as possible, Shen Yanxiao was in a hurry to see the merfolk because
of another reason, and that was Xiu…
Only when they returned to the Barren Land of her Radiance Continent could Xiu restore his strength in a
short time. There, he could stabilize his soul by absorbing the dark elements emitted by the demons.
“Don’t force yourself.” Shen Yanxiao was still worried.
“There are some things that have to be done. It’s just that after I lift this seal for you, I will have to sleep
for a while, so you have to be careful when you go to the home of the merfolk in the future.” What Xiu was
concerned about was not himself, but the situation that Shen Yanxiao was going to face. According to the
previous awakenings, soon after she arrived at the home of the merfolk, there was a great possibility that
the merfolk blood in her body would also be awakened. However, without Xiu, relying on her own
strength to unlock the seven layers of this seal… it was likely to be quite dicult, and it might take some
time.
If possible, Xiu did not want such a situation to happen. It was just, the last time Satan tried to capture
Shen Yanxiao, he exerted a hundred and ten percent of his power. After the beast tide, Satan constantly
absorbed the vitality of other creatures to strengthen his soul, and this made him stronger and stronger.
On the other hand, although Xiu had been absorbing the dark elements to stabilize his soul during this
period, each time he lifted Shen Yanxiao’s seals, it consumed part of his strength. Furthermore, in order to
ensure her safety, he had joined battles several times. That time in the Dragon Cemetery, his anger and
killing intent broke out to the apex, easily killing the enemy in a single blow. But the cost of this was huge.
But Xiu never mentioned all of this to Shen Yanxiao. She had no idea that it took a lot of eort to solve the
seals in her body.
