Chapter 144: Fragments? Rifts?
“Who? And there’s such a good thing!”
“Han Tian’s live broadcast exploded?”
Song Jiulai, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Yin Sha Deer, still had time to ask the System what had happened.
The System glanced and said, “A new Player posted on Weibo. They seem quite influential on Weibo, so it’s made our Game sensational again.”
Moreover, the quality of the heat generated was clearly better than when Han Tian posted last time.
Didn’t you see the influx of Energy level up again?
This new influx of emotional energy is worth studying.
Previously, Song Jiulai thought that as long as Han Tian kept live broadcasting, she could earn more Energy, but the reality was not like that.
There was no significant movement in the Energy influx during his live broadcast.
Also, the Sect Sound Transmission requires Song Jiulai to set the rules herself.
Finally, I can transmit sound myself!
Song Jiulai strongly suspected that there was a Supervisor System behind the System, which would open things up at the appropriate time.
She was the one truly playing the Game.
If you haven’t reached the level, you’re not even allowed to unlock functions?
However, the functions opened by the System now seem to only affect the internal Sect, and there are no particularly obvious functions that help Players influence the Yunzhou Continent.
It’s just that there’s no time to study it yet.
As Song Jiulai fought the Yin Sha Deer, she realized that a Tier 4 Demonic Beast was not to be trifled with.
Its life was truly tenacious.
Song Jiulai, who adhered to the tactic of pursuing when the enemy is tired, gave the Yin Sha Deer almost no chance to breathe, having worn it down several times by going back and forth.
Plus, she had an unscientific ability to not need to return to town to buy medicine.
Her combat power at the Foundation Establishment Stage was not low now; after several rounds, the Yin Sha Deer was clearly unable to withstand it.
Intense black mist erupted around its body. This mist was terrifyingly hot, and the heat waves could be felt for miles around, causing panic.
Naturally, others heard the commotion as Song Jiulai fought a Tier 4 Demonic Beast here.
“There’s a Tier 4 Demonic Beast?”
Cultivators who had gone out nearby all hid far away.
Ever since the Demonic Beasts began to gather, some people had sensed that something was wrong, but they were not from the Flying Sparrow Sect or the Longevity Sect, so they naturally did not go to report it.
Now, seeing the black mist spreading, sharp-eyed individuals recognized it as the Tier 4 Demonic Beast, the Yin Sha Deer.
“Yin Sha Deer, this is not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator can deal with…”
And how could there be any Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators training near First Mountain?
They didn’t even dare to come closer to watch.
“Crackling—”
Only the sound of continuous lightning could be heard from within.
Fighting one Yin Sha Deer also cost her three Tier 4 Pills.
Could it be more resilient than those Tai Xuan Sect cultivators!
And the Yin Sha Deer never left that spot, which made it even easier for Song Jiulai to fight.
Finally, when the Yin Sha Deer fell powerlessly, Song Jiulai was a little surprised.
It seemed she had underestimated her own combat power.
As the Yin Sha Deer fell, the surrounding black mist completely dissipated, and that faint glow became even more apparent.
Song Jiulai finally found an opportunity to walk over.
Song Jiulai collected the Yin Sha Deer’s massive corpse into the Sect Warehouse and slowly walked towards the rift.
At this moment, the sky brightened, and a newly risen sun slowly appeared.
Song Jiulai looked up at the sunlight, and a faint glow slowly shone on her face.
Song Jiulai suddenly remembered a question: “Why does this World also have a sun and moon? Is this another Blue Star?”
System: “Guess if I know.”
Song Jiulai looked down, pretending nothing had happened, “What is this thing?”
The place guarded by the Yin Sha Deer was a rift about a person wide. It wasn’t very large, but it attracted attention because it emitted light.
From Song Jiulai’s perspective, she could only see that the rift was very deep, with a cluster of almost dark green light.
This light was almost stagnant, like a pool of water.
Looking down, she couldn’t see what was inside at all.
She tentatively threw a Palm Thunder into it, but there was no reaction.
【Ding, abnormal Energy fluctuation detected. Do you want to charge the Energy Pool? 】
“Huh?”
Song Jiulai’s eyes lit up: “There’s such a good thing? How do I collect it?”
System: “Touch it with your hand.”
Song Jiulai then placed her hand on the edge of the rift.
As soon as she put it down, she shivered.
So, so cold!
It was so cold that it felt like Song Jiulai, when she was still a Mortal, had been thrown into an ice cellar.
But fortunately, it was still within a tolerable range.
As Song Jiulai’s fingertips touched the edge of the rift, the dark green light suddenly and visibly surged into Song Jiulai’s body.
Song Jiulai instantly felt as if her body had been washed with ice water.
She was so cold that she couldn’t stop shivering, and her teeth began to chatter.
Song Jiulai: “…Suddenly I really need to go to the bathroom.”
System: “……”
The digitized Energy Pool also began to rise with visible changes to Song Jiulai.
It soared from over 500.
Song Jiulai knew this Energy was what the System needed, and she was somewhat shocked: “What on earth is this?”
System: “How should I explain it to you? The Energy System of Yunzhou Continent is just one thing in my eyes, so what it is doesn’t matter. What matters is that I can absorb and use it.”
Song Jiulai: “Don’t play these useless games. Just say you don’t know, and I won’t laugh at you.”
System: “You really won’t?”
Song Jiulai: “Actually, I will.”
System: “……”
By bantering with the System, the feeling of being cold all over subsided a lot. Song Jiulai looked down and saw that the dark light was gradually disappearing under her absorption.
But at this very moment.
A cluster of dark light suddenly changed, as if trying to squeeze out of the rift.
Song Jiulai saw that its appearance was like something being squeezed and deformed, but it was absorbed by Song Jiulai before it could take shape.
And that light cluster looked a bit like a Flame Bird.
The difference was that it was only a palm-sized cluster.
Hmm?
“Do Demonic Beasts come out of these rifts?” Song Jiulai proposed this guess, finding it hard to believe, “So the Yin Sha Deer was guarding this place all along?”
System: “Possibly. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain why the Demonic Beasts aren’t coming from Cave Demon Valley.”
Song Jiulai was surprised: “Then I wrongly accused that Demonic Cultivator?”
System: “…Why are you speaking as if you’ve made a grave mistake? It’s too affected.”
Song Jiulai then put on a nonchalant expression: “Just expressing surprise.”
After she absorbed most of the light from the rift, the opening also began to close.
As it closed, Song Jiulai still couldn’t see what was below.
Eventually, the rift became smaller and smaller until it completely closed, and the ground returned to normal.
As if the rift had never appeared.
【Ding: Sect Energy replenishment complete. 】
Now that the Energy was replenished, Song Jiulai didn’t need to be stingy and could now Teleport back to the Sect.
The moment the dark light completely disappeared, someone thousands of miles away suddenly roared.
“A Fragment has disappeared!!”
