Tragic death in the previous life: After rebirth, the sickly prince pampers her every night

Chapter 3043 She is the key to breaking the deadlock

At this critical moment.

"boom!"

A sliver of light appeared on the spirit beast ring in Yang Rui's hand.

A dragon's might mixed with overwhelming killing intent emanated from it.

That sudden outburst was like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years suddenly erupting.

Although Yang Rui tried his best to suppress it, the grief and rage that originated from the depths of his bloodline still leaked out through that crack.

It was as if an invisible behemoth was roaring in the air, and the surrounding space was visibly distorted.

The ghost soldier holding the spiked club suddenly froze, as if he had been frozen in place, the club hanging in mid-air, unable to fall.

He stared wide-eyed in terror, feeling a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if he were being stared at by some terrifying being.

Not only him, but all the ghosts around, even the Candle Dragons who were working, stopped what they were doing and looked at this side with surprise and doubt.

"Who goes there?!"

A leading ghost general roared, his ghost-headed sword instantly unsheathed as he warily scanned his surroundings.

"Oops!"

Yang Rui's face was ashen, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, which he forced down.

The ring's backlash caused him excruciating pain, but he was even more worried about being exposed.

At this critical moment, Yang Susu made a move.

She remained completely calm, her phoenix eyes clear and cold.

She slammed her left hand on Yang Rui's shoulder, and a vast divine power surged into Yang Rui's body like a river overflowing its banks, forcibly sealing the ring that was about to explode.

At the same time, she moved her right hand rapidly through the air, her fingertips leaving afterimages.

"The wind rises, the clouds surge, and illusions vanish!"

With a low shout, an invisible wave instantly spread out.

The spatial distortion caused by the leak of the dragon's might miraculously subsided at this moment.

Instead, a strange, unexpected wind blew in.

"call--"

The gale whipped up pebbles and dust from the ground, creating a small whirlwind that swept right past the ghost soldier wielding the spiked club.

"Ouch!"

The ghost soldier's eyes were blinded by the sandstorm, and his spiked club veered off course, crashing heavily into a nearby rock, sending sparks flying.

"Damn it! Where did this evil wind come from?!" The ghost soldier cursed and rubbed his eyes. The feeling of being stared at by a terrifying being had disappeared, replaced by a look of gloom.

The surrounding ghosts breathed a sigh of relief and put away their weapons.

"I knew it! What else could be in this godforsaken place besides these useless dragons?" The leading ghost general sneered, thinking that the palpitation he had felt earlier was just an illusion.

"Alright, alright, stop standing there! Get back to work!"

"Anyone who dares to slack off, I'll skin them alive!"

The crisis is temporarily over.

Behind the pile of rocks, Yang Rui leaned against the rock wall, completely exhausted, panting heavily, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"That was close..." Xiao Huang patted his chest, his face pale with fright.

"It almost turned into roasted grass."

Yang Susu withdrew her hand, but her gaze remained solemn.

She knew that although her brief concealment had fooled these low-level ghosts, it probably wouldn't last long if there were higher-level experts present.

"Little Dragon," Yang Susu said sternly to the Candle Dragon in the ring through her divine sense, "I know you hate, I know you're in pain."

“But if you lose control again, we will all die here.”

"When that time comes, who will save your people?"

"Who will save that little girl?"

There was a deathly silence inside the ring.

After a long silence, Zhulong's hoarse and suppressed voice finally came: "I... understand."

"I won't... act impulsively again."

"sorry!"

He saw it.

In that instant, if Yang Susu hadn't intervened, that little girl would have been smashed into a pulp by the spiked club.

He almost killed her.

By this time, the riots over there had subsided.

Although the ghost soldier missed the little girl, he still kicked her in anger, cursing, "You little brat, you're lucky to be alive!"

"Get up and get to work!"

"If you dare bite anyone again, I'll pull all your teeth out!"

The little girl curled up on the ground, trembling all over, but she still managed to get up despite the excruciating pain.

She limped over to the old priest and tried her best to help her up.

"Grandmother... Waaah... Grandmother, are you alright?"

A murky tear rolled down the old priestess's single eye. She reached out her withered hand and tremblingly touched the little girl's face: "Silly child... Grandmother is alright."

"Forget about Grandma... Go quickly... Get away from Grandma..."

"I won't leave, I want to stay with my grandmother!" The little girl shook her head stubbornly, clinging tightly to the old priest's clothes.

Seeing this scene, the Candle Dragon in the ring felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

That's him back then.

He was just as helpless and desperate back then.

He watched helplessly as his parents died right in front of him.

Every time he recalls those scenes, his heart aches terribly.

"We need to think of a way," Yang Susu said, looking ahead.

“Since that old priestess can sense the Heart of the Styx, then she is the key.”

"She is the key to breaking the deadlock."

"But those ghosts are watching too closely."

Yang Rui frowned and said, "Moreover, that old priest has a broken leg and can't walk at all."

“Then let them ‘invite’ us over.” Yang Susu’s lips curled into a cold smile.

She turned to look at Xiao Lan and whispered a few instructions.

Xiao Lan immediately understood. With a flick of her sword, she transformed into a faint blue light and silently disappeared into the ground.

After a while.

"Boom!"

A loud bang suddenly came from deep within the mine.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely dense black mist surged out from the ground, instantly filling the entire mine pit.

"What's going on?!"

The ghost general was terrified and rushed over to check.

From the spot where the black gas was gushing out, a powerful energy fluctuation that sent chills down one's spine could be seen.

The intensity of the fluctuation even surpassed that of all the previous ores.

"This...this is..."

The ghost general's eyes widened, his face filled with wild joy: "Could it be a symbiotic mineral of the Heart of the Styx?!"

"Quickly, go and report to the Left General!"

While the ghosts were in disarray, Yang Susu, along with Yang Rui, quietly blended into the chaotic crowd and approached the old priest and the little girl.

Chaos is the best cover.

The sudden surge of black energy was actually Xiao Lan detonating a long-accumulated evil energy acupoint underground.

Although it wasn't the Heart of the Styx, its dense aura of Yin and evil was enough to make those greedy ghosts lose their minds.

All the ghost soldiers rushed toward the vent, scrambling to seize the so-called "associated mineral."
