Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 93: Green Heart

After walking for more than three hours following the halo in front, Liu Qingqing behind him was almost numb from walking. It was not because she was tired, but because she could not see the end and did not know when she would reach the end if she continued walking like this.

Finally, after the two of them followed for another half an hour, the ball of light and shadow stopped. No matter how Xiao Yichen stimulated it, it did not move at all and just floated in the air.

"It seems we've arrived." Xiao Yichen muttered to himself, and then he struck the ball of light with his palm. The next moment, the sound of the stone statue breaking was heard again, and the illusion slowly dissipated, replaced by darkness.

Liu suddenly couldn't see the surroundings clearly, and Liu Qingqing was frightened. Fortunately, Xiao Yichen immediately held her and prevented her from screaming. He once again condensed a ball of heavenly tribulation power in his hand as a light, and then he could see the surrounding scene clearly.

At this moment, they were no longer in the temple, but returned to the cave. However, unlike before, the originally narrow passage was now extremely spacious, and there were no longer any forks in the road around. Xiao Yichen looked around and found that apart from the fact that the space was a little bigger, there seemed to be no other changes. There were those thick roots everywhere.

At this moment, a scream came from Liu Qingqing's mouth. He immediately turned around and saw Liu Qingqing looking up with trembling all over. Following her line of sight, Xiao Yichen also looked over there. When he saw her, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. His body shook unconsciously and he subconsciously protected Liu Qingqing behind him.

The reason why the two reacted so strongly was that at this moment, above their heads, a heart as big as a bull was beating non-stop. It did not make any sound and was covered with green mucus.

The blood vessel-like threads around the heart become thicker as they are farther away from the heart. They are exactly the thick roots in the cave. This strange appearance seems to come from another world, making people's scalps tingle.

"Qingqing, leave here the same way you came." Xiao Yichen stared at the heart above his head, his whole body shining brightly, ready to strike at any time, his body retreating step by step. Liu Qingqing didn't dare to say a word behind him, for fear of attracting the attention of the heart.

The two arrived at the entrance, and just as Liu Qingqing stepped on it, the heart above her head suddenly shook. This time it was different from before, and a dull heartbeat sound came into their ears.

Xiao Yichen felt his internal organs shaking instantly, but fortunately, he could bear it. However, Liu Qingqing spat out a mouthful of blood from her mouth and fell to the ground exhausted.

"Qingqing." Xiao Yichen was shocked and hurriedly helped her up, mobilizing the surrounding wood elements to flow into her body. Fortunately, she was treated in time and did not faint.

"It seems that you don't intend to let us leave." Xiao Yichen's face darkened. If he had known that he would meet them, he really shouldn't have brought Liu Qingqing in.

"Brother..." Liu Qingqing called him weakly. At this time, Xiao Zi climbed out of her arms, looked at Liu Qingqing who was being held in her arms, then looked at the heart, hissed, and rushed directly towards the heart.

Another dull heartbeat was heard, and Liu Qingqing, who had not yet recovered, fainted.

"Xiao Zi, come back." Xiao Yichen shouted. If he let Xiao Zi continue to attack like this, Liu Qingqing might die here.

Xiao Zi obediently returned to her side. Xiao Yichen lifted it up and said:

"Xiao Zi, you weren't affected by the sound wave just now? Then can you drag Qing Qing?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zi nodded, crawled to Liu Qingqing's head, wrapped his tail around the back of her collar, and with a little force, he actually dragged her away.

"Okay, Xiao Zi, the moment I make a move, you must immediately take Qingqing away from here and just run forward. After you get out, find a safe place outside to wait for me." After saying that, seeing Xiao Zi nod again, Xiao Yichen patted the other's little head, then turned his body to the heart, his eyes slowly turning cold.

Dozens of spiritual swords slowly appeared around him. He put his hands together and kept forming seals. Various wind blades and fire dragons appeared from behind him.

"Xiao Zi, now is the time, run..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yichen controlled the killing move he had just summoned and rushed towards the heart. Xiao Zi immediately dragged Liu Qingqing to run backwards. The next moment they stepped out of this place, the heart above was about to tremble again, but was beaten back by Xiao Yichen's attack.

Seeing that he had no worries, Xiao Yichen let go of his hands and feet. A fire dragon appeared in front of him and pounced towards his heart. Then a shining spiritual sword appeared in his hand. After the fire dragon was resisted by the opponent, he stabbed it with the sword.

As a result, it was blocked by a nearby root, and the spirit sword fell into it. Then a huge force came from the root and knocked him away. Feeling a sweetness in his throat, Xiao Yichen was a little shocked.

As if provoked, his heart skipped a beat again, and all the roots around him began to wriggle together, like giant snakes, constantly slapping towards Xiao Yichen's position. Fortunately, the space here was spacious, giving him a place to hide.

Back and forth, Xiao Yichen and the heart were evenly matched. The roots controlled by the heart were extremely powerful, but their speed could not keep up with him. The opponent seemed to be very afraid of the power of heavenly tribulation in his body, and every time it would block Xiao Yichen's attack even at the cost of having a large number of roots cut off.

"Haha, it's easy to deal with if there is a weakness." Xiao Yichen muttered to himself and stood still. Just when the surrounding roots were about to hit him, his body suddenly emitted a dazzling light and his whole body was enveloped by the power of heavenly tribulation.

He punched a root that was attacking him, and the power of the heavenly tribulation quickly eroded along the opponent's body. In just a moment, the root broke into pieces. If the heart had not reacted quickly and cut off the connection with the root, the power of the heavenly tribulation would have been transmitted to it as well.

The space here is big, but that is for Xiao Yichen. It is a bit crowded for these thick roots here, and Xiao Yichen can easily catch one.

Within a few minutes, the roots controlled by the heart here turned into dust, leaving only the heart above.

Without anything to control, the heart was ready to use the same sound wave method as at the beginning, but Xiao Yichen did not give it any chance at all. Before it began to vibrate, Xiao Yichen had already come to its side and hit it hard with a punch. Under the destruction of the power of the heavenly tribulation, the heart actually became somewhat transparent, and a crystal could be vaguely seen in its center.

"Fairy Core Crystal?"

Xiao Yichen was shocked. Although he had never seen it before, his intuition told him that this was the purpose of his coming here.

"I never thought a piece of debris could actually transform into a spirit. Interesting."

With a light rebuke, he did not stop the movement of his hands at all, and continued to attack the heart transformed by the fairy core crystal, with fists, spirit swords, various fire dragons, wind blades, and earth spikes. As long as he could mobilize them, they were all sent towards the opponent.

This attack lasted for a full five minutes, almost exhausting the power of the heavenly tribulation in Xiao Yichen's body. However, the opponent seemed to have an endless source of vitality. No matter what kind of injury he suffered, he could recover immediately in the next moment. His face became visibly anxious.

"If I keep wasting my energy like this, once the power of the Heavenly Tribulation in my body is exhausted, won't I become a lamb to be slaughtered?"

Slowly stopping the attack and retreating to the side, the heart did not continue to pursue, but instead grew new thin threads around it, which slowly turned into the previous roots, preparing for the next battle.

When Xiao Yichen saw this scene, he had already planned to retreat. He looked at the green heart above his head and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"What the hell, didn't Old Tree say before that the Fairy Core Crystal is a combination of various elements? Why would I bother fighting with a bunch of elements? Can't I just swallow and absorb them directly?"

Gritting his teeth, he rushed towards the opponent again, cut off the newly grown roots with a sword, and regardless of the nausea, he hugged the heart covered with green mucus and bit it.

He did not feel the nausea he had imagined. On the contrary, the moment he took the bite, an extremely pure wood element spread throughout his body and was absorbed by the power of the heavenly tribulation. With just this one bite, he instantly recovered most of what he had just consumed.

"Oh my god, it's very nourishing..."
