This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Cut off a piece of clothing with a dagger, wrap it around your arm, bite one end with your teeth, grab the other end with your right hand, and tie it tightly to your arm.

Fortunately, it's my left hand, so it doesn't affect my use of weapons and talismans.

Nevertheless, this only alleviated the spread of the toxins and did not solve the problem.

Then she took out an ice talisman and, while dodging the black ants, used it on her numb arm to freeze it.

This will prevent the toxin from spreading.

The dragon on the stone gate struggled to break free, and the stone gate shattered with a crash.

Ye Lianxue continued to attack and dodge the giant black ants.

Despite dodging left and right, she was still ambushed. The dagger had just been thrust out when it flew out of her hand, startling her, and she was hit hard again.

Watching the dagger fly into the mouth of a dragon in the distance.

I witnessed the dragon swallow the dagger into its mouth, and with a few crunches, the dagger was chewed away and disappeared.

Immediately following was a deafening roar, "Roar, roar!" The sound reverberated in all directions.

With a roar, the ice seal on Lianxue was broken, and as the poison spread, she fainted.

What Ye Lianxue didn't see was that the moment the dagger was chewed, the ruby ​​detached and flew into the dragon's eye.

This made the eyes even more vivid, like blood. The giant black ants were terrified by the roar, and they were routed, returning to their original state and burrowing back underground.

Ye Lianxue was left lying alone on the ground, while the dragon circled and weaved in the sky several times before finally landing on the ground.

A golden light flashed and surrounded Ye Lianxue, plunging the area into silence.

Amidst the azure expanse, both the man and the bird heard the dragon's roar. The man in the fox mask frowned in confusion and turned to look.

"Master, what are you looking at? That's not a dragon!"

The man in the fox mask hesitated for a moment, puzzled, "Isn't that Long Xiao? How can you say it's not a dragon?"

The colorful bird tilted its head and looked towards the source of the sound. "Although this sound is the same as a dragon's, it doesn't have the majesty of a dragon. How should I put it? Anyway, I just can't sense its presence."

The man in the fox mask looked in the direction from which the voice came, where ripples seemed to be spreading in front of him. A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips. "You mean, there's no real dragon's aura, right?"

The colorful bird nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's exactly it. This voice is impeccable, but it lacks the oppressive feeling of racial bloodline."

"That's alright, as long as it won't affect us. Besides, we've already found a way to leave this place." The man moved his fingers, tapping on the ripples of water.

The colorful bird tilted its head, its eyes full of surprise, "Wow! So fast! Master, you're amazing! I admire you so much!"

The man stopped what he was doing, sighed, and said, "Stop flattering me, don't bother me, just be quiet for a while."

The colorful bird was quite fitting for the occasion, covering its beak with its wings, but its eyes were still constantly moving.

As his fingers worked tirelessly, all the surrounding blue light finally converged beneath his fingers, forming a palm-sized circular object. The man continued to increase his speed.

The blue gradually increased, changing from light blue to dark blue, then to inky blue, until finally everything around was clearly visible, and there was no more blue.

The colorful bird half-covered its beak with its wings, one eye looking around. Seeing this, it opened its beak and remained motionless. It was very surprised! It was also afraid of making a sound and disturbing its owner, because it realized that this was the most crucial moment to finish, and it could not afford to be distracted, so it remained motionless.

Finally, after the man used both hands, he placed his last finger down, and with a clatter, an object that looked like a mirror fell to the ground.

What comes into view is a desolate desert and scattered bones, half-buried in the sand. In the distance is a stone gate, but it is also a very dilapidated gate, with scattered traces showing that it used to be a gate.

The colorful bird finally breathed a sigh of relief and chirped, "Wow! Master, you're so amazing! What is this? What is this? Quickly pick it up and take a look."

The man in the fox mask was still looking around when he heard the bird's words. He bent down, picked up the item, and examined it in his palm.

"Oh my! What a wonderful thing! What a lucky thing! Master is so fortunate!" The colorful bird hopped and skipped happily on the man's shoulder.

"Hmm, it's a good item, the Kunqian Water Mirror." The man turned the mirror over, saw the words engraved on its back, and silently read them aloud.

The colorful bird was no longer on its master's shoulder, but instead began to circle and fly. "Good stuff, good stuff. It is said to be the third eye of the Qilin-like Snore-Snore Beast. There are no more than three left in the world. Moreover, it can summon all water sources and mark the source of water for its own use. It can also transform into a space, just like before. I wonder if it is true."

The man ignored the birds' excitement and instead looked thoughtfully toward the dilapidated stone gate, where a figure was faintly visible.

He put away the Kunqian Water Mirror, saying, "Maybe, we'll only know after we try." Then he got up and left.

"Then let's try it now, Master! Hey? Master, where are you going?"

The man didn't answer, but ran over in a few steps and saw a small figure lying quietly on the ground. However, her lips were somewhat purple, which was clearly a symptom of poisoning.

Bending down to brush the dust from her face, she revealed a cinnabar mole between her brows, which accentuated her unparalleled allure.

Without time to think, he hurriedly took out an antidote pill, pried open Ye Lianxue's mouth, put the pill in her mouth, took out a water pouch to give her some water, and then used his spiritual power to help her swallow the pill. Watching her throat move to make sure she had swallowed the pill, he withdrew his hand.

I straightened my clothes, which weren't too messy, and sat cross-legged.

The colorful bird tilted its head, looking on curiously, "Master, when did you become so kind? Shouldn't you just stand by and watch someone die if they're unconscious? Why were you so kind as to save her? And even used such a good pill..."

Before it could finish speaking, its mouth was sealed shut by spiritual power. "You're too impetuous."

After dealing with the noisy birds, the man felt the world was quiet and closed his eyes to meditate.

A few feet away from him was Ye Lianxue, who was still asleep. Even Hei Yu was asleep; otherwise, it would have risked its life to protect her.

Beside Ye Lianxue, a sword lay silently planted in the ground, like a guardian.

Silence fell, broken only by the rustling of the wind and sand.

After the colorful bird could no longer speak, it also learned to be obedient. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it reached its limit of patience, jumped onto its owner's hand, rubbed its head against him, and hugged his hand with its wings.

The man frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and said, "What? Can't hold on anymore? Giving up so quickly, huh?"

The bird nodded sensibly, and nodded again.

The man smiled and said, "Alright, I forgive you. Will you still mock me next time?"

Colorful birds shake their heads like rattles.

With a slight twitch of the finger, the bird opened its beak, panting, "Master, you're so hurtful—oh no, you're hurting the bird."

The man gave a look that said, "You want to shut up?"

The bird immediately covered its beak with its wings, "I don't want to, I don't want to at all. When will my master wake up? Why is she still not responding? Could she be... dead?" The bird swallowed the rest of its words.

Because it saw its master's death stare.

Fortunately, the owner's attention was quickly diverted.

Ye Lianxue felt as if she had fallen into a deep dream. The people there were very powerful and dressed differently from those in the present. They were skilled in talismans and were also taller. They lived peacefully in a beautiful valley where beasts roamed, yet it was very tranquil.

Suddenly a white light flashed, stinging her eyes.
