Underground, Huang Ziyue, Bai Chaosi, and Gu Fangqi were so shocked they could hardly breathe.
The sight of her at that moment
was deeply seared into their eyes and etched into their hearts.
It was a sight so stunning, so unexpected, and so wonderfully surprising.
’So it was her.’
’She was the one who came to save them.’
’She was the one who rescued them from the depths.’
At that moment, no words could describe what the three of them were feeling.
Under their watchful eyes, Moo Moo shrank bit by bit, returning to the form of a cow.
The fissure in the ground sealed itself shut once more.
Mu Silin and his two subordinates straightened up and walked over as well.
Huang Ziyue and the other two stood frozen, not snapping out of their stupor until Shen Yue approached, riding Moo Moo.
Shen Yue looked at them.
"Are you hurt?"
Hearing her voice, the three of them slowly turned their gazes to the cow she was riding.
They opened their mouths but couldn’t speak, then simply shook their heads.
They weren’t hurt.
Seeing this, Shen Yue said, "Let me introduce you. This is my new pet, Moo Moo."
The expressions on their faces shifted constantly.
’A pet?’
’Shen Yue took this creature that could shatter the heavens and made it her pet?’
’That was simply too incredible.’
’How in the world did she manage that?’
The group returned to the bamboo house.
On the way there, Mu Silin had told Huang Ziyue and the others what had happened at the bamboo house, explaining Moo Moo’s appearance and the events that followed.
Listening to the story, Gu Fangqi and the other two found it all rather surreal.
’So Moo Moo was the creature that had emerged from the abyss, the one that caused the underground hall to collapse.’
Mu Silin, in turn, was surprised as he listened to their account of what had happened underground.
"So, you’re saying the man in black didn’t manage to get away with the Devouring God Flower, and the flower was destroyed? But what about him? Did he escape?"
Shen Yue listened, her gaze also turning to the three of them.
Bai Chaosi shook his head. "After the Devouring God Flower consumed us and we fell unconscious, we have no idea where the man in black went. When we woke up, the Devouring God Flower had withered and the entire hall had collapsed. There was no sign of him!"
Mu Silin said, "So he might have been buried down there too? But how did you all wake up after being consumed by the Devouring God Flower?"
’Isn’t it said that once the Devouring God Flower consumes your spiritual power, it’s the same as death?’
Gu Fangqi added, "Exactly. I thought my time was up. I never expected to survive."
"But I have a feeling that when we were consumed by the Devouring God Flower and fell unconscious, some kind of power saved us. That same power must have destroyed the Devouring God Flower, too."
Mu Silin and his two subordinates listened from behind.
They were all stunned.
’Who could possibly be powerful enough to save someone from the clutches of a Devouring God Flower?’
Gu Fangqi continued, "But the Devouring God Flower is the Doomsday Flower. According to the legends of the Beast God, it’s an evil flower that even the Beast God himself feared. Once consumed by it, death is certain. So for us to have survived... it’s truly beyond belief!"
As Shen Yue listened, a glint flashed in her eyes.
’So that’s what they encountered down there. Something so perilous.’
’All three of them were consumed by the Devouring God Flower and nearly died. And they came so close to letting that man in black escape with it.’
’I wonder how they managed to stop him.’
As he spoke, Gu Fangqi turned to Bai Chaosi and Huang Ziyue.
"Hey, you two, when you were waking up, did you feel anything? Or hear any sounds?"
Bai Chaosi’s ears perked up. He hadn’t expected Gu Fangqi to have heard it too.
