Chapter 721
Chapter 721
After Lin Yu and his group left there, they came to the coast.
The sea breeze blows gently, and the waves hit the rocks on the shore, making bursts of noise.
Jingliu stood alone beside a reef, staring quietly at the sea level in the distance, with an elusive look in her eyes. It was unknown whether she was thinking about something or recalling the past.
Lin Yu noticed Jing Liu's abnormality and felt a little confused.
Is she recalling something? He thought to himself, maybe this place has a special meaning to Jing Liu, or maybe she is remembering some unknown past events.
So, Lin Yu walked up and patted her shoulder gently, trying to pull her back from her thoughts.
Jing Liu came back to his senses and turned to look at Lin Yu. The confusion in his eyes was instantly concealed, and he returned to his usual coldness.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly, her voice sounding a little vague in the sea breeze.
"I see that you seem to be worried. Did something happen here?" Lin Yu asked with concern. He felt that there seemed to be some stories hidden in Jing Liu's expression, and these stories might be inextricably linked to everything they had experienced.
"Also, what happened to you, Jing Yuan, and Ren when we left the fairy boat?" Lin Yu continued to ask.
"Nothing, just stabbing him..." Jingliu frowned slightly, seeming to be choosing her words, "His habit was a bit strange, but we managed to cure it. I hope he won't do...that kind of thing in the future." There was a hint of helplessness and worry in her tone.
"By the way, aren't there five Yunshang Five Warriors? Why are there only four?" Lin Yu asked curiously again. He remembered what he had heard about the Yunshang Five Warriors before, and wondered why every time the Yunshang Five Warriors were mentioned, there seemed to be one person missing.
"Bai Heng..." Jing Liu blurted out subconsciously, her voice trembling slightly, and a trace of pain and nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
"Bai Heng? Is she the fifth of the Yunshang Five Warriors?" Lin Yu asked. He felt from Jing Liu's reaction that Bai Heng might have a special meaning to Jing Liu and the Yunshang Five Warriors.
Jingliu's fingers unconsciously stroked the "broken" hilt of the sword at his waist, and his eyes were gradually filled with memories.
The waves rolled over the reefs with fine sand, leaving wet marks on the hem of her clothes. In a trance, she seemed to have returned to that era of blood and fire.
“She is the most special one among us.”
"The accident rate of the Star Raft is ridiculously high, but we always come back alive. Every time we bring back the immortal wine from the Star Sea, even Jing Yuan will drink a few more cups." She chuckled, but there was bitterness in her laughter. "It's the same on the battlefield. Being swallowed by a giant beast, crashing behind enemy lines...but Bai Heng always finds a way to get out of danger."
Lin Yu listened quietly and noticed that when Jing Liu was speaking, the sea breeze suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the tide in the distance beating against the shore again and again.
"What happened next?" he asked softly.
"Later..." Jingliu paused.
"During the sudden chaos, she rushed into the enemy camp alone in order to break through the 'Blood-painted Prison Realm'." Her voice suddenly became very light, "Danfeng Longkuang, I was trapped in the blood mist, and it was she...she who risked her life to drag us out."
"In the end, she and Shuhu died together, leaving behind only a strand of hair and a few drops of blood."
"But Dan Feng and Ying Xing were unwilling to accept this."
"They wanted to bring Bai Heng back, so they used the magic of dragon transformation in Linyuan Realm... and suddenly created an evil dragon with flesh and blood." She turned and looked in the direction of Linyuan Realm. The clouds there were surging, as if she could still see the bloody storm of that year.
"Since then, the Five Warriors of Yunshang have disbanded, Danfeng was tortured and reincarnated, Yingxing became a blade, and I..." She did not continue speaking, but just tightened her grip on the sword at her waist.
"She must be a very powerful person, just like fireworks, even if it goes out, it will leave the most beautiful image in everyone's heart."
Jing Liu was slightly stunned when he heard Lin Yu's words. After a long time, he sighed softly, "Maybe."
"She always said that the compass of the unknown traveler would only point to two directions - the unknown place where one longed to see the scenery, and the final place where one would be buried."
"So, there is nothing left about Bai Heng?" Lin Yu asked.
"No, only a few drops of blood and a piece of hair were taken away to try to revive them." Jing Liu's voice suddenly lowered, as if he was confessing, "It's just that I didn't agree, and I left a drop of blood and a piece of hair without permission. Now they are well preserved."
She raised her hand and condensed an ice cube. Inside the ice cube was a silver box that glowed coldly in the moonlight.
"Every time I take it out, I can think of her."
"Don't you think it's too restrictive?" Lin Yu asked, a bold idea stirring in his heart.
Just as Jingliu was about to speak, Aha suddenly appeared from behind Lin Yu.
"Restrictions are the most boring! Let me see--" She reached out to grab Jingliu's silver box, but was held down by Lin Yu.
“Aha!” Lin Yu glared at her, then turned to look at Jing Liu with an unprecedented serious look.
"If... I mean if, there is a way to bring Bai Heng back, are you willing to believe in a miracle again?"
"There may still be some Jianmu energy left in the Scaled Abyss Realm, but it has not been found yet. In addition, there is the mark you left in Bai Heng's blood, and..." What he didn't say was the "Soul Reconstruction" technology worth a million Dome Coins in the system store.
Jing Liu took a half step back, "Do you know what you are talking about? Even the dragon transformation method failed, let alone..." Her voice stopped abruptly.
The silver box suddenly became hot, and the broken hair and blood sealed inside glowed faintly, forming a blurry shadow of Bai Heng under the moonlight.
The shadow blinked and playfully made a victory gesture.
"How about it?" Ah Ha pinched his waist, "Let's take a gamble! It's much more interesting than watching you staring blankly at the reef!"
Lin Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Aha could do such a thing.
He hasn't done anything yet.
Jing Liu clenched and loosened the hilt of the sword, and finally took off the silver box and placed it in Lin Yu's palm, "If I can really get her back...this time, I will be the one who gambles everything."
"Aha, did you know this would happen?" Lin Yu turned and looked at her.
"Who knows? But..this is for you."
"What is this?" Lin Yu looked at what Aha handed over.
"This is the key to resurrecting Bai Heng," Ah Ha rarely put away her playful look and became serious. "Use your abundant energy to give birth to the remaining life source of Jianmu, add Bai Heng's blood and hair, and then use your destiny energy as a catalyst!" As soon as she finished speaking, the crystal suddenly burst into a dazzling light, projecting a picture in the air.
Deep in the Scaled Abyss, a broken Jianmu tree stood in the chaos, emitting a faint but tenacious light from its core, like a candle that was about to go out.
Jing Liu walked silently to Lin Yu's side, "The residual energy of Jianmu is extremely unstable. Dan Feng and Ying Xing failed because they could not control that power."
Hua Huo came over and said, "What are you afraid of! With Lin Yu here and Lord Aha's props, we will definitely succeed this time!"
