After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 456 Silver Thunder Serpent

In the darkness, there is no concept of time. Guan Bi no longer knows how long he has been walking; she only feels that she has been walking for a very, very long time.

Despite walking for so long, she never felt tired, not even slightly thirsty, just very lonely.

She could only try to suppress her own emotions, keeping only one thought in her mind—

They found the purple-gold thunder pool that had been passed down through generations of their family.

Time passes little by little.

Gradually, she forgot what her reason for moving forward was, and she forgot who she was; she forgot everything.

Only one obsession remained in her mind, propelling her forward. She didn't understand where that obsession came from; it was simply an instinct to fulfill it.

She walked further and further away, for longer and longer, until he even forgot that obsession.

Her body was simply driven by instinct to move forward; walking became her entire life, and she even forgot how to stop.

In a daze, she seemed to see a faint purple-gold light flickering in the dark world.

"Light?"

"Why light?"

How do I know it's light?

"I?"

"who am I?"

Guan Bi covered her head with a ferocious expression, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, she stopped for the first time.

"Purple-gold light, purple-gold thunder pool..."

Guan Bi knelt on the ground, repeatedly banging her head against the earth. Veins bulged on her forehead, and fine beads of sweat gathered together, rolling down her cheeks and dripping down her chin onto the glistening droplets hanging from her neck.

A glimmer of brilliant light burst forth from the water droplet, and Bai Lu's tiny, ethereal figure appeared before her eyes.

"Guanbi, I don't want to be your mistress, let's be friends!" Bai Lu's childish voice rang in her ears, and the illusory figure stretched out its hands to her.

“Miss…” Guan Bi’s face was covered in tears.

Wiping away the tears on her face, Guan Bi clutched the water droplets hanging around her neck and slowly walked towards that point of light.

The purple pupils reflected the faint light of the water droplets, making them even more dazzling.

……

"Damn it! When will this end!" Shen Xu's sword flashed with golden light, slicing a nearby vengeful spirit into ashes.

Leaning on his sword and panting heavily, looking at the endless black earth, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Where is he supposed to find Guanbi now?

Besides the silver snakes, there are also ubiquitous vengeful spirits in this space. Although they are not as powerful as the silver snakes, their numbers are simply too great. When they gather together in large numbers, it is absolutely terrifying.

The piercing scream, specifically aimed at the soul, still makes his temples throb violently.

If he hadn't brought that lotus flower out of the Purple Gold Thunder Pool, he would probably have been torn to shreds by those vengeful spirits long ago, given his mediocre thunderous power.

However, he could not use the golden lotus to dispel vengeful spirits for an extended period of time, because the golden lotus would attract the silver snake.

Moreover, those silver snakes were almost impossible to defend against. Although they were not fatal to him, they were enough to cause him considerable wounds.

Their attacks were so frequent that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's now covered in wounds.

The healing breath that the Heavenly River Sword Master gave him, besides being used to fight the purple markings, also had to heal his external injuries, resulting in a large consumption of the healing breath. Now it is no longer able to stop the purple markings from spreading into his body.

Feeling the stinging pain on his face, he knew that the purple markings were about to cover his entire body.

In addition, the silver snake that attacked him from time to time made him very irritable.

After swallowing a healing pill, Shen Xu sat cross-legged on the spot, pondering his next move. Continuing forward would only lead to certain death; he had to find a way to locate Guan Bi as soon as possible.

He was heading in the right direction.

As he moved forward, the rift valley gradually disappeared, and the raging lightning slowly subsided.

The dark clouds in the sky stopped flashing with lightning, and the surrounding air gradually became calm.

If that purple-gold thunder pool wasn't an illusion, then the place where he initially appeared should have been the deepest part of the Thunderstorm Land.

The silver serpents there are also the most powerful. If he hadn't been a Soul Devourer, he would probably have been a corpse when the first silver serpent attacked him.

By the time he arrived at his current location, Qi Ling's Eyes were able to detect some traces of the silver snake.

The problem was that their numbers had also increased, making it very difficult for him to cope.

Suddenly, Qi Ling's eyes twitched wildly as a warning.

Shen Xu's heart trembled, a purple light flashed between his brows, and his figure instantly appeared a hundred meters away.

A silver light appeared where he had been standing, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"What the hell!"

Sensing the disappearance of the threat around him, Shen Xu's gaze turned extremely gloomy. He was certain that the silver snake that had just appeared was the same silver snake that had been ambushing him all along.

That guy was powerful and extremely cautious. If he failed to strike, he would immediately flee far away, unlike the other silver snakes who would enter his soul mist.

The biggest wound on his body was inflicted on him by that guy.

However, he could not find its trace and could only wait for it to appear on its own.

Shen Xu was certain that the silver snake had probably evolved considerable intelligence.

The silver snake could keep at it indefinitely, feeding on all the vengeful spirits in the entire space, while he would only grow weaker and weaker under the corrosive influence of the purple markings.

He must resolve this, otherwise finding Guanbi will be futile.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu gripped his sword tightly, knowing that the guy was definitely not far from him.

Unfortunately, his mist couldn't detect the silver snake's presence at all; otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced into this situation.

His golden-red pupils scanned the surrounding darkness. He took out the Purple-Gold Thunder Lotus from his Qi Sea and sat cross-legged on the ground. Illusory lotus flowers imbued with the aura of the Purple-Gold Thunder Lotus appeared around him and then floated in the surrounding space.

After doing all this, he stored the Purple-Gold Thunder Lotus in his Qi Sea, and the Thunder Intent, amplified by the Glazed Heart Lotus, burst forth from his body.

The intent of water cannot detect the silver snake, but the intent of thunder certainly can.

Although he is not yet able to fully imitate Lei Lian's essence, he believes that the silver snake is probably too intelligent to see through his scheme.

Ideally, the Silver Serpent would go to find the illusory Thunder Lotus, giving him enough time to make his move.

If they come looking for him, he's prepared to run away.

As time passed, Shen Xu's heart gradually tightened. He knew that the silver snake was not the only one attracted to the Purple-Gold Thunder Lotus.

Outside the area covered by the illusory lightning lotus, a silver light would occasionally flicker, but for some reason, no silver snakes made a move at this moment.

However, he is now certain of one thing: that silver snake is definitely coming for him, otherwise it would have driven away the other silver snakes.

"What high intelligence! I'm going to chop you up today!"

Shen Xu hardened his heart, and the thick fog instantly dispersed. Strands of golden lightning extended outwards through the fog, eventually weaving into a huge lightning net.

He gritted his teeth, his mind constantly on edge, a purple light shining from the crystal lotus between his brows, enveloping his entire being in a dazzling purple glow.

Qi Ling's eyes twitched wildly, but he ignored them.

The disturbance from the lightning net allowed him to discover traces of some silver snakes near the illusory lightning lotus, but they were not his target.

Just as the lightning net was about to reach its limit, he felt a tremendous disturbance in a dark place where there were no lightning lotuses, which caused his entire lightning net to collapse instantly.

Without hesitation, Shen Xu immediately tried to draw his sword, but a silver lightning bolt suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Qi Ling's eyes were filled with tears of blood. Through the blurry red light, he saw the true appearance of this silver snake for the first time. Its extremely slender and transparent body seemed to contain flowing mercury, and silvery-white arcs of electricity flickered around it, forming its entire body.

At this moment, only half of its body appeared before him, while the rest of its body disappeared into the void. The space at the junction of the two fluctuated continuously, creating invisible ripples.

This is a species capable of traversing space!
