Chapter 270: Back to the original form
"No, Jin Ying's vitality is so tenacious......" Ji Ao shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore. Although things may not all go as people want, it is always after hard work that it can be said that providence makes people......
Lu Qing hugged Yan'er and looked at his expression. Although she and Ji Ao often meet because of Jin Ying's relationship, they have always been well water and not river water, and only in critical moments will the two of them trust each other as allies without hesitation. Lu Qing sighed softly, she knew Ji Ao's choice, because this was how she decided.
There was some haze in the morning sun, and both Lu Qing and Ji Ao knew that there would be a heavy rain at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it would continue to rain for more than five hours. By then, it was already dark, and if the flame was allowed to survive in the rain and face a night of hard work, would it still be able to hold on?
Lu Qing handed the flame in her hand to Ji Ao: "I'll go and disperse the rain clouds." ”
As a female slur, she is able to dispel rain clouds and moisture between heaven and earth, but this is against the sky and must pay corresponding mana. Tired, she did it at this time, which was indeed a little reluctant. She stood up, stretched out her arms, looked up to the sky, and let out a long howl.
The black clouds were rolling in from all directions, and they gathered together in an instant, but at this time, as if frightened, they immediately stopped gathering, and soon retreated, and the sky became blue again. Lu Qing sighed and sat down on the ground dejectedly.
A gentle breeze blew in, kicking up some dust from the ground, and Lu Qing squinted her eyes slightly in the wind, feeling the tiny dust lightly touch her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Ao staring blankly at a corner, where a lot of dust seemed to be floating up due to the wind, and it was spinning on the ground.
Lu Qing was stunned, she struggled to stand up, but found that she had no strength at all. Yan'er, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, also sensed something, and struggled to poke her head out of Ji Ao's arms......
It just so happened that Li Yao came with lunch and found that the eyes of the three of them were all focused on one location, although the weather was very clear, but that place was filled with foggy objects, like smoke formed by a bonfire just extinguished.
The food basket in Li Yao's hand almost fell to the ground. She threw down the things in her hand, ran over excitedly and asked in a trembling voice, "That, that's ......"
Lu Qing looked back at her, and although there were tears in her eyes, she gave Li Yao a positive answer with a gentle smile: "That's Jin Ying......"
Li Yao let out a cheer and took the lead in rushing towards Jin Ying, and before she could run a few steps, the flames had already swept past her like arrows. Lu Qing sat on the ground and secretly wiped away her tears and smiled, watching Ji Aozheng laugh and walk towards the figure that was condensing into a human form......
The desolate abandoned factory area was scorched hot in the hot summer sun, and a few wild cats were playing in the breezy weeds, running over the recently destroyed ruins, only to be frightened by the figures standing there, and immediately with their tails between their legs, they plunged into the collapse of the factory.
Ji Ao, Li Yao, and Lu Qing were welcoming this side, flying in front of the feathers were a little dim flame, and the thin layer of smoke floating in the corner was not blown away by the breeze, but was slowly flowing and condensing to the middle. Jin Hotaru, who had already formed a human shadow aura, was slowly sitting up, his figure was faint, the shadow knife was gone, the situation looked bad, but at least he was still alive, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I won. Jin Hotaru looked at everyone calmly.
Li Yao took the lead and rushed over with cheers, and the flame flew rapidly in the air like a rocket, as a way to vent its inner joy.
When Ji Ao and Lu Qing approached, they realized that something was wrong with Jin Ying, they were not as impulsive as Li Yao and Yan'er, and the two of them stopped at Jin Ying's side separately, looking at Jin Ying worriedly. Li Yao excitedly opened her arms to give Jin Ying a big hug, but Jin Ying floated between her arms, and then quickly condensed outside her arms.
"Hotaru, are you alright?, why don't you get back to your original form!" Li Yao looked at him in surprise and shouted.
"This is my original form," Hotaru looked at their puzzled expressions, "I seem to be ...... It seems that he can't turn into a human form anymore. ”
"It's not just that......" Ji Ao grabbed his chin and circled around him thoughtfully.
Lu Qing hurriedly grabbed Yan'er, who was about to throw herself into Jin Ying's arms: "Yan'er, don't go over first, Jin Ying's state is very wrong." ”
Everyone also noticed that in the past, even if Jin Ying appeared in a shadow state, there were still entities that could touch him, but now he could only exist in an illusory form.
"Still no, my mana should be too depleted, and my body can't be solidified yet. Jin Hotaru shook her head in disappointment after several attempts.
"It's not that simple, your body can't be condensed, what's the difference between that and fighting back to the prototype?" Ji Ao stretched out his hand to touch Jin Ying's body, only to find that his hand had passed through him.
"It seems that I have lost at least two hundred years of cultivation. Jin Hotaru checked her body again, and finally came to a conclusion.
Two hundred years is not a short time, even for youkai who live much longer than humans, and it represents an entire level of cultivation. Especially the vine gold moss that has only been cultivated for three hundred years, and losing these two hundred years of cultivation is almost equivalent to beating him back to his original form. In the duel with the nine-tailed fox, he finally saved his life, but to bear such consequences, everyone's faces showed unbearable expressions.
"As long as I'm alive, I can slowly cultivate in the future. Jin Hotaru looked at Bai Wei's corpse lying not far away.
Bai Wei's corpse has been ravaged by the anxious Yan'er as a tool to vent her anger in the past few days, and it is no longer obvious that she is the nine-tailed fox who once had gorgeous fur, the white fur has been charred and blackened by Yan'er, and the intact places are also covered with dust, and the smell of the corpse attracts a swarm of flies. This is death, no matter how arrogant and powerful a creature is in life, it will not be able to escape the same ending after death.
"Yan'er, let's cremate it. Jin Hotaru instructed Yan'er.
The exhausted flame immediately erupted in flames. It wished it had filed this hateful foe to ashes. Bai Wei's body instantly turned into ashes in the flames, Ji Ao raised his hand, a gust of wind swept by, and those ashes were blown away in the air, leaving no trace in the end. Liu Mingkai's ending back then also appeared on Bai Wei today.
"Maybe they'll meet again somewhere," Lu Qing said softly as she watched it all, "as long as they can see each other again, they won't be separated again anyway......"
"Hmm!" Li Yao hugged Lu Qing's arm tightly and nodded.
"Alright, alright, we can go home, we haven't slept well in days!" Flame didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and it yawned as usual and prepared to throw herself into Jin Hotaru's arms to sleep.
"Yan'er, from now on, you can't touch the golden firefly. Lu Qing hurriedly grabbed it.
"Why!" Flame let out a scream as she broke free of her hand.
Finally everything is over, the golden firefly is still alive, it thought that everything could go back to its previous trajectory, and now it is suddenly impossible to tell how it can accept it when it approaches the golden firefly.
"Jin Ying has lost too much cultivation and mana, and in his current state, he can't withstand the power of a spirit beast at all. If you touch him, it will hurt him at least and kill him at worst. Ji Ao warned it solemnly.
"Impossible, I don't believe it, you're talking nonsense, hundreds of years ago, when Hotaru didn't become a human, he also hugged me all day long, and he didn't die because of it!" Yan'er yelled viciously at Ji Ao.
"Yan'er, you were young at that time, and your strength was not strong enough to hurt him. Lu Qing smiled and gently stroked its head. Ji Ao's words can not be believed, but Lu Qing will never lie to it. It watched helplessly as they stopped talking, and took the lead in the direction of home with its head down.
"Yan'er, don't worry, Jin Ying was too seriously injured to temporarily lose her mana, go home and rest for a few days, maybe you can recover." Lu Qing's comfort made Yan'er feel better.
"Hotaru, you have to get better quickly, or where will you let me sleep?" Although Yan'er couldn't touch Jin Hotaru, she still flew by Jin Hotaru's side every step of the way.
"I know," Jin Hotaru looked at it apologetically, "I'll cultivate as soon as possible." ”
"It's not to cultivate as soon as possible, when do you want me to wait? It's going to change back immediately, you know!"
"Yes, I know. ”
Li Yao secretly turned her head to wipe the tears from her eyes, and she grabbed Yan'er: "Jin Ying has just woken up, he needs to rest, you are not allowed to disturb him anymore!
Yan'er's stomach was aggrieved, and sure enough, the temptation of the delicious food was temporarily dispelled, and it pulled the long colorful feathers on its wings, swallowed its saliva and began to count: "Tiger skin phoenix feet, steamed pork ribs, kung pao chicken, salt and pepper shrimp ......"
Jin Hotaru stealthily jumped into Ji Ao's shadow and went into hibernation. He was very weak after the duel, and he had to recuperate. As for re-cultivation, he couldn't start until he had recovered his vitality.
The group left the ruins and went to the home where Jin Hotaru had been away for many days. The setting sun cuts through the clouds and dyes everything around it red. Tomorrow looks like a good day, at least a brand new day. Ji Ao waved his arm into the sky.
Everyone sat around the cartoon sofa in Jin Hotatsu's house. Ji Ao sat with his waist straightened very rarely, Yan'er rarely lay down on Zhang Lei's knees, Jin Ying sat down in the form of a shadow, his posture looked very strange, everyone looked at him worriedly, especially Yan'er, its eyes were about to burst into flames.
After resting for more than forty days, Jin Ying's mana has recovered somewhat, but it can only condense the entity and cannot change into a human form at all. After Lu Qing and Ji Ao jointly examined Jin Hotaru several times, they announced that he had really been beaten back to his original form, and it was not the temporary state of weakness that Yan'er expected.
