Bei Xu woke up amongst the pile of rocks he had built to be his hideout. He immediately picked up on faint scraping sounds outside.
When Bei Xu heard these noises, all the hair on his body stood on end.
The scraping sounds were an urgent warning in the Grotto Continent. It was the sound of a colony of Knife Twist Line Centipedes.
The Knife Twist Line Centipedes were not considered feys. Their only means of attack was using their knife-like mouths.
If the Knife Twist Line Centipede accidentally bit an adult, they would be immediately trampled to death.
All of Bei Xu’s hair had stood on end because of a legend that came to his mind.
The Knife Twist Line Centipede did not like to feed on flesh. It liked to eat metal-type spiritual ingredients.
According to legend, subterranean dimensional rifts opened up wherever a Knife Twist Line Centipede colony appeared.
A subterranean dimensional rift would definitely spell death for the people in the Grotto Continent who did not have feys.
When Bei Xu thought back to the fey that Lin Yuan had given him during the Astronomical Parliament’s parliamentary meeting, a black figure lunged at Bei Xu’s face, and he almost jumped out of his skin.
Bei Xu refocused his eyes through the dim light and realized that the black figure was a palm-sized bat.
Bei Xu was delighted by Lin Yuan’s fey and felt that he had finally become a spirit qi professional.
But immediately after, Bei Xu fell into despair.
Even if he formed a contract with this fey, could he really take on the sea of lifeforms that flooded out of the subterranean dimensional rift with this new fey of his and live to tell the tale?
Some Knife Twist Line Centipedes had already started to crawl through the cracks in the rocks. Bei Xu shakily circulated his spiritual energy and formed a contract with the bat-species fey in his hand.
After he formed the contract, his eyes widened.
He had only requested for a fey from Lin Yuan, so he did not expect to be given such a strong fey.
Intense gratitude shone in Bei Xu’s eyes, mixed with surprise and hope.
As he sensed the Sharp Shadow Bat’s abilities, Bei Xu finally knew why Lin Yuan had told him that he could do it.
With the Sharp Shadow Bat, the ‘rock insect’ curse would no longer dictate his life.
After Bei Xu formed a contract with the Sharp Shadow Bat, he noticed through the spiritual energy connecting him to the Sharp Shadow Bat that there was a black ring with bat patterns and two crystal bottles of spirit fluid on the ground.
Bei Xu, who had been mining for his entire life, knew how rare feys were in the Grotto Continent.
He did not know how to use the black bat-shaped ring and two bottles of spirit fluid on the ground.
However, he was certain that they were part of the surprise that Lin Yuan had mentioned.
He carefully picked up the black ring and spirit fluid before standing up amongst the rocks to instruct the Sharp Shadow Bat to kill the Knife Twist Line Centipedes that were crawling in through the cracks.
As he looked at the corpses of the Knife Twist Line Centipedes on the ground, Bei Xu summoned his Willpower Rune. Unexpectedly, his Sharp Shadow Bat charged toward his Willpower Rune.
Bei Xu’s mouth gaped wider and wider, and saliva even dripped out.
In spite of his befuddlement, he noticed that his Sharp Shadow Bat was growing larger.
Bei Xu was utterly confused about the Sharp Shadow Bat’s transformation, but he knew that his Willpower Rune had disappeared after the Sharp Shadow Bat became larger.
When he sensed the Sharp Shadow Bat’s new power, he felt that he would even be able to fight his way through a Class 1 subterranean dimensional rift.
If Lin Yuan had an all-seeing eye, he would have spat out a fountain of blood when he saw Bei Xu’s situation. Actually, Lin Yuan had forgotten that Bei Xu would be completely unaware of how to use the Diamond fey storage box and spirit fluid.
The items he had given Bei Xu to increase his power became burdens he needed to protect when he brought them along with him.
Due to Bei Xu’s ‘rock insect’ curse, he did not know anything about fey grades and qualities or the relationship between Willpower Runes and Fantasy Breed feys, which was common knowledge in the Radiance Federation.
Bei Xu would not even know how blessed he was now that the Sharp Shadow Bat had accidentally triggered its emperor bloodline and transformed into the Monarch Dark Bat.
Bei Xu would definitely be able to survive in the Grotto Continent with the Bronze X/Fantasy I Monarch Dark Bat.
…
Meanwhile, Yin Lin woke up on her soft bed.
Her heart pounded the moment she woke up. She did not dare to open her eyes despite knowing that she was now able to see clearly.
After a moment, she opened her eyes to a small crack.
Yin Lin saw a familiar yet foreign world through this crack, and everything that she saw was inexplicably beautiful and real.
All of the colors, shapes, and details were unclear to Yin Lin as of now.
This world had immediately mystified Yin Lin.
Warm tears flowed out of the corner of her eyes and slid down her face.
The moment the tears flowed out, a stunning smile broke out on Yin Lin’s face.
This smile was the epitome of tears of happiness.
There was some noise at the door of Yin Lin’s room, and it was clear that someone was afraid of making noise and disturbing Yin Lin as they walked on the carpet.
Yin Lin’s mother walked through the door. She had wanted to give Yin Lin a blanket, and she was surprised to find Yin Lin already awake.
The moment she saw Yin Lin, Guan Da was stunned.
She realized that not only had azure leopard-shaped patterns appeared on the left side of Yin Lin’s face, but white lion-shaped patterns that were slightly smaller than the leopard-shaped ones had appeared on the right side of Yin Lin’s face as well.
Since she was from a Class 5 family, Guan Da could remain emotionless even in the most extreme situations. But when she saw the patterns on Yin Lin’s face, her body started to tremble uncontrollably.
Guan Da had always seen her daughter’s life as a miserable one.
But even though Yin Lin was blind, Guan Da felt that Yin Lin was the luckiest person in the world.
She did not expect that Yin Lin would be able to unlock the Yin family’s most precious Spirit White Lion spirit patterns and Guan family’s Azure Cloud Leopard spirit patterns at the same time after one afternoon nap.
