Tak!
Tak!
Stepping cautiously into the dimly lit cave, Qin Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
A strong aura was hitting her skin, which felt like it was tearing apart her skin.
" Be careful... It's an Aura of Tier-6 monster and it seems to be in the enraged state, its strength should be equal to the eighth stage of aoul watering realm, " Xin Rui alerted Qin Cheng.
Nodding on acknowledgment, she continued to move.
— ( silence)
Tup!
Tup!
The unwanted silence was broken only by the soft drip of water from somewhere deep within the cavernous space.
Meanwhile, the two new servants named Neus and Neix, followed closely behind her.
As they ventured deeper into the cave,
Qin Cheng noticed strange markings etched onto the walls, they were symbols that seemed to pulse with ancient energy.
She paused for a moment, studying them intently before continuing forward.
Suddenly, a faint rustling sound caught her attention from around a nearby corner.
Without hesitation, she signaled for Neus and Neix to remain silent and motioned towards the noise.
Crouching low to avoid detection, Qin Cheng slowly moved forward.
" Woah! Those are moon grass, Heing sunflower, there is even old ginseng, and what's that, a fiery lotus? " Qin Cheng exclaimed as there were multiple treasures here in a small part of the cave.
However, her eyes soon went on a thin tree.
" so that must be Bodhi Tree... There is already a bodhi fruit there, once the moonlight passes through that small hole and hits the bodhi fruit, it will be enlightened, "
However, aside from treasures, she couldn't notice the monster that should be guarding it.
...
Gulp!
She swallowed her saliva, while her forehead began to sweat.
" Doing move, if you move you will be dead... That's a shadow enchantress, " Xin Rui's voice sounded.
Her heart was beating but she was slowly losing her breath.
"It's a holy sacrificial child! " just then, the voice hits Qin Cheng's ears.
"Holy sacrificial child? What's that? " Qin Cheng was stunned and asked in a small tone.
" Holy sacrificial children are those children who are sacrificed by heaven to boost the power of the chosen ones,
Just like this; the elf you are seeing is a rare species of dark elf called Moon Elf, once she dies, her soul is absorbed by the bodhi tree and the enlightened bodhi fruit will have the blessing of the moon.
This means, that her death is necessary to give the power of the moon to Prince Qin Bai Huan, however, since you are here, you have two choices.
1. Let the child die, let her soul be absorbed by the tree that way you will obtain an enlightened bodhi fruit with the blessing of the moon.
Or,
2. Save the child, which is impossible.
" Impossible? Why impossible? " Qin Cheng wondered.
" Like I said, she is a holy sacrificial child.
Remember, a child born with two different origin that clashes against each other, can't live long, the same thing is true with chosen sons.
As such, the heavens create a vessel child whose sole purpose is to help those chosen ones, by their death.
After all, as those chosen ones grow up, they have enough power to balance two different opposing powers within their body.
[ Opposing power such as light & Dark, sun & moon, fire & water ]
The child doesn't have a life force, she isn't suffering from any disease or anything. Her life is about to end, there is simply nothing we can do unless someone from above helps. "
"Someone from above? " Qin Cheng raised her eyebrow.
" Remember last time I told you about the powerful entities called Mods and Balancer? Above them are constellations that are like the actual gods, who can interfere in anything they like, and they keep watch on everything.
Matter of fact, right now, they are eyeing us, if they want they can help " Xin Rui said.
...
Looking at the child, it reminded her of her childhood, where she was supposed to die, because of poisoning when she was 3 months old.
The world can truly be hell for someone since birth.
" I see, there is no way to help then, " Qin Cheng said while touching the cheeks of the little kid.
" Pitiful soul... I'll definitely use your soul for the greater cause, "
