What was even more terrifying was that countless cracks appeared in the sky above, and hundreds of thorny chains hung down, with fist-sized, sharp-toothed flower buds at their ends, dripping a viscous liquid that formed a rain curtain as they opened and closed.

"This is ridiculous!"

As Mingxi exclaimed, her reaction was not slow; she agilely flipped from Emerald Green's embrace onto its back.

A Miao Sword appeared in her hand.

It was not a prop.

Because she knew that apart from spatial items, all other items in this Mystic Ground were scrap metal, she had prepared some ordinary cold weapons in advance; although their lethality was far inferior to props, they were better than nothing.

Emerald Green continued to use Death Entanglement, and Mingxi, using the brief gap it created, swung the Miao Sword in her hand to cut at the thorns that were attacking from all directions.

Due to the dual special physiques of the Life and Death Soul Suppressor and You Wiong (Boundless Roaming/Infinite Travel), even though the Miao Sword was an ordinary weapon, it still exerted power comparable to a low-level item in Mingxi's hands.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The moment the blade cut through the thorns, a viscous, rusty-smelling liquid would continuously spray out, rapidly draining her vitality when it landed on Mingxi.

But when it landed on Emerald Green, it would increase its energy value.

The flower bud liquid from the thorns hanging from the sky also had the same effect.

And because of Life Sharing, Mingxi was not drained into a shriveled old hag.

o ♡ (๑° ﹏ °๑)

In other words, this Thorny Corridor was a deadly hell for humans and other types of Transcendent creatures, but for the Ashura, it was a paradise full of gold!

No wonder this Mystic Ground required an Ashura to enter.

"Try Wild Growth."

Mingxi lightly tapped Emerald Green's back with her fingertips.

It understood and immediately used Wild Growth and Absorption!

Facts proved that the 'fight to sustain the fight' model was more efficient here.

After realizing that her role was negligible, Mingxi decisively gave up on attacking, took out a specially made oversized glass bottle, held it above her head, and began collecting the 'raindrops'.

Although she did not know what these 'liquids' were, anything useful to Emerald Green was a good thing.

It certainly could not absorb all of it in a short time, so collecting it was the most environmentally friendly approach.

To prevent the glass bottle from being corroded, she would collect a bit and send it into the Time Realm for Guangguang to seal in a separate storage space.

As Emerald Green fought with increasing vigor and strength.

The thorns on the ground and in the sky began to show signs of decline.

An hour later, the thorny rain in the sky completely subsided, and the thorny wall on the ground slowly parted.

Not only did it reveal a path to the unknown, but this path was incredibly paved with Netherworld Yellow Spring Stones!

Winding and tortuous, five or six meters wide, and its length... could not be seen.

Mingxi was a little stunned for a moment.

How many Netherworld Yellow Spring Stones must there be?

Undoubtedly, this path was also part of the secret treasure, one of the Augus Royal Family's collections!

"Pry them all up!"

After confirming that the path was not dangerous, Mingxi and Emerald Green directly became mining machines.

They walked forward while digging up stones.

"Dig, dig, dig in the little garden, plant little seeds, grow little flowers, dig, dig, dig in the big thorny forest, plant big seeds..."

Feeling the mountain of stones piling up in her spatial item, Mingxi was as happy as a kindergarten child.

ლ(❛ ︶ ❛ ✿)ლ

Until they dug to the end of the road.

Only a few scattered, broken, low-quality, small Netherworld Yellow Spring Stones remained.

"Let's go!"

Mingxi and Emerald Green knew when to quit; there was no way they could keep milking one spot.

The Thorny Corridor was not easy either.

Withdrawing from the thorny area, a sea of vibrant flowers and lush greenery appeared before the human and the Transcendent creature.

Huge glowing flowers emitted a sweet fragrance, and the vines and leaves were invitingly verdant.

This was something Regina had not mentioned.

Clearly, this Mystic Ground was constantly evolving due to the unjustly deceased Ashura pets.

Mingxi took out an energy crystal from her space that had been extracted until only impurities remained.

"Whoosh--!"

The gray-white stone fell into the flower bushes.

The wind blew from afar, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, but there was nothing unusual.

Mingxi did not relax her vigilance because of this.

She then pulled out two lively little rabbits from her Ring of Life and threw them into the flower bushes as well.

Almost the instant they landed, the tranquil beauty was shattered.

Beautiful flowers sprayed dark green spores.

The two little white rabbits instantly turned into two big green rabbits; their fur was covered with a large amount of spores, their bodies inflated like balloons, and the veins on their skin became transparent.

"Bang! Bang!"

The 'green balloons' exploded, and the fine, dust-like flesh and blood were absorbed by the soil.

"Jinlan."

Emerald Green's expression was solemn; it indicated that those spores were not toxins but a vigorous, exaggerated vitality.

Mingxi concluded: "Excessive vitality is even more deadly than potent poison!"

She then pulled out two sparrows from her Ring of Life.

Knowing the dangers of the Mystic Ground, Mingxi had prepared many things overnight.

Live chickens, live ducks, live rabbits; dead pigs, dead sheep, dead frogs.

Anything she could collect in a short time, she brought.

For unexpected needs.

And now they were being used.

She tossed the sparrows into the sky above the sea of flowers.

The sparrows flapped a few times in mid-air, and their feathers fell off and weathered at an unscientific speed, followed by their skin, flesh, and bones.

In less than three seconds, they turned into a cloud of dust.

"Jin."

It said: This time it was death qi, dense death qi.

"The ground is vitality, and the sky is death qi? This Mystic Ground truly is danger's mother opening the door for danger; it's dangerous to the extreme!"

Mingxi was sweating profusely.

Augus Royal Family, you've really stirred up trouble.

"Jin."

Emerald Green indicated that it wanted to try it personally and for her to stay put for now.

Mingxi thought about the Ashura's uniqueness and ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) finally nodded: "Okay, but if I find even the slightest thing wrong with you, I will immediately send you into the Pet Space, no resistance allowed!"

"Jinlan."

Emerald Green agreed.

Without needing to prepare, it lifted its foot and stepped in.

Whether it was luck or due to its body weight, the moment Emerald Green stepped onto the grass, the ground beneath its feet began to sink.

"Swamp!"

The surrounding flowers, plants, and invisible air all began to move.

Vitality spores and death qi seeds rushed towards Emerald Green, and before Mingxi could even blink, she saw its body turn half green and half gray!

Her heart rate frantically sped up; Mingxi was about to send Emerald Green back into the Pet Space.

"Jin!"

Emerald Green spoke, indicating that it was fine.

Mingxi looked at its upper body, gray and dusty, and its lower body, lush green, deeply doubting the meaning of the words 'problem not big'.

"Jinlan."

Sensing Mingxi's breathless tension, Emerald Green explained again.

It was indeed fine.
