Chapter 254 Rebuilding the Glory of the Far North, My Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Righteousness
Chapter 254 Rebuilding the Glory of the Far North, I, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, have an unshirkable duty!
The Starry Sky Forest, deep within a perilous land.
The ancient trees here are growing ever taller and more vigorous, their canopies blocking out the sun and casting a dim light.
The life energy flowing in the air was so thick that it could almost materialize, and ordinary soul beasts dared not set foot here even a little.
Under Xiao Ruier's leadership.
Tang Chuan walked through a strange forest shrouded in a pale green mist, and finally stopped in front of a giant mountain wall covered with slippery moss and ancient vines.
At the bottom of the mountain wall, a huge, dark cave entrance, seemingly capable of swallowing all light, appeared before the two like the open mouth of a giant beast.
A faint, icy chill emanated from the cave entrance, starkly contrasting with the warm, life-filled atmosphere around it.
As the two cautiously approached the cave entrance, Xiao Ruier lowered her voice and told Tang Chuan about the origin of the silkworm inside:
"Speaking of which, the origin of this big guy locked up inside is quite special." A hint of reminiscence lingered in her golden eyes. "It was probably a few hundred years ago when a soul beast with a cultivation level of nearly a million years suddenly broke into the forest, startling everyone."
"Its true form is an ice silkworm from the far north, which shouldn't be here at all. It had just sneaked into the forest when it was spotted by Uncle Xiong Jun, who has keen senses, and he immediately subdued it."
As Xiao Ruier spoke, a smile appeared on her face. "Uncle Xiong Jun was overjoyed at the time, thinking he had gotten a great deal. He planned to secretly swallow the Ice Silkworm to improve his cultivation. But unexpectedly, Uncle Di Tian found out about it in the end."
"Uncle Di Tian asked him to hand over the Ice Silkworm so that everyone could deal with it together. But Uncle Xiong Jun, with his stubborn temper, would never agree. He felt that since he caught it, it should belong to him."
She paused here, her tone tinged with a hint of wistfulness about the past.
"As a result... the two of them started fighting."
"The ending was predictable." Xiao Ruier shrugged and smiled helplessly, "Although Uncle Xiong Jun was powerful, he ultimately suffered a crushing defeat in front of Uncle Di Tian."
"Later, Uncle Di Tian carefully examined this ice silkworm and found that although its cultivation level was frighteningly high, its strength was extremely unstable. Uncle Di Tian said that its nearly one million years of cultivation was not achieved through its own hard work, but rather... it had some incredible luck and must have devoured some extraordinary natural treasures in the far north, which it then artificially accumulated."
"In the end, Uncle Di Tian made this decision." Xiao Ruier pointed to the cave in front of her and said seriously, "We imprisoned it in this specially made cave so that everyone can absorb its vast yet relatively gentle spiritual energy to improve their own cultivation. After all, killing and eating it directly would cause most of its energy to dissipate, which would be too wasteful."
As they spoke, the two had already reached the entrance of the cave.
The icy aura became even more pronounced, and at the same time, one could feel even more the vast, ocean-like energy deep within the cave, yet bound by some kind of force.
Just as Tang Chuan followed Xiao Ruier and stepped into the deep mountain cave...
"Buzz!"
A vast and urgent spiritual force, as if finding an outlet, instantly locked onto Tang Chuan and forcibly established a connection with him!
"Human! It's you! You've finally come! I'm here, please save me!"
A voice, trembling with sobs and filled with boundless grievance and longing, exploded deep within Tang Chuan's mind.
"I will definitely repay you, really, I swear!" The voice hurriedly added when Tang Chuan did not respond immediately, its tone urgent as if it had grasped the last straw.
It seemed to be extremely agitated, with its mental energy fluctuating wildly.
"Waaah, finally someone's come here! Too bad I can't cry, otherwise I would definitely be crying my eyes out, waaaah..."
As Tang Chuan walked deeper into the cave under Xiao Ruier's guidance, he couldn't help but find the noisy yet pitiful mental transmission in his mind quite amusing.
He could clearly feel the surrounding temperature dropping rapidly, and the further he went in, the more biting the cold became. The hard ground beneath his feet was now covered with a thick layer of white frost.
Just after turning a corner, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
At the same time, a huge, round, white figure appeared.
It suddenly appeared in their field of vision!
It was a fleshy head, over a meter in diameter, looking like a silkworm's head magnified countless times. It was wriggling, slowly crawling out from the deepest part of the cave, revealing its enormous body, which was over seven meters long!
As it fully revealed itself, the chill inside the cave suddenly reached its peak.
Tang Chuan's breath instantly turned into thick white mist, and the bone-chilling cold made him shiver several times.
This giant silkworm is entirely white and lustrous, with a crystal-clear body that seems to be carved from the purest ice jade. Beneath its smooth skin, there is a faint aura of energy flowing slowly.
Above its head were a pair of small, golden eyes, the size of mung beans, which were now looking at Tang Chuan with anticipation and tears in their eyes.
The most peculiar thing is...
Starting about half a meter behind its head, along its plump body, at intervals there is a dazzling golden ring pattern that seems to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth!
One, two, three... from beginning to end, no more, no less.
There were a total of nine golden lines!
However, this enormous creature, which looked harmless and even somewhat comical, now appeared incredibly pitiful.
Its body was firmly bound by energy chains formed from pure dark dragon power. These chains, as if they had a life of their own, were deeply embedded in its crystalline body, imprisoning it in the cave, unable to move!
This is the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!
A creature with nearly a million years of cultivation, possessing immense power but lacking corresponding strength, was imprisoned here by a group of ferocious beasts and became an unfortunate "power bank".
Seeing Tang Chuan's figure truly appear before it, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's small golden eyes suddenly shone with an unprecedented brilliance. It immediately used its mental power to shout at Tang Chuan in an even more urgent, even tearful tone:
"Human! My brother! You...you have to save me! I'm begging you!"
"I can't take it anymore! This endless darkness, this feeling of having my power drained away every day... I'd rather become a spirit ring than stay here any longer!"
"Freedom! I yearn for freedom!"
Hearing the ear-piercing wails and pleas in his mind, Tang Chuan frowned slightly, shook his head helplessly, and calmly replied through his mental power:
"Save you? Aren't you bound by the chains that Di Tian placed on you? How can I save you? With my strength, I'm afraid I can't remove those chains from you, can I?"
"Well…"
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mental energy, which had been somewhat chaotic due to excitement, suddenly froze.
Its clumsy, seemingly duller brain, which had become even less sharp after being confined for so long, seemed to only now realize the most crucial issue.
"Hmm...that seems to be true..."
Its mental strength instantly waned, filled with deep frustration and despair.
"The restraints on me were set up by that big bad guy, Di Tian."
"It contains his primordial dragon power. You... you're just a human, not even a Title Douluo, how could you possibly decipher it..."
At this point, the enormous body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to slump slightly, and its mental transmission carried a genuine, sobbing tone as it said:
"Waaaaah... Oh God! Heavens! Earth!"
"Brother...is brother really going to spend his whole life in this cold, dark cave, until he's drained dry? Waaah...why is my life so miserable..."
It cried a few times in self-pity, but its little golden eyes were fixed on Tang Chuan, as if he were the only light in this despairing darkness.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's mental power intensified once again.
It carries a sense of resolute determination, like burning one's boats and making a desperate gamble.
"No! No way! If freedom is right in front of me, I have to consider whether this might be my only chance in this lifetime!"
"To restore the glory of the far north, it is my duty, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, to do so..."
Please vote for me!
