Chapter 136 Lifting the Restriction
Chapter 136 Lifting the Restriction
The two-headed dog lay on the ground, seemingly having lost the ability to move due to excessive bleeding. Slight ups and downs could still be felt on its chest and back, but they were too weak to feel its breathing unless you touched it carefully.
"Is it dying..." Lingyi came in front of the two-headed dog, stretched out his hand and placed it on the forehead of the two-headed dog, clenching his fists unwillingly.
If what Xiaojiu said was true, then this two-headed dog might not be evil by nature, but was driven by others and forced to commit acts of harming others.
Zero-One then gradually gained some new insights into life. Although he was in a strange world where the strong preyed on the weak, the three views of the past world still slowly influenced Zero-One, making him feel a little guilty about everything he had done in the past.
Crime should be punished, but never executed privately.
Even though there was a two-headed dog monster in front of him now, Lingyi still wanted to save his life. But how could he help a guy who could survive even with his head split in two recover?
"Long'er, are you sure?" Lingyi asked Long'er helplessly.
Long Er didn't say much. His left eye emitted a blue light and he used Ling Yi's facial features to examine the two-headed dog. What Xiao Jiu said about the head being split into two was just a guess. Instead of guessing, it would be better to find out. The perspective ability of the Dragon God's Eye was activated, and Ling Yi also saw the full appearance of the two-headed dog and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
In Zero One's eyes, the two halves of the skull were precisely divided into two, and the brain inside was also divided into two halves because of the left and right brains. The bulging flesh and blood looked more like some kind of curse, which forcibly connected the nerves and senses of the left and right brains through the bulging flesh and blood, ultimately ensuring the body's dying survival.
"This... how is it possible?" Lingyi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw such a magical thing. Although this was a different world, it was still somewhat similar to the past world. Although there were more fantastic magic skills in this world, if one was injured in the head, heart and other vital parts, one would still die immediately.
What about the two-headed dog in front of him? Its head was actually split in two, but it was still able to survive? Was it driven by survival instinct, or...
"I feel... that surviving is not like its own consciousness..." Long Er said solemnly, and the magic power in his body burst out. The bright white light illuminated the forest, like a flash bomb at night.
"Sister Long'er!" Xuela was almost blown away by this magic power and took two steps back. Fortunately, the mark of the saint on her body had taken effect, helping Xuela to stand firm in this wave of magic power.
"Long'er, are you talking about another possibility..." Lingyi said with a little anger, looking at the bulge on the two-headed dog's head with burning eyes.
"Yeah." Long Er nodded, and said with a hint of disappointment, "It's more like someone has imposed a restriction on it, which can ensure that it survives and does not die..."
"Then, the shackles we saw might be..." As Lingyi said this, Long Er's leaked power instantly dissipated, and he fled in panic like an elf.
"To be honest, I'm not sure. If my actions harm him, then I..." Long Er frowned, feeling helpless but wanting to save her. "But I want to try. I want to save her, Xiao Yi..."
"I know, me too, I want to save her..." Lingyi was also in a dilemma. To be honest, everyone wanted to save her, but no one could tell how to save her, how to save her, and whether there was a guaranteed rescue. Time passed by, and no one could do anything.
"Maybe..." Pegasus' voice sounded, and he suddenly emerged from Zero One's chest. However, his body was too weak, and he fell forward immediately after only half of his upper body emerged.
"Pegasus!" Lingyi and Long'er exclaimed and quickly reached out to hold Pegasus' shoulders.
"No, it's okay." Pegasus said. Although he was a little weak, his magic power had recovered by more than half in just a few moments. The rest was the recovery of his body functions. "I feel it's doable."
"Hmm? What's feasible?" Lingyi asked.
Pegasus probably hasn't fully recovered yet, and his body is still a little weak. Even if he walked out of Zero-One's body, he still had to rely on Zero-One.
"The master's Saint Seal has a strong healing ability. Combined with Sheila's pure wood element and Xiaojiu's Fairy Healing Technique, it will greatly improve the healing ability. Long'er's Silver Dragon Claw is the nemesis of all magic skills."
"If those two lumps of flesh are products of magic, then Long'er can use the power of the Silver Dragon Claw to remove them first, and I can use space magic to transfer the air in the center of its head. The air in the center will be thinner, and the pressure on both sides will quickly bring its two heads closer to the center. Then the master, Xuela, and Xiaojiu can work together to heal the injured area, and it may be possible to restore the body."
After hearing Pegasus' plan, Lingyi didn't have time to think: "But this will test our cooperation to the extreme. Is it feasible?"
"It's feasible." Pegasus affirmed, "When Long'er splits the meat ball, I will use the space magic to seal the wounds on both sides. Xiaojiu's magic must also stabilize her brain organs from damage. With the ultimate wood element blessed by the Saint's Mark and the healing of the magic, it should be feasible."
"Come on, if we wait any longer, this guy will probably die." Long Er said, and the hands that controlled Ling Yi were already emitting a snow-white light. A sharp blade slowly grew out from the back of Ling Yi's hand, ready for action.
Lingyi turned his head to look at Xuela and Xiaojiu. After the two girls nodded affirmatively, Lingyi turned back and looked at the two-headed dog seriously and said, "You only have one chance. You can only succeed, not fail! Start!"
……
In the deep and dark space, a black-haired girl with dog ears was curled up in the corner. Her neck, wrists and ankles were hung with a circle of pitch-black shackles. There was a circle of blood-red marks on the shackles. There seemed to be ancient words on it, which could not be understood. The blood-red marks were like a heartbeat, constantly flashing.
The girl's physical condition was also extremely poor. She seemed to be extremely dehydrated. There were countless scars all over her body. Bright red blood wrapped her whole body, covering her originally snow-white skin. Her eyes were dull, as if she was accustomed to such a life.
But she still felt somewhat unwilling in her heart, and she murmured softly, her last hope for this world.
"Someone come...save me."
Bang! The sound of the shackles breaking could be heard...
……
"Sea of Trees in the Forest!"
"The realm of refuge."
"Silver Dragon Claw!"
"Teleport!"
Following Lingyi's order, everyone acted together. Xiaojiu clasped his hands together and made fists, placing them on his chest. A circle of golden semicircular light ball barrier unfolded, covering Lingyi and the others and the two-headed dog, ensuring that no one else could obstruct the process.
Xuela let out a delicate cry, and her right hand emitted a dense green light. She smashed the ground with force, and countless branches and vines grew out instantly. With the tacit cooperation of Xiaojiu, the hemispherical barrier covered by Xiaojiu was turned into a sea of trees.
Being in the sea of trees, especially with the power of the Shera elves and the mark of the saint, the healing effect of the wood element can be greatly enhanced.
But relying solely on the tall tree still did not give them an advantage in speed. Long Er had already been ready to strike. When the light blades in his hands were about to swing out, Pegasus grabbed Zero One's arm and teleported him into the air, right in front of the two-headed dog.
Long Er had to be as careful as possible while controlling his own powerful and abundant magic power. He might hurt the two-headed dog's muscle tissue by using too much force, which would be counterproductive.
Under the precise measurement of the Dragon God's Eye, Long Er frowned and quickly slashed towards the two-headed dog.
Two pale white sword energies slid out a "V" shape in the air, flying in a spiral trajectory, accurately cutting into the flesh of the two-headed dog.
Pegasus' shoulder blades immediately grew wings to prevent himself from falling and affecting his spell. The moment the sword energy penetrated into the flesh ball, traces of blood spurted out. The two-headed dog suddenly roared in pain and suddenly raised its head to block the flight path of the sword energy.
Long'er was horrified, and Pegasus immediately used space magic to control the entire body of the two-headed dog. Although it was a bit unexpected, it did not affect the flight trajectory of the sword energy too much, and it still split the two-headed dog's meat ball as Long'er had calculated.
At the same time, Pegasus used space magic again, following the flight trajectory of Long Er's sword energy, and slowly covered the wound of the two-headed dog with space magic. Xiaojiu also took action immediately. With the dual blessings of the power of the fairy and the mark of the saint, he stabilized the body of the two-headed dog and helped Pegasus share some of the magic power, allowing Pegasus to concentrate on covering the wound.
Then Xiaojiu also freed one hand and controlled the organs, blood, and so on inside the two-headed dog's head as if controlling objects remotely so that they would not get out of control and collapse immediately.
The flying trajectory of the sword energy quickly cut off all the wounds of the two-headed dog. However, what no one expected was that this ball of flesh actually had countless claws. Now they were all broken after being cut by Long Er, but the claws were still embedded in the body of the two-headed dog.
Long Er was also shocked when she saw this scene. With the help of the Dragon God's Eye, she saw the hook, but it seemed to fit perfectly with the growth trajectory of the flesh ball. Long Er thought it was a scab on the body, but she didn't expect that after the long piece of flesh ball fell off, it was actually wriggling on the ground, and the severed hook was still moving in panic.
However, that "meat ball" seemed to have its own consciousness and suddenly lifted up. What no one expected was that under the hemispherical meat ball, there was actually a bloody mouth with closely arranged teeth, like a bottomless pit. Growing at the edge of the bottomless pit, the obvious target was Zero One in the air. Zero One was particularly creepy when he looked down.
"What the hell is this thing!" Everyone present exclaimed at the same time. The unexpected change at this critical moment made everyone panic.
However, it did not seem willing to wait for Zero-One to fall. A beam of golden light gradually condensed in its big mouth, as if a ray of light was about to rush towards Zero-One in the air.
"Don't even think about disturbing us!" Sheila was furious and raised her longbow high. Two emerald green arrows immediately appeared on Sheila's longbow and shot towards the direction of the wriggling monster.
Two long arrows streaked out emerald green light in the air, accurately avoiding all trees and vines and hitting the monster's body.
The monster roared in pain. After being hit by two long arrows, its body fell backwards. The moment it fell to the ground, the two long arrows immediately turned into two long spears, pinning the monster to the ground.
"Get ready!" After the episode, although everyone briefly shifted their attention, they still focused on the two-headed dog and ignored the monster on the ground.
As Pegasus' voice sounded, everyone held their breath and prepared for the next action. Pegasus quickly extended his right hand forward, then waved it upwards. The air between the two heads of the two-headed dog disappeared instantly, and then the pressure on both sides quickly pressed the two heads to the middle. The speed was so fast that no one could react in time.
But this was the first time that Pegasus used this kind of power, and he couldn't use the pressure accurately to match the two heads together. When Pegasus thought he was about to make a mistake, Long Er controlled Lingyi's body and flew in front of the two-headed dog. He cut his palm with his index finger, and two lines of blood immediately flowed out. Long Er didn't dare to waste a drop of Lingyi's blood, and immediately placed it on the two-headed dog's head.
Then the mark of the saint on the forehead emitted a strong golden light, and Lingyi's blood immediately merged into the two-headed dog. What shocked everyone was that the two heads, which had a tiny gap between them, were actually moving slightly. The crack in the middle emitted a golden light, controlling the heads to slowly fit into the best position.
Upon seeing this scene, Pegasus immediately lifted the spatial blockade on the wound, allowing the body to regenerate. Sheila and Xiaojiu also immediately performed the powerful healing technique of the wood element together. A green light from the left and right sides poured towards the two-headed dog.
The Saint's Mark on the two women's bodies was released immediately, and with the help of Zero One's blood, the wounds were regenerating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, at this critical moment, the wriggling meatball monster started to act up again. The magic power of the light ball that had been absorbed in its mouth had not yet been released, and the position of its mouth was just facing the direction of Xiaojiu, so a golden beam of light immediately rushed towards Xiaojiu.
"Don't even think about it!" Pegasus shouted loudly, and with the power of teleportation, he immediately came in front of Xiaojiu. His body immediately changed into the form of a unicorn. He raised his front legs high and roared towards the sky. With just a flick of his wings, he blocked the monster's rays.
But what Pegasus wanted was not only to block the attack, but to make the opponent lose the ability to attack. The slender horn emitted a dazzling blue light, which was particularly conspicuous in the triangular light of the Saint's mark. A bolt of lightning rushed out from Pegasus's long horn and rushed towards the monster crawling on the ground without any hesitation.
The monster roared and screamed, but the sound was filled with a terrifying and weird atmosphere that was creepy.
After a long time, the monster fell to the ground and no longer moved.
At the same time, all the efforts made by everyone were not in vain, the heads of the "two-headed dog" had gradually merged into one, and with the powerful regenerative power of the Saint's Mark, the golden gap became smaller and smaller, gradually becoming one meter, and then one decimeter, one centimeter, and even one millimeter.
No one dared to relax at this moment, but such behavior was undoubtedly tantamount to snatching people from the King of Hell. The consumption of magic power was indeed too great. Xuela and Xiaojiu both knelt on the ground, coughing up blood, but they did not dare to stop the magic power transmission. They had to save it even though their magic power was exhausted.
This is even more true for Zero One. Although all he did was to use blood as a guide to speed up the regeneration of the two heads, he must not forget how badly the "two-headed dog" had been injured in the previous battle. The camp was covered with its blood, as if it had rained blood, leaving behind a pool of bright red.
With such a huge loss of blood, even if the head is successfully merged into one, it cannot be saved. Its blood must be restored to at least half of its level in order to be able to maintain it.
However, Lingyi did not dare to donate too much of his own blood, for fear that the blood type problem would lead to a greater disaster, which would backfire and make everything fail.
Zero One could only rely on the blood at the beginning as a catalyst, and use her own Saint's Mark to bless her, and allocate a part of her power to accelerate the blood regeneration speed in the "two-headed dog"'s body, and integrate her own magic power into the blood of the two-headed dog, splitting the blood cells in the body into two, two into four, and four into eight, thus forming blood.
But the physique of the "two-headed dog" is not that of an ordinary human or an ordinary wolfdog. It is a huge monster of more than 20 to 30 meters. Even if Lingyi is willing, his magic power is almost exhausted. There is bright red blood in his mouth, nose, ears, and even eyes.
But even so, Zero One insisted on turning the "two-headed dog" in front of him back to its original form.
Finally, after nearly a quarter of an hour, the roar of the two-headed dog gradually slowed down, and the golden cracks on its head disappeared completely. Its tired body shrank rapidly, from the original behemoth of more than 20 or 30 meters to the size of an ordinary large wolfdog of more than one meter, and immediately changed back like a deflated balloon.
boom!
Xuela's forest and Xiaojiu's protective shield disappeared almost at the same time, breaking into pieces of crystals that floated away.
Xuela and Xiaojiu both gasped for breath and looked worriedly in the direction of the "two-headed dog".
"Did it succeed?"
"Success?"
A beam of light descended from the sky, shining on the wolfhound's body. He opened his eyes tiredly, and saw a sunny white-haired boy looking at him lovingly, stroking the hair on his head. For some reason, he didn't know this guy, but his touch was so gentle, as if there was a special magic that made him indulge in it and unable to extricate himself...
"you're awake?"
"…Yeah, I woke up, and it felt like I had a nightmare."
