"The Purified Bloodline is awakening." The spores on Qinglan's skirt formed a zodiac star map, "But the speed of time in the mirror world..." She suddenly turned around and swung her staff, and the vines crushed three phosphorus fire beasts, "...will accelerate the backlash."
Su Ye's white hair had fallen to his ankles, and the group of phosphorus fire beasts that his hair swept through crystallized and exploded one after another. Mo Yan suddenly let out an inhuman scream - the red lotus pattern on his neck was being entangled and extracted by the alliance monument chain, and the protruding roots under the skin perfectly matched the missing pattern of the bronze box. The boy tore open his shirt, exposing the surgical scar on his spine: the tracker embedded in the third lumbar vertebra was made of the same material as the bronze box.
"They used me as a living sacrifice..." The blood droplets coughed up by Mo Yan condensed into red lotus buds in the air, "Sister's star pattern... is in the box..."
The alliance monument suddenly shook, and the bronze mask pattern of Ye Wuhen appeared on the monument. Qinglan's empty pupils leaked starlight: "Go! The traitors who escaped that year must..."
The shock wave of the alliance monument's explosion blew away the three people. Su Ye rolled in the tree hole of the thousand-year-old banyan tree and saw that the outside world was flowing at a hundred times the speed - Qinglan's guide stick was suspended in the air, and the hourglass shadow on the stick showed that only 180 seconds had passed in the real world. The blind girl's warning was torn apart by the turbulence of time and space: "Take Shisha to find Madam Hong... She is..."
The vines wrapped the broken pieces of the bronze box and stuffed them into Su Ye's arms. The touch felt like holding the frozen heart in his father's laboratory. He suddenly found that his fingertips had become transparent, and the star marrow flowing in his blood vessels was seeping into the ground through his white hair. Wherever he passed, moss grew wildly into star pattern totems.
The Snow Shadow Wolf made a cub-like cry, and its golden eyes reflected the vitrified left half of its owner's body. The star pattern flickered like a circuit board under the crystallized skin, and Su Ye could clearly see that his heart was transforming into a six-sided star marrow stone. Mo Yan grabbed his intact right wrist, and the red lotus pattern was climbing along the contact point: "The space-time turbulence is about to close!"
In the bright light of the crack reopening, Qian Shisan's mechanical voice was strangely kind: "Welcome home, my little Amber." In Su Ye's glassy palm, the core of the time sand was beating with the rhythm of the bronze coffin corpse. Behind him, under the moss of the ruins of the alliance monument, twelve new bronze coffins were breaking out of the ground, and the star pattern on the surface of the coffin was shining with the crown of thorns on his left eye.
Raindrops fell through the cracks and fell on the tip of Su Ye's nose, and he tasted the taste of the culture medium.
Qian Shisan's copper coin chain, rusted with bronze green, hung Su Ye in the star pattern cage of the auction house. Twelve bronze lamps with animal heads rotated in the dome, and the projected light spots and the scarlet fonts on the holographic screen intertwined into a strange totem. Next to the auction label of [Ancient Jade Container], a picture that made his blood coagulate was playing in a loop - laboratory monitoring in the early morning of July 15, 1997, a naked baby was immersed in the star marrow solution, with the embryo of the Snow Shadow Wolf curled up in his arms.
"98% pure star marrow, ready for immediate use." Qian Shisan's mechanical prosthetic arm ejected a freezing needle, the tube wall covered with spider-web-like ice crystals. When he knocked on Su Ye's vitrified right arm, twelve bronze pillars suddenly rose from the cage floor, each with the same energy-eating runes as the Star Alliance Monument crawling on its surface. The top of the pillar was embedded with the skull of a star pattern master, and the empty eye sockets were oozing black mucus.
Madam Hong's red lotus pendant flickered in the second-floor box, and the bidding card No. 1997 rotated at her fingertips. The fluorescence on the card resonated with the experimental number on the back of Su Ye's neck, and the subcutaneous star pattern suddenly burned - this was the protection spell that his mother had branded with ancient jade.
"You tomb robbers!" The moment Mo Yan broke through the ventilation duct, the red lotus roots that burst out of his spine burned through three chains. Under the boy's torn clothes, the birthmark on his heart was resonating with the bronze column, "The coffin board of the Star Beast Alliance can't suppress your greed!"
The Snow Shadow Wolf exploded the young ice crystal under the electromagnetic net, and its claws cut the dusty projector when it swept across the auction table. The surveillance footage from 20 years ago was suddenly exposed: the baby Su Ye in the incubator was sucking his fingers, and the Snow Shadow Wolf cub in his arms suddenly opened his eyes, and the same thorn star pattern bloomed in the depths of his pupils.
When the ice blue star marrow was injected into the elbow vein, Su Ye heard the clicking sound of the blood vessel wall freezing. The vitrification was temporarily suspended to the forearm, but the black spots under the skin were spreading along the star pattern veins - those patterns were exactly the same as the energy-eating spells of the bronze column. Qian Shisan's broken arm spewed out ancient jade miasma, and the tracker that fell out of the mechanical parts was engraved with the emblem of the Beast Alliance, which was exactly the same as the emblem of Ye Wuhen's bronze box.
"The ash veins are mixed with the first generation corpse powder." Madam Hong's crystal heels crushed the star marrow fragments, and the flying crystals condensed into a miniature coffin shape in the air. The mechanical prosthesis at the slit of her cheongsam suddenly transformed into a particle knife, splashing bronze sparks when cutting off the attacking red lotus roots, "He is using you to feed the mother beast."
When Mo Yan dragged Su Ye into the secret door, the tracker protruding on the boy's back was emitting a bronze resonance. The ice crystal tail of the Snow Shadow Wolf engraved the mirror world coordinates on the wall, and those star patterns perfectly overlapped with the prisoner chains displayed by Qing Lan. The cold air in the underground sewer made Su Ye cough up blood foam with ice chips, and the black spots had spread to his collarbone, and every pattern was extracting his body temperature.
"Hold on!" Mo Yan tore open his shirt, revealing the beating red lotus birthmark on his heart. Half of an ancient jade fragment was embedded in the center of the birthmark, generating gravity with the bronze box in Su Ye's arms, "My blood can neutralize..." Three bronze chains broke through the wall, with the tip carrying the smelly mucus of the mother beast, instantly piercing his right shoulder.
The blue light on the other side of the dark river came from the compound eyes of the Ice Soul Spider Emperor, and Ling Shuang's curled up figure was reflected in the hexagonal pupil. The spider silk ice crystals on the iron cage were eroding the girl's body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her ice-cracked pupils reflected Su Ye: "Go... It smells the smell of the bronze box..."
As soon as the Snow Shadow Wolf's ice claws touched the iron cage, the spider silk instantly wrapped around Su Ye's wrist. As the ice poison rushed into his heart, he saw the spider king on Ling Shuang's shoulder tearing his skin - the eight compound eyes of the creature rolled the embryonic image of the bronze box, and the star pattern on the abdomen flashed synchronously with the countdown on the back of Su Ye's hand. The ancient jade pollution index soared red on the retina, and the number plummeted from 3 years and 1 month to 2 years and 7 months.
Madam Hong's ancient jade syringe pierced Ling Shuang's neck, and the cedar scented liquid flowing in the syringe was the preservative in the specimen bottle in his father's laboratory. Ling Shuang suddenly twitched violently, and the ice soul spider silk ran wild and pierced Su Ye's vitrified right arm. At the critical moment, the bronze box in his arms suddenly cracked, and the experimental log of 1997 automatically played:
[On July 15, X-1997 and the Snow Shadow Wolf cub had a symbiotic reaction, and it is recommended to immediately purify the blood. ] The female voice in the audio has electronic noise, and the voiceprint analysis shows that it is a perfect match with the young priestess in Qinglan's memory.
The spider silk vaporized the moment it touched the bronze box, and the ice soul bead on Ling Shuang's heart suddenly burst into a strong light. Su Ye's glass right arm showed a double star pattern, half of which was the thorn totem of the Snow Shadow Wolf, and the other half was the ice crystal network of the Spider King.
Su Ye used his glassy right arm to block the Spider King's fangs, and the star marrow and ancient jade collided in his blood vessels to form an ice-fire contract array. The Snow Shadow Wolf and the Spider King's phantom bit and merged in the air, and the ice crystals and spider silk intertwined into a cocoon, temporarily sealing the energy of the runaway mother beast. The countdown on the back of his hand jumped back to 3 years and 1 month at the moment the contract took effect, but the black spots had already climbed up half of Su Ye's cheek, and the blood vessels under the star pattern were gradually vitrified.
"Ice and fire counteract each other, it can last for 30 days." Madam Hong wiped the blood-stained needle tube, and the mechanical prosthesis popped up a holographic projection. In the picture, Ling Shuang's cloned sister was sleeping in the incubator, and the spider eggs on her chest expanded and contracted with the heartbeat of the mother beast, "but her heart..." She lifted Ling Shuang's collar, and inside the ice soul bead embedded in the girl's heart, curled up a miniature Spider King larva.
Qian Shisan's body suddenly projected on the top of the waterway, and his electronic brain was flowing with a torrent of data: [Maternal awakening progress 71%]. The holographic screen switched to the ruins of the auction house, and twelve new bronze coffins were opening, with the arms of the first-generation corpses covered with star patterns extending from the coffins. The knuckles of those arms were all embedded with fragments of ancient jade that originated from Mo Yan's birthmark.
The Snow Shadow Wolf suddenly growled at Madam Hong, and the first-generation star patterns appeared on its youthful hair. A violent explosion was heard from the direction of the auction house, and Ye Wuhen's broken blade pierced Qian Shisan's brows - the star pattern that emerged when the blade devoured the ancient jade poison was exactly the same as the one engraved inside the bronze box. The last image of the corpse's electronic eye was that the mother beast was awakening underground, and the pattern on its back armor was the enlarged No. 1997 experimental label.
Ling Shuang opened her icy eyes in Su Ye's arms and lightly touched the black spots spreading on his neck with her fingertips: "We... are all chosen sacrifices..." Her breath condensed into frost flowers on her glassy skin, and the pattern was exactly the energy-absorbing talisman on the bronze coffin.
