Chapter 308 Destined Person
Meng Ruyue felt as if she had fallen into an endless dark abyss. The fear surged into her heart like a tide, wrapping her tightly and making it impossible for her to breathe.
This was an unprecedented fear. Even in all the memories she had accumulated over the long years of two lifetimes, she could not find a moment that could compare to it.
In fact, death is not scary for Ru Yue, she can even face it calmly, but the scene of being bitten to death by a huge python at this moment makes her feel creepy.
If the snake could have made her lose consciousness instantly with a single bite, perhaps that would have been a mercy. However, the thought that she might clearly hear the disgusting sound of the snake chewing on her body... just imagining that scene made Meng Ruyue feel her stomach churn and her whole body tremble.
She prayed silently in her heart, asking God to have mercy on her, a good person who had experienced ten reincarnations and had always been kind and upright. It would be better for her to be scared to death than to suffer such cruel torture.
At this moment, a calm and magnetic voice like the sound of nature reached her ears: "I told you not to scare her, look how scared you made her."
Although the voice sounded very gentle, Meng Ruyue still closed her eyes and did not dare to open them at all.
The visual impact of the bloody mouth was so strong and shocking that she had no courage to face such a horrific sight.
"How could I scare her? I've waited for so many years, I just wanted to see with my own eyes what the person we've been waiting for looks like. Who could have expected that she would be so timid!" Another slightly lazy voice sounded, retorting with some dissatisfaction.
Were these two people talking about me? How abominable! Damn it, a snake head that big was pressed tightly against my face, its maw wide open. Who wouldn't be terrified by such a terrifying scene? Ru Yue cursed silently in her heart, but she didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.
The surroundings suddenly fell into deathly silence, and the strange sound from before never sounded again.
This sudden silence rekindled a glimmer of hope in Ru Yue's heart: Could it be that the terrifying snake had been subdued by those two mysterious people? Otherwise, why would it let go of such a tender and delicious thing instead of swallowing it whole?
Thinking of this, Ru Yue couldn't help but encourage herself in her heart. After mustering up her courage, she narrowed her eyes slightly and began to look around carefully.
This space was vast and boundless, with no end in sight. Strangely, despite appearing to be extremely empty, a light emanated from nowhere, allowing him to clearly see everything before him.
No matter how carefully Ru Yue searched, she could not find any trace of the giant snake that was so close to her and almost took her life. Even the two mysterious figures were nowhere to be seen.
"Could it be... could it be that everything that just happened was just an illusion? Or was it that I was seeing things?" Ru Yue's eyes widened, and she muttered to herself in disbelief. "Or is it that even my ears are malfunctioning, and those sounds I heard were actually imaginary auditory hallucinations?"
After inexplicably falling into this strange and unpredictable space, Ru Yue experienced all kinds of strange things, which made her deeply doubt herself. She racked her brains but could not figure out what went wrong.
"Since you dare to open your eyes, then come and see me." The lazy voice seemed to carry an invisible magic, and once again came slowly from not far away.
Ru Yue couldn't help but shudder, a chill running through her heart. She quickly looked in the direction of the sound. However, as far as she could see, there was nothing but a vague image in the darkness, and no human figure.
At this moment, she suddenly discovered that in the dark corner there was a huge snake and an extremely large turtle tightly entangled together!
The big snake was agile, twisting its soft and flexible body as fast as lightning; while the turtle was like a solid fortress, with its head tilted steadily, and its round eyes staring at him.
For some reason, Ru Yue felt that there was no greed or desire for food in their eyes. Instead, they seemed to be full of curiosity and doubt, and were carefully exploring and looking at her.
She stared at them blankly, and seemed to understand the meaning of their eyes in an instant.
However, how can such an incredible scene not make people feel suspicious?
She couldn't help but reach out and rub her eyes vigorously, trying to prove that she was not hallucinating or seeing things because of excessive fear.
"Just now... were you two talking?" After hesitating for a long time, Ru Yue finally plucked up the courage and asked cautiously and tentatively.
At this moment, she was completely confused and disoriented by what was happening before her eyes.
Just as she finished speaking, suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out, echoing in the silent space.
The laughter came so suddenly that Ru Yue was caught off guard and couldn't help but lock her eyes on the big turtle.
She didn't know why, but she had a strong intuition in her heart - this laughter must come from its mouth!
She slowly stood up from the ground, her steps seemed a little shaky and unsteady, and she approached the tightly entangled turtle and snake, stopping every step.
With every step she took, she could clearly feel her heart beating faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
When she was finally only a few steps away from the turtle snake, she stopped, calmed down a little, and then asked in a slightly uncertain tone: "Are...are you talking to me?"
There was silence all around, no one responded to her question.
At this moment, the turtle snake's head moved slightly. Although the movement was very slight, she still captured this change keenly, and a hint of surprise surged in her heart - could it be that this was really their response to her?
After she felt that the other party had no ill intentions, her tense nerves gradually relaxed and she became a little bolder.
So, she took a few cautious steps forward, trying to get a clearer look at the mysterious creature in front of her.
As she got closer, the bold thought in her heart became stronger and stronger: Could it be... Could it be that they really are... No! This is absolutely impossible! Those are just legendary existences, how could they appear in this place alive?
Thinking of this, she widened her eyes and stared in disbelief at the turtle and snake still entangled with each other in front of her, her eyes full of astonishment and confusion.
At this moment, a low and magnetic voice suddenly came into her ears: "You guessed right."
When she heard this, her whole body trembled violently and she froze in place for an instant.
After a long while, she came back to her senses and stammered, "You...what did you say? Are you really...the legendary Xuanwu?"
After receiving a positive answer, Ru Yue finally felt relieved.
She thought to herself: Since I can revive the dead body and possess Shennong's small world space, then encountering the so-called ancient mythical beast Xuanwu here does not seem so difficult to accept.
Without giving her any time to react, the lazy voice came slowly: "We have finally got you here."
Hearing this, Ru Yue was stunned for a moment. Blinking her big eyes, she asked in confusion, "Wait for me? Why are you waiting for me? And how do you know about me?"
The mythical beast Xuanwu explained slowly, "We are the Xuanwu, one of the Four Symbols, and also one of the Four Spirits that protect the Great Emperor. When the Great Emperor ascended to heaven, he sealed us four spirits in four different locations and told us to await the arrival of our destined one. Only when he breaks these seals can we return to the holy realm."
"What? You mean... I am the destined one?" Ru Yue was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. She stood there in a daze, her mind blank.
Is it true that everything in this world is really predetermined by fate?
"Yes, that's right." Xuanwu nodded affirmatively.
"Since you are the four spirits of the emperor, why doesn't he let you go directly back to the Holy Land of Hundred Herbs (if you have forgotten the relevant plot, you can go back to Chapter 15)?" She asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Xuanwu shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "After the Great Emperor ascended, the spiritual energy in the Holy Land suddenly became extremely thin, and it was no longer able to support our survival. Since you have taken on the responsibility of the Holy Land, you should know that the spirits that protect the Holy Land have gradually turned into stone after the Great Emperor's departure due to the lack of sufficient spiritual energy nourishment."
Hearing this, she couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed, "Oh my God, A Ling! How could I have forgotten about this!"
When she thought about how anxious and almost crazy A Ling might be because of her sudden disappearance, her heart tightened instantly and a deep sense of guilt surged in her heart.
