Chapter 418: Chapter 328: Absorbing Life
Although the sky had darkened, there were no clouds blocking their view. Utilizing the moonlight, the three of them continued scavenging amongst the surrounding corpses.
After half a night of searching, each person found something and hurriedly rushed back.
On the ground full of bodies, especially those of the Black and White Warriors, there were, more or less, some items. They didn’t care about other things; they only gathered up the Time Coins. In half a night, they managed to amass a large number of Time Coins, which were piled in front of Su Yu. However, they all looked at each other in silence, unsure about how to use them.
"Ada, hey, Ada, we’ve found the Time Coins, what should we do next?" Zhang Zhongmou gently shook Ada. Eventually, Ada opened his eyes a crack, having to exert all his strength just to do so. It was evident to everyone that Ada and Su Yu’s condition was increasingly critical, cold sweat poured down their backs, their anxiety was beyond description.
For Zhang Zhongmou and Ma Ziye, they dared not imagine what they would do if something really happened to Su Yu. It would be as if the world was collapsing, they could not envision how they would survive.
Ada opened her listless eyes. Zhang Zhongmou quickly repeated his question. Ada’s lips moved slightly and everyone leaned in closer to hear.
"Nee...d... Day Coin... Help me...." Ada’s voice was so faint it was barely audible.
"Day Coin? What is a Day Coin?" asked Zhang Zhongmou, having clearly heard Ada’s words, he called out loudly.
"Coins... with... ’Day’... engraved..." Ada struggled to say before her voice gave out. Ma Ziye immediately called out, "I understand now, everyone hurry and find, find Time Coins with ’Day’ engraved on them!" She immediately began searching through the pile of Time Coins they had collected.
All of these Time Coins had the word "Time" engraved on them. These "Time Coins" couldn’t be directly absorbed. Their main purpose was for transactions and to be used as the raw material to manufacture "Day Coins". It required a considerably complex process to transform a "Time Coin" into a directly absorbable "Day Coin". In the market, it cost fifty Time Coins for one Day Coin.
"They all have ’time’ engraved on them, is there any Time Coin with ’day’ engraved?" Zhang Zhongmou cried out as he continued to search through the pile of Time Coins.
Ma Ziye remained silent, examining each coin carefully. As the saying goes, fortune favors those who persevere. She eventually found two Time Coins with "Day" engraved on them among the numerous coins.
"Ada, we found them, these two have ’Day’ engraved on them." Ma Ziye, nervously placed the two "Day Coins" in front of Ada.
Ada, who had closed his eyes, slightly trembled as if Ma Ziye’s words gave him a boost. He forced his eyes to open a crack.
"Place... them... on... me..."
Even Ada’s words were choppy, Ma Ziye quickly placed the two "Day Coins" carefully onto Ada’s body. She was shaking slightly out of intense nervousness.
Once the "Day Coins" were placed on Ada’s body, he closed his eyes. Then, something incredible happened. Zhang Zhongmou, Ren Honglin saw the two "Day Coins" slowly melt. Strange life energy, visible to the naked eye, flowed into Ada’s body. At the same time, black powder that was invisible to the naked eye rose from the "Day Coins" and drifted away with the wind. The "Day Coins" continually shrunk until they eventually disappeared. At the same moment, Ada opened his eyes. The crowd noticed that there was finally a glint of vitality in his eyes.
Ada struggled a bit, then changed his position in Su Yu’s arms. He reached out his two small paws and placed them on Su Yu’s chest. Slowly, his body began to give off a faint black flame, which extended from his body, through his paws, into Su Yu’s immobile body. Gradually, a similarly faint black flame began to appear around Su Yu’s body.
Although the flame was so faint it was almost imperceptible, it was indeed there.
Under this extremely faint flicker of life, Su Yu’s vitality began to strengthen. His originally barely perceptible heartbeat became stronger once more.
"Su Yu... Su Yu..." Ma Ziye pressed her hands together, covering her mouth, her body trembling slightly. Zhang Zhongmou swung his arm nervously, murmuring, "Damn it... Damn it... Wake up... Wake up..."
The process didn’t last long. Ada curled up and fell back into Su Yu’s arms. At that moment, Su Yu’s eyes fluttered open, he was finally awake.
"Ada--" The first thing Su Yu did when he woke up was to cradle Ada in his arms. It was as though he fully understood what had just happened.
Ada opened her listless eyes, gave a weak nod, before falling unconscious.
Su Yu looked at his hands and felt his face. They were still as wrinkled and aged as before. But the life sign within his body was much stronger. The life energy from the two Day Coins did play a beneficial role. However, it was still far from enough to fully heal Su Yu and Ada.
"Everyone, look again and see if there are any more Time Coins. Only those with ’Day’ engraved on them will be of use." Looking at the unconscious Ada, Su Yu cautiously stood up.
"Su Yu, how are you feeling now?" Even though Su Yu hadn’t regained his youthful appearance, the fact that he was awake made Zhang Zhongmou feel a sense of relief. At least he was no longer directionless and unsure like before.
Shaking his head, Su Yu replied, "The situation is not good. Let’s skip the details for now. Please help me find the ’Heavenly Coin’."
"We’ve searched all the bodies here. Let’s check over there," suggested Ren Honglin.
Su Yu nodded. He still felt weak and wobbly on his feet, barely having any strength left. As Zhang Zhongmou propped him up, they proceeded through the area littered with bodies, their search illuminated by the faint glow of the night.
"How are Lin Shi and the others right now?" Su Yu asked.
Shaking his head, Zhang Zhongmou replied, "I don’t know. We can’t find them. I have no idea what condition they’re in now."
Ren Honglin let out a small sigh. His bond with Lin Shi, Meng Bo, and Gu Lingshuang was incredibly deep. Thus, their current unknown fate turned him anxious. All he could do now was searching for the ’Heavenly Coin’ while closely observing the bodies strewn around. He feared finding the bodies of Lin Shi and his friends among them.
As they searched, they found several Time Coins amongst the bodies. However, not a single Heavenly Coin was discovered.
Su Yu steadied himself. He had only walked for a short while when he already felt his heart pounding and began sweating profusely. Holding onto Zhang Zhongmou for support, he stopped and started gasping for air.
The damage he sustained from invoking the Demon Divine Beast, and the colossal hit the beast received from the Power of Rules, was beyond his wildest imagination.
"Su Yu..." Zhang Zhongmou hastily held him up. Su Yu, with his head full of white hair and a pale, wrinkled face, looked like a terrifying specter.
"I...am...fine..." Su Yu gasped. Quickly, Zhang Zhongmou helped him to sit down, saying, "You should rest here. We’ll go search for it."
Realizing his critical condition, Su Yu nodded and whispered, "Sorry... for the trouble..."
Zhang Zhongmou sighed and gently shook his head, asserting, "What are you saying? The most important thing right now is for you to get better. We’re all counting on you." After that, they spread out, meticulously checking every body in the hope of finding the Heavenly Coin.
Leaning against a tree, Su Yu gazed at Ada. Ada’s injuries were still not healed. He knew as Ada’s Master of Companion, their souls were intertwined. Ada’s feeble state was not just because of his injuries but also because Su Yu himself was too weak. This adverse effect was dragging Ada down as well.
"Ada...we...will be fine..." Embracing Ada tightly, Su Yu consoled the hurt creature. His concern for Ada was not just about their mutual survival but also because of the deep bond he shared with it.
Seeing Ada in this condition, Su Yu felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
They searched through the night until dawn when Ma Ziye, Zhang Zhongmou, and the others finally returned with tired faces. Each of them had several Heavenly Coins in their hands.
Having searched through the thousands of bodies scattered around, they had finally found what they were looking for. They had brought back hope.
Seeing the three of them worn out, Su Yu was moved but unable to articulate his feelings. He took the Heavenly Coins they handed him. Closing his eyes slightly, he held the coins in his hand, letting the life energy flow into his body, then transferred all of it to Ada.
As Ada’s Master of Companion, only he could communicate with Ada’s soul and inject this immensely large life force into Ada’s body.
With the infusion of this vast life force, Ada’s injuries began to heal slowly.
After channeling the immense life energy into Ada, Su Yu felt more drained. His already worn face turned ghostly pale. However, Ada’s body started to vitalize. Though not fully recovered, it regained consciousness, its eyes shining with vitality.
"Su Yu," Ada woke up and immediately jumped up, landing on the ground.
Seeing Ada’s rejuvenated state, Su Yu gave a small smile. Finally, there was a hint of joy on his face. (To be continued. To read more, please visit www.qidian.com, more Chapters are available, support the author, support original reading!)
