Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Invading the Core of Wind Shadow Jade

A pair of cold arms embraced Chen Qing, pulling him out just in time from sinking into the Dead Water.

Without hesitation, she then put an end to A Zhiqiu’s life, who was still in the Dead Water, considering it a merciful conclusion for her.

A life riddled with wickedness, it was enough for it to conclude right here.

The Blast Battle Rabbit, who had pulled Chen Qing out of the Dead Water, promptly retreated from the area about to be completely consumed by the Dead Water along with the Mini Rabbit that had been staying by Chen Qing’s side, as well as the Super Shield Whale and the Water Healing Butterfly.

Of course, the Mini Rabbits didn’t forget to take A Zhiqiu’s body with them.

The body was still useful.

In the distance, the Muscle Turtles were eagerly awaiting Chen Qing.

This thrilling and perilous ordeal was a first for them.

Dead Water, eh? They had actually escaped with their lives from the hands of Dead Water!

Once the Blast Battle Rabbit brought Chen Qing to a temporary safe zone, the Water Healing Butterfly immediately came forward to check Chen Qing’s condition.

Another Blast Battle Rabbit and the Mini Rabbits dragged back the corpse of A Zhiqiu’s sea beast as they fled.

For both master pets to die on the same day was to fulfill their bond.

After the Water Healing Butterfly injected Chen Qing with a specially formulated Recovery Potion, he finally snapped out of that eerie state.

Having recovered, Chen Qing checked on the Blast Battle Rabbit and those Mini Rabbits that had briefly lingered in the Dead Water.

As expected, they all exhibited various degrees of corrosion and damage.

Such a condition was really rare, as Chen Qing observed the rust marks on the outer layer of the Blast Battle Rabbit’s arm, remaining silent.

Blast Battle Rabbit... rusting... These two terms were indeed difficult to associate, quite magical.

Yet, this also indirectly displayed the horror of the Dead Water, merely from such a brief contact, the Blast Battle Rabbit already exhibited such a condition.

This time, she had indeed been overly confident, and she would reflect on herself.

Confronting the Dead Water, which she had never encountered but was feared by everyone in the Deep Blue Sea, Chen Qing had been too reckless.

Even though the outcome was favorable, had there been any mistakes during the process, Chen Qing wouldn’t have had a second chance.

In the distance, the Dead Water had stopped spreading, with the bodies of several sea beasts floating within, shifting their positions.

From Chen Qing’s perspective, she could clearly see the Dead Water disintegrating those corpses.

The only sea beast still moving was the treasure-hunting Mechanical Fish, Wind Shadow Jade, which Chen Qing had been thinking about.

But the huge pink Jade at its center had already become dull and lusterless, also slowly dissolving.

Once the pink Jade completely melted into the Dead Water, Wind Shadow Jade would meet the same fate as the other sea beasts.

Dead Water...

Having recovered, Chen Qing looked at the Dead Water, lost in silence.

She wondered if there was any container that could hold Dead Water, as it would be useful to her.

Chen Qing opened the trading channel and swiftly purchased a large number of container props from it.

From White to Purple Quality, from F to B rank, everything she could find, Chen Qing bought all of it.

The most precious among them was the B rank Purple Quality Magic Water Bottle, which could contain an entire lake’s worth of water but was only meant for water.

Chen Qing was not sure if it could hold Dead Water, considering there was a significant difference between water and Dead Water.

The Mini Rabbits held containers of all sizes above their heads, supported by their ears, hopping toward the Dead Water to experiment.

They also pulled out the Wind Shadow Jade, and Chen Qing checked its condition.

After confirming that there were no remnants of Dead Water on it and that it had not been affected by Dead Water, he began to slowly attempt the invasion of its Mechanical Core.

While trying to carry the Dead Water, he simultaneously attempted to invade the Mechanical Core, attacking on both fronts.

Chen Qing’s spiritual power penetrated the Mechanical Core, activating the skills.

The core instantaneously transformed into a vast labyrinthine map displayed before Chen Qing.

She had only ten minutes to "walk out" of the labyrinth, find the true core of the Wind Shadow Jade and occupy it, which would signify a successful invasion, granting Chen Qing control over the Wind Shadow Jade.

If the invasion failed, the Mechanical Core of the Wind Shadow Jade would detonate, and Chen Qing’s spirit would also be damaged.

This was a true test of a mechanic’s ability and spiritual power.

To Chen Qing, what seemed to be an identical and chaotic route map held significant differences.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Qing chose one of the paths to explore.

Ultimately, as expected, she ended up in a dead-end.

At the moment she entered the dead-end, Chen Qing’s spiritual power was attacked, causing an immediate sharp pain in her mind.

Retracing her spiritual power to the starting point, the corners of Chen Qing’s lips slightly curled up; she knew which way to go now.

The Mechanical Core was composed of mechanical components, and naturally, the labyrinth was too.

As long as it was a mechanical problem, it wouldn’t be able to stump Chen Qing; she just needed enough time.

Listening to the sounds of the mechanical labyrinth, Chen Qing looked at the path before her and chose a completely different route from before.

This time, Chen Qing precisely avoided all the wrong choices, headed straight to the exit of the labyrinth and saw the true Mechanical Core.

The fragile, easily destructible Mechanical Core was placed on a high pedestal, continuously operating without interruption.

High above, Jade endlessly supplied it with energy, maintaining the stable operation of the core.

Her spiritual power enveloped the Mechanical Core, effortlessly seizing its control.

The eyes of the Wind Shadow Jade, trapped by the Blast Battle Rabbit, Mini Rabbits and a host of Muscle Turtles, changed color.

The originally black mechanical eyes flickered with a green light, signifying safety.

Chen Qing applied the settings from the previous world.

The Wind Shadow Jade, which was almost larger than Chen Qing herself, obediently floated in front of her, awaiting her command.

Chen Qing slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her swollen head. The invasion of the Mechanical Core had depleted much of her spiritual power, and she was already feeling mentally exhausted due to the Dead Water.

Now it felt even worse.

But fortunately, Chen Qing was accustomed to this feeling; discomfort did not affect her ability to work.

She quickly issued instructions to the Wind Shadow Jade to rejoin its group, lie in wait, and await her new orders.

Mechanical Core Invasion, if combined with skills related to the Mechanical Virus, the two skills together would be divine!

Unfortunately, Chen Qing didn’t have such skills, as Skill Books like that wouldn’t appear in the Deep Blue Sea.

To find related Skill Books, one must venture out of the Scarlet Sea Domain.

But even in the Scarlet Sea Domain, they are hard to come by; otherwise, Lei Guang wouldn’t have only sent one Mechanical Core Invasion Skill Book to Chen Qing.

Everything depends on luck, on fate.

And one’s fate, directed by unseen forces, cannot be easily changed.

After receiving the instructions, the Wind Shadow Jade quickly left the deep sea area, while on the other side, the Mini Rabbits also relayed some good news.
