812 Earthly Treasure

Su Xiaolu was speechless.

She rubbed her ears, grabbed the excited Mantis Shrimp, and asked him, “Do you smell it?”

Mantis Shrimp shook its head. “I can’t smell it, but I suddenly remembered that there are some records in the inheritance that Earthly Treasures will be born in the original worlds. This kind of treasure is extremely dangerous and is often only found in places that ordinary people can’t reach. The conditions to obtain it are too harsh. For example, this time, with such a high temperature, ordinary water-element superpowers can’t walk so far. Your water-element mark is not a simple mark.”

“Then what is it?” Su Xiaolu blurted out. Humans knew too little about superpowers.

“It’s the embodiment of rules,” Mantis Shrimp said seriously. Only then did he remember that he didn’t tell Su Xiaolu this and felt a little ashamed.

“That’s how you got here. Although we haven’t seen it yet, it’s only a matter of time before we find it in this area.”

Mantis Shrimp was almost starry-eyed. Why was his Xiaolu so powerful and awesome φ( ゚▽ ゚*).

“Now that you mention it, I’m looking forward to it. Let’s take a walk.”

Su Xiaolu stroked Mantis Shrimp’s fur and looked at the endless sand dunes. She once again felt the beauty of the desert.

Now that she was filled with spiritual energy, her energy was replenished. Everything was fine.

She continued forward with Mantis Shrimp.

Mantis Shrimp found the ground too hot and nestled in Su Xiaolu’s arms, unwilling to come down. On the way, it told Su Xiaolu many things.

Thousands of worlds, thousands of beliefs, thousands of laws.

Every rule only had one incarnation. Only after the incarnation died would the mark be obtained again.

Rules were far more powerful than special abilities.

Su Xiaolu thought of Zhou Zhi’s wood mark. Zhou Zhi was also the embodiment of wood.

They walked and stopped along the way. Apart from the heat, everything else was fine.

In the blink of an eye, it was already early June. Su Xiaolu looked at the big tree in the distance. She had seen it three days ago, but after walking for so long, the distance between her and the tree did not seem to have changed at all.

The spiritual energy was getting richer and richer, but accompanying it was scorching air.

Even if she erected several water walls around her, it was useless. The heat continued to spread to her body.

Mantis Shrimp was already as hot as a dog. It stuck out its tongue and panted.

The two of them were exhausted. Seeing that it was almost dark, they could only rest on the spot.

Su Xiaolu only ate a few mouthfuls of jerk before she couldn’t eat anymore. It was really too hot and she felt smoke rising from her throat.

It was just ahead. Should she give up now?

“Xiaolu, the more dangerous this treasure is, the more power it contains. The spiritual energy here is very dense. It’s good for us to absorb more spiritual energy. I can feel that your body is in danger. Don’t you humans have a saying that he who understands the times is a wise man?”

Mantis Shrimp was a little worried. Su Xiaolu’s mark was hot. He could feel that her body was uncomfortable.

He wanted to persuade Su Xiaolu to give up, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it, so he could only be tactful.

Su Xiaolu sighed. She stroked Mantis Shrimp’s head and said, “Hang in there for three more days. If this continues in three days, we’ll go back.”

She never gave up easily, but if she tried her best and it didn’t work, she wasn’t stubborn.

Everyone wanted good things and treasures, and so did she.

Without the water-elemental rule, she wouldn’t have been able to walk here. At this moment, as long as there was no water wall, the temperature outside would be thousands of degrees.

However, with water-elemental laws, the air she breathed was also 40 degrees.

It was hot. Too hot.

“Okay.”

Mantis Shrimp nodded.

At dawn, Su Xiaolu carried Mantis Shrimp and continued on her way.

Sweat dripped from her chin.

Su Xiaolu did not notice that the distance between her and the Heavenly Treasure tree was slowly closing.

It was a tree. There were some fruits on the tree. They were red like fireballs.

When Su Xiaolu realized that she could see more and more clearly, she turned red.

Her heart ached. She tore open her clothes to take a look. There was a crack in the mark on her chest.

Su Xiaolu stopped. The tree was already in front of her, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead and she could not take another step forward.

The tree seemed to have sensed something. Its branches drooped, and the red fruit was five steps away from Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu’s mouth was dry. She had a feeling that after eating this fruit, she would no longer feel hot, but she could not walk anymore.

This feeling was too painful.

“Xiaolu, don’t give up. I’ll help you.”

Mantis Shrimp’s cute voice was tenacious. He propped himself up and pressed his head against Su Xiaolu’s forehead. A white light seeped into Su Xiaolu’s body.

It was clear and comfortable. Su Xiaolu felt as if she had drunk dew. She immediately walked forward.

With one step, the cleanliness of her body was halfway gone.

In two steps, her body seemed to be on fire.

Three steps and her entire body was clamoring to stop. If she continued, she was going to explode.

If it was her, it was fine to go all out, but what about Mantis Shrimp?

At this moment, Mantis Shrimp’s voice sounded in her sea of consciousness. “Xiaolu, I can still hold on. Keep walking. It’s impossible for anyone to come to such a place. Even gods can’t come. Only the embodiment of rules of water can step here. If your insight into water laws isn’t deep enough, you won’t be able to walk here. But since you’re here, this Heavenly Treasure belongs to you.”

Su Xiaolu did not hesitate to take the fourth step.

She felt something surging in her chest. In a short moment, her mouth was filled with the smell of blood. She raised her hand with difficulty and reached for the red fruit, not afraid of the temperature that could melt people. At the same time, she took the fifth step.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

An ear-piercing roar immediately swept through Su Xiaolu’s sea of consciousness. She felt Mantis Shrimp’s head droop in her arms, and her body went limp. She fell and lost all consciousness.

After a long time, Su Xiaolu opened her eyes. She was stunned.

She looked around. It was an endless desert, but she was under a tree. She remembered.

However, the strange thing was that it was not hot at all. The air under the tree was refreshing and the spiritual energy was rich. With every breath she took, she felt a little dizzy as if she was drunk.

She transformed into a greedy whale and began to inhale the spiritual energy.

She didn’t stop until her meridians hurt.

Satisfied, she sat down and scooped Mantis Shrimp into her arms.

Mantis Shrimp had yet to wake up, but he slept soundly, and Su Xiaolu was relieved.

She began to sized up this tree. Apart from the unbearable temperature, there was no danger along the way. What could such a treasure bring?

The fruits on it were no longer red, but pink. There were a total of twelve fruits.

Su Xiaolu reached out and plucked one. The fruit was a little hard in her hand, but it slowly softened when she held it. The smell was fragrant. She took a bite. It was juicy and sweet. A powerful force fused into her body.
