Chapter 231 231: Projecting!
"Calm down, Li Tang Xue...I mean Tang Li Xue! Maybe I am in an illusion or even a dream... No, I should be in the Sun Dragon King"s memories, right?!" Tang Li Xue forced herself to calm down and thought more clearly.
Her deduction from the facts seemed very plausible, but there was nothing happened at all even after she waited for a very long time!
In the complete darkness where she could not see anything, Tang Li Xue herself did not know how much time has already pa.s.sed, but she honestly felt that she already waited for many days or even several months.
Strangely, she did not feel hungry or thirsty at all...
Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth as her mind was on the verge of insanity in the endless waiting amidst this complete darkness, so she finally decided: "Let"s try to walk out from here!"
Tang Li Xue tried to move her rigid limbs, but she felt the weakness spreading from her entire body. She could not even stand up properly and could only crawl forward.
Moreover, the ground where she stood was extremely unstable and moved violently every time she crawled forward.
Bonk~!!!
Her head collided with something solid, and Tang Li Xue felt a bit of pain on her forehead.
"There is a wall here?" Tang Li Xue pondered for a few moments before decided to throw a punch at the wall in front of her.
BANG~!!! Crack...
Although, Tang Li Xue felt her body was strangely limp now, but her punch was strangely effective!
Her weak punch managed to make a tiny crack on the wall. A blinding white light shone from behind the crack!
After waiting for who knows how long, this white light shone from behind the crack was no different from the ray of hope for tang Li Xue.
"A light?! Finally... Finally... a way out!" Tang Li Xue thought in excitement and threw more punches to the crack repeatedly.
She felt stinging pain coming from both of her fists, but she did not care and punched the crack again and again.
BANG~!!! BANG~!!! BANG~!!!
The cracks on the wall started to spread bigger and bigger...
Crack... Crack... Crack...
Finally, the wall crumbled, and Tang Li Xue crawled outside...
The sunlight was too blinding for Tang Li Xue"s eyes that just came out from the darkest place, so she closed her eyes and took a deep breath instead.
For the first time after so long, the fresh air finally entered her lung. The sunlight which bathed her entire body felt so warm and cozy.
After a few tens of minutes, Tang Li Xue"s eyes began to get used to the dazzling sunlight, so she started to observe her current surroundings.
"Eh? Where... the h.e.l.l am I?!" Tang Li Xue agape in shock as she watched her surrounding environment in awe.
She was currently in the thick jungle!
....And it was not the usual thick jungle at all!
All the trees here were hundreds of meters tall and dozens of meters thick! The colors also differ from one another: green, red, violet, purple, yellow, and so on.
Moreover, there were many kinds of beasts that Tang Li Xue had never seen before.
Mountain-sized stone gorilla, a pack of rainbow-colored birds, black-winged wyrm, and so on.
Besides that... Tang Li Xue had actually just crawled out from an egg!
"Holysh*t! What is this sense of déjà vu?!" Tang Li Xue thought in a daze as she started to inspect her current body carefully.
Just like what she had guessed, she was in the body of a red dragon baby now!
Before Tang Li Xue could wake up from her daze, a colossal golden eagle already dived down toward her!
KKKKKEEEEEEAAAAAAKKKK~~!!!
The colossal golden eagle cried loudly as it landed in front of Tang Li Xue so swiftly!
"Wha..." Before Tang Li Xue has any time to react, the colossal golden eagle already thrust its sharp beak toward Tang Li Xue.
PPPUUUUFFF~~!!!
"d.a.m.n... it... hurts..." Tang Li Xue thought as the colossal golden eagle clamped her body tightly with its sharp beak.
The unbearable crus.h.i.+ng pain was spreading to her entire body.
Tang Li Xue already faced the situation where she almost died several times, but this was the first time she would die for real...
Tang Li Xue"s vision turned dark... when the colossal golden eagle tore her upper body and swallowed it whole...
.....
...
.
Tang Li Xue suddenly opened her topaz blue eyes and jumped down from her bed in alert!
She looked at her surroundings full of vigilant and realized that she was actually still in her own bedroom right now.
"Puuhaaaah... Cough... Cough... Cough... What an awful experience!" Tang Li Xue complained as her breath turned rough, and she coughed out continuously.
The first thing Tang Li Xue did was to check how much time had pa.s.sed right now.
She felt that she had already lived between a few months to one year in that dark s.p.a.ce... err... in that egg after all.
Surprisingly, Yaya was still asleep peacefully on her bed, and it was still in the middle of the night just like before.
After a meticulous check, Tang Li Xue realized that only less than one minute had pa.s.sed in reality!
"It seems I got a wrong idea about this [Sun Dragon King"s Pearl]"s third effect previously. I thought I would only see the memories of the Sun Dragon King like watching a 3D movie. But if it"s really like that, its effect will not say "projecting" but "show" or "display" instead." Tang Li Xue murmured while in deep thought.
"This true purpose of this [Sun Dragon King"s Pearl]"s third effect is probably to train the new dragon descendant by using the Sun Dragon King"s memories." Tang Li Xue concluded as her topaz blue eyes shone brighter and brighter in realization.
"Imagine if I can experience what the Sun Dragon King has been through in its entire life, from its birth and survival in that strange forest until it became the true most powerful dragon king in history?! Oh My G.o.d! This third effect is priceless too! In fact, the first three effects of this [Sun Dragon King"s Pearl] are so priceless that it feels unreal!" Tang Li Xue said as she licked her pinkish lips in joy and excitement.
What has the current Tang Li Xue lacked the most right now?
EXPERIENCE!
Tang Li Xue wasted almost all of her previous life in hospital, and she only reincarnated into this Immortal World for less than five months!
Therefore, the thing she lacked the most right now was experience whether life experience, battle experience, survival experience, and so on, Tang Li Xue lacked in all of them.
"Moreover, this [Sun Dragon King"s Pearl] still has three more unknown effects!" Tang Li Xue thought, and her smile turned even wider.
However, Tang Li Xue also knew that the more precious this [Sun Dragon King"s Pearl] was, the more people will go crazy and do anything to obtain it.
Tang Li Xue herself did not have any confidence to protect it with her current strength, and she did not know if anyone could deduce or guess that this priceless Holy-Rank divine treasure was currently in her hands just like what Instructor Mei Lan did.
"There is no point in worrying about something I cannot do... I should just need to focus on what I must do right now! Become stronger faster!" Tang Li Xue thought as her eyes shone with firm determination to get strong.
Tang Li Xue lied down on her bed and let her consciousness entered her Dantian again. Tang Li Xue dripped her blood on the [Sun Dragon King"s Pearl] again just like before.
Currently, she already knew what she needs to do, so she immediately broke the egg and crawled out from it.
Tang Li Xue did not wait for the colossal golden eagle to come and run as fast as she could from where she was.
KKKKKEEEEEEAAAAAAKKKK~~!!!
But the colossal golden eagle was way faster than Tang Li Xue and caught up to her in no time.
Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth in frustration and tried to hide on the nearby giant tree.
PPPUUUUFFF~~!!!
The giant tree and tang Li Xue split in two like tofu under the sharp talon of the colossal golden eagle, and Tang Li Xue died again.
"Again!" Tang Li Xue entered the Sun Dragon King"s memories for the third time.
After went out of the egg, Tang Li Xue dug a hole and hid in there for a while. The colossal golden eagle did not notice her, but she still died in the giant serpent"s mouth.
The fourth time, Tang Li Xue went into the river to drink some water and got eaten by countless piranha-like fishes.
The fifth time, Tang Li Xue tried to fight the giant serpent and died miserably.
The sixth time... died...
The tenth time... died...
The fiftieth time... still died...
The sixtieth time... still got eaten by the colossal golden eagle and died...
.....
...
.
In less than one hour, Tang Li Xue already died more than sixty times!
Tang Li Xue"s eyes turned bloodshot, and her face also became pale.
She has [Regeneration] skill, so sixty drops of blood were nothing for her, but the problem was her mental exhaustion.
She did not get injured or killed for real, but the pain and the death she felt was so real.
"Fuuuuhhh... Calm down, Tang Li Xue! Think!" Tang Li Xue murmured and decided to stop for a while then thought deeply with the help of all her skill such as: [Concentration], [Focus], [Strengthen Willpower], [Sharpen Mind], [Calculation], [Prediction], [Intelligence Enhancement] working at its maximum.
"I am a dragon for G.o.d"s Sake, why am I so weak?! This does not make sense at all!" Tang Li Xue complained in frustration.
But when Tang Li Xue saw the current sleeping Yaya, something very important flashed in her mind.
"Eh... Wait a minute... At that time, when Yaya hatched out from the egg... Didn"t she eat her own egg crust?" Tang Li Xue whispered softly as her eyes turned brighter.
