Chapter 188 Unlocking the Bead
The old man shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
His smile held a hint of helplessness and regret: "I can barely take care of myself, but I can give you a hint."
Although I am trapped here, I keep an eye on the changes in the outside world and hope that someone destined will come to change everything.
"Sigh, he can't do anything about it himself, but a hint is better than nothing."
The foliage was a little disappointed, but it still tried to cheer itself up.
"Keep moving forward along this passage, and at the end there is a barrier-breaking bead. It can temporarily break the restrictions, helping you leave this place and restore your magic power."
"With this unlocking bead, you have a glimmer of hope," the old man said earnestly.
"The Unsealing Bead? It sounds really powerful. With it, I can leave this place and restore my magic power. I must find it." Flower Leaf Grass secretly encouraged herself.
"But the Unlocking Pearl is regarded as a treasure by the divine beast that guards it. To obtain the Unlocking Pearl, you need to pass a test, which depends entirely on your fate."
The old man paused for a moment, looking at the flowers and grass.
"Are there any more tests? What are they?" asked the foliage.
The old man continued, "I don't know the specifics of the test either. That divine beast is extremely powerful and ferocious by nature, so the test is no easy task."
It guards the Unlocking Pearl to ensure that this power is not obtained at will.
"If you succeed, you will not only be able to leave this place, but you may also receive unexpected opportunities."
The old man squinted slightly, as if he had seen something possible.
"If only we could succeed, we might even get some unexpected benefits, which would make saving the continent even more hopeful," Flower Leaf Grass dreamed.
"If we fail..." The old man paused slightly at this point.
She didn't continue, but the foliage understood the danger; it could very well mean losing its life.
After speaking, the old man's figure gradually dissipated, and the soft blue light dimmed as well.
It was as if he were merely a phantom in this mysterious space, destined to return to nothingness after fulfilling his mission.
"Oh no, what kind of test is this? What am I going to do? That divine beast is so ferocious, how could I possibly defeat it..."
"No, I can't give up. I must try for the sake of the continent." Flower Leaf Grass was very conflicted, but she still made up her mind.
"I can't fail. I have to get out of here alive and find my sisters." Flower Leaf clenched her fists, her eyes resolute.
"Grandpa, thank you for your tip. I'm sure I'll succeed."
Hua Yecao gazed in the direction where the old man had disappeared, secretly vowing to pass the test.
"I cannot fail the old man's advice. I must obtain the Unlocking Pearl, find my sisters, and save the fantasy continent."
No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will not back down! She gritted her teeth and walked resolutely deeper into the passage, each step filled with determination.
Despite the increasingly mysterious atmosphere around her, she had only one unwavering thought in her mind at this moment.
As they continued their journey, the passage became increasingly narrow, and the eerie green light grew weaker and weaker.
It seemed as if it could vanish at any moment, leaving only endless darkness.
However, the mysterious rune light grew stronger and stronger, and the frequency of the runes flashing increased.
The light flickered, seemingly warning her of the danger she was about to face.
The light was like a pair of eyes, watching the flowers, leaves, and grass every move.
"The light is getting stronger and stronger. Does that mean danger is getting closer? I'm so scared... No, I can't be afraid. I have to bravely move forward."
The foliage encouraged itself as it cautiously continued forward.
Finally, the foliage reached the end of the passage, where a huge, empty cave appeared before them.
The cave is exceptionally spacious, with a high ceiling that seems to connect to the sky.
The cave walls were uneven, exuding a primitive and mysterious atmosphere.
"We've finally reached the end. The Unlocking Pearl should be here. I wonder what awaits me." Flower Leaf Grass was both nervous and excited.
In the very center of the cave, a multicolored light-emitting unblocking bead floated in the air.
The light emanating from the Unsealing Pearl was like a soft veil, casting a dreamlike glow over everything around it.
A faint halo surrounded the Unsealing Pearl, within which a mysterious power seemed to flow.
Like a babbling brook, it exudes an alluring light, as if beckoning to the flowers and grasses.
"What a beautiful unsealing bead! Is this what can help me break the seal? It feels full of power."
Drawn by the light of the Unlocking Bead, the foliage unconsciously quickened its pace.
Beneath the Unlocking Bead lay a gigantic divine beast.
It turned out to be a female Qilin, its entire body covered in scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen.
Each scale is like a fine gemstone, refracting iridescent light under the illumination, both magnificent and majestic.
Its head resembles that of a lioness, exuding an innate domineering aura. Its eyes are tightly closed, yet it still radiates a chilling presence.
"Is this the divine beast guarding the unlocking orb? It looks terrifying. How am I supposed to pass the test...?"
The heartbeat of the foliage suddenly quickened, and its palms sweated with nervousness.
Flower Leaf Grass took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and slowly walked towards the Unlocking Bead.
Her steps were light and careful, each step feeling like she was stepping on her own heartbeat.
"Don't disturb it, we must get the Unlocking Pearl smoothly..." Flower Leaf Grass prayed silently in her heart.
As the foliage approached, the divine beast suddenly opened its eyes; in that instant,
Two sharp gazes shot straight at us, like two bolts of lightning piercing the darkness.
The divine beast, the mother Qilin, had originally opened her blood-red maw, preparing to unleash a fiery attack, but when her gaze fell upon the flower-leaf grass...
Just then, the mother Qilin was surprised to see a very cute little girl walking slowly towards them with light and quick steps.
Upon closer inspection, the little girl was truly exquisitely beautiful and endearing.
Her small face was as red as a ripe apple, and her big, watery eyes were clear and bright.
Like twinkling stars in the night sky, they exude an irresistible air of innocence.
Looking at her clothes, although they were a little disheveled, they actually added to her playful and cute charm.
At that moment, the foliage was staring ahead in terror, muttering to itself, "It's going to attack me... Ah, why did it stop?"
Just moments ago, she was filled with despair, but suddenly she noticed that the ferocious divine beast in front of her had stopped attacking.
This sudden change filled her with doubt and surprise.
At this moment, the mother Qilin, who was originally furious, suppressed her burning rage in an instant.
At this moment, his eyes sparkled with starlight, a dazzling light filled with boundless affection.
It spoke in a particularly gentle and melodious voice: "Little child, how did you come here all alone? Have you lost your way?"
"Don't be afraid, I am a very kind person. If you need any help, just let me know."
The voice was as gentle as a warm spring breeze brushing across a calm lake.
Compared to the awe-inspiring aura it had just exuded, it was worlds apart.
"This...this is completely different from what the old man described. Why is it treating me so well?"
