Chapter 173 Cilantro Makes its Appearance, Sang Ling Feels Exhausted
Crossing a dividing line felt like entering another world.
The sweltering heat was almost unbearable, and even the little ball couldn't stand it and went into hibernation.
In just over ten seconds, Fang Xu was drenched in sweat, while Sang Ling seemed unfazed and quickened her pace, dragging the half-dead Fang Xu along.
"Bang, bang, bang"
A dull yet powerful sound kept coming from my ears.
Suddenly, the person at her feet let out a wail. Sang Ling stopped, frowned, and turned around. She saw that Fang Xu looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his face pale.
Large burn marks appeared on the skin that had come into contact with the ground.
This indicates that the temperature here has reached a very high value.
Sang Ling glanced at him indifferently, ignoring his screams and continued walking inside. Before long, a strange burning smell filled the air.
People always have to pay the price for their greed and ignorance.
The further Fang Xu went, the more pain he felt, because he found that not only were the ground and walls untouchable, but even the air began to burn his skin.
"No, I don't want to go in, let me go!" Fang Xu finally couldn't take it anymore and began to scream and struggle.
However, Sang Ling's slender hands were like steel, gripping him firmly, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Finally, when he was tortured beyond recognition, they saw it...
Sang Ling stood still, gazing quietly ahead, and slowly opened her eyes wide.
Well, although she had always known of its existence, this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
But...it's truly shocking.
Ahead of them, at the deepest part of the cave, a huge, heart-shaped red gemstone was slowly vibrating.
It bounced rhythmically, one beat after another.
It floats in the air like a heart, emitting a faint light, rising and falling with a series of awe-inspiring beats.
Fang Xu was also stunned, and fell to the ground, staring blankly and infatuated at the pulsating ruby.
So obsessed that they forgot the pain of their palms being burned.
"Is this the legendary earth vein?"
Since he discovered the anomaly here and took control of the place, he has tried to enter countless times, but has never succeeded.
Sweat dripped down Fang Xu's face, his complexion grew paler, but the fervor in his eyes intensified.
He even staggered to his feet, cautiously and excitedly reaching out to touch the earth's veins.
What he had been pursuing all his life was now right before his eyes, within reach.
But before he could even get close, the heatwave on his face burned his arm.
"Ah ah ah..."
Sang Ling didn't even glance at the person writhing on the ground in pain. She stepped over him and walked step by step toward the pulsating earth veins, her lips slightly pursed.
Then, after circling the ley lines, the person hidden on the other side of the ley lines appeared before her.
The black-clad youth, who had been quietly gazing up at the earth's veins, slowly turned his head. His dark eyes were fixed on Sang Ling, and his thin lips parted slightly as he uttered a sound devoid of any bullying.
"You came."
Sang Ling pursed her lips and called out the other person's name, "Coriander".
Cilantro watched her quietly, without saying a word, obedient yet indifferent.
Looking at his stubbornness, Sang Ling laughed in exasperation, "You've grown quite bold, learning to run away from home."
Cilantro said expressionlessly, "I was stolen."
"If you didn't want to, who could steal you?" Sang Ling glared at him fiercely, as if looking at a bratty child.
Cilantro has fallen silent again.
"Why weren't you told?" Sang Ling questioned again.
Knowing what she was asking, Cilantro raised her cold, stern face and looked at the ley lines, her brows furrowing slightly as she began to explain.
"I thought I could send it back, but it seems I failed."
As she spoke, a hint of frustration appeared on her cold face.
He turned to look at Sang Ling and said, "Master, the first program you created for me was to protect the world, but I failed."
Hearing his words, Sang Ling gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Do you think you're Superman?"
Wake up! The program I set for you is to maintain world peace, not to save the earth.
"Isn't that right?" Cilantro asked in surprise.
Sang Ling looked at him expressionlessly.
Are you crazy too?
After thinking for a moment, Cilantro nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, you fit the Superman character better."
"Shut up." Sang Ling felt exhausted.
She didn't want to be complimented by a robot as looking like someone who wears their underwear on the outside.
coriander:"……"
Sweet Potato dreams of being Superman every day, so why does she not seem very happy about it?
The sweet potato, which was following behind the potato, suddenly sneezed, rubbed its bottom, and looked up in confusion.
Huh, who's thinking about him?
Sang Ling was worrying about the sudden situation when Fang Xu's scream suddenly came from behind her.
Looking back, he saw Fang Xu being grabbed in front of a boy who had appeared out of nowhere, and being forced step by step toward the ley lines.
"You little beast, let me go, let me go!" Fang Xu screamed as the heat scorched him inch by inch.
"Bear with it, Doctor. Can't you see? The ley lines you've been dreaming of are right in front of you. If I can get even a little bit of the power of the ley lines, I can become even more powerful than Number 1."
"Isn't this what you've always wanted to see?" The boy hiding behind Fang Xu to escape the heat had greedy eyes and a sinister smile.
“No, no!!!”
As the last note faded, Fang Xu was instantly engulfed by the heatwave, and even the boy hiding behind him was not spared, his arm was burned.
With success within reach, the boy endured the pain of burning flesh and reached out to touch the earth's veins.
Before he could even make contact, a flying knife stabbed his hand, forcing him to retreat step by step.
He looked up angrily at the young man blocking the ley lines.
Cilantro stood with the knife in hand, like a pine tree, coldly watching Fang Xu, "No one is allowed to touch it."
The boy, no longer feigning innocence, now wore a ferocious and sinister expression. He sneered, and several spider legs materialized behind him.
"Then I'll kill you and take the ley lines."
The two clashed and fought fiercely.
Sang Ling, standing to the side, was speechless for two reasons.
When she first discovered the boy was missing, she thought he had run away for his life, but she never expected that he had secretly followed them and was holding in a huge lump of urine.
But what secret weapon does he have that makes him so confident he can defeat cilantro?
Before Sang Ling could finish her thought, the boy had three spider legs broken off, fell to her feet, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Sang Ling: ━┳━ ━┳━
Oh, he's just terrifyingly confident.
