In front of Ling Chen's eyes, the Warring Palace Skeleton that had fallen and should have been dead had actually stood up … What was different from before was that its body was covered with burn marks, but it had indeed stood up. In its hand, it was holding a terrifying giant sword.
"This … This is impossible …" Seeing this scene that he could not accept, Ling Chen muttered in a daze. He had clearly seen the damage that the Heavenly Wrath of the Nine Suns had dealt to it. That kind of damage was enough to instantly kill the Warring Palace Skeleton twice … it was clearly dead, so how could it still stand up!?
Its "death" had been exchanged with Xi Ling's life. Now that Xi Ling was on the verge of death, it had actually come back to life. How could Ling Chen accept this result!
But immediately, Ling Chen felt that something was different. The mountain-like Warring Palace Skeleton was very close to him, and its heavy voice shook his mind. However, the pressure that it gave off was much weaker than before, and Ling Chen did not feel like he was suffocating.
While he was feeling confused, the information that Little Gray had given him appeared in front of his eyes.

The skeleton's body also contains a large amount of energy that is unwilling to dissipate. It had originally been destroyed by the Flames of the Nine Suns, but its undying will allowed its soul to revive, although its strength has greatly decreased.

Of ….
The Warring Palace Skeleton was still the Warring Palace Skeleton. It had indeed been revived, and the last bit of its soul that had been incinerated had been revived by the girl's call. However, this last bit of soul could not bear the power it had before. The Warring Palace Skeleton's level hadn't changed, but its grade had dropped to Celestial grade.
Not only did the Warring Palace Skeleton's stats greatly decrease, its skills had also changed. The original skill "Total Darkness" had disappeared, and the effects of Earth Splitting Slash and Earth Shaking Trample had been greatly reduced. Especially its only attack skill, Earth Splitting Slash, which had a range of 20 meters, had been reduced to 10 meters!
This range of attack was already within the range that Ling Chen could deal with!
The resurrection of the Warring Palace Skeleton caused the black-clothed girl to smile like an exquisite doll. Her body floated up, and just like before, she floated into its palm and was protected by it. With one hand protecting the half-spirit girl and the other raising its giant sword, the Warring Palace Skeleton took its first step after its resurrection …
Boom!
He took a step forward, causing the ground to tremble as he closed the distance between him and Ling Chen. Ling Chen hugged the weakened Xi Ling tightly, and his eyes slowly narrowed … the Warring Palace Skeleton in front of him was no longer as scary, nor was it undefeatable. Even at his peak, he might not be able to break through the Heaven's End grade Warring Palace Skeleton's defense, but there was no reason why he couldn't break through the Celestial grade Warring Palace Skeleton's defense.
"Very good … are you giving me … a chance for Xi Ling to take revenge?"
As he muttered, Ling Chen put away his weapon. He took a step back, and then took Xi Ling and ran away as fast as he could. To him, there was nothing more important than Xi Ling's safety right now. What he needed the most was to find a quiet and safe place to settle Xi Ling down, or to find a way to save her.
One step from the Warring Palace Skeleton was equivalent to tens of steps from Ling Chen. Ling Chen should not have been able to escape from it, but when Ling Chen left the range of the eerie castle, the Warring Palace Skeleton stopped chasing him. It did not take another step forward, allowing Ling Chen to get further and further away, until he was out of its range of detection.
The Warring Palace Skeleton stopping its chase allowed Ling Chen to let out a small sigh of relief. After escaping from the Warring Palace Skeleton's aggro, he did not choose to return to the city, but instead continued to run for a long time, until he reached the location where the skeleton army had appeared. The skeleton army had been completely annihilated by Xi Ling's Burning Flame Array, and there was only a pile of white bones left. It was incomparably quiet. Ling Chen put Xi Ling down and asked, "Qi Yue, immediately tell me how to save Xi Ling."
"Put her back into the pet space first. After putting her back into the pet space, the rate at which she loses HP will be greatly reduced, which will greatly delay her death. "
Ling Chen nodded, and gently placed his hands on Xi Ling's body, "Xi Ling, rest well … no matter what, I won't let you die."
A red light flashed in front of him, and Xi Ling had already returned to the pet space. After becoming a pet, the strength of a creature in the Mystic Moon world would drop to that of a pet, but they would gain the same privilege as players … which was that they could revive after death. Although this rule could not save Xi Ling, it could still delay her death to a certain extent.
"Since Little Master wants to know, then I will tell Little Master. It's just that after I say it, Little Master may only gain hope, and then be even more disappointed, "Qi Yue said slowly.
Ling Chen, "…"
"Although Xi Ling did not die immediately, even if she is in the pet space where there is almost no life and energy consumption, she will not be able to support for too long. As far as I know, there are indeed two ways to save her. "
"Two?"
"Yes, two. To make Xi Ling not die, one of the ways is to reignite her fire source and revive her life force again. However, she has already used Nirvana to reignite her fire source, so it is really difficult to reignite it again … However, there is indeed a way to reignite her fire source. If that method is really achieved, not only can it reignite her fire source, but her flame manipulation ability will at least surpass the previous state. "
Qi Yue's description made Ling Chen's heart beat slightly faster. He could not keep calm and quickly said, "What is the method?!"
"The flames that Xi Ling can control are rootless flames, which are the purest and strongest flames in the world. The only thing that can reignite the rootless flames is a flame of life that has reached the pinnacle of power. There are only two creatures in the world that can release flames of this level. One is the Golden Crow, and the other is the Vermillion Bird. The Golden Crow has disappeared, and perhaps it no longer exists in the world. Then, the last possibility is the supreme fire beast second only to the Golden Crow, one of the guardian beasts of the Moon God Continent — the Vermillion Bird. "
"Vermillion Bird, Vermillion Bird …" Ling Chen whispered the name, then looked up and said with a frown, "In other words, if we can find the Vermillion Bird and let it reignite Xi Ling's fire source, we can save Xi Ling?"
Qi Yue's voice was not fast nor slow as she continued, "Indeed. The Vermillion Bird has this ability. But … even if Little Master can really find the Vermillion Bird and stand in front of it alive, it will never help Xi Ling reignite her fire source. "
"Why?"
"Because the only thing that can reignite Xi Ling's fire source is the Vermillion Bird's own fire source. And the consequence of the Vermillion Bird burning its own fire source is its own destruction, forever disappearing from the world. Not only that, the entire process must be voluntary by the Vermillion Bird. Otherwise, even if Little Master really has the ability to defeat the Vermillion Bird, trying to destroy it to reignite the fire source will be completely useless. "
Ling Chen, "…"
Like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, the hope that Ling Chen had not long ago was completely extinguished.
As one of the guardian beasts of the Moon God Continent, the Vermillion Bird's status in the beast race was second only to the five Saint Destroyer beasts. It was looked up to and worshipped by humans, and was an existence like a guardian god in the eyes of humans. It almost never appeared in front of humans, and if humans wanted to find it, it was almost impossible to reach the heavens. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they really did find it … For the mighty Vermillion Bird to willingly sacrifice itself to save a creature that had nothing to do with it, and a player's pet at that, was simply too laughable.
His hands unconsciously clenched, Ling Chen closed his eyes and slowly let out a breath, "What about the other method?"
Ling Chen's reaction was completely within Qi Yue's expectations. No matter who heard this, they would not believe that such a possibility really existed. "The second method is even more impossible than the first. The first method at least exists, but the second is only a legend, a very mysterious legend … Little Master, have you heard of the so-called 'resurrection' method? "
"Resurrection … from the dead?" Ling Chen was surprised.
"The second method I'm talking about is to resurrect Xi Ling after she dies, in other words, resurrection from the dead. However, life and death are the most basic elements of order in the natural world, and resurrection from the dead is a taboo act that goes against the heavens. If it really happens, it will definitely seriously affect the natural world's order and laws. So, in theory, resurrection from the dead cannot exist, nor should it exist. However … in the ancient Mystic Moon world, there has always been a legend that goes against the heavens … It is said that if you can gather those four elements, you can use 'resurrection from the dead'. "
"The four elements are … the blood of the Moon Deities, the soul of the Demon Emperor, the tear of a Shura, and … the Lunar Scourge."
