Chapter 848: 848
"My purpose was simple . I planned to find the lost item and uncover Elder Nether Spring's secret so that the Gold Crow Kingdom would be in advantage in the competition with the Nether Spring Kingdom . Or, maybe I could trade the lost item with Elder Nether Spring for political benefits .
"However, Elder Nether Spring valued the item much more than I expected . He risked a war of the two kingdoms and ordered his subordinates to kill me!
"It seems that the elder of the Blade of Chaos was not exaggerating . The item might really change the fate of the Blood Demon Sector!
"Senior, with all due respect, that item is a ticking time bomb .
"If your purpose since the beginning has been the item, then I have nothing to say . You've got the item, and you can easily walk away after killing me to keep my mouth shut .
"However, if you are uninvolved in the incident and only retrieved the item by accident, you and I will be on the same side, senior, because Elder Nether Spring will hate us equally .
"Of course, I'm too incapable to be qualified to fight by your side . With your amazing skills, you must be fearless of a demon emperor . However, Elder Nether Spring governs all the Insect Clan in the world . They are best known for their harassment and persistence . If they follow and bother you all the time, it will certainly be a minor nuisance for you, senior .
"If you spare my life, senior, the Gold Crow King will be able to give you a hand and get rid of the nuisance for you . You will be saved a lot of trouble, won't you?
"Besides, my father is the commander-in-chief of the coalition army of the demon race, and he respects heroes the most . With a great war breaking out soon, you are going to make a huge difference if you go to the Gold Crow Kingdom!"
Jin Xinyue was quite bold . After she calmed herself down, she immediately started trying to manipulate Li Yao .
Li Yao smiled casually and said, "The item has been broken . Some sort of weird green liquid was stored inside it, but it leaked into your body and triggered tremendous changes .
"Do you feel that your body is stranger and your demonic energy is not functioning well? It is not because I imposed barriers on you but because of the effects of the green liquid . "
Jin Xinyue was greatly shocked . She could not help but touch her back, only to find no feathers or wings at all .
She took a deep breath and sensed the demonic energy inside her body . She even tried to stimulate her cells to summon her original appearance, to no avail . Her body was empty, and the strength that she was born with had vanished into thin air!
Deep confusion beamed out of Jin Xinyue's eyes for the first time . She shivered and asked, "Senior, can I retrieve some devices from my Cosmos Ring to examine my cells?"
Li Yao blinked and asked back, "Cells? What is that?"
Jin Xinyue smiled bitterly . "Cells are the most basic structural and functional units that constitute a living entity . It is a new concept coined some twenty thousand years ago . Demons and human beings are all made of cells .
"But for demons, cells are more important . The study of cells is the foundation of our modern training . "
Li Yao nodded and gestured for Jin Xinyue to do what she had to .
Jin Xinyue calmed herself down . She touched a silver Cosmos Ring that she was wearing on her little finger with her thumb, and she mumbled a series of spells to herself, retrieving five or so pieces of magical equipment .
Li Yao was particularly interested in the dark golden one that had a delicate badge on the pedestal that read 'Deep Sea' .
It was a piece of magical equipment produced by the Refining Department of Deep Sea University, which was known as the 'holy land for refiners' in the Heaven's Origin Sector!
Jin Xinyue managed to keep her shaking hands stable and opened the cover of the pedestal . She inserted a standard crystal into it and activated the magical equipment .
The seven crystal cameras at the top of the magical equipment immediately started revolving slowly .
"Senior, this magical equipment is named 'portable microscope'," Jin Xinyue explained . "It can magnify an object to eight hundred thousand times its normal size . A world of endless mysteries can be observed through it . "
Li Yao raised his eyebrow, pretending that he was very curious but would not like to pursue it further in case it showed his ignorance .
Although Jin Xinyue's mind was in a mess, she was secretly amused by Li Yao's countenance . "Microscopes can be divided into two kinds, namely spiritual energy microscopes and biochemical microscopes . Human beings are better at the former while demons are adept at the latter .
"The spiritual energy microscope in my hand was made by the best refiners of the Heaven's Origin Sector . I'm going to analyze my own blood with it . "
Jin Xinyue carefully picked out two glass slides, which were so thin that they were almost nonexistent . She then pierced her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood, which she dripped in the middle of the two glass slides . In the end, she inserted the glass slides into the slot of the microscope and observed for a long time .
Gradually, her face turned paler and paler until it was whiter than that of a dead person . Her sweat was pouring out, and she fell to the ground like a fish that had been tossed onto land, her eyes unfocused, as if somebody had taken her spine away .
"No wonder Elder Nether Spring wants the item back no matter what!"
Jin Xinyue breathed hard for a long time before she came back to herself . She sucked her finger and laughed more hideously than when one was crying . "He—he is running such horrible experiences and has even made breakthroughs . He—he can transform the demonized cells inside the body of a demon into regular cells!"
"Senior, I… I…"
