The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2559: We are in the same boat!

Night fell, deep and oppressive, covering the roiling pool of blood.

All around, the invisible storm of mental force was like a violent beast, tearing the space apart wantonly and making waves of heart-pounding whimpering sounds.

In this chaos and danger, Lin Dong and Luo Xue stood face to face. Around their bodies, a faint but tough mental shield was like a transparent crystal ball, isolating them from all the brutality from the outside world.

Time seemed to stand still. After a day and a night of torture, Lin Dong's brows were furrowed and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

There was fatigue and indomitable spirit in his eyes. Every fluctuation of his mental shield seemed to silently tell of his persistence and hard work.

Luo Xue looked at him, her eyes full of heartache and self-blame. She knew that her existence was gradually becoming a heavy burden for Lin Dong.

"I'm sorry for holding you back. How about you just use the mental shield to protect yourself. That way, your mental energy consumption won't be so great." Luo Xue's voice was as thin as a mosquito, but it was clearly heard by Lin Dong.

There was some evasion in her eyes, which was a reflection of her regret for her own incompetence and her deep apology to Lin Dong.

Hearing this, Lin Dong's lips curled up into a gentle smile. He slowly turned around and looked at Luo Xue firmly.

"How could I do that?" His voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable power.
"We have come this far, experienced life and death trials, and faced countless difficulties together. Now is the time for us to support each other. If you let me abandon you at this time, who do you think I am?"

"In the fantasy world, you never abandoned me and waited for me for a lifetime. How could I abandon you now?"

Luo Xue's heart was deeply moved by these words. She felt an unprecedented warmth and strength. It was a resonance from the soul, and the trust and dependence between each other that did not require many words.

She nodded slightly, but there was no hesitation in her eyes anymore, only stronger trust in Lin Dong.

At this moment, Lin Dong suddenly moved and took out a crystal clear pill from the dragon ring space - the Soul-Replenishing Pill.

This pill emits a faint blue light, as if it contains endless vitality and power.

He swallowed it without hesitation, and suddenly, a warm energy rose from his dantian and quickly flowed through his limbs and bones, especially in his spiritual sea, bringing a glimmer of hope to his almost exhausted mental power.

"But, this mental storm..." Luo Xue was still a little worried. She was interrupted by Lin Dong before she finished her words.

"Now, listen to me!" Lin Dong's eyes became unusually determined and domineering.

His words were like a warm current that instantly warmed Luo Xue's heart and gradually calmed her uneasy mood.

Luo Xue looked at Lin Dong, feeling inexplicably moved.

Time in this pool of blood seemed to be stretched by an invisible force.

Every second carries unspeakable torment. It is no longer just a matter of days feeling like years, it should be said that every second feels like a year.

The extreme consumption of mental energy caused waves of pain in Lin Dong's head.

It felt like an ordinary person who hadn't slept for days and nights, but still had to think hard, use his brain to think about things, and solve problems.

Lin Dong’s current situation is exactly the same as this one!
He tried to straighten his back, his eyes were closed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, he was also being baptized by a spiritual storm. The spiritual black lotus continuously emitted spiritual defense to resist various spiritual attacks.

As time went by, this mental storm had lasted for seven days and seven nights, mercilessly attacking his already extremely tight mental defenses.

"Can you still hold on?!" Luo Xue's voice rang softly beside his ear, with a hint of bitterness in her tone. She stood aside, her eyes full of worry and admiration for Lin Dong.

She knew that this was not only a test of Lin Dong's personal will, but also the key to whether they could leave here safely.

The mental strength in Lin Dong's body that was used to resist the storm was like a river that was about to dry up; every bit of strength seemed so difficult to flow.

The soul-replenishing pills he had refined before, those precious pills that could temporarily enhance mental strength, had long been consumed in this long resistance.

At this moment, he was like a boat swaying in a storm, which could capsize at any time.

"The soul-replenishing pills have been used up, and my mental strength is almost completely depleted. I can probably hold on for three hours at most." Lin Dong replied truthfully.

At this moment, Luo Xue made a decision. She took out a small and exquisite jade box from her space bracelet. It was a life-saving item given to her brother by her family when he was a child - a "Soul Source Crystal" containing the ancient family secret method, specially prepared for spiritual power practitioners.

This crystal emits a faint blue light. To her, it is more than just a treasure.

It’s still my brother’s relic from that year.

She always regarded it as a treasure and carried it with her.

But at this moment, in order to save Lin Dong and herself, she took it out.

"Lin Dong, this is the last help I can give you." Luo Xue's voice trembled slightly, and she carefully handed the Soul Source Crystal to Lin Dong's mouth.

Although Lin Dong's consciousness was blurred, he instinctively felt the warmth and strength from the outside world. He opened his mouth and took the Soul Source Crystal into his mouth.

In an instant, a warm and powerful mental power surged out from the soul source crystal and quickly spread throughout Lin Dong's body along his meridians.

This power was like a spring drizzle, nourishing his almost exhausted spiritual sea and bringing new life to the dying flame.

Lin Dong's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his mental barriers were strengthened again to fight against the still raging storm.

I don't know how long it took, but when the blood-red moonlight sprinkled on the space shrouded in blood, the mental storm finally subsided.

Lin Dong and Luo Xue looked at each other and smiled, expressing their relief at surviving the disaster.

"The mental storm is finally over." Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief and said tiredly.

Luo Xue nodded, and the sad expression on her face also relaxed at this moment.

However, fate did not seem to let them off easily.

Just when they thought everything was about to end and were preparing to further refine the blood in the blood pool, an even more bizarre wave suddenly surged in the blood pool.

This time, it was no longer a simple storm of mental power, but was accompanied by rolling waves of blood, as if something had awakened in the depths of the blood pool, preparing to launch a new round of attacks.

"It seems that the crisis in the blood pool has not been completely overcome. Next, we will have to face something even more terrifying." Lin Dong clenched his fists, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

Luo Xue also looked solemn. She knew very well that the next challenge might be even more dangerous.

But she was also more certain that as long as she fought alongside Lin Dong, she would not be afraid even of death.
