Chapter 12654 The mysterious woman

The ground was littered with dead bones, lying there quietly, like a horrific picture that had been silent for countless years.

They silently tell the story of the tragic past. No one knows how many years they have been dead, and not even a trace of flesh is left.

The owners of these skeletons, former warriors or civilians, have now turned into earthly relics, leaving only bones silently enduring the baptism of time.

The deaths of these people were extremely tragic, as if they had experienced unimaginable pain and torture before their deaths.

Their bones were distorted in shape, as if they had endured tremendous pressure and pain before death.

They seemed to have attacked and bit each other. The scene was more like a wild beast struggling madly between life and death.

"Be careful, something is wrong here!" The voice of the Evil Spirit King suddenly sounded in Ling Xiao's mind, breaking the silence.

The Evil Spirit Emperor had been silent in the magic needle space for a long time. But now, he suddenly spoke with a solemn tone. Obviously, the situation here was much more serious than he expected.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Leaving?"

"That's not the case." The voice of the Evil Spirit Emperor came, with a sense of confidence and domineering, "There should be no problem in the Northern Frontier that this emperor cannot solve. Keep moving forward. The more dangerous the place, the more likely you are to get benefits you can't imagine. In addition to the Heart of Water, there should be other treasures hidden here."

When Ling Xiao heard this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and made full preparations before walking cautiously into the building complex.

The gate of the building complex was already rotten. With a slight push, it collapsed with a loud bang, and the entire gate tower was reduced to ruins.

Ling Xiao carefully stepped over the threshold and entered this area full of unknowns and dangers.

He knew that the journey ahead would be full of challenges and tests, but he also believed that as long as he moved forward courageously, he would be able to find the treasures and secrets hidden deep within.

The moment the door slowly opened, Ling Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and he immediately prepared to attack.

Because he saw someone!

Among the dead bones all over the ground, in this dead silent place, a human figure was actually seen. This in itself was an extremely abnormal thing.

More importantly, she was a woman, a breathtakingly beautiful woman. Her skin was as white as snow, crystal clear, like the finest porcelain. Among all the women he had ever seen, she was one of the best.

However, in this strange place, this beautiful woman seems like a dangerous signal, making people feel uneasy.

Where there is an abnormality, there must be a demon!
The woman stood there quietly, as if she had blended into the surroundings. She looked at Ling Xiao with a faint smile on her face, and there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in that smile.

"After so many years, there are finally guests here. Why did you come here?" The woman's voice was melodious and pleasant, but it revealed an indescribable weirdness.

Seeing that the other party did not make a move, Ling Xiao did not get anxious. He just stood on full alert and said, "I came here for the Heart of Water."

He did not hide his purpose because he knew that in this place, any concealment could be fatal.

The woman's smile deepened when she heard this: "The Heart of Water... How many people have turned into dry bones and corpses because of that thing..."

Her voice gradually became low and eerie, which was chilling.

Ling Xiao frowned, feeling a little uneasy. He knew he had stepped into a dangerous place, but he couldn't retreat. He had to get the Heart of Water to complete his mission.

"Can you please stop playing tricks on me? I'm timid. Don't scare me to death again." Ling Xiao sighed.

He tried to ease the tense atmosphere with a lighthearted tone, but the woman did not let her guard down.

"Are you timid? You are not timid at all." The woman shook her head and said, "Faced with me, who suddenly appeared in this lifeless building, you are not afraid at all, and you are even eager to try, right?"

Ling Xiao was touched by the woman's words and smiled. He was not afraid at all, but full of curiosity and anticipation for this mysterious place.

"But I can't give you the Heart of Water." The woman suddenly said, "We have protected it for so many years, we can't just give it to anyone."

Ling Xiao frowned upon hearing this. He knew it was not easy to get the Heart of Water, but he was fully prepared.

"Do you know who I am?" Ling Xiao asked.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little confused: "Who are you?"

"I will be the number one person in Bai Ze Continent in the future!" Ling Xiao grinned and stated his goal.

Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but laugh: "You are so arrogant. Did you eat green onions or garlic today?"

She shook her head and said speechlessly: "I don't care what you want to be in the future, but I'm afraid you're going to die here today."

Ling Xiao's heart tightened when he heard this. He knew that the woman was not joking, but might really kill him.

"Oh? You want to kill me?" Ling Xiao frowned.

"It's not me who wants to kill you, it's Water Heart!" The woman sighed and said, "I don't know which idiot took away the source of Water Continent's energy, causing Water Heart to lose its foundation. It's in a bad mood now. You should leave quickly, otherwise, it will be too late."

Ling Xiao became even more nervous after hearing this. He knew the importance of the Heart of Water and its power. But he did not intend to give up, and decided to fight for it with all his strength.

At this moment, a cloud of water mist suddenly flew out from the building complex and rushed straight towards Ling Xiao. The water mist contained powerful energy that made people feel palpitating.

Bang!
Ling Xiao had made all the necessary preparations, but he was still knocked flying and fell heavily into the pile of bones.

"Evil Spirit Emperor, don't you care?" Ling Xiao asked with a frown as he struggled to get up from the ground.

"What the hell, you let me take care of everything, are you my son or my grandson? You are not even my apprentice." The Evil Spirit King said unhappily, "Fight for yourself, the Water Heart has lost its energy source and cannot exert its power at all. It is not that difficult to catch it, and it is much easier than blocking you from getting the Wood Heart."

"Just ignore it, there are so many reasons, just ignore it!" Ling Xiao grumbled in dissatisfaction, his face full of helplessness and disdain. He knew very well that it would be more practical to find a way to solve the problem himself instead of wasting time arguing with the Evil Spirit King.

His gaze turned to the water heart that looked ordinary but contained terrifying energy.
