The Seal Key

Chapter 833: The Seal Key

The Sea Demon Beasts scattered with a crash.

Perhaps they would have dared to keep fighting if they were facing a god, but the moment the cave formed from gray lightning appeared, they lost all their fighting spirit.

The battle ended in a hasty anticlimax.

Gu Qingshan relaxed a little.

"Thanks to you."

Gu Qingshan smiled at the Only Esteemed Gourd Jade Pendant.

The Only Esteemed Gourd said weakly, "Squeak... squeak-squeak..."

(I... I can't go on...)

"What? What's wrong?" Gu Qingshan asked at once.

"Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak."

(That Summoning Art was too powerful. And I used too much of my ability earlier, so I'm about to die.)

Die?

Gu Qingshan's heart lurched. He shouted, "What's going on? Why are you going to die? How can I save you?"

"Squeak... squeak-squeak..."

(If I use my ability three times in a row, I'll die.)

Gu Qingshan froze.

The Only Esteemed Gourd had gone to steal the metal fragment, then returned and fought alongside him. It had also struck back several times during the battle with the Sea Demon Beasts.

Indeed, it had already used its ability who knew how many times.

Gu Qingshan cried out anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? If I'd known, I wouldn't have let you join the fight."

"Squeak... squeak-squeak-squeak... squeak-squeak!"

(It's all right... I wanted to fight... Even if it meant dying!)

Gu Qingshan was at a complete loss.

First the Earth Sword, and now the gourd. Was there really nothing he could save?

He said in a low voice, "Only Esteemed, there must be some way to save you. Tell me."

"Squeak-squeak-squeak, squeak-squeak, squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak, squeak-squeak-squeak... squeak... squeak-squeak-squeak."

(Death is a path everyone must take. After I die, take my Gourd Seed and pour Soul Power into it... perhaps...)

"Goodbye. Farewell, Gu Qingshan."
