"Elder!" One of the Silent Oness led by him sent out a low and alert Soul Power wave, and his huge body leaned forward slightly, taking an attacking posture. The other two Demon Whales also dispersed silently, forming a faint encirclement.
"Stand back!" Tieshan's tired but unquestionable voice sounded, carrying the majesty of Soul Beast who has lived for 150,000 years. He held up Kraken and Little Moyuan, and slowly landed on the flat area closest to a large hot spring in the center of the basin. The warm spring water flowed through, bringing a sense of comfort.
"Guard the entrance. No one is allowed to approach without my order, let alone leak any breath!" Tieshan put down the two of them, and scanned the three-headed Demon Whale with his huge one eye, and said in a heavy tone, "Young Master was seriously injured and comatose, and needs absolute silence. As for him..."
He looked at Kraken next to him, whose aura was still chaotic but had been temporarily "sealed" by his own Soul Power, and a complicated and unintelligible light flashed in his one eye.
"For the time being, he is our guest and Young Master's... savior."
The eyes of the three-headed Demon Whale were full of confusion and doubt. The rich withering and the strange shape could not be connected with the "guest" or the "savior" in any way.
Tieshan didn't explain too much, just waved his flippers tiredly. "Execute the order. Everything, wait until they... wake up."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the surprises of his men, and his huge body slowly squatted down, protecting Kraken and Little Moyuan in the middle. The dark golden Soul Power still kept flowing. Continuously output, maintaining the suppression of the rampant energy in Kraken's body. One Eye stared at Little Moyuan momentarily, feeling the weak but tenacious beating fire of life, praying silently in his heart.
Warm and flowing slowly.
Different from the cold and biting deep sea outside, in the depths of "Nest No. 2", near the area with the largest hot spring, the sea water carries a drowsy warmth, gently brushing against Kraken's broken body.
Pain was still the main theme. But the violent conflict that could tear him apart at any time was temporarily suppressed deep in his body by a dark golden Soul Power as thick as a mountain. This allowed his broken consciousness to get a glimmer of clarity from the pure pain.
Deep in the dark sea of consciousness, a faint light began to flicker.
Perception precedes the recovery of consciousness - the warm spring flow, the hard seabed beneath me, Tieshan's heavy and tired breathing in the distance, and a few cold and vigilant gazes further away.
Then, there is the body.
The severe pain is clearly discernible: the meridians are like broken Spider Web, and the flesh and blood are filled with the burning marks and withering erosion of Purification's power. The worst thing is that the pure and domineering Purification belonging to Sea Spear Douluo Soul Power was not absorbed and digested by him. Instead, it was like the most aggressive alien toxin, rushing through his body, fighting crazily with his own Wither Force and the remaining emerald green life energy. Every collision was like detonating explosives deep in his soul.
However, in this energy-raging ruins, an extremely obscure but extremely tenacious power of absorption and transformation is quietly growing and spreading from a certain part.
Not from the dying Micro-Cycle of Life and Death core.
But it comes from the end of his body, the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone that is as white as jade and full of tiny cracks!
This External Soul Bone, which brazenly pierced Sea Spear's back and devoured its life and Soul Power in a desperate situation, seemed to have awakened its "appetite" from a long slumber at this moment. Inside Soul Bone, that The majestic Soul Power and life essence belonging to Sea Spear Douluo that had been forcibly swallowed but had not yet been completely "digested" were being driven by Soul Bone's own unique, greedy instinct and began to feed back slowly but surely.
It is not simply pouring energy into Kraken's chaotic meridians.
But in a more subtle and domineering way - Scorpion Tail Soul Bone seems to have become an independent and efficient transformation of Furnace. It will initially refine, purify, and even... "domesticate" the Sea Spear energy it has swallowed up inside Soul Bone... to a certain extent.
The Soul Power, which was originally full of Sea God's Purification attributes and incompatible with Kraken's own Wither Force, was forcibly stripped of the most stubborn "Sea God's Imprint" and "Purification will" under the influence of certain internal rules of Soul Bone, and transformed into a relatively neutral, but extremely high-quality, pure energy flow full of vitality.
At the same time, Soul Bone itself is also greedily absorbing these energies and repairing its own cracks. A restrained light like Deep Sea Black Ice vaguely circulates on the white bone surface, becoming harder and more resilient.
Then, this initially "tamed", pure, vitality-rich energy began to trickle Xiliu into Kraken's broken body along the roots connecting Soul Bone to the body.
This energy is no longer a violent intruder, but a gentle tinkerer.
It flows through the broken meridians, like the most delicate colloid, slowly closing the cracks; it penetrates into the damaged flesh and blood, stimulating the weak vitality, resisting the trauma left by withering and Purification; it even cautiously approaches the crumbling core of Micro-Cycle of Life and Death, nourishing the dim gray-green vortex like sweet rain, and speeding up its rotation extremely subtly.
The speed of repair is excruciatingly slow. Compared with the still fierce conflict in the body, this trickle from Soul Bone seems insignificant.
But it is stable, continuous, and most importantly - it does not cause rejection!
It is the existence of this stream of water, like a drop of condensate dropped into a boiling oil pan. Although it cannot calm the entire oil pan, it gives Kraken's body on the verge of collapse a precious chance to breathe and anchor. Maintained by this trickle of water, his vital signs no longer fluctuate violently, but remain at an extremely weak, but no longer deteriorating low.
The recovery of consciousness is therefore accelerated.
These fragments stung Kraken's consciousness, bringing a strong sense of rejection. However, they were quickly washed away and crushed by the process of Soul Bone's energy conversion, and most of them were reduced to nothing. Only some of the most basic and strongest impressions were left to settle - especially the knowledge of "withering" and the sporadic pictures of the powerful Deep Sea Demon Whale called "Tieshan".
Finally, under the continuous nourishment of Soul Bone's trickle and the impact of Sea Spear's memory fragments, Kraken's consciousness completely broke free from the shackles of darkness.
Slowly and with great difficulty, he gathered his perceptions and "looked" at the world again.
The first thing he "saw" was the huge head of Tieshan, which was very close at hand, covered with vicissitudes of life, and the one eye that was full of fatigue, vigilance, exploration, and a trace of indescribable complex emotions.
Eyes facing each other.
The warm sea water in the nest seemed to be stagnant at this moment.
