Little Mouse, Hello
Buzz!
The bone marrow vibrations intensified, even causing the entire Thumb Bottle to vibrate.
He had never seen such strange magical fluctuations before; there was no doubt that this situation was beyond his comprehension.
This unknown factor could potentially cause unpredictable side effects on the bone marrow transplant, but it's unstoppable now. The Carnivorous Flower's venom has flowed throughout Nicole's body, and Nicole now desperately needs fresh bone marrow.
If there is no bone marrow for a long time, fresh blood cannot be produced. Without blood to provide energy, the heart will wither and all organs will die.
He had no room for hesitation; on the contrary, the more violent the magical reaction in the bone marrow, the more likely it was to give birth to a miraculous bloodline, in Li Ziran's view.
Since he knows nothing about magic anyway, why not take a gamble?
Amidst this strange tremor, the Carnivorous Flower's essence had completely replaced Nicole's bone marrow, and now Li Ziran had to pour out all of the Carnivorous Flower's essence.
The liquid from the Carnivorous Flower that flowed out was no longer its original black color, but a brownish-red. This was a special mutation that occurred after it had been contaminated with bone marrow, which also proved that the liquid from the Carnivorous Flower had absorbed the remaining bone marrow.
The liquid slowly flowed into the Thumb Bottle, and Li Ziran began to pick up the violently vibrating Elven Marrow and gently shake it.
Before injecting the bone marrow into Nicole's body, it should at least be shaken well, but of course, this is unnecessary; Li Ziran was simply killing time.
Buzz!
Another strange vibration came, this time not from the Thumb Bottle, but from the wall behind him, as if a pangolin was rapidly crawling in.
Illusion!
Li Ziran couldn't help but find it amusing. He was now extremely deep underground, where even rats couldn't gnaw on the rocks. What could possibly be crawling in at this moment?
"It must be a psychological reaction!"
The more focused you are, the easier it is to get distracted, and distraction is often a major cause of surgical errors.
Li Ziran fears nothing more than this kind of idle waiting. If he were to continuously perform surgeries, he could maintain a high level of concentration, but as he is now, it only makes him lose focus uncontrollably.
He knew this was a major taboo in surgery, but sometimes he couldn't control it. He could only slowly calm his mind and try his best to focus on the surgery.
Time ticked by, but the tremors that disturbed his mind did not lessen; instead, they grew more intense.
He hated the buzzing vibration, like flies buzzing incessantly in his ears, making it impossible to quiet down.
Fortunately, this was a bone marrow replacement, not a nerve transplant.
If it were a recent kidney replacement, with all this vibration and interference, I don't know how many nerves would have been reconnected incorrectly.
Li Ziran suddenly frowned. This was not an illusion. He felt a strong fluctuation approaching him, and a strange heat was seeping in through the rat hole.
There really are people.
Li Ziran was startled. He couldn't believe that anyone could appear so deep underground, but he had no choice but to accept the facts.
This is a fantasy world where anything is possible.
Surgery as soon as possible!
This was a decision made subconsciously by Li Ziran; no matter what changes might occur, Nicole's bone marrow transplant surgery was nearing its end.
Buzz!
Two more loud tremors seemed to come from next door. The rat hole, which connected to the outside world, had become a jet pipe, constantly spewing out hot air mixed with thick stone powder.
Creak!
A sharp crack suddenly rang out in the quiet space, and crisscrossing cracks appeared on the opposite wall, gradually turning reddish.
Oops!
Li Ziran cried out in alarm, wondering who this person was who had managed to find their way underground.
Staring intently at the ever-spreading cracks, a sense of panic welled up inside me, but when I looked down at the two Frog, a strange calm returned.
He needs surgery, but even more importantly, he needs a transfer.
This is no longer a qualified operating room.
Crunch! Crunch!
The cracks were enormous, and the entire wall had turned a deep red, with thin, paste-like red liquid seeping out from the cracks, as if the land were bleeding.
Li Ziran unconsciously stepped back, quickly taking out a surgical needle from his wizard robe. He inserted one end into the Thumb Bottle containing Elven Marrow and the other end directly into Nicole's bones.
The bone marrow began to flow slowly.
Bang!
In an instant, the crack completely broke, the wall melted through, revealing an underground passage as tall as a person.
The passage was extremely long, with no end in sight.
However, there was no one in the passageway.
Li Ziran unconsciously pressed himself against the wall, as if the mountain walls could bring him safety at this moment.
Hot!
A strange heat emanated from my back.
He hurriedly turned around and saw a face made entirely of light emerging from the mountain wall, grinning at him.
He swore he had never seen such a creature, especially its eyes, which were bloodshot like those of a demon crawling out of hell.
The laughter carried mockery, the mockery was mixed with hatred, and the hatred contained an incomprehensible madness.
Bang!
Two arms instantly pierced through his arms, opening wide to grab him.
"Little Mouse, I've found you!"
The hard stone seemed as if it were made of paper, piercing right through it. An arm reached through the hole, as if trying to completely pry open the remaining stone.
"Get over here!"
The attack, fueled by rage, seemed intent on choking Li Ziran.
[Transformation Spell - Frog]
Almost instantly, a greenish light emanated, enveloping the two arms and transforming them into Frog forelimbs in the blink of an eye.
Li Ziran was overjoyed. The partial transformation was very successful. More importantly, although the person looked terrifying, he had no means to resist the Transformation Spell.
But before his joyful expression could fully bloom, the bald-faced man swung his Frog -like forelimb, and like a gecko losing its Tail, the arm fell directly to the ground.
The moment it touched the ground, the Frog's forelimbs turned into specks of light and disappeared completely.
The moment the light disappeared, the two arms grew back intact, and with a sudden pull, they dug out an entrance large enough for an adult to pass through.
Li Ziran was horrified; this person could regenerate limbs at will.
He was no match for him at all.
[Transformation Spell - Frog]
Li Ziran once again conjured Transformation Array, and the transformation beam quickly took shape, but it suddenly disappeared the moment the light landed on the opponent.
A strange spiritual force directly penetrated the spiritual array, like fine needles, shattering all the Frog-Shaped Script within its Transformation Array.
Li Ziran had encountered breaking mental arrays before. In the Swamp Space, the fire mage Hogg had directly torn apart his mental array with his powerful mental strength.
But now it's completely different. His magic circle outline is still slowly rotating, but the runes supporting the magic circle have completely disappeared. It's like a machine that retains its unique outer shell, but the internal working parts have completely disappeared.
Li Ziran was utterly horrified.
This person is definitely dozens of times more terrifying than the fire mage Hogg.
"Hehe, Little Mouse, it's useless. You're very bold to dare to touch the descendant of the Ancient Elf. I can sense it. You have my Bloodline Curse on you. Hehe, now that you've met me, your good days have come. I will make sure you live comfortably every day." Jon chuckled.
He had never been in such a good mood before, even happier than when he broke through his cultivation level.
A familiar scent of bloodline emanated from directly in front of him, and when he followed the scent, his eyes nearly bled.
It was a bright blue Frog, its belly completely ripped open, with white marrow dripping from its hind legs.
Bang bang!
It sounded like teeth being ground to dust.
"Good, very good! You will live well, and get better every day!" Jon stared at Li Ziran with a gloomy expression. In an instant, he had already planned out every day that this Little Mouse was about to spend.
[Transformation Spell - Serpent]
[Devouring Curse - Serpent]
In an instant, the dark light emanating from the Snake Transformation struck Jon's head, and at the same time, the Devouring Vortex shape.
"It's no use, Little Mouse, just stay where you are."
A beam of light shot out from Jon's body, like a sharp sword, tearing the two mental arrays to shreds. But when he came to his senses, the Little Mouse had vanished.
Also vanished were the Frog with the Thumb Bottle and his sapphire-blue offspring.
Li Ziran knew perfectly well that the Transformation Spell wouldn't work, but he needed to buy time to escape. He believed that the Snake Transformation combined with the Devouring Curse would definitely cause this guy some trouble.
His hunch was right; the two spells bought him a second.
This was enough for Li Ziran to transform himself into a small snake, then swallow Nicole, the Thumb Bottle, and the Elf Descendant whole, before finally burrowing into the mouse hole.
"Damn it, brat, die!"
Jon's Hand of Light instantly pierced into the rat hole, crushing the entire rock into dust, attempting to grab the little snake's Tail.
But the opponent was too slippery; with a flick of its tail, it disappeared into the dark mouse hole.
Boom!
Two Neon beams shot out from his eyes in an instant, and the rock where the rat hole was located exploded and melted. But after it melted, what was left for him were more rat holes, each about the size of a palm, dark and endless.
As for that little black snake, it was nowhere to be found.
Jon clenched his fists tightly, but instead of getting angry, he laughed maniacally and sinisterly, "Kid, very good, very good, very good!"
