Cao De kicked the broken stones aside, exposing a hole in the ground.
"It didn't suck it out," Cao De said.
"Try getting closer." Bo Saixi climbed a little higher on his back.
Cao De crouched down, and Bo Saixi immediately wrapped her feet around his waist before they could touch the ground.
"Still no good." Suspicion crossed Cao De's face as he turned to look into Bo Saixi's eyes.
"Maybe it's too far away. Try bringing the trident closer," Bo Saixi said.
Cao De looked doubtful, but he still stretched out his arms and lay facedown on the ground. The Sea God Trident in his chest showed no response at all.
"Are you sure?" Cao De narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to stare at Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi did not answer. She pressed a hand against the opening and murmured an incantation.
The hand touching the ground rapidly rotted away, dissolving into specks of dust that scattered through the air.
"Bo Saixi, you-" Cao De was about to say something.
Bo Saixi covered his mouth with her other hand, signaling with her eyes that he should not interrupt her.
In the past, with her formidable soul power, she could have activated this secret technique with a thought. Now, however, she had so little soul power left that she could only touch it with her hand and then use her soul power to trigger it.
Cao De said nothing, rapidly transferring the soul power within his body to Bo Saixi.
Within seconds, Bo Saixi's forearm was reduced to bare bones. Then they slowly broke away, fell to the ground, and crumbled into dust.
At the same time, the hole in the ground released a dazzling white light and a powerful suction.
