“Oh my goodness!” Lin Zheng, who had come back to his senses, immediately picked up Xia Mo and ran.
He had run a long way after being chased by the Glorious Guild, and was now very far from the altar!
If the mission were to fail due to a time limit, an Epic mission!
Lin Zheng would surely cry to death!
After about ten minutes, Lin Zheng finally arrived in front of the altar!
Putting down Xia Mo, Lin Zheng held the command token and said to her, “Good girl, help me find where on this altar I can use this thing to open it!”
“Got it, Daddy!” Xia Mo nodded and happily ran towards the altar to search.
Lin Zheng looked at Xia Mo, who was in high spirits to play, and couldn't help but shake his head, it seemed this Xiao Yatou was unreliable, he'd better hurry and search himself!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Xiao Yatou ran over, she immediately shouted, “Daddy! Daddy! I found it!”
“Found it? So fast!” Lin Zheng looked disbelieving, but when he went to check, uh!
It really was!
He saw that the base of the altar was carved with a deity, and the deity's hand, which should have been holding a divine object, was empty, with only a groove.
A quick comparison showed that it was precisely the shape of the command token!
“Good job! I’ll reward you with 20 chicken wings!” Lin Zheng happily stroked Xia Mo’s little head, and Xia Mo, upon hearing the reward, happily narrowed her eyes into New Moons.
Time was pressing, so Lin Zheng immediately placed the command token on the altar.
As soon as the token was placed, it instantly emitted a dazzling golden light.
Then, the altar base rumbled, and a passage, more than one person's height, slowly appeared before Lin Zheng!
As soon as the secret chamber entrance appeared, Lin Zheng rushed in without hesitation.
However, thinking that this mission was Epic difficulty, Lin Zheng couldn't help but be a little wary.
After entering, he gripped his Sword Blade Bow, ready for battle at any moment!
However, Lin Zheng's vigilance seemed a bit excessive, as nothing happened until Lin Zheng walked out of the passage and reached the secret chamber!
Relieved, Lin Zheng finally took a look at the important altar secret chamber of the Tear Clan.
This was not a very large underground cave, and the cave chamber was covered in ice crystals everywhere.
At first glance, it looked like a world carved from crystal!
In the center of this cave chamber, there was a pool of water.
It was hard to imagine that water could exist in such an extremely cold chamber!
And in the center of this pool, a rather large ice crystal floated on top.
What surprised Lin Zheng was that within the ice crystal, a white-clad girl was frozen!
Lin Zheng immediately understood that this was his mission objective!
Walking to the edge of the pool, looking at the ice crystal floating on the water, Lin Zheng immediately felt a headache.
How to get this thing down?!
After thinking for a while, Lin Zheng looked at the pool, then at the ice crystal, and finally made a decision!
“Moonwalk!” With two Aerial Dance jumps, Lin Zheng jumped to a height parallel to the ice crystal.
“Aerial Dance!”
“Swish swish!” Two New Moon qi slashes struck the ice crystal.
“Ping—” A crisp cracking sound echoed in the quiet cave chamber.
As soon as Lin Zheng landed on the ground, the floating ice crystal completely cracked open.
“Bang—” The ice crystal shattered into pieces, losing its miraculous floating power, and fell into the pool along with the girl inside.
At this instant, Lin Zheng leaped again, stepping on Moonwalk to rush towards the falling girl, grabbing her and landing on the opposite side of the pool.
Before Lin Zheng could even sigh in relief, a system prompt sounded: “The Tear Clan Saintess has been frozen for many years, and her physical condition is extremely poor.
Purify the negative status effects on her within five minutes, otherwise the Tear Clan Saintess will die immediately!”
“Damn it!” Lin Zheng immediately cursed.
Five minutes, where was he going to find a priest to Purify the negative status effects on the Tear Clan Saintess?!
It took nearly half an hour to get from Tianshuang City to Bei Hui Valley, and then running to the altar here, the day would have been long over!
Was this mission specifically prepared for priests?
This was a trap!
Time, in Lin Zheng's frenzy, passed by little by little.
Five minutes, it passed in a blink of an eye, so Lin Zheng, without surprise, heard the prompt: “The Tear Clan Saintess’s physical functions have completely ceased, and she has died!”
“What a rip-off! Isn't it?!” Lin Zheng asked the heavens speechlessly.
An Epic mission, thus aborted!
“Ding—” A pleasant prompt sound suddenly rang out, making Lin Zheng, who was in a depressed mood, pause.
At this moment, the system prompted: “You used a Resurrection Crystal on the Tear Clan Saintess, successfully resurrected the Tear Clan Saintess, and the Tear Clan Saintess’s status has been fully restored!”
“Resurrection Crystal?! That’s right! How could I forget about this thing!” Lin Zheng slapped his thigh in surprise and looked at the Tear Clan Saintess.
He saw Xia Mo curiously touching the Tear Clan Saintess with the Resurrection Crystal, muttering, “Strange, why isn’t it glowing anymore?!”
“My treasure!” Lin Zheng joyfully picked up Xia Mo and kissed her fiercely!
He laughed loudly, “You really are my lucky star!”
“Woo~!” Xia Mo grumbled twice, touching her little face and saying, “Hmph, you got my face all slobbery!”
“I’ll reward you with 50 more chicken wings!”
“Yay!~~”
...
Xia Mo happily ate chicken wings on Lin Zheng’s shoulder, while Lin Zheng looked at the Tear Clan Saintess.
He saw the eyelids of this beautiful girl, like a celestial being, tremble for a moment, then crystal tears suddenly flowed out, and then a pair of sad, watery blue eyes slowly opened!
At this moment, her name also appeared above her head—Tear Clan Saintess · Yu Shi Lei, a name that made one feel a bit sad just by hearing it!
Lin Zheng stared blankly at the gentle Yu Shi Lei before him, marveling in his heart.
Which craftsman could have depicted such a lovable Tear Clan Saintess as Yu Shi Lei?
It was estimated that no man in the world could face Yu Shi Lei without feeling pity!
Yu Shi Lei stood up, slowly extended her delicate, jade-like little hand, and gently caressed Lin Zheng's cheek.
At this moment, Lin Zheng emitted a faint blue light.
If he had a mirror, Lin Zheng would also have noticed that his eyes also emitted a blue light, and after a fleeting flash, his dark pupils turned the same watery blue as Yu Shi Lei's!
“The Tear Clan Saintess has awakened your hidden bloodline.
Your Tear Clan talent has begun to awaken!”
What?! Lin Zheng was stunned.
Just a touch, and he changed races?
“Brother!” Yu Shi Lei, with tears streaming down her face, asked sadly, “The Tear Clan, is it gone?”
Lin Zheng, suddenly snapping back to his senses, nodded without hesitation.
At this, Yu Shi Lei cried out in sorrow and threw herself into Lin Zheng’s arms, weeping bitterly!
Lin Zheng held Yu Shi Lei, but in his mind, he recalled the mission requirement: to help the Tear Clan Saintess revive the Tear Clan.
So, there was still a possibility for the Tear Clan to reappear in the world?
Thus, Lin Zheng gently patted Yu Shi Lei’s shoulder and said, “Don’t cry.
Didn’t the Great Priest protect you at all costs precisely because he hoped you would revive the Tear Clan?”
“Grandpa Great Priest!” Yu Shi Lei murmured, then suddenly her spirit lifted, and she said to Lin Zheng with a nervous expression, “Brother! Is the command token left by the Great Priest still there?”
“Uh! It’s still on the altar!”
“That’s great!” Yu Shi Lei wept tears of joy.
Lin Zheng felt a bit helpless.
This Xiao Yatou, she cried when she was sad, and she cried when she was happy.
She truly lived up to her title as the Saintess of the Tear Clan, practically an ambassador for tears.
Even her name carried the character for “tear”!
