Chapter 1776: It Stands Up for Itself

Chapter 1776: Chapter 1776: It Stands Up for Itself

The golden light approached swiftly, and in an instant, it was about to hit Ji You’s face. Ji You had no time to dodge and was nearly ready to brace for impact when a shadow flashed by, blocking in front of Ji You’s face. Ji You froze, realizing it was the Little Golden Dragon using its body to shield her.

Immediately after.

The Little Golden Dragon expanded its body’s Protective Shield, wrapping Ji You tightly.

Moments later, the golden lights hit the Little Golden Dragon’s body, emitting a crackling sound. Through the Protective Shield, Ji You could smell a strong burnt fragrance.

The Little Golden Dragon’s eyelids didn’t move a bit, still standing firmly outside the Protective Shield.

The light quickly ignited its entire body.

Crackle~

Crackle~

Crackle~

...

From the moment this happened to the Little Golden Dragon stepping forward, it was so fast that when Ji You realized who was protecting her, her heart tightened. That feeling as though her entire heart was being grabbed, squeezed tightly with a pain that made Ji You’s figure sway...

"I didn’t ask you to rush out, who told you to rush out?" Ji You asked through gritted teeth, enduring the stabbing pain in her heart.

The Little Golden Dragon didn’t even raise an eyebrow, calmly saying, "These golden lights are not something your fragile body can withstand. Once you touch them, your entire being could evaporate."

Ji You’s heart tightened.

The golden lights continued their crackling, like hail, smacking onto the Little Golden Dragon’s body. The Little Golden Dragon’s body quickly developed a layer of scorched black, melting, scorched black, melting...

And the Little Golden Dragon’s body also continued to recover, corrode, recover, corrode in a relentless cycle.

Perhaps the pain was indeed intense, as its nonchalant face momentarily showed a trace of cracking.

But in just a blink, its expression returned to normal.

Ji You regained her breathing pattern and said, "Come back inside the Protective Shield."

The Little Golden Dragon shook its head and said, "No, if I enter the Protective Shield, the protective effect will be greatly diminished. These golden lights mainly target you, so you can’t come out. My body is not as simple as you think, this little damage is still within my resistance."

"Really?" Ji You pursed her lips, trying to make her voice sound calm, "Why do I feel like you’re lying to me?"

The Little Golden Dragon instantly closed its mouth, looking as if it couldn’t be bothered to respond.

The golden lights continued to swarm in without any sign of stopping. Ji You raised her head, looking through these golden lights towards the Blue, Yellow, and Qing armies.

At this moment, chaos still prevails, with one corpse after another, the constantly flowing blood constantly converging to form golden lights. The three tribes are still fighting sporadically, but more people are being urgently dispatched to reorganize their troops.

The Little Golden Dragon was being roasted by the golden lights.

The situation for Old Huang Niu wasn’t much better. The moment the golden light fell, it scorched the cowhide, layer by layer, turning into a giant lump of charcoal in the blink of an eye. Old Huang Niu cried out in pain, rolling continuously in mid-air.

Meanwhile, Red·Red·Stone, who had been carefully hiding, has yet to appear.

Qing·Lv·Shi’s half-army hidden in the distance also hasn’t made any other moves.

...

Protected tightly within the Protective Shield, Ji You clutched her palm tightly. She thought she had planned for so long, playing this and that role, repeatedly jumping between several teams, believing everything was under control, but once the actual fight started, everything went beyond her control.

For instance, Red·Red·Stone didn’t join the fight from the start.

Qing·Lv·Shi was caught by her by the Life Line but still didn’t listen, looking like he might rebel at any moment.

Regarding the Blue and Yellow tribes, Ji You knew very little in advance and didn’t understand what other abilities these tribes might have.

...

Everything told Ji You how naive and ignorant her previous thoughts were, how arrogant and self-righteous.

Under these strong feelings of regret, Ji You tried hard to remain calm, telling herself not to panic, not to fear, not to be chaotic...

There must be a solution.

Absolutely.

But——

Despite the loud slogans, she remained mired in confusion.

At this moment, Ji You’s mind was like a tangled mess, chaotic thoughts, especially when seeing the Little Golden Dragon’s previously glossy Scale Armor burning and falling, piece by piece...

Old Niu cried out in pain...

Ji You’s heart grew increasingly unable to remain calm and composed.

At that moment, Ji You even began to doubt herself.

Right then——

[Sister.]

A clear voice, carrying a hint of soft and youthful tones, suddenly called Ji You to her senses. Ji You’s body trembled.

[Sister, don’t be afraid.]

[I’m here.]

[Sister, watch those golden lights.]

[Solve those, and you solve the problem.]

Ji You straightened up her body, expressionlessly looking at those golden lights. The lights shimmered, like tiny mini stars, beautiful, brilliant...

Xiao You strived to raise her head, looking at the only source of light in this enclosed space, which was a manifestation of her sister’s spiritual power.

It flickered now, intermittently dim and bright, akin to a star.

Xiao You’s heart tightened instantly.

It turned out, her sister wasn’t always strong.

It turned out her sister also had moments of fragility and helplessness.

It turned out all her sister’s strength was forced growth.

...

Gazing at this flickering light above, Xiao You clenched one hand into her palm while the other tightly covered her heart, which was now feeling painful. She... feared nothing, even if forever confined in this dark, narrow space, she never felt a trace of fear, but now, Xiao You feared that this light might suddenly extinguish.

This fear seemingly penetrated her bones and blood, engraved into her soul...

No way!

Xiao You, you must be strong.

You can do it.

You can become your sister’s sole reliance.

Xiao You tried hard to convince herself. Then she used a very steady tone to say to Ji You: [Sister... these golden lights should be a form of energy.]

"Yes." Ji You faced her, saying, "I’ve already realized that. Moreover, the scope of these golden lights isn’t limited just to the Blue and Yellow tribes. They even appear on the Qing tribe’s corpses simultaneously. What does this suggest?"

Hearing her sister’s voice calm again, Xiao You felt delighted, even spoke unconsciously with a hint of cheerfulness, [Does it suggest that the Physical fitness of the three tribes contains the same kind of energy?]

"Yes, that’s part of it," Ji You nodded and continued, "that means—at some certain point, the Blue, Yellow, and Qing tribes secretly reached some agreement, bypassing the monitoring of me, the Little Golden Dragon, and Old Niu."
