My Nascent Soul Ran Away Again - Chapter 193: Dead?!
Inside the Starry Moon Net, in the spider silk passageway.
“Why does this thing never end?!” Ao Sheng was exasperated.
Behind the Ice Dragon Chariot followed a pale golden spider, the embodiment of the Starry Moon Net’s spirit.
Its body occupied most of the spider silk passageway, making it impossible for any flying boat traveling within to avoid the guardian spider spirit.
The position of the spider spirit refreshed randomly.
When it appeared in front of Ao Sheng and his sister, they were speeding along in their chariot.
Suddenly, a giant spider appeared on the path.
Fortunately, Ao Yuan reacted quickly, pulling the brakes hard to avoid a collision.
Knowing the rules of this stage, they immediately turned around upon seeing the spider spirit, avoiding confrontation.
But what Ao Sheng didn’t expect was that the creature would keep chasing them.
It pursued them from one end to the other, as if saying, “You can’t leave unless you defeat me.”
What was even more unexpected for the siblings was that not only did the spider spirit keep chasing, but new spider spirits also appeared in front to block them during their escape.
“Turn left, into another passageway… these things only move within their own guarded spider silk paths,” Ao Sheng suggested.
After running for a while, he figured out the pattern of the spider spirit’s appearance.
The Starry Moon Net was a complex network of interwoven paths, all connected to the central Dagoda.
As long as they didn’t stray too far off course, they would eventually reach the destination.
Hearing this, Ao Yuan turned left into another spider web passageway.
But soon, new spider spirits appeared in the new path.
Ao Sheng gritted his teeth, “Ram through it!”
Killing a spider spirit would result in a deduction of extra points.
But they couldn’t afford to waste time.
Without reaching the central pagoda quickly to obtain the seven Spider Tokens, extra points were useless.
The siblings no longer held back. They avoided the spider spirits on their path when possible, and when unavoidable, they drove through them, aiming to pass the stage as quickly as possible.
“To all our beloved viewers,” the male commentator’s voice rang out.
“So far, seven teams have obtained the Spider Tokens from the central pagoda.”
The female commentator beamed, “They are Princess Nalan Yu from the Yu Cang Immortal Dynasty; Royals Ao Sheng and Ao Yuan from the Eastern Sea; three Masters from the Great Impermanent Monastery; three Daoists from the Spring Autumn Pavilion; two cultivators from the Jade Bone Sect; three members of the Tree People Tribe… and the most mysterious, the thirteenth special guest team!”
With each name announced by the female commentator, the arena erupted in cheers, creating a lively atmosphere as the audience’s excitement soared.
Both commentators said in unison, “Let’s congratulate these seven teams for entering the final speed race stage of this grand event!”
The track was flat and open, with the finish line already set ten miles away, where referees and guests were waiting.
The seven teams no longer controlled their speed, charging forward together.
“You can see, all seven teams are charging forward with great momentum,” the male commentator praised.
“The energy saved in the previous stages is now being fully unleashed.”
“Boom—I’
On the race track, the white bone chariot of the Jade Bone Sect and the Tree People Tribe’s spiritual wood chariot collided.
These old rivals, at odds since the last two tournaments, now engaged in mutual attacks in the final sprint.
A similar incident unfolded in the Buddhist and Daoist group.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
The long-missed sound of the wooden fish echoed on the racetrack. Ripples formed in the air, slicing towards the dazzling ox chariot.
“Twang, twang, twang…”
The three Daoists, not to be outdone, activated their ox chariot’s light, accompanied by vibrant guin music, neutralizing the Buddhist sound wave attacks.
Furthermore, under the rhythmic influence of the ox chariot, the three masters suddenly found their wooden fish sound being diverted, subtly blending into the qin music.
Realizing their disadvantage, the three Buddhist cultivators hastily recited the
Great Compassion Mantra, “Namo Heh Ra Da Na Dwo Bwo Ye / Namo A Li Ye / PO Lu Jie Di Shuo Bo Luo Ye / Bodhi Sattva PO Ye / Maha Sattva PO Ye…”
“Hehe.”
A few cold laughs emanated from the ox chariot, mixed with disdain.
The next moment, another voice came from the ox chariot:
“Tai Shang Mi Luo Wu Shang Tian / Miao You Xuan Zhen Jing / Miao Miao Zi
Jin Que / Tai Wei Yu Qing Gong / Wu Ji Wu Shang Sheng / Kuo Luo Fa Guang Ming / Ji Ji Hao Wu Zong / Xuan Fan Zong Shi Fang…”
To outsiders.
The accompaniments of these two songs… Were actually quite similar.
On the right was the Great Compassion Mantra from the Buddhist masters, and on the left, the Mi Luo Treasure Sutra from the Daoist immortals. Lu Xuan, lying in the bronze coffin, felt like he was being transcended.
“The competition among the competitors is intense… Huh? The thirteenth team is also making a move. As special guests of this tournament, they have been a great surprise since their appearance.”
The male commentator watched intently and exclaimed, “The thirteenth team slowed down, moving to the back of all competitors. A beautiful drift from the driver, and their treasure carriage flipped over!
With the bronze coffin in front and the dragon corpse behind, let’s see what this team plans to do… What?! The thirteenth team has thrown away the nine dragon corpses!”
Freed from the dragon corpses’ restraint, the bronze coffin’s speed surged, propelling it to the forefront of all the treasure carriages!
“In the last three miles of the race, the competitors are putting their all into the sprint.. Princess Nalan’s mechanical Phoenix is disintegrating and transforming!”
