Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 325: Remnant Net and Beacon Tower

Ash flowed through his fingers, mixing with the cold sweat and mud in his palm, leaving behind only a handful of powder devoid of any spiritual energy.

Su Ming stared at the now-useless "Earth Escape Talisman" in his hand, his pupils contracting slightly.

There was no anger, nor that hysterical feeling of being toyed with by fate. He simply let go with extreme calmness, allowing the powder worth five mid-grade spirit stones to be scattered by the blood-scented night wind.

A rib was broken, probably the fourth one on the left side. The broken end stabbed painfully into his lung, making every breath agonizing.

Su Ming pushed against the ground, trying to stand up.

As soon as he put force into his knees, a sweet taste surged in his throat. A mouthful of dark red, stagnant blood choked out, splattering onto the rubble-strewn ruins.

He wiped the corner of his mouth roughly and forcefully.

The world around him was a chaotic mix of dark gold and blood red.

The dust raised by the explosion hadn't settled yet, but that teeth-grating "rustling" sound already filled his ears.

Leaning against a broken section of stone wall, Su Ming activated the Aura Concealment Art. Using the shadow as cover, he quickly adjusted his breathing rhythm.The Like Water Art struggled to circulate within his body. Spiritual energy flowed like a tiny stream, wrapping around the broken rib, forcibly holding the nearly dislocated bone in place.

"Master, our retreat route... is cut off."

"If it's cut off, we need to think of another way."

Lin Yu's Soul Body fluctuated violently within the Xuantian ring. His divine sense probed the surroundings but was suppressed by countless insectoid auras to within a ten-zhang radius.

Su Ming withdrew his gaze, looking down at his chest.

There, he had originally carried his most crucial possession—the main control formation plate of the "Spirit Response Spider Web."

Now, this formation plate, crafted with immense effort using the finest Star Pattern Steel, was covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

The spirit stone at its core had also grown dim and murky, leaving only an extremely faint, ghostly blue speck of light stubbornly flickering deep within the cracks.

That was the last remaining warmth of the Bing-7 Defense Zone.

"Master, although the earth energy is chaotic, the frequency of the spiritual energy remains."

Su Ming's fingers gently traced the broken lines on the formation plate. "My Spiderweb nodes don't rely on earth veins; they only borrow earth energy."

Su Ming suddenly bit down hard on the tip of his tongue.

Intense pain stimulated his nerves. A surge of pure heart's blood instantly flooded his mouth.
