“ gā gā ” de guài xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī xíng mào zhēng níng de guài wù ， bù zhī hé shí chū xiàn zài le shēn cè 。
“嘎嘎”的怪笑声传入耳朵，一形貌狰狞的怪物，不知何时出现在了身侧。
A strange, grating laugh echoed in his ears. A grotesque monster had suddenly appeared beside him.
liàn shī ！
炼尸！
**Reanimated Corpse!**
mó shé xiān zi miǎn qiǎng zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn zhè guài wù tōng tǐ chéng dàn yín zhī sè ， bǐ yì bān de liàn shī yào gāo dà dé duō ， yóu qí yǐn rén zhǔ mù de shì ， tā de bèi hòu ， yǒu yī duì yín sè de chì bǎng ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng biān fú de yī yàng ， yě shì cuǐ càn de yín sè 。
魔蛇仙子勉强转过头颅，只见这怪物通体呈淡银之色，比一般的炼尸要高大得多，尤其引人瞩目的是，它的背后，有一对银色的翅膀，看上去就像蝙蝠的一样，也是璀璨的银色。
The Fairy Serpent struggled to turn her head. The creature was a pale silver color and much larger than an ordinary reanimated corpse. Most strikingly, it possessed a pair of bat-like silver wings on its back, gleaming in the light.
shēn tǐ zhōu wéi shī qì pēn bó ， nà sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā gèng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jū rán yě shì fēn shén jí bié de 。
身体周围尸气喷薄，那散发出来的威压更是非同小可，居然也是分神级别的。
Around its body, a thick mist of necrotic energy surged, and the oppressive aura it emitted was no small matter; it was at the level of a spirit that had broken free from its body.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zhè guài wù cóng nǎ lǐ lái de ， yòu shì hé shí chū xiàn zài zì jǐ shēn cè ？
有没有搞错，这怪物从哪里来的，又是何时出现在自己身侧？
Had he misunderstood? Where did this monster come from, and when did it appear beside him?
mó shé xiān zi xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le yí huò ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zài sī suǒ zhè xiē yǐ jīng méi yǒu shén me yì yì le ， yín chì shī wáng de tōu xí yǐ jīng yǒu le xiào guǒ ， nà fēng ruì de lì zhuǎ zhí jiē jiāng tā de shēn tǐ guàn chuān diào le 。
魔蛇仙子心中充满了疑惑，然而此时此刻，再思索这些已经没有什么意义了，银翅尸王的偷袭已经有了效果，那锋锐的利爪直接将她的身体贯穿掉了。
The Fairy Serpent's mind was filled with confusion. However, there was little time to ponder these matters now. The Silver-Winged Corpse King's ambush had already taken effect; his sharp claws pierced her body, leaving no chance for her spirit core to escape.
lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu jī huì táo tuō ， luò rù le zhè liàn shī de zhǎng wò 。
连元婴都没有机会逃脱，落入了这炼尸的掌握。
One misstep and the entire game was lost. The Fairy Serpent, who had always been arrogant and domineering throughout her life, never imagined she would end up in such a predicament.
yī zhe bù shèn ， mǎn pán jiē shū ， mó shé xiān zi yī bèi zi xiāo zhāng bá hù ， què zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， yǒu zhāo yī rì ， zì jǐ huì lún luò dào zhè zhòng xià chǎng de 。
一着不慎，满盘皆输，魔蛇仙子一辈子嚣张跋扈，却做梦也没有想到，有朝一日，自己会沦落到这种下场的。
Fear etched on her spirit core's face as it could not even explode with self-destruction. As soon as the Silver-Winged Corpse King grabbed her, he cut off all her strength.
yuán yīng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì kǒng jù zhī sè ， què lián zì bào dōu bù kě dé ， zài yín chì shī wáng jiāng tā zhuā zhù de tóng shí ， jiù yǐ jīng jiāng qí hún shēn de lì gěi jié duàn diào le 。
元婴的脸上满是恐惧之色，却连自爆都不可得，在银翅尸王将她抓住的同时，就已经将其浑身的力给截断掉了。
Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve and a streak of green light shot out, enveloping the spirit core. He then took an jade box from his storage bracelet and stuffed it inside without further ado.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， jiāng nà yuán yīng bāo guǒ ， suí hòu ná chū yí gè yù hé ， èr huà bù shuō de jiāng qí sāi jìn qù le 。
林轩袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞掠而出，将那元婴包裹，随后拿出一个玉盒，二话不说的将其塞进去了。
Even after this, Lin Xuan was not satisfied; he pulled out several禁制符箓 and completely sealed the spirit core.
zuò dào zhè yī bù ， lín xuān yī jiù bù mǎn zú ， yī lián qǔ chū shù zhāng jìn zhì fú lù ， jiāng qí gěi chè dǐ fēng yìn zhù 。
做到这一步，林轩依旧不满足，一连取出数张禁制符箓，将其给彻底封印住。
Relieved, Lin Xuan returned the jade box to his waist pouch.
suí hòu lín xuān cái sōng le kǒu qì ， bǎ nà yù hé fàng huí dào le yāo jiān de xū yú dài lǐ 。
随后林轩才松了口气，把那玉盒放回到了腰间的须臾袋里。
**Aaah!**
“ áo ！”
“嗷！”
The thunderous roar of a beast reverberated through the air. Lin Xuan turned his head, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the earth rhino dragon.
jīng tiān dòng dì de shòu hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， yǎn jīng wēi mī ， xiàng nà dì xī lóng wàng qù 。
惊天动地的兽吼声传入耳朵，林轩转过头颅，眼睛微眯，像那地犀龙望去。
The Fairy Serpent's fall was unexpected for this creature; its eyes glowed with fierce intent, but all that hostility now directed towards him.
mó shé xiān zi yǔn luò ， zhè jiā huo yě shì shǐ liào wèi jí de ， cǐ shí yǎn zhōng xiōng guāng sì shè ， bù guò dí yì dōu zhuǎn yí dào zì jǐ shēn shàng le 。
魔蛇仙子陨落，这家伙也是始料未及的，此时眼中凶光四射，不过敌意都转移到自己身上了。
He had not acted yet because he harbored some reservations about the Silver-Winged Corpse King. However, he knew his own situation well: using his second spirit core to control this demon only allowed a moment of time before the reanimated corpse would retaliate.
zhī suǒ yǐ huán méi yǒu dòng shǒu ， shì yīn wèi duì yín chì shī wáng ， duō duō shǎo shǎo huái le nà me jǐ fēn gù jì ， bù guò zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ xiǎo de ， yòng dì èr yuán shén cāo kòng cǐ shī mó zhǐ yǒu yī kè zhōng ， jiǎ ruò chāo guò zhè ge shí jiān ， liàn shī jiù huì fǎn shì de 。
之所以还没有动手，是因为对银翅尸王，多多少少怀了那么几分顾忌，不过自己的情况自己晓得，用第二元神操控此尸魔只有一刻钟，假若超过这个时间，炼尸就会反噬的。
Speed was essential!
bì xū sù zhàn sù jué cái kě ！
必须速战速决才可！
Hopefully, Little Furball could handle this guy.
dàn yuàn xiǎo máo qiú néng gòu duì fù zhè ge jiā huo 。
但愿小毛球能够对付这个家伙。
In such circumstances, Lin Xuan had no choice but to rely on it.
shì dào rú jīn ， lín xuān yě zhǐ yǒu jì xī wàng yú cǐ le 。
事到如今，林轩也只有寄希望于此了。
With thoughts racing through his mind, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve. A bright light emerged, and a tower-shaped artifact flew out.
chú le zhè ge ， tā méi yǒu bié de xuǎn zé 。
除了这个，他没有别的选择。
The tower had seven layers and was in poor condition; its appearance held no special interest, and few would associate it with an omnipotent treasure.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， líng guāng dà zuò ， yī bǎo tǎ xíng zhuàng de qì fēi lüè ér chū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩袖袍一拂，灵光大做，一宝塔形状的器飞掠而出。
**Quick!**
fēn qī céng ， pò pò làn làn de ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， méi yǒu fēn háo chū qí zhī chù ， yòu yǒu jǐ rén ， huì jiāng tā yǔ tōng tiān líng bǎo lián xì zài yì qǐ ne ？
分七层，破破烂烂的，表面上看，没有分毫出奇之处，又有几人，会将它与通天灵宝联系在一起呢？
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, pointing his index finger slowly but urgently forward. The sound of buzzing filled the air as the second layer door of the tower opened, revealing a vortex. Little Furball emerged sleepily from within.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Unlike before, when he needed some time to understand the situation, this time, upon emerging, Little Furball shivered and its eyes snapped open, staring intently at the earth rhino dragon.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， shí zhǐ shì huǎn shí jí de xiàng qián diǎn qù ， wēng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà bǎo tǎ dì èr céng de mén hōng rán dǎ kāi le ， yǎn qián chū xiàn le yí gè xuán wō ， xiǎo máo qiú shuì yǎn xīng sōng de cóng lǐ miàn chū lái le 。
林轩右手抬起，食指似缓实急的向前点去，嗡鸣声传入耳朵，那宝塔第二层的门轰然打开了，眼前出现了一个漩涡，小毛球睡眼惺忪的从里面出来了。
**Miao!**
rán ér yǔ yǐ qián xū yào bàn xiǎng cái néng nòng qīng chǔ zhuàng kuàng bù tóng ， zhè yī cì ， xiǎo máo qiú cái gāng gāng chū lái ， jiù jī líng líng de dǎ le gè lěng zhàn ， yǎn jīng yī xià zi zhēng kāi ， sǐ sǐ de cháo zhe dì xī lóng wàng le guò lái 。
然而与以前需要半响才能弄清楚状况不同，这一次，小毛球才刚刚出来，就激灵灵的打了个冷颤，眼睛一下子睁开，死死的朝着地犀龙望了过来。
The fur on its body stood up, and it stared with wide eyes, tightly focused on the earth rhino dragon. Its expression was bizarre to say the least.
“ miāo wū ！”
“喵呜！”
Tension mingled with excitement as saliva dripped from its mouth… as if it had seen something delicious.
xiǎo jiā huo shēn shàng de róng máo yī xià zi dào shù ， liǎng zhǐ yǎn jīng dèng dé dà dà de ， jǐn jǐn de dīng zhe dì xī lóng ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng gèng shì gǔ guài dào jí chù 。
小家伙身上的绒毛一下子倒竖，两只眼睛瞪得大大的，紧紧的盯着地犀龙，脸上的表情更是古怪到极处。
However, there was also a clear hint of fear.
jǐn zhāng yǔ xīng fèn xiāng hùn hé ， wēi zhāng de zuǐ bā zhōng gèng shì yǒu kǒu shuǐ liú chū …… nà gǎn jué ， jiù fǎng fú kàn jiàn le shén me měi wèi shí wù 。
紧张与兴奋相混合，微张的嘴巴中更是有口水流出……那感觉，就仿佛看见了什么美味食物。
**Could this be...**
rán ér míng xiǎn yòu dài zhe nà me jǐ fēn jì dàn zhī yì de 。
然而明显又带着那么几分忌惮之意的。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as he recalled their first encounter. Little Furball was greedily devouring the soul of an ancient beast, but showed no interest in ordinary demons.
“ nán dào shuō ……”
“难道说……”
In other words, its taste was high.
xiǎo máo qiú zhè fú biǎo qíng ràng lín xuān yǒu liǎo wú shù de cāi cè ， bù yóu de huí yì qǐ yǔ tā chū yù de shí kè ， xiǎo jiā huo zhèng tūn shì mán huāng gǔ shòu de hún pò ， xiǎn de tān chī dào jí chù 。
小毛球这幅表情让林轩有了无数的猜测，不由得回忆起与它初遇的时刻，小家伙正吞噬蛮荒古兽的魂魄，显得贪吃到极处。
The earth rhino dragon before it was not just any魔兽; it had a trace of demon blood.
rán ér duì yú pǔ tōng de yāo zú ， què yòu bù xiè yī gù 。
然而对于普通的妖族，却又不屑一顾。
Little Furball extended its tongue and licked its lips.
huàn jù huà shuō ， xiǎo jiā huo de kǒu wèi shì hěn gāo de 。
换句话说，小家伙的口味是很高的。
Meanwhile, the earth rhino dragon turned its head as well, shifting its attention from the Silver-Winged Corpse King to Little Furball.
ér yǎn qián de dì xī lóng ， kě bú shì pǔ tōng de mó shòu ， nǎi shì jù yǒu yī sī niè lóng de xuè tǒng 。
而眼前的地犀龙，可不是普通的魔兽，乃是具有一丝孽龙的血统。
**Roar!**
xiǎo jiā huo shēn chū shé tou ， zuǐ chún yě zā bā zā bā de dòng 。
小家伙伸出舌头，嘴唇也咂巴咂巴的动。
A thunderous roar echoed through the air. However, the earth rhino dragon's voice carried a hint of fear. Although it had not yet awakened its spirit intelligence, instinct told it that Little Furball was no weakling and was a threat.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， dì xī lóng tóng yàng jiāng tóu lú zhuǎn guò ， zhù yì lì yě yóu yín chì shī wáng zhuǎn yí dào xiǎo máo qiú shēn shàng le 。
与此同时，地犀龙同样将头颅转过，注意力也由银翅尸王转移到小毛球身上了。
Thus, these two monsters began to face off.
hǒu ！
吼！
Although the earth rhino dragon had shrunk significantly after its mutation, it still measured several meters in length. In comparison, Little Furball was insignificant, like an ant. However, in the world of cultivation, size did not always determine strength; while there was some correlation between power and physique, they were not directly proportional.
jīng tiān dòng dì de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rán ér dì xī lóng de jiào shēng zhōng ， míng xiǎn yě dài zhe jì dàn zhī sè ， suī rán tā de líng zhì wèi néng kāi qǐ chéng ， dàn běn néng yě kě yǐ gǎn jué dào xiǎo máo qiú shí lì bù ruò ， nǎi shì zì jǐ de tiān dì le 。
惊天动地的叫声传入耳朵，然而地犀龙的叫声中，明显也带着忌惮之色，虽然他的灵智未能开启成，但本能也可以感觉到小毛球实力不弱，乃是自己的天地了。
**Miao!**
yú shì zhè yī dà yī xiǎo liǎng gè guài wù ， jiù kāi shǐ duì zhì le 。
于是这一大一小两个怪物，就开始对峙了。
The stalemate was unfavorable for Little Furball, but it didn't need Lin Xuan's urging to act. It moved swiftly, spinning around in place.
dì xī lóng fā shēng biàn yì yǐ hòu ， tǐ xíng suī rán suō xiǎo le hěn duō ， rán ér yī jiù shì yǒu shù zhàng zhī zhǎng ， yǔ qí xiāng bǐ ， xiǎo máo qiú shuō shì lóu yǐ yě bù wèi guò ， rán ér xiū xiān jiè de dōng xī ， bìng bú shì shuō shuí dà ， shuí jiù lì hài ， shí lì yǔ tǐ xíng ， suī rán bù néng shuō wán quán méi yǒu guān xì ， dàn jué duì bú shì chéng zhèng bǐ 。
地犀龙发生变异以后，体型虽然缩小了很多，然而依旧是有数丈之长，与其相比，小毛球说是蝼蚁也不为过，然而修仙界的东西，并不是说谁大，谁就厉害，实力与体型，虽然不能说完全没有关系，但绝对不是成正比。
Indeed, it was a spin. As its movements began, a milky white light suddenly burst forth.
“ miāo wū ！”
“喵呜！”
Initially, the light enveloped only itself, but soon spread outward.
duì zhì duì zì jǐ bù lì ， hǎo zài bù yòng lín xuān cuī cù ， xiǎo máo qiú jiù yǐ rán dòng shǒu le ， zhǐ jiàn tā shēn xíng yī shǎn ， dī liū liū de zài yuán dì zhuǎn dòng qǐ lái 。
对峙对自己不利，好在不用林轩催促，小毛球就已然动手了，只见它身形一闪，滴溜溜的在原地转动起来。
In an instant, a layer of milky white light covered several miles around, including Lin Xuan himself, who wore an expression of anticipation.
bù cuò ， jiù shì xuán zhuǎn ， kàn shì jiǎn dān ， rán ér suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī dào rǔ bái sè de guāng yùn què hōng rán bó fā chū lái 。
不错，就是旋转，看似简单，然而随着它的动作，一道乳白色的光晕却轰然勃发出来。
**Domain!**
qǐ chū de shí hòu jǐn jǐn shì jiāng tā zì jǐ de shēn tǐ bāo guǒ ， dàn hěn kuài jiù xiàng sì zhōu mí sàn kāi le 。
起初的时候仅仅是将它自己的身体包裹，但很快就像四周弥散开了。
Although this domain was flawed, it proved nearly invincible against beastly demons. It had never let him down before; would the result be the same now?
bù guò zhuǎn shùn de fū ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， dōu bèi lǒng zhào shàng le nà céng rǔ bái sè de guāng mù ， lín xuān yě mù yù qí zhōng ， liǎn shàng dài zhe qī dài zhī sè 。
不过转瞬的夫，方圆数里，都被笼罩上了那层乳白色的光幕，林轩也沐浴其中，脸上带着期待之色。
Lin Xuan's face showed admiration as the earth rhino dragon did not escape the domain.
lǐng yù ！
领域！
However, unlike previous demons, the earth rhino dragon maintained a wary expression but did not panic.
suī rán xiǎo jiā huo shī zhǎn de ， shì yǒu xiá cī zhī wù ， rán ér miàn duì yě shòu xíng tài de yāo zú ， què jī hū shì wú wǎng ér bù lì de 。
虽然小家伙施展的，是有瑕疵之物，然而面对野兽形态的妖族，却几乎是无往而不利的。
Lin Xuan's battle experience was vast enough to notice this. His face darkened, but he had no time to think further because Little Furball attacked.
yǐ qián cóng méi yǒu ràng zì jǐ shī wàng guò ， zhè yī cì ， shì bú shì yī jiù shì tóng yàng de jié guǒ 。
以前从没有让自己失望过，这一次，是不是依旧是同样的结果。
With a flick of its tiny claws, it unleashed countless lightning bolts and fireballs into the surrounding space.
lín xuān fēi cháng qī dài le 。
林轩非常期待了。
The electric arcs were as thick as an arm, and the fireballs were larger than buckets. The sheer number of attacks was staggering; they rained down on the earth rhino dragon from all directions.
ér dì xī lóng guǒ rán yě méi yǒu táo kāi ， mù yù zài le xiǎo máo qiú de lǐng yù lǐ miàn 。
而地犀龙果然也没有逃开，沐浴在了小毛球的领域里面。
In that moment, Lin Xuan felt a delusion that he was experiencing another heavenly tribulation.
rán ér yǔ yǐ qián de yāo zú bù tóng ， dì xī lóng suī rán bǎo chí zhe jiè bèi zhī sè ， què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ jīng huāng shī cuò 。
然而与以前的妖族不同，地犀龙虽然保持着戒备之色，却并没有因此惊慌失措。
So easily could such a massive attack be launched; the domain truly was impressive.
lín xuān de dòu jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， bǔ zhuō dào zhè yì diǎn ， liǎn sè dùn shí yǒu xiē nán kàn ， bù guò tā méi lái de jí xiǎng tài duō ， yīn wèi xiǎo máo qiú dòng shǒu le 。
林轩的斗经验何等丰富，捕捉到这一点，脸色顿时有些难看，不过他没来得及想太多，因为小毛球动手了。
Lin Xuan's face showed admiration as the earth rhino dragon responded. It inflated its cheeks and raised its head, spewing out a black beam from its blood-filled mouth.
xiǎo zhuǎ zi yī wǔ ， méi yǒu rèn hé duō yú de dòng zuò ， rán ér fù jìn de kōng jiān zhōng ， què píng kōng chū xiàn liǎo wú shù de léi huǒ 。
小爪子一舞，没有任何多余的动作，然而附近的空间中，却凭空出现了无数的雷火。
The beam instantly transformed into heads of evil spirits, which gnashed their teeth before spitting out green ghostly flames to clash with Little Furball's attack.
yī dào dào er bì cū de diàn hú ， nà xiē huǒ qiú bǐ liǎn pén hái yào dà dé duō ， shù liàng gèng shì lìng rén cè mù ， cháo zhe dì xī lóng pū tiān gài dì de dǎ qù le 。
一道道儿臂粗的电弧，那些火球比脸盆还要大得多，数量更是令人侧目，朝着地犀龙铺天盖地的打去了。
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly; the domain indeed had flaws. It was unclear whether it was due to the earth rhino dragon's high level or its demon blood, but this domain could not completely suppress it. He would have to lend a hand.
wǒ de lǐng yù wǒ zuò zhǔ ， zài nà yī kè ， lín xuān jī hū chǎn shēng le huàn jué ， yǐ wéi tiān jié yòu chū xiàn le 。
我的领域我做主，在那一刻，林轩几乎产生了幻觉，以为天劫又出现了。
**Postscript:** Sorry for today's rush; I only managed one chapter.
A strange, grating laugh echoed in his ears. A grotesque monster had suddenly appeared beside him.
**Reanimated Corpse!**
The Fairy Serpent struggled to turn her head. The creature was a pale silver color and much larger than an ordinary reanimated corpse. Most strikingly, it possessed a pair of bat-like silver wings on its back, gleaming in the light.
Around its body, a thick mist of necrotic energy surged, and the oppressive aura it emitted was no small matter; it was at the level of a spirit that had broken free from its body.
Had he misunderstood? Where did this monster come from, and when did it appear beside him?
