"Good stuff, no wonder it's an orange item."

Having returned to her peak and reached even greater heights, Wang Zixuan gripped the ancient longbow tightly in her hand.

Her bowed body shimmered with a faint blue light, which complemented the spiritual energy surrounding her, making her look like a goddess who had walked out of ancient times.

Immediately, Wang Zixuan's eyes turned solemn as she raised her longbow to meet the evil god.

On the other side, Sui Ying, though unable to participate due to serious injury, did not sit idly by.

Using the tools at her disposal, Sui Ying constructed a series of solid defensive nets around Wang Zixuan, while also occasionally unleashing skills to help restrain her.

The intention was to buy time for Shao Siyuan, who was in a distant village.

Seeing this, the evil god's eyes widened in fury, and his voice echoed through the forest like thunder: "Do you really think you can stop me!"

Despite saying that, the evil god was actually starting to feel anxious.

Could they really have been found?

However, He must first get rid of these two stumbling blocks in front of Him.

The battle broke out again, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

"Whoosh—"

As the first arrow pierced the air, the rain curtain within a ten-meter radius was cleaved apart by the shockwave. The arrow, crackling with cyan arcs of electricity, precisely pierced the evil god's right claw, which had just torn through space!

"A mere trick." The evil god sneered, and the dissipated mist reformed. But the second arrow had already followed, this time with its tip ignited by blood-red flames, exploding into a crimson lotus between His brows.

Sui Ying sat on the ground, but took out a heavy mechanical crossbow from her backpack. The crossbow flashed and unfolded into a turret.

She knelt on the ground, her shoulder blades secured to the rock with two steel nails—an extreme measure to prevent the recoil from shattering her bones.

With a buzzing sound as energy was being replenished, five tungsten steel bullets engraved with Sanskrit characters were launched from the barrel, forming a unique set of runes in the air.

"Boom!" The cannonball slammed heavily into the evil god's body.

"Ah! You lowly ants!" The evil god's body was scorched with blackened holes, and countless painful faces emerged from the mist.

Those were the souls He had once devoured, now screaming and trying to break free.

Wang Zixuan seized the opportunity to leap into the air, drawing her longbow to its fullest extent.

The power of the Jade Fruit condensed into emerald-colored wings of light behind her. The moment the arrow left the bowstring, all the raindrops within a hundred meters radius were suspended in mid-air, and then transformed into thousands of ice spikes that blasted towards the evil god along with the arrow's momentum!

"Crackling and popping—!"

The mountain collapsed in the explosion, and half of the evil god's body was blasted into the rock wall, but the black mist was corroding the ice cones at a terrifying speed.

"Three minutes left." Wang Zixuan's expression was grave.

"Continue." Xiao Jin was sitting on the ground, injecting all the recovery items in his backpack into his body, regardless of whether they were useful or not.

If necessary, she will take over Wang Zixuan's position.

I hope she can move!

"Trying to stop me? You're delusional!" The evil god's claws suddenly pierced through the ice, and his entire form burst forth.

Ignoring her blood-soaked shoulder, Sui Ying turned the cannon in her hand around, aimed, and fired another shell.

But then Sui Ying saw His palm split open into a giant maw, swallowing all the cannonballs! A spear formed from black mist attacked from afar, instantly piercing Sui Ying's right shoulder and pinning her to the rock wall.

"Ah!!" The excruciating pain made Sui Ying scream.

"Game over." The evil god's body broke free of its restraints, and thousands of tentacles emerged from the mist: "It's time to end this."

Wang Zixuan's bowstring snapped at this moment. The Jade Condensation Fruit could exert 120% of its power in Xiao Jin's hands, but in her it was only 80%.

She was starting to feel the strain.

Wang Zixuan, watching the approaching tentacles of death, suddenly revealed a maniacal smile: "Do you know why I chose the bow and arrow?"

She tore open her clothes, revealing a blood-red crystal embedded in her heart—the "Lava Core" she had obtained in the previous dungeon.

The bow suddenly disintegrated and reformed, transforming into a blood-red spear that pierced Wang Zixuan's chest!

"Because of this..." the crystal slid down the gun barrel into the evil god's body, "so that it can explode at point-blank range!"

The world lost its color in an instant.

A crimson light erupted from the evil god's body, and its outstretched tentacles shattered like broken porcelain. Wang Zixuan was thrown heavily into the air in the intense light, her final smile frozen on her lips.

'Bang!'

"No—!!" The evil god let out an unprecedented scream. In the black mist, a red-gold core was exposed to the air. It was a beating black heart with golden cracks all over its surface.

"Wang Zixuan!!!" Sui Ying's shouts caught Xiao Jin's attention.

She tilted her head slightly, her ears twitched, and the next second her body disappeared from the spot.

When she reappeared, Xiao Jin had already teleported behind Wang Zixuan. She calmly reached out and caught her.

However, due to inertia, the two were thrown into the air at the same time, and Xiao Jin rolled several meters on the ground while holding Wang Zixuan.

As soon as he stopped, Xiao Jin didn't hesitate and plunged the syringe into Wang Zixuan's jugular vein.

During this time, Xiao Jin could smell a strong fishy odor, and countless warm liquids flowed from her hands to the ground, making a dripping sound.

"Hold on!" Xiao Jin remained calm, especially during times like these.

But she didn't hear Wang Zixuan's response, only increasingly faint breathing.

"You think this will work..." Before the evil god could finish speaking, seven pillars of fire suddenly rose from the direction of the village.

He was speechless, and after a moment roared in disbelief, "How is this possible? How could he have found it..."

"Of course you can!" Shao Siyuan's hoarse voice suddenly came from the sky: "The totem is destroyed, it's time for you to go back to the underground!"

He's back! Shao Siyuan's efforts haven't been in vain.

The next second, Shao Siyuan released his grip on the gyrfalcon and jumped from the sky to the ground.

Even though he was mentally prepared, seeing such a tragic scene still made Shao Siyuan's heart clench.

What a close call! If I had come back any later, I probably would have only found a pile of corpses!

As seven pillars of fire appeared in the distance, the golden patterns on the black heart within the evil god's body suddenly shone brightly.

His body flickered violently again and let out a painful roar. The black mist seemed to be torn apart by some force, constantly disintegrating and reforming.

"Ah—I will crush you all!"

His roar shook the mountains and forests, yet his body moved backward uncontrollably, as if forcibly pulled by some force.

Xiao Jin struggled to sit up. Although she couldn't see, she could feel the power of the evil god being weakened!

"Quickly... now!" she shouted hoarsely, "Shao Siyuan, take the rest of them away!"
