"Mom...Mom..."

The two looked in the direction of the sound.

The wolves that were chasing earlier were not pursuing their prey, but rather the wolf pack that was running in front and carrying the prey.

However, the prey between its sharp teeth was none other than a seriously injured woman.

"I'll go after them." Horry said as he mounted his horse, flicked the reins, and charged forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Xiao He drew his sword and cast a healing spell on her from afar.

Following the sound of sobbing, I came to the corner and saw a shivering girl hiding in a winnowing basket.

The girl looked to be only five or six years old, and seemed to be completely terrified by the horrific scene.

"How could a woman and a child be out on such a dangerous street?" Xiao He stepped forward and picked up the little girl with one hand.

"Waaah..." The little girl had just thrown herself into Xiao He's arms when she suddenly burst into tears.

"Hey!" Xiao He quickly covered her mouth.

The little girl looked into those bright eyes and fell silent for a moment.

[Xiao He: I'll take the child to the academy first and see if there's a barrier that can block it]

Horry: Okay, I'll give you the coordinates in a bit. Be careful.

Xiao He: Hmm

As Xiao He replied, he carried the girl and ran along the rooftop.

Although this will attract more monsters, it is the fastest and shortest path.

There were many soldiers on the road, all of them fighting in teams, but most of them were already covered in wounds.

Xiao He activated his Life Eye and cast healing spells repeatedly, and the energy consumed over dozens of times was only equivalent to a basic healing spell.

It must be said that if this "new eye" is used properly, it can indeed bring about a significant qualitative change for the pastor.

"A priest? A cleric?" The soldiers were all shocked.

They were shocked not only by the arrival of a priest to provide support, but also by the fact that this priest was a lone individual!

In people's eyes, the element of life is always at the top of the ten-element hierarchy of contempt.

After all, no one would go against their own fate.

Therefore, pastors have always held a high status, and given the scarcity of high-level pastors, it takes a great deal of influence to invite a pastor to provide support.

However, the higher the rank of the pastor, the more he cherishes his own life.

They had never seen a priest like this before, running alone in the middle of the battlefield with such gusto.

Before people could even register what was happening, Xiao He's figure had already disappeared among the rooftops.

"Illusion, an illusion?"

"Is this not a hallucination? My wound has already healed..."

"Me too……"

The Stardust Magic Academy is not in a remote location; on the contrary, it is quite convenient.

Stardust City is able to attract so many residents because of this academy; otherwise, it would only be a little more prosperous than an ordinary town.

Following the route in his memory, Xiao He finally found the academy's gate amidst the chaos of the street.

Sure enough, this place is like a survivor camp.

The enormous barrier in the sky is the last bastion of the entire city.

The scene before us could easily be described as an alternate version of Resident Evil.

Many residents may have drunk water contaminated with mutated blood, and ended up looking like half-skeletons and half-walking corpses, which was extremely horrifying.

"Who goes there?!"

"Supporter".

As Xiao He presented his proof, he slashed down the walking corpses that were chasing after him.

"Come in quickly!" the guard hurriedly called to him.

However, Xiao He simply handed the girl to the guard and showed no intention of entering the room himself.

"you?"

"I don't need to go in for now, you guys keep watch."

"Okay, okay."

Xiao He glanced at the newly closed barrier and saw that the energy it contained was already very thin, and it seemed that it wouldn't last more than a few days.

The city barrier of Stardust City has long since collapsed. If the demons within the city cannot be eradicated, there is no point in repairing the city barrier.

"Let's start by clearing around the academy; at least that will minimize the wear and tear on the barrier." Xiao He quickly determined the direction and turned to the right side of the street.

The right side is relatively spacious, making it a convenient place for many monsters to gather and attack.

"Boom!"

A house collapsed instantly under the fist of the mutated gorilla.

Then, those fists, each as thick as three people could hug, slammed into the thin, faint wall in mid-air without any fancy moves.

"ah--"

Screams erupted from inside the wall.

The mutated gorilla became even more excited after hearing such a sound.

Xiao He didn't even need to use intermediate skills; he just used his third skill, Dark Flash, to swipe up.

The academy's barrier has a visual distortion effect, making it impossible to see the opposite side from either the inside or the outside.

So the people inside the wall only knew that a helper had arrived and quickly repelled the enemy, but they didn't know who the helper was; they could only vaguely see a small, exquisite figure.

"A girl?" Many people were taken aback.

One of the boys was peering out the window, his eyes wide as he tried to make out the blurry figure.

"Sigh, I feel like I know her so well..."

Hearing his words, several boys of similar age gathered around.

"This body shape does look familiar?"

"Really? Who is it?"

"Wait, she's fighting outside all by herself? But the monsters outside... they're all mutated!"

"And most importantly, why does such an amazing girl look so familiar to us?"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Does our college have anyone that talented?"

"Even if there are, they wouldn't look like this... At least they should be mentors, right?"

"..."

[Three-way victory (new information)]

Horry: How's it going on your end?
