Unexpectedly, the figure hidden behind the rocks launched the first attack.

In an instant, a thick fog surged up from below, like a giant curtain, enveloping everything and making visibility instantly blurry.

Something tiny, carrying the force of a gust of wind, hurtled swiftly toward Bula!

[Bula]: !!

Bula reacted extremely quickly, his body instinctively making a dodging motion, barely avoiding this fatal blow.

Upon closer inspection, Bu Ya realized that it was actually a blood-red feather, faintly glowing with an eerie light in the mist.

Recalling how the Night Elves had tried everything to eliminate her and Yu Xiangnan from the very beginning, Bu Ya looked down into the mist and questioned, "The Eight Reversed Ones and the Golden Shield Clan clearly made an agreement not to act arbitrarily, but are you openly violating the contract with your current actions?"

However, all she received in response were the icy stares and emotionless attacks from the night scorpions.

There was complete silence all around; no one spoke in response.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, the person below finally appeared.

It was a woman, dressed in a fitted cheongsam, holding a round fan, half-covering the corner of her mouth, letting out a clear and melodious yet slightly mocking laugh: "Rules are dead, people are alive."

"Besides, I am not a reversed card, so how can the system punish me for that?"

The moment Yu Xiangnan's gaze fell upon her face, his pupils contracted sharply, and his hands clenched into fists as if out of control, his knuckles turning white from the force.

She never imagined that the person in front of her was the same woman who had whispered with the fake Yingxiao inside the crystal!

The woman's smile deepened as she spoke, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Suzaku, and I am one of the eight reversed candidates."

Almost at the same moment the woman introduced herself, Yu Xiangnan quickly calmed down and, with skillful maneuvering, swiftly used the furthest trigger panel distance to open her player profile panel.

"Today... is your death day." Suzaku sneered.

Before Yu Xiangnan and Bu Ya could react, Zhuque's aura suddenly changed, and her originally smooth long hair seemed to come alive, starting to grow wildly and uncontrollably.

The hair was like strong ropes, flying freely in the air.

One strand of hair shot out like an arrow, aiming straight for Yu Xiangnan's throat!

Yu Xiangnan's pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly swung his shovel to defend himself.

The hair struck the shovel with a metallic clang that made her arm go numb.

At the same time, more hair lashed out at Buya. Buya's eyes narrowed, and she quickly put down the Gatling gun, which was about to run out of ammunition, and dodged to the side.

But the hair seemed to have a tracking ability, following closely behind, so Buya could only keep changing her shape.

The Vermilion Bird's power was beyond imagination; with its strange abilities, it successfully drove Yu Xiangnan and Bu Ya back to the ground.

As if receiving some kind of command, the Night Serpents suddenly intensified their attack upon seeing the two land. Taking advantage of the fact that the two were tightly restrained by the Vermilion Bird's serpentine and resilient hair, the Night Serpents swarmed in from all directions like a tide.

After a long and fierce battle, Yu Xiangnan and Bu Ya's energy levels were rapidly depleting.

In this desperate situation, continuing to fight would only lead to certain death, so they had no choice but to temporarily evade the battle. After a perilous breakout, Yu Xiangnan and Bu Ya finally found a secluded place.

It was a corner piled with discarded junk, surrounded by tall, broken walls, like a natural barrier.

The two, along with Yu You, Bula, Fei Duo, and Xiao Lan, quickly concealed themselves in the shadows, their rapid breathing unusually clear in the silence.

While cautiously observing their surroundings, they seized the time to recover their strength and ponder a way to break the deadlock.

Yu Xiangnan lowered his eyes, his voice hoarse and apologetic: "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been involved in this conflict."

Bu Ya shook her head: "Little sister, don't say that. This matter concerns both of us."

"This incident has shown me the ugly face of the Third Reversal. I will inform Elder Nian and the other elders as soon as possible. I want to see what kind of storm they want to stir up. Our Golden Shield Clan will never sit idly by and let them do whatever they want!"

[Bula]: Agreed! We must not let them get away with this!

[Feiduo]: ......

The prison ghost beside him was already exhausted, its body rapidly shrinking until it became a small skull, floating helplessly in mid-air, occasionally spitting out a few ghost fire bubbles.

Just as Yu Xiangnan and Bu Ya were recovering from their shock, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the air, as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread outwards.

Bu Ya's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively gripped her weapon tighter, hissing, "Watch out, they're coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure enveloped in billowing black flames descended from the sky.

It is indeed the Vermilion Bird!

She looked down at them, radiating intense killing intent. Her icy gaze locked onto Yu Xiangnan and Bu Ya, and without a word, she quickly formed hand seals.

In an instant, the hair, wreathed in black flames, swept wildly toward the two of them, leaving shocking cracks in the ground wherever it went, and filling the air with a pungent smell of burning.

Seeing this, Bu Ya did not hesitate to protect Yu Xiangnan behind her, channeling all her energy to unleash her defensive skills.

In an instant, an invisible yet resilient energy barrier rapidly expanded, tightly protecting the two within it.

The flames slammed against the barrier, producing a piercing hissing sound and scattering sparks, but they could not break through the defense.

Seeing that its attack was thwarted, Zhuque became even more ferocious in its offensive.

Taking advantage of a lull in the attack, Yu Xiangnan took a deep breath, converted some of his health points into agility, and then charged towards the Vermilion Bird with a burst of speed.

Let's give it our all!

Once she was at a suitable distance, she simultaneously used [Shield] and [Blood Oath]!

The iron shovel gleamed with a chilling light, drawing a deadly arc in the dim light as it pierced towards Zhuque with lightning speed.

Zhuque clearly did not expect that Yu Xiangnan could launch such a fierce counterattack under such desperate circumstances. At the same time, his skills and card collection were locked at the same time!

She couldn't dodge in time; the sharp weapon slashed her arm, and blood gushed out instantly, dripping onto the scalding ground with a sizzling sound.

Zhuque seemed enraged, a fierce glint flashing across her face. "You won't stop my plan! Today, no one will leave alive, and not a single word of it will get out!"
