Chapter 149 Intense Battle

The wolf moved swiftly.

Jiang Xi sat on Mu Ling's back, traveling swiftly through the snowy forest.

Carter led the way from the sky.

The accompanying beastmen also transformed into their beast forms, running around the gray wolf and shaking the snowflakes that filled the forest.

Time passed, and the red moon hung in the sky, casting a red glow over the snow-covered forest.

Suddenly, the cry of an eagle rang out.

The beastmen in the snowy forest all came to a stop.

Mu Ling also stopped and looked up at the sky. Lu Liufeng landed and stood on the treetop, pointing in a direction.

"There is a surge of supernatural energy."

Jiang Xi immediately replied.

"Let's go take a look."

After running for so long, she began to doubt that she was going in the wrong direction.

Mu Ling turned around and, taking the female master with him, stepped out of the air in an instant.

This also allowed Jiang Xi to see the source of the supernatural energy fluctuations that Lu Liufeng had mentioned.

A dazzling array of colors emanated from the distant mountains.

After seeing clearly, Mu Ling returned to the ground.

He said to Hollen beside him.

"Protect the mistress for me for a while, I'm going to check on her."

After saying that, he turned his head to the female master on his back.

"My lady, I'll go check first and make sure it's Yi Yuexi and Mu."

Jiang Xi nodded and climbed from Mu Ling's back onto the slightly shorter Huo Lun's back.

Mu Ling took a step forward and disappeared into the snow forest.

Hollen carried the female master and continued running in that direction.

Not long after, Mu Ling suddenly reappeared, panting.

"It's a curse. Yi Yuexi, Mu, and Hong are also there, but Fu and the others didn't see it."

Lu Liufeng folded his wings, descended from the sky, and walked towards the female master.

He pursed his lips, his amber eyes filled with worry.

“Mistress, now that the contamination has been confirmed, why don’t you wait here for us to eliminate it?”

Jiang Xi shook her head.

"Have you forgotten that I can treat and detect contamination?"

"I won't get too close. I'll stay in a position nearby where I can observe the battle situation and provide timely treatment if anything happens to you."

"If someone is found to be contaminated, we can promptly notify them."

Lu Liufeng sighed inwardly.

He knew that once the female master made a decision, nothing he said would matter.

He could only nod, then looked at Mu Ling and said seriously.

"Mu Ling, protect the female master and don't get too close. If an emergency occurs, take the female master away first."

Mu Ling transformed into an orc, donned animal skin clothing, and patted his chest to make a promise.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can get close to the female master."

Lu Liufeng didn't say anything more and flew directly into the sky.

The beastmen in the snow forest looked at each other, and Herb couldn't help but say something.

"Female Envoy, leave a few more orcs to protect you. Putting everything else aside, let Holen stay as well."

Jiang Xi shook her head.

"The situation is urgent, you should all go and help. If I really encounter danger here, Mu Ling will take me away. If Huo Lun stays, it will only put him in danger."

Hollen pursed his lips, his lion-like eyes slightly lowered.

He looked at the female master and finally nodded.

The beastmen set off, heading towards the source of the strange energy fluctuations.

Mu Ling scooped the female master up in his arms, took a step forward, and appeared in the snow-covered sky, leaving all the orcs far behind.

He shifted and moved several times, finally standing on a branch that extended from the top of a giant tree.

From this vantage point, one can see the battle unfolding in the valley not far away.

Jiang Xi looked over, then froze.

"That is..."

A pitch-black black hole?

One after another, menacing black beasts crawled out of the black hole and pounced on Yi Yuexi and the others at the entrance.

The black hole flickered slightly, seemingly still unstable, and the black beast crawled out slowly, so Yi Yuexi and the others could still work together to deal with it.

Perhaps sensing the presence of the female master, Yi Yuexi looked up at the giant tree not far behind her.

His gaze gradually moved upwards, finally settling on the branches of a high tree.

He paused for a moment when he saw the female master being held in Mu Ling's arms on the tree branch.

In the blink of an eye, a black behemoth pounced on his back.

"careful!!"

Jiang Xi gripped Mu Ling's hand tightly, almost screaming.

Yi Yuexi instinctively lunged forward, avoiding the attack of the cursed beast.

He rolled twice in the snow before standing up and couldn't help but curse.

"Isn't this thing supposed to only be outside the wall? How could it appear inside the wall?!"

Hong's expression was also very serious.

"The cursed beasts are resurrecting at an increasingly rapid pace. If this continues, we alone cannot hold out!"

Although the Cursed Lands have sent countless orcs to explore beyond the walls, they are aware of the existence of the Black Hole.

However, no one knows how to destroy black holes.

If the black hole is allowed to remain stable, this snow-covered forest may become a breeding ground for cursed beasts.

Lu Liufeng was the first to arrive.

As he unleashed his wind blade, he looked around and asked.

"Where is Bai En? He went to ask us for help and took Fu and the others away. Hasn't he arrived yet?"

As Yi Yuexi scattered icy blue snowflakes, her brows furrowed unconsciously.

"Bai En?"

“That kid was the first to be corrupted. We found this place by following his footsteps. Didn’t the female master notice that he was corrupted?”

Lu Liufeng's long eyes darkened.

"Bai En went to find the orcs when the female master was not around."

"Fu and the others are probably in grave danger."

Hong raised his voice slightly.

"We must find a way to destroy this black hole!"

"Judging from the attacks by the cursed beasts outside the wall, they will fade away after dawn."

"But we don't know if this black hole inside the wall will also stop reviving the cursed beast after dawn."

The remaining orcs arrived.

With the release of dazzling supernatural abilities, the pressure on Yi Yuexi and the others was greatly reduced in an instant.

Even as the cursed beasts emerged faster, they became more at ease, and had more time to observe and devise solutions.

Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the fighting had stopped.

Mu Ling held the female master, stood atop the snow-covered tree, and rubbed his chin against her animal-skin hat.

"The female master need not worry."

Jiang Xi looked up at him, about to say how could she not be worried, when her pupils contracted.

"careful!"

Mu Linglang's eyes narrowed, and with a single step, he vanished into the treetops.

He appeared in the air carrying the female, and when he turned his head, he saw a black bat with red eyes swooping down on the treetop where they had just been standing.

Jiang Xi's heart sank.

She didn't even notice...

Furthermore, even now, she still hasn't detected any polluting aura on the black bat.

But she could sense that something was wrong with this bat.

Mu Ling cursed and was about to go and deal with the bat when Jiang Xi quickly hugged him.

"Don't go! There's something wrong with these bats."

At that moment, several wind blades swung out, surrounding the bat.

Lu Liufeng, realizing that something had happened, flew up from the valley.

The bat let out a sharp, piercing cry, and just as it was about to break through the wind blades and fly away, its wings suddenly sank, and it could no longer move.
