Chapter 146: Huai Jun awakened his second superpower?!

Sheng Ran shook her head frantically, able to utter some incoherent syllables but unable to speak.

The three words "I won't run" were stuck on my lips.

I have made a lot of progress in the past few days, so why did this happen again?

The system's voice popped up, [Host, don't be impatient, speak slowly! ]

Sheng Ran collapsed. [How can I not be anxious in this situation?]

Please help me think of a solution!

Her eyes were red as she looked at the wound on Huaijun's back, her heart feeling as if it were being gripped by an ice-cold hand.

The wound torn by the miasma beast's claws was so deep that the bone was visible, and green venom was spreading along the flesh and blood towards the heart.

Wherever he passed, the skin turned a strange blue-black color.

——Huai Jun!

She screamed in her heart, her whole body tense with emotions.

The system did not respond for a while, and Sheng Ran could only try to mobilize the weak ability in her body to help Huai Jun force out the poison.

But soon, another miasma beast swung its tail violently, sweeping towards Huai Jun's face with a fishy wind.

Huai Jun subconsciously turned his head to dodge, and the tail brushed past his ear, leaving a string of blood beads.

He groaned, and suddenly a piercing pain came from the wound on his left arm.

Only then did he realize that the blood hole that had been corroded by the venom had begun to fester.

Black lines wrapped around his neck like vines, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Wife, step back!" He gritted his teeth and gathered the last bit of water-based power in his right hand.

The light blue water film swirled in his palm, but it was as thin as a layer of paper.

He knew that this little bit of strength was not enough to stop the miasma beast's attack, so he could only push the water film towards Sheng Ran, forming a fragile barrier.

"Don't get close! The venom of these mutant beasts will follow the scent..."

Before he finished speaking, the miasma beast on the far left suddenly leaped up, and its sharp claws filled with venom rushed straight towards the water film.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the water film shattered and the venom splashed onto the grass at Sheng Ran's feet, instantly burning a small dark brown pit.

Sheng Ran was so frightened that her whole body froze, and she watched the miasma beast open its bloody mouth. The venom from its fangs dripped onto her dress, burning several small holes.

At this critical moment, Huai Jun suddenly pounced over and used his back to block the sharp claws of the miasma beast!

"puff--"

The claws dug deep into his shoulder blades, and the green venom instantly soaked through his clothes.

The wound on Huaijun's back kept bleeding. Although he was shaking in pain, he still stood in front of her, holding the claws of the miasma beast tightly to prevent it from moving forward even half a step.

His vision was beginning to blur, his ears were buzzing, and he could only see Sheng Ran's terrified face.

"Let's go..." He roared with his last bit of strength, a sweet and fishy taste rising in his throat, "If you don't leave now...it's too late..."

Seeing this, the three miasma beasts surrounded them even more ferociously.

They seemed to see that Huai Jun was at the end of his strength, and began to slow down their attack. Instead, they stared at Sheng Ran greedily with their green eyes, as if admiring the prey's final struggle.

Sheng Ran watched Huai Jun fall to the ground, his body twitching violently due to the venom, and tears almost burst out.

She suddenly squatted beside him and picked up Huaijun with difficulty.

He would do his best to protect her, and she would never let anything happen to Huaijun.

Recalling her previous experience of controlling vines, Sheng Ran mobilized all her abilities, trying to control the plants around her to obey her.

But the miasma in this misty forest was too heavy, and all the abilities she had before seemed to be ineffective.

Watching those miasma beasts approaching little by little, cold sweat soaked Sheng Ran's clothes.

She tried to pull up Huaijun who had fallen into a coma. If they had to leave, they should leave together. She couldn't leave him alone!

But before she could exert any effort, Huaijun lying on the ground suddenly moved -

After collapsing completely powerless, Huai Jun's consciousness sank into darkness. The severe pain from the venom and the exhaustion of strength almost made him lose consciousness.

But Sheng Ran's crying kept echoing in his ears. The sound was like a blunt knife, cutting his heart repeatedly.

He wants to protect his wife's safety...

This thought suddenly exploded in his mind like a spark.

Immediately afterwards, an unfamiliar heat current rose from the dantian and rushed straight to the throat along the blood vessels.

It was not the coolness of the water-based ability, but a warmth with a certain tremor.

Like the cry of a whale that has been sleeping in the deep sea for thousands of years, it finally found a resonant frequency.

He opened his mouth unconsciously, and a few vague syllables escaped from between his lips and teeth.

The voice was very low, like a whispered spell, with a strange rhythm, and it spread out circles of light blue ripples in the humid air.

The first to suffer was the miasma beast that grabbed his shoulder.

It suddenly let out a shrill cry, loosened its claws abruptly, and rolled wildly on the ground holding its head.

The green eyes were bloodshot, as if enduring extreme pain, and fine beads of blood oozed from under the hard scales.

The sound waves coming from somewhere shattered its inner ears.

Sheng Ran's eyes widened in shock.

This is--

Second superpower?

Huaijun awakened his second superpower?!

She looked at Huaijun lying on the ground, his lips still moving slightly, and those low syllables continuously flowing out of his mouth.

Just as the second miasma beast was about to pounce, it was hit by the sound wave. In an instant, it seemed as if all its bones were pulled out. It collapsed to the ground and twitched, making a hoarse whine in its throat.

Seeing this, the last miasma beast turned around and tried to escape, but Huai Jun turned his head and locked onto it with his eyes, which were covered with white mist.

A few clearer syllables sounded, and this time the sound waves were sharp, like an invisible knife, hitting the miasma beast's head accurately.

With a "bang", the huge body of the miasma beast fell straight to the ground, its green eyes lost their luster, and black blood oozed from its seven orifices.

In the distance, the miasma beasts lurking in the misty forest seemed to feel the power of the sound waves.

Wailing cries came from the mountains one after another, and dark shadows in the depths of the forest collapsed to the ground one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the fog dissipated and the air seemed to be purified, becoming clean and fresh.

The surroundings became quiet, leaving only Huai Jun's faint breathing and the gradually dissipating light blue ripples.

Sheng Ran froze in place, and it took her a long time to react.

She stumbled to Huai Jun's side, and with trembling fingers she touched his nose to feel his breath. Fortunately, he was still breathing.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, and she tried to calm herself down and regain the ability to speak.

"Huai, Huaijun..." After taking a deep breath, Sheng Ran was finally able to call out Huaijun's name, with incredible ecstasy in her tone.

The following expression was a bit difficult. Sheng Ran babbled incoherent sentences and gestured to Huai Jun.

She really wanted to tell Huaijun that he had awakened his second superpower!

"...My dear wife, don't be anxious." Huai Jun opened his eyes with difficulty. In his blurred vision, he could only see Sheng Ran's eyes that were as bright as stars.

He wanted to smile, but only a faint curve could form at the corners of his mouth.

Those low syllables were still overflowing unconsciously, but seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, forming a safe circle between him and Sheng Ran, without affecting them at all.

"It's a sound-related ability." Huai Jun recalled the experience just now and found it amazing. "It seems that my merman talent was stimulated in a critical situation."

He whispered, and gently touched her cheek with his fingertips, "Look... I can protect you..."

After hearing this, Sheng Ran paused and cried even harder, but with burning joy.

This stupid mermaid—

At this time, I was still thinking about protecting her!
