Chapter 10: Battle of Boiling Blood Below Zero (Part 1)
Beichen was woken up just after falling asleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiang Ying's sword held in Heihuo's arms, and a treatment result report that could be said to be good news, but also bad news.
"Really? ...At least he's still alive. As long as he's alive, there's a chance."
She slowly took Xiangying from Heihuai's hand, held his sword in her arms, sighed softly, and wanted to ask some detailed questions, but found that Yagad was gone.
"Strange, where are the Yagads?"
"He just left Xiang Ying behind and ran away, as if something serious was pressing on his mind, or perhaps he felt guilty for not fully curing Xiang Ying and was afraid to face you?"
Su Jie curled his lips and shrugged.
"Is that so..."
Although she really wanted to ask if there was any way to wake Xiang Ying, she thought that given Yagad's personality, if there was any way, he would have told her long ago. Using the star power to detect, she found that the star power in Xiang Ying's body was sufficient and stable, so his life should be safe. Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After being woken up, all her sleepiness disappeared immediately. She no longer wanted to sleep and changed into her combat uniform again.
Furthermore, Xiang Ying's return also gave her a sense of excitement. She touched the intact contract mark on her head and felt energy surge through her limbs. Perhaps if she took him hunting for a while, he would wake up after he advanced?!
"Well, it's a rare moonquake night, and it would be a shame to sleep through it. How about we go hunting? Anyone interested in joining?"
"Then we—"
Roar!
Heihuo and Sujie raised their hands, but before they could finish their words, a loud roar came from the direction of the distant suburbs, which shocked everyone and made them look serious.
"Hey!! What are you doing?!"
"Woo────! Are you crazy? Don't you want to see who I am?!"
Then, there was a chaotic and noisy sound of shouting and cursing coming from next door. Beichen immediately recalled the situation on the night of the previous moonquake: instigated by the roar of the golden giant beast, the weapons lost their subjective judgment and launched an attack on their master - she immediately looked at the people around her nervously.
"Everyone, are you okay?!"
"It's okay, it's just that the blood in my body is boiling, but my rationality is still there."
Xifeng remained calm, seemingly not greatly affected. Gemini and Lingshuang also frowned slightly, looking a little uncomfortable but not overly shaken. However, there was a flash of instability in Xiaoping's expression, which was noticed by Atlas on the side. A white light immediately shot into his body, and Xiaoping blinked violently and came back to his senses.
Gu Yinyue was silent for a while, looking unhappy.
"Longyun lost control for a few seconds. A woman was seriously injured. Naraka is treating her. Should we go to the scene?"
"go!"
Beichen nodded sternly.
"I have a hunch that this thing has a lot to do with the Red Moon Priestess. I'd better get more useful information this time."
"Okay, let's go. Give my war machines some time to deal with the accident. I'll summon them when we get to the scene."
"Um!!"
Leaving Ling Shuang to take care of Xiao Ping, who was in an unstable condition, the group rushed to the direction where the giant beast was roaring - the northern mountains. However, because the distance was quite far, when Beichen and the others arrived, the huge monster with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a tiger or leopard had been beaten unconscious by the warriors who arrived earlier.
—It’s Agard and Galina.
Xifeng and the others split up halfway to find a commanding height to ambush. When Heihuo and Sujie transformed into weapons, Yagad swung the silver-white long-handled axe in his hand and hit the arm wrapped in metal skin heavily. The monster leaned back and stood up with a scream. Then, it jumped suddenly with red eyes, and several huge fireballs came out of its mouth and fell down with a roar!
Yagard jumped back a few steps to avoid the fireball. The place where he was standing had been blasted into a concave piece of scorched earth. At the same time, another figure shuttled through the sea of fire like lightning and then jumped high. The golden photon blade in his hand pressed horizontally to draw a long straight line with a phantom, and made a domineering horizontal slash in mid-air!
Well done, Carina!
Beichen entered the assassin form of Black Disaster, secretly cheering for Karina's frontal attack, while hiding his body and touching the side and back of the giant beast. On the other side, Karina held the Blood-Closing Knife Luo Hou and the blade flashed violently. With the cooperation of Yagard's frontal attack, the giant beast was beaten back repeatedly - but this one was obviously stronger than the previous fish-shaped one. Even though the attack was so fierce, it still resisted stubbornly, waving its giant arms repeatedly and shooting fireballs from its mouth.
Finally, a good raiding spot was found on a nearby mound, and Beichen slowly raised the grappling hook in his hand.
"Zefeng, shoot!"
The next second after the secret signal was given through the mind communication channel, a white light immediately rushed out from the commanding heights in the distance and exploded at the shoulder of the giant beast. The metal skin immediately cracked and twisted in a strange state as if it was hit by high temperature, and golden blood spurted out. At the moment when the giant beast roared in pain, Beichen's figure shot out like lightning, swooping down from the sky like a hunting hawk and swooping down on the back of the giant beast, and his black claws buried deeply in the gap that Xifeng had just exploded!
Awooo──
The giant beast howled again, but the west wind in the distance did not give it a chance to struggle. White lights chased it one after another, blasting its metal armor into pieces - with the west wind leading the way, Beichen immediately swung his claws to pry off several pieces of metal shells, until the bloody flesh on its neck was exposed to the air.
"Agard! Her Highness Carina!"
Beichen shouted, and the axe-wielding knight and the longsword-wielding female warrior leaped simultaneously, their weapons raised high. Simultaneously, Beichen, in perfect unison, rolled backwards and slid off the beast's body. The next second, the axe cleaved the giant's neck from the left, and the longsword severed the right side of the neck. The massive head, more than half a man's height, was chopped off and sent flying backwards with immense force!
Boom! !
There was a loud muffled sound when the head hit the ground, and the light of the half-condensed golden star spirit cannon in the half-open mouth dimmed weakly. After a few seconds, the body, which had lost the command of the head, twitched a few times and fell to the ground with a bang.
The three Lingwu Si landed one after another, staring at the giant beast for a few seconds, and only turned their eyes to each other after confirming that the other party was dead.
"Huh, looks like it's resolved. But Latia's defense knights are really slow." Carina released Rahou, and he instantly transformed back into the tall man he'd once been. He stood silently behind her, staring at the flickering spirit crystal light at the foot of the mountain. Most likely knights who had heard the noise and rushed over.
"Rather, we're just faster. If every knight in Latia had our skills, then why would we even have a martial arts tournament?"
Su Jie and Hei Huo also turned back into human form, kicking the huge corpse while teasing.
"Ahahaha, that's right."
Karina smiled and nodded, then took a few steps closer to Beichen and observed her expression.
"You look much better... so good. I've always owed you a face-to-face apology. I'm sorry, Yaxiu."
"Don't blame yourself. After all, it wasn't Princess Carina's fault."
Beichen smiled as he looked at Jialina, whose cheek was stained with blood, and shook his head gently. This was the second time he'd seen her in combat, and he had to admit, she was absolutely stunning. Strong and decisive, yet possessing a certain feminine resilience. Unlike Lingdi's demonic beauty, the way she wielded that golden photon blade was both primitive and elf-like, a sight that even Beichen, a woman, found mesmerized.
Noticing Beichen's gaze, Luo Hou behind Jialina saw the golden blood drops on his master's cheek, and immediately reached out to gently wipe away the blood stains.
Carina blushed slightly and glared at Luo Hou, but Beichen didn't see due to the darkness. Seeing the voices approaching from the foot of the mountain, Yagad this time simply placed the behemoth's head into the storage space of the great axe behind him, and then signaled Beichen to leave with his eyes. Carina, beside him, also understood his look, and the group immediately reached a silent consensus, quickly leaving the mess before the knights arrived.
In order to avoid the huge amount of spiritual crystal light, the group took a detour, planning to go around half of the mountain range and enter the city from another gate. Halfway through the journey, Jialina suddenly pulled Beichen's sleeve:
"Ms. Yashu, ...that knight...I always feel that he looks familiar. Are you sure that Yagad is not a pseudonym?"
Yagard looked back at Karina, nodded as if to say hello, and said nothing - he usually did this when there were outsiders around.
Beichen also laughed dryly a few times, not knowing whether he should tell the truth - although she knew that it was impossible for Jialina to interfere in the private affairs of Heyang in her position, but the fact that he was the corrupt official Darim was a bit too shocking, and she didn't know how much trouble it would cause her.
While Karina was still trying to recall the past, Luo Hou leaned over and whispered in her ear:
"Darim."
"ah!!"
Karina immediately clapped her hands in sudden realization:
"Oh, yes! He came to Sazam and seemed to have discussed something with the king—"
"Weapon trading."
Galina nodded - although it was several years ago, when she was not yet a queen but just a small knight protecting the country, she still had an impression of Agard because of his tall stature and undoubted warrior temperament, which was far from the rumors about him among the people.
Thinking of this, Karina looked at Beichen with a strange look.
Darim is clearly a powerful villain, yet why is he now following Miss Yashu with such a submissive demeanor? His expression of loyalty rivals that of a male favorite—ahem—or a servant. Could it be that Yashu is so powerful that she can even conquer such a controversial man? As expected of the Speedy Killing White Shadow, his charm is boundless—
Karina was clearly lost in her own boundless daydreams, her mind churning out a long, melodramatic drama: "The villain falls in love with a mysterious girl, reforms, but is rejected, leading to a protracted, endlessly tormented love affair." Luo Hou, standing nearby, had clearly noticed the strange admiration in her gaze toward Beichen and tapped her shoulder, wanting to pour cold water on her.
But before Luo Hou could say anything, his golden pupils suddenly shrank, and he hugged Jialina tightly and threw himself into the shade of a tree. At the same time, Xifeng's anxious shouting came from Beichen's telepathic communication channel:
"Get down!"
Boom!!
Almost in the next second, a huge hole was created behind the place where everyone was lying down by the Protoss cannon with a diameter of one meter.
What was even stranger was that on the night of the moonquake, the color of the Protoss cannon was blue-purple - which meant that it was not a Protoss cannon fired by that strange weapon-like behemoth.
One meter in diameter, the possessed Moon Envoys we've seen so far, even the Calamity Emperor's Star Spirit Cannon is only about the thickness of a washbasin. Yet, on this night when the power of war weapons has doubled, a possessed Moon Envoy actually appeared so brazenly before people—with a Star Spirit Cannon attack of this magnitude?!
Everyone looked up in the aftershocks of the attack and saw a figure standing on the top of a tall tree that looked like a cedar tree in the distance.
The silver-blue hair that reached her ankles fluttered in the night wind.
The beautiful body curves, slender, strong, and perfect to the point of being artificial, outlined a strange and soul-stirring ghostly silhouette under the dim light of the sky.
On both sides of the head are a pair of huge horns that curve forward in reverse, and behind it is a pair of complex wing skeletons, covered with wing membranes formed by star power, which flow slowly and emit dots of fluorescence.
The face couldn't be seen clearly, but a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed in the night, locking onto the people below like a ferocious beast.
Another humanoid possesses the Moon Envoy!!
Atlas, who had been silent beside Beichen, suddenly paused, and slowly took off his disguise and released his murderous intent in front of the shocked expressions of Karina and Luo Hou. Beichen immediately understood that this time when he encountered the possessed Moon Messenger, he might not be as lucky as he was last time when facing Atlas.
Awooo--awooo--awooo--
Suddenly, the possessed Moon Envoy on the opposite side let out a wolf-like howl, loud and piercing, but with a hint of desolation.
After a few seconds, the ground around them began to shake and rumble, as if some giant beast was approaching from all directions. Beichen and his companions cautiously moved back to back, and then after more than ten seconds, all of their faces turned ugly.
They were surrounded by dozens of monsters, large and small, of the same type as the behemoth they had just defeated—monsters with weapon-like physiques.
The monsters howled in unison, their voices rumbling across the earth. At the same time, a commotion erupted from the direction of the capital city. Faint cries and screams could be heard, and flames shot up into the sky from one corner.
Beichen was worried: If this continues, what kind of situation will the warriors end up in? !
Awooo────
The possessed Moon Envoy on the opposite side roared once more, as if to encourage him. Then, the Star Spirit Wings on his back suddenly spread open, pressing downwards, and using the air current to swoop down towards Beichen and his group!
"Black disaster! Su Jie!"
He immediately summoned the twin weapons and armed himself with them. The fast-killing white shadow stared at the direction where the opponent was rushing towards him, lowered his body and prepared to fight.
Beichen's toughest battle in Senagad has begun.
