Mu Li smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "This damn place is too cold. Why did Elder Suma build a place like this? Brother Hui, do you have any idea how to go up there? Maybe it will be warmer there."
The man in brown took out a copper ball from his arms. As the copper ball grew bigger, wings like cicada wings extended from both sides and it flew up like a bug. The man in black jumped onto the copper ball and motioned Muli to jump on as well.
After Muli ascended, the copper ball descended at a visible speed, its flapping frequency slowing considerably, as if it were running low on power. The brown-clothed man patted the copper ball and channeled a bit of Qi into it, finally propelling it upwards, carrying two people—no, actually, four people—on its back.
Mingluo and Ye Zhihan could only stay in Muli's shadow, so their vision was limited. They could only see Muli standing on the copper ball and shivering in the cold wind, and part of the view from above.
Perhaps because it was carrying too many people, the copper ball flew very slowly. Mingluo was bored and planned to stay aside and rest his eyes.
Seeing Mingluo feeling sleepy, Ye Zhihan wanted to sit down and motion for her to lean on him, but Mingluo kept urging him to apply medicine and heal his wounds, not giving him any chance at all.
In reality, Mingluo didn't know that the healing grass Jiaomo had given Ye Zhihan was already a top-grade immortal herb. With its help, Ye Zhihan's internal injuries had already largely healed. So, if he applied some external medicine, he'd probably be back to full health in a few days.
The recent adventure was so tiring that Mingluo fell into a deep sleep just after closing her eyes for a while. The fluffy golden lion appeared in her dream again, wagging its big ears and running towards Mingluo, whining and nudging Mingluo with its huge head, as if it was disgusted that she did not play with it.
As it arched, Mingluo felt that her whole body was swinging around with the golden lion, and she even had a feeling of weightlessness. Mingluo thought happily while dreaming that she was already 21 years old, and she didn't expect that after she became an adult, she could still dream of growing taller.
Mingluo was suddenly awakened by the feeling of weightlessness. It turned out that the shadow space in reality was really shaking. Ye Zhihan half-hugged her with a worried expression of protecting his cub.
"What happened?" Ming Luo asked in panic. She was just taking a short nap, so why did an earthquake happen?
"Don't worry, it's Mu Li and the other guy fighting with another contestant." Ye Zhihan said in a low voice.
"Ah???" Ming Luo looked out in panic, only to see Muli holding on to the copper ball tightly with his hands. It seemed that he had fallen down just now. Not far away in the air, a young man with horns and wings was attacking Muli.
"What kind of...species is this?" Ming Luo asked blankly. Why did the young man outside feel like a little dragon man?
"The Ling family dragon clan is one of the six major families." Ye Zhihan said lightly.
OK, it really is a little dragon man.
Ming Luo was always paying attention to the battle situation outside. No matter how brave and good at fighting the little dragon man was, it would be difficult for him to fight two people alone.
Muli summoned his magic weapon, and a vast net gleaming with lightning descended from the sky. The man in brown seized the opportunity to attack, using a spell to pin the dragon man in mid-air. With their combined power, the dragon man plummeted like a bird with a broken wing.
After the crisis was resolved, Muli struggled to climb onto the copper ball and continued to fly upwards with the man in brown. Because the copper ball had been attacked by the little dragon, it was extremely difficult for it to fly. It could only fly a few meters high after flapping its wings for a long time.
Ming Luo couldn't help but think that if she could fly, she would definitely get some safe and reliable equipment so that she wouldn't fly while standing on the ball, which was unstable and unsafe, and also looked silly.
Although the rest of the flight went smoothly, Mingluo no longer dared to sleep. She and Ye Zhihan watched helplessly as Muli and the man in brown slowly arrived at the last floating island above the clouds.
But surprisingly, it didn't get much warmer here, and it was still a bleak scene with heavy snow.
After Mu Li and the other man landed, Ye Zhihan immediately controlled the shadow to move away from them, and then the shadow space followed the shadow to hide in the darkness of the corner. It seemed that he didn't want to stay in Mu Li's shadow for a moment longer.
"These two people are teaming up to harm you. What should we do?" Ming Luo reminded quietly, his tone full of worry.
"I know." A murderous look appeared in Ye Zhihan's eyes.
"Then what are you going to do? Are we going to run away?" Ming Luo asked worriedly.
"Strike first, and you'll gain the upper hand!" Ye Zhihan rushed out from the shadows as soon as he finished speaking. He flew around behind Mu Li, his hands transformed into shadow claws, and pierced Mu Li's body with one strike. Since he hadn't recovered yet, he wanted to kill as many as he could.
Mingluo hid in the shadows and watched with a stomachache. As expected, she still wanted to be a Buddhist fairy instead of facing the bloody scenes of fighting and killing every day.
After dealing with one, Ye Zhihan immediately turned around to deal with the other man in brown.
"Hahahaha, I knew you would never sit still and wait for death." The man in brown laughed unpleasantly, his tone extremely arrogant.
Ye Zhihan didn't say much during the fight. While the man in brown was laughing, he turned into a phantom and swung the shadow blade straight at his vital point.
The shadow blade hit the man in brown, but it did not have any attack effect. Instead, all kinds of blue and white ancient spell characters appeared around the man in brown. The characters seemed to be alive and flowed towards him along Ye Zhihan's shadow blade.
The man in brown was named Hui Jianzhi, from one of the six great families known as the Family of Talismans. Their foremost skill was harnessing the power of ancient talismans to cast spells. This ability, acquired by their ancestors in an ancient temple, was incredibly powerful, and it had helped the Hui family rapidly grow from a small, unknown clan to one of the six great powers of the Suma Continent.
What's even more terrifying is that these talisman characters have their own lives. They obey the caster and have more considerable combat capabilities. So after some talismans were hit by Ye Zhihan's shadow blade, they followed the shadow blade to Ye Zhihan and continued to tug at him.
When Huijianzhi saw Ye Zhihan being embarrassed by his own talisman characters, he laughed again.
Mingluo really didn't know what was so funny. This guy's sense of humour might be poisonous.
To shake off the intrusion of the words, Ye Zhihan launched a wave of inky shadows behind him, washing away the annoying spells. Surprisingly, one of the words followed Ye Zhihan's shadow into the shadow space, gently passing through the loose clothes and attaching to Ming Luo's calf.
People from the talisman family are so difficult to deal with. In close combat, they will be affected by the talisman text, and in long-range combat, they cannot be hurt at all.
Just as Ye Zhihan was rapidly traveling through the shadow prison, Mu Li suddenly endured the pain and activated his magic weapon to summon a giant net shining with silver light above Ye Zhihan's head!
Mu Li held his stomach, his eyes full of sinister intent. He stared at Ye Zhihan and said, "You used the Shadow Prison to trick me once, don't even think about using it a second time in front of me."
After saying that, Mu Li fainted due to consuming too much true energy.
