"Alright." Xiao He didn't say much, calmly walked forward, touched the top of the stone with his hand, and instantly put it into the team's warehouse.
After doing all this, she turned and left.
"My lord, my lord!" Su Mei cried out from behind.
"Is there anything else?"
Xiao He paused, but didn't even bother to turn his face.
"Then, what should I do?" Su Mei almost burst into tears.
The sounds of horses' hooves and shouts outside the window were deafening.
She could feel all the killing intent directed at this room; she had nowhere to escape.
"Find a place to hide yourself," Xiao He said, then left without looking back.
"Ah..." Su Mei stood there, lost in thought, seemingly unable to come to her senses for a long time.
Meanwhile, after Xiao He placed the totem stone into the team's warehouse, Yang Xing began to study it.
[Yang Xing: Is this thing a totem stone?]
[Xiao He: Yes, it says on it that half of an ancient king's soul is sealed inside. See if you can break the seal.]
[Yang Xing: I just took a quick look, and the material and its age are quite remarkable. We don't have enough manpower right now, so we can't analyze it in a short time.]
[Xiao He: It's alright. Just put it in the warehouse for now. Don't take it outside carelessly; the Guli army can sense its presence.]
Yang Xing: Okay, I understand.
[Xiao He: The ancient king is not in the carriage, and we don't know where he is now. Everyone, be careful.]
[Horey: I'll stay here in the Hengduan Mountains. I might not be able to stop all of them, but I can hold off some elites.]
[Dai Lele: I'll guard the city wall.]
Yang Xing: Everyone, please be careful.
The only one who didn't speak was Wang Xuefeng.
He faced immense pressure from the very beginning, and now he has finally annihilated the ancient king's first vanguard.
"Beep!"
The system level prompt jumped again.
Level 100, maximum level.
Wang Xuefeng slumped wearily against the rock. In the past hour or so, he hadn't released a single fly.
Since the ancient king's carriage disappeared, the troops that came up next were only ordinary soldiers, so he was finally able to rest for a while.
The first thing to do is look at Xiao He's status bar. His health bar has turned gray, but there is still a percentage fluctuating up and down.
He connected to Xiao He's voice call.
"Hello……"
"How are things going on your end?"
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"I just reached the maximum level, so the pressure isn't as great anymore."
"That's good... If it really doesn't work, you can back down a bit. There's no need to push yourself to the limit."
"It's alright, we'll have more than enough time to hold out until reinforcements arrive." Wang Xuefeng paused, then added, "But you, whatever you do, don't go into the tunnel to fight."
“I’m guarding this city because the totem stone is gone, and the Guli army no longer values the lives of these descendants,” Xiao He explained.
"Yes... no matter what, you must put your own safety first," Wang Xuefeng repeatedly instructed.
"Yes, you too."
"Let's keep the call going."
"good."
Xiao He breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as he was alright, she had nothing to worry about.
Just as Xiao He changed back to his original appearance and drew his long sword at the city gate, Su Mei's voice rang out from behind him again.
"Xiao He?! What are you doing here?!"
"I'll come to help," the latter said shamelessly.
"Really?!" Su Mei was taken aback at first, then overjoyed: "Are the other people from the academy here too?!"
"No, only I am here," Xiao He replied calmly.
“Oh…” Su Mei lowered her head sadly.
Xiao He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil.
Because Su Mei also had system notifications about the Bluebird, although they were still faint and intermittent.
"What the hell?!"
"Could it be that Bluebird deliberately exposed herself just now? Did she see me coming all along and deliberately try to attract my attention?"
"But she still confused me with Sammy Ketchum? So she must be very confused right now..."
"So, is she coming to me now to verify something?" Xiao He wondered to himself.
Su Mei, unaware of her thoughts, volunteered to go to her side and said, "I'll help too!"
Xiao He raised an eyebrow, pretending to know nothing, and asked, "Are you from this city?"
"Yes," Su Mei answered obediently.
"It's up to you. Help if you want." Xiao He didn't object and was even happy to take the opportunity to see her performance.
Su Mei was completely unaware that, perhaps only to save her own life, she had no choice but to stand with Xiao He.
Like everyone possessed by the Bluebird, she had no idea she had a "second personality"...
-
"Boom!!"
The terrifying storm finally swept over the city of Nuojin.
Lucadi, carrying the dazed Valerie, flew out of the abyss on his greatsword.
He looked at the changes beneath his feet with disbelief; this was not the Nuojin Continent he knew at all.
Looking back, the terrifying dark clouds were still gradually moving away.
The attacks on Nuojin City and Yanluo Military City occurred around the same time, yet the Suniga Passage was the largest passage on the entire continent.
Unlike him, Tyr, the water god who had just escaped a calamity, looked at the familiar sky and was filled with emotion.
She wanted to go and support Xiao He, but he told her to stay where she was to protect the people near the Zuniga Pass.
She was not without experience regarding the alternation of the sun and moon; on the contrary, she was extremely familiar with it.
