Gu Mingyue felt a huge force pushing against her back, and a sudden wave of fear washed over her.
After she stepped onto the sixth-floor stairs, she quickly turned around and looked back: "Xinghe!"
A long dragon composed of countless one-eyed skeletal arms surrounded the Milky Way, gradually blocking the entrance on the sixth floor completely.
The situation inside was completely obscured; even the golden mask couldn't hide Gu Mingyue's anxious expression.
However, she knew that she couldn't panic in the most critical moment. She tried her best to calm down and absorbed all the remaining gold crystal cores in her hand.
The white light in Gu Mingyue's pupils gradually covered her entire eyeballs, and the mental current almost took on a substantial form, passing through layers of dense golden arms to see the man fighting tenaciously in the center.
Xinghe moved like lightning, and with his precise calculations, he hadn't yet been touched by the monsters' arms.
Meanwhile, the corpses of the monsters the two had fought their way through were piled up around him, barely serving as walls. There were also the soda cans and beer bottles that Gu Mingyue had created after the apocalypse, which Xinghe threw out to confuse the monsters.
Gu Mingyue smiled with satisfaction. As expected of Xinghe, he could now take on those strange hands by himself without any problem.
She took out a bomb mixed with meteorite fragments, intending to blast a path to help him out.
Just as a bomb was thrown, it was blocked by a golden wall that suddenly appeared.
The sound of the bombs exploding after being blocked by the golden wall distracted Xinghe, who was engrossed in the battle, and he was almost ambushed by a giant dragon with a monstrous hand and had his left leg dislocated.
His dark, bright eyes grew even more profound. He had to deal with these troublesome monsters quickly; he couldn't let his master fight the Lord of the Dark Domain alone on the sixth floor.
At the top of the building, Gu Mingyue saw the bomb bounce back from the golden wall. She bent down and did three forward rolls to the left to avoid the bomb attack.
Then he quickly stopped, turned around, and looked at the center of the tower.
A beautiful young girl sat cross-legged on a golden throne inlaid with various precious gems.
Its pupils and hair are golden, and its skin is as white as snow, or even more like the purest white paint, which contrasts sharply with its lips that are as red as blood.
This beautiful girl was actually a monster with only an upper body; her lower body was composed of sections of human torso covered in gold, coiled like snakes, with her tail connected to her golden throne in a twisted and contorted manner.
"Hey girl, do you want to save your lover? If you beg me, I'll make the little hands let him go~"
The girl's eyes revealed an innocent expression unique to humans, as the golden gem on her forehead shone even brighter.
The girl's expression was adorable, like a harmless little angel, but Gu Mingyue didn't sense any kindness from her. Instead, she saw more golden walls attacking her from all directions.
Every wall seemed poised to crush her, with sharp, golden needles piercing through it all.
Gu Mingyue dodged desperately, and soon a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
In contrast, the girl on the golden throne looked relaxed and at ease. With a light flick of her fingers, countless spikes and arms appeared continuously, as if she were manipulating a cat toy to tease two kittens that had just turned one month old.
"You guys are amazing! You actually lasted for an hour in my hands. You're much better than those useless foods. I don't even want to eat you."
A naive yet bloodthirsty smile played on its lips: "Why don't I assimilate you all and turn you into my golden knights to play with me every day?"
"Which should I assimilate first?" She tapped her chubby chin lightly with her pink fingers, seemingly quite conflicted.
At this moment, the golden mask on Gu Mingyue's face blocked several golden needles that were flying around in the air, and then several huge cracks appeared.
Gu Mingyue immediately removed her mask and threw it away, blocking some of the golden needles. Panting heavily, she held up her shield and tried her best to block, her eyes fixed on the girl on the golden throne.
Trying to control his steps, he gradually approached the golden throne.
When the girl monster saw Gu Mingyue throw off her mask, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, she immediately smiled like a girl who had just bought a pretty doll.
"You're so pretty, I like you so much, I'll assimilate to you first!"
The gold floor tiles on the sixth floor were originally extremely smooth, without any pattern.
As soon as the girl on the throne finished speaking, red lines, which only appear when a monster is injured, began to emerge on the floor tiles.
They surged out from under Gu Mingyue's feet, and Gu Mingyue intended to throw things from her spatial storage to use as stepping stones.
However, those red lines were made of monster blood, which could penetrate clothing, slip through tiny gaps, and continue to spread upwards.
Countless red lines surrounded Gu Mingyue, making it almost impossible to avoid. Gu Mingyue knew how dangerous these red lines were; once they burrowed into her skin, she would no longer be human.
Seeing the bright red lines of blood touching her shoes, Gu Mingyue felt a chill run down her spine. She desperately wanted to hide in the space, but the Black Domain was a distorted space, and she couldn't enter it at all.
Just as the bright red blood was about to seep through the socks and into Gu Mingyue's ankle, a violent spatial explosion sound came from the golden wall that had been blocking the sixth floor.
Xinghe's originally handsome face was now tinged with a murderous aura that Gu Mingyue had never seen before. The strange, long dragon of hands outside had been completely shredded into mincemeat by his spatial blade.
He rushed in with an odd posture, his eyes shining with a strange light, and activated the spatial shield to safely enclose Gu Mingyue inside.
Then he quickly ran to her side, and only when he saw that she was unharmed did the frost in his eyes melt away like spring rain.
When Gu Mingyue saw that he had come out safely, she smiled happily and reached out to touch him, but Xinghe dodged her hand.
Only then did Gu Mingyue notice the abnormality on Xinghe's body. His joints, including his neck, were wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, and various metal hooks on the bandages were used to fix his limbs and head to his torso.
Gu Mingyue's nose tingled, and her outstretched hand trembled. She gently touched Xinghe's hand and realized that his fingers were trying hard to hold hers.
It took them two minutes to finally clasp each other's fingers tightly.
"Master, this hand... I'm not controlling it well enough with my spatial abilities yet."
Xinghe lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the deep sadness in her eyes, but secretly exerted a little force on the space between their hands, making their interlocked fingers hold on even tighter.
Although he couldn't feel the warmth of Gu Mingyue's hand, he was happy as long as he saw his master was safe and sound.
"Does it hurt?" Gu Mingyue raised her right hand and gently touched the blood-stained metal hook at his joint. Her fingers were about to touch his neck when she finally trembled and dared not go any further.
