"No, I can definitely get you away." The light around the woman grew dimmer, and Lu Qingchen seemed to sense something, shouting, "Quickly, come back!"
He ran like the wind, and just as he was about to reach the woman, he saw that not a single ray of light was shining through the window.
When Lu Qingchen landed, he saw the woman wrapped in golden silk threads by the window, turning into a golden cocoon, and slowly dragged to the windowside to blend into the entire golden wall.
The light in the golden tower grew dimmer, and the fire-elemental ability user lit a fireball to illuminate it.
Xinghe took out a flashlight from her spatial storage. This time, no one continued to criticize Gu Mingyue. Everyone was unusually quiet and followed behind Gu Mingyue, looking at Xiao Wen who was running down the street in a madman.
When the group reached the third floor, they heard countless cries for mercy coming from the floors below, along with the slurping sound of flesh being pierced by metal knives.
"Fang Kai and Wu Qian are on the second floor. Could the monster be attacking them?" Lu Qingchen's beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
"Put out the flashlight and fireball, I'll go check first." After Gu Mingyue finished speaking, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and silently approached Xinghe.
Lu Qingchen was not at ease letting them go. He was determined to get the gold crystal source, so he ran downstairs like the wind.
On the second floor, Wu Qian led Fang Kai and the others to the second floor of the Golden Tower where 'food' was stored. She still remembered that her purpose in entering the Black Domain this time was to rescue Zou Shaoyun's younger brother and exchange him for the members of the Triumph Team who had been captured.
However, when they arrived, they discovered that this was a monster's slaughterhouse, where every human was naked and tightly bound by golden threads on the walls.
Those golden threads burrowed into their flesh from the openings in their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, navel, and so on. Many of them were shaped like golden silkworm cocoons, with only a rough human outline visible.
Wu Qian found Zou Shaoyun's younger brother, melted a portion of the silk thread with fire, cut it, and handed it to Fang Kai.
"Brother Fang, take him back and exchange him for your companion!"
Fang Kai took the man, who was almost tortured to death, and was about to leave when he glanced at Wu Qian and asked, "What about you?"
“Brother Fang, I am a completely bad person. These people were all lured here by me. I will never leave the Black Domain again. I will stay here to atone for my sins.”
Zheng Chunjia glared at Wu Qian. This woman had been deceiving them for a long time. Fortunately, she was exposed today, otherwise she would have harmed the team and their Triumph Team sooner or later!
She pulled Fang Kai aside, just as they were about to leave.
A clear, bright girl's voice came from within the dull walls: "Mommy, don't you love me anymore? Why did you let my 'food' go?"
Fang Kai felt a sharp blade slash past his ear, and Zheng Chunjia rushed over, shouting, to protect him.
Blood gushed from his neck, and he saw Zheng Chunjia, her eyes bloodshot, clutching his bleeding neck.
Afterwards, the entire second floor seemed to be soaked in blood, with corpse parts everywhere, and the 'food' that was locked with golden threads was all torn into pieces.
The Lord of the Dark Domain, with his full head of golden curly hair, emerged from the wall, absorbing the energy from the supply crystals with a contented expression, and then slowly opened his pure golden eyes.
"Mom, even if you kill the rest of them, I'll still love you just the same as before~"
"No, no, no, Lingling, Mommy begs you to let them go!"
Wu Qian knelt down and begged it while crying.
The Lord of the Black Domain sensed that Gu Mingyue and her companion were approaching. A resolute glint flashed in his golden eyes as he opened his blood-red maw and lunged at Fang Kai and his companion.
But Wu Qian stopped him. The Lord of the Black Domain hesitated only slightly before his golden claw pierced her chest. Then, red blood lines enveloped the two of them and slowly merged.
When Gu Mingyue arrived on the second floor, in the dim light, she saw Wu Qian holding the seriously injured Fang Kai, her eyes filled with sorrow, sitting amidst the pieces of flesh scattered on the floor.
"Sister Wu, did you and Brother Fang encounter the Lord of the Dark Domain?" Gu Mingyue looked at Wu Qian and her companion with a cold gaze.
"Waaah, I never imagined the Lord of the Dark Domain was so powerful. It killed everyone, leaving only me and Brother Fang. If it weren't for the fact that I'm its mother, it probably would have killed me too."
"Please come and save Brother Fang! I now know I was terribly wrong. I will help you capture the Lord of the Dark Domain."
"Wu Qian" wiped away her tears with her sleeve and said.
"Oh? It's great that you can correct your mistakes. With Sister Wu's help, I'm sure we can kill the Lord of the Black Domain!" Gu Mingyue continued with a smile.
Xinghe's clear eyes were fixed on Wu Qian, who was trapped in the chunks of flesh. Although the light in the room was getting dimmer, he still noticed that Wu Qian's body structure was slightly different.
"Yes...yes! My legs are a little weak right now, could someone help me up?" Wu Qian raised her delicate face, her eyes brimming with tears, revealing her fragile beauty.
Lu Qingchen couldn't bear to see the beauty heartbroken, so he stepped into the pile of flesh first, intending to help her up.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Wu Qian, Gu Mingyue sensed a dangerous aura approaching from behind. She quickly dodged to the side, and Xinghe also gathered a spatial shield to protect Gu Mingyue.
Golden knights from outside the Golden Tower stormed in, wielding golden longswords and attacking Gu Mingyue and her companion.
At this moment, the entire golden tower was completely plunged into darkness, without a single ray of light.
During this time, Gu Mingyue heard Lu Qingchen let out a muffled cry of pain. It was still as pleasant to hear as ever, but it was tinged with weakness.
Those who came with Lu Qingchen were all anxiously searching in his direction. The firelight flickered on and off, and each time the light appeared, the number of superhumans on the second floor decreased. Finally, when even the fire-type superhuman died, only three heavy breathing sounds remained in the room.
Xinghe protected Gu Mingyue inside the spatial shield. Gu Mingyue held the meteorite knife in her left hand and gradually retreated to approach Wu Qian. With her right hand, she held the hilt of the vampire sword and approached Wu Qian, intending to pull her up from the chunks of flesh on the ground.
"Sister Wu, are you alright?"
"Ah! I'm alright. The Lord of the Dark Domain didn't hurt me. Could you... could you move your knife away from me? It's pitch black right now, and it almost poked my eye just now."
Wu Qian moved backward, quickly dodging Gu Mingyue's right hand holding the Bloodsucking Sword and hiding in the corner.
"Sister Wu, it seems like the Lord of the Dark Domain is in this room. I can't see anything, so I don't dare to put down my knife."
Gu Mingyue's eyes darted around like a blind person's, and the knife in her hand swayed dangerously back and forth.
Wu Qian cursed inwardly and commanded the Golden Knight to attack Gu Mingyue and her companion, taking the opportunity to snatch her strange knife.
Those golden monsters would be sucked dry as soon as they were cut by the Bloodsucking Sword. Perhaps Gu Mingyue's hand was not steady enough, and several golden knights took the opportunity to use golden threads to entangle the Bloodsucking Sword in mid-air.
Seeing the eerie black knife slip from Gu Mingyue's hand, 'Wu Qian' smiled bloodthirstyly. Her golden body, which resembled insects, no longer hid and sprang from the golden floor tiles toward Gu Mingyue.
"Hehehe, Sister Gu, I think I can move my legs again! I've come to find you~"
