The chaotic phantom was not as powerful as the previous two ferocious beasts. Perhaps it was because the other side was holding back. Inside the protective shield, Zhu Yi only felt gusts of cold wind sweeping over her, and nothing else.
The three ferocious beasts got even closer to Zhu Yi, and she was a little scared, so she could only pretend to be absent-minded and enjoying eating crabs.
Honestly, it's a good thing she took out snow crabs that she was reluctant to eat—the big, tempting kind. Otherwise, if she had taken out smaller hairy crabs, in this situation, Zhu Yi really wouldn't have been able to pretend to be so calm and collected…
"Jinbao and I are exhausted from fighting your ferocious beast phantom!" A bite of crab, so delicious! I consoled myself.
Zhu Yi pretended to be fearless.
Seeing Zhu Yi's carefree manner, Jinbao ate even more happily, slurping up a crab leg in one bite.
Qing Shang choked, then snorted coldly, "Heh, how long has it been? It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me like that."
"You're really strange. Didn't you want to recruit me, Jinbao, and Zhaocai to do things for you? But when you recruit others to do things, don't you even feed them?"
Zhu Yi's voice, as clear as a lark's, was filled with doubt and curiosity: "It's only natural to make people work and feed them! Besides, we brought our own food, we didn't eat from your head."
After putting away the pots and utensils, Zhu Yi kept giving Jinbao meaningful glances, urging it to eat quickly and not dawdle. There would be more later, and she would make other delicious food for it when they got out... She secretly adjusted her eating posture, assuming a fighting stance at any moment.
From a distance, the way Zhu Yi was eating crab, with her body turned to the side and chewing slowly, was truly infuriating.
Qing Shang felt that this was the most nonchalant girl he had ever encountered when facing an enemy.
He couldn't help but glance at her a few more times; the way she ate with such a simple, honest expression stirred up a secret longing in his heart.
In fact, Zhu Yi had no appetite at all. She forced herself to swallow a vegetable rice ball and then ate a Qi-boosting pill.
He threw the large crab that his partner hadn't eaten much into the magic-locking bag for the Demon Blood Flowers.
The Flower Squad returned quietly after completing their mission, and everyone was overjoyed to see delicious food.
"Why are you laughing so happily?" Zhu Yi asked them quietly. "We're surrounded by enemies here, and we don't know when we'll be able to get out."
As Zhu Yi said this, she sounded a little dejected, but the Demon Blood Flowers didn't seem to care. "What are you worried about? It's very comfortable here. We are demonic plants after all! It's fine as long as we don't go out!"
Zhu Yi sighed: Well, it's fortunate that they are such small magical plants that we can set up charcoal fires so unexpectedly. Otherwise, if it were any other thing, the enemy would have discovered the traps by now.
A melancholy clouded her beautiful, long eyebrows. Jinbao slowed down her eating and looked around. The outermost protective shield was surrounded by a layer of vengeful spirits desperately trying to get inside, like a thick black quilt covering a golden shield.
Jinbao shivered, feeling a bit chilly.
Chi Su was somewhat dissatisfied. His gaze swept over Qing Shang, his eyes fixed on him, lost in thought.
I don't know what memories I'm lost in, sometimes gentle, sometimes serious, like the ever-changing clouds on the distant mountain horizon, pitch black when it's raining, sparkling white when it's sunny, and a sky full of red clouds when it's intense.
Jinbao transformed back into his original form and stood protectively in front of Zhu Yi, smacking his lips a few times with reluctance.
"Junior Sister, how do you plan to fight next? Once the protective shield is activated, all the vengeful spirits outside will swarm in!"
"Let's not fight, let's use some technology!" Zhu Yi said solemnly, stroking Jinbao's thick, soft fur on his neck. The chubby feel made Zhu Yi relax a lot.
"We can't fight alone; we have to use the power of our weapons and attack as a group!" Where the black mist gathered, the girl, dressed in a snow-white brocade embroidered with golden lotus flowers, stood out brightly in the darkness.
The hidden demonic power outside the Demon Eye remained silent for the time being. Zhu Yi looked up but could not see the light of day; instead, she saw a group of evil spirits baring their fangs and claws, ready to devour blood and flesh.
Three parts of Zhaocai's soul were in the Demon Eye, absorbing and condensing magical power, and transforming back into a black cat identical to Zhaocai.
The difference is that the creature has golden pupils and a noble posture like a little princess.
The Demon Wealth has a pair of tiger eyes filled with blood, the crimson color proclaiming its status as the ruler of the Yin spirits.
Jinbao looked dejected: "If only I had been more careful just now, I could have caught Zhaocai and prevented it from going berserk..."
"Don't worry, it's just a part of its soul. We'll be able to get it back sooner or later and have Zhaocai remodel it!"
Zhu Yi stroked Jinbao, speaking words she herself wasn't even sure about, her heart filled with sorrow.
She dared not tell Jinbao that she was about to do something very dangerous.
All I could do was repeatedly tell Jinbao that if he couldn't win the fight, he should run away as soon as possible, using all his spells, talismans, and top-quality magical artifacts to escape in the chaos.
Jinbao looked at the Demon-Locking Bag that Zhu Yixin had put around its neck. It knew that Zhaocai's true form and two parts of its demonic soul were still inside.
"Are you going to do something dangerous?" Jinbao threw himself into Zhu Yi's arms and mumbled, licking Zhu Yi's face with his big tongue.
"Get out of here! Don't look like that. Your cultivation is higher than mine, and with a bunch of royal-level talismans, you'll definitely be able to escape!" Zhu Yi checked the Demon-Locking Bag. The old woman was also put inside by Zhu Yi. She would feel more at ease handing it over to Jinbao like this. She repeatedly confirmed that the Demon-Locking Bag would not be easily bitten off by the vengeful spirits.
"And what about you?"
"Remember, when things get chaotic, run out quickly and use everything you have to save your life!"
Zhu Yi reiterated that Jinbao should run away quickly, without saying what would happen to her.
Jinbao clung to Zhu Yi's arms, refusing to leave: "No, let's go out together. If Zhaocai and I go out and you're left here alone, Master will tear us apart!"
"Woof woof!"
In the center of the formation, several shrill barks of dogs rang out. Qing Shang pulled himself out of his thoughts. He was more dejected than before, and a decadent aura spread out. His eyes were bloodshot, and a voice in his heart kept telling him to forget that person and destroy everything that resembled that person!
However, tears welled up in his eyes, telling him that the person in his heart would not treat him so cruelly, and that she must have her own untold suffering.
The first protective shield had already been devoured and destroyed by the vengeful spirits. With a "whoosh," the vengeful spirits swarmed forward, and having tasted the sweetness, they continued to devour and destroy the second protective shield.
"Regardless of who gets out first, the most important thing is for us to take care of ourselves!"
"We don't have much time left, we need to hurry!"
