Chapter 163 Unexpected Changes
In an instant, all the orcs became alert.
Mu Ling, too, carried the female protagonist to the center of the encirclement to prevent being ambushed outside or getting separated from her.
Five cursed beasts, transformed from orcs, pounced on the group.
But their target is Lu Liufeng.
The team originally had twenty third-tier members, but five died from contamination, six went into the black hole, and Raman didn't come from the glacier, so only eight remained.
Since Lu Liufeng needed to control the domain and was unable to move, only seven remained.
Mu Ling was holding her, unable to participate in the battle...
Jiang Xi immediately spoke up.
"Mu Ling! Put me next to Lu Liufeng! Go help them!"
Mu Ling immediately shook her head.
"My mission is to protect the Mistress!"
Jiang Xi said hurriedly.
"Your mission is also to protect Lu Liufeng! Then put me next to him, and you can protect both of us at the same time!!"
"He's just as important as me! If the domain can't hold on, and the black hole regains its ice element, then they'll be in danger inside the black hole!!"
Mu Ling was stunned for a moment.
Although he was unwilling, seeing that the female master insisted, he had no choice but to place her next to Lu Liufeng.
Although Lu Liufeng did not support the female lead's actions, he knew that she was thinking of the bigger picture.
He nodded to Mu Ling.
Jiang Xi grabbed Lu Liufeng's clothes and channeled some healing power into him.
Something is better than nothing; it's a psychological effect and a form of relief.
Sweat beaded on Lu Liufeng's forehead, yet he still smiled gently.
"Don't be afraid, Mistress."
Jiang Xi gritted her teeth and nodded, then said seriously.
"Let's not talk, and be aware of our surroundings."
Her hands, which were hanging down, were slightly open.
She was prepared. If a cursed beast were to sneak up on her, she would simply use her ability to extract supernatural power and pull it out hard!
Never mind what you draw!!
Even if she were exposed to contamination, she wouldn't be afraid given her body's resistance to it!
Mu Ling is a peak expert of the third tier. After awakening his bloodline talent, his figure became even more elusive, making him impossible to detect.
His arrival greatly reduced the pressure on the orcs.
Mu Ling always manages to appear unexpectedly, helping them complete their hunt.
Although Yi Yuexi was constantly attacking the cursed beast, she was also keeping an eye on Lu Liufeng and the female master's surroundings.
He possesses the ability to see snowflakes, so the snowflakes around him can, to some extent, serve as his eyes and ears.
So, the moment the sixth cursed beast appeared, he immediately turned around, stepped on the icy blue snowflakes, and kicked the cursed beast away.
Then, icy blue snowflakes flew out, tearing through the flesh of the cursed beast.
However, the cursed beast is thick-skinned and tough, so it's clear that one or two attacks won't kill it.
But everyone was skilled at killing cursed beasts, and with their tacit cooperation, they quickly wiped out all six cursed beasts.
The situation was critical; they couldn't afford to leave the cursed beast alive, so they burned it with blue scale powder.
The only option is to kill them, sending them back to the cursed land and into its endless cycle of rebirth.
"Is the female master alright?"
Yi Yuexi came over, panting.
His forehead was stained with bright red blood, making his already stunning face even more striking.
Jiang Xi reached out to help him with the treatment.
Yi Yuexi subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to touch the blood on her forehead.
Jiang Xi quickly grabbed his hand.
"You're injured, don't move!"
Yi Yuexi gave a weak smile.
"They're all minor injuries."
Mu Ling also appeared. Seeing Yi Yuexi's affected manner, she quickly covered her chest, looking weak and breathless.
"Oh dear, mistress, I was kicked. My chest feels heavy and uncomfortable. Mistress, please help me heal it."
He said those words, but he looked radiant, and his exposed skin was completely unharmed.
But Jiang Xi didn't suspect anything and placed her hand on Mu Ling's chest.
She treated his supernatural abilities for a while but didn't find any fractures. Although she was a little puzzled, she thought that it might have irritated his organs, so she treated him anyway.
Although Yi Yuexi and Mu Ling were somewhat reluctant, there were other beastmen who needed treatment, so they quickly made way for them to receive treatment.
However, for the safety of the female master, Mu Ling stood beside her the whole time, holding one of her hands and not letting go.
After treating the orcs one by one, Jiang Xi looked at Lu Liufeng.
Lu Liufeng's already pale face began to turn even paler.
When he saw the female master looking at him, he gave an ugly smirk.
"Please, mistress..."
Before he could finish uttering the wrong word, he staggered, and his domain began to become unstable.
"Lu Liufeng!!"
Jiang Xi quickly reached out to support him, but she was too short to support him.
Fortunately, Yi Yuexi reached out and helped Lu Liufeng up.
Lu Liufeng, his face pale, thanked her and didn't forget to comfort the female master.
"Don't worry, my lady, I'm fine."
The atmosphere in the snowy forest instantly became heavy again.
The orcs gathered not far from the black hole, their faces grave as they stared at the utterly still black hole.
Will they ever come back...?
The same thought arose in everyone's mind.
But at that moment, the black hole suddenly began to vibrate violently.
Violent tremors!
Visible vibrations!!
A look of delight flashed across everyone's faces as six blood-soaked figures suddenly emerged from the black hole.
Hong held an ice-blue crystal in his hand, his face beaming with joy.
"Female Envoy, we've got it..."
Before he could finish speaking, a cry of pain rang out from behind him.
The group turned around and saw Cao Lun, who had stepped out, being swallowed back into the black hole.
Several people quickly reached out and grabbed him.
Hollen tried to step into the black hole, but the vibrating black hole began to collapse and dissipate, making it impossible for him to enter.
Suddenly, the ice-blue crystal in Hong's hand burst into a bright light, so bright that everyone closed their eyes.
Under the blinding light, Yi Yuexi inexplicably felt comfortable all over.
He couldn't help but open his eyes, only to find that the ice crystals were spinning and rapidly hurtling towards the female master.
His heart clenched, and he immediately shouted.
"Mistress, be careful!!"
Jiang Xi raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light, and upon hearing the sound, she instinctively took a step back.
Mu Ling, with his eyes closed, rushed over and hugged the female master as the ice crystals crashed into him.
The vanished black hole expanded out from the ice crystals.
The ice crystal, carrying a black hole, crashed into Jiang Xi's chest.
Mu Ling held the female master, unable to move.
His special abilities, including teleportation, have been restricted...
The black hole swallowed him whole.
Before Jiang Xi's vision blurred, all she heard were heart-wrenching screams.
"Female Mistress——"
"Female Mistress——"
"Female Mistress——"
"Female!!!"
Darkness, shrouded in bizarre, colorful light.
Jiang Xi and Mu Ling embraced tightly as they plummeted into the flowing black hole.
Even though she was used to Mu Ling's movements, she couldn't help feeling dizzy.
"Mu Ling, Mu Ling, are you alright? Can you use your teleportation ability?"
She spoke with difficulty, her heart filled with panic.
Mu Ling's facial muscles twitched, revealing gray lines and light spots. With a forceful movement, his ears and tail emerged.
He held the female tightly, constantly trying to shift his position and communicate with the light.
But all of them ended in failure.
"No, we can't communicate."
But he didn't give up and kept trying.
The speed of the fall was increasing, and the aura of the curse was growing stronger.
Suddenly, a beastly roar resounded from within the black hole, and the instant it sounded, an extremely powerful pressure spread out.
But in that instant, Mu Ling managed to communicate with a displacement point!
