The people of Xuantian Sect below could only watch helplessly as Lilia was captured by the golden-winged eagle. They were filled with grief as they listened to Lilia's painful and sorrowful cries.
"Lilia!"
Among them, the one who felt the most guilty and painful was Senior Sister Qiao. Lilia was originally in her arms, but in order to protect her from being hurt by the golden-winged eagle, she broke free from her arms and faced the danger alone.
Lilia must have been very scared at that time, but in order to protect herself, she still went to face such a terrifying level 8 monster alone without hesitation.
She immediately stepped on the flying sword, wanting to catch up with the golden-winged eagle that had already flown far away and take Lilia back.
"Senior Sister Qiao!" Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu and the others didn't care about being sad and rushed forward to stop her.
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
"Lilia is in danger, I have to go save her!" Senior Sister Qiao said anxiously.
As she said this, she tried to break free and continue chasing the golden-winged eagle.
"Let me go!"
However, how could they let her go? It was a level 8 monster. If she chased after it, she would only die in vain.
"Senior Sister Qiao, calm down! Lilia definitely doesn't want you to die for her!" Xiao Lingyu was afraid that she would act impulsively, so he put his arms around her waist, fearing that if she let go, Senior Sister Qiao would break free and chase after her.
"Senior Sister Qiao, Lilia would rather be captured in order not to implicate you. If you chase after her, wouldn't that be a betrayal of her kindness?" Song Zhi also advised.
Senior Sister Qiao’s full name is Qiao Lin. She is the oldest among them. She has a rational and gentle personality and is very caring towards her fellow junior brothers and sisters. It is rare to see her act so impulsively, even disregarding her own safety.
"It's useless for us to chase after them, and we may even lose our lives. Instead of doing that, we might as well inform Senior Ling about this matter as soon as possible. There may still be a glimmer of hope." Song Zhi analyzed the pros and cons to Senior Sister Qiao.
"Okay." After hearing Song Zhi's words, Senior Sister Qiao finally regained her sanity and stopped making a fuss about chasing the level 8 golden-winged eagle.
In fact, how could she not know how she could save Lilia from a level 8 monster with her strength? She just saw such a well-behaved and lovely Lilia getting into trouble in front of her and she was helpless and felt guilty. If she didn't save Lilia, this would become her inner demon.
The inner demon is what cultivators fear the most. Once infected, it is difficult to cut off. Not only will it affect the cultivator's advancement and prevent him from making any progress in his cultivation, it can even damage his spiritual heart and cause his cultivation to regress.
The reason why Senior Sister Qiao wanted to save Lilia was for both Lilia and herself.
"I'll contact Senior Ling right away." Xiao Lingyu took out the communication jade slip and sent a message to Ling Xiao.
Among them, she was the only one who had Ling Xiao's jade slip, which Ling Xiao had taken the initiative to add before they left. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.
Although Ling Xiao was far away in Xuantian Sect, even with his current level of cultivation, it would take at least three days to get here without stopping, but they had no choice but to ask him for help.
Now they can only pray that Lilia can wait until Ling Xiao arrives alive.
However, what they didn't know was that Ling Xiao was in this swamp forest, very close to them.
When Ling Xiao received the message from Xiao Lingyu, he had just found out the cause of the beast tide outbreak from a level 6 monster.
For some unknown reason, those high-level monsters of level 8 or 9 living in the central area of the swamp forest suddenly ran to the inner area of the forest where the mid-level monsters lived, forcing those mid-level monsters to move to the periphery. Because of this, the low-level monsters rioted, triggering a beast tide.
"I'm in the swamp forest now. The swamp forest is not safe now. You should leave here quickly. As for Lilia's matter, you don't have to worry about it. I will go find her now." When Ling Xiao heard the news that Lilia was in trouble, he was anxious, but he still did not forget to notify Xiao Lingyu and other disciples of Xuantian Sect, asking them to evacuate quickly.
No matter what, he is also a member of Xuantian Sect, and his master is the supreme elder of Xuantian Sect, so he cannot ignore them.
"Senior Ling said that he is in the swamp forest now. He asked us to leave here quickly and he will go to find Lilia." Xiao Lingyu said excitedly after reading the jade slip sent by Ling Xiao.
After hearing the news, everyone felt relieved.
Although they didn't know why Ling Xiao appeared here, his presence was a good thing for them, as it proved that Lilia might be saved.
At this time, Lilia, who was being missed by everyone, was being carried by the golden-winged eagle over the swamp forest. Her skin was dug into her flesh by the opponent's sharp claws, and bright red blood kept oozing down, dripping from the sky onto the trees below, or onto the ground.
Lilia only felt pain in her body. However, the more she struggled, the deeper the golden-winged eagle's claws sank, and the pain in her body became more intense.
Her eyes had long been blurred by tears, and her mind began to involuntarily emerge with images of Ling Xiao and the disciples of Xuantian Sect, and finally her parents.
“Ouch—”
She roared towards the sky; the voice was sad, unwilling, and full of attachment to this world.
She was still so young, not even one year old. Compared with the long lifespan of the dragon clan, she was really too young.
She was unwilling to accept that she was going to die at such a young age, but she had no choice but to accept her fate.
I just regret that she is still too young. If she could grow up, no one or any monster would be able to hurt her.
The dragon's roar echoed throughout the forest, startling the birds and animals in the forest.
At the same time, in a huge lake in the central area of the deepest part of the forest, a huge head emerged from the water.
It was a dragon head, like an ancient divine creature, with bright eyes like two night pearls, emitting breathtaking light. The dragon's horns were curved and sharp, as if they could pierce the sky, demonstrating its majesty and power.
Even the flowing dragon whiskers seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth. When they swayed gently, they seemed to cause the wind and clouds to change color.
The giant dragon seemed to hear a faint dragon roar coming from afar. It seemed to be the voice of a young dragon, so weak that it was almost inaudible, but it still heard it from the wind blowing from afar.
It's a dragon cub!
But isn't it the only dragon left in the dragon clan?
However, the dragon had no time to think whether he had heard it wrong. It immediately rose from the water, revealing its full appearance.
It was a huge dragon with a golden body and golden scales shining in the sun.
It opened its huge mouth, and a dragon roar as loud as a bell echoed between heaven and earth, shaking the soul of every living creature.
Then it flew into the sky, heading in the direction where the sound came from, so fast that only a shadow was left.
