A powerful aura swept towards her. Xie Zhou tried to dodge, but it was as if his hands and feet were bound by something, and he was unable to move.
The ball of light flew smoothly toward her, and the system, not idle at the moment, quickly intercepted the force.
After the light disappeared, the system prompted: "This ball of light is a magical power, a merit power that belongs exclusively to Tao. It can make you forever submit to its feet."
"It will constantly remind you of the bad things you've done. Fortunately, the system was able to block this attack, otherwise you would have been in big trouble."
Listening to the system's explanation, she then realized how terrifying Tao was. She never expected that such a small creature could have such great power.
Its merit and power were something she had never heard of before; how could it have such a wondrous effect?
This is terrifying. If Tao's cubs grow up, it will be disastrous. We must eliminate them as soon as possible. Even if we can't eliminate them, we must find a place to seal them away!
The system then popped up and said, "Tao's cub doesn't have a master-subordinate relationship yet. You can try to make it submit to you. Once you tame it, you will also have a very powerful ancient beast."
Xie Zhou had never considered this possibility. After all, Tao was so powerful and, judging by his temperament, he wasn't easily tamed or persuaded to listen to others' opinions. Xie Zhou never even dared to think about it.
Xie Zhou looked at Tao, who was jumping around inside the light circle, and took a few steps back with some apprehension.
He said, "You actually have such a plan? Do you want me to go and die? I can barely withstand one of its attacks right now, let alone tame it and make it my subordinate. You're talking nonsense!"
"Why not give it a try? But your current strength is definitely no match for this cub of the Wave. You need to strengthen some things!"
"Enhance something? Give me some secret manuals or new skills instead! How can you expect me to suddenly become several times stronger with just a few words? Besides, did I even complete the mission this time? Wasn't it just about getting that eye technique manual?"
"As long as I safely escort the sect's disciples back to the mountain gate, my mission will be complete. I wonder if those Sword Sect brats have left the Monster Mountain Range instead of coming to look for me."
Meanwhile, in the area where a large group of people in white robes had gathered in the Monster Mountain Range, Senior Brother Song was sitting on a rock, leaning on his sword. The surrounding disciples stood there with awe and respect, and were also somewhat exhausted.
They didn't fall to the ground, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing.
Faced with so many magical beasts, they had not yet recovered. Some of the younger disciples even cried bitterly when they saw the mangled limbs of their fellow disciples scattered all over the ground, and their stomachs churned.
However, the grief in my heart was intense. After all, my companions who were just talking with me were now cold, lifeless corpses, and not even complete ones. Fortunately, the casualties were not particularly severe. Only two of them were torn apart and devoured by the monsters, and the rest only suffered minor injuries.
Senior Brother Song stared gravely at the scene of devastation, then rose, raised his sword, and said, "Let's get out of here quickly..."
The other disciples stepped forward and asked, "Senior Sister Xie single-handedly lured away the beast tide for us. How is she now? We can't break our promise and leave here!"
"That's right! That's right! Senior Sister Xie hasn't returned yet. Senior Brother, why don't we follow the direction of the beast tide and search for Senior Sister Xie's whereabouts? Two hours have passed, why haven't we seen her return yet?"
"Of course I'm worried about these things, but we must also remember what she said: that I should protect you and help you get back safely. In order to prevent Junior Sister Xie from worrying about you again, no matter what, I will make sure you get back to the sect safely this time!"
"There are already more than a dozen disciples injured. We must go back quickly to treat them, otherwise they might develop chronic illnesses!"
"Senior brother, we know all this, but we have a few disciples who haven't been seriously injured yet. Let's stay here and wait for Senior Sister Xie's triumphant return!"
"No! You must come back with us too. It's not safe to stay here. Haven't you realized what's happening over there and the beast tide? You're already very capable, managing to repel so many magical beasts and witnessing their power."
"I'm only telling you one thing now: get out of here safely and quickly."
"If we don't leave now, we'll be letting down Junior Sister Xie, who single-handedly drew away the beast tide for your sake!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples no longer objected, but instead led the injured disciple out of the outer perimeter of the Monster Mountain Range.
They remained silent on the way, but all of them were concerned about Senior Sister Xie, wondering how she was doing. Only a few disciples of the Sword Sect had minor injuries, but two disciples of the Worry-Free Pavilion had been lost.
All of this made them feel down and lose interest.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Song Wu joked, "You guys really got a good deal this time, being able to witness a beast tide that happens only once in a century. You're amazing! When we get back, Master will definitely praise you again."
The disciples behind him knew that Senior Brother Song had good intentions, so they echoed his words and then quickly returned to their respective sects on their magical artifacts.
The Sword Sect disciples were the first to rush into the Sword Sect's courtyard, intending to find Senior Brother Luo and inform him of Xie Zhou's matter.
Meanwhile, Xie Zhou was dealing with Tao, and she discovered that Tao was not as ferocious as it seemed. Its attacks only occurred when it was in a disadvantageous position. At this moment, the system received the message that the Sword Sect members had safely returned to the Sword Sect, and it was about to issue rewards.
"Ding! Mission complete, you have obtained the Eye Technique Manual."
Xie Zhou was surprised that the group of kids had finally listened to him for a while and left the Monster Mountain Range safely.
He breathed a sigh of relief, watching with delight as a manual on pupil techniques rapidly absorbed its knowledge and methods into his mind.
Didn't the system absorb that attack?
I was just refining this causal power. After absorbing this power, the system unlocked some new functions.
Soon, some prompts appeared on the cutting board in front of Xie Zhou, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
At this moment, the leader of the men in black regained some of his strength and joined forces with Tao to attack Xie Zhou.
"The system is counting on you!"
The system immediately used the merit power it had gained to help Xie Zhou quickly master the Heavenly Eye Technique.
In a matter of seconds, she seemed to see a lot of things.
Just as the leader of the men in black was about to launch an attack, Xie Zhou used his mental power to control him.
She then used her pupil technique to pull Tao into the illusion.
In the illusion, Xie Zhou disguised himself as Tao's father.
