“I used the Cloud Clan’s spiritual techniques and I’m confident I can destroy it. Your presence here will only distract me.”
The snow and wind were biting cold. Xie Lingqin looked at Xu Yiran, and after a while, she left with Tinghai.
Xu Yiran is right. Even if she stays here, she can't help him. It's better to buy more time to regulate her internal energy and release some of the Yun Clan's strange techniques that were suppressing the toxins, just in case.
Under the third tree, Lvwu was leaning against it, almost covered in blood, her breath faint.
And that wound...
"wrong."
Xie Lingqin's expression changed. She took a few steps forward and looked at Lü Wu, who was gradually losing consciousness but still trying to stay awake. "Did you also encounter a monster? Did you?"
Green Beauty looked weakly at Xie Lingqin and nodded, "Yes, Miss Lingqin, it's like a wolf, but not quite a wolf. It's very powerful. Young Master used a lot of strength to get rid of it."
Xie Lingqin's heart clenched as she listened. "He has already used up a lot of strength, but that monster was so big just now. He and Suanpizi definitely can't handle it."
"But, Miss, even if you go, you won't be of much help."
Tinghai quickly stepped in front of Xie Lingqin.
"I...I've already contacted the people at the Heavenly Mystery Hall. They...they will come..."
Green Beauty was too weak and finally fainted.
"roar--"
At that moment, Xie Lingqin's pupils dilated, because behind Tinghai, another white-haired monster, only slightly shorter than the one from before, appeared.
It destroys leaves and trees as soon as it appears.
this……
How many are there exactly?
Almost instinctively, Tinghai picked up Lüwu, and Xie Lingqin said to pull him along, quickly weaving through the woods.
“Miss Lingqin, that cliff over there, is it…” Lvwu slightly opened her eyes, then closed them again.
Xie Lingqin glanced in the direction Green Wu was pointing and immediately instructed, "Tinghai, take Green Wu and run that way. I'll lead it to the cliff."
"No, I cannot..."
“That’s an order.” Xie Lingqin said, kicking Tinghai as she swiftly disappeared into the bushes on the other side.
The white-haired monster naturally followed her, relentlessly pursuing her.
The wind was strong, the air was cold, my heart was pounding, it was a race against time.
A precipice appeared ahead, a snow-covered cliff. Hurry, hurry, just need to lure the white-haired monster over there.
She only had time to help Xu Yiran.
Xu Guairan, you can't get hurt.
"Whoosh—"
A sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Lower your head."
With a low shout of two words, Xie Lingqin instinctively lowered her head, looked at the figure that swept past her, and exclaimed in surprise, "Yu Qingyi."
"Sister Qin, you look so disheveled."
"You're not much better."
Xie Lingqin was turned around by Yu Qingyi and pulled away from where she was standing. He looked at her and said, "Quickly thank me, I saved you."
"Get lost." Xie Lingqin wasn't one for jokes. Looking at Yu Qingyi's disheveled appearance and blood-stained face, she frowned. "What happened? How did you get here?"
"We came with the Crown Prince and encountered this monster, which killed many of us."
As Yu Qingyi spoke, he was stabbed again with a sword. Blood stained the grass, a shocking sight, and his roars sent chills down one's spine.
"Lead it to that cliff ahead," Xie Lingqin said quickly.
“It’s too dangerous there. Not to mention whether we can lure it or not, the cliff might break and you’ll fall down with it.” Yu Qingyi pulled Xie Lingqin, dodging left and right. It seemed that he had been fighting for a long time before meeting her and was very tired.
"Xu Yiran didn't protect you."
"He only let me leave because he was protecting me."
As Xie Lingqin spoke, her eyes darkened with worry. In a flash, she raised her hand, took the silver hairpin from her hair, and aimed it directly at the eyes of the white-haired monster that was lunging at her.
"roar--"
With its eyeballs pierced and blood gushing out, the white-haired monster went berserk, yet it pounced on the two with incredible precision.
“There must be someone behind these monsters. Once we find him, everything will be over.”
“I can see that too. These monsters aren’t normal. They can get up and fight for another three hundred rounds after being killed. They must be being raised by someone.” Yu Qingyi’s hair was disheveled, and he was on high alert.
"To be able to raise monsters in this extremely cold place, this person must have gone to great lengths." Xie Lingqin's eyes sharpened. "Moreover, they must be not far from here, otherwise, they couldn't control so many at the same time."
"roar--"
As the white-haired monster with its eyes pierced lunged again, Yu Qingyi's brows furrowed coldly. With a flourish of his longsword, he and Xie Lingqin retreated in a serpentine pattern. Then, with a series of cracking sounds, dozens of large trees fell down beside them.
In that instant, Yu Qingyi pulled Xie Lingqin along, and amidst the fluttering leaves, they swooped down and hid in a small patch of space covered by the big tree.
There was a sudden moment of silence.
The white-haired monster, unable to find anyone, waved its arms, each as thick as a man, in frustration.
Under the tree, through the gaps in the leaves, Xie Lingqin and Yu Qingyi watched everything happening outside, not daring to make a single mistake.
"I never imagined that I, the young master, would ever be so down on my luck."
Yu Qingyi mocked himself.
Seeing that Yu Qingyi's arm was bleeding, Xie Lingqin immediately tore off her sleeve to bandage it for him.
"Xie Lingqin, did you send someone to ambush Yuwen Yao?"
Yu Qingyi suddenly asked.
"Yes." Xie Lingqin did not deny it.
"Do you know that he was already injured, and now he's lost his way..."
"I just want him dead."
"you……"
"Stop talking nonsense. The only reason I was able to save you is because of our friendship. After we get out of here, we'll each go our own way."
