Chapter 59: Where on Earth Did Ling Yue Send Us?
The Earth Black-Maned Bear's golden eyes were full of brutality. Although its twenty-meter body was more slender than the Ice Soul Silver Python, it crushed forward like a moving monolith.
It slammed its front paw heavily onto the ground, causing several rock spikes to burst from the earth alongside the Silver Python.
The sharp stone edges scraped against snake scales, drawing a string of blood beads.
The Ice Soul Silver Python was already heavily injured; its counterattack was sluggish. It barely managed to swing its giant tail, attempting to freeze the stone spikes with cold air, but the ice breath was vastly weakened, only coating the surface of the stones with a thin layer of frost.
The Black-Maned Bear seized the opportunity to pounce, its broad paw pinning down the python's vital point (the "seven inches").
The crisp sound of rock armor colliding with ice scales shook the leaves off the surrounding trees. "Get the hell back to your own place!"
The shockwaves from the battle between the two Beast Kings caused the heavens and earth to shake.
Chen Yu leaned against a broken tree, his arm trembling uncontrollably. His strength felt like a well that had been pumped dry.
Chen Yu summoned flames, cooked a nearby unlucky beast that had died in the crossfire, and began eating frantically.
"Life Return (Seimei Kikan)!"
The next moment, Chen Yu was back to full health.
Now was the chance to run. If he stayed any longer and those two Beast Kings brought the fight over here, he'd be BBQ'd.
He hurriedly bent down to pick up the unconscious Ling Yue, his large hand gently protecting the back of her head, and ran toward the Great Wall.
He hadn't run far when the ground beneath his feet suddenly shifted.
The soil cracked open, and a faint blue halo seeped out from the fissure, carrying an unfamiliar energy fluctuation.
Before Chen Yu could react, he failed to brake in time and ran straight into the blue light.
The fissure closed instantly after he entered, as if it had never existed.
At the same time, somewhere in the dense forest.
Zhao Hu hid behind a large tree, shaking all over.
He had backed away from Ling Yue and run only a few steps when an Azure Dragon appeared in the sky.
Those beasts chasing him had prostrated on the ground, daring not to move.
The shockwaves from the Dragon-Python battle behind him had almost blown him away.
Afterward, he saw all the beasts rushing toward where the dragon fell, ignoring him—even the low-ranked beasts blocking the way didn't attack.
"Heaven is helping me!"
Taking advantage of the beasts' distraction, he sneaked around the herd. Along the way, he encountered a few low-ranked beasts, which he killed using the power of the Seven Star Sword (Shichiseiken).
Although it was picking off scraps, it left him covered in blood, making it look like he had been through a fierce battle.
He then transformed into his Beast Form, holding the Seven Star Sword in his mouth, and sprinted all the way, his eyes gleaming with the light of survival and opportunism.
Finally, through the gaps in the trees, he saw the Great Wall.
The beast tide seemed to have stopped.
Outside the Seventh District Great Wall, the smoke had not yet cleared.
Zhao Hu stumbled back from the direction of the Misty Forest. His clothes were torn to shreds, his face bore a few shallow scratches, and grass clippings were stuck in his hair.
As soon as he ran to the city gate, he was stopped by soldiers. "Halt! Which unit are you from?"
Zhao Hu immediately put on an expression of surviving a catastrophe, his voice hoarse. "I am Zhao Hu, an examinee from the Misty Forest!"
Soldiers gathered around. Some looked at the "wounds" on Zhao Hu's body, then at the sword in his hand, showing expressions of admiration. "Young man, we heard about you guys! You dared to lead a squad to lure the Seventh Order Beast King. So brave!"
"And the plan succeeded! The beast tide has receded!"
"Quick, tell us what happened with that Azure Dragon!"
Facing the praise, Zhao Hu blossomed with joy inside.
"Zhao Hu?!" Zhao Lie's figure appeared at the gate. He walked over quickly. "You succeeded! The plan worked!"
"Why are you the only one back? Where are Ling Yue and the others?"
Zhao Hu's face froze.
He lowered his head, tightening his grip on the Seven Star Sword as dark thoughts bred in his mind.
He raised his hand to wipe his face, making himself look even more wretched.
"Not long after we left the city, we were besieged by the beast tide!"
"There were too many beasts; we couldn't handle them..."
"So they stayed behind to cover me, telling me to go to the Black-Maned Bear King's territory..."
"But just as I successfully broke out, the Azure Dragon appeared in the sky. The shockwaves from their battle were too great. I wanted to save them, but..."
"I was too weak!" He got more agitated as he spoke, even squeezing out a few tears. "I failed them!"
Zhao Lie looked at the wounds on his body, then recalled the Azure Dragon figure in the sky just now, and believed most of it instantly.
He patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder, his tone approving. "You've done well. To escape the beast tide and succeed in the plan."
"You are the hero of our Seventh District!"
"Chen Yu and the others are surely fine. Maybe they are already on their way back."
Zhao Hu was surrounded by soldiers, accepting everyone's praise and comfort.
He lifted his head, gripping the Seven Star Sword even tighter. This feeling of being in the spotlight felt even better than he had imagined.
He secretly swore to secure this title of "Hero." As for Chen Yu and the others... they should never return.
Thinking this, he clenched his fist and punched the city wall. "It's all because I'm useless... couldn't stay with them..."
Meanwhile.
Xia Wanqing and Lin Yan, who had been slapped away by Ling Yue.
They only felt a massive force wrapped in a pale pink halo suddenly strike them from behind.
Their vision blurred, and their bodies became weightless like kites with cut strings. The wind roared in their ears, almost tearing their eardrums.
Wrapped in paw-print-shaped halos, the two flew for about ten minutes.
Pop~
The paw-print halos acted like cushions, canceling out the inertia of the fall. The two landed smoothly.
Xia Wanqing stumbled and supported the equally swaying Lin Yan. They looked at each other, eyes full of shock.
"What exactly is Ling Yue's ability?!"
"Are we back at the wall?" Lin Yan looked around. The clean bluestone bricks didn't look like they had weathered a beast tide.
"Hiss... it looks like it, but also not like it." Xia Wanqing scratched her head.
"Where on earth did Ling Yue send us?"
While the two were still dazed, a soldier holding a spear walked over quickly, his eyes wary. "Who are you?"
"How did you suddenly 'fly' into our Eighth District from outside the city? The buffer barrier just shook from the impact."
"Fly in?" Lin Yan asked subconsciously, patting the grass off his body, his tone full of disbelief. "We were just in the Misty Forest of the Seventh District, following Ling Yue and the others..."
"Wait, did you say this is the Eighth District?"
"Where else?" The soldier raised an eyebrow, pointing to the tower not far away.
"The Eighth District flag is hanging up there. Didn't you see it?"
"Looking at your injuries, did you come out of the Misty Forest? Isn't there a beast tide happening there?"
"How did you jump all the way to our Eighth District defenses in an instant?"
"Deserters?"
Lin Yan and Xia Wanqing looked at each other, seeing the same confusion and relief in each other's eyes.
