“Sister, why are you shaking? We still have business to take care of…”
Hearing Lumiya mention their task, Lin Yu and Lao Hu, who were still stunned by Lumiya’s overwhelming power, suddenly remembered.
There was still a Barrier in the rear that hadn’t been dealt with!!
“Quick! The rest of you continue to stand guard here! Lao Hu, you stay here and recover! My injuries have already been healed! I’m going to go handle the Barrier in the back!”
Lin Yu commanded the soldiers on the beach and gave instructions to the heavily injured Lao Hu.
Immediately after, she prepared to head to the rear with Lumiya to resolve the Barrier.
“Lumiya, you…”
When she turned her head, Lumiya had already vanished from her side at some unknown point.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but click her tongue. What kind of blind luck did her younger brother have to contract a Beast like this?
Was it really her brother who contracted Lumiya?
Why did it feel more like Lumiya was the one keeping her brother! But how could a beautiful and powerful Beast like Lumiya take an interest in her brother? Was that brat Lin Xing even worthy!?
However, the priority now was to hurry and deal with the Barrier in the back.
She couldn’t let those tourists who hadn’t evacuated stay there for too long! Otherwise, it would be troublesome if a stampede occurred.
With a single step, Lin Yu turned into an afterimage, flying toward the Barrier closest to her at high speed!
Whether by coincidence or not, the Barrier closest to Lin Yu at this moment was exactly the one where Lin Xing was located!!
At the same time, the chaos and unrest on Lin Xing’s side were about to explode!
Because the battle had started so suddenly, the planned protection from armed personnel was not in place.
Even the three Beasts that the Team Leader had originally left behind for surveillance and deterrence had two of them pulled away due to the emergency on the front lines. Only one remained to barely stall for time in case of a sudden emergency!
From that moment on, voices of dissatisfaction began to appear among the crowd, gradually growing louder!
Until now! Some people even began to anxiously pound on the Barrier! They tried to shatter the Barrier that had remained unmoved even after taking a full-power strike from a 3rd Rank powerhouse!
Humans tend to follow the herd.
When one person started pounding on the Barrier, more and more people followed suit.
And when someone began to panic because they heard the roar of a Demonic Creature and started running in another direction?
More and more people followed that figure in a frantic run, and panic spread like a rising tide.
“Panic, fear, and irritability make human souls taste even more delicious… Don’t you agree, my baby?”
A shadow quietly appeared in the middle of the crowd with a massive Bone Bear standing behind it! The spectral fire in its eye sockets flickered! It was excited! It was filled with a madness for the delicious meal it was about to taste!!!
The person and the bear even began to dance in the middle of the crowd!
The shadow’s movements were twisted like a puppet’s, and the Bone Bear’s skeleton rattled with a clicking sound as they collided. The rhythm of the two was unexpectedly synchronized.
Yet, it seemed no one noticed. Was it because they didn’t care? Or because it didn’t matter?
Or rather… it was more like they were blended into the crowd’s fear?
Lin Xing’s hands, which were holding Lumiya and Little Green, had started to sweat. He tried his best to ignore the man and the bear dancing in the crowd!
Although he didn’t know the strength of this pair, the scene was simply too eerie!
Those people running around weren’t running toward any other place! Instead, they were circling around that person and the bear!
The people who were originally pounding on the Barrier found that the objects they were hitting had somehow turned into drums!
The bodies of the drums seemed to be pieced together from human bones, and the drumheads were made of some unknown skin, occasionally dripping with yellow grease!
Strangely, the sound of the drums was not heavy, but rather shrill!
The fleeing crowd became the drumbeats! The piercing, sharp sound of the drums was like a death knell, signaling the fate of this chaos!
“It seems there’s a little mouse here, baby?”
The shadow seemed to notice Lin Xing’s gaze.
The figure, who originally had his back to Lin Xing, suddenly folded his entire body over. Like he was hanging upside down, he stared intently in Lin Xing’s direction! His neck twisted 180 degrees at an angle that defied logic.
The hood on his head slipped due to the excessive movement, revealing part of his face. Countless tiny tentacles were writhing frantically under his skin!
He bared his teeth, revealing sharp, thin fangs, and his voice was as ear-piercing as nails scratching on glass.
“Found you~ You can see me and my baby, right? You saw us, didn’t you!!!”
Before he could finish his sentence, the spectral fire in the Bone Bear’s eye sockets suddenly flared up. It began approaching Lin Xing step by step, each stride causing a slight tremor in the ground!
Lin Xing, on the other hand, calmed down. His hands, gripping Little Green and Lumiya, didn’t move an inch.
The man and the bear didn’t actually have the ability to find him! He had just been bluffing moments ago.
If they had really found him, why would they approach so slowly? They would have just waited quietly for rescue!
But someone didn’t feel like wasting time standing here anymore.
Lumiya looked boredly at the two twisted things entertaining themselves in the crowd.
Aren’t these two guys going to run?
Didn’t they realize that the big guy attracting all the fire earlier had already vanished from the face of the earth?
Lin Xing’s sister flies so slowly. Should she wait another minute? But she really wanted to go eat something~
“Hey, Lin Xing, I’m going to go take out those two things. How about we go get some barbecue? I’m kind of craving squid~”
Thinking of it meant doing it! Lumiya leaned close to Lin Xing and whispered her question.
“Let’s wait a bit longer! Their strength is still hard to gauge. Even if we win, there’s still the Barrier, right?”
Lin Xing also leaned closer to Lumiya, whispering back.
Seeing that no one was running away under the pressure of the Bone Bear and that everyone remained the same as before, the shadow began to doubt if his senses were wrong. Could it be that no one really saw him?
No! A certain gaze was becoming increasingly obvious!
Where was it! In the sky!?
The shadow suddenly looked up, the tentacles under his hood writhing madly!
A woman in an ice-blue gown dived down like an arrow released from a bow. The Ice Blue Longbow in her hand radiated a chilling frost.
The ice arrow condensed on the bowstring was ready to be fired, and the surrounding air hissed sharply due to her rapid approach!
“As I thought, it’s you people from the Abyss Undead Sect behind this! Only 3rd Rank? You really are in league with those Beyond the Boundary!!”
Before Lin Yu’s roar finished, the ice arrow shot out like a cold streak of light through the air!
“What do you people know! The King is…”
Seeing that death was inevitable, the shadow didn’t even try to dodge. He stood in place with his arms raised high, the tentacles on his face seeming to carry a fanatical faith as he shouted!
Before he could finish, he was pinned and killed by the arrow, turning into a pile of shattered ice!
The ice arrow slammed into the ground with residual force! An ice-blue current exploded outward from the point of impact like a tide. The people it touched shuddered, and their dazed eyes instantly regained clarity!
As soon as Lin Yu’s toes touched the ground, she drew her bowstring to the limit once more!
A second ice arrow, condensed with even more frigid air than before, turned into an ice-blue beam of light and struck the Barrier.
With a loud “CRACK,” the Barrier that had once withstood a full-power strike from a 3rd Rank expert shattered like glass!
She looked around coolly and suddenly spotted Lin Xing in the crowd. Her eyes lit up.
Then, she saw Lumiya leaning against Lin Xing’s side and Little Green, who was almost pressed into Lin Xing’s chest while chirping away.
Her expression became strange. What was the situation with her younger brother?
Did he start a harem?
