Chapter 807 - 797: Eerie (First Update)
Mao Xize couldn’t understand what happened.
Clearly, ’he’ was severely injured and fell into a deep sleep, supposedly unable to awaken in a short period.
Although Mao Xize didn’t know what was going on with ’him,’ he thought it was reckless to ignore one’s body like that.
If it continued this way, ’he’ might not even survive.
Mao Xize had a vague feeling that it seemed someone was going to kill Miss Su, which provoked ’him.’
Mao Xize was in so much pain that he couldn’t stand, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, with his face turning extremely pale.
He crouched down, clutching his head, as his entire body started trembling.
He tried to communicate with ’him’ in his mind.
Finally, Mao Xize fainted from pain.
...
When Mao Xize woke up again, the battle had already ended.
Yue Wuhen and the others had killed Luo Liefeng and his group.
Including the Ant Clan Beastmen from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Su Muyao looked at Mao Xize and asked, "Mao Xize, what happened to you? Why did you faint in the alley? If we hadn’t found you in time, you might have been caught up in the battle."
The Sword Qi and superpower attacks could have easily taken Mao Xize’s life if unnoticed.
Mao Xize, in a daze, regained his senses and realized he was at his own residence.
The main reason was that Su Muyao and the others’ house was affected by the battle and had collapsed, clearly alerting the people of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, so they couldn’t stay in their original place.
Before leaving, they happened to see the unconscious Mao Xize not far away and brought him back to this house.
Night had fallen, and Su Muyao also wanted to ask Mao Xize some questions.
"Moreover, I checked you over; your body doesn’t have any issues."
Previously, Su Muyao had used her Wood Element Ability to heal Mao Xize’s injuries, so his body appeared fine overall.
It was just that his Spirit Sea was a bit chaotic, but it wasn’t a major problem.
Mao Xize said, "Miss Su, thank you for saving me again. I don’t know what happened. ’He’ suddenly woke up in my mind, and then I fainted from a headache..."
Upon hearing this, before Mao Xize could finish, Su Muyao’s heart tightened, "You’re saying, ’he’ in your mind woke up. Do you know what Secret Technique he used to enter the Barrier?"
Time waits for no one; once the Beastmen from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion react, they will surely send people over.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is a large force, with many powerful Ant Clan Beastmen supporting them. Once they realize the commotion here and come to exterminate, especially with those maddening drugs, they will be at a disadvantage.
Currently, their combined strength is insufficient to resist the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
But if she could absorb the Origin Power of the Immortal Crystal Ore, they wouldn’t have to fear the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s extermination, and they might even counter-attack.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had sent a dozen Ant Clan Beastmen, Luo Liefeng, and Ci Zhuo here to probe.
Thinking to themselves, if they could kill them, great; if not, it would mean their intentions weren’t pure.
Previous conversations in Mao Xize’s mind flashed back, "’He’ said he could take Miss Su inside."
"With ’his’ current strength, he can only take one person inside."
"And this Secret Technique is his inherited power; others cannot use it."
Su Muyao opened her mouth, initially wanting to ask if Yue Wuhen and the others could use this Secret Technique.
It seemed unnecessary to ask.
"Wasn’t ’he’ injured before? Is it possible this time?"
Mao Xize nodded, "Yes, ’he’ said it’s possible."
"Miss Su, ’he’ will definitely ensure your safe arrival at the Immortal Crystal Ore."
Though they could achieve their goal, for some reason, Su Muyao couldn’t help but feel her heart tightened.
Shen Ci’an said, "Wife, time waits for no one. We can’t hesitate; we must first gain the power of the Immortal Crystal Ore."
Shen Ci’an understood what would be most beneficial for his wife right now.
Though he also wanted to enter the Barrier together, since ’he’ could only take one person inside, naturally, it should be the wife.
Her true form is that of an Immortal Phoenix Beastman, capable of directly absorbing the power of the Immortal Crystal Ore without any conversion.
Mei Qingchen’s sacred eyes carried a deep hue. He steadied his mind, "Wife, we will guard outside the Barrier."
As long as anyone approaches there, they will kill.
Yue Wuhen softly said, "Don’t worry too much. In a critical moment, I will forcefully open the Barrier with the Witch Clan Seal."
Yue Wuhen knows when to use the Witch Clan Seal.
That would be when the wife is in danger, and the Ant Clan Beastmen from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion attack.
Su Muyao’s expression grew solemn. She absolutely couldn’t allow Yue Wuhen to sacrifice any more.
The same went for Shen Ci’an and the others.
The system also urged Su Muyao, "Host, don’t hesitate. Even if you hesitate, the Beastmen from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion won’t spare you all."
"Once you’ve strengthened, you can protect them in return."
"Moreover, that Black Cat Beastman may not necessarily be related to Xie Guixue, and if he gets injured, with your strength, you’ll have a way to heal him."
Listening to these words, Su Muyao nodded solemnly and looked at Mao Xize, "Please convey to ’him’ my request to take me into the Barrier. Consider it as me owing him a favor that I will repay in the future."
Mao Xize nodded.
In no time, he fell into a deep sleep.
Shortly after, a mass of black mist surged forth.
This black mist seemed like Demonic Qi, and then Mao Xize transformed into a Black Cat.
He glanced at Su Muyao and said, "Please follow me."
Su Muyao nodded, "Thank you."
This Black Cat, whether in gaze or speech tone, resembled the cat pet she had during the apocalypse.
But she knew they weren’t the same cat beast.
The apocalypse cat was just a cat and couldn’t talk.
But the current Black Cat is a Beastman of the Beast World.
The Black Cat leaped, and Su Muyao quickly followed him, traversing through the night.
Yue Wuhen and the others followed closely behind.
They all arrived outside the Barrier.
The Black Cat’s paw suddenly manifested slender black branches appearing to hold some power.
Then he slapped the position of his heart, drawing out Heart Blood, sketching some eerie symbols.
The Barrier opened a swirling entrance under his control.
He looked at Su Muyao, "It’s ready, please enter here."
As he spoke, his claws extended slender black branches, gradually encapsulating Su Muyao within.
They seemed to transform into mist, enveloping them all within.
Then he led Su Muyao through the Barrier this way.
But just after crossing the Barrier, the Black Cat Beastman coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
His body trembled, and his tail disappeared halfway.
Indicating he lost half his life.
But since his whole body was black, his tail entwined with black mist, plus under the night, Su Muyao didn’t notice his tail.
She just listened to his weakened breathing.
"You... are you okay?"
Su Muyao stepped forward, wanting to touch the Black Cat to observe his injuries.
But the Black Cat Beastman avoided her touch.
Su Muyao’s hand lingered stiffly in the air.
...
On the other side, outside the Barrier, Teng Lixuan and the others naturally saw those black branches earlier.
Teng Lixuan recovered from the shock and said, "He... has the bloodline of a Plant-type Beastman, and it’s a black plant."
"Didn’t it seem like the branches of the black tree totem imprinted on Mao Xize’s forehead?"
