Chapter 49: Hard Fight and Retreat
🕑 Added 2025-03-07 11:09:53 +0000 UTCLooking at the Millennium Crystal Bear pouncing towards Tang Wulin, Nan Fusheng used Steal on it.
The Millennium Crystal Bear’s body paused, but it still charged towards Tang Wulin with great momentum. However, this kind of direct collision was easily seen through, and Tang Wulin easily avoided it by leaping to the side.
At the same time, vines of blue silver grass swarmed out and entangled the feet of the Millennium Crystal Bear. The Millennium Crystal Bear, which was in a daze, was tripped all of a sudden.
“Puff!” At this moment, an invisible blade of light slashed its neck. The Crystal Bear woke up from its unconsciousness with pain, turned its head and roared at Xie Xie who was standing beside it.
Xie Xie shouted, “Stupid bear, come at me if you’re brave enough!” He swung the light dragon dagger in his hand again, and another blade of light shot out.
The Millennium Crystal Bear subconsciously exerted force, trying to break the Blue Silver Grass on its feet. Under normal circumstances, the Blue Silver Grass should have been broken directly.
But at this moment, a golden light appeared on Tang Wulin’s blue silver grass. Although it only lasted for a moment, the Millennium Crystal Bear was unable to break it in the first place.
The pause lasted only one second, and the next moment, the blue silver grass broke apart, but it still held it slightly.
As soon as the Crystal Bear slowed down, Xie Xie turned around and ran nimbly. His speed exploded, even faster than Gu Yue who used the wind element to speed up.
At the same time, a huge fireball exploded on the other side of the crystal bear’s head. Gu Yue also attacked from the other side.
Three people, respectively in three different directions, immediately made Crystal Bear furious, and he didn’t know who to chase.
“Xie Xie, attack its abdomen. Gu Yue, hit its eyes. Wulin, get ready and take care of it in one go.”
Nan Fusheng, who was standing far away, spoke loudly. He was not afraid that the crystal bear would hear his words. After all, the IQ of most of the thousand-year-old soul beasts was still at the level of wild beasts.
As Xie Xie changed his body shape, he swung out the Light Dragon Dagger and the Shadow Dragon Dagger at the same time. Two blade lights, one visible and one invisible, slashed towards the belly of the Millennium Crystal Bear at the same time.
With two “puffs”, the Crystal Bear was furious. It didn’t know who to deal with first. This time, it found its target.
He immediately took big strides and chased after Xie Xie.
At this moment, a group of dazzling fireballs flew straight towards its eyes. The fireballs were smaller than the previous ones, but there were many of them.
The crystal bear raised one of its paws to block in front of it, and lowered its head slightly. It had already lowered its head a little when its abdomen was attacked before, and now it lowered it even more.
At the same time, Tang Wulin threw out a piece of blue silver grass, hooked it on a branch, pulled his body, and as his body swung away, he had already circled behind the crystal bear.
At this moment, Tang Wulin held the hammer in his left hand to protect his chest, and golden light surged in his right hand, transforming into a golden dragon claw, which went straight to the back of the Millennium Crystal Bear’s neck and grabbed it.
Nan Fusheng also used the stealing technique directly from a distance.
Suddenly, the Millennium Crystal Bear fell completely forward, with the back of its neck completely exposed.
Success!
Tang Wulin was overjoyed. He lowered his right claw and grabbed the Millennium Crystal Bear by the back of its neck without hesitation.
The sound of "cracking" was heard almost instantly. Half of the Golden Dragon Claw’s claws grabbed into the neck, and the crushing effect took effect at the same time. It directly broke the cervical vertebrae of the Millennium Crystal Bear.
Is it over?
Xie Xie watched the Millennium Crystal Bear’s head suddenly fall forward, and with the sound of the cervical vertebra breaking, he immediately jumped up in excitement.
With the strongest strength of the four of them being no more than two rings, being able to kill such a powerful soul beast is definitely something to be proud of.
However, at this moment, a strong yellow halo suddenly burst out from the Millennium Crystal Bear.
The area covered by this halo was not very large, only about one meter away from the body, but it just covered Tang Wulin.
“No——” Gu Yue screamed. Tang Wulin’s body, which was covered by yellow light, suddenly condensed into a layer of dark yellow crystals, and the whole person remained in the same state as before, falling directly to the ground.
With a flash of silver light, Gu Yue appeared below where he fell, raising his arms to catch his body.
After turning into a crystal, Tang Wulin’s weight increased greatly, not to mention that he also had the weight of the Thousand Forged Silver Hammer in his left hand.
Gu Yue was knocked to the ground and pinned down, fainting with a muffled groan. However, she relied on her own body to withstand the force of Tang Wulin’s blow, so that his body did not break.
After being crystallized, as long as the body is not broken in a short period of time, the crystallization will gradually fade away. Therefore, the most terrifying thing about the crystal bear is the direct destruction after crystallization.
“Wulin, Gu Yue!” Xie Xie and Nan Fusheng from a distance rushed over and came to the two of them. They first worked together to move Tang Wulin away, and then pulled Gu Yue out from underneath.
Gu Yue’s eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, and her breath was weak. The blow just now obviously caused her great harm.
Nan Fusheng looked around and after a slight hesitation, he slapped the rescue signal device on the back of Gu Yue’s hand. Gu Yue’s body turned into a ray of light and disappeared into thin air.
Tang Wulin’s body was still in a crystallized state, and they were unable to help him teleport back.
At this moment, a series of rustling sounds were heard in the surrounding woods, as if something was approaching this side, and there were a lot of them.
What should I do? Wulin has been crystallized and can’t be teleported back now. What should I do?
Xie Xie held the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger tightly in both hands and subconsciously looked at Nan Fusheng beside him.
“Xie Xie, your soul power is almost exhausted, you go first, I will take care of Wulin.”
Nan Fusheng said.
“Ha, are you kidding? How can I let you be the only hero in this situation? We should die together. I am a real man who stands tall and proud.”
There was some confusion in Xie Xie’s eyes at first, but after hearing Nan Fusheng’s words, his eyes gradually became firm.
“Okay, let’s hold on together for this period of time. Once Wulin’s crystallization is resolved, we will retreat immediately.”
Xie Xie knelt on one knee in front of Tang Wulin without replying. He wanted to conserve his energy as much as possible. At the same time, Nan Fusheng also used the sight of the big blue bird hovering in the sky to see clearly that it was a group of wolves that were attacking.
Soon, dark green figures slowly appeared from all directions. There were at least dozens of them. They were green wolves.
The hair on its back was blue-black, and its yellow eyes were filled with coldness and cruelty. It slowly approached this side step by step.
They did not attack Nan Fusheng first. A dozen blue wolves dragged the corpse of half a hundred-year-old unicorn into the woods. A dozen of them also surrounded Xie Xie.
Blue Wolf, a ten-year soul beast. Among the ten-year soul beasts, it has a strong attack power, a fierce personality, and lives in groups.
The powerful blue wolves are able to cultivate to the level of a hundred-year soul beast. They mainly feed on carrion, or to put it bluntly, they pick up the scavengers in the soul beast forest.
Xie Xie held the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hands to protect himself. He looked at the approaching blue wolves and shouted, “You can take the body of this crystal bear away, but if you dare to attack us, don’t blame me for being rude.”
He didn't care whether low-level soul beasts like the Blue Wolf could understand his words. Anyway, any delay was a long one. As long as they could wait until the crystallization on Tang Wulin’s body faded, they could escape.
However, the Blue Wolves were obviously more interested in the two of them than the Millennium Crystal Bear. Or maybe they just didn’t understand what he was saying. The encirclement was getting closer and closer. Looking at those cold eyes, Xie Xie clearly felt his heartbeat speed up.
We can’t wait any longer. As the saying goes, the first to strike is the strongest.
The light dragon dagger in his right hand slashed out like lightning, and a light dragon blade slashed towards a green wolf in front. At the same time, Xie Xie jumped sideways and pounced on the green wolf closest to him.
“Puff!” A big gash was made on the neck of the Green Wolf in front of him by the Light Dragon Blade. He let out a mournful wail and fell to the ground with blood splattering everywhere.
Xie Xie’s movements were extremely agile. The giant green wolf he pounced on saw him coming and immediately opened its mouth and spurted out a green wind blade.
As Xie Xie rushed forward, he tilted his body to avoid the wind blade, and bent his upper body backward to dodge the attack from the side by the blue wolf.
The Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hands swept past, and the flying blue wolf was gutted. At the same time, he circled to the side of the blue wolf in front, and with a flick of his wrist, the sharp Shadow Dragon Dagger pierced through the side of its neck, severing the artery. Instantly, blood spurted from the blue wolf’s neck, and it was obvious that it was dead.
From the moment they attacked to the moment they succeeded, three blue wolves fell. But at the same time, the attacks of more than a dozen blue wolves in the distance were also completed.
I saw more than a dozen green wolves rushing towards Xie Xiehou at the same time. At the same time, the wind blades in the mouths of more than a dozen green wolves in the distance had already taken shape and were about to be sprayed out.
Large-scale consciousness theft!
A strange wave suddenly controlled the dozen or so blue wolves that were spewing wind blades at a critical moment, causing them to lose consciousness directly when launching the wind blades.
I saw wind blades flying everywhere, some of them even attacked the blue wolf who was about to besiege Xie Xie, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
Xie Xie was not idle either. While the wolves were in chaos, he immediately flew out and killed the blue wolves that were approaching the three people one by one.
As Xie Xie continued to swing the Light Dragon Dagger and the Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hands, the number of wolves continued to decrease, which made Xie Xie sigh at the benefits of having Nan Fusheng as a teammate.
Whenever he wanted to kill a green wolf, the green wolf he killed would suddenly stop moving before it could take action. When Xie Xie rushed in front of it, he could easily take the life of the green wolf by just swinging his dagger.
When the blue wolves rushed forward, they would suddenly stop collectively. Even if it was only for a short moment, it gave Xie Xie enough time to react, break out of the encirclement, and kill the wolves approaching the three people.
As time went on, Xie Xie’s strength began to fail, and his entire body began to be stained with blood. Most of the blood was from the wolf pack, and only a small part was his own.
Even Nan Fusheng was beginning to feel a little tired, well, tired from acting. Although he was still full of energy, this was obviously not in line with the performance of a first-ring spirit master, so he acted out of breath.
Given that he could only use this one ability, this was the limit of what he could do.
Fortunately, he had noticed Tang Wulin, and the dark yellow crystals on his body began to fade away.
When Tang Wulin’s senses began to recover, the first thing he smelled was a strong smell of blood.
Then he saw a figure whose whole body had turned blood red, struggling to hold on.
“Okay, retreat quickly.”
Xie Xie, who was gasping for breath, pressed the distress signal without hesitation when he heard Nan Fusheng’s words. The next moment, his eyes went dark and he knew nothing.
Before Tang Wulin could react, Nan Fusheng pressed his distress signal.
After that, Nan Fusheng also slapped the rescue signal device with his backhand, and his eyes went dark as well, and he disappeared into the forest. A series of green wind blades passed by where he was just now, but lost their target.
