Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and Zhao Manyan were in a dire situation at the moment... Who would have thought that after breaking through the encirclement, so many Lizard Demon Skulls would continuously rush at them?
They were fortunate that Xiaobai's combat strength was formidable; otherwise, if it were just the three of them, they would probably have already become food for the demon beasts.
"I'm out of magic energy..."
"Me too..."
Zhao Manyan was sprawled on Xiaobai's back, and Mu Nujiao was kneeling beside it. Both of them had reached their limits. Even their magic tools had been used up, and looking at the hundreds of Lizard Demon Skulls still in front of them, their eyes were filled with despair.
Not only had their magic energy been depleted, but Xiaobai was also nearing its limit, and Mu Ningxue's magic energy was also running low. In other words, they would soon be defenseless.
Mu Ningxue looked back at the two of them and sighed, "I'm sorry... I've dragged you down..."
Mu Nujiao didn't speak, and Zhao Manyan also didn't complain, because what was the use of complaining at this moment? Moreover, to be blunt, if it weren't for Tang Miao and Mu Ningxue, they would have already perished.
First, upon arriving, they encountered the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon, then they met the Devil Army Commander Lu Nian... One could say that this expedition was practically a suicide mission...
Seeing that both of them were silent, Mu Ningxue didn't say anything more. Even if she wanted to risk her life to fire an arrow and clear a path for them, she couldn't do it anymore...
"Phew~"
Zhao Manyan let out a slight breath, his voice devoid of emotion as he said, "The day we arrived here, we actually had no chance of survival. To have lived an extra two days is already quite good."
"Roar~"
Just then, Xiaobai let out a roar to the sky.
The three of them thought Xiaobai couldn't hold on any longer, and their hearts sank...
"Rumble..."
Just as the three of them had despaired and were ready to become food, a peal of thunder rang out. Hearing the sound, the three of them paused... This sudden thunderous roar certainly wasn't released by a demon beast... After all, the Giant Lizard didn't have lightning attributes.
At that moment, they simultaneously looked up, only to see Tang Miao, who was supposed to be fighting the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon, had somehow appeared above them?
And the Giant Lizards in front of them, under the bombardment of lightning, all collapsed to the ground. Before the three of them could rejoice, Xiaobai suddenly accelerated, carrying them outwards.
Tang Miao continued to clear a path for them. Without the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon, these Giant Lizards were like headless flies. Under the lightning bombardment, some died, some fled...
In a few breaths, the situation suddenly reversed...
After Tang Miao blasted open a path, he immediately jumped onto Xiaobai's back. Looking at Xiaobai, whose white fur was now stained red...
Tang Miao stroked its fur and said, "Once we get back, I'll find a way to help you advance!"
Xiaobai let out a few low growls in response.
Clearly, hearing Tang Miao's reward, Xiaobai felt that its injuries were instantly insignificant. Once it advanced to the Commander level, it could establish its own clan in its world! It, who was originally almost powerless, instantly galloped away...
Of course, this wasn't just because of its mental tenacity, but also because Tang Miao was channeling magic energy into it.
After galloping out of the Giant Lizard horde, Tang Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. He looked back at the three of them and asked, "Are you all okay?"
"Tang Miao..."
Mu Nujiao, excited to have survived, directly threw herself into his arms...
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Tang Miao gently patted Mu Nujiao's soft back to comfort her, "It's okay, Jiao Jiao. Didn't I say, I'm here!"
"Mm-hmm..." Mu Nujiao, feeling a bit like crying tears of joy, nodded in response.
This feeling of surviving a great catastrophe was truly wonderful, no wonder she was so excited... In fact, it wasn't just Mu Nujiao; even Mu Ningxue and Zhao Manyan were exceptionally thrilled. Who would want to die when they could live?
After her excitement, Mu Nujiao felt something was off... Especially the hand on her back, what was originally a gentle pat had turned into a caress... Mu Nujiao immediately pushed Tang Miao away and glared at him, expressing her displeasure.
However, neither Mu Ningxue nor Zhao Manyan seemed to notice. Both were simply relieved to be alive.
It wasn't until the four of them returned to the previous church that the other three finally completely relaxed.
Tang Miao's consumption wasn't actually that great, and he hadn't expected that defeating the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon would be so simple. Of course, the main reason was that the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon was arrogant and directly swallowed his destructive lightning magic. One should know that the explosive power of his lightning magic was equivalent to a high-level lightning magic spell!
If it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been so easy for Tang Miao to defeat it.
When the three of them learned that Tang Miao had almost killed the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon, they all secretly cursed him as a "freak..."
Mu Nujiao sighed, "If it weren't for us holding you back, perhaps you could have killed it."
Tang Miao shook his head and said, "No chance. There were too many Giant Lizards. If it weren't for the Snow Maiden's fusion allowing me to fly, even I would have been overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of these demon beasts..."
Without world-destroying magic, dealing with thousands of demon beasts was truly exhausting... Of course, he was also fortunate to have many magic elements, allowing him to continuously cast spells in rotation. Otherwise, with only two intermediate-level skills, even with great lethality, facing over a hundred, there's no question, he'd have to turn and run!
"Alright, you all rest well and recover your magic energy. Zhao Manyan will take over guard duty in the latter half of the night."
The three of them nodded simultaneously. This place was relatively safe; after leaving Jinlin City, there had been no activity all last night, so there shouldn't be any problems today.
However, it was still the wilderness, so someone had to stand guard. This kind of thing naturally couldn't be left to the two girls, and Zhao Manyan had no complaints whatsoever. Or rather, as long as they didn't take him back to Jinlin City, anything was fine!
After Tang Miao left the church, he began to check his gains for the day. Although it had been a bit dangerous today, there were also benefits. Three Servant-level spirit essences, one Warrior-level spirit essence. And the remaining fragments directly strengthened his lightning star dust to forty particles!
With just nine more particles, his intermediate-level lightning magic would reach level four. Coupled with the bonus from the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, even the power of the Yaksha would be almost comparable to high-level lightning magic. And the third level of "Wild Dance" could almost be said to surpass the first level of high-level magic!
