"Step aside, do not make me say it a second time." Divine Wind’s handsome face was already covered in worry. "My King, you cannot leave the city! I just received news that the cause of this Beast Tide is likely a Commander-level Demon Beast General," a few guards from Xianju Country stubbornly stayed by Divine Wind’s side, unwilling to back down. As Divine Wind returned inside the city, he notified the Hunter Soldier Branch about the situation with the Beast Tide, and the Branch immediately released a few Spiritual Magic Cranes. Spiritual Magic Cranes are a kind of paper crane painted with Sound Transmission Magic and Image Magic, capable of detecting enemy movements from afar. According to the investigation by the Magic Paper Cranes, for some unknown reason, the Beast Tide moved in the direction opposite to Daoye Mountain Guard City, and among them, a Commander-level Poisonous Beast was discovered. It has been a long time since a General Level Demon Beast has appeared on the continent. The Elf Clan, although magical, fears poisonous beasts even more than humans due to their physical constitution. If they weren’t dragging him back, Divine Wind would have already escaped smoothly, yet his heart had long since flown outside the city. A Commander-level Beast General, Divine Wind regretted it immensely, he shouldn’t have left the little girl outside. If something were to happen to her, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life. "My King, you are the last Elf inheritor of the Shenfeng lineage, you cannot, for your personal reasons, disregard the continuation of the entire Wind Element Elf clan," General Batuo earnestly advised. "Batuo, it’s already too late," Divine Wind’s face showed helplessness, his light green eyes revealed a sentiment hard to read, "When I left Xianju last time, the High Priest had said that I would encounter someone who would make me pause, and I think I already have." The Wind Elf, among all elves, is the most restless and most unsteady. But even as capricious as the wind, once it finds the person who makes it want to stay, it will always protect them by their side. If that person is gone, the wind would also have lost its life. The figure of Divine Wind flashed and disappeared. General Batuo frantic with urgency, after a long moment, helplessly waved his hand, signaling the people of Xianju to immediately leave the city and chase after the whereabouts of King Divine Wind. By the lake, the battle between the Dark Crown Prince and the Centipede Ant General had also reached a tipping point. The Dark Crown Prince, wielding a Fighting Energy Shield, was like a war god in this world, invincible. His Fighting Energy Shield blocked the attack of Beast Ants from all directions, and countless Flying Ants collided with the Fighting Energy Shield, smashing their heads bloody. Soon, the ground was filled with the bodies of the Beast Ants. Facing the heavy casualties of his subordinates, the Centipede Ant General ground its teeth furiously. The hundred monstrous legs beneath it wriggled, moving nimbly on the battlefield, avoiding the Dark Crown Prince’s attacks time and again. It spat out several streams of venom; the liquid touched the Fighting Energy Shield, instantly melting a corner of the shield. Such powerful venom, previously it had melted the Wind Wings condensed from Magic Elements, it was unexpectedly also effective against the Fighting Energy Shield formed through illusion. The Fighting Energy Shield of the Dark Crown Prince was quickly shattered by the venom spray, and with the shield damaged, the Beast Ants regrouped and launched wave after wave of attacks towards Dugu Xiu. Hiss--Another spray of venom landed on Dugu Xiu’s leg, sweeping him with an excruciating corroding pain. Dugu Xiu staggered, his vision blurred, the venom of the Centipede Ant General was much more potent than he imagined. Dugu Xiu was not a man to linger in battle. Aware that he was poisoned, he quickly pressed several major points on his chest to prevent the poison from spreading. He then leaped towards the lake behind him, his tall figure sinking into the water. The cold lake water engulfed his consciousness, and just before he fell unconscious, Dugu Xiu felt someone supporting his body, rapidly diving deeper into the water. His life, just barely saved. This was the first reaction of Dugu Xiu upon waking up, not yet having the chance to relish the feeling of surviving a disaster, Dugu Xiu saw those indifferent eyes. A pair of eyes bright as the morning stars. The one sizing herself up was the female Mage left behind by the Divine Wind King. Her appearance was unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, she had a pair of impressively memorable eyes. The Dark Crown Prince couldn’t help but feel it unfair for those bright eyes; compared to them, Yun Sheng’s appearance was too ordinary. Such women, the Dark Crown Prince had a bunch at his beck and call. "Get lost," Dugu Xiu barked harshly when he found Yun Sheng examining his wound. But as soon as he spoke, the pain from his leg struck him, and looking at his thigh, the wound had already festered. The venom from the Centipede Ant General was extremely toxic, it was like concentrated sulfuric acid, corroding a huge hole in Dugu Xiu’s leg. "You’re injured and need treatment," Yun Sheng spoke in a definitive tone of a doctor, her glance warning the Dark Crown Prince not to move rashly. The Centipede Ant General’s poison was peculiar; Yun Sheng had already checked it, and it also carried a portion of Dark Power. The Dark Crown Prince, a martial practitioner, had a robust physique, but tainted with elements of Dark Magic, his body couldn’t heal instantly. If dragged out for too long, his body would gradually decay until death. Yun Sheng took out Mandela Juice, intending to anesthetize the Dark Crown Prince, but he swept the medicine bottle from her hand, knocking it over, "Don’t pretend to be benevolent, I don’t need your medicine," the Dark Crown Prince was highly cautious, unwilling to use any medicine from Yun Sheng. "One hour, just one hour, and your left leg will be completely rotted; half a day later, your lower body will be completely paralyzed; one day later, no one in this world can save you," Yun Sheng declared emphatically. The Dark Crown Prince hesitated. Although he didn’t know much about beast poison, the toxin on his leg was quite severe; at this moment, he could no longer feel the pain in his leg. He had traveled to Daoye Mountain alone; his subordinates and the accompanying Imperial Physician were all hundreds of miles away. At this moment, the only person who could save him was this mysterious female Mage. The Dark Crown Prince was silent. Yun Sheng crouched down again, tearing the trousers on his leg. This time, the Dark Crown Prince did not dodge. A severe twitch crossed the Dark Crown Prince’s face. Yun Sheng bowed her head, her hand now wielding a strange knife. Upon seeing that knife, the Dark Crown Prince immediately recognized it—it was the same knife he had seen in the Magic Light Axis, the one that cut off Hei Si’s wrist. It was her! The Dark Crown Prince recognized Yun Sheng as the Doll Hunter dubbed Bloody Lolita. No wonder the Divine Wind had been repeatedly calling her little Lolita. The Dark Crown Prince’s hand lifted. Yun Sheng, completely focused, cut through the rotten flesh on the Dark Crown Prince’s wound. She did not notice the changes in the Dark Crown Prince’s expressions and mindset. Her hand shook violently, and like a butterfly shuttle, Yun Sheng’s knife glided over the rotten flesh, the pain shooting straight to his head. Even a tough man like the Dark Crown Prince could not help but grimace and gasp in cold air. "Endure it, it will stop hurting soon," unconsciously, Yun Sheng used the tone of a doctor to a patient. Her voice was very gentle, drastically different from her previous strong tone, touching something in the Dark Crown Prince’s heart, subtly stirring his emotions.
