Everyone was a bit tired, so Silver Moon found a relatively secluded spot to rest. "Let's begin meditating here to recover our strength. We'll head deeper tomorrow."
I closed my eyes, and indeed, today's gains were much stronger than my usual training. Breaking through to Intermediate Warrior was not easy, and it only got harder from here. I could clearly feel that Pure Sound was becoming more harmonious with my body; I was slowly absorbing its pure essence. The feeling of exhaustion gradually faded away, replaced by a refreshing sensation.
After a while, I opened my eyes; the three of them were still meditating. I looked around out of boredom and thought about my parents, longing to go home. That timid Xi Meng, who would believe I would be here today, hunting monsters among a Horde of Monsters and ghosts? I kept reminiscing about my human life. Forget it; I want to go back as soon as possible. I inadvertently glanced to the left front, where Silver Moon was sitting cross-legged under a tree with his eyes closed. I watched him, wondering who shone brighter in the human world—the moon in the night sky or him.
Suddenly, Silver Moon opened his eyes and looked at me. I froze, staring at him without realizing I had forgotten to look away. Could it be that those purple eyes were captivating? Then he smiled at me, and I snapped back to reality, awkwardly lowering my head. Really, why am I so weak? Just as I was about to stand up, a strong sense of fear surged within me. I looked at Silver Moon; he was also frowning deeply when he suddenly spoke, "Danger! Ant Beast mutation has begun; we need to run south, quickly!"
Xiaopu and Fire Fan immediately reacted as well. "Fire Fan, quickly summon your unicorn and take Xiaopu and Xi Meng. Give me your hand." Silver Moon calmly commanded, and for the first time, we acted in unison. Without hesitation, I grabbed Silver Moon's hand. Oh my, his mount was actually the legendary Qilin! But there was no time to admire it; we started running wildly with Xiaopu following closely behind.
The speed of the Qilin and unicorn was fast, but unfortunately, the number of these seemingly small ants was overwhelming as they surrounded us from all sides. More and more mutated Ant Beasts closed in layer by layer; no one dared to act recklessly anymore. "Fight your way out; otherwise, we will die," Silver Moon's voice remained calm. Yes, I couldn't panic.
We began desperately attacking the Ant Beasts, but there were too many; for every one we killed, another wave would come in. This reckless behavior was too insane. This is what made these creatures so terrifying—they would fight to the death wherever they went. We had to find a way out; this couldn't go on like this—no one could help us. This was the rule of the Demon Emperor Silver Hall. The guards that Grandpa Ronda sent with me couldn't come in either. The royal prince was still here; I was just a guest of a family—who would care? What should I do?
Slowly, everyone began to tire out; Xiaopu clearly couldn't hold on any longer as she struggled to chant her spells while Fire Fan appeared somewhat flustered too. Although the Ant Beasts weren't strong individually, this massive swarm consisted of mutated ones. I couldn't fully unleash the energy of the Bone Flute. Was I really going to die here before completing my mission?
"Xi Meng, I'm watching you. Have you forgotten your mission? You need to grow stronger; you promised me you'd wait for me to take you back." It was Qiu's voice; no matter what happened, I had to fight once more. My family was waiting for me—I had to go back! Absolutely not! I cannot die here!
Right! There it is! That flesh-colored red-eyed creature is the Queen Ant. As long as we kill it, the Ant Swarm will disperse. But what if we anger them and they become even more frenzied? I noticed that Silver Moon had also spotted the Queen Ant. We exchanged glances, and he nodded slightly. Trembling, I picked up the Bone Flute. The Pure Sound flowed rapidly within me as my mind focused on repelling them—repel them... The Bone Flute emitted a strong white light; I saw the shock on Xiaopu and Fire Fan's faces and Silver Moon's complex expression before everything faded into glory.
"Xi Meng, wake up! Wake up..." As my vision blurred open, Xiaopu's anxious face appeared before me.
“Xiaopu, where is this? Are we safe?”
“This is a cave, we are safe. Don't you remember what happened before?”
“I forgot, what happened later?” I didn't want to bring it up, afraid of revealing something.
“It's fine, nothing much. Just rest up and we'll set off,” Silver Moon interrupted Xiaopu and said to me. I got up, “I'm fine now, we can set off. Let's go.” Strange, Fire Fan was unusually quiet; why has she been staring at me?
Finally, the deadly Ant Beast Disaster has passed, but this sudden riot is too strange. If that's the case, the academy should not have anticipated this; otherwise, there would be such Ant Swarms every year, and the Demon Emperor Silver Hall would be empty, which would mean total annihilation for the Students.
The journey was relatively quiet, perhaps because the disaster had just ended. Silver Moon frowned all the way, as if deep in thought. Does he also find the Ant Swarm strange?
In a silver-white palace, a young girl’s figure was reflected on the floor of the hall. A golden-yellow shimmering long dress lay on the ground as she murmured softly, “It should be here soon.” Then, a delicate-looking girl entered and whispered, “Your Majesty, Lord Qiu has arrived.”
The figure chuckled lightly, “Let him in.”
“Siyimo, you promised me.”
“Prisoner, you’re still the same. Why do you question me as soon as you arrive? Don’t you trust me?” The figure turned around; her face wasn't particularly enchanting but rather ethereal in beauty, pure like an angel.
“Don’t tell me this time’s incident in the Beast Forest has nothing to do with you.” The Prisoner’s voice was cold, lacking any warmth.
“Indeed, you care about that little girl. Isn’t she fine? Besides, my nephew Silver Moon is here; how could I harm them? I just wanted to help you unlock her potential; that makes the game more interesting, doesn’t it?” Siyimo’s voice didn’t match her appearance; though soft, it carried an alluring undertone.
"You just remember the promise; let's not involve anyone else in our matters." After saying this, the prisoner turned to leave but suddenly stopped and said, "Siyimo, you should think carefully about how to explain this to the Demon Emperor Silver Hall. This time, you've certainly caused them considerable losses, Student."
Siyimo stared at the disappearing figure of the prisoner for a long time, then seemed to speak to herself, "Prisoner, I will definitely destroy what you wish to protect; this is what you owe me." The butterfly that had been resting on her suddenly flew up as if startled. However, after just a few flaps, it turned to dust. Siyimo laughed loudly, "None of you will escape."
