“Moon Demon Arrow, the flames of Inferno Flame!”
I dare say that Silver Moon put all her strength into the first strike, the flames scorching the earth. Even the residual heat from the fire was unbearable for me. Damn it, I can't move at all!
“Not enough, still not enough! Little Doll, are you going to keep scratching?” The monster laughed even more wildly, seemingly not taking Silver Moon seriously at all.
“Let’s try this.” Silver Moon said coldly.
“Moon Demon Arrow, the Ice Spear of the Frozen Abyss!”
The sharp ice arrow shot towards the monster in an instant, with such force that if it were me, I would probably be unable to dodge this strike—too fast, too strong! It could pierce through anything with its sharpness!
“I told you, you can’t!” the monster bellowed.
Then ‘Bai Li’’s body Swiftly expanded, tearing through its clothes, rapidly growing a massive black tail covered in scales that glimmered with a cold light.
What kind of monster is this? I couldn't discern its full form.
Could it be that this monster intends to use its tail to block Silver Moon's attack?
I guessed it underestimated Silver Moon.
The arrow quickly aimed at the monster's forehead. It calmly raised its tail to block Silver Moon's attack.
Just as it was about to mock again, an arrow pierced through its tail.
"Ah, ah, ah!" the monster howled.
"I will kill you!" The monster glared with blood-red eyes, wishing to tear Silver Moon apart.
"Come on."
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Silver Moon. Please don't let anything happen to you, Moon!
"I will eat you! Hiss—hiss—"
Oh my god, this monster is a Black Giant Serpent. This type is definitely not small; it seems to have lived for at least ten thousand years. No wonder its intelligence is so high.
"Moon Demon Arrow, unique skill, Break—Soul—Seal!"
This was incredible, this strike!
If it were to take the hit directly, the result would surely be soul scattering!
In that moment, I realized I really didn't understand Silver Moon. The gentle and refined him, the solemn and stern him, the calm and composed him—he was always the one who had everything under control. Yet now, he seemed ferociously mad.
This Soul Seal Breaker nearly exhausted all his Soul Power. Seeing Silver Moon in such a slight disarray for the first time felt strange to me.
Previously, he was like a prisoner, a lofty idol, so I never dared to take his so-called affection to heart.
Slowly, I have come to realize that he can also be hurt.
A massive sphere of light surged toward the giant serpent, not allowing it any chance to evade.
"Ah!" The heart-wrenching wail echoed; perhaps this monster would no longer be able to cause trouble.
I sighed in relief as I watched Silver Moon approach me step by step. This time, I actually met his gaze without flinching.
Not good!
"Get away, Moon—!" I shouted desperately, wanting to push him aside, but I couldn't move.
The giant serpent that had seemingly died suddenly revived, showing no signs of injury. Strangely, it had turned silver!
"Your Highness, be careful!" Seeing the giant serpent charge at Silver Moon, Zhen'er unexpectedly lunged forward, pushing Silver Moon out of the way and getting struck heavily by the serpent's tail!
"Zhen'er!" I shouted.
Silver Moon seemed to snap back to reality and quickly turned to Zhen's side.
I helplessly lowered my head; this time, Zhen'er must be seriously injured.
Yin Yue kept calling out Zhen'er’s name, continuously channeling Soul Energy to her. It was clear that he was anxious.
But I must not lose my composure!
If this giant serpent truly possessed great power, it would not rely on Holy Spirit Village for survival, nor would it intentionally try to separate us.
Moreover, it had mentioned being severely injured before; I needed to think this through carefully.
Yes, and what about the Cursed Child? Why did it need the Cursed Child, and after death?!
There could only be one explanation.
It must rely on the power of the Cursed Child to survive, yet the Cursed Child is its natural enemy!
Yes, that must be it.
"Yue, quickly go find White Soul," I shouted to Yin Yue without considering much else.
Sure enough, the giant serpent's body stiffened as it glared at me menacingly.
"What are you thinking?" It approached me, its massive jaws parting to reveal a flickering tongue, a foul stench and icy coldness enveloping my surroundings.
I forced myself to remain calm and said, "I already know your secret." Although I wasn't entirely sure, at least I could temporarily hold it at bay.
"What does it matter? Do you think I want to separate you? They haven't come out for so long; don't you understand? They are trapped in my illusion."
I knew that this snake would not easily show any weakness.
"You can't keep them trapped forever; you need the Cursed Child, don't you?" I looked up at the giant snake. How could I be cowardly and afraid at this moment?!
"Heh, indeed, I needed the power of the Cursed Child before, but not anymore. Once I leave, the illusion will unravel on its own. But right now, what I want is— you."
Silver Moon was right; it had set its sights on me, which is why it hadn't killed me yet.
Looking at the severely injured Zhen'er and the guilt-ridden Silver Moon beside me, I said, "Alright, I'll go with you, but you must release everyone immediately."
The giant snake laughed, a sound that was unpleasant to hear. "Fine, I really don't have the energy to waste any longer."
As it spoke, its disgusting tongue brushed against my face.
I wanted to recoil in disgust.
"Did I ever say I would let you go?" Silver Moon slowly spoke from the side.
He gently leaned Zhen'er aside and stepped in front of me and the giant snake.
"What ability do you have left to fight me? I'll spare your life; now get lost!" The giant snake's tone was furious, likely still resentful over Silver Moon's previous attack. However, it truly didn't have time to waste any longer.
"Zuoer, come out!" Silver Moon called.
Right, how could I forget? Silver Moon has a magical beast, the Qilin!
However, in his current state, victory is not guaranteed.
"Moon, stop fighting. I'll go with him."
Yes, I admit I am scared, scared that Silver Moon might be in danger.
"I won't let you go."
Silver Moon's firm tone sounded like he was stating the most ordinary thing, but my heart kept trembling.
"It seems that if I don't kill you today, you won't give up."
"That's right."
"Good. Show me everything you've got!"
Before me, Silver Moon looked exhausted. Yes, he only had one chance to strike!
"Zuoer, Illusion Form."
What?! This Qilin Beast has actually reached the Seventh Level of Illusion?
The Qilin, which had just appeared exceptionally fierce, instantly transformed into a humanoid form.
It was just a small doll, yet its expression was extremely proud, looking down contemptuously at the giant serpent.
The giant serpent had already lost in terms of momentum. I was delighted; there was still a chance!
Zuoer spoke up, "Abomination, do you want to fight me?"
The giant serpent did seem a bit afraid, but it did not back down. "Hmph, your true form is exceptional, but in this shape, you're just a little kid to me."
Yin Yue frowned, and I secretly thought it was bad. It was clear at a glance that Zuoer's illusion form was recent and indeed not that strong. If given some time to grow, this giant serpent might not be enough for him to handle.
Zuoer stopped speaking and prepared to strike at any moment.
"You are still too young; it's no wonder you can't see my true form. Considering your family is an ancient beast, I'll let it go this time. I don't want to fight you."
Could it be that this giant serpent also has a significant background? Or is it just trying to deceive us?
Zuoer followed Yin Yue's command and remained unfazed.
While all attention was focused on us, we overlooked one point: it was a cunning snake, always calculating.
The gap opened, and it instantly lunged towards Zhen'er, its massive serpent tail coiling around her, capable of crushing her body with just a little more force.
"I only want that girl. Hand her over to me, and I will let all of you go," the giant serpent hissed dangerously, constantly warning us.
Seeing the hesitant Silver Moon made my heart ache. I shouldn't be so selfish; after all, Zhen'er was injured while trying to save Silver Moon. Yet, I still held some hope for Silver Moon's choice.
Watching the silent Silver Moon, Zuoer seemed to be in a dilemma as well, glancing between me and Zhen'er.
Silver Moon turned around, his eyes filled with pain. Seeing his struggle was unbearable, and I spoke up.
"Let her go. I'll go with you."
The giant serpent circled in disbelief before daring to come closer.
"I keep my word."
With that, I sighed, unable to look at Silver Moon again. I feared seeing the guilt in his eyes and my own disappointment.
The giant serpent slowly exhaled towards me and said, "Come over here yourself."
I gritted my teeth against the pain and took slow steps toward the giant serpent.
As I passed by Silver Moon, just one step away from crossing over him, he grabbed my arm.
"I'm sorry, Xi Meng."
I could feel all of his pain.
I shook my head, looking away, and said, "It's okay." But, Yue, you promised to protect me; you broke your word.
Feeling Silver Moon pulling me back with force, I could not take another step forward.
"Xi Meng, this is what I owe Zhen'er. If I can't save you, I will never die after you."
I didn't know what the tears streaming down my face were. No, I shouldn't have tears.
Silver Moon let go of my hand, and I left without pausing.
Before I could react, the giant serpent threw Zhen'er towards Zuoer and instantly wrapped around me, taking me away.
Before losing consciousness, there was a sentence that lingered in my heart but remained unspoken.
"Yue, this is enough."
Yes, in the end, I couldn't bring myself to blame him.
