The originally awkward group of four suddenly had three more people intervene, and the two sides were still rivals, making the atmosphere tense.
"Oh no!"
"This is bad!"
Red Demon and Uncle Wu said in unison, immediately entering a state of alert.
"Xi Meng, be careful!" Xiao Yin warned.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in, causing everything around to become blurry. In the distance, many plants were uprooted and then shredded to nothing.
"What is this?!" I shouted loudly.
"This is terrible; we just arrived and already encountered one of the 'Void' Four Great Difficulties!" Old Fu said.
"It's the Eye of Annihilation; everything in its path is destroyed," Uncle Wu explained.
"What should we do?!" I asked in panic.
"Run!" Uncle Wu shouted.
"No way, Old Five. Ananda and I will stay behind to hold it off; you take the girl and go first!" Old Fu insisted.
"You all go ahead. I never expected this body to hold out for long," Uncle Wu said.
"Hah, you can still be so sentimental at a time like this. It's quite pathetic. Old Fu, I advise you to leave quickly. He's nothing but a useless person now, without even his arms. What good will it do to escape?" Red Demon said.
"Red Demon, shut up! Old Five is trying to save Northern King. Who are you people, hiding further away than anyone else when the fighting starts?"
"Enough! Stop arguing. If you keep this up, no one will escape!" Uncle Wu shouted.
...I don't think I have much time left.
"Xiao Yin, can you withstand this wind?"
"Normally, yes, but your body can't handle it now. They need to help me."
Under the power of Eye of Annihilation, everyone knew that running would be futile, so they stood still. In fact, I knew that the six of them were considering cooperating; it was just that no one spoke up first.
"Xiao Yin, we’ll go first!"
"Defense, Golden Garment!" A golden light enveloped the surroundings; the area wasn't large but was enough for us to take shelter.
The wind remained violent and fierce, but at least the wind flowing around us wasn't as sharp anymore. However, I couldn't hold on for long.
"Old Fu, help me," Uncle Wu said.
Old Fu moved to my diagonal right front, while Ananda positioned himself at my diagonal left rear, forming a slanted line with Old Fu.
"Get ready," said Red Demon.
The pair of Dark-Clad Man and Woman nodded, one moving diagonally to the left front, and the other to the diagonal back, forming a cross shape with Old Fu and Ananda.
Finally, Uncle Wu and Red Demon stood respectively in front of and behind me. Thus, I stood at the center, forming a hexagon.
I had used this "Shield" formation once before, but it involved using an Underworld Beast. Its shape resembled a shield, providing extremely high defense and sealing off all directions around me. The positions of Uncle Wu and Red Demon were crucial; I would typically use an Advanced Nether Beast.
However, Uncle Wu's body... seemed to be injured. I wasn't sure if he could hold on.
The Eye of Annihilation continued to swirl, showing no signs of diminishing.
"Just hold on a little longer; it will pass soon."
"Old Five, are you okay?!" Old Fu asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I could hear Uncle Wu gritting his teeth to endure.
"Hey, cripple, don't let us die because of you!" Red Demon said.
"This isn't to help you; it's for my own sake," Red Demon continued.
Then, the line between Uncle Wu and Red Demon visibly brightened, transmitting from the front to the back as Red Demon transferred Soul Energy to Uncle Wu.
Finally, when I was utterly exhausted, the wind speed finally decreased.
I slumped to the ground; it wasn't just me, everyone was too tired to continue walking.
"Little girl, who are you? I've never seen you before," Red Demon asked from the side.
I looked at him in confusion. Was he talking to me?!
"Yes, you. You're the only living person here."
"I just joined—"
"Don't mind him," Old Fu interrupted me.
"What? Are you also one of Northern King's people?" Red Demon continued to ask.
Suddenly, two groups of eyes turned to me. Right, I should at least be identified with one side here, but so far I belong to neither.
"Heh heh, I just arrived here and am temporarily staying in Northern King's area."
"So that means you're not yet one of Northern King's people?" Red Demon asked.
How should I respond? It's true that I'm not.
"That's nonsense; of course, the little girl is one of us!" Old Fu answered for me.
"Old Buddy, I never said anything. Little girl, don't worry, you can come to me anytime." As he spoke, he gave that signature flirtatious glance.
Sweat, even with the flirtation, I still think Nine Charm looks better.
...
After resting for a while, everyone got back up. The search for the inner elixir could not be delayed any longer, and the atmosphere of mutual vigilance returned.
Sigh, I actually think that no one is a bad person; it's just that their loyalties and positions differ. However, with such a vast hell, why can't Southern King and Northern King coexist peacefully and each fulfill their roles without fighting over territory?
"You don't know Northern King?"
Suddenly, Uncle Wu walked past me and asked softly.
Me? Know Northern King?
I shook my head. Seeing how serious he was, it didn't seem like a joke at all. How could he ask such a strange question?
Uncle Wu nodded slightly and walked ahead.
