21 Probing

Furthermore, the people backing Wu Feng were of great significance, making it even more difficult for them to get involved in this game.

It seemed that there was no one else in this area. In any case, apart from the Demon Lord and the muscular blonde youth at the very beginning, no one else had been drawn here over the past two days. Meng Feng and his companion were thus granted sufficient time to adjust their breathing and recover. By now, both of them had returned to their peak state.

He sat leisurely in the tavern, occasionally examining his own hands. They were terrifying to behold—little more than skin stretched over bone. Having practiced the "Ghost Claw" technique for years, the skin across his fingers had long since turned black.

"My lord, shall we continue the march?" Wu Feng listened to Xiao Tian'ao’s report, knowing that the demon army was drawing ever closer. He feared that by the time reinforcements arrived, they would already be locked in combat with the enemy.

Meanwhile, Wu Feng did not hesitate to distribute the "Metamorphosis Pills" he had obtained from the beggar to his three companions. Now, Golden Scale had reached the strength of a Fourth-Rank beast.

Yet she knew that since Chen Nuo had issued this order, she had to execute it without hesitation, even if the command seemed highly suspicious and utterly baffling. Upon receiving the order, she immediately acted according to Chen Nuo’s wishes, withdrawing her troops from Nameless Mountain and charging toward Mount Tai.

Just as he made his move, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on Tian Yahai’s face. He turned, walked over to a nearby steamroller, reached out, dragged the driver down, and sat in the driver's seat himself.

With a deafening roar, five-colored light enveloped the ground for a radius of over a dozen meters. Those caught in the blast seemed to dissolve, slowly fading away. At the very center stood Wu Feng and the beggar.

To counter a Necromancer’s soul-based magic, one generally needs to carry specific treasures or have protective soul spells cast upon them. Furthermore, if the victim’s soul strength exceeds that of the caster, the spell will rebound directly onto the attacker.

Gui Zizi released the microphone and turned her head to look at Chen Meimei, who had previously been as proud as a princess but now lacked all her former arrogance.

To be honest, in terms of pure magical power and divine abilities, he would not necessarily fear even an opponent at the Half-Step Daluo realm. However, once magical treasures were involved, the outcome became very difficult to predict.

Lin Xiaofan realized that Zhang Hu was still as simple and slightly childish as he had always been. That was, in its own way, quite nice.

Zhao Ling noticed the three of them and caught sight of Tang Hui. She had an intuition that he was there to buy a car, even though he looked very young. Having worked in sales for a long time, she could sense the aura about him—the distinct air of a wealthy second-generation heir.

Although Sun Hao was a Profound Immortal, he would not turn down an extra portion of salary now that his status entitled him to it. He had his two young attendants, Huoxing and Huoyu, go and file the application.

"Very well, it's settled then. Continue with the next experiment." Great Elder Geng waved his hand and left, leaving the stripped-bare Xin Ran to lament his misfortune.

He heard a creaking sound and looked up to see a fluorescent light flickering above his head, its intermittent glow dividing the room between day and night.

This ancient corridor seemed endless. He had been walking for two days, yet he had found no end, and he had passed at least hundreds of side halls.

My eyes suddenly lit up, and I looked at him as if I were staring at a delicious cake.

"It seems the mage is truly clever!" Count Kunier understood the implication after hearing Raphael speak.

Just as Lily had said, as an older brother, one could not simply stand by and watch. Though he did so with some reluctance, Bran handed the scepter to Ciri.

There was no time to think any deeper. Given the severity of the injuries on the other person, although they had managed to survive until now, if things continued this way without treatment, they might never wake up again.

Fortunately, this commander was not one to abuse his power for personal gain; he would not hesitate to help those monks when necessary.

Bai Bai turned its head and snorted, indicating it did not want to pay attention to Mo Xi, but its stomach could not help but let out a rumbling growl.

Presumably, what Le Yao’s father had mentioned about ordering dinner meant having several chefs come to their home to prepare a meal for them.

Suddenly, someone pulled Mo Dong'er by the hand. Only taking the time to say, "Grandfather, Dong'er takes her leave," she was pulled outside by Su Yu, who was standing beside her.

Under the drifting rain of swords, Yang Long cast a gloomy glance at Yang Hu. The latter’s expression was as cold as frost as he stared intently at Wu Hao.

Ning Xiang felt a twinge of envy. No matter what kind of person Jiang Yueyue was, she was at least born into a wealthy, prestigious family with relatives who cherished her.

"Yeah, that guy scratched my shoulder. He’s incredibly tough. If it were a one-on-one fight, I don't think I’d be his match," Xun Yong said, pressing against his wound and grimacing.

Although Nangong Yu’s face remained as calm as an ancient well, he was cursing inwardly: Dammit, how do I turn off this sound?

Geng Feng walked forward, and the landlady hurriedly pulled out the chair in front of her. He sat down but remained silent.

Consequently, the waiter scrambled to call for help, and together they lifted Lu Siyu into the car.

"Alright, tomorrow I’ll ask Dad to take a day off." Gu Yu patted her back and held her in his arms, his warm hands soothing her complex emotions.

"Tomorrow you're going back, intending to teach your family how to gather and process medicinal herbs so that in the future, you can sell them to the pharmacy and improve your family's life."

The next day, Xu Qingyi arrived early at Dr. Wen’s clinic, though she was surprised to find that Dr. Wen and his apprentice, Hua Rong, had arrived even earlier.
