Chapter 69

In the darkness, the roaring military vehicle fishtailed, emitting a piercing screech of brakes, and the bodies of the four-person team tilted forward.

The convertible military vehicle had one advantage: before the vehicle had even come to a complete stop, Er Wei and Jiu Wei had already darted out, their figures disappearing into the mountain forest to the right.

Fei Xue and Yin Ni exchanged glances, ultimately looking up at the golden-red "waterfall" cascading down from the sky. Yin Ni held the two Candle Flames in her arms, silently praying in her heart, "Please come back safe."

Er Wei and Jiu Wei were incredibly fast, traversing the mountain forest at top speed. To accommodate Jiu Wei's pace, Er Wei took the lead, hacking through thorns and brambles. The dark-silver giant blade that materialized in her hand severed many trees along the way.

After the two had crawled for a while, Jiu Wei said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought Xiao Xiao."

Er Wei chopped down a tree and said, "No one can predict what will happen. I was the one who let you bring her."

Jiu Wei: "If she were here, we could quickly fly to the mountaintop."

Er Wei: "I originally thought we would temper our hearts in Mount E'ye, living a dark, secluded life. Having Xiao Xiao with you would temper your mind and keep you vigilant. Let's drop this topic."

In the blink of an eye, the two had emerged from the dense mountain forest and were approaching the base of an extremely steep cliff.

Er Wei crouched down and said, "Get on."

Just like last time in the snowfield.

Jiu Wei directly leaped onto her back, grabbing her shoulders with one hand. Er Wei's hands and feet were like steel, transforming into climbing picks. Each jab into the cliff face created a hole, allowing her to quickly climb upwards as if walking on flat ground.

From time to time, golden-red Candle Flames fell from beside them, illuminating the dark surroundings.

In less than half a minute, Er Wei grabbed the flat ground at the top of the cliff with one hand, swinging her arm powerfully, and the two of them flew high into the air, landing steadily on the cliff top.

They landed firmly in a pile of golden-red Candle Flames.

Looking around, they saw one golden-red Candle Flame after another being hunted.

The sharp horns of the golden-red giant insects pierced the translucent bodies of the golden-red Candle Flames, absorbing the star power within. The scene was particularly cruel.

*Ping!*

Jiu Wei sliced a golden-red giant insect in half, rescuing a golden-red Candle Flame.

But he saw the golden-red Candle Flame's body gradually deflate, star power flowing out from the wound. Slowly, only a transparent husk remained, and the candle eyes quietly extinguished.

What a group of little fellows without any offensive capabilities, unarmed...

"Focus! Follow me!" Er Wei waved her giant blade repeatedly, scattering the crowded golden-red Candle Flames and golden-red giant insects in front of her, even freezing their bodies slightly.

Gold-Tier Star Technique - Frost Wind.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, with Er Wei leading the way and Jiu Wei covering the rear, forcibly carved a bloody path through the crowded golden-red tide.

Less than a hundred meters ahead was the place where the golden-red waterfall flowed.

Just over a hundred meters directly above them, a circle formed by six Saint Ruins gates was constantly pouring down this golden-red tide.

"Send me up!" Er Wei roared loudly, her voice becoming increasingly hoarse.

Jiu Wei held his blade horizontally, and the sharp thorns of a golden-red giant insect collided with Jiang Xiao's giant blade. The enormous force even pushed him back two steps.

"How?!" Jiu Wei leaped, stabbing a golden-red giant insect from above. Watching its fat body struggle and writhe frantically, spraying bursts of golden-red liquid, Jiu Wei swung his blade and flung it away.

"Shoulder!" Er Wei charged towards Jiu Wei, suddenly leaping high, "The waterfall to the left front!"

Jiu Wei instinctively crouched. As Er Wei stepped on his shoulder with one foot, Jiu Wei aimed at the location, his arched legs tensed, and his shoulders thrust upwards fiercely.

At the same time, Er Wei's tense thighs also exerted force suddenly. The heavy force nearly made Jiu Wei think his shoulder would be crushed.

Er Wei's entire body flew upwards like a sharp arrow with a "whoosh."

But... was that force enough?

The next moment, the expression on Jiu Wei's face behind the mask changed abruptly, his jaw dropping in astonishment!

Transforming Stars into Weapons!!!

Truly transforming stars into weapons!

Er Wei's Star Chart was a long-tailed lynx. Jiu Wei had seen Er Wei use her Star Chart once, in the Snow Mountain Domain. When Er Wei absorbed the Bai Shan Xue Yu (White Mountain Snow Feather) star pet, she directly summoned the Star Chart.

At that time, that four-legged beast Star Chart slowly changed its appearance. Originally, it was hidden in Er Wei's chest, but then the illusory fierce beast continued to expand, even enveloping Er Wei.

As the illusory fierce beast's body stretched out to the extreme, the hazy four-legged beast completely transformed into an elegant and brutal long-tailed lynx.

Its ears stood up sharply, with tufts of fur standing on top. Long hairs also drooped from its cheeks, and the streamlined body lines were full of ultimate beauty.

Then, the long-tailed lynx swallowed the Bai Shan Xue Yu in one gulp, eventually embedding the Bai Shan Xue Yu into the Star Chart, turning it into Er Wei's star pet.

Jiu Wei had thought that was what Er Wei's transformation of stars into weapons looked like, but now, Jiu Wei realized he was wrong, completely wrong!

At this moment, Er Wei's body instantly bloomed with a hazy four-legged beast Star Chart, which, in a short moment, transformed into an exquisite long-tailed lynx and covered Er Wei's body.

The next moment, Er Wei disappeared.

And in this world, only a long-tailed lynx composed of ice-blue lines remained, more than five meters long, huge and elegant, swift and violent.

This giant long-tailed lynx, sent into the high altitude by Jiu Wei, actually stretched out its claws and then climbed onto the golden-red "waterfall", using each golden-red Candle Flame and golden-red giant insect flowing down as stepping stones.

The long-tailed lynx moved with incredible agility, climbing upwards rapidly, going against the current. Its limbs stepped on the bridge built by the golden-red star beasts. At an almost vertically upward angle, it climbed to the source of the waterfall—the Saint Ruins gate—in the blink of an eye.

The giant lynx deliberately maintained its climbing speed, ensuring that it stayed in front of the Saint Ruins gate. The next moment, the ice-blue lynx instantly turned into the color of lava, and a fire whirlwind swept out from around its body.

Gold-Tier Star Technique - Lava Dance.

Jiu Wei had seen that star technique. It was the star technique Er Wei used to clear the field in the Snowfield Saint Ruins when they first met.

Facts proved that such a star technique could protect the Saint Ruins, and it could also destroy the Saint Ruins.

The violent Lava Dance stirred everything around it, the golden-red waterfall was instantly cut off, the giant lynx had nowhere to climb, and finally fell down.

And in this short falling process, the Lava Dance had already shattered this Saint Ruins gate. The磅礴 (páng bó - boundless) star power made this fragile space gate unstable, and it slowly closed.

As the Lava Dance dissipated, the lava lynx gradually turned back into an ice-blue lynx. During the fall, its body was like a javelin, accelerating its descent, and finally caught up with the severed waterfall.

It grabbed with its claws, and its agile body had a place to exert force again, running down the golden-red waterfall for two steps, and finally leaped sideways, its body flipping and its limbs landing firmly.

"Roar!" The giant lynx roared at Jiu Wei, and then quickly ran towards Jiu Wei.

Jiu Wei immediately understood what the other party meant. He held up the broad giant blade with both hands, making a solid bow step.

The lynx's giant claws were completely out of proportion to the giant blade, but they stepped lightly on the broad giant blade with divine skill.

Jiang Xiao pushed the giant blade fiercely, sending it diagonally upwards, and the lynx's figure turned into a sharp arrow, climbing up to the middle of a waterfall again, and then climbing upwards rapidly.

Jiu Wei carried the giant blade and hurriedly chased after it, dodging the sharp horns that were stabbing everywhere, enduring the corrosive golden-red liquid, and slashing the ugly golden-red giant insects with his blade. In the sky, another burst of Lava Dance crackled.

In this golden-red ocean, Jiu Wei kicked left and blocked right, forcibly opening up a small open space for himself.

The next moment, the giant lynx fell down again, walking on the ocean paved by giant insects and Candle Flames, and pounced towards Jiu Wei.

Jiu Wei's feet exploded with force, and the giant blade was sent out. The lynx once again charged towards the third golden-red waterfall...

"Ugh~ Wuwu, puff..." Jiu Wei suddenly turned his head, only to see a golden-red Candle Flame pierced through the body by a giant insect. The little fellow made a painful cry, spitting out a large amount of star power, and making a light sound after its body was pierced.

Jiu Wei clenched the giant blade and slashed down. Golden-red venom splashed all over him, and his clothes and mask made a disgusting "sizzling" sound.

"Roar!" The roar of the fierce beast came from behind, as if blaming Jiu Wei for his womanly kindness.

It didn't even wait for Jiu Wei to prepare before pouncing directly, twisting its body in the same posture, its hind feet stepping towards Jiu Wei.

Jiu Wei didn't have time to retract his blade, so he pulled his shoulders back to cushion himself and to give the lynx cushioning...

"Ahhhhh!" Jiu Wei roared, and was pushed back several meters by the lynx's huge force, his shoulder thrusting out fiercely.

Why roar? Because in those few meters, Jiu Wei had been pierced through the thigh by a long, sharp horn.

*Ding!*

The giant blade swung down, cutting it in two.

Jiu Wei didn't have time to pull out the long thorns on his thigh, and suddenly turned around to block. In this golden-red tide, sharp thorns were stabbing from all directions.

The giant blade swung repeatedly, clearing a path. Jiu Wei looked up again, and in the distant sky, only two golden-red waterfalls remained.

And that long-tailed lynx had landed again, stepping on the ocean paved by giant insects and Candle Flames, and quickly rushed towards the one-legged Jiu Wei.

And Jiu Wei, once again, held up the giant blade.

As a pair of giant claws landed on the blade, Jiu Wei exhausted all his strength, roaring, and even leaping upwards for half a meter.

This time, it seemed more successful than the previous few times. The long-tailed lynx grabbed the position on the waterfall, almost a third of the way up the waterfall. It only needed to climb a short distance, and the violent Lava Dance would descend again.

Below the cliff, on the side of the mountain forest, beside the road.

Fei Xue looked up at the disappearing golden-red waterfalls, and couldn't help but rejoice. But Yin Ni saw even more clearly than Fei Xue. She saw the giant creature she had never seen before, so violent, but destroying the Saint Ruins. For a moment, Yin Ni was a little confused...

As the last waterfall disappeared in the sky, the long-tailed lynx landed steadily. It slowly stood up, and in the process, its figure continued to shrink, until it stood upright on two feet, the long-tailed lynx shrank to a height of two meters, and also transformed into a human form.

"The Saint Ruins are the top priority. No matter how many giant insects you kill, it won't help. Your killing speed will never be as fast as the Saint Ruins' delivery speed." Er Wei said, already standing beside Jiu Wei, looking at the long thorns piercing through his thigh, "This is the price you paid."

Then, Er Wei spread out her hands, making a look of saving all living beings.

Jiu Wei knew that this was the starting stance of Lava Dance.

But he heard Jiu Wei say softly, "Frost Wind, then."

Er Wei's movements were slightly stagnant, and after hesitating for a moment, she conjured a dark silver longbow in her hand, and quickly shot an arrow forward. Suddenly, a patch of frost spread out on both sides along the trajectory of the arrow.

Arrows were rapidly shot from Er Wei's hands: "It seems, you don't plan to change."

As the Frost Wind swept through, the surging speed of the golden-red ocean slowed down. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, quickly reaped the lives of the giant insects.

Their bodies were huge, easy to distinguish, and easy to slaughter.

The lame Jiu Wei held the blade to clear the way in front, and Er Wei held the bow to draw arrows to the left and right.

Unknowingly, behind and to the left and right of the two of them, a group of shivering golden-red Candle Flames had followed.

They moved their steps cautiously, squeezed tightly together, warming each other's bodies, and followed the two warriors to continue their progress.

Under this poignant night sky, one Candle Flame after another gathered into a huge bonfire, lighting up this dark E'ye.

Er Wei fired arrows with her bow in succession, and said, "We..."

In her words, there was a rare hint of intonation.

Because, in the sky, the light of day faintly had a tendency to tear through the E'ye.

On this battlefield of mixed darkness,

In this burning and clustered candlelight,

The two warriors looked up at the sky at almost the same time.

In an instant,

Blue sky and white clouds, clear as washing.

The sky, was bright.
