Chapter 161: Chapter 160: The Glorious Moment of the Winged Azure Wolf
Things were taking a turn for the worse. Nanrong Ni had not only been severely injured but was also deeply poisoned. Upon hearing the news, Mu Ningxue immediately rushed out, with Jiang Yu helping her by sending his Night Rakshasa to assist.
The entire Sea Battle City was now shrouded in a thick sea fog, visibility was low.
The sea level kept rising; it had been a long time since Sea Battle City had experienced such a massive tide or such intense battles.
The air was filled with mist, and through the haze, a graceful figure emerged, silver hair wet and clinging to her pale face. Mu Ningxue was on her way to find the treacherous Bai Qi Demon.
However, she overlooked one important thing—would a top student from the Ocean Academy really be unable to distinguish between different sea monsters?
Meanwhile, Mo Fan and Chiyou were riding the Winged Azure Wolf, heading towards the district they were protecting. Unfortunately, they arrived too late—Mu Ningxue was already gone.
Without needing an explanation, Mo Fan had already guessed what happened. He turned to Chiyou and said, "You go help them; I'll go find her."
Then, without hesitation, he left her there and rode off on his Winged Azure Wolf.
"Okay," Chiyou replied before heading towards the National Team's location, while Mo Fan sped off in another direction.
When Ai Jiangtu and the others saw Mo Fan riding a flying wolf, Jiang Yu exclaimed in shock, "What the hell, is that really Mo Fan's contracted beast?"
No one could understand how Jiang Yu felt at that moment! Mo Fan's contracted beast was already a mid-level commander creature?
"Who the hell is the real Summoner here?" Jiang Yu muttered in disbelief. It was almost unbearable to compare themselves to him.
Zhao Manyan glanced at Jiang Yu, hesitating for a moment, but he decided not to say anything. In fact, the Winged Azure Wolf was just a summoned beast. But even Zhao Manyan was stunned by how fast the creature had advanced. Mo Fan had really invested heavily in it.
The Winged Azure Wolf was fast. Although Mu Ningxue and the Night Rakshasa were no longer where Mo Fan had arrived, it wouldn't be difficult for him to catch up with them. With a mid-level commander creature like the Winged Azure Wolf, he encountered no sea monsters blocking his way.
"Boom! Boom!"
As Mo Fan moved forward, he suddenly heard rumbling noises.
He looked ahead and saw a sea monster with blue skin, less than 100 meters away. Just one glance and he recognized it as a Blue Valley Savage Beast.
The Blue Valley Savage Beast had a massive upper body covered in scales that gleamed like steel. Each scale was connected by sharp spines, and its four thick, spiked arms looked like battering rams. A single swipe from one of those arms would pierce through anything in its path.
Its lower body resembled that of a giant shrimp, covered in blue, gem-like armor. While normal shrimp have long, thin legs, the Blue Valley Savage Beast's legs were long and sharp, more like those of a giant mantis.
Shrimp are usually peaceful creatures, but this beast's shrimp-like lower half exuded a lethal, aggressive energy. Even without its spiked arms, its razor-sharp legs could pierce anything in its way. It was a creature of pure danger and offense!
As soon as it appeared, the beast headed in a specific direction, as if it had a clear target in mind.
Seeing this, Mo Fan quickly moved to follow it.
"Boom! Boom!"
The rumbling echoed in Mu Ningxue's ears. She crouched down, hiding inside an empty building. The structure had no windows or doors, allowing her a clear view of the street. On the main road below, the Blue Valley Savage Beast was lumbering along.
The street was over a hundred meters wide but deserted. Hardly any mages remained since a commander-level sea monster had appeared there.
Mu Ningxue immediately recognized it—this was the very same Blue Valley Savage Beast she had once frozen with her magic. Now, it was coming straight for her.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The beast's heavy breathing disturbed the mist, sending it swirling around like a chaotic downpour.
Though Mu Ningxue was hiding inside the building, she could still feel the cold, damp air chilling her skin.
Both she and the Night Rakshasa held their breaths, afraid that even the slightest noise might alert the Blue Valley Savage Beast. In their current condition, they were no match for it. Worse yet, the creature was surrounded by a pack of sea monsters—Shark Demons, a terrifying race with flat shark-like mouths and sharp bones protruding from their joints. Their bodies were humanoid, even their legs were similar to humans, except for their fish-like feet, which allowed them to move effortlessly in water and on land.
These were the Shark Demons!
Though the Night Rakshasa was a powerful sea monster killer, even it would struggle against so many foes, especially with a commander-level beast like the Blue Valley Savage Beast in the mix.
"Meow...meow..." The Night Rakshasa's eyes gleamed with intelligence as it communicated with Mu Ningxue through its actions.
Jiang Yu's feline companion was indeed highly intelligent!
"You mean I should distract that thing while you find the Bai Qi Demon?" Mu Ningxue asked, interpreting the Night Rakshasa's signals.
The cat nodded.
Fighting the Blue Valley Savage Beast was out of the question. Their primary goal was to find the Bai Qi Demon and get the antidote.
The Night Rakshasa was smart enough to know that the Blue Valley Savage Beast had a grudge against Mu Ningxue. No matter what, it wouldn't let her leave, so she needed to distract it while the cat swiftly killed the Bai Qi Demon.
"Alright, I'll lure it away. But once you've killed the Bai Qi Demon, don't come back for me—head straight to the team and give your master the antidote," Mu Ningxue urged.
With that, Mu Ningxue dashed out of the building. The moment the Blue Valley Savage Beast saw her, it roared in fury.
"Clang! Clang!"
The beast, with its metallic-sounding limbs, immediately turned and charged. Its sharp feet clattered as it sprinted down the wide street, half of its body submerged in water, the other half running on the surface, chasing Mu Ningxue at full speed!
It hadn't forgotten the icy arrow that had once wounded it, and it was determined to repay the humiliation with death. The beast was so fixated on Mu Ningxue that it ignored the other mages in the area.
"Boom! Crash!"
The Blue Valley Savage Beast attacked as it chased, leaving Mu Ningxue in a desperate struggle to evade it.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan, sensing the agitation in the magic stone on his body, knew he was close.
"Clang! Clang!"
At that moment, Mo Fan arrived, catching sight of a silver-haired figure that stood out even amidst the icy landscape. But what shocked him more was the sight of blood staining her clothes, the crimson splashed across the ice—Mu Ningxue!
