Chapter 948: Even Stickier Than A Sticky Plaster Patch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Xijiu was starting to get a little too sensitive as she kept telling herself that every odd person she met was someone who had also traveled through time.

Ying Yannuo could feel the pressure under her intense gaze. He furrowed his brows as he asked, "What is the matter?"

Gu Xijiu shook her head, "Nothing. Shouldn't you be helping them in clearing up the corpses down there? What are you doing up here?"

Ying Yannuo coughed, "They can do it themselves. I am here to see if you needed any help."

The Lord had assigned him to watch out for her at all times, especially during times of distress. Therefore, Mu Dian (acting as Ying Yannuo) had been sticking close to her. He felt that he was even stickier than a plaster patch.

All four of the Lord's messengers were the brightest of the elites. The Lord had discovered them one by one throughout the years. They were not only smart at using their spiritual powers and skills in combat but were also excellent in many other aspects. They could play the role of acting cool or even cute when it was necessary. Their abilities were even better and stronger than the heaven's gift disciples.

They also possessed extraordinary spiritual powers. All of them had a spiritual power of level nine and above. Mu Dian knew that the role he had to play was of someone with a spiritual power of level 6.2, so he was forced to conceal his true power carefully. All the abilities he used had to be the abilities that were available to someone with a spiritual power of around that level.

However, it was impossible for him to hide his actual strength. Although the abilities that he used were only limited to someone with a spiritual power between level five and six, the force of each move was incredibly strong.

His observations, reaction speed, and power were very accurate.

He felt that he had camouflaged himself very well. However, judging from the way Gu Xijiu looked at him, he knew that she was starting to suspect him.

He maintained his composure and backed away from her. He took a look at the wizardry barrier above him, "Can't you break it with the method you have just used?"

Gu Xijiu shook her head, "I can't. We need to find the core of the formation which is somewhere on the ground. Do you have any better ideas?"

Mu Dian was experienced in breaking wizardry barriers. He figured that it was possible for him to break through the barrier by force with his spiritual power of level nine, but he would also be exposing his true identity. Therefore, he shook his head firmly, "No!"

Gu Xijiu looked at him and took a deep breath, "Then, we should head back down and think of other ways!" She teleported away swiftly.

Mu Dian could not help but feel frustrated. His tracking skill was considered the best, but tracking someone with the ability to teleport was still somewhat difficult for him. He was worried that Gu Xijiu might be in danger, so he leaped and headed back down towards the ground.

On the ground, Yan Chen and the rest of the group had cleared out an area to be used as a safe spot. Some white zombies were lying dead on the ground, and their corpses were scattered in a mess. Lan Waihu sat eagerly with Qian Lingyu at the base of the pole to wait for them.

It was winter, and the temperature inside the barrier had dropped even lower than the temperature outside. Qian Lingyu laid badly injured. Although the transformation had slowed down tremendously, his body had also become weaker. Furthermore, the cold was starting to bother him. He was very pale and began to shiver uncontrollably in the cold.

Lan Waihu quickly pulled him closer to warm him up in her arms. She took off her fur coat and covered him up with it. She kept encouraging him, "Qian Lingyu, hang in there! Hang in there! Don't turn into a monster!"

Qian Lingyu refused to stay in her arms and kept pushing her away, "Don't… Don't come too close to me. I am afraid that I might lose control and hurt you…"

Lan Waihu tried to console him, "If you keep fighting it, then you will never hurt me." She held him even tighter in her embrace and kept his frozen hands in hers, "Don't transform, if you do, you will hurt me first. You don't want that to happen, do you?"
