Chapter 1304: Desperate Situation

No one knew how this arrow appeared.

While still immersed in the pleasure of devouring flesh and blood, Huang Lin, who had taken a large mouthful of black dragon flesh and blood, felt no hint of danger at all.

Even if she knew the red‑clothed girl behind her seemed to be launching a psychic attack on her.

But it was meaningless.

As Alien Species, they possessed mental resistance similar to that of the black dragon; although not immune, a mid‑level Third Level psychic shock, even if stronger, would at most make her flinch slightly.

Compared to the injuries she recovered from by devouring the black dragon, it was negligible.

Now she instead worried, what if the black dragon gave up fighting her and fled? The black dragon's speed, even when reduced, would not be much slower than hers.

Gao Tian? What is Gao Tian? That name sounded somewhat familiar….

However, just as she was preparing to endure this psychic shock and tear off another scale, an unprecedented fear suddenly surged from the back of her mind.

This feeling!? This is!?

What a terrifying aura!

Is it Lin An!?

Her pupils suddenly contracted to the extreme.

If danger had levels, the black dragon would be Level Two, the two girls Level One‑and‑a‑half, but the death threat that appeared behind her mind shot straight up to Level Four!

With no time to react, in an instant the purple arrow seemed to cross space, and with a crack it shattered the space she occupied!

If she could turn and look, she would surely be shocked to discover that, although this was clearly only a Second Level attack, it seemed to carry some kind of rule, shattering the spatial nodes in a way she could not comprehend—like a bullet in a vast city precisely striking an atom one‑billionth the size!

Can't dodge! Absolutely can't dodge!

Huang Lin, dazed for a moment, could only stand frozen in terror.

As if a chain reaction, with the crisp sounds of glass shattering one after another, amidst a burst of purple light she felt her body splitting into fragments.

That was the space she occupied being shattered by this arrow!

No!!!

She was horrified to the point of despair.

Within seconds, she watched in horror as her body turned into glass shards, then vanished into ash in the purple light. Driven by the instinct for extreme survival, she desperately strove to stabilize the space around her head, trying to save herself!

Once the space around her head split open, even if she were Fourth Stage, she would surely die!

What kind of attack is this!? What kind of ability is this!?

In her shock, no one could answer her question.

Fortunately, the arrow seemed to have been shot hastily, its purple energy too low; as she gathered every ounce of strength to piece her head together, in less than half a breath she, with only half a skull left, managed to survive.

At the same time, another Alien Species in a different direction was shocked to discover the abnormality on her side.

He also didn't know how this arrow had appeared!

But there was no doubt that Huang Lin, who was stronger than him, had almost been instantly killed by this arrow!!

In his eyes, Huang Lin now looked like a pile of blocks, half a snake's head covered in cracks, as if it would die in the next second.

In his eyes, the yellow scale at this moment resembled building blocks, half a snake head covered in cracks, as if it would die in the next second.

"Watch out!!"

Shouting a warning in haste, the second Alien Species cried out, trying to urge Huang Lin to flee quickly! After this arrow, the two people and one dragon that had been besieging Huang Lin launched their attacks again.

At this distance, even if he wanted to help, he couldn't!

Yet his warning was ultimately a step too late.

With three earth‑shaking booms and a voice of unwilling anguish, Huang Lin's aura vanished instantly—clearly dead beyond death.

Accompanied by three deafening booms, accompanied by an unwilling tragic scream, the aura of the yellow scale vanished instantly; obviously it was dead beyond death.

At this very moment, the second Alien Species that had witnessed Huang Lin's death couldn't help but freeze in place for a brief instant.

They had never imagined that within the Long An faction, besides Lin An, anyone else could threaten them.

But at this moment, Huang Lin, a Third Level Peak Alien Species, was actually instantly killed by someone!

"How is this possible.. what kind of ability is this...!?"

Trembling all over from shock, even if his reaction were slower, he now realized the situation had slipped out of their control!

No need for Lin An to appear; if that arrow light from just now appeared again, he would die just the same!

A Second Level Peak almost instantly killing a Third Level Peak!? Such terrifying power is truly shocking! This ability that defies logic is practically identical to the rules of the Fourth Stage!

The Second Level peak almost instantly killed the third level peak!? Such a terrifying ability is truly shocking! This ability that defies logic is practically identical to the rules of the Fourth Stage!

After snapping back to his senses, he didn't have time to think further; he could only desperately search for the trace of that arrow's shot. He had to kill the opponent! Killing the opponent's remaining people would be no match for him, and only then could he hope to force Lin An to come out!

Otherwise, only the Fourth Stage could act! But what would be the point then? Lin An would definitely escape!

In almost an instant, as he desperately searched for the arrow's trace, he suddenly sensed an anomaly.

In the neglected Second Level aura he had overlooked, a weak presence hidden in a distant tower caught his attention.

Snapping his head around, in an instant the second Alien Species' eyes burst with extreme killing intent.

There! He had found him!

Without hesitation, he simply ignored everyone and surged straight toward Gao Tian.

At the same time, the hidden An Jing Tian's face suddenly changed:

At the same time, An Jing Tian hidden in the darkness suddenly changed his expression:

He had originally planned to cooperate with Gao Tian to take down this Alien Species, but the situation deteriorated too fast; in his original projections, AnXia and the others could hold off the first Alien Species, buying them enough time to settle this side. Yet he never imagined that the black dragon's side would make a mistake.

Therefore, under these circumstances, the red‑clothed one chose to protect AnXia and the black dragon, opting to take out Huang Lin first.

Racing after them, at this moment the whole battlefield seemed to have turned into a chase.

The second Alien Species desperately charged toward Gao Tian, while An Jing Tian and the others spared no effort to block him. Masses of Long An Awakened Ones tried to build the final line of defense against the Alien Species.

Everyone knows that if Gao Tian dies, they will have no chance left.

Slumped inside the tower, Gao Tian bitterly watched the alien species charging at him, straining to mobilize the spiritual energy within his body, yet he still had no strength at all.

"At least thirty seconds, at least thirty seconds of time are needed to continue locking on..."

His eyes felt as if they were about to burst, and in his vision blurred by blood, he could no longer see the scene clearly.

But he knew he probably couldn't hold out until then.

In the original plan, his newly mastered ability could secretly lock onto any target, at the cost of consuming his life force, to fire an unavoidable arrow.

Theoretically, as long as he first kills the second Alien Species, after a brief rest he could coordinate with AnXia and the others to finish off the Yellow Scale...

With Wen Ya's support, he could barely manage this.

But unfortunately, the coordination ultimately failed.

He knew what Hong Yi was thinking.

AnXia must not come to harm, Hei Long must not come to harm, and once the Yellow Scale recovers strength by devouring flesh and blood, everything is over.

Therefore Hong Yi decisively chose to have him kill the Yellow Scale, but forcibly switching targets also caused the plan to fail completely.

"Still... too weak..."

"If only I were third rank..."

Straining to rise, Gao Tian gasped heavily, trying to draw the bow again. Even if it meant death, he could not do nothing.

What a pity..

"Gao Tian! How long do you need!!"

In the frantic pursuit, An Jing Tian's eyes nearly burst as he watched the second Alien Species that could not be stopped; he knew that to stop it, someone had to give Hei Long and them a chance, to entangle it for at least one second!

But now, unless AnXia is allowed to lose control completely, nobody can do it that fast! Not even Hei Long can!

The little guy is badly injured!

"Three... thirty seconds..."

"No, twenty-eight seconds... give me twenty-eight seconds of time... maybe we can still do it..."

Hearing An Jing Tian's unwilling voice, Gao Tian replied weakly.

But even if he tried as hard as possible to shorten that time to give an answer, he knew there was no difference between thirty seconds and twenty-eight seconds. No, not even a difference from three seconds.

He could already feel that the second Alien Species charging at him had already reached his front.

"Twenty-eight seconds..."

Clutching the test tube tightly in his hand, An Jing Tian took a deep breath, as if he had already made up his mind, preparing to swallow it in one gulp.

He knew what was inside.

Swallowing this vial of medicine, combined with his own teleportation talent, he can manage to hold off the opponent for three seconds; as long as he can hold off the second Alien Species, the subsequent black dragon, AnXia, and the others will at least still have a chance to desperately block the opponent.

Just taking this vial of medicine, he would probably turn into a puddle of rotten flesh...

A worm without any thought...

"Smack!"

The medicine vial opened.

An Jing Tian finally glanced at AnXia in the distance, then smiled with relief.

"A worm? That's fine; at least later I can still let Brother Lin eat me, so I'll still be somewhat useful..."

He tilted his head back, preparing to swallow it.

In an instant, a voice strange and somewhat curious suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Why are you drinking worm paste?"
