Chapter 477: Entrusting Life to One Another

Yaoxing City, City Lord Mansion, study.

The current City Lord of Yaoxing City and the garrison commander sat opposite each other, both of their expressions very solemn.

The defensive battle of Yaoxing City was fought beautifully; Yaoxing City wiped out all the invading Bloodthirsty Orcs without suffering heavy casualties, and even killed an Orc Shaman. This could almost be recorded among the famous battles of the Haoxing Empire.

The garrison commander and the current City Lord were now most worried about the Blood Demon Beast that appeared on the battlefield. Although the Blood Demon Beast was eventually eliminated, the ones who took action were not the garrison, but two people of unknown origin. However, it was more likely three; the owner of that mysterious large net at the end definitely possessed even more terrifying strength.

In this battle, the Blood Demon Beast demonstrated many formidable aspects. Its body was in a state between semi-liquid and semi-solid, which allowed it to deform at will and use various methods to infiltrate tightly defended lines. Moreover, in this form, even Magic Crystal Cannons lost most of their effectiveness, not to mention ordinary blades, swords, bows, and arrows.

Furthermore, the Blood Demon Beast possessed powerful regenerative abilities; although it required blood as a power source to drive it, this was not a difficult thing. For people like them, bleeding was not a rare occurrence. At the same time, the strange spikes on the Blood Demon Beast were also a major problem; these spikes not only possessed powerful destructive force but could also corrode Magic barriers. Even the special Magic barriers in Yaoxing City could be corroded, so the Magic barriers of other cities went without saying.

If these conditions were combined, then this Blood Demon Beast was truly a weapon of war. If such a thing were placed on the battlefield, it would be an existence that was almost invincible. Most importantly, this thing was currently in the hands of the Orc Empire, which made the trouble even greater.

"Noer, do you know what that thing is?" the Yaoxing City City Lord asked.

"City Lord, this is something I picked up on the city wall. It should have been left for us by those two mysterious people. Please take a look!" Noer took a note out from his bosom.

"Blood Demon Beast?" Looking at the words on the note, the Yaoxing City City Lord's brows could not help but furrow. "What does this mean?"

"I think this should be the other party telling us the origin of that monster. If we follow this name to investigate, perhaps we will have some gains!" Noer said.

"I seem to have seen this name somewhere before. Perhaps old Frank might have an impression of this thing. You should put more effort into the city defense matters!" The City Lord put away the note in his hand.

"I understand. By the way, City Lord, this matter is of great importance; you still need to report it to the higher-ups!" the garrison commander reminded.

"I have already dispatched the Dark Eagle to handle this matter. With his speed and status, I presume this battle report will appear before His Majesty at the first opportunity!" the Yaoxing City City Lord said. "By the way, do you have any news about those two mysterious people?"

"No! Their origins are truly too mysterious; my subordinates have not found any information about them at all!" The garrison commander shook his head.

"Then don't investigate. After all, they took action because of the appearance of the Blood Demon Beast and indirectly saved this city. It is not a good thing for us to investigate someone who has done a favor for Yaoxing City!" the Yaoxing City City Lord said.

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" The garrison commander nodded.

Just as the Yaoxing City City Lord and the garrison commander were discussing Chen Jing and her companion, Chen Jing and her companion were being lectured by Lingyun.

"I'm telling you two, your guts are really too big. In a situation where the battle was not yet clear, you actually used the World-Toppling Strike at the same time, exhausting all the power in your bodies. Did you think about what the chances of you two surviving would be if I hadn't been present and the Blood Demon Beast had chosen to attack you?" Lingyun looked at the two of them with an angry face.

"Hehehe." Chen Jing rubbed the back of her head and gave Lingyun a silly smile, clearly attempting to muddle through.

But immediately after, she received a punishment; Lingyun's hand-blade struck directly on her head: "Don't try to joke around and muddle through with me!"

"This, this..." Hearing Lingyun's words, Chen Jing's gaze began to wander, not daring to meet Lingyun's eyes.

"Hmm?" Lingyun's gaze was like a blade, sweeping across Chen Jing's face, thinking in his heart how to properly teach Chen Jing a lesson and see if she would dare to act so recklessly next time.

"Alright, alright, I'll say it." Feeling the deep malice in Lingyun's gaze, Chen Jing immediately retreated; after all, Lingyun was quite mischievous at times. "It's just because I knew you were right there that I dared to do that. After all, Lingyun, you would absolutely not let anything happen to me, right? You are my greatest reliance in the entire battle!"

Hearing Chen Jing's explanation, the corners of Lingyun's mouth twitched. Chen Jing was quite right; as long as he was there, he would absolutely not watch anything happen to Chen Jing. However, he had not expected that Chen Jing's level of trust in him was actually so high, reaching the point of entrusting her life to him. At least after Chen Jing said these words, Lingyun felt quite moved for a moment; having a beautiful young girl entrust her life to him, wasn't that quite an amazing thing?

"What about you, Wanyue? I remember you aren't as impulsive as Jingjing." Lingyun turned his gaze to Su Wanyue.

"What if I said my reason is the same as Jingjing's?" Su Wanyue looked up at Lingyun.

"This, this..." Stared at by Su Wanyue's gaze, Lingyun was suddenly unable to speak.

"The reason we two dared to be so willful is because we believe that no matter what changes the Blood Demon Beast showed, you, Lingyun, would be able to make adjustments at the first opportunity. This is the silent trust between us!" Chen Jing leaned against Lingyun's side and smiled at him.

"You two!" Lingyun rubbed his head with a headache, then said to them with a serious face. "Regardless, you are not allowed to be like this next time, otherwise, I will absolutely punish you two severely!"

"Alright, alright, we know, we won't dare to commit this again next time!" Chen Jing promised Lingyun.

"The relationship between you three is really good!"

Aiweier looked at Chen Jing and the other girl leaning on Lingyun's left and right, and couldn't help but be a bit dazed. It seemed that a long time ago, she had also been like them, leaning against a boy.

Thinking of this, Aiweier suddenly shook her head, shaking the illusion out of her mind. She had grown up in the Morning Light Forest since she was a child, and there were no boys there for her to rely on. However, during this period of time, she found that some nonsensical illusions would occasionally appear before her eyes, but the content of these illusions could not withstand scrutiny; as long as she thought about it carefully, these illusions would disappear.

"It seems that after returning to the Morning Light Forest, I must ask the High Priest to check my illness!" Aiweier muttered in her heart.
