Chapter 292: The Princess Arrives

When the Princess's tall, elegant silhouette appeared before the outpost, the many students on the high walls behind were stunned for a moment, and then deafening cheers resounded.

Many of them wore expressions of wild joy, their faces showing the relief of those who had survived a disaster.

No one had expected that at this final moment, reinforcements would finally arrive!

The Princess possessed the strength of the Heavenly Dipper General stage; with her presence, it was unlikely that even that incomparably ferocious Three-Tailed Giant Beast could easily crush them.

Moreover, since the Princess had arrived first, it meant that more reinforcements were rapidly approaching.

The crisis of the outpost could be said to have been largely resolved at this moment.

Amidst the many cheers, the Princess also let out a sigh of relief; it seemed the outpost had not yet been breached, and her high-speed journey had, after all, arrived in time.

The Princess turned her head to look at Li Luo and said, "Why are you here facing the Three-Tailed Giant Beast alone? Go back quickly; leave this to me."

Li Luo stared blankly at the Princess's stunningly beautiful face, feeling like crying but having no tears: "Princess, couldn't you have arrived just a little bit later?"

If the Princess had arrived just a little later, he could have finished perfectly, and then everyone would have been happy.

In truth, it was mainly because Li Luo had been hunted by this Three-Tailed Giant Beast for several days; it would be impossible not to have some resentment in his heart, and now was the perfect opportunity to vent it.

The Princess was startled, then immediately gave Li Luo an annoyed glare and retorted, "Arrive a moment later to help collect your corpse?"

"You fellow, you really don't know what's good for you."

"These past few days, I haven't even had time to rest, traveling day and night, and in the end, I even abandoned the support troops to come here alone at full speed, just to make it in time."

Li Luo looked at the Princess and only then noticed that her usual high-coiled phoenix bun had now fallen into loose tresses, which made her look a little less noble and a little more charming.

Clearly, she had no energy to attend to her hairstyle during her journey over the past few days.

"The Princess is truly a role model for us all," Li Luo praised, giving a thumbs up.

Although he had already begun to control the situation here, she had come from far away to rescue him, and this sentiment still deserved recognition.

"Are you alright?" The Princess looked Li Luo over and found that, other than looking a bit exhausted, he had no other major injuries.

"The Princess is very worried about me," Li Luo smiled.

The Princess said frankly, "It is indeed because I was worried about you that I traveled at such a limit. You know the reason; the King finally has hope of treating his congenital defect, so how could I let you die in this Dark Cave for nothing?"

Li Luo nodded; he had naturally guessed as much, otherwise, with her strength and status, she truly wouldn't have needed to travel so desperately.

The Princess did not hide it either, but told him clearly that a large factor in her rushing over so urgently was indeed Li Luo.

Of course, it was not because of Li Luo the person, but because he could treat the King's congenital defect.

The Princess did not dwell on this topic, but turned her phoenix eyes toward the Three-Tailed Giant Beast in front, her pretty face becoming much more solemn: "Wasn't it said that a Great Disaster-class Otherkind appeared here? How did it become a peak Heavenly General-stage Spirit Beast?"

She was somewhat suspicious, because the Spirit Beast before her looked slightly familiar.

"That Great Disaster-class Otherkind has already been dealt with," Li Luo said.

The Princess was shocked again. A Great Disaster-class Otherkind had been dealt with? In this outpost, was there someone capable of this? Was it Jiang Qing? That didn't seem very likely.

The Ninth-Grade Light Resonance was indeed tyrannical, but it hadn't reached such a monstrous level.

After all, Jiang Qing was still only at the Earthly Fiend General stage.

Thoughts flickered, and then the Princess said thoughtfully, "Was it dealt with by this Spirit Beast?"

"The Princess is truly wise," Li Luo smiled.

Even though she had guessed it earlier, the Princess still couldn't help but feel somewhat stunned, saying, "How could this peak Heavenly General-stage Spirit Beast appear here?"

And, it just happened to help this outpost lift the siege; wasn't that too much of a coincidence?

"I lured it over from the Forbidden Zone mountains," Li Luo smiled.

The Princess's pupils shrank suddenly. She had been wondering why she felt this Spirit Beast looked familiar; it turned out to be the great Spirit Beast from the Forbidden Zone mountains in the region where Outpost 13 was located!

And, Li Luo had lured it out from the Forbidden Zone mountains?

Her phoenix eyes glanced at the ground outside the outpost; judging by the traces here, an incredibly astonishing battle had clearly erupted, which must have been caused by this Spirit Beast and that Great Disaster-class Otherkind.

"You deliberately lured this Spirit Beast to the outpost, wanting to use its power to deal with the Great Disaster-class Otherkind," the Princess said slowly.

The look she gave Li Luo was slightly complex, because she knew very well how bold and dangerous this plan was.

But she had to admit, this was the only way to change the situation.

At the very least, the battle between this Spirit Beast and the Great Disaster-class Otherkind had delayed the most precious time; otherwise, when she arrived now, she might have seen a ruin filled with corpses.

"Li Luo, you are truly amazing," the Princess said slowly.

"If all this is true, you are the greatest contributor."

Li Luo smiled: "Princess, don't praise me; I was just doing this to save myself."

The Princess smiled slightly and said, "However, the trouble you've left behind is no less than the Great Disaster-class Otherkind."

Her phoenix eyes turned to the Three-Tailed Giant Beast, which had stopped its pace because of her appearance, and her eyes also became solemn: "This Spirit Beast's strength is likely even stronger than that Great Disaster-class Otherkind. Fortunately, it is also not lightly injured now, but in a one-on-one fight, I cannot do anything to it either. I can only hold it off and wait for subsequent reinforcements to arrive; then it should be no problem."

Although the Princess had the strength of the Heavenly Dipper General stage, in terms of level, she was still lower than this Three-Tailed Giant Beast, as the latter was considered the peak of the Heavenly General stage and had even begun to try to touch the path to the Marquis stage.

It was just that, although it was difficult to defeat, holding it off would not be too much of a problem.

"You retreat to the high wall first," the Princess said, gripping her white jade staff tightly, preparing to step forward to meet the enemy.

Seeing this, Li Luo felt a headache coming on and said, "Princess, although I am very grateful that you traveled thousands of miles to support us, actually... leave this to me."

The Princess stopped in her tracks, looking at Li Luo in shock; she even wanted to reach out and touch his forehead to see if he had been hit until he was stupid.

A great Spirit Beast that even she couldn't handle, and Li Luo said to leave it to him?

"Li Luo, are you joking with me? Now is not the time for jokes," the Princess said, amused by his words.

Li Luo didn't say any more nonsense, but took a deep breath, then raised his palm, aiming it at the Three-Tailed Giant Beast not far away.

The ancient seal in his palm shone brightly at this moment.

Clatter!

In that instant, thousands of light chains suddenly shot out from the seal in Li Luo's palm, then pierced through the void, wrapping around the Three-Tailed Giant Beast's massive body like lightning.

Roar!

The sudden light chains made the Three-Tailed Giant Beast's mind shake, and at the same time, it began to struggle violently.

However, this time, the power of the seal seemed to have become even more solid; those light chains, like snakes, drilled directly into the wounds on the Three-Tailed Giant Beast's body, tearing through flesh and wrapping around its bones.

Roar!

The Three-Tailed Giant Beast let out a shrill, miserable cry.

At the same time, it also sensed something was wrong and began to struggle desperately, as raging flames erupted from within its body, making it look like a giant beast of fire.

The earth was scorched and cracked open.

Under such desperate efforts, its massive body began to gradually retreat.

Seeing this scene, Li Luo was slightly surprised; he had underestimated this Three-Tailed Giant Beast, not expecting it to have such tenacious ferocity in this situation.

The seal in his palm, after all, was still somewhat lacking in power.

And his own strength was too weak to provide too much Resonance Power for this seal.

Li Luo frowned, then turned his head to see the Princess, so he reached out his other hand and, quite naturally, in the Princess's stunned gaze, held her small hand.

"Lend me some Resonance Power," he said with a brilliant smile.

Then the Princess felt the Resonance Power in her body begin to surge out like a tide along the point where their hands were connected.
