Chapter 105

Finally, I can taste it once more......

Four days later.

Noon, bright sunshine.

Northeast of the outer perimeter of the Gale Mountain Range, near a stream.

The Swift Wind Wolf was lowering its head to drink by the river, while Zhou Yi stood to one side looking at a map.

"Dark Miasma Valley. If I still can't find the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus there tomorrow, then I'll have no choice but to head back."

Looking at the last unexplored spot in the northeast direction on the map, Zhou Yi sighed.

In this past month, apart from the areas of the Gale Mountain Range's outer perimeter occupied by dangerous magical beasts,

and this last spot, Dark Miasma Valley, which remained unexplored, he had visited nearly every other area.

And Dark Miasma Valley is shrouded year-round in a strange, eerie energy, where magical beasts and plants can barely survive.

Almost no professional would ever go there.

Most likely, there wouldn't be any trace of the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus either.

But since he had already come this far, Zhou Yi still decided to go take a look.

"Little Black, let's keep moving."

At the call, the Swift Wind Wolf by the stream quickly came to Zhou Yi's side.

Just as he had flipped himself onto the Swift Wind Wolf's back, the smart watch on his right wrist suddenly vibrated violently.

At the same time, a dot of light appeared on the map on the watch face.

The smart watch on Zhou Yi's right wrist was basic electronic equipment issued by the supply base.

It contained not only a map of the Gale Mountain Range marked with various dangerous locations, but could also display his own positional information.

Of course, for safety reasons, to prevent one professional from robbing another,

professionals within the Gale Mountain Range were unable to see the positional information of other professionals.

··········Please give flowers····· 0

The sudden appearance of a positional light signal at this moment could only mean the other party was calling for help!!

"A distress signal, and it doesn't seem too far from here. Let's go take a look."

Zhou Yi quickly made his decision.

As fellow human professionals fighting for their lives within the Gale Mountain Range, if he could lend a hand, he would.

Hoo~~

On a jungle path covered in dead leaves, a group of five, each mounted on a magical beast, fled frantically.

The one at the front, tall and slender, wearing light cyan leather armor, was none other than Su Qinglian of the Blue Kite Squad!

By now, the leather armor Su Qinglian was wearing had already suffered some damage.

As her mount ran, even she herself was faintly showing some unintended glimpses of skin.

Unlike male professionals, even in dangerous wilderness mountains, female professionals would still pay some attention to their appearance.

But right now, she had no mind to spare for such things at all.

Because behind them was a terrifying group of pursuers!

"Why? Why would there be demons inside the Gale Mountain Range?!"

Su Qinglian's pretty face was deathly pale, her usual composure long gone.

Demons!!

One of the five major races of another world, born with an affinity for dark attributes, similar in form to humans, but with an extra pair of demon horns on their heads.

And extremely brutal! They loved devouring living prey!

They generally only existed in another world; no one had expected to encounter them within the Gale Mountain Range this time.

That massive horde of demons with terrifying strength.

If they hadn't used several trump cards, they would have had no way to escape!

Even so, the enemy still hadn't given up, hotly pursuing them from behind!

"Captain, I don't think I can hold on much longer!"

The petite loli Wen Tianrun at the rear of the group let out a pained, delicate moan.

Her right arm was already gone, and the right half of her clothing was soaked through with fresh blood.

As a summoner whose main stat allocation was agility and wisdom, the agony of losing her right arm had already left her consciousness severely blurred.

"Xiao Wen, hold on!"

"We're almost out!"

"Xiao Yi, give her another Mind Concentration Technique!"

Su Qinglian said hurriedly.

"Yes!" 7

The purple-black-haired girl Zhang Yi in the group nodded quickly, and a faint golden glow burst from the tip of her right-hand staff: 0

"Mind Concentration Technique!" 3

A golden light enveloped the armless Wen Tianrun. 2

But it only lifted her spirits a little; blood still poured unchecked from her right arm. 1

"Damn it!" 6

"I should have dragged Zhou Yi into the team back then!" 2

Seeing this, Su Qinglian couldn't help feeling a twinge of regret. 2

At this moment, the drawback of a team without a priest class had already revealed itself: poor recovery! 0

There's absolutely no way to save the heavily injured teammate!

"Captain, there's no use regretting it now."

"My magic power is already completely spent. What I just used was my final skill."

Zhang Yi, riding atop a Bai Hu, said with a bitter smile.

"Magic power completely spent?"

Su Qinglian's face turned another shade paler.

Behind them, four more Level-22 demons were in pursuit.

In the earlier battle, they had exhausted every last trump card just to slay another four demons.

And the magical energy on their bodies had already been mostly consumed—even their teammate Wen Tianrun was suffering heavy injuries!

It could be said they had reached the point of being utterly spent!

"Roar!!"

Hearing the roars drawing ever closer from behind, a look of despair surfaced on Su Qinglian's delicate features.

Could it be that her squad was truly going to perish here today?
