Chapter 1041

"Has she also been hit?"

Hu Tao watched in surprise as Yukong, who was at the center of the battlefield, suddenly clutched her forehead and fell from the air.

It seemed that because Yukong had fallen into confusion, the Cloud Knights' retreat became increasingly rapid.

Hu Tao couldn't help but look worriedly at Tingyun, who was standing beside her with her brows slightly furrowed, appearing to be very concerned about Yukong.

However, only Tingyun herself knew that while she was indeed worried about Yukong, the direction of her concern was at the complete opposite extreme of what Hu Tao and the others were thinking.

If you were to die too easily, it would be a terrible pity.

Tingyun murmured in her heart.

………………

"Is the situation a bit dire now?"

"Mr. Yang, what should we do? Should we go and help?"

March 7th asked, looking at Welt Yang beside her.

"Although the Cloud Knights are retreating, the retreat is orderly."

"And not a single person has truly fallen into Mara-Struck."

"We have the duty of being a surprise force, so it is best for us to wait and see for now."

Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and said.

"Indeed, the prescription from Mr. Luo Feng will certainly not be ineffective."

"The fact that not a single Cloud Knight has truly fallen into Mara-Struck is proof."

Morax said.

"So that's how it is. Miss Tingyun, you don't need to worry; Miss Yukong will definitely be fine."

Hu Tao said, looking at Tingyun.

"Is that so? Then I can rest easy."

Tingyun nodded slightly, feeling happy that Yukong would be safe for the time being.

After all, she was still looking forward to personally "entertaining" Yukong later.

On the other hand, Tingyun was also full of curiosity about the fact that the prescription Luo Feng had created could resist the mist researched by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.

That Luo Feng possesses a few too many abilities.

Tingyun thought to herself.

As a member involved in the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's plan, she knew that Sister Dan Shu intended to use the mist that induces Mara-Struck to suppress the Cloud Knights.

They had even placed medicinal materials capable of releasing large amounts of Mara-Struck-inducing mist inside the huge alchemy furnace on the only path leading to the deepest part of the Alchemy Commission.

And now, the Cloud Knights had not experienced the large-scale incidents of falling into Mara-Struck as planned.

Tingyun was worried that the Cloud Knights might charge directly into the poisonous mist from the alchemy furnace to pursue Sister Dan Shu later.

Although she didn't care about Sister Dan Shu's life or death, Tingyun would also feel displeased if the plan deviated so easily.

"Why don't we go and rendezvous with Diviner Fu Xuan first?"

"Perhaps there will be a place for us to be of use later."

Keqing said.

Since the main force of the Cloud Knights hadn't achieved victory on the front lines, Keqing felt it was time for their surprise force to step in.

"Mm-hmm, let's go see Diviner Fu Xuan."

"This mist from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus is too bizarre."

"Even if we take the medicine Diviner Fu Xuan gave us earlier, we can't guarantee there's no risk, right?"

March 7th said, glancing at Neuvillette, Yae Miko, Morax, and the others.

"Sigh, if only I had one of Luo Feng's cards containing the power of memory."

"His cards would definitely be able to resist the erosion of that bizarre mist."

March 7th sighed.

"Don't feel too anxious about this, little March." Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and analyzed rationally:

"Mr. Luo Feng handed the cards containing the power of memory to Mr. Neuvillette, Miss Yae Miko, and others."

"He even went as far as to remind Miss Fu Xuan beforehand to have the Cloud Knights take medicine that suppresses Mara-Struck before the battle began."

"Clearly, he had already anticipated the current situation from the very beginning."

"Since he didn't hand the cards to you or me, it must be because short-lived species like us will not fall into Mara-Struck."

Morax nodded in agreement and said:

"According to what Lady Fu Xuan said, Mara-Struck is related to a person's emotional threshold."

"For long-lived species who have lived for too long, their emotional thresholds have more or less increased significantly."

"This is true even for the Cloud Knights, who are still considered young for long-lived species, even if they have only lived for two or three hundred years."

"Therefore, they need to use medicine that can suppress the poisonous mist developed by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus that induces Mara-Struck."

"But for short-lived species who have only lived for twenty or thirty years, their emotional threshold probably hasn't reached the minimum standard for the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist to take effect."

"So, as short-lived species, we don't need to worry about the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist affecting us."

Yae Miko's lips curled up, and she said with a light laugh:

"And as short-lived species, it's probably hard to say that we have gone through many sad or painful experiences."

"Without our emotional thresholds reaching a high enough level, and without having gone through many painful experiences,"

"it is naturally very difficult for short-lived species to fall into Mara-Struck."

【Arataki Itto: Hearing this, I feel like the hard requirement for falling into Mara-Struck isn't being a long-lived species, but having an emotional threshold that's high enough, and enough painful memories?】

【Kuki Shinobu: Stupid boss, the prerequisite for raising your emotional threshold to a sufficient level is having enough age. In other words, being a long-lived species is the prerequisite for falling into Mara-Struck.】

【Paimon: So that's how it is. I finally understand now.】

【Lumine: I have a feeling that if I went to the Xianzhou and got hit by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's trick, I might also fall into Mara-Struck.】

【Paimon: Ah?! Traveler, are you usually very miserable?】

【Prince:???】

【Alice: It seems the Traveler isn't as relaxed and carefree as they appear on the surface.】

【Lumine: It's... it's alright. I was just saying. It's not certain if the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist would actually be useful against me.】

Although Lumine had lived for many years, she felt her state of mind was still quite young.

Even though she had experienced the separation from her brother, at least she knew her brother was still alive.

Therefore, those painful experiences didn't carry much weight in her heart.
