Chapter 393: The Final Plea (4/10, Autumn Subscription)

After centuries of research and medicinal preservation, even the Hua Family does not know what effects the Yi Yuan Worm now has.

The only thing clear is… after consuming the Yi Yuan Worm, the consumer's strength will skyrocket!

But at the same time, life will rapidly drain away!

So Hua Wuye ran—she ran frantically.

Her youthful face, in the act of running, gradually sprouted wrinkles; her taut skin sagged; her entire body's muscles withered.

She was heading toward death's end!

From the moment she swallowed the Yi Yuan Worm, the countdown of her life had already begun!!

Like a gust of wind, she surged between them just as Fang Yue closed his eyes and gave up hope.

When the first human-bone kite dove toward Fang Yue…

Zong!!

That human-bone kite suddenly shattered as if sliced by a gale, exploding into countless bone fragments.

At that moment, Hua Wuye had just stopped before Fang Yue.

"Xiao Ye! Go to them!"

Hua Wuye's voice changed in stages.

The first word was still her normal tone, but by the end, it had become hoarse and aged.

When Fang Yue, stunned, opened his eyes and looked at the figure beside her, he froze.

"You… who are you?"

The woman before him, in crossing that distance, had transformed from a girl into a middle-aged woman.

The face ravaged by rapid aging made Fang Yue fail to recognize her—he nearly thought this aging woman was a weirdness.

"It's me! Hua Wuye! I can't hold on much longer—go now!"

Hua Wuye gently lifted, and Fang Yue was instantly raised by an invisible force.

With another powerful shove, he shot sideways with a whoosh—the scenery blurring past him.

"Lin Ge, catch him!"

Hua Wuye's aged voice rang out; Lin Ling finally snapped back to awareness. As Fang Yue's figure flew toward him, he hastily reached out and caught him, then gazed at Hua Wuye with sorrow and pain.

"Wuye, I've got Xiao Ye—come back! Let's retreat together!"

It's… already too late.

Once you consume the Yi Yuan Worm, there's no turning back!

And the duration is extremely short; the strength boost is still based on the consumer's original level.

So before, even after consuming the Yi Yuan Worm, she was no match for Ma Ling'er'er.

Memorizing Lin Ling's final face, Hua Wuye turned to face the furious Black Cloud diving down.

"For… Gu Yue Cun!!"

Hua Wuye's aged body shot upward, colliding with the violent Black Cloud—and after a brief pause, was instantly swallowed!

Zong!

Zong!!

Zong!!!

Roaring, piercing winds occasionally erupted from within, as large sections of human-bone kites disintegrated into scattered bones, falling to the ground.

But soon, this piercing wind grew weaker and weaker, until it vanished completely.

Lin Ling's eyes turned red; his fists clenched tightly.

"Captain Lin!"

The squad members looked at Lin Ling with worry; he gritted his teeth and slowly shook his head.

"I'm fine. We leave now—with Xiao Ye!"

Lin Ling had someone carry the powerless Fang Yue, turned his back on the Black Cloud, and led the remaining villagers away—toward Lord Han.

Fang Yue had lost his combat power; the Wu Yu Clan still raged—only Lord Han could still turn the tide!

Perhaps because this power drain was too extreme.

Even though Ye Zhi Huxi was frantically healing his injuries, Fang Yue couldn't move even a single finger—he could only be carried away by Lin Ling.

"If I could regain mobility, those human-bone kites behind us wouldn't…"

As Fang Yue thought this, he saw human-bone kites from every direction of the village surging toward them—so densely packed they formed another Black Cloud.

Before such numbers, the crippled Lin Ling, a postnatal Third-rate Realm cultivator, was utterly inadequate.

Even if the entire Mo Cun force were brought here, they could not handle such a swarm of weirdnesses.

At best, they could only hope to resist.

But Mo Cun had no Lord Han, and when the Wu Yu Clan appeared at Mo Cun, they were at their peak—featuring Black Grade High and even Blood Grade weirdnesses rivaling Ma Ling'er'er.

Now, after Mo Cun's depletion and Blue大人's interception, only this remnant remained—giving Gu Yue Cun its last chance to survive.

More and more survivors were gathering here.

More and more human-bone kites were sealing off this area.

The two sides seemed to be converging for a final clash.

Before the vast army of human-bone kites, the number of Gu Yue Cun survivors was pitifully small.

The Gu Yue Cun survivors were chased in all directions, but fortunately, the bone ball ahead was drawing nearer.

Yet the battle between Lord Han and Chen Lao of the Wu Yu Clan had yet to decide a victor.

Fang Yue's heart sank—he could move now, but only enough to keep pace with the group; to fight, he needed Ye Zhi Huxi to recover further.

"The parchment!"

【99.5%！】

"You told me back then that digesting the silver stone only takes a few minutes — you were lying to me!"

【No, the great Lord Parchment never lies! Don't slander me! Isn't it perfectly normal for the predicted result to differ from the actual situation? A small discrepancy doesn't count as a discrepancy!】

Discrepancy my ass! The gap is way too huge!

Fang Yue's face darkened. If Hua Wuye hadn't stepped in to save the situation, he would have just died at the hands of the Wu Yu tribe's army.

Just picturing that scene was miserable enough — after finally blowing up the big BOSS, he ended up beaten to death by a mob of small monsters. What a wretched way to go.

But the world was unpredictable; if such a situation really did arise, there was nothing he could do about it.

Up ahead, the bone sphere was getting closer and closer.

And the surrounding human-bone kites had already completely closed in around them.

"If we keep running forward, we'll be surrounded by them — everyone will die!" Fang Yue couldn't help shouting.

But Lin Ling's face was dark as she said in a low voice, "Then we still have to run to the bone sphere! Our only hope is Lord Han! Without Lord Han's rescue, even if we run outside the village, we won't get far before we're caught. By then, apart from you who's recovered his strength, everyone else will die!"

Fang Yue's strength was only enough to protect himself.

To protect all the other people from the Wu Yu tribe was simply impossible.

Only one person could do such a thing — Lord Han!

Fang Yue fell silent, offered no more opinions, and just quietly continued channeling his strength to recover.

Finally, amid the frantic sprint, the main force reached the bone sphere.

Ignoring the Black Cloud chasing from behind, as well as the Wu Yu tribe closing in from all sides, Lin Ling threw herself against the bone sphere and hammered on its surface with all her might.

"Lord Han! Lord Han, save us! Gu Yue Cun is about to be finished, everyone's about to die! Come out and save us!"
