Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1600 - 716: Heaven-Daring (Part 2)
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
In an instant, the sound of walls breaking constantly echoed in the labyrinth!
Coupled with the fierce battle sounds of two powerful humans and the roars and howls of various demons, the entire labyrinth was now in utter chaos!
In a corner of the labyrinth, there was a group that had just been pulled in not long ago, panting heavily to calm their fears.
"What was that just now?"
Jiu Xuansu clutched his racing heart, feeling intensely uncomfortable.
Too terrifying! Too terrifying!
Dozens of Great Demons were savagely tearing into each other, attacking madly.
Each Great Demon in there had terrifying destructive power, yet it was all absorbed by the labyrinth walls, keeping the battle’s aftermath within a narrow space!
If the team hadn’t reacted quickly, they might have been killed by the shock waves of the Great Demons!
They risked their lives to escape and made it out alive.
"Didn’t the sect say that the White Nightmare was just forming, and there wouldn’t be many monsters in the mist? Why...why..."
Others were also somewhat shell-shocked, speaking with trembling voices.
"Maybe we just have bad luck!" The team leader, Xiao Menghan, said darkly.
Though terrified, the sect mission was above everything else!
"Everyone, adjust your state. The sect paid a great price to send us into the nightmare illusion as the White Nightmare appeared. This fox hunt mission must not fail. We must immediately find the Illusion Fox Demon, capture it, and bring it back to the sect!"
"Yes, Senior Sister Han!"
Xiao Menghan had a good reputation among the team members, and her orders quickly gained everyone’s approval.
But Jiu Xuansu pursed his lips.
The sect previously said there were only Illusion Fox Demons in the illusion realm, no other demons.
Now? Suddenly, so many terrifying Great Demons appeared, completely inconsistent with the sect’s information.
As for the strength of the Illusion Fox Demon being weakest when the white mist first appears... Looking at it now, such talk is even less credible.
And about everyone being equal in the illusion realm, no strength difference, and personal combat prowess being the best indicator of strength...
Rubbish! Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish!!
It’s nothing like that! A Great Demon sweeping its tail would definitely lay Jiu Xuansu down instantly, never to move again.
Such monsters are absolutely beyond their strength to deal with.
Rumble bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo!!!
Just as the team gathered their spirits, the ground suddenly sent out intense vibrations, followed by a series of loud sounds of boulders rolling, seemingly moving in their direction!
Meanwhile, on the other side, there were also loud combat sounds, reverberations approaching from that direction.
Everyone’s expressions instantly became tense again, exchanging glances...
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!!!
Another series of explosive sounds came from behind, almost on the same level as the previous tremendous commotion.
What’s going on, what’s going on, what’s going on!!
This isn’t what the sect said, with only one Illusion Fox Demon in the illusion realm, nor is it the sect’s claimed best time for capture.
"Go back! I want to go back!"
Jiu Xuansu glared angrily at Xiao Menghan and shouted.
But Xiao Menghan ignored her request, instead coldly glancing at her, leading the team forward into the depths of the labyrinth.
Jiu Xuansu gritted his teeth and reluctantly followed.
Because only Xiao Menghan had the artifact to return to the sect.
Without following Xiao Menghan, acting alone would only lead to being lost in the vast labyrinth.
But after the team advanced for a while...
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!
That continuous sound of wall-breaking seemed to grow louder, almost as if... their current path was definitely the route of that horrifying commotion.
"Wait! Senior Sister Han..."
Jiu Xuansu shouted, but Xiao Menghan, head lowered, seemed wholly absorbed by the jade pendant in her hand, concentrating all her spiritual power on it, as if sensing something, oblivious to Jiu Xuansu’s caution.
That moment of delay...
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!!!
Suddenly, three loud crashes came from the front. As they raised their heads...
They all saw it.
Amidst flying debris from the shattered walls, a figure, appearing to hold something, leapt over them, followed by...
Bang!!!
The wall behind them was shattered on the spot, revealing a massive humanoid hole!
What was that?!
Jiu Xuansu hadn’t recovered from shock before the crisis had been resolved.
Looking back, there was no trace of any figure, only a series of interconnected wall breaches.
And these breaches, in her brief moment of distraction, had already been rapidly and automatically repaired, turning back into those intimidating tall walls.
"It was probably some monster... this way, everyone follow me, the Illusion Fox Demon is in this direction!"
Xiao Menghan, the slowest to react, was the most emotionally stable, seemingly drained of all spirit, unable to muster any emotional response.
She pointed the way and led the team forward.
Her confidant was the first to sense something amiss.
"Senior Sister Han, maybe we should rest a bit? You don’t look well..."
"Shut up! The sect’s mission is paramount! Every moment we spend here consumes a lot of the sect’s resources! Not a minute can be wasted!"
The confidant’s goodwill was entirely unappreciated, yet everyone could see the visible deterioration in Xiao Menghan’s state after she took out the pendant artifact to guide the direction.
Jiu Xuansu’s brows furrowed deeply; she didn’t want to die, but neither did she want to become a sect sacrifice, so she had to find a way to save herself.
This eerie place seemingly had no way out, let alone talking about hunting the Illusion Fox Demon.
As Jiu Xuansu thought about this, she suddenly felt her footsteps growing heavy.
Jiu Xuansu was very perceptive and sure she was not mistaken.
This heaviness felt like life’s energy was being stripped from her body, her steps growing heavier, her pace slower, her eyelids drooping dangerously.
So sleepy... sleepy...
Wait! Can’t sleep... can’t sleep!
Jiu Xuansu suddenly startled awake.
Upon opening her eyes, her senior brothers and sisters had already collapsed on the ground, with only Xiao Menghan still trudging forward like a bewitched person.
Jiu Xuansu even doubted whether Xiao Menghan’s consciousness remained.
"So cold..."
Jiu Xuansu felt the chill, suddenly realizing.
Given her strength and constitution, she shouldn’t be feeling cold, especially in such a windless place...
"Could it be... I’ve become weak?"
Thud.
Sound of something falling.
Jiu Xuansu looked ahead.
It was Xiao Menghan.
She couldn’t hold on anymore!
The artifact! Take the artifact to return to the sect! Then she could make it back!
The will to survive pushed Jiu Xuansu forward, even with footsteps heavy to lift, she persisted, step by step towards Xiao Menghan.
Thud!
She fell too.
But she hadn’t completely collapsed.
Because she was still crawling!
Breathing heavily, ever more difficult, but the mighty survival instinct drove her onward!
Nearing now, so close! Almost there!
Jiu Xuansu stretched her hand forward!
Step!
Her hand was heavily stomped on by a thick, elegant shoe!
In her dulled senses, Jiu Xuansu gradually lifted her head to see... a stranger, a middle-aged man covered in blood, missing an arm, bearing a bloody smile at her.
"Young girl, what have you just done? To affect the illusion realm here."
