"The Great Horned Legion has already collapsed."
Meng Chao said, "Judging from the current trend, within three to five days, 'Jackal' Kanus will devour all the surrendered soldiers of the Great Horned Legion and establish a new order.
"By then, this area will become his territory.
"And once he discovers that the Ancient Dream Saintess may still be alive, he will definitely mobilize every force at his disposal, forming an impregnable wall of bronze and iron to intercept and eliminate us.
"We must escape 'Jackal' Kanus's territory before the chaos comes to an end!"
As Meng Chao spoke, two flames ignited in his palms.
Just as Ice Storm had frozen the Ancient Dream Saintess in an instant, preventing her cells from swelling and bursting apart.
To thaw her, the temperature likewise had to be raised instantly to the normal human range of thirty-six to thirty-eight degrees.
One degree more or less could affect cellular activity and even endanger her life.
Naturally, this posed no difficulty for Meng Chao.
The flames in his palms surged and flickered, like two streams of magma erupting from within his body, transforming into ferocious fire wyrms that coiled around the ice crystal sealing the Ancient Dream Saintess.
Ice Storm, however, seemed to want to speak but held herself back.
Meng Chao raised an eyebrow. "Is there a problem?"
"No problem."
Ice Storm said, "It's just that you'd better prepare yourself. Don't be too startled by the Ancient Dream Saintess's appearance. She... is very unusual."
Meng Chao frowned slightly.
Of course he knew the Ancient Dream Saintess was highly unusual.
Otherwise, 'Jackal' Kanus could never have selected her from among countless ratmen, fashioned her into a puppet capable of slipping freely into others' dreams, and then cultivated her into the commander of the Great Horned Legion.
