A Hero Saves a Beauty-But Who Will Save the Hero?
The sharp blade sliced down from his wrist, dripping blood that pooled in mid-air.
Inside a roadside shop, a Young Girl with rolled-up sleeves and her Silver Hair tied in a ponytail at the back, her face slightly pale, looked calmly at the blood that was gradually filling half a basin in front of her.
As her blood was lost, her complexion grew increasingly pale, as if she were recovering from a serious illness.
The Young Girl stopped what she was doing when the basin she had randomly found in the room was filled with her blood.
Due to massive blood loss, her face was now terribly pale.
She took out some medical gauze from her Inventory, gave the wound a simple treatment, and then wrapped it tightly with Transparency tape. After that, the Young Girl reached into her waistband and pulled out the Jade Straight Blade.
The blade was as smooth as water, and even in the pitch-black darkness, it faintly shimmered with a cool light.
Calmly gripping the hilt, the Young Girl lowered the blade into the basin, like a large sponge falling into water. The moment the blood touched the blade, it was Greed devoured.
A moment later, all the blood in the basin was completely swallowed by the blade. However, despite swallowing so much blood, the blade itself did not undergo any significant changes, and it did not even stain the blade with any color.
However, the originally clear and cold light on the blade now faintly carried a thick, bloody hue.
The Young Girl's pale fingers gently brushed across the blade, then casually swung it to her side. With this swing, thin lines of blood silently appeared in the air.
And so, in the boundless darkness, flames rose and lit up the gloomy night sky.
"Boom--!!!"
In the deep darkness of the night, the intense flames from the Explosion were so conspicuous. After a moment of silence, as if a ladle of water had been added to a pot of boiling oil, the Monster that had been roaming around surged forth like a tidal wave.
--Monster Rampage!!!
Just like Bai Zhi's side, Ink-Stained Crystal's side also encountered the same situation: the Region Lord had been born, and terrifying Monster were starting to rampage in the night.
However, compared to Bai Zhi, who possessed numerous means of survival, Ink-Stained Crystal had very few. By the time she finally realized something was wrong, she was already surrounded by Monster.
Compared to the Giant Black Mud Monster Bai Zhi encountered, the creatures on her side were all sorts of bizarre and strange creatures, roughly a hundred different kinds at a glance, representing land, sea, and air, like a well-organized army, and each Monster seemed to have extremely tenacious Life.
Based on the Young Girl's own judgment, the specific Attribute Value of each Monster were roughly equivalent to those of a Player around level 20.
She could handle one of these Monsters, but here she was facing an attack from hundreds of them.
Trapped in this inescapable net, she would have no chance of escape even if she had wings, yet she remained remarkably calm, her face never revealing any other expression.
She has always had an indifferent attitude towards her own Life. Even if she were to disappear one day, probably not many people would miss her.
As the Monster surged toward her from all sides, the Young Girl silently raised the Jade Straight Blade in her hand. After fully absorbing her blood, the blade became unusually sinister.
With one hand gripping the hilt of the sword and the other hidden behind her back, she slashed forward.
In an instant, the air seemed to be torn apart by the blade, and a roaring shockwave burst forth from nowhere. The crimson impact swept and spread, instantly staining the surrounding darkness.
As dozens of Monsters were about to rush towards her, a diagonal line of blood appeared on their bodies, and their bodies were suddenly severed in two.
... but they are not dead yet.
An exceptionally powerful Life surged from them; some Monster' bodies wriggled and then reassembled automatically, Monster ignored their injuries and continued charging forward, and some Monster were even split in two and each transformed into a completely new Monster...
This is an "Undying Legion" with incredibly strong Life.
But the Young Girl had already achieved her goal.
A dozen or so thin, fiery red lines were rapidly spreading through the surrounding darkness, crawling across the ground and up the bodies of the Monster, meandering forward at a terrifying speed.
The vibrant crimson, like exquisite patterns, illuminated the surrounding darkness, creating an exceptionally beautiful picture in a short moment.
"I haven't paid this month's rent yet..."
She uttered words that sounded like either a muttering or a sigh, and as she looked at the crimson scroll before her, Young Girl raised her hand and slowly began to clench it.
But at that moment, a thunderclap suddenly erupted!!
A flash of lightning accompanied by a deafening roar swept in, and in the suddenly brightened world, before the Young Girl's astonished eyes, a handsome young man in a White Formalwear descended gracefully from the Tian Kong.
Behind them, the lightning and thunder Ignite a storm of electricity and sparks, causing the earth to tremble violently as the thunder of electricity and fire swept over them.
Above the boy, a Silver-White Streamlined Dragon let out a deafening roar that pierced the Tian Kong.
... It was like a dreamlike scene from Fairy Tale.
After turning its head to look in her direction, the other person's figure suddenly became blurry, and then reappeared in the distance in the next moment.
Like a loyal servant of its opponent, the silver-white dragon in the Tian Kong followed closely behind its opponent's movements, unleashing its Strength and loyalty to the disgusting Monster on the ground with deafening roars.
Staring blankly at the scenes unfolding in the distance, at a certain moment, the Jade Straight Blade in the Young Girl's hand suddenly fell straight down and stuck diagonally into the ground.
Immediately afterward, the pale-faced Young Girl also unconsciously slumped to the ground, the sharp pain from the wound on her wrist reminding her that she was still alive.
"I've been saved... Is this the power of a top-tier Player?"
Staring blankly at the distant lightning and fire, the Young Girl murmured something to herself, her thoughts unreadable.
At the same time.
"Damn it! You didn't have to chase me like this, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!? I really don't have Jizhi Tangjiang!!"
Bai Zhi narrowly escaped another White Burst Stream of Destruction by relying on the Teleportation ability of the [Magicians Formalwear]. He cursed under his breath.
"What's that guy over there doing?! Can't he see I'm in danger?! He's just sitting there watching, is he going to bring out popcorn and Cola later...? Hey, you bastard, move an inch!!!"
