Wasn't she a swordsmanship master?
How could she not even have calluses from gripping a blade?
A Herrscher's body was truly miraculous. Every scar on her body had been completely healed, leaving her perpetually delicate and soft, like a newborn baby.
Of course, this also meant that those who became Herrschers were completely different from humans—they were a new form of life.
"Why... did we suddenly start running?"
Mei froze for a moment before asking.
Zhao Bai answered, "Of course, because walking was too slow."
The answer was not unexpected, and Mei was not surprised. She simply found it very novel.
Mei had never run like this before, hand in hand with someone.
She could understand Zhao Bai's actions, but understanding did not mean she was used to them.
Amid the chaos, she was unable to keep pace with Zhao Bai, stumbling along in a thoroughly miserable state.
She only hoped Zhao Bai would stop soon.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Bai stopped. His nose twitched lightly, and his brow furrowed.
He caught a faint scent of Honkai energy. The closer he got to the center, the stronger that scent became.
However, this was a desolate wilderness, not one of those densely populated cities. The possibility of a major Honkai eruption and the birth of a Herrscher was almost zero.
But he absolutely could not let his guard down!
Zhao Bai heard a miserable roar. Distorted completely by the refraction of the high heat, it was impossible to identify the species. He immediately drew his blade and slashed. An invisible blade light spread outward, splitting the flames into a passage and allowing Zhao Bai to clearly see the creature.
A huge cow.
Zhao Bai rubbed his eyes, making sure he had not seen wrong.
A huge, burning cow!
