Shao Yu Holds the Rear Guard

"Let's leave here first and go back to the Twin Guardian Pavilion to see if there's any way to save him." Mochizuki Chihiro had no idea what to do either, but letting Mu Bai's body lie exposed in the wilderness was definitely out of the question.

"Oh my god!!!"

Just then, Cao Qinqin suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Shao Yu and Mochizuki Chihiro turned to look at her at the same time.

Cao Qinqin knew her shouting was inappropriate, but the scene before her was simply too shocking...

"You... you guys look behind you..." Cao Qinqin said, pointing in the direction they had just run out from.

Mochizuki Chihiro and Shao Yu both looked over at the same time...

At the same time, both of them were completely stunned...

What was once an endless Volcanic Islands has now been transformed into a vast ocean! That's right, although it started as fiery red lava, it has been gradually and imperceptibly covered by the blue sea!

Although a few small islands still stand in the distance, compared to the previous landscape, this area is now completely divided into sea!

No wonder Cao Qinqin was surprised; who could have imagined that this volcanic region would eventually be swallowed by the ocean?

Moreover, they are currently located on the very edge of the Volcanic Islands. Such a large island, just like that, gone...

The three women couldn't help but wonder, what exactly had Tang Miao done?

What exactly was he fighting against?

"Alright, stop standing there, let's go. Every moment we delay, Mu Bai gets one step closer to his death!" At this moment, Shao Yu was the first to come to her senses and said.

Upon hearing this, the two women agreed. Then, Cao Qinqin and Shao Yu took turns carrying Tang Miao on their backs, while Mochizuki Chihiro was responsible for wrapping Mu Bai in water.

There's no way around it; Mu Bai is like a high-temperature furnace right now, and none of them can carry him or anything like that—they'd probably melt at any moment...

The three women left the area, but when they were halfway there, they suddenly discovered that the sky was filled with firebirds!

They seem to have a special interest in these girls who are expending a lot of magical energy!

"I'll stall them for a bit, you guys run!" Shao Yu said.

Facing so many Feather Demons, it was virtually impossible for the three of them to escape together, especially since their Magic Boots were almost completely depleted.

"With so many Feather Demons, isn't staying here just suicide?" Cao Qinqin said weakly.

"If I don't stay, then we'll all die!" Shao Yu said again.

"Let's go!" said Mochizuki Chihiro Chika.

There's no way around it; this is definitely not the time to procrastinate.

Honestly, Shao Yu Mochizuki Chihiro's personality. As she left, Mochizuki Chihiro turned back and said, "We'll wait for you at the edge. You must live!"

"Although it's a bit of a curse on myself, you shouldn't wait for me. Whether they live or die depends on you. You should head straight back to the Twin Guardian Pavilion after you leave here!" Shao Yu shook her head and said.

Given Tang Miao Mu Bai's condition, it's clear that they cannot delay and must receive timely treatment.

Of course, Shao Yu felt that Tang Miao would be fine. After all, what serious injury hadn't he suffered?

During the time he guarded the Huaxia coastline, it felt like Tang Miao was covered in wounds, but he fully recovered in the last month or so.

So, whether he survives or not ultimately depends on Mu Bai...

Without further ado, Mochizuki Chihiro turned and started running. Although she didn't have Magic Boots, she was still a Super Level Mage, and her fourth element was Wind Element. Although she hadn't reached the high rank yet, her movement speed wasn't slow.

Cao Qinqin used her Earth Element movement skill, and of course, she glanced at Shao Yu again before leaving.

Shao Yu, however, paid them no attention whatsoever, her gaze fixed intently on the firebirds in the sky.

The firebirds had naturally seen Mochizuki Chihiro and Mochizuki flee, and immediately flew up to arrest them. With thousands of birds in their flock, how could one human possibly be enough?

"Kill Music - Explode!"

But just as those firebirds that were about to fly over Shao Yu's head passed by, Shao Yu suddenly uttered a note.

"Bang!!"

Quite suddenly, several firebirds had their heads blown off in an instant!

"The Severing Burial Song!"

Then dozens more, defiant and determined, tried to fly over there, but how could Shao Yu grant their wish? A soul-stirring melody was played, and these dozens of firebirds crashed almost instantly.

"Kun's Forest"

"Pfft pfft pfft~!!!"

As they crashed, the plants on the ground transformed into sharp spears, piercing and killing them one by one...

The firebirds stopped trying to fly over there and began attacking Shao Yu. Clearly, they had realized that this human was no pushover and that they would have to eliminate him to hunt down their prey.

"Pfft pfft pfft~!!!"

Small pillars of fire shot out as the Feather Demon flapped their fiery wings!

Facing the dense, arrow-like pillars of fire, Shao Yu remained fearless. Her golden constellation flashed, and a massive shield of light appeared before her.

"Bang bang bang~!!!"

"Bang bang bang~!!!"

"..."

The attacks from the miscellaneous birds were almost entirely blocked. But no matter how strong the light shield was, it couldn't withstand the attacks of thousands of firebirds, and Shao Yu knew this. Just as the light shield was about to shatter, she had already run to a higher place.

"Light Falls Ten Thousand Zhang!"

The golden light flashed again, transforming into tiny, Shatter Stone objects that then hurtled towards the flock of birds.

Dozens more miscellaneous birds were hit and fell to the ground. Shao Yu's magic power was not very sufficient, so her killing method was naturally insufficient.

So, after resisting for a while, Shao Yu started running in the opposite direction from Mochizuki Chihiro and the others.

At this moment, the firebirds, whose hatred had been stirred up, naturally stopped chasing any other prey; their target was firmly fixed on Shao Yu.

This was exactly what Shao Yu wanted. Seeing the flock of birds chasing after her, she attacked almost as she ran.

Of course, to conserve mana, Shao Yu's spells were almost all Beginner Magic, which is why they didn't cause much damage to the Feather Demon...

Moreover, no matter how fast she was, in this place without cover, it was practically a dead end; she had absolutely no chance of escaping the pursuit of the demons...

But Shao Yu showed no sign of giving up. She dodged the firebirds' attacks, occasionally retaliating, but her frantic running showed no sign of stopping.
