The seeds quickly grew into slender grass vines, not to bind the enemy, but to conduct energy.
First Soul Skill, Life Drain!
Through the Blue Silver Grass parasitizing his companions' wounds, Tang San forcibly extracted the strange crystal energy eroding their flesh, converting it into life force to feed back into the three of them and slow their crystallization.
Yet the crystal energy was extraordinarily stubborn, making it painfully slow to drain and enormously costly to Tang San's own Soul Power.
At the same time, several more arrows flew from different angles within the luminous mist, targeting Tang San, Jiang Zhu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai—the healer and those protecting him!
"Damn it! She's hidden while we're exposed!"
Dai Mubai swung his tiger claws and knocked aside the arrow aimed at him, the impact numbing his arm.
Zhu Zhuqing moved like lightning and barely evaded two attacks, but in this restricted environment, her speed advantage was greatly diminished.
"Get out! We can't fight in here!" Tang San made his decision at once. The Blue Silver Grass suddenly recoiled, pulling the three injured companions as he, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing rapidly retreated beyond the luminous mist.
Just as they were about to leave the mist's range—
Boom!
The luminous mist above them churned violently.
Melida's figure had somehow already leaped high into the air, suspended atop the enormous seven-colored pillar of light.
The Crystal Bow in her hand shone brilliantly, its string vibrating fiercely with a clear hum.
She looked down on the Shrek team as they staggered out of the luminous mist, her gaze cold, red hair streaming behind her like a deity presiding over her domain.
Her Red Lips parted slightly, and her voice descended through the pillar of light with an icy echo.
