Xu Qingtong was chatting with Zhang Mengwei when his expression suddenly shifted, and he shot eastward.
"Miss Zhang, Sun Lan is in danger. I'm going to help her. Be careful!" Xu Qingtong transmitted his voice to Zhang Mengwei, but he was already rapidly disappearing from her sight.
Moments later, Xu Qingtong reached Sun Lan's defensive position. Three magic beasts had surrounded her, two of the fourth tier and one of the third tier.
Sun Lan was already wounded, her clothes in tatters. She barely maintained a shield, struggling to hold on. Although the Demonic Wind Leopard was only third tier, it was fast and powerful, with combat strength no lower than that of a fourth-tier Demon Hound!
The two Demon Hounds worked together seamlessly, often attacking from front and rear, above and below. Sun Lan could barely fend them off, much less fight back!
Xu Qingtong dared not delay. With a wave, he sent out the Houtu Seal, which flew above Sun Lan's head. Light flashed, and a thick ring of earthen walls instantly rose around her.
Sun Lan jumped, thinking it was a spell cast by the magic beasts. She was just about to find a way to break through when the two Demon Hounds each spat out a dark red fireball, which slammed into the earthen walls.
The walls merely shuddered, showing no sign of breaking. Seeing that their powerful defenses had blocked the Demon Hounds' attacks for her, Sun Lan felt greatly reassured and hurriedly looked around.
"Brother Guo, thank you for lending a hand! These three magic beasts are too powerful. We can't fight them head-on! I've already sent Captain Ma a message. We only need to hold out until he arrives, and we'll be saved!" Sun Lan said.
Xu Qingtong smiled faintly. "It's all right!
