Seeing those monsters erging from the water, the reserve team mbers on the shore panicked.
So scrambled to flee.
Others, bolder, drew their weapons and wildly hacked at the monsters.
Just as Wu Zhenzhen had previously said, those monsters had impenetrable hides; blades struck, sending sparks flying, but their edges crumpled, leaving the monsters unhard.
In the chaos, the monsters bit off limbs of team mbers with a single bite, and the screams of agony were chilling to the bone.
anwhile, the team mbers who tried to run didn’t get far.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
A volley of arrows shot out from the wooden house on the opposite bank of the river.
The arrows struck those team mbers who tried to escape. The horrified reserves gasped in shock.
Wu Zhenzhen sneered.
"I’ve warned you all before that there’s only moving forward, no way back. That is the rule of the Competition Among Ten Countries."
"Wanwan, tell Dugu Wu that no one can break the rules, not even him."
Wu Zhenzhen sneered. No matter how formidable Dugu Wu was, he was currently out of reach; if he thought to use Wu Wanwan and the official team mbers of the Chen Dynasty to threaten her, she was not afraid at all.
"Sister."
Fear tinged Wu Wanwan’s voice.
Amidst the turmoil, soone said.
"Everyone, don’t panic, just throw these bodies over."
The speaker was Feng Bailing.
Facing the bloodshed on the ground, she spoke calmly.
She and Xia Xing had earlier dragged so bodies ashore, and no one understood her intention.
It turned out she planned to feed those bodies to the monsters. Wu Zhenzhen’s eyes flashed with surprise.
The opponent actually had so brains. However, it was rely a temporary asure.
The river held far more monsters than they imagined. Eating the corpses would only solve the imdiate crisis. By noon tomorrow, the monsters would still not spare them.
Seeing the others unmoved, Feng Bailing was the first to step forward, tossing a corpse toward an approaching monster.
Ravenous, the monster bit into the corpse, blood splattering everywhere.
Slling the blood, the other monsters pounced, and nauseating chewing sounds followed. The bodies were quickly torn to pieces.
After the group of monsters wolfed down their al, Xia Xing threw out the second corpse.
Seeing this, the other reserves nervously threw all the remaining corpses over.
Soon, all the bodies were gone, and the monsters, mostly sated, temporarily halted their assault.
They lay by the shore, still hungrily eyeing the people above.
Seeing the team mbers not attempting to escape anymore, those in the wooden house did not shoot any more arrows.
"Sister, Dugu Wu he..."
Wu Wanwan’s feeble voice ca again.
Wu Zhenzhen said impatiently.
"Tell Dugu Wu to co collect his woman’s corpse at noon tomorrow."
Then, Wu Wanwan’s voice disappeared.
Wu Zhenzhen furrowed her brows. That madman Dugu Wu wouldn’t really kill Wanwan in front of so many leaders, would he?
No, that person would certainly stop him.
As she thought this, Wu Zhenzhen suddenly felt an unusual sensation within her body.
Deep in her flesh, a strange power fluctuated.
Not good!
Could it be that Dugu Wu had discovered the "secret" within Wanwan and was tracing back the vine...
Wu Zhenzhen was greatly startled; however, before she could confirm her suspicions, she discovered with horror that her body had moved on its own.
A sense of fear instantly enveloped her whole being.
"Wanwan, what’s happening?"
Wu Zhenzhen tried to communicate with Wu Wanwan, but there was no response. Instead, an icy, bone-chilling voice echoed in her mind.
The man’s indifferent voice said.
"Wu Zhenzhen, you’ve brought this upon yourself."
Wu Zhenzhen’s leg took a step forward.
Her body moved on its own, not because she wanted to move, but because her body was dominated by a terrifying volition. It moved beyond her control, taking one large step forward, and then another, as if she would walk towards the riverbank.
On the riverbank, a large number of monsters still lurked.
The Wenhua Seal masters are known for controlling people’s wills, similar to the Blessing Technique, yet Dugu Wu was able to control Wu Zhenzhen’s will through space, simply by leveraging the connection between the Wu sisters.
Large beads of sweat dripped from Wu Zhenzhen’s forehead.
Her steps were unhesitant, moving towards the front, getting nearer, closer still.
In the distance, atop a mountain.
Wu Wanwan’s eyes were wide; her pretty face pale, she seed petrified.
She stared at Dugu Wu in horror, knowing that her sister had encountered great trouble.
The leaders of the other countries also looked at Wu Wanwan in astonishnt.
"Dugu Wu, what have you done to my sister?"
Wu Wanwan’s voice trembled, her face filled with fright.
"Stop him quickly, he wants to kill my sister."
Dugu Wu, this demon, how could she control Wu Zhenzhen’s... Wu Zhenzhen’s body? How did he manage to do that?
Dugu Wu remained unmoved, his cold eyes watching her, those heterochromic eyes sparkling like jewels in the night.
"What’s the matter with that woman, Wu Wanwan? Saw a ghost?"
Princess Changle asked, sowhat unclear, whispering to Xiao Junci beside her.
"Master, let’s go find Bai Ling."
Ouyang Chenchen also didn’t understand what Dugu Wu was up to; she just wanted to find Feng Bailing quickly.
Who would have known that Mr. Nan Chen would remain silent, his expression more solemn than ever before, staring at Dugu Wu.
Ouyang Chenchen and Xiao Junci’s ilk, being martial artists, naturally did not sense the changes in Dugu Wu’s aura. Princess Changle, with insufficient cultivation, also failed to recognize the terror of Dugu Wu.
Mr. Nan Chen, like everyone else, had always thought Dugu Wu was simply a Wuji Master; they had no idea he also possessed such terrifying prowess in Wen Energy.
Under the cover of night, everyone had their own concerns.
On the other side, by the riverbank.
"What should we do next?"
Xia Xing wiped the bright sweat from her forehead.
They no longer had any extra bodies at hand; if those monsters beca hungry again and launched another attack, it would be troubleso.
But they couldn’t escape; the archers lurking in the house across could turn them into a hornet’s nest in an instant.
"Wait for dawn."
Feng Bailing looked towards the sky, where the east was already showing a fish belly white, indicating that it would be light soon.
Feng Bailing silently calculated in her mind.
Footsteps nearby interrupted Feng Bailing’s thoughts.
They saw Wu Zhenzhen walking toward the group of monsters.
"What is that woman up to now?"
Xia Xing said displeased.
"Stop quickly."
Wu Zhenzhen was truly scared; her body was completely out of her control, approaching the group of creatures in the water.
