“Ah Ze, although the demonic beasts here are illusions, they can still inflict injuries that go unnoticed,” Qian Jiyun reminded him.
“Yes.” An Jiuyue snapped her fingers and agreed with Qian Jiyun.
“These demonic beasts are manifested from demonic energy. If you don’t defeat them, you’ll be injured by them. Hence, these demonic beasts are no different from real demonic beasts.
“If there’s any difference, it’s that even if they can’t kill you, they might swallow you whole, and you’ll still be perfectly fine the next day,” she said.
Bai Ze, Yan Feng, and Long Xuan were speechless.
If they were swallowed whole by the fake demonic beasts, wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?
Alright, in order not to embarrass themselves, they should give it their all. However…
The three of them looked up at the Demon Heart Vortex in unison. How long would it take them to reach the foot of the vortex? They wondered where Zhao Xi and the other person had gone.
Compared to Qian Jiyun and the others, whose clothes were neat and tidy, Zhao Xi and the man looked increasingly disheveled.
Not only the man, but even Zhao Xi was not spared. Her clothes were covered in blood, and she did not know if the blood belonged to her or the man beside her.
“When can we reach the foot of the vortex?!”
The man gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Xi with bloodshot eyes. He had asked Zhao Xi this question countless times.
“Soon,” Zhao Xi replied perfunctorily like before.
She wanted to shout at him too. Who was she supposed to ask? The Demon Heart Vortex was clearly right in front of her, but she could not reach it no matter what. She wanted to ask someone too!
“Soon?!” The man glared at Zhao Xi fiercely.
“Your ‘soon’ is indeed quite soon, huh? Miss Zhao, it seems like I won’t have to deal with the demonic beasts in the future, right? I’ll have to see how capable you are.”
“You—” Zhao Xi was so angry that she almost lost her breath.
What did he mean by not having to deal with the demonic beasts? Was he trying to leave everything to her?
“What are you talking about? We came in together. I still need demonic energy to open the Demon Heart Vortex and Demon Destruction Valley. If I waste my demonic energy here, then…”
“Zhao, do you really think I’m that gullible? This is Wulong Mountain. Even if you use up all your demonic energy now, it will replenish automatically after midnight, right?”
“Uhm!”
Zhao Xi was rendered speechless.
“What if we reach the foot of the vortex soon? I won’t have the strength to open the vortex then.”
She thought for a moment and could only brush him off.
“I don’t know when the people from Jun Lin Hall will catch up to us. If we can’t enter the Demon Heart Vortex before them, you won’t get anything.
“Not only that, but we’ll also lose our lives. Do you understand?” she reminded him.
How could the man not understand this?
But how could he deal with so many demonic beasts alone?
Moreover, the closer they got to the Demon Heart Vortex, the stronger these demonic beasts became. If this continued, he would definitely not be able to defeat them.
“So you’re still going to stand by and do nothing? You don’t want to help at all?” he asked Zhao Xi coldly..
