The Blue Valley Ferocious Beast snorted hard, knocking the water vapor of the mist down like raindrops.

Mu Ningxue was hiding in the building, yet she could still feel the cold, wet air flowing in her direction.

Both she and the Night Rakshasa were holding their breath, as they were afraid that even the slightest gasp would attract the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast’s attention. They were no match against the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, not to mention the group of creatures sticking close to it that had mouths like sharks and sharp bones on their joints. Their size was similar to humans, and they even had legs like humans. The only difference was their feet were like swim fins, allowing them to move freely both in the water and on land.

The Fierce Shark Demons had deep voices. They were basically illegible if one were not listening to them carefully.

The Night Rakshasa stuck close to the wall and raised its black, furry ears, like the ears of a fairy, elegant and beautiful.

“Meow~” The Night Rakshasa let out a soft cry and pointed in two directions, signaling to Mu Ningxue that two Fierce Shark Demons were approaching the building.

“We must leave at once,” agreed Mu Ningxue.

The White Sobbing Demon was in the area, too. Any minute they wasted would increase the risk to Nan Rongni’s life.

However, it was impossible for her to use the Ice Crystal Bow in her current state. Otherwise, she would not hesitate to use it, regardless of the price she had to pay!

“Meow~Meow Meow~” The Night Rakshasa’s eyes flickered intelligently as she told Mu Ningxue her plan.

“Are you telling me to lure those creatures away, and you’ll hunt the White Sobbing Demon down?” asked Mu Ningxue.

The Night Rakshasa nodded.

It was impractical to fight the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast. All they needed to do was hunt the White Sobbing Demon and leave. It was the only option left.

The Night Rakshasa was indeed a highly intelligent creature. She knew Mu Ningxue had stepped on the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast’s tail before, thus the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast would not let her leave easily. As such, the only way was to use Mu Ningxue as bait to lure the monsters away, so the Night Rakshasa could hunt the White Sobbing Demon as quickly as possible.

“Alright… but, once you kill the White Sobbing Demon, don’t come back here. Regroup with the team instead and hand the antidote to your master. The antidote will dry up into powder in a short amount of time, if we’re stuck here…” Mu Ningxue agreed with a nod.

The Night Rakshasa left to track the White Sobbing Demon down. She utilized her Shadow spells, avoided the two Fierce Shark Demons patrolling the building, and waited for her chance.

However, the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast was a Commander-level creature, and its senses were a lot sharper. The Night Rakshasa was unable to escape its watch, and it needed Mu Ningxue to lure the creature away.

Mu Ningxue took a deep breath when she saw the Night Rakshasa was in position.

It was fortunate that Jiang Yu had sent his intelligent Contracted Beast to lend her a hand. Otherwise, she would be roaming aimlessly through the East Maritime Fortress, like a headless fly.

However… Mu Ningxue had no idea how long she could last if the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast chased after her.

The Ice Crystal Bow was unavailable, and she still had not fully recovered from her injuries. It would be difficult to flee from a Commander-level creature.

The wind started blowing. Mu Ningxue suppressed the air around her without gathering the attention of the two Fierce Shark Demons close to her.

Mu Ningxue suddenly made her move. She summoned an icy breeze and sprinted in the other direction. The Fierce Shark Demons trying to entrap her were stunned, before crying out in deep voices to signal their comrades and king that they had found the woman!

Every Fierce Shark Demon started crying simultaneously. Most creatures from the shark tribe had gathered at the main street, and their deep, resonating cries soon echoed around the area.

The Blue Valley Ferocious Beast immediately turned around and followed the cries to where the woman was spotted. Half of its body was submerged; it was half-running, half-swimming toward Mu Ningxue!

The creature did not forget the pain it suffered from her arrow. It had noticed that Mu Ningxue’s aura was not as strong as it was during their first encounter. These savage sea monsters were vengeful creatures. Even the slightest grudge could only be resolved through death. As such, its hated Mu Ningxue far more than any other Magician in the nineteenth zone.

It was difficult to stop a Commander-level creature who was determined to run away. However, considering the pressure they were currently under, those around could not help but wish that someone was able to lure the Commander-level creature away.

“Why is the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast leaving?” asked an aged Magician observing the main street.

“It seems to be heading toward where Hirose is.”

“Hirose, Hirose, watch out for the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, it’s heading your way, avoid contact with the creature!”

The people in the nineteenth zone had their own communication channel, allowing them to share the information on the Commander-level creature easily.

“Got it… oh, the creature is chasing after a woman… silver hair… it’s her!” The first half of the sentence was Hirose talking to his team, but the second half was him mumbling to himself.

Unlike the other Magicians, Hirose was standing on an almost destroyed small wooden boat. It felt like the boat would sink in any second, yet Hirose was wearing a long coat and would not simply allow the tide to torture him like a water lily.

He was perfectly stable. With a closer look, it turned out that he was not just standing on the boat, but on the surging current.

Hirose was initially planning to run away. However, he was startled when he saw the slender figure being chased by the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast.

Silver hair, possibly the most unique color for a person’s hair that anyone could wish for. Even though the mist was preventing him from seeing her face clearly, he was confident that it was the gorgeous woman he had stumbled into before.

Hirose clenched his teeth. He controlled the tide and moved toward the silver-haired woman’s position.

“This way!”

Hirose jumped onto a building with the momentum of the tide and yelled at Mu Ningxue, who was running around aimlessly.

Mu Ningxue immediately changed direction when she heard the voice.

A few flickers came rapidly from behind. Mu Ningxue did not forget the powerful water beams that the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast could fire. There was no way she could reach the buildings in time, and she immediately jumped into the water.

“Hirose, don’t go, you don’t have any backup!” his teammates were shouting into the communication device.

Hirose stood still with a blank face. The sturdy buildings in front of him collapsed entirely after they were struck by the water beams. The space before him opened up, allowing him to see the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast’s face. His heart began to pound heavily…

For some reason, one eye on the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast’s face was empty, with blood pouring out from the socket!
