Chapter 246: Chapter 219: Accept: Epic-level Mission
"Ninth Princess!" the Third Prince of the Beast Race cried out in shock.
Mu Feifei was actually injured?! What’s more, she’d been knocked out of the sky by a human girl’s spear. The sight left him utterly aghast.
’Shen Ning’Er?’
’An Alliance Major?!’
’This girl can’t be more than eighteen, can she?’
’And she’s already an Alliance Major!’
A series of questions rose in the Third Prince of the Beast Race’s mind. But now wasn’t the time to ponder them. He absolutely could not let Mu Feifei fall into Shen Ning’Er’s hands.
"Attack! Kill her!"
"Rescue the Ninth Princess!"
The Third Prince of the Beast Race and several other princes immediately gave the order.
"Tell them to stand down. I only came here today to save someone!" Shen Ning’Er said, her gaze fixed on Mu Feifei, who was pinned to the ground by her spear.
"All of you, get lost!" Mu Feifei yelled with equal coldness.
"Ninth Princess, your safety is what matters most!" the Third Prince of the Beast Race cried urgently.
"Hahaha... Her? She’s not enough to kill me!" Mu Feifei laughed. Then, a blood-red fruit materialized in her hand.
GULP!
Before Shen Ning’Er could stop her, Mu Feifei had already swallowed it in an instant.
In a moment, Mu Feifei slowly rose from the massive crater. Wisps of red Blood Mist began to seep from her body, and even the wings on her back took on a vivid crimson hue.
It was an eerie sight.
The most terrifying part was the wound on Mu Feifei’s shoulder. It was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a mere moment, new flesh had already formed.
"A Blood Crystal Fruit?" Shen Ning’Er’s brow furrowed. Without a moment’s hesitation, she pulled her spear free and flew back, crushing a high-dimensional capsule in her hand as she retreated.
A ray of golden light shot out.
ROAR!
A beastly roar echoed.
The golden light coalesced, and a golden Furious Giant Ape appeared behind Shen Ning’Er.
Unlike the one seen before, this golden Furious Giant Ape was even larger, standing a full seven or eight meters tall. Moreover, its body was covered in highly unusual markings.
ROAR! The Furious Giant Ape pounded its chest, producing a metallic, vibrating clang. Then, it brought a fist crashing down on the now-standing Mu Feifei.
BOOM!
The Furious Golden Ape’s punch found its mark.
The ground buckled.
But immediately after, the Furious Golden Ape was sent flying, stumbling back five full steps before regaining its footing.
"Shen Ning’Er! Gao Neng! I will kill you both today!" Mu Feifei’s tone was no longer merely cold, but utterly frigid—a chilling frost that felt like it had been dredged up from the depths of hell.
Just then, the meow of a cat echoed from the distance.
MEOW!
Along with it came a girl’s voice, sounding extremely urgent.
"Gao Neng?! Are you okay?!" Fang Tangtang, who also had wings of light, flew to Gao Neng’s side in an instant.
Gao Xiaomeng was perched on Fang Tangtang’s shoulder.
A little girl and a cat.
They just stared at Gao Neng.
"What are you two doing here?! I’m not dead yet..." Gao Neng coughed up a mouthful of blood, then quickly fumbled for the Life-saving Pill Fang Tangtang had given him and swallowed it.
"We came to save you!" Fang Tangtang said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Save my ass... There are over twenty high-rank non-humans here! You need to get out of here, now!"
"No! I have to save you!"
"..." Gao Neng said no more and quickly got to his feet.
Mu Feifei, watching this unfold, was clearly in disbelief.
’He’s not dead?!’ She had held nothing back with that last strike, and it had landed squarely on Gao Neng’s forehead. How could a blow like that not have killed him?
’A healing ability?!’
But that couldn’t be explained by a simple healing ability alone.
To use the non-humans’ phrasing...
Gao Neng was a prime example of someone thick-skinned and built to take a beating.
"Ninth Princess, Human Alliance reinforcements are here! We need to end this quickly!" the Third Prince of the Beast Race shouted again upon seeing the newcomers. "Quick, all high-rankers, attack together! Capture Gao Neng first!"
"If you’re high-rankers, then you should be fighting other high-rankers!" A furious roar grew louder as a streak of silver light shot in from the distance.
"A human high-ranker?!" All the non-human high-rankers were stunned for a moment. By the time they got a clear look, the silver light was already upon them.
And it attacked without a shred of hesitation.
BOOM!
A loud crash echoed.
A high-ranker from the Northern Cave Race was sent flying.
This startled the other non-human high-rankers.
Then, the silver light closed in on the high-rank Cave Race member again. Like a wild beast, it "bit" down on the high-ranker’s arm.
CRUNCH!
The arm, covered in Scale Armor, was actually bitten clean off.
"ARGH!" The high-rank Cave Race member screamed in agony.
It all happened in a flash.
From the moment Fang Tangtang and Gao Xiaomeng appeared to the instant the high-rank Cave Race member was sent flying, everything happened almost simultaneously, with no pause in between.
So, it was only now that the non-human high-rankers got a clear look at the silver light’s true form.
It was a bald human.
But this bald human’s body was covered in silver spikes. A line of them ran from his neck all the way down his spine to his tailbone.
In addition, his arms and legs were also densely covered with spikes.
As for that "bite" from before...
It had been created by the spikes on both of his arms clamping together.
"Bald Shark?! What’s he doing here?" Gao Neng instantly recognized the bald man. He never expected Bald Shark would come to rescue him.
Besides, Bald Shark’s current appearance was... unconventional, to say the least.
Of course, unconventional or not, his combat strength was immense. And in the next instant, something even more surprising happened.
