CHAPTER TEXT:
In the previous chapter, everyone can take another look as an additional section has been added.
It was too fast; before this novice could react, his body had already flown towards the opponent.
By the time he made a move to respond, shaking his shoulders and aiming his weapon at the branches, he had already entered the attack range of his opponent.
The arm of this Gu Rui Star Clan warrior suddenly transformed into a massive wooden blade resembling a door, and in the terrified gaze of the other two novices, he cleaved the incapacitated newcomer in half with one strike.
Thus, the situation that was originally three people facing one Gu Rui Star Clan warrior suddenly turned into just two holding on.
With morale and strength decreasing, it might collapse at any moment.
With one person killed among the three, it was easy to imagine that the remaining two were destined to fail; it was merely a matter of time.
Once the defense was breached, it would mean failure for this group of novices, regardless of which side the Gu Rui Star Clan warrior went to; they would not be able to fend off the joint attack of two powerful warriors.
The Gu Rui Star Clan warrior wore a mocking expression; these novices were too optimistic, thinking that three people could withstand him?
Suddenly, countless branches appeared behind him, their sharp tips plunging down like a mountain pressing down on one of the novices.
That novice didn't want to avoid it; he tried to move, but those branches adjusted their positions mid-attack, following him like relentless maggots, and in his terrified sight, they all converged into a massive conical shape that pierced towards his body.
It’s over!
Not just this novice thought so; even the comrades nearby who wanted to help felt the same.
The movements of the Gu Rui Star Clan warrior were too swift and too sudden, and it was already too late to assist.
The situation had shifted from urgent to imminent loss of control.
A pale shadow suddenly burst from the side, crashing into the novice who was about to close his eyes and await death, causing him to topple sideways at the moment of impact, as the conical branches stabbed into this shadow.
The novice who had regained a chance at life opened his eyes to see a relatively small sphere had taken the hit for him, with the branches pressing against its body, creating a deep indentation. Surrounding this sphere were some white threads floating.
What is this?
This was, of course, Qiu Qiu.
The little guy had been a bit carefree on Novice Planet, often wandering off without realizing how far he had gone, but he definitely wouldn't stray too far and would appear quickly when Ye Zhongming needed him.
Earlier, Ye Zhongming hadn't summoned him, thinking that even if Qiu Qiu came, it wouldn’t help.
Now it was different; with Ji Rui Guang's help, Qiu Qiu could play its role.
The two small eyes on Qiu Qiu's tiny body moved flexibly, looking at the branches that had pierced into it; whether it felt pain or not, its light-colored body started turning red.
This was a situation Ye Zhongming had never seen before.
Mmm, mm-mm, mmm-mmm...
Qiu Qiu emitted a series of sounds, and none could tell what it meant.
If one were to guess, ninety percent of those witnessing this scene would speculate that Qiu Qiu was angry.
In fact, Qiu Qiu was indeed angry.
The Gu Rui Star Clan warrior had hurt it.
From its small body, dozens of fine threads suddenly shot out, wrapping around the branches in front of it, tightening in circle after circle until they finally knotted together.
Then, Qiu Qiu's tiny body continued to turn red, transitioning from light red to a true red, as if… it was straining.
The Gu Rui Star Clan warrior didn’t recognize what Qiu Qiu was, but he suddenly felt that the branches he had been manipulating so effortlessly were being pulled back, making him almost immobile.
What was his state now? Since these branches extended from his back, all directed forward to attack, he was wrapped in these branches.
