Xia Lei's scroll disappeared, replaced by an elegant and exquisite small box.
She opened the box, and a gentle light instantly burst forth, enveloping her. A layer of armor that closely adhered to her body appeared, incredibly beautiful and somewhat resembling leather armor, yet clearly very soft. The armor covered her entire body, even having a black crystal shield over her eyes.
Then, Xia Lei threw the box onto the ground, and at the moment it touched the floor, another burst of light erupted. Seven glowing points flew out, landing on her shoulders, sides, and legs, while another appeared above her head.
Once they settled into position, the glowing points transformed into seven exquisitely crafted floating cannons, each the width of an arm.
Behind Xia Lei, an energy shield composed of hexagonal blocks emerged, and the seven floating cannons connected to the edges of the shield.
In her empty hands, a long box appeared once again. Xia Lei opened it and pulled out two knives, one wide and one thin, both thick, making the wider one resemble a wooden plank and the thinner one look like a cone.
It seemed quite strange to see such a delicate girl as Xia Lei holding them.
The spirit woman noticed that Xia Lei had chosen the injured green-skinned demon.
If it were the spirit woman herself, she would have chosen one of the three green-skinned demons affected by golden spots, as their decreased agility would provide many opportunities for the attackers, ensuring at least some safety even if they couldn't be killed.
However, the injured green-skinned demon was not so easy to deal with. The injury did not impair its functional abilities, and even though its combat effectiveness was somewhat affected, pain and anger would make it even more ferocious and bloody, not an easy target at all.
Moreover, if Xia Lei dealt with the injured green-skinned demon, who would deal with the other three? Would it be this woman named Zhao Xiangxue?
"Don't look at me, it's not me," Zhao Xiangxue shrugged beside the spirit woman.
Her main task was still to watch over the spirit woman; as for the others, there were people to deal with them.
Soon, the spirit woman knew who would be dealing with the three green-skinned demons.
The twin sisters!
Yaten and Yani were special existences in Cloud Summit, just like the spirit woman, the black cat, and Red Hair’s undead fish dragon, because they were one person and one corpse yet had a wonderful connection.
The two little girls whom Ye Zhongming had saved back then had now grown into graceful young women. Yes, not only had Yaten, a human, grown up, but Yani, as a Gold Corpse, had also matured.
This was a fascinating phenomenon that even Sister Hong had studied specially, but because she couldn't dissect them, there were no conclusive results.
In the apocalypse, miraculous things happened every moment, and people did not find this unusual.
However, in many people's impressions, they still viewed them as children, and even as they grew into young women, they saw them as objects of protection.
Additionally, Yaten's character was extremely quiet, often staying in her room reading or talking with her Gold Corpse sister.
Perhaps many saw them as abnormal, but similarly, in the apocalypse, everyone might be considered abnormal.
Thus, the miraculous twin sisters, the abnormal twin sisters, were overlooked by many.
But were they truly invisible? No, they were not. When they stood up, they were powerful warriors!
The two working together could match Mo Ye at full strength; if this news got out, it would drop many jaws.
But that was the fact.
They were also the trump card of Cloud Summit.
When Xia Lei brought them here, no one noticed. Even if someone did see, they merely thought that Xia Lei liked them and brought them to have a look.
But the reality was that they, just like Big Yellow and Zhao Xiangxue, were the backbone forces protecting Xia Lei.
Before Xia Lei had even begun her fight, the twin sisters had already taken action.
