CHAPTER TEXT:
"Counting the first update of number 7, still owe one chapter... Continuing to make up tomorrow~~"
Ye Zhongming instinctively wanted to pull Xia Bai out of the golden light, but his physical condition was really terrible, and he simply didn't have the strength to do so.
Seeing the golden light spreading over Xia Bai's beautiful body, Ye Zhongming's heart sank suddenly.
He was genuinely afraid that this unknown light would bring some harm to Xia Bai.
But before he could do anything, he saw the sea beasts in the gray mist around them suddenly become agitated, their roars nearly shaking the heavens!
From the sound, it seemed as if something precious was being snatched away from them.
Finally, a sea beast charged out of the gray mist; it was a six-level mutated sea lion. The once friendly creature had transformed into a terrifying existence, especially with its two knife-like fangs glistening coldly, dripping with the blood and flesh of unknown sea beasts.
As soon as this six-level mutated sea lion appeared, it dashed straight towards Xia Bai, simultaneously letting out urgent warning sounds, urging Xia Bai to leave.
Ye Zhongming knew he had to take action; otherwise, this woman who had just risked her life for him would be killed.
He gathered the strength he had accumulated, leaped to Xia Bai's side, and rolled her out of the range of the golden light.
The roars of the surrounding sea beasts lessened somewhat.
Ye Zhongming didn’t care about anything else, rolling several times on the ground to get further away from the Sea King Disk.
He had already realized why these sea beasts had appeared here.
The moment he had just carried Xia Bai away from the Sea King Disk, the golden light also shone on Ye Zhongming. He could clearly feel a completely unfamiliar yet immensely powerful force entering his body, and his previously depleted stamina instantly recovered by about one-tenth, allowing him to hold Xia Bai effortlessly now.
One-tenth of an evolver's stamina was already a significant number.
Ye Zhongming's hand, while holding Xia Bai, felt around her waist, and indeed, the broken bone there had reconnected.
Xia Bai had been under the golden light for at least a dozen seconds. If this light could truly heal injuries rapidly, it might have other effects as well, which would explain why these sea beasts rushed over to occupy the spot.
Sure enough, the mutated sea lion no longer paid attention to Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai, who had already left the area of the Sea King Disk, and headed straight for the disk.
However, from all directions around the Sea King Disk, more than a dozen high-ranking sea beasts appeared, the weakest being level six, with the vast majority being level seven.
Ye Zhongming had no choice but to retreat again with Xia Bai, even having to back up to the edge of the gray mist.
"What is that?" Xia Bai suddenly spoke.
Ye Zhongming was taken aback for a moment and replied, "It should be the Sea King Disk."
"Oh." Xia Bai replied softly, falling silent. Ye Zhongming looked down and immediately felt embarrassed, raising his hand.
It turned out that after checking Xia Bai's injuries and moving again, she had woken up, and his hand had shifted position and was now resting on half of her chest.
Scratching his nose, Ye Zhongming hoped to alleviate the awkwardness, but he saw Xia Bai, without her mask, glance at him, a faint blush appearing on her stunning face.
Alright, Ye Zhongming admitted that his action of scratching his nose seemed somewhat lewd, as if he intentionally touched her and then wanted to sniff his hand...
Xia Bai's lips curled up slightly as she took Ye Zhongming's hand and placed it on her chest.
Immediately, a soft and supple sensation filled Ye Zhongming's mind.
"Perhaps we will die soon."
Ye Zhongming was taken aback, nodded, and tightened his embrace around Xia Bai.
These actions and words only transpired within a few seconds, but the battle over there had already entered its most brutal and bloody phase.
Every sea beast that charged out wanted to occupy the position under the golden light, unleashing their strongest skills and tricks right from the start.
