"Eh, it's just average..."
Wen Yu's mumble didn't avoid the attention of the one-eyed creature and Xing. The one-eyed creature was excellent at flattering, scoring a perfect mark in that department.
"Of course, in front of the big boss, these little demonic spawns can't stir up any trouble."
The one-eyed creature flicked its tongue and let out a hissing laugh, only to receive a light slap from Wen Yu.
Hmm...
That hurt a bit...
It seems that due to the festive atmosphere, the one-eyed creature's skin had become thicker.
The two main pets playfully bickering above didn't dampen Xing's excellent mood. At this moment, Xing was deeply immersed in the thrill of slaughtering the demonic creatures...
Until a faint light appeared in the distance.
...
The glow was very weak, as if it was just some harmless skill released by a low-level demonic creature.
Xing didn't pay much attention to it—since the lights from various skills below were all mixed together, Xing couldn't tell which skill came from which demonic creature—anyway, none could break through the demon dragon armor.
Then...
A strong sense of life-and-death crisis suddenly filled Xing's brain, with every cell in its body frantically sounding alarms.
In the face of such intense danger, Xing instinctively reacted—slightly shifting its body.
It barely managed to lean aside...
In the next second, blood splattered!
...
Wen Yu, holding the one-eyed creature, was still chatting casually above Xing's head.
As for those low-level demonic monsters below, Wen Yu was completely uninterested in eliminating them—the existence of level restraints had reduced the effectiveness of points to some extent. Moreover, right now, escaping took precedence; Wen Yu had no desire or leisure to harvest points and magic crystals from these low-level creatures.
However, deep down, Wen Yu maintained a sense of vigilance—since they were still within the encirclement of the demonic creatures, no matter how strong he and his spirit pets were, they could not guarantee that danger would not occur. Although Wen Yu appeared to be chatting and joking with the one-eyed creature, in reality, nearly all his attention was focused on monitoring the dangers around them.
Until a warm liquid splattered on Wen Yu's face...
...
"Roar!!!"
A sudden frenzied roar erupted from under Xing, and then it plummeted to the ground like a crashing plane.
Only at this moment did Wen Yu realize that something was wrong.
He hurriedly turned his head to see a massive wound on Xing's wing!
It looked as if it had been sliced by a sharp blade—half of its right wing had vanished, and scorching blood sprayed everywhere, condensing into a thick mist in midair...
Wen Yu's heart trembled fiercely...
Because of this attack...
Wen Yu hadn't sensed it at all...
This meant that a high-damage, highly concealed, and long-range attacking assassin had appeared on the battlefield!
"Prepare for battle!!!"
Wen Yu directly threw the one-eyed creature to the ground while quickly opening the second soul realm, summoning the already injured Xing back into the soul realm space.
At several hundred meters high in the air, Wen Yu let gravity pull him toward the ground, his hands still moving without pause. He opened the fourth soul realm to release Faceless while dripping Tang Haofei's blood onto him, and summoned Victor from the fifth soul realm.
To be honest, Wen Yu really didn't want to face Victor now—he couldn't escape the connection to the destruction of Las Vegas, and with so many people dead, he felt a sense of indebtedness toward Victor...
However, circumstances forced him...
The recent attack had caught not only Xing unaware but also Wen Yu and the one-eyed creature.
As the saying goes, "A hidden arrow is hard to guard against." In this situation, Victor, with his excellent scouting and stealth abilities, would be Wen Yu's strongest means of identifying the unknown demonic creature!
...
Wen Yu was mid-air, with purple lights flashing nearby.
In the next second, Xing's blood-spattered massive body had vanished, replaced by a doughy figure and a black cat.
