Xiao Xiao, who was slumped on the ground, was completely drained of his psionic power. He found it extremely difficult to even prop up his upper body, so how could he have the strength to escape?
The Bone Dragon that was closest to her suddenly flapped its bony wings, stirring up a frenzied storm. Its sharp claws flickered with an ice-cold glint as it tore through the air and attacked Xiao Xiao.
"Am I going to die?"
On the brink of death, Xiao Xiao's heart was complicated but calm. She was complicated because her life was about to end before it even began. She was calm because she had done her best. At least she hadn't truly given up.
As his vision gradually turned hazy, he suddenly saw a familiar figure scuttling out from the pile of Skeleton Soldiers. That figure sprinted over as fast as lightning, catching up with the speeding Bone Dragon in the blink of an eye.
"Little pervert!"
Xiao Xiao opened her mouth slightly.
He passed through the Door of Darkness, passed through the rows of skeleton soldiers, and caught up with the flying Bone Dragon to save her!
At this moment, the bone dragon also noticed the tiny figure running on the ground in front of it. With an angry roar, it made a sharp turn and charged at Shi Xiaobai with a hurricane!
"Be careful!"
Xiao Xiao hurriedly shouted.
Shi Xiaobai did not seem to hear her as he continued running. Just as he was about to reach in front of Xiao Xiao, he suddenly turned around and with a kick of his right foot, he leaped high into the air towards the bone dragon's sharp claws!
Under the gigantic bone dragon's shadow, the leaping Shi Xiaobai was completely shrouded. It was as though he was swallowed by darkness as the bone claw clawed at him!
Shi Xiaobai raised his knife at the bone claw!
Clang!
The sound of a collision was heard, as though a pebble had struck a hard wall. And at this moment, Shi Xiaobai's figure was completely gripped by the white bone claw. Instantly, he disappeared!
"No!"
Xiao Xiao cried out.
"Roar!"
The Bone Dragon suddenly raised its head and roared. Its roar was filled with anger and fear.
Bam! Bam! Bang … "
Sounds of explosions and shattering rang out from the Bone Dragon's body. Thick bones broke one after another, shattering into pieces that fell from the sky. It was like a downpour of grayish-white rain. In just a moment, the huge Bone Dragon had been reduced to a pile of bones on the ground.
Amidst the pile of bones, Shi Xiaobai stood up and patted the debris off his body. His eyes were calm and cold.
Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded.
Did this Pig Slaughtering Knife have to be so exaggerated?
However, he was quite handsome.
Xiao Xiao, who had survived a calamity, revealed a smile. At this moment, Shi Xiaobai had already turned around and walked towards her. He bent down and stretched out his hands.
Xiao Xiao's smile froze for a moment, but it soon softened.
.....
More than ten bone dragons were charging angrily at her. Hundreds and thousands of skeleton soldiers were charging at her like a tidal wave. Xiao Xiao knew that there was no time to waste. Therefore, when Shi Xiaobai ran in front of her and acted like he was about to carry her, she did not put up much resistance. Instead, she felt a little embarrassed at the upcoming princess carry.
But, but, but!
"Why do you have to carry it!?"
Being carried on Shi Xiaobai's shoulders while running, Xiao Xiao felt her face blush so much that she wanted to dig a hole and jump in. However, she quickly realized that Shi Xiaobai was doing so to free one hand to hold the saber. He only needed one hand to carry her on his shoulder.
Fine, I understand the logic, but this posture is too …
Xiao Xiao tried her best to straighten her upper body, but she could not muster any strength. All she could do was press her chest against Shi Xiaobai's back. However, as Shi Xiaobai ran, her upper body constantly bounced up and down. The softness in front of her chest slammed into his back time and time again.
This was so embarrassing!
However, the bone dragons and skeleton soldiers that were chasing them crazily were like a monstrous wave that could drown them at any moment. It was not the time to grumble about this.
Xiao Xiao's face alternated between red and white. She was too deep for tears as she cursed the little pervert that did not have any bearing. However, just thinking of how he had rushed over from the other side of the door of darkness like a knight at the most critical moment to save her, she felt her heart warm up.
"Hey, little pervert, what's your name?"
Xiao Xiao suddenly recalled that she did not know his name. Although it was taboo to ask for his identity in the virtual world, they had after all gone through thick and thin together. If they really could not escape this calamity, they might end up buried in the same land.
If she did not even know his name, wouldn't it be too lonely?
Xiao Xiao did not hear the answer she wanted because a door of darkness had descended from the sky without any warning. It slammed into the path in front of her, causing the entire forest to tremble.
The door of darkness in front of her had tens of thousands of undead soldiers charging out, and behind them were bone dragons and skeleton soldiers in relentless pursuit. There was no way out in front or behind them!
At this moment, they could only head left or right!
But!
"Boom!"
A Door of Darkness suddenly appeared on the right side of the road.
"Boom!"
Almost at the same time, another Door of Darkness descended from the sky and landed on the left side of the path.
Gigantic Bone Dragons, armored skeleton soldiers, skeleton archers with bone bows in their hands … The densely packed Undead Army gathered from all directions, forming circles after circles, completely surrounding the two of them, not leaving a single gap!
The skeleton soldiers stopped ten meters away and raised their bone sabers, exuding a murderous aura.
The skeleton archers also stopped ten meters away and aimed their arrows at the duo who had nowhere else to go.
The bone dragons circled in the sky, as though they were dark clouds that blotted out the sky. They constantly roared and roared.
A red-robed figure appeared in the middle of the encirclement as he let out a derisive laugh.
"The game ends here."
.....
The game ends here?
Xiao Xiao struggled to get off Shi Xiaobai's shoulder. Leaning on Shi Xiaobai's shoulder, she barely managed to stand. Looking at the Arch-Cardinal not far away, she asked with an ugly expression, "Your undead summoning … doesn't require casting time?"
The three doors of darkness that had completely blocked off their path of retreat had descended at nearly the same time. It completely violated the casting time mechanism she had guessed.
"Casting time?"
The Arch-Cardinal did not seem to be in a hurry to command the undead army to tear the duo apart. Instead, he said with interest, "With His Majesty's favor, I can summon a door of darkness at any time. Of course, there's no need for casting time."
"You are lying."
Xiao Xiao said coldly. Since there was no need for casting time, why didn't he summon a door of darkness from the beginning to force them into a corner?
However, just as her voice faded, the Arch-Cardinal gently waved his hand, causing a door of darkness to open in the distance. The bone dragons and skeleton soldiers surged out like a tidal wave.
A look of disbelief flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes as she said with a trembling voice, "Why?"
All of her guesses were wrong?
But why?
Why did he constantly give them a chance to stall for time despite having the absolute power to crush them?
"Seeing these pitiful worms constantly struggle, going from hope to despair, and from despair to hope again and again, before finally turning into complete despair. Such a delightful thing should not be missed, right?"
The Arch-Cardinal said with a sneer, "Unfortunately, my time is limited, so the game ends here. Just die obediently."
With that said, the Arch-Cardinal leaped into the air and flew a hundred meters above. He raised his hand slightly, and all the skeleton soldiers, skeleton archers and bone dragons were ready to strike. Once the Arch-Cardinal's hand landed, they would swarm forward and devour the duo completely.
A look of despair flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes as she involuntarily grabbed Shi Xiaobai's arm tightly. Against the encirclement of the skeleton army and the bone dragons that sealed off the sky, they did not have any chance of survival.
Was everything going to end like this?
She felt indignant.
"Shi Xiaobai."
Suddenly, a calm voice resounded in her ears. Xiao Xiao was slightly surprised as she turned her head to see a pair of black eyes that shone like stars.
At this moment, Shi Xiaobai's eyes were extremely calm. The undead army that numbered in the tens of thousands around him and the impending death did not seem to shake his will at all.
"This King's name is Shi Xiaobai."
He said so.
Xiao Xiao finally realized that he was answering a question she had not long ago.
This belated answer did not seem too late.
"Xiao Xiao, my name."
Xiao Xiao's flustered heart suddenly calmed down. She stretched out her hand and said softly, "Nice to meet you."
To be able to get to know you at the very last moment is already a great blessing amidst all the misfortune. Although she felt indignant, there was a tiny consolation that might prevent her from feeling so sad.
Shi Xiaobai did not stretch out his hand to hold the soft hand. Instead, he said with a calm voice, "Then … you go first."
Go first?
Xiao Xiao was stunned. She was momentarily unable to understand the meaning behind his words.
At this moment, a short knife suddenly stabbed into her chest. It directly, quickly and mercilessly pierced through her heart.
There was no time to ask why.
There was no time to take a look at the emotions contained in those black eyes.
Xiao Xiao's vision turned black as she completely lost consciousness.
