Ai Jiangtu rose to his feet with his face covered in dust. His body was covered in filthy wounds. Even his clothes were in tatters.
There was a huge bruise on his lower back. It seemed like the force that was chasing after him had landed on his lower back. It was impressive that the man was still able to stand upright.
"Don't move, your hip is crooked," Nanrong Ni quickly informed Ai Jiangtu after learning about the injury from the Healing Spirit.
Ai Jiangtu exhaled through his nose. His breath was filled with dust.
"Are the others alright?" asked Ai Jiangtu.
He was the only one on the team that was able to take on a Commander-level creature. If he did not participate in the battle, the others would be in great danger.
"Don't worry, since they are on the national team, each of them has some special capabilities. Even if they can't take on the two Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts, they won't have any problem protecting themselves," comforted Nanrong Ni.
Ai Jiangtu did not force himself after hearing Nanrong Ni's words. He decided to stay in the safe place and receive treatment.
He had to admit that the densely packed buildings and streets of the East Maritime Fortress did provide a lot of cover for the Magicians. The Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts were relatively huge, thus they were constantly hindered by the sturdy buildings. Once their targets hid inside the buildings, they would have trouble chasing after them.
It was like two lions chasing after a group of moles. The buildings were just tall mounds in their eyes. They could easily smash them into pieces with a single blow. However, the Magicians were able to weave through the buildings nimbly. They would appear in front of and behind the buildings, and would disappear into thin air at times. It was extremely troublesome to hunt them down and kill them.
It was obvious that the entire East Maritime Fortress was built in the same style.
The reason why the streets and buildings looked relatively new was most likely because they were constantly being destroyed …
The destroyed buildings could be rebuilt easily. The professional construction team was made up of Earth Magicians. It was extremely easy for them to build these simple, square buildings!
The Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts did not manage to kill Ai Jiangtu, nor could they find him. They simply went berserk and vented their anger on the buildings within a few hundred meters. The buildings around thirty meters tall were smashed into pieces and scattered across the place. The remains of the buildings were tossed around by the Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts.
"Where is everyone?" Nan Jue turned on his communication device and asked the members scattered across the streets.
"We've arrived at the shelter," Zhao Manyan replied.
"Son of a bitch!" Jiang Yu cursed.
"No one is alone right?" Nan Jue asked.
"I'm alone." Jiang Shaoxu's voice sounded.
"Hey, hey, aren't I right beside you?" Zu Jiming also spoke up.
"How can a useless man like you be considered human!" Jiang Shaoxu said.
"What's the meaning of this? You go left, and I'll go right. Do you think I want to take care of a short-legged woman like you?" Zu Jiming was also displeased, and began to argue with Jiang Shaoxu.
"… Dong dong dong … Dong dong dong ~ ~ ~ ~"
"What's that sound?"
"F * ck, the two of them are coming towards us!"
The communication device's reception of sound was very close. Even if the surroundings were rumbling, it could still be filtered. However, at this moment, the communication device was filled with violent vibrations, making it sound as if it was happening right next to them.
"Who's close to the two monsters? Run!" Nan Jue immediately yelled into the communication device as soon as she realized something was not right.
"They're over here … Zu Jiming, Zu Jiming, you asshole!" Jiang Shaoxu screamed in terror, but her scream was still covered by the rumbling noises.
"Zu Jiming, go back and save her!" Nan Jue said in a deep voice, as if she was giving an order.
Zu Jiming did not respond. According to the signal on the communication device, the guy had turned off the channel.
"Jiang Shaoxu, hide in the narrow path and send us your location. We'll send you reinforcements as soon as possible," Nan Jue said.
"Save me, save me, they're blocking my way. My armor won't last much longer, quick!" Jiang Shaoxu's voice was filled with fear. It was obvious that she was in a more dangerous situation than Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu had been on the narrow path since the beginning. He was very close to Ai Jiangtu and Mu Ningxue, who were both extremely strong teammates, so he was not in any danger. However, Jiang Shaoxu was with Zu Jiming. Zu Jiming's primary Element was Poison, and his secondary Element was Earth. He was basically a support-type Magician, so he could only focus on running for his life!
Of course, Zu Jiming's attitude of not even trying to stall for time made Jiang Shaoxu's heart turn cold.
Jiang Shaoxu was a Psychic Magician. Her spells were completely useless when she was facing two Commander-level creatures that she could not pacify. On top of that, she did not have any movement spells, and she had already used her Magic Boots. Her life was in great danger!
…
"She's at our twelve o 'clock …" Nan Jue immediately locked onto Jiang Shaoxu's position based on the distress signal.
Mu Ningxue quickly summoned a gust of wind and brought herself to the roof. Following Nan Jue's guidance, she sprinted across the rooftops using the Wind Track.
Frost began to accumulate in the surroundings and rapidly turned into icy chains. Soon, around eight icy chains followed closely behind Mu Ningxue like silver ribbons within thirty meters of her. The chains seemed to be sentient. Whenever there was a gap between the buildings, they would fly out ahead of time and form a bridge for her to cross!
"There!"
Mu Ningxue finally saw the two Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts that were half-covered by three buildings. Jiang Shaoxu was most likely hiding inside one of the buildings. However, the buildings could only serve as a hindrance, not a defense, especially against Commander-level creatures. They could easily destroy the buildings with a few swings of their arms!
One of the Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts raised its leg and slammed it into the buildings, as if it was trying to kill Jiang Shaoxu as soon as possible. It was extremely quick, leaving a few holes in the three buildings that were connected to one another …
Mu Ningxue frowned. She had no idea what to do.
If there was only one Commander-level creature, she could easily hold it off for a while before retreating to somewhere safe to buy some time for Jiang Shaoxu.
However, the two Commander-level creatures were determined to kill Jiang Shaoxu. Mu Ningxue could at most attract the attention of one of them. The other one would soon drag Jiang Shaoxu out of the building.
"Phew ~!"
Mu Ningxue took a deep breath.
"Jiang Shaoxu, put on your armor," Mu Ningxue said to Jiang Shaoxu, who was desperately calling for help through the communication device.
Jiang Shaoxu's life was hanging by a thread. He immediately snapped, "Do I need you to remind me!?"
…
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"
A stronger icy wind swept at them. As Mu Ningxue's silver hair danced wildly, the aura descending from the sky spread rapidly like an ice storm. The buildings around Mu Ningxue were instantly covered in frost!
