Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Ning Yuechan opened her eyes, she heard Gongsun Zhi saying something.
Gongsun Zhi replied: "As soon as we returned, we sent out a Communication Talisman for help"
Gu Qing Shan commented: "That's strange, I've been in the camp for a few days now, but I've never seen a human army pass by"
Gongsun Zhi sighed: "There's nothing strange about that, because when we came out to investigate this time, we coincidentally found a traitor among the higher-ups of humanity"
"So that's why!"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
No wonder no human army came to their rescue when the two legendary figures were fighting to the death while surrounded by the demon army.
Their Communication Talismans were probably intercepted by the traitor, so that no one knew about their predicament.
It's even possible that the human army was sent away by the traitor to make things easier for the demon army.
If that's the case, the three of them are really in danger.
Gongsun Zhi evaluated Gu Qing Shan, then suddenly asked: "Brat, did you join any sect?"
Gu Qing Shan answered: "I'm a lone cultivator, if I survive this, I'll join the semester examination next year"
Gongsun Zhi continued: "During the semester examination, directly report to the Holy Gate and tell them my name"
Ning Yuechan looked at him in surprise.
How did this brat manage to catch Gongsun Zhi's eye?
At this time, the two of them noticed that she had woken up, so they both looked at her questioningly.
Ning Yuechan answered: "The poison has been purged, my wounds are healing"
Gongsun Zhi was overjoyed: "Good!"
As long as there's no poison, with Ning Yuechan's cultivation, as well as the python gall bladder's ability to regenerate muscles, her body will quickly recover.
Ning Yuechan slowly stood up, bowing to Gu Qing Shan: "Thank you for saving my life!"
In such a perilous situation, being able to expel the poison and slowly heal the body's injuries was no different from having an extra life.
Gu Qing Shan quickly waved her hand and said, "Let's talk later, we need to move now."
"Should we consider using the flying boat?" Gongsun Zhi suggested.
"No," Ning Yuechan said. "Once the flying boat rises, all the Devil Army will see it. We're the main target now. If we want to leave, it'll be more troublesome."
Gu Qing Shan interjected: "Elder Gongsun, you are the Ding Yuan General, as well as the human race's Formation Grandmaster. Other than the allied army, there must be other places you can call for help."
Gongsun Zhi glanced at Ning Yuechan and said hesitantly, "We haven't reached that point yet. We do have a reliable summoning spell, but we can't use it carelessly. Saintess, what do you think?"
Ning Yuechan was about to speak when the ground suddenly shook.
Gongsun Zhi swung his sleeve, revealing the scene outside to the three of them.
Two terrifying giant feet slowly approached from afar. Between heaven and earth, they could only see these feet moving, while the rest of the body above the legs was completely hidden by the thick layer of clouds, unable to be seen.
The Faceless Giant!
So that's how it all started!
Damn it, why am I so stupid, only now understanding the whole story.
At this moment, Gu Qing Shan finally cleared the fog and found out the truth.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed, shouting: "Elder Gongsun, quickly send a summoning talisman to ask for help, as soon as the Faceless Giant arrives, the summoning talisman won't be able to fly out!"
Gongsun Zhi was surprised: "Why can't the summoning talisman fly out?"
While they were talking, the giant feet were already getting closer and closer.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly shouted: "Trust me this once, quickly send the summoning talisman"
While Gongsun Zhi was still hesitating, Ning Yuechan suddenly tapped her Inventory Bag, took out a misty summoning talisman and spoke.
"Heaven's Limit Sect's Ning Yuechan has obtained the list of spies from humanity's allied army, as well as successfully located Shen Wu world, requesting the Saints to come to our aid"
Saying so, her hand loosened as the summoning talisman floated up.
Seeing that, Gongsun Zhi sighed: "Rashly disturbing the Saints, I'm afraid our sects will be unhappy"
The Saints are the strongest cultivators in the world.
A cultivator's cultivation realms are divided into Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Rejuvenation, Ascended, Sainted, and so on. Those who can break through all of these realms and reach the final Sainted realm will be recognized as a Saint by the world.
There are only three such cultivators in the entire human race, known as the Three Saints.
Under normal circumstances, only a very small number of people have the qualifications to contact the Saints.
Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan both have a Saint's summoning talisman, which was exchanged for 300 years of savings by the two sects behind them.
The sects gave it to them in order to ensure their safety during this time's infiltration of the demon army.
Both sects' masters have repeatedly reminded them that unless it's an earth-shattering matter, they can't use it.
Ning Yuechan stared at Gu Qing Shan and said: "If there's anything, I'll take responsibility"
Gu Qing Shan didn't even breathe a sigh of relief, only staring at the summoning talisman as it flew up into the sky, about to fly away.
But deep in the clouds above the summoning talisman, a huge shadow appeared.
A second later, the shadow came crashing down, swatting the summoning talisman back.
It was the Faceless Giant's hand.
Gu Qing Shan didn't care about anything else, rushing forward to catch the summoning talisman in the air.
The light on the summoning talisman dimmed, flashed a few times, then broke into pieces.
It's over. Gu Qing Shan's mind went blank.
Behind him, both Ning Yuechan and Gongsun Zhi's expressions changed.
"How could that be, that was a Saint's summoning talisman" Gongsun Zhi said.
Gu Qing Shan said: "The Faceless Giant swallows everything with spirit energy, as soon as the summoning talisman flew up, its spirit energy would be sucked dry, turning it into scrap paper"
He sighed: "I'm afraid we won't be able to escape"
Not only are there spies among humanity's higher-ups, but there's also a Faceless Giant among the demons to prevent them from calling for help. No wonder they couldn't escape.
The more they struggle, the tighter the net will be.
The situation has worsened to the point where life and death are hanging by a thread.
Could it be that history only took a slight turn, and will soon return to its original track?
No, I have to do something. But I've only returned not too long ago, my strength is so low, what can I do?
Gu Qing Shan was thinking hard.
Gongsun Zhi suddenly realized, saying: "So that's how it is, no wonder when I used the Elemental formation to attack it before, it didn't have any effect"
Ning Yuechan slowly stood up, standing side by side with the two of them, saying: "If we can't escape, then we can only fight it"
Ning Yuechan suddenly tapped her Inventory Bag, took out a bow and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
She said: "Your military bow is too weak, I'll give this to you"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, asking: "Why give it to me?"
Ning Yuechan very seriously said: "You killed the demon army's messenger, as well as gave me the snake gall to heal my wounds, so I'll give this bow to you as a small token of my gratitude"
Gu Qing Shan looked down, only to see that this bow was half an arm longer than his military bow, the entire bow was simple and unadorned, nothing special about it.
As Gu Qing Shan looked down, his expression became serious.
This bow isn't ostentatious at all, all of its killing intent is hidden, not leaking out at all.
At first glance, he couldn't feel any presence from the bow, as if it doesn't exist at all.
When using this bow to attack, no one would be able to sense any killing intent.
This bow has already reached the realm of concealing itself, compared to the military bow he brought out from the military camp, it's like the difference between the clouds and the mud.
At this critical moment, with such a bow in hand, Gu Qing Shan definitely wouldn't refuse.
Ning Yuechan is a person who knows how to repay others, the things she gives out are also things that others can use, she can be considered as meticulous and considerate.
This girl, she's someone worth befriending.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan accepted the bow and sincerely said: "Thank you"
Ning Yuechan silently observed him, seeing that he didn't pretend to refuse, nor was he overjoyed, instead his expression was calm and sincere as he thanked her.
Ning Yuechan silently nodded, her evaluation of him increased a bit.
