Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 99 - 100
A few minutes earlier,
Perhaps due to a girl’s unique sixth sense, Mengxi, who was walking in the Winter Forest, struggled against the biting cold wind and inexplicably moved towards the direction where Yumo was.
Looking at the delicate silver-haired girl in the forest,
The Abyss Demons lurking nearby did not follow their instinct to devour this weak prey, but instead chose to keep their distance! When the silver-haired girl entered the forest, the demons scattered in all directions, widening the gap between them and the girl.
Obviously,
All the Abyss Demons in the Winter Forest had received Yumo’s will. They knew very well that this seemingly fragile girl was an ancestor-level existence! If they hurt her, they would likely be beaten into a pulp by their boss!
So, in order to prevent accidents, the demons instinctively kept their distance from the silver-haired girl.
No demon dared to mess with the boss!
It had to be said,
Mengxi was indeed the first person in history to make all the Abyss Demons in the Winter Forest tremble.
However,
The Winter Forest was the most dangerous place in the whole Ancita continent! There was nothing more dangerous than this place! In addition to the Abyss Demons, there were various other dangers, poisonous creatures, and a large number of magical beasts. These magical beasts were left behind by Yumo for the purpose of maintaining ecological balance or feeding the demons, but the fact that they could live in the Winter Forest meant that they were not weak!
Now,
With the onset of the cold wave and food shortages,
Countless magical beasts were starving and desperately searching for food everywhere.
At this moment,
This fragile silver-haired girl who had left the vicinity of the wooden house and was powerless had undoubtedly become a delectable treat in the eyes of these magical beasts, after all, they had not received any instructions from Yumo...
--
Is, is that?
A human?!
A human girl?!
Watching the silver-haired girl slowly approaching, feeling the increasingly strong floral scent coming from her body, no! That was the scent of food…
The Steel Earth Dragon, which had been hiding in the snow waiting for prey, immediately revealed an excited look in its eyes,
Its massive body began to move slowly,
A human girl, so weak?!
Yes, suitable food!
The Steel Earth Dragon couldn’t help but drool,
Having endured hunger for so long, it urgently needed food to replenish its strength!
Although it was considered a strong magical beast of the sixth rank on the continent, and could even claim to be a local king, this was the Winter Forest, the territory of the Abyss Demons! As a magical beast, it had no choice but to tremble in fear, and could only scavenge for leftovers from the demons...
It was not clear why there would be humans in the depths of the eastern part of the Winter Forest, especially those without any traces of power?!
But the fact that they couldn’t feel any Abyss Demon aura in the surroundings was also undeniable!
Those demons inexplicably retreated, and at this moment, it was the strongest magical beast in the area!
That is to say, no other beasts could compete with it now! This girl is my food! Food that can be obtained without effort!
The Steel Earth Dragon naturally wouldn’t let such a pie-in-the-sky pass by!
So,
As the silver-haired girl approached,
"Boom!!"
With a deafening roar, the ground shook and split apart! A massive lizard encased in a gray shell burst from the earth, bellowing fiercely at Mengxi!
At that moment,
The monster’s roar echoed throughout the valley,
A powerful tremor and magical explosion suddenly sent Mengxi, unprotected by any sacred energy, flying tens of meters away! She slammed violently into a massive tree!
The coat wrapped around her body was suddenly lost amidst the fierce shockwave and the blizzard.
A trickle of blood unknowingly flowed from the corner of Mengxi’s mouth.
"Roarrrrr!"
Seeing its prey weaker than expected, the Steel Earth Dragon let out a mocking roar!
Soon after,
The starving Steel Earth Dragon immediately bared its sharp claws and fangs! It opened its bloody maw wide and roared as it charged towards Mengxi!
Faced with such a monster,
The delicate silver-haired girl seemed utterly powerless to fight, and becoming the Steel Earth Dragon’s meal seemed an inevitable fate.
Watching the ferocious beast quickly close in on her, feeling its terrifying killing intent, the silver-haired girl’s light purple eyes were filled with ’terror.’
Her body seemed to freeze in place out of fear, leaving her no choice but to watch helplessly as the abyss-like maw drew closer.
Just as the Steel Earth Dragon’s teeth were inches away, a figure surrounded by blood-red butterflies suddenly rushed in from afar...
In the next instant,
"Boom!!!"
With an earth-shattering explosion, a crimson shadow force struck the Steel Earth Dragon’s back from behind!
The hard, steel-plated armor on the Steel Earth Dragon’s back shattered instantly! Along with it, the dragon’s body was torn to pieces!
In a flash, blood splattered everywhere! The crimson fluid mixed with the raging snowstorm, creating a bloody rain!
Under the blood rain’s influence, Mengxi’s beautiful silver-white hair and stunning face were stained with a layer of red veil...
" sister ..Yu, Yu Mo,?"
Mengxi couldn’t help but let out a gasp, staring in disbelief at the familiar black figure before her.
Well,
Actually,
Calling it black might not be quite right,
Because, at that moment, the black-haired girl, drenched in blood, looked like a bloody-red angel returning from the abyss. Paired with her murderous, blood-red eyes and chilling aura, she sent shivers down one’s spine.
However,
As her killing intent subsided, the girl’s crimson eyes revealed deep concern and terror.
Facing the pitiful Mengxi,
Yu Mo couldn’t help but bite her lip and, for the first time, scolded Mengxi,
"You silly girl! What were you thinking? Didn’t I tell you not to leave the House? It’s dangerous outside!!"
"Sister, sister?"
Hearing her sister’s voice, Yu Mo’s inner rage and anxiety seemed to be ignited all at once.
Yu Mo rushed straight to Mengxi’s side, unceremoniously grabbing her shoulders.
"Sister? Do you even think of me as your sister?! You never listen to me! Do you want to worry me to death?! If something happened to you, what would I do?"
Clearly,
After seeing Mengxi, the extremely important heroine, nearly in danger, Yu Mo couldn’t help but lose her composure a bit. She hadn’t expected that the well-behaved girl would sneak out while she was away for a short time!
Indeed,
She should have locked the door!
"Sis, sister..."
Facing the furious black-haired girl, Mengxi curled up like a frightened rabbit, lowering her head in grievance.
"I, I was wrong... I, I just saw you were gone, sister Yu Mo, and I wanted to find you..."
The girl’s voice carried a hint of tears,
However,
Her light purple eyes flashed with an undetectable hint of complicated emotions...
"..."
On the other side,
Seeing the sobbing girl and hearing Mengxi’s pitiful words, Yu Mo swallowed back the scolding words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Sigh..."
Yu Mo couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, silently repeating the word "calm" to herself.

Calm, calm...
After some silent chanting, Yu Mo’s heart settled back down.
Seeing the "runaway" girl in front of her, Yu Mo gave up the idea of continuing to scold Mengxi.
After all, the heroine wasn’t her own child; whether she was obedient or not didn’t matter, since she’d be returning to the Asumos church soon...
As long as she’s fine, that’s all that matters.
Glancing at the blood on Mengxi’s body and the extensive bruising on her right arm, Yu Mo couldn’t help but frown.
Moreover, Mengxi’s delicate body began to shiver uncontrollably.
It wasn’t just because of Yu Mo’s rage, but also the harsh external weather. In the freezing forest, with the bitter cold and the piercing wind, Mengxi, who was dressed lightly and temporarily without any sacred energy, was helpless to resist.
If this went on, Mengxi might freeze to death in this snowy wasteland.
If the protagonist she had finally found and was about to start cultivating were to freeze to death, Yu Mo would probably have a mental breakdown...
Thinking this,
Yu Mo silently walked over to Mengxi and took out a quilt from her spatial ring.
Ignoring Mengxi’s subsequent apologies, Yu Mo wrapped her up like a dumpling without a word and held her in her arms...
In the next moment,
Having ensured Mengxi was protected from the cold, Yu Mo leaped into the air, accompanied by the blood butterflies, and flew toward her house
However,
Just after taking off, Yu Mo seemed to think of something and frowned slightly.
She looked thoughtfully behind her,
Towards where the Steel Earth Dragon’s corpse had been.
Yu Mo’s crimson eyes narrowed, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
Speaking of which,
There weren’t many magical beasts near my house, right?
This,
How did this girl end up meeting the Steel Earth Dragon’s head?
No,
It couldn’t have been on purpose...
