Chapter 383 High Place

It turned out that during their fierce battle, each swing of Meros's sword was as swift as a storm, and each of his strikes landed precisely on the whip, leaving tiny cuts.

These openings, though seemingly insignificant, are actually traps meticulously designed by Meros.

These tiny cuts will not cause any real damage to the whip, because the whip contains powerful energy that can quickly repair these small wounds in a short moment.

However, the black mist on the Meros longsword silently seeped into the whip through the crack in that instant, and disguised itself at an astonishing speed, making it impossible for the energy inside the whip to detect its presence immediately.

Just now, Meros's final, thunderous strike became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This attack was not only incredibly powerful, but it also triggered a collective action from the treacherous and cunning group of black mist.

Upon receiving the command, they erupted like a pack of hungry jackals, devouring all the energy within the whip and rendering it unable to repair itself.

At the same time, it also expands from various parts inside the whip, causing it to crack.

In an instant, the entire whip seemed to have its soul ripped out, breaking helplessly into more than a dozen pieces. Those dozen or so whip fragments, like kites with broken strings, danced in the air for a moment before being quickly picked up by a jellyfish nearby.

A mocking smile crept across Fei Bo's lips. He raised his hand, examining the remaining handle as if marveling at Meros's methods.

"Hehe, truly remarkable, my king."

Then, he slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on the dozen or so fragments of the whip that the jellyfish had picked up, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Your Majesty, then we..."

Before Fei Bo could finish speaking, his words were abruptly cut off as if something had gagged him.

Then, he suddenly raised his gaze and looked straight up at the sky.

Meros's heart skipped a beat, and he also keenly sensed the anomaly, so he looked in the same direction as Philip.

About two thousand meters above their heads, the once calm sky suddenly rippled, like a stone being thrown into a still lake.

The ripples expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a massive spatial portal appeared in their field of vision. The portal slowly opened, like a mysterious passage hidden in the void.

Just then, three figures shot out of the portal like meteors and plummeted downwards at an astonishing speed.

However, after descending for a certain distance, the three figures suddenly stopped and hovered in the air.

"Aa ...

"Woof woof woof—"

"Holy crap—how ​​did I end up here?!"

Accompanied by a series of screams and barks, the three figures emerged from the spatial passage: Lin Xiyue, Ling Ye, and Guai Guai.

"Quickly, flap your wings! Aren't these yours?!"

Lingye held onto Guaiguai tightly while shouting at Lin Xiyue.

Even if you don't scream, you can't help it as you plummet rapidly through the air, with only the whooshing sound of the wind in your ears.

"Huh?! Oh, okay, okay, I'll open it right away."

In the air, Lin Xiyue heard Ling Ye's call and responded as if waking from a dream.

She fumbled around frantically, but finally managed to focus and control her wings.

With a soft "snap," the wings of the flying creature unfolded again, slowly bringing the three of them to a stop in the air.

"Hehe, this is my first time using this, I almost forgot I have wings."

Lin Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, then scratched her head with her free hand and said somewhat awkwardly.

Lin Xiyue inwardly groaned; although these wings were powerful, using them was quite a challenge.

Hey, system, this thing is so illogical! Lingye's wings are clearly attached to his body, yet I have to control them to open them. Isn't that redundant? ┓( ′?` )┏

She couldn't help but complain about the system in her heart.

[Cough cough cough, how is this not scientific! Our stuff is all the most scientific...]

[Look, think about it. This is yours, so only you can control it. If someone else could control it just because they have wings, what if they turned around and harmed you? But it's different now. If they try to harm you, you can just fold your wings and crash them to their death!]

The system seemed a little embarrassed; it coughed softly a few times, as if trying to hide its discomfort.

However, as the conversation continued, its tone gradually became more self-righteous, and even revealed a hint of smugness at the end.

Lin Xiyue listened to the system's explanation, thought about it thoughtfully, and felt that it did make some sense, so she stopped dwelling on the issue.

After casually chatting with the system for a couple of minutes, she lowered her head to check the situation beneath her.

However, because they were at such a high position, Lin Xiyue could not see the specific scene below at all.

Even the huge crack and the collapsed houses next to it appeared extremely small in her vision, like a painting pieced together from individual pixels.

"Huh? Something's coming! It's black, and it's moving so fast."

Just as Lin Xiyue was gazing down, Ling Ye suddenly noticed something and spoke up.

Upon hearing Ling Ye's words, Lin Xiyue was startled and quickly followed his gaze.

Sure enough, not far away, a black object was hurtling towards them like lightning. The black object was moving at an astonishing speed, as if it wasn't flying, but traversing space in an instant.

Wow! What is that?! It's so fast!

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but cry out.

Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the approaching black object, her jaw dropping in astonishment.

In those few short seconds, the black object rapidly grew larger in their field of vision, as if it were a monster that could expand infinitely, though it could also be because the black object was rapidly approaching them.

"Oh no, we have to get out of there right now!"

Ling Ye's face turned pale, and he nervously spoke to Lin Xiyue.

Ling Ye felt somewhat helpless at this moment. Although he had a pair of wings, he could not control them to fly freely.

At most, he could only make the wings move slightly, bring them up to look at them and touch them, but other than that, he had almost no control over the wings.

“(⊙o⊙)…Huh?! Oh oh oh!”

Lin Xiyue was startled by Ling Ye's reminder and then came to her senses.

She quickly focused her mind and tried to control her wings to move to the side, attempting to avoid the black object that was rushing towards them at high speed.
