When Xu Sheng, who had come to discuss something with Bi Bidong, happened to witness this scene, he asked, "Your Holiness, Elder Ju, what happened here?"
Judging from their expressions just now, it didn't seem like anything good!
Bi Bidong glanced sideways and said in a deep voice, "Xu Sheng, Gui Mei should have informed you earlier, right? Nana and the others went to the Aquipeia Forest to hunt soul beasts under the protection of a group of Martial Soul Hall experts!"
Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had foreseen something, "Hmm... could it be that something happened to them?"
Bi Bidong nodded affirmatively, "That's right, not long ago, they encountered abyssal creatures. The situation is unclear now, and I am preparing to send Yueguan and some Martial Soul Hall experts to support them!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng also realized the severity of the situation and immediately asked Yueguan, "Elder Ju, do you know where Nana and the others are?"
Yueguan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I only know they are on the outskirts of the Aquipeia Forest, but as for their specific location, it's likely changed already."
After all, since Hulena and the others encountered abyssal creatures, they couldn't have stayed in one place and must have moved!
Xu Sheng took a deep breath, "If they haven't entered the core of the Aquipeia Forest, then the abyssal creatures they encountered shouldn't be particularly powerful. It's still in time to go for support now!"
After saying that, he turned to Bi Bidong and said, "Your Holiness, please let me go this time as well."
Bi Bidong hesitated upon hearing this, "But Xu Sheng, you are currently the primary target of the abyssal creatures' attacks. It's possible that the moment you leave Martial Soul City, the lurking abyssal creatures will relay the message."
Originally, Hulena and the others encountering abyssal creatures already left her somewhat at a loss...
If something were to happen to Xu Sheng on the way, wouldn't it be a predicament on both fronts?
Unexpectedly, Yueguan broke the silence and advised, "Your Holiness, actually, I also think it would be better to let Xu Sheng accompany us."
"His spiritual power is far stronger than that of both me and Lao Gui, who are Hyper Douluos. He should be able to locate Holy Daughter and the others more easily!"
The strength of Xu Sheng's spiritual power is unmatched and can fully cover the entire outskirts in a short time, finding the Holy Daughter and others!
With these words, Bi Bidong no longer hesitated and immediately said in a very serious tone, "Xu Sheng, then I entrust you and Yueguan to assist them, but please be very careful on this trip!!"
Xu Sheng returned a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, Your Holiness, I am aware of the situation."
"There's no time to waste. Elder Ju, let's go."
Yueguan frowned, "Aren't we going to select some Martial Soul Hall soul masters...?"
Going just like this seems a bit reckless, if this is a trap set by the abyssal creatures, wouldn't it mean no return?
Xu Sheng shook his head, "No need, they would only slow us down. Just the two of us will suffice."
If accompanied by other Martial Soul Hall experts, they would have to slow down and wait!
Before Yueguan could answer, Bi Bidong ordered, "Yueguan, do as Xu Sheng says, depart immediately!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!!"
Afterward, the two of them did not linger and quickly disappeared from the hall...
...
At the same time!
While the abyssal creatures were engaging in a fierce battle with the soul beasts, Hulena and the others were retreating rapidly from the outskirts of the Aquipeia Forest...
Once they confirmed no creatures were following from behind, Hulena couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Phew, luckily, the abyssal creatures didn't follow us!"
Flame also patted his chest, "Yeah, I was almost scared to death just now, the number of those abyssal creatures was in the hundreds!"
Evil Moon said with lingering fear, "Not only that, the scene of the battle was too brutal, it was completely a one-sided slaughter by the abyssal creatures, those soul beasts had no power to fight back!!"
However, the leading Soul Douluo warrior abruptly interrupted their conversation, saying sternly, "Holy Daughter, although we've gained some distance, it's still too dangerous here, there's no guarantee the abyssal creatures won't follow us!"
Hulena thought the former was overreacting, "They shouldn't, right? It seemed that group of abyssal creatures hadn't spotted us just now!"
Yet, the Soul Douluo warrior rarely countered, "Holy Daughter, we've all witnessed the brutality of the abyssal creatures. Being cautious is never wrong!"
The soul beasts might not last much longer; once they're all slaughtered, the creatures could focus their attention on us!
Hulena also pursed her lips, "You have a point, being cautious is always wise!!"
Just then, Flame, surprised, pointed in a direction, "Hey, look quickly, why is the forest around us glowing red?"
Evil Moon seemed to realize something, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he quickly looked in the direction pointed by the former...
Then, a cold sweat trickled down his back...
Those were not red glows, but the scarlet eyes of the abyssal creatures...
He could only grit his teeth and say, "That's not a glow, it's the eyes of the abyssal creatures, we... are probably surrounded!!"
"No, to be exact, they've been lying in wait here, waiting for us to take the bait!"
As soon as he said this, the others also noticed something amiss around them and quickly released their Martial Souls, watching the surrounding red glow vigilantly...
The leading Soul Douluo warrior swallowed hard, "Damn it, there are so many eyes, just how many abyssal creatures are ambushed here!!"
These creatures had completely sealed off the surroundings, no matter which direction they tried, breaking through seemed impossible!!
The former shouted loudly again, "Everyone be careful, form a circle immediately!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone formed a ring formation, readying their battle preparations...
With the battle on the brink of erupting, Flame couldn't help but glance at Hulena and Evil Moon next to him, "Nana, Evil Moon, are we really going to die at the hands of the abyssal creatures today?"
Evil Moon cursed angrily, "Shut up, you jinx, I haven't lived enough, if anyone's dying, it's you alone, leave me and Nana out of it"
Hulena added with a slight sneer, "Flame, the battle hasn't even started yet, why do you think we're doomed? Aren't you usually quite brave?"
Flame clenched his fists, "That's true, but with so many abyssal creatures, relying on just us, we might be overwhelmed in an instant!"
If any direction is breached, it will herald a fierce onslaught...
Yet, Hulena interrupted the former, trying her best to boost morale...
"We've already sent someone back to Martial Soul City to report back, as long as we can hold out for a while, Elder Gui or Elder Ju will surely come to our aid!!"
Evil Moon immediately echoed, "Exactly, although there are many abyssal creatures, not every one of them is particularly powerful. As long as we can buy some time, our chances of survival will greatly increase!!"
