Chapter 718: Riding Out Difficulty Together (1/2)

After a brief moment of hesitation, Nie Tian swam towards Yin Yanan.

The Frost Blood Python and the Bone Blood Demon, however, seemed to have completely forgotten about their masters, and were rushing towards the lake’s surface at full speed.

Since the fierce souls had chased after them, Nie Tian and Yin Yanan were safe for the time being.

However, once the Frost Blood Python and the Bone Blood Demon left the lake, the two of them would probably become the vicious souls’ new targets.

If it came down to that, it would be hard to say whether their lives would be in great danger.

In order to survive, Nie Tian also wanted to see if Yin Yanan had a plan that would save them from this dangerous situation.

Soon, the two of them came together.

Wisps of soul power kept flowing out of Yin Yanan’s ward and dispersing into the lake water, and a pained look appeared in her eyes.

It was the Frost Blood Python’s soul guarding magics that had allowed her to sink this deep without her true soul being stripped from her mind.

However, she had lost the protection of the Frost Blood Python after it fled by itself. Now, her true soul was suffering a strong attractive force, as if it were itching to fly out of her mind.

In order to stop that from happening, she was now guarding her true soul with her own soul power.

However, as soon as she drained her soul power, her mental defenses would give, and her true soul would sink to the bottom of the lake.

“Come here!” Yin Yanan beckoned for Nie Tian to join her in her protective ward.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

As Nie Tian’s protective ward made contact with hers, bright sparks of spiritual power suddenly sputtered from the contact point.

Nie Tian deactivated his protective ward just in time as he entered Yin Yanan’s ward with a swift wiggle of his body.

Yin Yanan’s protective ward had a weak silver luster and emanated a faint flesh aura.

Since Yin Yanan’s protective ward was rather small, Nie Tian had to stay very close to her.

“What should we do?” Yin Yanan asked anxiously while looking up. “I wonder where those evil spirits came from. They’ve already devoured the souls of many of our weaker members earlier. Even together, our seniors failed to annihilate them.

“They seem even more dangerous now that they’re in this lake. I’m afraid they’ll target us as soon as they’re finished with my Frost Blood Python and your puppet.

“The worst part is that they’re close to the surface, so we can’t charge out of the lake without encountering them.”

Yin Yanan lost soul power unceasingly as she spoke, which made her even more anxious.

If things didn’t change soon, it wouldn’t be long before she ran out of soul power and lost control of her true soul.

However, if they rushed to the lake’s surface now, they would probably be intercepted by those powerful souls.

She had never been in such a desperate situation. This was why it occurred to her to seek Nie Tian’s help.

In her eyes, Nie Tian was a mysterious person from an unknown background, so he might have many resources at his disposal.

Being so close together, Nie Tian could smell Yin Yanan’s scent, which was healthy and full of vigor, and sense her rapid soul power loss. “You’re losing your soul power.”

“I know!!” Yin Yanan barked.

Eyebrows furrowed, Nie Tian was just about to say something to her when he discovered that the Frost Blood Python and the Bone Blood Demon had managed to charge through the lake’s surface and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

After losing their favorite targets, the fierce souls finally remembered them, and whizzed down from above them at full speed.

Yin Yanan’s face turned pale with fright. “Oh no!”

Nie Tian took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm.

Seeing that the evil souls were unleashing heaven-shaking, earth-shattering soul attacks as they came at them at full speed, Nie Tian no longer hesitated, and took out the Spirit Pearl.

Holding the Spirit Pearl in his right hand, he fixed those evil souls with a fierce stare.

He assumed that, since it was the Spirit Pearl that had sucked them out from the cauldron’s surface, it might also be able to restrain them.

“Hmm?!”

Yin Yanan’s curvaceous body shuddered as she saw the Spirit Pearl.
