The Blue Valley Ferocious Beast snorted hard, knocking the water vapor of the mist down like raindrops.

Mu Ningxue was hiding in the building, yet she could still feel the cold, wet air flowing in her direction.

Both she and the Night Rakshasa were holding their breath, as they were afraid that even the slightest gasp would attract the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast's attention. They were no match against the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, not to mention the group of creatures sticking close to it that had mouths like sharks and sharp bones on their joints. Their size was similar to humans, and they even had legs like humans. The only difference was their feet were like swim fins, allowing them to move freely both in the water and on land.

The Fierce Shark Demons had deep voices. They were basically illegible if one were not listening to them carefully.

The Night Rakshasa stuck close to the wall and raised its black, furry ears, like the ears of a fairy, elegant and beautiful.

”Meow~” The Night Rakshasa let out a soft cry and pointed in two directions, signaling to Mu Ningxue that two Fierce Shark Demons were approaching the building.

”We must leave at once,” agreed Mu Ningxue.

The White Sobbing Demon was in the area, too. Any minute they wasted would increase the risk to Nan Rongni's life.

However, it was impossible for her to use the Ice Crystal Bow in her current state. Otherwise, she would not hesitate to use it, regardless of the price she had to pay!

”Meow~Meow Meow~” The Night Rakshasa's eyes flickered intelligently as she told Mu Ningxue her plan.

”Are you telling me to lure those creatures away, and you'll hunt the White Sobbing Demon down?” asked Mu Ningxue.

The Night Rakshasa nodded.

It was impractical to fight the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast. All they needed to do was hunt the White Sobbing Demon and leave. It was the only option left.

The Night Rakshasa was indeed a highly intelligent creature. She knew Mu Ningxue had stepped on the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast's tail before, thus the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast would not let her leave easily. As such, the only way was to use Mu Ningxue as bait to lure the monsters away, so the Night Rakshasa could hunt the White Sobbing Demon as quickly as possible.

”Alright… but, once you kill the White Sobbing Demon, don't come back here. Regroup with the team instead and hand the antidote to your master. The antidote will dry up into powder in a short amount of time, if we're stuck here...” Mu Ningxue agreed with a nod.

The Night Rakshasa left to track the White Sobbing Demon down. She utilized her Shadow spells, avoided the two Fierce Shark Demons patrolling the building, and waited for her chance.

However, the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast was a Commander-level creature, and its senses were a lot sharper. The Night Rakshasa was unable to escape its watch, and it needed Mu Ningxue to lure the creature away.

Mu Ningxue took a deep breath when she saw the Night Rakshasa was in position.

It was fortunate that Jiang Yu had sent his intelligent Contracted Beast to lend her a hand. Otherwise, she would be roaming aimlessly through the East Maritime Fortress, like a headless fly.

However… Mu Ningxue had no idea how long she could last if the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast chased after her.

The Ice Crystal Bow was unavailable, and she still had not fully recovered from her injuries. It would be difficult to flee from a Commander-level creature.

The wind started blowing. Mu Ningxue suppressed the air around her without gathering the attention of the two Fierce Shark Demons close to her.
