Chapter 160 – Trapped In a Hopeless Situation (2)

On top of its wings, on its body, on its legs… Injuries of different shapes started opening on these places. Some appeared to have been torn apart, others appeared to have been inflicted by sharp weapons, while others appeared to have been caused by something pecking…

Ning Xuemo who was watching this was startled and a little terrified. It seems like this bird had encountered the same thing that happened to her in the water, receiving the attacks of the creatures in the “illusions”. Furthermore, the injuries were real!

A cold wind suddenly blew past Ning Xuemo’s body. The sound of the wind was fierce, and it brought with it a strange and fishy scent!

Ning Xuemo’s reaction was quick. The moment she noticed the situation take a turn for the worse, she immediately let go with both of her hands as she she fell, with a splash, into the lake once more.

Almost at the same time, she heard the miserable shriek of the bird. Its two legs had been sliced off by something. Momentarily losing its balance, its body tilted as it plummeted towards the lake.

This bird was obviously a landlubber. After thrashing around in the water for a while, it slowly sunk to the bottom.

The lake’s surface once again regained its former calm. Tiny waves lightly lapped as if nothing had occurred.

All the hair on Ning Xuemo’s body stood up straight!

It seems not only was this lake strange, even the air above was queer!

Furthermore, this lake didn’t appear to be hiding any mechanism or array in it. Could it be the legendary Immortals’ restrictions?

She wouldn’t fall like this right?!

She dazedly gazed around as she felt a type of hopeless despair engulf her.

If she knew this would happen, she might as well have agreed to the old emperor’s proposal and become his “Beast Consort”!

It was better that than to be suffering here…

This dispirited thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before she grit her teeth and roused her spirits.

Her character was one where she wouldn’t easily give up, not even at the very last moment. Other people would keep going while some hope was left, but her willpower would last even after she died!
