Chapter 2074: Ice Crystal Dragon Worm!
"Is that you?"
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes.
He saw the golden talisman being snatched by a shadow and then falling into the hands of a woman in white.
This woman was Ye Ling.
Ye Ling at this moment had a relaxed smile on her face.
"Mr. Zhou, I didn’t expect you to come here alone first."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu said mildly:
"Ye, it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say ahead."
"After leaving Baijian Canyon, I looked for you around and even waited for two days. Not seeing you, I came here alone."
"But you guys, why have you disappeared completely?"
Ye Ling laughed:
"We encountered some trouble after leaving Baijian Canyon, so we had to reroute and come via another path."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.
"You guys?"
"Who else?"
"Of course, us."
A voice came unexpectedly from beside.
The next moment, two flashes of talisman light passed behind Ye Ling, followed by two figures appearing from it.
These two were the boy surnamed Long and Xiao Baifeng.
Upon seeing Zhou Yu, their faces showed varying degrees of surprise.
"Mr. Zhou, you truly surprised me!"
"To think Mr. Zhou actually arrived here first!"
Zhou Yu said calmly:
"Just luck."
The boy surnamed Long took a deep look at Zhou Yu, then turned his gaze towards Ye Ling.
"Ye, that golden talisman, seems you’ve already got it?"
As he spoke, he purposely glanced at the item in Ye Ling’s hand.
Ye Ling gave a nonchalant smile and said:
"Strictly speaking, Mr. Zhou was supposed to get this item."
"But Mr. Zhou is cautious, while the young girl is impatient, not as steady as Mr. Zhou."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu glanced at Ye Ling, who tilted her head and smiled at Zhou Yu.
For a moment, Zhou Yu found it even harder to fathom this woman’s tactics.
At this moment, the boy surnamed Long suddenly looked at Zhou Yu.
"Mr. Zhou, is this the only item here?"
"Or did you obtain anything else before this?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Baifeng and Ye Ling also looked at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu replied with a calm face:
"Only this item."
After saying this, Xiao Baifeng and Ye Ling said nothing, only the boy surnamed Long took a deep look at Zhou Yu.
"Mr. Zhou, we were arranged to team up, the credit for completing the task belongs to everyone."
This sentence carried a warning tone.
However, Zhou Yu seemed as if he didn’t understand, with no reaction.
The boy surnamed Long snorted lightly and then looked at Ye Ling.
"Ye, could I see this item?"
Ye Ling smiled slightly.
"Everyone, this is not a place to stay long."
"Since we have the item, we should leave quickly."
"As for other matters, we’ll discuss once we’re completely safe."
Xiao Baifeng and Zhou Yu both nodded in agreement.
The boy surnamed Long flashed a cold look but said nothing more.
Ye Ling smiled slightly and then tried to store the golden talisman.
However, at that moment, a nondescript stone nearby suddenly exploded.
Right after, a grayish shadow rushed toward Ye Ling, faster than lightning.
Almost instantly, the gray shadow reached Ye Ling’s chest.
Puff!
In an instant, Ye Ling’s chest was pierced through.
This sudden turn of events filled Zhou Yu and the others with fright.
No one expected such a terrifying ambush hidden so close.
By the time they realized it, Ye Ling’s heart was already pierced...
Zhou Yu, snapping back, intended to retrieve the golden talisman from Ye Ling’s hand immediately.
Yet, as soon as he moved, he found that the pierced Ye Ling shattered like a mirror.
"Not right?"
Zhou Yu quickly noticed that wasn’t Ye Ling’s true body, just an avatar!
As soon as Zhou Yu realized this, Ye Ling silently appeared a hundred meters behind them.
Ye Ling, having escaped death, showed no joy, only anger and shock.
Evidently, although she avoided certain death, she paid a hefty price.
However, just as Ye Ling’s true body appeared, a gray shadow went straight for Ye Ling’s back.
Ye Ling’s face changed entirely.
She didn’t even have time to turn, relying on instinct to slightly shift her body.
The next moment, Ye Ling let out a painful sound.
Though she dodged the fatal blow, her shoulder was pierced by the gray shadow.
Scarlet blood sprayed out at once.
After piercing Ye Ling’s shoulder, the shadow immediately turned towards the golden talisman in Ye Ling’s hand.
This time, Ye Ling had no way to evade.
At this critical moment.
She tossed the golden talisman away, and she herself darted in the opposite direction.
This move indeed worked.
The gray shadow went straight for the golden talisman without hesitation.
Bang!
With a loud explosive sound.
A burst of golden light exploded.
The golden talisman was directly destroyed by the shadow.
At this moment, Ye Ling got a moment to breathe after avoiding the calamity.
She roared in anger, and the next moment, behind her, six or seven laser-like fire lines shot out toward the shadow.
In an instant, these fire lines tightly bound the shadow.
"Blast!"
Only heard Ye Ling’s cold shout.
The six or seven fire lines exploded instantly.
At once, terrifying heat spread across the sky and swept toward the surroundings.
Wherever it passed, both protruding rocks and nearby trees silently turned to ashes.
The shadow was also injured by the terrifying flames, its originally ethereal form now revealed itself.
It turned out to be a worm-like entity, but, unlike a worm, it was gray and brown. From its open mouth, an icy ice crystal could be vaguely seen.
All this happened in an instant.
By the time Zhou Yu and the others reacted, the golden talisman had been destroyed.
Seeing this, the boy surnamed Long and Xiao Baifeng’s faces turned extremely ugly.
Their trip was all for the golden talisman, yet it was unexpectedly destroyed.
This means their mission failed?
Among the three, only Zhou Yu’s gaze was fixed on the worm-like exotic beast.
At first showing deep thought, then his expression quickly changed.
"Ice Crystal Dragon Worm!!!"
"No good, we’ve been ambushed..."
