Chapter 192: I Don't Care What You Love!
Chapter 192: I Don't Care What You Love!
The same old appearance, unchanged!
Under the moonlight, the fairy maiden attacked once more.
The enemy's figure appeared in her eyes, but Hong didn't fear the danger; instead, she realized something.
She threw Lindsey aside, far away, and gripped the meteor spear, launching another attack.
This time, she failed.
The fairy maiden struck from behind, her speed just a fraction faster than Hong's, and a hand blade slashed directly onto Hong's forearm.
Buzz!
The fairy maiden was strong, but it was impossible for a single hand blade to sever Hong's arm.
However, the pain was intense.
Hong immediately felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over her mind—this creature was poisonous! She almost instantly realized what was happening.
Gritting her teeth, Hong retaliated with a spear thrust.
Swish—
But the fairy maiden had already struck and vanished again.
She knew her advantages lay in her poison and agility; she had no intention of facing Hong head-on!
"..."
Hong stood alone, waves of dizziness and nausea washing over her.
She reversed the meteor spear in her hand and slashed it across her clean forearm, leaving a burning, gruesome wound.
The intense burning sensation stimulated Hong's nerves, preventing her from fainting immediately.
Even though she was severely injured and poisoned, her expression remained calm as water, and she silently counted in her mind:
"Three, two, one!"
As the countdown ended, she swung the spear, creating an afterimage as she threw it again.
The fairy maiden's figure had not yet appeared in the air.
The thrown spear pointed directly above Lindsey!
"Ah!"
The next second, a cry of pain came from Lindsey.
It wasn't that he was in trouble within the illusion; the fairy maiden had just appeared above him.
It seemed as if she had chosen to appear at the very moment the spear was about to arrive.
She willingly revealed herself, as if to welcome this attack.
In an instant, a spear pierced through the fairy maiden's left shoulder, and the intense pain even affected the illusion she was maintaining.
At this moment, in an unnoticed detail, Lindsey's fingers twitched slightly.
The flame-shaped crimson magic mark transformed into an earthy yellow texture.
At the same time, the fairy maiden stared at Hong with an uncomprehending expression:
"How did you know?"
Hong let out a cold laugh and gripped the spear again, ready to throw it:
"Every time you disappeared, you reappeared next to Lindsey, and the timing was identical. Even a fool could figure it out!"
Then, Hong's movements froze.
The fairy maiden, with flames burning on her shoulder, no longer had the upper hand as before.
She dared not hope to take down both humans at once, so she directly held Lindsey in front of her as a human shield.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Hong's hesitation, the fairy maiden laughed wildly:
"Crazy woman, go ahead and throw your weapon again!"
Hong's eyes turned cold. She pushed off the ground and charged straight at the fairy maiden.
Since long-range attacks were ineffective,
She would engage in close combat and rescue Lindsey from the fairy maiden's grasp!
"Don't even think about coming closer!"
Upon seeing Hong's movement, the fairy maiden let out a piercing shriek.
The crystal-like wings on her back instantly burst open, transforming into a cloud of diamond dust that enveloped both her and Lindsey.
The fairy maiden glared at Hong with malice.
The meaning in her eyes was clear—dare you to come in!
"..."
The fairy maiden secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Her body naturally contained potent poison.
At this moment, she deliberately burst her wings, turning them into powder that floated around, almost forming an impenetrable shield.
To charge in for close combat would inevitably lead to exposure to new toxins.
And with the toxins surrounding her, it would be suicidal for Hong to enter!
After this defensive move, the fairy maiden still felt uneasy, so she tried to sway Hong with words:
"Human, I only want the male in my hands.
"If you turn around and run now, I can guarantee I won't pursue you."
"But if you rush in... How did that little tap I gave you feel just now?"
"..."
Hong was currently in this predicament.
The Mother Tree was rapidly approaching from the direction of Thorn Valley, and she would arrive in just a matter of minutes.
At this moment, Hong was suffering from poison injuries.
To rescue Lindsey, she had to proactively charge into the poisonous fog ahead.
"It's either one of us dies, or both of us."
Hong chuckled at the dire situation before her.
Without a moment's hesitation, she gripped her spear and charged straight into the poisonous fog that enveloped the two of them.
"Ah?"
The fairy maiden hadn't expected her opponent to be so resolute. Instinctively, she attempted to flicker and disappear again, intending to trap Hong within the poisonous fog.
But this time, she didn't succeed. A searing pain struck her abdomen! Lindsey, who should have been firmly trapped in the illusion, somehow managed to break free from a strand of restraint. In close proximity, he stabbed her body with a swift strike!
"You despicable human, you're stalling for time!"
Whoosh! In that instant, Hong also rushed forward like a swift wind and struck the fairy maiden.
Lindsey's close-range strike hindered her flicker ability, allowing Hong to deliver the final lethal blow!
Clang! The flame on the spear flashed and vanished, like a brilliant light.
The meteor spear pierced straight through the fairy maiden's head, pinning her to the ground.
Thud—
The fairy maiden's body twitched on the ground, and a lingering obsession remained in her fading life, as she muttered in a disjointed manner:
"My love..."
"I don't care who you love!"
Hong stirred the spear in her hand, cutting off the fairy maiden's dying words. A sense of dizziness that was hard to resist filled her mind.
Previously, she could maintain her consciousness due to the burning sensation on her arm.
But now, after charging into the area filled with poison powder, the additional toxins proved too much for her. Her body began to slump downward.
Thud!
The maiden staggered and fell, but a pair of arms that had just risen caught her and helped her stand again.
As the fairy maiden died, Lindsey completely broke free from her control.
He instantly realized their current situation and embraced Hong, who was about to collapse, rushing out of the poisonous fog.
At the same time, he poured the antidote potion into their mouths from his backpack.
The antidote took effect quickly.
However, the low-level potion couldn't immediately neutralize the poison.
The two of them, having emerged from the poisonous fog, still suffered from its effects, but they didn't immediately fall into a coma from the poison's torment.
Smack! Lindsey slapped himself hard to stay alert.
He opened the backpack and took out the prepared cocaine leaf, which he then resourcefully stuffed into their mouths.
"Hong, chew it thoroughly!"
Cocaine leaves inherently have anesthetic, pain-relieving, and stimulating effects on the central nervous system, and they also help alleviate fatigue.
After being resourcefully utilized, their effects were even better.
Maintaining their state with the help of the drugs, Lindsey changed his magic mark to the Mountain Crest Emblem. He turned his gaze towards the still-lingering poisonous fog and the corpse of the fairy maiden within it.
Since this person had poisoned them, perhaps they also had the antidote?
Hong immediately understood Lindsey's thoughts and quickly reminded him:
"Lindsey, that person is poisonous!"
"And there's some bad news. Before I killed her, she seemed to have called that Mother Tree over here as well."
"..."
"So that's how I got poisoned?"
Lindsey recalled how he had slapped the enemy while searching for them.
The reason he was poisoned was that he had slapped the enemy's face.
At this moment, he turned to look towards the south.
The Mother Tree was rampaging through the forest, making a huge commotion. Even without using any skills, one could easily discern her location.
But the even worse news was that at this speed, the Mother Tree would likely arrive at their position within a quarter of an hour!
And the current state of Lindsey and Hong...
"It's indeed a rather desperate situation."
