Night slowly came as the day progressed.
In the evening, Sunken Abyss ordered the entire army to set up camp and rest in the wilderness, waiting for the next day.
The huge bonfire in the middle shone with red flames, illuminating the originally dark world. The entire military camp was filled with a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone sat in a circle and chatted with each other.
Although the journey to the capital was still very far, everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation and joy.
Ming Cheya sat on a tree and watched everything silently. Even after such a long time, the human world did not change much.
It was still the same as before. The vast night sky, the unchanging scenery, and the mortals were always laughing, quarreling, and fighting with each other.
"Do you want to come down and eat something?" Shen Yuan's voice pulled Ming Cheya back to reality.
Just as Ming Cheya was about to refuse, she suddenly saw a silver spear about six to seven feet in length flying toward the Abyss with a fierce killing intent. Ming Cheya's eyes widened involuntarily. Before she could react, she had already moved to block the Abyss.
With a " chi " sound, half of the spear pierced into his body.
" There's an assassin. Protect His Highness." Yan Dan was the first to react and shouted. He casually picked up the big axe beside him and spun it twice. He was alert of his surroundings and prepared for battle.
However, the strange thing was that after a while, he still did not see the enemy.
Chen Yuan's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He quickly went forward and hugged Ming Cheya, who was slowly falling down from the spear.
Blood had already flowed all over the ground, gradually dyeing Chen Yuan's hands and the ground beneath him red. Then, an unknown red flower without green leaves grew rapidly from the blood, blooming in a bewitching manner. While everyone was still on guard, the two of them had already been drowned by the blooming flowers.
Seeing this, everyone wanted to get closer, but they were attacked indiscriminately by the flower. When they retreated to a certain distance, the flower finally " calmed down " and continued to bloom strangely in the night, relying on the blood on the ground.
"State Preceptor." Han Yuan looked worriedly at the flower that had suddenly appeared.
Each of them was about the size of two adult palms, and the huge petals surrounded the red stamen in the middle. The stemless branches continued to extend, completely covering the two of them, making it impossible for others to see what was going on inside.
Tuoba Xianjun clenched his fists and bit the corner of his mouth. For the first time, he felt ashamed of his own powerlessness. He did not even notice the sudden attack from the spear earlier. He even let the enemy almost succeed. It was simply a shame in life.
However, the most important thing to do now was to check on the red-robed woman's injuries. However, this flower that had suddenly bloomed hindered their progress. They were forced to stop here, not knowing what to do.
Chen Yuan helplessly hugged Ming Cheya, who was bleeding non-stop. His heart ached terribly. She wanted to reach out and pull out the spear that was stuck in Ming Cheya's chest, but she realized that her hands were trembling and she did not dare to go forward to hold it.
A headache that had never appeared before gradually came, but Shen Yuan did not realize that his consciousness was quietly leaving him.
Ming Cheya's eyes were blurry due to excessive bleeding. However, he still reached out to hold the hand of the mortal who was hugging him. Because just now, she had vaguely seen a person who looked very similar to a mortal block a sword for her, and then his soul dissipated. That scene made her heart ache. She didn't want this kind of thing to happen to this mortal who had a gentle smile on his face and made her feel at ease.
Chen Yuan reached out to hold Ming Cheya's hand that was barely raised to grope around. However, he did not know that the color of his pupils was gradually changing.
"Is…everything…alright?" Ming Cheya hurriedly asked with difficulty as soon as her hand was held. She tried her best to open her lifeless eyes wide to make sure that Shen Yuan was fine.
"Yes." Chen Yuan tightened his grip on Ming Cheya, his throat letting out a painful echo.
However, Abyss's reply did not reach Ming Cheya's ears, who was about to fall unconscious. Ming Cheya opened her mouth and called out again,""Are you…alright?”
When he heard the last two words, Abyss's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know how she knew his name. Just as he was about to ask, Ming Cheya had already closed her eyes weakly.
This made Hanba panic. His strange eyes gradually turned red, and the aura around him became manic. He wanted to carry Ming Cheya out of the cage of flowers, but his hands and feet were entangled by them, preventing him from moving any further.
Hanba narrowed his eyes dangerously. His eyes were filled with anger and impatience that had never appeared before. He was about to summon the devil flame to burn this troublesome thing but was stopped by the two people who suddenly appeared.
"Princess." Upon smelling Ming Cheya's blood, Manzhu, who had rushed over, cried out in alarm when she saw her covered in blood. However, he found that the princess was in critical condition because of the continuous loss of blood.
Moreover, there was actually a powerful demon who was filled with the aura of a demon beside him.
But now was not the time to care about that. Saving the princess's life was more important. Man Zhu and Sha Hua strode to Ming Cheya's side and took out the spirit pills that the Underworld King had given them when they left the Underworld.
Man Zhuba took out a Blood Stopping Bead and fed it to Ming Cheya. When she saw that the blood flow was slowing down, she raised her head and said to the two people present,""Sha Hua, draw your spear. Demon, hug the princess well."
Then, Sha Hua stepped forward and pulled out the spear. Following that, Manzhu immediately plucked the flowers that had bloomed beside Ming Cheya. She crushed the petals one by one until they oozed out a bright red liquid. Then, she placed it on her wound. Sha Hua took the pills in her hand and fed them to the demons one by one.
It wasn't that he didn't want to feed it to the princess, but the demon's aura was too terrifying. He had no choice but to give it to him.
Sha Hua handed over the pill while cursing in his heart.
After some treatment, the wounds on Ming Cheya's body were healing at a visible rate. Blood was no longer flowing out. This situation made the three people present heave a sigh of relief.
However, Ming Cheya's face was so pale that it was almost transparent. The three of them felt their hearts clench.
After Ming Cheya's condition stabilized, Manzhu and Sha Hua sat down on the ground and relaxed their tense bodies. At the same time, they sized up the demon who was still hugging the princess tightly as if she was a treasure.
Hanba frowned and looked at the unconscious Ming Cheya with a face full of heartache. He was sure that he did not want to see her bleeding from her injuries for the second time in his life. He didn't know why he cared so much about this person who had only come to his side a few times, but he knew that no matter what the Nether King wanted to do, he had achieved his goal.
Because just now, he confirmed that this woman had an irreplaceable position in his heart. That kind of heartache, that kind of discomfort, that kind of pain that seemed to tear his soul apart. He did not want to experience it a second time.
Most importantly, he didn't want to lose her. He hoped that she could stay by his side. Such feelings came so suddenly that he was caught off guard. But I'm happy to drink it.
"Why was she bleeding non-stop just now?”Hanba used his right hand to gently rub Ming Cheya's cheek, hoping that he could use this to let a trace of blood appear on her transparent face.
"Because the princess 'mother is a human.”Manzhu looked at him and slowly replied," The princess's spiritual power is too strong, but her body is very weak. Therefore, once injured, it was very difficult to heal. It would only be effective through these pills.”
"Then what's with these flowers?"
"This is the flower that the princess 'mother had been cultivating with her blood before she died. It was the flower that the princess 'mother wanted to use to protect the princess. And it had the strong desire of the princess's mother. Therefore, when the princess was in danger, they would automatically grow by her side to protect her. Don't let anyone get close." Sha Hua swallowed her saliva under Hanba's dangerous gaze and answered softly.
"Then why can you come in?"
"We are the companion creatures of the Creeping Pearl Sand Flower. I am Manzhu, he is Sha Hua." Manzhu pointed at Sha Hua and said indifferently. Through her observation, she could see that although this demon had a terrifying aura, his eyes were filled with concern for the princess.
"When will she wake up?" Hanba was silent for a while. He looked at the unconscious Ming Cheya and asked in a deep voice.
This was also the question that Manzhu and Sha Hua wanted to know the most. This was because it was the first time they had seen the princess suffer such serious injuries since they were born. They were able to remain calm just now thanks to the strict teachings of His Majesty the Underworld King. Otherwise, they would definitely be so flustered that they didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Manzhu and Shahua admired the Underworld King at the same time.
"We don't know either." Manzhu answered worriedly.
Hanba was completely silent when he heard that. However, his fingers continued to rub Ming Cheya's cheeks, hoping that he could use this to calm the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
The three people in the "flower cage" were speechless, but the people outside the flower were burning with anxiety. Tuoba Xianjun had been feeling uneasy ever since he sensed the aura of demons coming from the flower cage. He led the group to approach the flowers but was attacked by them.
This made Tuoba Xianjun furious. Could this flower be a trap set by the enemy?
With that thought, Tuoba Xianjun summoned the white Kylin Fire. But unexpectedly, the Kylin Fire was actually useless. Because the moment the Qilin Fire touched the flower, it was completely extinguished.
"State Preceptor." Seeing this, Liu Qing went forward to ask about the situation, but she stopped when she saw Tuoba Xianjun's dark expression.
Manzhu looked at the situation outside through the flower cage, then stood up and walked out.
"Manzhu, what are you doing? I'll go with you." Seeing Manzhu stand up, Sha Hua immediately followed. He did not dare to stay here with this demon. It was so terrifying.
