Chapter 71: Summoning the Half-Abomination
Jiang Xiaowen’s face was still a touch pale as she recovered from the slime’s wave of mental attack. She was shocked to discover Xiao Yu holding her by the waist and soaring about, evading the deadly acid attacking them from all sides, and she felt a bit bitter in her heart. She originally wanted to assist him and relieve the pressure against the swarm of monsters, but she didn’t expect herself to become a burden in the end.
“Hold on tightly; I will fly a short distance and bypass this area.”
“Can you do it?” Xiao Yu was skeptical.
Jiang Xiaowen could fly, but she couldn’t stay in the air for a long time. In addition, flying with heavy loads was significantly more difficult. Xiao Yu was well aware of this point. Never mind flying with another person, Jiang Xiaowen could hardly stay in the air for half an hour on her own.
However, the girl gritted her teeth and stated with resolve, “No problem!”
Xiao Yu was not a whiny person, and since she looked confident, he directly chose to believe in her and immediately changed his posture, embracing Jiang Xiaowen’s slender waist. His face was nearly touching her ample and firm breasts. The girl in question, though, didn’t care about this and, with no time to spare, focused on her beautiful butterfly wings that shone brightly as she flapped them with vigor, creating a powerful gust of wind. She managed to fly higher tremblingly, avoiding a barrage of acid with difficulty, before leaping across the swampy area and finally stopping about four to five hundred meters away.
Jiang Xiaowen was panting non-stop and imminently collapsed in Xiao Yu’s arms the moment she landed as if she had lost all her strength.
However, the threat persisted, and the giant slime charged in like a massive tank, absorbing and consuming all the monsters in its path. Xiao Yu finally realized why the red slime possessed such formidable spiritual power. It was likely that it had grown by devouring other slimes, accumulating their spiritual energy over time. Individually, a slime’s spiritual power was weak. Still, as more and more were consumed—ten, one hundred, and then up to a thousand of them—their combined force became formidable, amounting to a significant spiritual force.
Jiang Xiaowen panted heavily and whispered, “What to do? Should we continue running away?”
