Chapter 220 Second Release
Zheng Haoyuan’s complexion was pale, and his breathing was rapid as he clung tightly to Zheng Nianru’s hand, completely forgetting to flee.
Zheng Nianru didn’t move, feeling that escaping was useless. So many guards couldn’t even stop one monster, but in her previous life, she had known nothing about this creature. She hadn’t even laid eyes on such monsters, and even hearing about them seemed like mere exaggerations from others.
However, in this life, Zheng Nianru had no choice but to take seriously this monster she had never cared about before.
What exactly were they? Why did they keep appearing in Nanzheng State, and what was their purpose?
But now, there was no time for Zheng Nianru to ponder these questions. She grabbed Zheng Haoyuan and rolled directly into the embrace of the Northern Meng Savage.
"Go——" Zheng Nianru shouted, and the young man instantly understood what Zheng Nianru was planning to do. He immediately grabbed the Savage’s arm, and the Savage excitedly lifted Zheng Haoyuan with one arm and Zheng Nianru with the other, speeding forward.
The whooshing sound of the wind was immediate, and Xue Liu trembled under the table, worried about the Commandery Princess’s safety.
Dozens of guards tangled with the shadow, immediately slowing its pace. One guard grabbed the shadow’s arm and instantly felt something was off. The next moment, he looked down to see the arm he was holding resembled a withered branch, its skin like dry bark wrapped around bones. Before he could react, the shadowy monster suddenly turned its head to look at the guard. The guard, looking up, saw not eyes but a pair of pitch-black orbs. Before the guard could respond, a cloud of black smoke sprayed directly into his face.
The guard stiffened all at once, like a wooden figure, and the next moment, he was flung out by the shadow, falling hard on the ground.
