Chapter 2376: Working Together (5)
The seemingly red light from before was actually a tongue. The beast behind the tongue was usually very aggressive and violent. Even without its tongue, it would have no intention of letting Yun Qingluo go. It was ready to swallow her at any opportunity.
The two escorts tried to respond to the situation to save their princess. However, to their surprise, another red light flashed by and forced them to retreat. Meanwhile, Yun Qingluo was on the verge of being swallowed alive before a seven-colored light came to the rescue; it was from Di Fuyi. He thought he was able to force the creature to let go of Yun Qingluo with one strike, but it was not the case. He could only take down one of the creatures.
Yun Qingluo must not die. Hence, without a second thought, he rushed into the mouth of the creature that held Yun Qingluo hostage. Before the creature sealed its mouth, Di Fuyi was able to take Yun Qingluo’s hand. He launched another strike with his left arm and aimed it exactly at the tongue that Yun Qingluo was unfortunately tangled with.
Blood splashed out like a fountain while the creature was clearly in pain as it loosened its tongue. Di Fuyi seized the brief window and pulled Yun Qingluo out of its mouth, forcibly. He then pushed her away to the escorts, who tried to keep her balance.
Di Fuyi’s entire body was already halfway in the creature’s mouth. He managed to get Yun Qingluo out but was unable to free himself. In a fit of rage, the mouth full of sharp teeth was closing up. Fortunately, Di Fuyi was very agile. He would not let himself die, though he was unable to escape. With a leap, he rolled into the creature’s big mouth. Then, before its mouth was completely sealed, he raised his sword and quickly stood it tall to prevent the beast from closing its mouth. There was a slight gap, so he quickly escaped through it.
Gu Xijiu raised her arms and grabbed him before using her teleportation skill. In the blink of an eye, they were already ten feet away from the creature. Di Fuyi looked up and saw a pair of pitch-black eyes staring back at him.
