âThereâs really more than one. Thereâs another one!â
Alex and the Mystic Maiden quietly headed toward the other side of the mountain foot and hid in a tree.
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavensâ Hiding Avatar was simply a super-evolved version of the
chameleon. Not only did it come with its domain, but it could also change its surface color and blend in
with its surroundings.
Even with divine thoughts, one would find it difficult to detect. On top of that, the scope of divine
thought was very limited in this strange netherworld.
The tree branches were tiny.
The two had minimal space to hide and land.
To not shake the branch, Alex lay on the branch, and the Mystic Maiden rode on his waist. Alex was
panting a little and whispered, âAre you considering losing weight? Youâre too heavy. My bones are
going to break.â
The Mystic Maiden knocked his skull lightly. âLose weight? I am smaller and more delicate than that big
horse Shirley, right? The last time when she was on top of you, you didnât ask her to lose weight, did
you? I saw that you were happy and couldnât help but be pressed together a little longer.â
Alex was ashamed. âWhen did this happen? Nonsense!â
âThe last time when we besieged the Black Blind Bone Demon.â
âUh⦠She was injured back then. I was saving her. The situation was urgent.â
âIs it not an emergency now?â the Mystic Maiden asked. As she spoke, she saw the guy, who had just
shot arrows to wound Shirley and Daya, in front of the ruined temple door. He was wearing a black
robe, hiding in the corner. His black eye sockets seemed to have electric light flashing. He was looking
this way.
The Mystic Maiden hurriedly shut up. She spoke telepathically then, âBe careful. You might be
discovered.â
Alex responded, âHe must have discovered the abnormality of this branch. You are really much heavier
than Shirley.â
The Mystic Maiden was a little upset. âDonât compare me to her. She is not qualified yet.â
Swish!
She flicked the air.
The wind from the finger was soft, and one couldnât feel anything. But, a few hundred meters away, a
tree branch made a crunching sound and swayed. This immediately caught this personâs attention. His
gaze moved.
On the other side, another companion turned into a black stream of light and hurriedly went in that
direction.
The Mystic Maiden whispered a few words into Alexâs ear and instantly led Alex away.
Their target was the guy who shot the arrow.
Swish!
It was so fast that the air fluctuated as it broke the sound barrier.
The man who shot the arrow was very keen and immediately sensed it and shot an arrow with his bow.
At this moment, Alex rushed out of the Mystic Maidenâs hidden boundary and appeared, teleporting to
attract the manâs attention.
The red demonic arrows were in close pursuit, not moving an inch away from Alex.
Alex held Athenaâs golden shield against his back. Although he was able to block the demonic arrows
successfully, each impact still made him feel very uncomfortable, and he almost toppled over to the
ground several times.
âThis demonic arrow is a rare treasure.â
âThis personâs cultivation level doesnât seem to be that great. Heavenly Immortal? It should be a
heavenly mortal instead, right?â
He roared, âF*cking Olympus Tribe. If you have the guts, come here. Let me skin you alive!â
The bright light in the manâs eyes grew even brighter, probably surprised that Alex could tell where they
came from. However, he did not leave. The other person had come back and caught up.
Purpose achieved!
At this moment, Alex was just a target. The actual fatal move was from the Mystic Maiden!
Swishâ¦!
The Mystic Maiden appeared right behind the archer. Instead of attacking directly, she instantly threw
out an object at the back of the archerâs head⦠It was a black ball of something.
The archer was completely focused on Alex. He did not expect a stealthy enemy to appear quietly
behind him. It was a despicable mess as a large group of black mist-like objects smashed upon his
body. Those objects immediately became a riotous mass. Actually, those living things looked like dense
small insects. All of them were stuck to his body.
Eye sockets, nostrils, ear holes, mouthâ¦
Body skeleton.
They were densely packed and began to drill into his skin and bite him.
