Yin Wuyouâs figure flashed, and just as Zhou Shu was about to fall, she caught him in time.
She raised her head and looked at him.
Zhou Shuâs eyes were slightly red, and his breathing was rapid. He didnât react like before after using the divine ability.
âZhou Shuâ¦â Yin Wuyou said worriedly.
âLet them go first!â Zhou Shu used almost all his strength to speak. âTake me somewhere!â
Yin Wuyou felt Zhou Shuâs large hand slide toward her waist, and her pretty face instantly flushed red. Although she didnât know why, she wouldnât reject him.
âGo ahead, Great General. Weâll catch up!â
Yin Wuyou picked up Zhou Shu and flew into the sky.
Meng Bai didnât understand, but now wasnât the time to think about it. He led the army and continued in the direction Zhou Shu had pointed out.
Yin Wuyou had only flown out for a few kilometers when she felt Zhou Shuâs large hand swimming around her body.
Her body went limp. She could no longer hold on and landed in a forest.
Just as she landed, she felt Zhou Shuâs body pressing down on her.
âAhhh~!â Yin Wuyou felt her body fill up and couldnât help letting out a long moan.
She couldnât care less that this was the wilderness of the Demon Realm. She reached out and hugged Zhou Shuâs neck tightly.
â¦
After an unknown period of time, when Zhou Shu regained consciousness, he immediately felt something warm and fragrant in his arms.
He looked down and saw snow. The madness from earlier rang in his mind.
A wry smile appeared on his face. He was obviously in an abnormal state just now.
In all likelihood, he had fallen into the Demon Queenâs trap.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and left in time.
Or elseâ¦
Zhou Shu thought of the Demon Queen.?If I hadnât left quickly, the one lying in my arms wouldnât have been Yin Wuyouâ¦
Come to think of it, why does it feel a little exciting?
Zhou Shu hurriedly shook his head and pushed this dangerous thought to the back of his mind.
âZhou Shu, are you alright?â Yin Wuyou felt a certain body part of Zhou Shu, and her face turned red. She looked up at Zhou Shu.
âIâm okay now.â Zhou Shu smiled bitterly and reached out to touch Yin Wuyouâs delicate body. âIt was hard on you just now.â
It wasnât easy for Yin Wuyou in such an environmentâ¦
Yin Wuyou buried her face in Zhou Shuâs arms. When she thought of what had just happened, she felt ashamed.
âIâm glad youâre okay,â Yin Wuyou whispered. âLetâs do it in a room in the future, okay?â
Yin Wuyouâs shy appearance almost made Zhou Shuâs bestial nature erupt again.
It wasnât appropriate to continue doing anything here. Zhou Shu patted Yin Wuyouâs back. âWe have to catch up with the general and the others. I wonder if that Demon Queen has caught up.â
Yin Wuyou gasped. She also realized that they had been away for a long time. It would be troublesome if the Demon Queen caught up to the army.
âZhou Shu, you and that Demon Queenââ Yin Wuyou asked as she picked up her clothes on the ground and put them on.
âIâm not yet a match for the Demon Queen,â Zhou Shu said solemnly.
In the battle with the Demon Queen, he had slashed her twice, but he had only left a shallow wound on her tail. At that moment, Zhou Shu knew that he couldnât kill the Demon Queen!
Even if the Demon Queen had collapsed to the ground for some reason, Zhou Shu knew that he couldnât kill her!
This was why Zhou Shu had decisively left. After all, he wasnât sure why the Demon Queen had collapsed to the ground, nor did he know when she would recover.
After helping Yin Wuyou put on her clothes, Zhou Shu wrapped his arm around her slender waist and soared into the sky.
With Zhou Shuâs full strength, they caught up to the main force of the Ten Nations Alliance in just an hour.
Zhou Shu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they were unharmed.
Fortunately, the Demon Queen didnât chase after them. Otherwise, the Ten Nations Alliance might not even be able to withstand a single blow from her.
Now that the Ten Nations Alliance was intact, it meant that not only did the Demon Queen not chase after them, but even the initial pursuers didnât continue to chase after them.
Thinking about it, it made sense. They had directly crossed the territory of the Demon Queen. If the million-strong Demon Realm army wanted to continue chasing them, they had to take a detour.
This detour would take them some time.
Seeing Zhou Shu and Yin Wuyou descend from the sky, Meng Bai and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Without Zhou Shu around, their hearts seemed to be suspended in midair.
Now that Zhou Shu was back, everyone felt extremely at ease.
âWe were lucky, Great General. We won the bet.â Zhou Shu saw Meng Bai and smiled as he made a joke.
It was only until now that everyone finally relaxed a little.
With no pursuers pursuing them for the time being, they could finally catch their breath.
âYour Highness, the Demon Queenâ¦â Meng Bai asked.
âI donât know,â Zhou Shu said truthfully. âIf she wanted to chase after me, she would have already done so.
âSince sheâs not here now, she probably wonât come after us. Weâre safe for now.â
Meng Bai heaved a long sigh of relief. This should be the only good news he had heard in the past few days.
âHow is everyone doing, Great General?â Zhou Shu asked.
âThe seriously injured have taken your medicinal pills, and those who can recover have already recovered,â Meng Bai replied. âEveryone is in good shape now. They still have the strength to fight again, but the numbersâ¦â
Pain flashed in Meng Baiâs eyes.
He was experienced, but he had not experienced many wars with such heavy losses.
He felt his heart lurch at the thought of the dead.
They originally had over 90,000 people. After a few days, only 30,000 people were left in the Ten Nations Alliance. They had lost almost two-thirds of their soldiers!
And there were 30,000 people only because Zhou Shu had given them many pills that could allow them to break through. Otherwise, the losses would have definitely been even greater.
After hearing Meng Baiâs number, Zhou Shu was silent for a moment.
âLook on the bright side. We still have thirty thousand men,â Zhou Shu said in a low voice. âThere are still many things we can do. The Ten Nations are in turmoil. We canât give up so easily.â
âDonât worry, Your Highness. Iâm still holding on.â Meng Bai smiled bitterly. He had been fighting for decades, but in the end, his mind was not as firm as that of a twenty-year-old young man.
âTell me the truth, Your Highness. What are the chances of us returning to the Ten Nations Continent?â Meng Bai asked solemnly.
The Ten Nations knew almost nothing about the Demon Realm.
Before this, the human race had sent many spies to the Demon Realm, but no one had ever returned alive.
It was not until this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament that Cao Chenyang became the first human to return from the Demon Realm. However, Cao Chenyangâs understanding of the Demon Realm was only superficial.
On the other hand, Zhou Shu, who had never been to the Demon Realm, had a deep understanding of it.
He even knew the terrain of the Demon Realm like the back of his hand.
This was why Meng Bai had asked.
He knew that the Demon Realm had already invaded the Ten Nations Continent. Now, he didnât know what the situation was on the Ten Nations Continent. Meng Bai only wanted to know if they had any hope of returning to help the Ten Nations.
âYour Highness, Iâve fought for decades and have encountered countless terrible situations. Donât worry. No matter how bad the real situation is, I can accept it,â Meng Bai said with a sunken voice.
âYou want the truth?â Zhou Shu said.
âYes!â Meng Bai said. âEven if I die, I want to know.â
âItâs not that bad.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âFrom the looks of it, the chances of us returning to the Ten Nations Continent are almost zero.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meng Bai was silent for a moment before speaking. âIs that so?â
Although he was already mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed when he heard Zhou Shu say this.
Originally, he was wondering if Zhou Shu could create another miracle.
âAt the moment, the chances of us being able to return to the Ten Nations Continent through the gap opened by Emperor Wei Wu are almost nil,â Zhou Shu continued. âHowever, itâs not like thereâs no other hope. Great General Meng, have you heard of a base behind the enemy?â
