Chapter 1389 The Herb Valley's Mystery (2)



Hao Lie stepped forward and raised his hand to touch the invisible barrier several times. "It should be a very high-level one… We're in trouble now."

"Roar!"

A ferocious roar resounded once again, but this time, it wasn't far away from Hao Lie and Ning Yue's position.

At the same time, both of them could feel a terrifying cold rapidly approaching them.

Crackle!

Countless trees in the far distance were gradually covered by layers of frost, and the ice constantly expanded toward Hao Lie and Ning Yue.

A freezing light abruptly flashed in front of them, and the silhouette of a beast that was about three meters tall appeared quickly. Its entire body was snowy white, with claws that were like frozen blades and eyes that were blood red. It was an ice wolf releasing its bloodthirsty aura!

This was a terrifying profound beast with the strength of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm!

The faces of Hao Lie and Ning Yue went ghastly pale at the appearance of the ice wolf. They were petrified on the spot, unable to make a move.

The ice wolf wasn't in a hurry to attack. It stared at Ning Yue and Hao Lie coldly, as if it was trying to see what these two preys would do.

Hao Lie tremblingly reached out to grab a small knife on his waist and said. "I will buy time for you. You have to run as fast as you can. Do you hear me?"

He knew that the two of them couldn't escape from this ice wolf. He wanted to try his luck by letting Ning Yue run alone.

Ning Yue's body shook as she looked at Hao Lie. Her hand subconsciously grabbed the pendant as she uttered a sound. "Ah… Oh! R-Run!"

Hao Lie was stunned by Ning Yue's voice. He looked at her in disbelief as he stammered. "Y-Your voice?"

Perhaps Ning Yue's voice aroused dissatisfaction from the ice wolf. It instantly let loose a bloody roar and pounced on her directly.

Hao Lie's expression changed drastically. He instinctively slammed his entire body onto the incoming wolf while stabbing the knife out with all his might.

The ice wolf didn't have any emotions, and its goal was to do everything to tear Ning Yue apart. It casually made a slap in the air and blew Hao Lie away with a gust of cold wind.

Ning Yue was petrified in the place as she watched the ice wolf fly over. She unconsciously dropped her head in fear, gripping the pendant with both hands and calling for Yun Lintian in her mind.

"No!" Hao Lie shouted desperately as he crashed onto the ground violently. As much as he wanted to save Ning Yue, it was impossible for him to do anything now.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a golden light shot out of the pendant in Ning Yue's hand and blasted the incoming ice wolf away. 

"W-What!?" Hao Lie was stunned by the scene. 

Hearing the crashing sound, Ning Yue opened her eyes and raised her head to look at the scene. She immediately saw the ice wolf twitch on the ground painfully as a giant hole appeared in its chest.

A moment later, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the pendant gratefully. Without it, she would become the ice wolf's food by now.

Hao Lie came back to his sense and jumped to his feet before rushing toward the ice wolf. 

He grabbed the knife tightly and stabbed the ice wolf's head with all his might. "Die!"

Ding!

The dagger managed to penetrate into the ice wolf's head a little and broke in half directly. 

"Roar!" Feeling the pain in its head, the ice wolf roared furiously as countless ice spikes infested in the air and shot toward Hao Lie.

Hao Lie hurriedly avoided the ice pikes, but his speed was too low. All he could do right now was helplessly watch as the ice pikes rushed toward him with an incredibly sharp noise.

At this moment, Ning Yue stepped forward, and a golden light suddenly shot out of the pendant, forming a golden barrier around Hao Lie and herself.

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

The ice pikes crashed into the barrier and exploded into ice particles directly.

At the same time, another golden light rushed out of the pendant and smashed onto the ice wolf's head, reaping its life instantly.

Hao Lie and Ning Yue looked at the headless ice wolf in a daze for a while before returning to their senses. 

Hao Lie turned to look at Ning Yue. More precisely, at the pendant in her hands. "What is that?"

He raised his head to look at her and asked further. "And how did your voice recover?"

Ning Yue let out a long breath and looked at him. "Ah… R-Run… F-First."

Although she could pronounce the words properly, Hao Lie could understand her.

"You're right." Hao Lie nodded heavily. He glanced at the lifeless ice wolf hesitantly and said. "We can't leave it here."

As he spoke, he quickly crouched beside the corpse and used the small hoe to pry the wolf's chest open. 

After a while, Hao Lie managed to get the wolf's profound beast core out, as well as some of its bones, before wrapping them with his clothes.

"We will share it later." Hao Lie said with a serious expression. "Can you break the formation?"

Ning Yue didn't say anything. She walked to the invisible barrier and touched the pendant. However, nothing happened.

Seeing this, Hao Lie frowned deeply. It seemed there was no way to escape from here.

Ning Yue took held the pendant tightly and tried to contact Yun Lintian. "Ah…L-Lin…"

"A profound beast?" Yun Lintian's voice suddenly resounded in Ning Yue's mind.

Ning Yue was overjoyed and tried to explain something, but she couldn't communicate properly.

"No need to say anything. Wait for me there." Yun Lintian's voice resounded.

Ning Yue was slightly puzzled upon hearing this. This place was obviously sealed by the formation. How would Yun Lintian come?

On the side, Hao Lie looked at Ning Yue in confusion. He didn't understand what she was trying to do.

"Let's get out of here first. I'm afraid the blood will attract other beasts." Hao Lie said.

Ning Yue hesitated slightly and nodded. Anyway, Yun Lintian should be able to find her location.

Swoosh!

Before the two could move, Yun Lintian suddenly appeared beside Ning Yue like a ghost.

"A Divine Spirit level formation? Looks like there's a big secret here." Yun Lintian glanced at the invisible barrier briefly and said.
