Chapter 2667: Sacrifice (1)

Nangong Mengmeng stood up while trembling and quietly looked at the kind Yun Qi. As Shen Yanxiao often went out and did not return for many years, even though Nangong Mengmeng acknowledged Shen Yanxiao as her teacher, Yun Qi was the one who taught her.

Right now, she could only watch as this kind old man continuously consumed his life to fight against demon beasts. At that moment, Nangong Mengmeng hated her helplessness.

“I will not disgrace Teacher and Grandmaster’s reputation,” Nangong Mengmeng choked with sobs as she spoke. The despair in her eyes gradually faded and was replaced by determination that she had never felt before.

Nangong Mengmeng turned around and dashed out of the city.

She was Shen Yanxiao’s disciple and a Summoner taught by Yun Qi. She could not embarrass her teacher and grandmaster in this military campaign.

On the fierce battlefield, a slender figure stopped outside the city gate. She bit her fingertip and used her blood as a guide to draw a huge summoning array on the dry ground.

Nangong Mengmeng might not know what forbidden curse Yun Qi had used, but she knew what she had to do.

Even if she could not summon a behemoth like a Lava Lord, she would at least use all her strength to summon a phantom beast.

After the summoning array was drawn, Nangong Mengmeng knelt on the ground with her hands on the ground. Bead-sized tears continuously rolled down from her eyes and a heart-wrenching voice was squeezed out from her dry throat.

“No matter who it is, save Teacher… save the Forsaken Land… I can give my life in exchange. Can anyone… save them…” The once innocent girl had transformed. The bloody battle in front of her made her soul tremble.

The summoning array emitted rings of light and the light gradually expanded. Nangong Mengmeng widened her eyes and prayed for a suitable phantom beast to descend.

Even though she was a Summoner, she had not been able to summon a powerful phantom beast due to her limited strength. At most, she had only summoned a middle-grade phantom beast. However, the appearance of a middle-grade phantom beast in such a military campaign was like a drop in the bucket.

Nangong Mengmeng had never felt so helpless. She hated herself for being weak and incompetent.

Her teacher was fighting a bloody battle, and her Grandmaster was risking her life. Why was she doing nothing?

A black shadow gradually formed in the halo.

Despair surfaced in Nangong Mengmeng’s eyes.

The black shadow was very small and was no different from an ordinary magical beast.

Despair spread throughout her body.

In the end, she was still unable to summon a powerful phantom beast?

“Ignorant human, are you the one who summoned me to this world?” A mocking voice sounded from the black shadow.

Accompanied by that unfriendly voice, a pitch-black lion-like phantom beast appeared from the light.

Nangong Mengmeng looked at the phantom beast in surprise. She could not tell the grade of this phantom beast at all. She had never seen such a situation before.

“I smell the fragrance of despair. That smell seems to come from you.” The black lion slowly landed on the ground and walked around Nangong Mengmeng, who was sitting in the summoning array.

“What I want is not you! You can’t…” Nangong Mengmeng sat on the ground with a pale face as despair enveloped her heart.

She needed strength, powerful strength. This phantom beast was not what she wanted.

The black lion frowned and stared at the girl in front of him. The girl’s contempt towards him made him very dissatisfied. “Human, who do you think you are talking to?!”
