Chapter 152 138: Blood and Valor

Xu Xiaoyou returned to Tang Xin's side with the Dawn Blade, swiftly dealing with all the Fogman around the young girl. Looking at the endless stream of monsters surging from all directions, both of their expressions darkened.Tang Xin's arm bore a deep, narrow wound, her face pale, lips tightly pressed, and her slender body trembling slightly.

"Are you alright?" Xu Xiaoyou noticed the girl's injury and asked.

Xu Xiaoyou herself was also injured; it was unrealistic to avoid all attacks while moving through the battlefield. The most unsettling wound was on her right arm, a few centimeters deep, with crimson blood continuously flowing out.

Yet, she seemed not to feel the pain, her gaze remained calm, breathing steady. After decisively ending the life of the monster before her with a clean strike, she sheathed her long blade behind her and frowned towards the blue-haired girl.

Tang Xin shook her head; this was her first experience with such an event — being attacked by bizarre creatures of this magnitude, coming so close to death, had shattered all remaining beauty she held for the world and her curiosity for the unknown.

She was terrified, so much that she couldn't stop trembling, wanting to turn and flee from here. But the blonde-haired girl was still here, still by her side, giving her a sense of security, and the rest of the team was still fighting fiercely.

She endured the stinging pain, softly singing a song. Streams of life-giving water flowed gently across the battlefield like soft hands, soothing everyone's troubled hearts and healing their wounds.

The wounds on their bodies were healing rapidly. Lin Xing and Lin Sheng noticed this, their eyes, blinded by a murderous intent, became slightly clearer, gradually regaining some sense.

Lin Xing leaped behind a Fogman, his eyes stern, holding two daggers in front, slashing a series of shadows, with blades darkening with blood, cutting through space.

Lin Sheng quickly followed behind, wielding a large blade to stab, slash horizontally, and chop vertically. With a final shout, he forced all surrounding monsters to retreat, his crimson eyes erupting with endless rage, instilling fear among the monsters.

Both simultaneously looked at the blue-haired girl in the center of the battlefield. This flower, grown in a greenhouse, did not bow under the sudden rain when the roof sheltering her was removed. Her tiny, soft petals bravely spread under the gale, eventually blossoming.

The blonde girl beside her acted like a guard, her combat performance exceptionally brilliant under multiple reinforcements, remaining calm throughout. Every strike precisely killed a Fogman, moving swiftly and lethally through the bloody mist, on par with an ordinary Three Tier Cleaner!

Tang Xin's performance surpassed everyone's expectations. They were initially displeased with Xu Xiaoyou bringing a burden along, not knowing if this girl, who never even touched a gun and grew up in a greenhouse, would collapse, screaming and running around, dragging them all down during a crisis.

Unexpectedly, with the auxiliary abilities of the Starry Singer and Water Mage, the collapsing battle situation gradually improved. After a quarter of an hour into the fight, everyone finally regrouped.

"How are you all?" Lin Sheng exhaled a breath of turbid air and said.

"These monsters can't do much to me, brother," Lin Xing wiped black blood from his mouth and said. "But can these monsters not be killed?"

"These Fogman probably only have harmful levels, but their numbers are overwhelming," Xu Xiaoyou said, still looking rather displeased, glancing around.

The surrounding monsters continued to flood in, their sharp cries filling everyone's ears. As far as the eye could see, the pale tide was about to engulf the small area where they stood.

She looked at Tang Xin again. The latter's face grew even paler; she had just unlocked a new team auxiliary ability in the recent battle. It was a resonance skill of the Water Mage and Starry Singer, , greatly enhancing everyone's constitution and recovery speed within a hundred meters centered on the girl, and 15% of all wounds transferred to the girl herself.

Without a doubt, maintaining such an ability for a long time was an enormous burden on Tang Xin both mentally and physically. Observing her condition, it seemed she might lose consciousness and faint at any moment.

If she loses consciousness, the newly stabilized battle situation might instantly collapse.

Should Tang Xin be asked to use ? Xu Xiaoyou pondered inwardly.

This ability was Tang Xin's most overpowered skill — an immensely strong team enhancing ability. Once used, it could instantly turn the tide of battle. She had warned the girl not to reveal this trump card unless necessary.hat Tang Xin's sea of consciousness was undoubtedly tumultuous, vast beyond common imagination.

Her evaluation of Tang Xin's value soared by several levels.

"Over there..." Tang Xin's somewhat hoarse voice drew everyone's attention.

She pointed into the distance, where beside an off-road vehicle, Chen San looked extremely disheveled. His white collared shirt was almost torn completely by blood, revealing a cyan pattern tattooed on his body; a terrifying Cyan Flood Dragon seemed to stretch from his shoulder to most of his chest, glowing brighter and clearer as his body temperature increased.

Chen San's glasses were shattered, losing his prior composed appearance, showing his raw courage! He was like an enraged Vajra, holding a flamethrower high, a conical fire serpent baring its fangs, forcing all nearby monsters to retreat.

"Come on, you bastards!" Chen San roared.

He was a one-man army, fighting bloodily. Vast swathes of monsters emitted sharp, sorrowful cries in the flames, recoiling back, their skin curling, blackening, and oil sizzling.

Until the flamethrower in his hands ran out of fuel, in a moment of bewilderment, those watching noticed a trace of despair on his face as the surging monsters were about to engulf his solitary silhouette.

"Let's charge over there!" Xu Xiaoyou shouted, raised her blade, and rushed into the monster horde.

"Let's go, brother. The four-eyed guy can't hold on any longer!" Lin Xing also proposed.

Lin Sheng hesitated for a moment, then resolutely said: "Let's move."

"I'll clear the path. Lin Xing, don't let those monsters get close to her!"

With a shout, Lin Sheng's muscles swelled, his whole body enlarging by a circle, wielding his large blade with the force of thunder, charging into the monster horde to clear a path, unstoppable!

Lin Xing quickly reached Tang Xin's side, swiftly dealing with a few Fogman, and said: "Let's go!"

Tang Xin nodded and quickly followed.

The four of them fought a bloody path through the tide of monsters, charging towards the dawn!
