The fatal blow was successfully resolved by the tenacious insects in front of it. Although Mantismon was furious, it was of no avail.

Its body had been severely damaged, and its previously mighty momentum was gradually fading. Even maintaining flight became difficult, and it finally had to fall exhaustedly into a deep pit on the ground.

Li Ming and others did not take the opportunity to pursue, instead, they retracted their domain and flew higher into the sky.

Because they were indeed exhausted and could no longer launch a powerful attack.

However, this temporary truce is undoubtedly beneficial to them.

Mantis Devilmon was seriously injured and it was extremely difficult for him to recover in the regular world, but the five of them could rely on Yunshan's "Spring Blossoms" which consumed less energy to slowly heal their wounds.

At this time, no one spoke. Except for Xingmei who was on guard around, the other four were taking the time to recover from their injuries.

After a few minutes of silence, Cecily was the first to break the silence.

She turned her head, her eyes wandering over the four people beside her, and said in a calm tone: "Yunshan, please help me treat my injuries, and then you can go back. I want to kill this demon beast alone."

Upon hearing this, except for Li Ming, whose expression did not change, the other three were all horrified.

"Cecily, even though it looks weak now, don't forget that it is an L8 demon after all. It will be more dangerous if it keeps fighting!" Dongmen Qiansha was the first to raise the question.

Xing Mei also frowned. She first glanced at Li Ming next to her, and seeing that he had no reaction, she said, "Even if you want to fuse the chaotic energy, you don't have to rush. You can proceed steadily."

"I don't agree either." Yun Shan stated her attitude directly, "This is too dangerous. Just like what this demon beast did to you just now, you might not even have time to react, let alone escape back to the headquarters."

"I'm not going to die in vain. Can you please give me some trust?" Cecily smiled helplessly. "Besides, most of the damage this demon beast suffered was caused by me. I'm not as weak as you think."

Yun Shan immediately retorted, "You were able to launch the attack without any scruples because we were there to assist you, especially Li Ming's timely warning."

"That's right. If the captain wasn't here, we wouldn't be able to attack Devimon so confidently." Dongmen Qiansha added.

Cecily smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat speechless.

Indeed, due to Li Ming's cheating ability, she never really felt the pressure of life and death in battle.

But she knew very well that without the determination and courage to risk her life, without the pressure of being on the brink of life and death, how could she hope to successfully integrate the chaotic energy?

Seeing that Cecily still had no intention of giving up, Yunshan couldn't help but touch Li Ming beside her and said, "Li Ming, as the captain, shouldn't you say something?"

Xingmei and Dongmen Qiansha's eyes simultaneously focused on Li Ming.

At this time, their persuasion may have limited influence, but if Li Ming raises objections, Cecily will definitely think long and hard.

Li Ming's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was lost in thought.

After a moment, he stared at Cecily with his eyes sharp and asked in a deep voice: "How sure are you about this?"

"It's hard to say, maybe fifty-fifty." Cecily smiled calmly and said in a relaxed manner.

"Are you really determined to do this?" Li Ming asked again.

Without hesitation, Cecily replied, “I’m absolutely sure.”

"In that case..." Li Ming nodded slightly, "Yunshan, help Cecily heal her injuries, and then we'll go back."

The other three people all had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They thought Li Ming would persuade Zhong Xili to stop, but they didn't expect him to agree so easily.

Despite her doubts, Yunshan still converted all the little energy she had just recovered into healing power and injected it into Cecily's body.

She watched the other party's injuries heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and couldn't help but ask: "Li Ming, is this really okay? Isn't it too risky?"

Li Ming sighed and spoke slowly, "If you want to fuse the chaotic energy, such a risk is inevitable. Otherwise, the chance of success is basically zero."

Cecily, who had regained her vitality, took a deep breath, then turned to the people next to her and said, "Okay, you can go back now. I can't waste any more time. After all, Mantis Devilmon is also recovering from his injuries at the moment."

Xingmei, Dongmen Qiansha and Yunshan all stood there quietly, their worried eyes all focused on Li Ming, as if waiting for him to make the final decision.

However, Li Ming did not show any intention of dissuading them. He just said in a deep voice: "Cecily has made up her mind. The only thing we can do now is to pray for her and hope that she can return triumphantly. Don't waste time, go back!"

After saying this, his figure flashed slightly, and in an instant he disappeared without a trace.

The three were stunned. They didn't expect Li Ming to leave so decisively.

They looked at Cecily, still with some hesitation in their eyes.

Yunshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Cecily, how about I stay and help you?"

“No need.” Cecily waved her hand. “The fusion of chaotic energy requires tremendous pressure as a catalyst. If you were present, it would make me feel at ease, but it would not help the fusion of chaotic energy.”

Things had come to this point, and Yunshan didn't know what to say anymore.

She glanced at Xingmei and Dongmen Qiansha, and finally had no choice but to communicate with the system and return to the team headquarters.

At the same time, they also decided to find Li Ming to find out why he so easily agreed to let Cecily risk her life.

However, when the three returned to the team headquarters, they did not see Li Ming.

Xingmei seemed to suddenly think of something and hurried to the information center to inquire about Li Ming's current location.

But what he learned was that he was still in the northern polar region, 8,235 kilometers away from his headquarters.

Yun Shan reacted immediately and exclaimed: "Li Ming used the 'Vaporization' ability to become invisible. He didn't come back at all!"

“Hehe…” Dongmen Qiansha chuckled, “I knew it. How could the captain really dare to let Cecily risk her life? Sure enough, he secretly stayed.”

"This guy didn't even tell us in advance, making us worry for nothing." Yunshan muttered to herself, but despite this, the expression on her face was obviously much more relaxed.

Xingmei looked thoughtful; she did not completely agree with Yunshan's complaints.

If Li Ming informed them in advance and they accidentally revealed their true identity, it would probably arouse Cecily's suspicion.

This would be of no benefit to Cecily or them.
