Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Yun Yufei was filled with despair, wondering why so many monsters still existed. However, despite his despair, he remained calm and quickly summoned all his protective talismans.

Under his control, his protective talisman flowed slowly like water, leaving a beautiful arc in the air, and finally arranged neatly on the city wall. With his current level of mental strength, being able to do this was already the limit, and he could not accurately protect every person.

Over twenty protective talismans were placed side by side on the city wall, triggering their protective effects simultaneously. The scene was incredibly spectacular. Although these monsters were only at the Spiritual level, judging by the intensity of their attacks, only peak Spiritual-level monsters could unleash such formidable power.

Red rain of corrosion fell in large drops, dripping onto the protective array Yun Yufei had formed with protective talismans. Each drop added a few cracks to the shield, and as time went on, the cracks became more and more numerous.

Finally, this round of attacks was blocked, and Yun Yufei's star power had been drained once again. He knelt helplessly on the ground, his body staggering as if he would collapse at any moment. Due to the overuse of the talisman, he suffered a strong backlash, and his body was in great pain. "Wow!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the city wall red. This blood was not only his own, but also that of the soldiers defending the city.

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield. The ground outside the city was littered with the corpses of demons, while the walls lay littered with the remains of humans, reduced to mere bones. These men might not have fought to protect the people within, but they had fought to the bitter end, protecting their families. Every sacrifice deserved remembrance and admiration.

He realized that he had now exhausted the power of the stars. Although he still had some strength, he could no longer cast powerful spells or skills. However, he did not give up hope, but quickly thought of another method - the explosive talisman.

He struggled to his feet, his body trembling slightly from exhaustion. He anxiously checked the number of explosive talismans he carried. These were his last weapons, the key to their victory over the demon. After a quick count, he found only thirty remaining. This number gave him some relief, but it also reminded him that the situation remained dire.

He took a deep breath, his eyes as firm as steel, as if he had made a mortal resolve. He knew the next battle would be even more difficult, and the demons might be even more powerful, but he was willing to sacrifice his own life in exchange for the chance for more people to survive.

He closed his eyes, unsure what he was thinking. Perhaps he was reminiscing about the good old days, or perhaps he was contemplating how to best utilize these explosive talismans. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was now sharp, like a sword unsheathed, brimming with fighting spirit and determination.

Without a word, Yun Yufei leaped from the wall and ran towards the woods. He didn't know if there would be more powerful demons to come, but he couldn't care less. Now, he could only fight to the death, using his courage and wisdom to fight for that glimmer of hope.

Yun Yufei flashed past the demon corpses on the ground and rushed towards the mysterious and hidden forest like a flash of lightning. He was filled with curiosity and determination: "I want to see what can spew such a deadly and corrosive liquid?"

After some effort, he finally crossed the battlefield filled with thick liquid and stepped into the quiet woods.

Pushing aside the dense grass, he was stunned by the sight before him. On a vast expanse of land, dozens of toad-like creatures quietly perched. These toads were enormous, covered in a hard, bright red skin that emitted a pungent, sour odor.

"Could this be... the Red Acid Frog?" Yun Yufei's eyes revealed a mixture of surprise and relief. He had heard his master mention this rare demon in class. The Red Acid Frog's rarity wasn't because it was difficult to deal with, but because its blood was an extremely precious and expensive talisman material. Although it could spray a highly corrosive liquid, it took a long time to recharge after each attack.

Facing the scene before him, Yun Yufei couldn't help but feel a tinge of luck. If he had faced a more powerful demon instead of the Red Sour Kid, he might not have been able to handle it so easily. However, now that he found himself facing the relatively easy-to-deal-with Red Sour Kid, this undoubtedly gave him some hope.

Yun Yufei gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination. He knew this battle wouldn't be easy, but he was ready for any challenge. He took a deep breath, took a firm step, and walked towards the group of red-sour kids.

At this moment, they had just vomited out the corrosive liquid and were now just a group of lambs to be slaughtered, with no ability to fight back!

He took out the dagger he carried with him and walked towards the group of toads with a determined look. However, surprisingly, when these toads saw Yun Yufei approaching with a dagger in hand, they did not run away or hide, as if they had already foreseen their upcoming fate.

Yun Yufei hesitated over whether to slaughter them all, but when he thought of his teammates and the brave soldiers who had sacrificed their lives, he stopped hesitating. He pulled a bottle from his space ring and began to kill them one by one, collecting their blood. The process was extremely brutal, and every blow sent blood splattering, staining the ground red.

Yun Yufei's hands trembled. Faced with such a bloody scene, he was filled with inner conflict and struggle. He couldn't help but wonder, "How could I do such a cruel thing?" But then he thought of his wounded and dead comrades. Their figures floated before his eyes, their voices echoed in his ears. If he didn't take action, how could he be worthy of their sacrifice? Wouldn't that be a betrayal?

Thinking of this, Yun Yufei's doubts gradually dissipated. He realized that only in this way could he truly seek justice for his injured and sacrificed comrades. His eyes became firm, and his movements became more decisive. Every knife strike was filled with determination and strength.

When they reached the last frog, it was actually shaking! It was obviously afraid, but the other frogs did not shake at all. Some frogs even did not make a sound when they died.

Yun Yufei was curious. Why was the toad so scared? Did it know something? Suddenly, the toad spoke, its voice tearful. "Please... please let me go. Please, I'm not with them. I didn't hurt anyone. Please, please let me go."

Yun Yufei was stunned. He had never thought that this toad could actually speak and even beg for mercy. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you? Why are you here?"
