Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

puff!

Like a red-hot needle piercing butter!

The edge of the flying arrow fragment was as sharp as a knife! It pierced Liu Yueli's neck, which was tilted sideways in pain and defenseless!

It pierced right between her carotid artery and trachea, the skin that was stretched taut and bulging with veins due to her fierce struggle!

Under the skin are large blood vessels pulsating violently!

"Ugh!" The groan that had been blocked in his throat instantly broke through the barrier! It became a completely inhuman, sharp sound, like a hard object piercing flesh! The sharp and direct pain in his neck instantly overwhelmed the dull pain from the arrow in his leg and shoulder wound! It was like a hot iron rod piercing his neck!

Cold wood fragments! With a burnt smell! Deep into the skin!

But what swept over even faster than the pain was the strong smell rising from the fragments!

A burnt smell! Rich! Pure! It was the smell of dead ash left after wood was instantly carbonized by extremely high temperatures!

The thick smell of blood and rust! Dark! Gloomy! Like a rusty sword pulled from the mud of a thousand-year-old ancient battlefield, stained with septic blood!

There was also an extremely subtle, yet impossible to ignore, smell of sulfur and scorched earth that stubbornly permeated through the burnt and bloody rust!

It was the last substance that dissipated when the remaining golden-red star deep in the arrow shaft collapsed!

Sulfur... scorched earth...

This thought exploded in her burning mind like an explosion! The poisonous wound on her right shoulder, sealed with red tooth mineral powder! The sulfurous smell emanating from the burning sealant...

A sharp pain in the neck! Burning! Iron blood! Sulfur!

Several intense sensations surged like an uncontrolled torrent, instantly breaking through the dam of her shaky consciousness! A chaotic yet incredibly clear, impactful hallucination suddenly seized her!

A boundless expanse of bloody, scorched earth, licked by sulphurous flames! Countless broken weapons, rusted like dry bones, pierced the scorched earth! Thick smoke hung from the sky like a black shroud! At the heart of this infernal scene.

An ancient blade, buried deep in the bloody mud! Covered with twisted animal-like carvings! Deep within the grooves, dark red rust, like black blood dried for eons, condensed! The scent of sulfur emanated from it...

This extremely chaotic, yet realistic, illusion caused by the severe pain in her neck and the stimulation of multiple breaths even made her seem to "smell" the rusty smell of the knife in the picture!

I felt the coldness and bloody murderous intent that spanned time and was deposited deep within the beast-shaped patterns!

"Ugh... ho ho..." Her body was tense as an iron bow, trembling violently due to the severe pain in her neck and the overwhelming sensory storm, and her dying eyeballs rolled back painfully in their sockets.

Just at the moment when she suddenly tilted her head upwards due to severe pain and her throat was forced to straighten and stretch!

A tiny, dark golden particle, smaller than a needle tip and mixed with the charred wood fragments of the arrow shaft and the solidified blood fragments of Changbai Mountain, pierced the edge of the wound on the side of her neck. It was suddenly rushed in by the squeezing of the muscles and the rushing blood!

Like a cold poisonous insect drilling deep into the blood!

Ice Valley Cave.

It was as if Changbaishan had swallowed a piece of red-hot sulfur iron slag deep in his throat, and the burning and suffocating feeling was mixed with the soul-trembling rusty smell.

He was twitching violently. The heaviness and coldness of the animal-patterned iron block in his arms, and the repeated scraping of its sharp edges on the wound on his jaw, became the only clear coordinate in the chaotic hell.

Each scrape brought down a bit of blurry flesh and blood fragments and the black and red rust that was solidified on them.

at this time!

In the cold vortex stirred up by the water deep in the cracks of the rocks, there were a few extremely faint particles of dust mixed with burnt, sulfur, and the remaining deathly aura of burnt animal bones.

Like ashes from another world.

Quietly rolled over his mouth and nose!

Just as the wound on Liu Yueli's neck burst open, the flames in the cellar and the bloody vortex raised up the ashes!

The dust mixed with the smell of sulfur just covered up the rusty iron smell that rushed straight into my mind!

The two auras collided violently deep in his burning throat!

A chaotic image, reeking of burning metal, suddenly formed in his torn mind—a crypt ablaze with flames! A broken weapon transformed amidst flames and blood! The beastly patterns burned and twisted into a howling sound! Sulfur flames greedily licked the dark red rust oozing from deep within the patterns...

boom!

This scene almost overlapped with reality! Chang Baishan suddenly lowered his head! His gaze was fixed on the surface of the animal-patterned iron block in his arms.

The twisted beast shape covered in his blood and sweat!

It was as if the lines were melting in a raging fire! He felt like he was being struck by an invisible hammer! The rusty smell in his throat was instantly ignited by the smell of sulfur and fire! Explosion!

“Oh… uh… uhhhh!!”

A roar inhuman, infused with the dual aura of hell, erupted from his throat! His body thrashed frantically within the cracks of the stone! His head, reckless and determined to crush bone spurs and rust, slammed fiercely into the iron block in his arms!

Amidst the splashing blood, a few grains of rust and a trace of dark red crystal powder that fell from the depths of the animal pattern floated up quietly.

Deep in the oil cellar.

The severe pain in Liu Yueli's neck had not yet subsided. The cold foreign body sensation brought by the dark gold particles that penetrated into her blood was like a tiny ice thorn condensed in her blood.

His consciousness was on the verge of being annihilated, and only the smell of burnt blood mixed with the smell of sulfur lingered from the wound on the side of his neck.

suddenly!

Chang Baishan's soul-shattering roar in the stone cave, wrapped in the smell of sulfur and iron and the vibration of desperate struggle, seemed to come through the earth veins and the void, passing through the sea of ​​fire and thick smoke.

It crashed straight into Liu Yueli's chaotic consciousness, which was torn apart by severe pain and sensory storms!

A broken spear branded with animal patterns! A man leaned his head against it in the icy abyss!

A desperate collision! The smell of sulfur and rust filled the air! The scene was so clear! It even overwhelmed the pain in my neck!

She shuddered at the man's tragic and desperate impact in this hallucination! The pain was like empathy! The last instinct of survival made her spasmodic hand clench the broken arrow tightly.

Use up every bit of strength that's left!

The sharp end of the arrow shaft stabbed fiercely into the fragile skin in front of his throat, which was stiff and slightly raised due to the hallucination!

Arrow! Approaching my skin! The cold metal pierces the illusion!

Just at the moment when the broken arrow pierced the skin!

A few tiny particles of iron filings with the smell of animal rust and the residual heat of sulfur.

The objects blown away by the impact of Changbai Mountain, the sulfur, scorched earth, and smoke scattered in the fire in the cellar, and the residue of burning incendiary oil, were all in the tiny airflow driven by Liu Yueli's intense heartbeat.

In front of her neck, above the skin where the sharp tip of the arrow pierced and was about to bleed.

Silent intersection.

Double blood resonance.

The beast shapes at both ends of the abyss were imprinted in the dust of rust and sulfur, completing their first bloody contact through the air.
