Godslayer: You get two at the start, Supreme Divine Ruins.

Chapter 358 Rescue of the Fishing Village

Lin Xiao lightly tapped his finger in the air, and countless threads of fate, like serpents, spread out from his fingertip and quickly stretched into the distant void.

Those threads of fate weave through the void, as if searching for something, carrying an invisible force that penetrates the barriers of space.

Following the thread of fate, Lin Xiao's figure traversed the void at an extreme speed.

His gaze was as cold as a knife, staring straight ahead, as if it could pierce through layers of void and see the small fishing village hidden in the darkness.

His figure was like a streak of light, cutting through the endless darkness, carrying an unparalleled pressure as he rushed straight towards the fishing village.

Meanwhile, in the small fishing village, the members of the Masked Squad are embroiled in an unprecedented and arduous battle.

The sky above the fishing village was shrouded in a scarlet moon. The moonlight, as if carrying some eerie magic, stained the entire village in a bloody hue.

The air was thick with a fishy smell, as if every breath carried the nauseating pollution.

The village houses were dilapidated, and the streets were littered with broken stones and decaying vegetation, as if the land had been completely corrupted by some evil force.

“Captain… these villagers… have completely gone mad!” Rose of the Masked Squad said through gritted teeth.

Her mask was half broken, revealing half of her pale face, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, clearly indicating that she was exhausted.

She held a short knife in her hand, the blade stained with black blood, clearly having been through countless battles.

"Hold on! We can't fall here!" Wang Mian said in a deep voice. His mask was still intact, but his clothes were already somewhat tattered, and the long sword in his hand was trembling slightly.

His gaze swept over the surrounding villagers, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him. He knew these villagers were beyond saving, but he was also powerless to do anything about them.

Around them were countless villagers corrupted by the Crimson Moon. Their eyes were bloodshot, their faces contorted, and they emitted low, hissing roars, as if they had lost their minds.

Although their movements were slow, they seemed to be immortal, possessing the bizarre regenerative abilities of Cthulhu, and each of them was like a monster capable of smashing the ground with a single punch, their numbers seemingly endless.

“These villagers… are no longer human…” Moon Demon murmured. He held a short knife in his hand, the blade stained with black blood, clearly the result of countless battles. His eyes gradually turned bloodshot, as if corrupted by some power.

"Watch out!" Tianping suddenly shouted, his figure flashing as he blocked Rose's path.

A contaminated villager suddenly lunged at Rose, its sharp nails almost piercing her throat.

With a sudden swing of his spear, Wang Mian severed the villager's head, causing black blood to spurt out.

"Captain... how much longer can we hold on?" Rose's voice trembled slightly, clearly nearing its limit. Her eyes gradually turned bloodshot, as if she might lose her mind at any moment.

Wang Mian didn't answer. His gaze swept over the surrounding villagers, and a sense of powerlessness welled up inside him. He knew that these villagers were beyond saving, but he was also helpless against them.

“We can’t give up… Commander Zuo will definitely find a way to save us…” Wang Mian said in a low voice, his voice filled with determination.

However, his heart was heavy. He knew that although Zuo Qing's power was great, he was probably powerless against this strange pollution.

Just then, the moonlight of the red moon suddenly became even more intense, as if carrying some kind of eerie magic, and rushed straight towards the members of the Masked Squad.

"No...this moonlight...!" The Moon Demon suddenly clutched his head, letting out a painful roar. His eyes gradually turned scarlet, as if being corrupted by some kind of power.

"Moon Demon! Hold on!" Wang Mian rushed forward, trying to pull Moon Demon back, but he himself felt a strange power eroding his mind.

"Captain...I...I can't control myself..." Rose's voice was filled with despair, and her eyes gradually turned bloodshot, as if she was about to lose her mind at any moment.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in Wang Mian's heart. He knew they could no longer hold on. The corruption of the Crimson Moon was eroding their minds, driving them step by step insane.

Wang Mian gritted his teeth, and a time ring suddenly appeared in his hand, connecting the two ends. Time around them immediately stopped. Wang Mian took out a rope from somewhere, tied up the entire Masked Squad, and carried them away quickly.

When Rose came to her senses, they were already in a dark and damp cave. Beside her were Tianping and Yuegui, who were tied up like rice dumplings with bloodshot eyes.

"Om-"

Rose turned to look outside the cave. In the distance, a time ring, with its beginning and end connected, was spinning in the sky. White light spread outwards from the ring, resetting everything.

Rose's skin crawled, her pupils constricted, and her voice trembled: "Captain! Are we going to die?"

Wang's face was extremely ugly, but the speed at which the ring reset everything left him no time to think.

Whirlpool's eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was heavy: "Run! Run, Captain! Only you can outrun time! Then we will naturally return to your side!"

Wang Mian made a decision in an instant, and terrifying power of time surged from within him.

King's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Hurry! Hurry!!!"

As Rose gazed at the approaching white light of the time reset, a figure unconsciously surfaced in her mind. From the initial misunderstanding between the teams to the point where she could no longer catch up, she murmured softly, her voice filled with despair.

"Lin Xiao, where are you..."

"I heard someone misses me?"

Just then, a dazzling light suddenly descended from the sky, heading straight for the red moon. Wherever the light passed, the moonlight was completely dispelled, and the sky over the entire fishing village was clear again.

"Masked Squad, I'm here." Lin Xiao's voice echoed through the fishing village like thunder, carrying an undeniable authority.

His figure suddenly appeared above the fishing village, holding the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Lotus in his hand. Boundless vitality and power of creation surged from the lotus heart, instantly dispelling the pollution of the red moon.

"Lin Xiao!" Wang Mian was stunned for a moment, then a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen a savior.

Lin Xiao's gaze was as cold as a knife as he swept over the villagers and the masked squad below. His tone was icy: "The pollution of the Red Moon... dares to corrupt the people of my Great Xia. They are courting death."

He raised his hand and waved it, instantly unleashing the power of the Creation Lotus, transforming it into countless dazzling rays of light that shot straight towards the corrupted villagers. Wherever the light passed, these villagers, who should have died decades ago, vanished completely.

"Congeal!"

Lin Xiao let out a low shout, and the light in his palm suddenly contracted, transforming into a giant blue lotus that merged into the bodies of the Masked Squad.

As the blue lotus entered their bodies, the members of the Masked Squad were suddenly jolted. The corruption of the Crimson Moon was completely dispelled, and their minds were cleared again.

"Lin Xiao! Thank you!" Wang Mian's voice was tinged with gratitude, and his eyes shone with determination.

Rose's cheeks flushed crimson. Lin Xiao had heard what she just said and even responded to her, which meant...
