Lu Xiao's mood was icy and heavy. Based on past experience, once he weathered a wave of Return Nest, at least it wouldn't relapse again in the short term. He never thought it would flare up again so soon.
It seemed the interval between subsequent Return Nest outbreaks was getting shorter and shorter, even beyond what he had imagined.
This was an even worse sign.
He had wanted to help Shen Tang carry out her plan, but now he might not even be able to hold on for that long.
Shen Tang felt his breathing grow heavier and instantly grew anxious. Nothing mattered more than his body. "Ah Xiao, if you really can't take it, let's pull out first—"
A gigantic Mutant Beast suddenly dove down from above the clouds.
Shen Tang's body reacted faster than her brain. In an instant, an ice wall condensed above the two of them.
The Sea Beast slammed hard into the ice wall. Ice shards flew, and countless cracks spread across the entire wall.
