Chapter 437 Suddenly had a mouth stuffed
However, in Lin Xiyue's eyes, Earl and Li Si were inexplicably making all sorts of strange evasive maneuvers.
They dodged left and right, then twisted their bodies like dancers, and every step they took was unusually cautious, as if they were stepping not on solid ground, but on a minefield full of landmines.
The scene looked so ridiculous that Lin Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle.
But when her gaze shifted to the image displaying energy, her smile instantly froze on her face.
In that scene, Earl and Li Si's energy fluctuations were unusually obvious, but judging from the color of their energy, their energy was constantly dissipating.
This means that not only is their journey difficult, but Earl may have been injured because his energy is draining much faster than Li Si's.
Lin Xiyue stared wide-eyed at the person in the picture.
Earl's figure appeared exceptionally clear in her field of vision.
She noticed a prominent wound on Earl's lower abdomen, a gruesome gash deeply embedded in his body.
It was when Lin Xiyue saw it that she noticed that the particles that were originally floating freely in the air suddenly became unusually active, like hunting dogs that had smelled blood.
They charged straight at Earl's wound with astonishing speed, as if it were prey they had longed for.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiyue was startled, and a strong impulse surged within her. She almost wanted to rush out immediately to warn Earl and Li Si about this unusual situation.
However, just as she was about to take action, Li Si acted first.
It was clear that Li Si had sensed something, and he quickly said a few words to Earl.
Earl nodded slightly, and then Li Si reached out without hesitation and tightly covered the wound on Earl's waist.
The moment Li Si's hand touched the wound, a faint energy membrane suddenly appeared, completely covering Earl's wound.
This energy membrane acts like a transparent shield, temporarily isolating the outside air.
The particles that had been fiercely rushing toward the wound, after being blocked by the energy membrane, were like headless flies that had lost their way, and they flew around Earl's wound haphazardly for a while.
They seemed confused and bewildered by this sudden obstacle. After a while, they returned to their previous seemingly unconscious state of drifting and slowly dispersed.
"It seems that Li Si has already realized the existence of that thing, which is why he took such decisive action."
Lin Xiyue witnessed all of this and couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking this to herself, Lin Xiyue stopped in her tracks, which were about to step out of the protective shield.
Her gaze was fixed on Earl and Li Si, watching as they took nearly ten minutes to cover the mere few dozen meters from the moment they discovered the object to the moment they reached it.
Those ten minutes were exceptionally difficult.
The fierce fight between Meros and Fiber made no attempt to avoid Earl and his group; in fact, it could be said that they didn't even consider anyone else a threat.
Both sides had only each other in their eyes, and only a strong killing intent to kill the other.
However, even in this extremely dangerous energy battle arena, Earl and Philip actually withstood immense pressure and made their way to the center.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiyue saw Earl suddenly squat down and reach out without hesitation, as if he wanted to grab that mysterious thing.
At the same time, Li Si, who was standing opposite Earl, made the same move.
The two worked in perfect harmony, completely surrounding the thing and trapping it with nowhere to escape.
Just then, through the enlarged interface provided by the system, Lin Xiyue clearly saw that the thing, the moment it was grabbed by Earl, suddenly seemed to be greatly frightened and began to shake wildly.
When Earl felt the thing tremble, his heart tightened immediately, and he realized that something unusual might be going wrong.
So he reacted quickly, tightening his grip without hesitation, his fingers clamping down on the connection between the creature's feet and body like iron clamps.
Earl moved with lightning speed; his fingers seemed to possess infinite strength, gripping the object firmly and preventing it from escaping.
Then, Earl took a deep breath, used all his strength, and pulled hard, ripping the thing out of the ground.
This extraction was no easy feat; the part of the thing buried in the ground was unexpectedly long, and Earl had to pull at least two meters to completely pull it out.
With Earl's forceful tug, the thing was finally pulled completely out of the ground, revealing its full form.
Meanwhile, Li Si wasn't idle either. The moment Earl successfully grabbed the object, Li Si moved with the speed of a ghost.
One of his hands plunged into the ground with lightning speed, channeling energy to help Earl stop its escape, while his other hand held a faint purple light that flickered in and out of his hand, emanating a mysterious aura.
Just as Earl forcefully pulled the thing out, Li Si seized the opportunity and without hesitation slapped the purple light he was holding into the thing's body through the opening.
This series of movements was fluid and seamless, executed in one go, without the slightest hesitation or delay.
"Ugh—ahhh—ahhh—"
The moment the purple light was struck, the thing seemed to suffer immense pain and suddenly let out a bloodcurdling scream.
The scream was like a thunderclap, deafening, and even Lin Xiyue, who was some distance away, could hear it clearly.
[Wow, that's a really pitiful scream!]
Upon hearing this voice, the system seemed somewhat gloating, its tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"That does sound terrible, it must have been in a lot of pain!"
Lin Xiyue nodded in agreement.
"It seems that Li Si and the others have successfully captured what the child turned into. Quickly, can you check if the toxins in the air have decreased?"
Then, after regaining her senses, Lin Xiyue immediately realized the crux of the matter and quickly spoke to the system.
[Huh? Right, I'll check it right away.]
Upon hearing this, the system felt enlightened and immediately responded.
It quickly activated its own monitoring functions and began to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the surrounding air.
[It is indeed decreasing.]
[It seems this toxin cannot survive in the air for long; once the opening was blocked, the amount of toxin in the air immediately decreased.]
The system's voice rang in Lin Xiyue's mind, and its scan results brought her a surge of joy.
