Chapter 1169 - 1172: Agreement (4)

The cold temperature billowed.

Even though they were all staying within Nalan's protective circle, it couldn't fully protect them from the cold temperature.

Thankfully, most of them had already reached rank 9 and their physical capabilities were extremely strong.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive even for a second.

"Tsk." Pena clicked his tongue and had already summoned the last rank 9 magic beasts' skeleton to protect himself.

His body had indeed been modified to enhance his mana and also lost some human capabilities. But at the core, he's still a human being and this cold temperature was extremely unfriendly for them.

Pena could only try his best to withstand this cold temperature as much as possible because he was not entirely sure that it would be possible for him to survive otherwise.

Beside Pena, Dina was also frowning.

She's a demonic magician and most magicians' physical bodies were not very strong. It was a bit difficult for her to resist the cold temperature on her own, but not to the point where she couldn't do anything.

After all, she's still a rank 9.

But Dina silently casted fire magic spell to protect herself. Otherwise, it would truly feel unbearable.

Riya was also frowning slightly.

Her strong physical strength came from 'cheating' with her runes and it was not something that she truly trained on her own. This made it a bit difficult for Riya to withstand the cold temperature fully.

Just as Riya frowned slightly, Samuel had already stepped forward and pulled Riya into a hug.

Riya: ???

The other two: "…"

They silently looked at Nalan who was standing at the forefront and only needed to watch that rank 9 Frozen Golden Crow in the distance.

For some reason, they felt a hint of envy.

Because this meant that Nalan didn't have to experience the feeling of being fed dog food at the most unfortunate time!

Damn it!

Why can't Riya and Samuel be more normal?!

Dina was silently cursing in her mind, feeling that if there was a chance in the future, she really needed to find a way to stay separated from these two people or it would become more and more unbearable.

Tsk!

Pena was shaking his head slightly and could feel that Samuel and Riya truly have a good relationship.

He thought that it would be difficult for these returnees to have a good relationship with each other.

Because they have lost too much.

And the things that happened in Afirer Kingdom would always remain a mystery unless they admitted to it themselves. After all, they basically didn't know each other when they were still in Afirer Kingdom.

"I'm fine." Riya patted Samuel's arm helplessly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Even though their relationship was indeed close, but did he have to show this in front of others so blatantly?

She could tell that Dina and Pena were staring in their direction intently.

It was obvious that these two people were not very happy with then showing off like this and Riya was also a bit embarrassed.

"Just ignore them." Samuel didn't care too much about the two people who were glaring at him from the back.

Anyway, it was more important for him to spend more time with Riya than anything else.

Those magic beasts have already taken too much time and Samuel would rather have Riya feel comfortable than caring about others.

"You…" Riya was helpless, but it was indeed warmer inside Samuel's embrace.

She snuggled closer to Samuel while looking at the rank 9 Frozen Golden Crow that came towards them.

The barrier was getting weaker.

This was something that Riya had noticed ever since the arrival of the other returnees.

It was obvious that whatever or whoever was maintaining the shield would retract it the moment they all arrived.

Because it was no longer necessary.

But this also meant that they would have no other choice but to face those powerful magic beasts on their own. Without the protective shield, nothing will stop them from approaching them and possibly kill them.

Riya's expression turned a bit solemn.

She knew very well that now that they were no longer on the Green Planet, the rank 9 and above magic beasts will no longer be so stupid.

Just looking at the areas that have been turned into ice and the snow billowing, Riya could tell that this magic beast should be declaring its presence in front of them.

*Screech*

The rank 9 Frozen Golden Crow finally broke through the barrier and after sweeping the useless magic beasts, its eyes locked onto the ants at the front. There was a disgusting and tempting smell going from these creatures.

And the only thing that the rank 9 Frozen Golden Crow could think was to destroy them and eat them.

Greed appeared within its eyes.

It was also hungry.

These ants seemed to be the best nourishment for itself, so the rank 9 Frozen Golden Crow directly opened its beak and countless icicles formed around its body.

"Can you move?" Samuel's expression changed and he quickly asked Nalan.

This was their first time cooperating with each other and they barely knew the other party's abilities.

"Can!" Nalan nodded and then said, "The center of the shield is me and you just have to stay around me."

"Wait, bring us along!" Murin raised his voice outside the shield, somewhat panicking. If Nalan chose not to protect him together, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Get in." Nalan frowned.

Even though their relationship with Murin and Ami were not very good, but Nalan knew that this was not the time for infighting.

The attack from the rank 9 Frozen Golden Crow would arrive soon.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless icicles crashed onto the shield and Nalan almost vomited blood from enduring the attack.

"My mana and aura is almost exhausted," Nalan said with a frown.

This is not good for him.

"In that case, we attack."
