Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 203

“Fei Fei, are you cold? Don’t push yourself. If you feel you can’t hold on, it’s okay to go back first. With Yao Yao here, it should be manageable,” Ye Tian Xie asked gently while holding Su Fei Fei’s cold hand.

Su Fei Fei’s Spirit stat was 75, and the healing amount for a beginner healing spell is calculated as Spirit × 2. Only at Level 30 could she learn the intermediate healing spell, which heals for Spirit × 3. Adding the doubling effect of the Rainbow Bracelet, her current healing capability was: 75 × 2 × 2 = 300, meaning she could restore 300 health every five seconds.

On the other hand, Yao Yao’s magic attack wasn’t as strong as Fei Fei’s, but her Mystic Spirit Healing could restore 580 health in one cast. Combined with the Mystic Spirit Recovery, which could restore 30% of health every 10 seconds, her overall healing ability was more than double that of Su Fei Fei’s—even with the Rainbow Bracelet.

However, Su Fei Fei’s presence was still crucial. Yao Yao’s exceptional healing just managed to keep Ye Tian Xie’s constantly declining health stable. But if he were struck, the situation could become dire, and that’s when Su Fei Fei’s healing came into play.

As Ye Tian Xie affectionately held Su Fei Fei’s hand, his expression softened, and his voice was full of genuine concern. Zuo Po Jun finally confirmed—Ye Tian Xie was serious this time.

Sigh…Zuo Po Jun let out a long breath silently. This matter could be discussed with Lao San (the third brother), but should it be brought up to the Big Sister? And if it were, what would the consequences be?

“I… I’m fine,” Su Fei Fei replied stubbornly. Having grown up in luxury, she had never endured the kind of suffering brought on by such extreme cold. After a brief silence, she took a few light breaths and looked into Ye Tian Xie’s eyes. “Tian Xie, at least let me stay with you to complete this mission… Because, after all, this is our first… time fighting side by side. Hehe…”

Zuo Po Jun: “…”

Su Fei Fei’s radiant smile warmed Ye Tian Xie, easing the chill within him. He nodded softly and let out a gentle “Mm.”

The Ice Bone Abyss felt endlessly long. Anyone who ventured here would think so, as every moment felt like a torturous eternity.

After several minutes, the relentless cold was nearing the trio’s limits, but the end of the Ice Bone Abyss was still nowhere in sight. In their increasingly blurred vision, a row of snowy figures appeared once again.

It was six snow wolves, standing in a line and completely blocking the path ahead.

The three focused their minds as much as possible. Ye Tian Xie instructed, “Po Jun, get ready… same strategy as before.”

“Got it,” Zuo Po Jun replied. He vigorously moved his hands to ensure he wouldn’t make any mistakes in the range or distance when using Mass Taunt. Then, he charged forward on horseback.

With precise execution, Zuo Po Jun’s Mass Taunt once again drew the attention of all six snow wolves. He quickly turned his horse around and bolted, grinning as he made a slightly awkward victory gesture toward Ye Tian Xie.

Ye Tian Xie let out a breath of relief as he reached the rear of the snow wolves, preparing to take them down one by one using the same method as before.

A normal attack followed by Dragon Fissure Slash brought down the first snow wolf.

However, just as he prepared to unleash the second Dragon Fissure Slash, an unusual sound came from behind. Despite the freezing environment, Ye Tian Xie’s senses remained sharp. He quickly turned around, only to see six more snow-white wolves darting out from behind an ice mound. Two charged toward him, while the other four rushed in Su Fei Fei’s direction.

“Po Jun!!” Ye Tian Xie shouted in alarm, trying to maintain his composure as he yelled at Zuo Po Jun.

“Damn it… Second Brother, my Mass Taunt is on a ten-second cooldown—I can’t use it yet! Second Brother, go protect Sister Fei Fei first!” Zuo Po Jun, also realizing the crisis, was equally horrified. With Su Fei Fei’s fragile health, even a single hit from a snow wolf could kill her instantly. Though panicked, Zuo Po Jun kept his focus, not daring to stop, as halting would certainly lead to his own death under the wolves’ claws.

If not for his mount, Ye Tian Xie could have used Dragon Shadow Strike to dash to Su Fei Fei’s side. But the White Dragon Horse, being a non-combat mount, couldn’t assist with the execution of the skill. Left with no other choice, Ye Tian Xie urged the White Dragon Horse to sprint as fast as possible. As long as he could reach Su Fei Fei, he could activate Evil Dragon’s Soul to shield her. Even if they had to retreat in failure again today, he would never allow Su Fei Fei to perish under the claws of snow wolves.

“Fei Fei, run!” Ye Tian Xie shouted desperately.

Yet, even with the White Dragon Horse’s speed, it was clearly too late. Seeing the approaching snow wolves, Su Fei Fei’s face turned pale with fear. The combined shock and terror froze her in place, rendering her unable to move a single step, let alone escape.

Watching helplessly as he failed to reach Su Fei Fei in time, Ye Tian Xie’s heart clenched in despair. At that moment, Yao Yao, who had been standing atop the White Dragon Horse, abruptly stopped her healing. Her petite body, leaving behind a trail of white light, darted straight toward Su Fei Fei.

Yao Yao’s base movement speed was nearly twice that of Ye Tian Xie—180!

Bang!!

Yao Yao’s small body collided with the snow wolf that had just lunged at Su Fei Fei. The wolf’s momentum faltered briefly, but Yao Yao took the brunt of the attack in Su Fei Fei’s place. The wolf’s claws slashed her tiny body, instantly depleting more than half of her health.

“Yao Yao!” Ye Tian Xie cried out. Calculating the distance, he leaped forcefully from the horse’s back, activating Dragon Shadow Strike mid-air. Angling downward in a fierce stab, he finally reached Su Fei Fei’s side. But at that moment, two more snow wolves closed in on Su Fei Fei—one from the front and the other from the right.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Tian Xie would have swiftly grabbed Su Fei Fei and leaped away. But his body, numbed and stiffened by the freezing cold, refused to cooperate. Instead, he used his body to block the wolf charging from the front, leaving him powerless to defend against the one coming from the right…

A priest is an indispensable presence on the battlefield, yet also the most vulnerable soul of protection. While they protect others, they must first be fortified with strong defenses themselves.

And the one who blocked the other snow wolf… was still Yao Yao.

The two attacks from the snow wolves came barely a second apart, leaving Yao Yao no time to heal herself. Yet, she still charged toward the wolf attacking from the right. Without any offensive abilities, Yao Yao could only use her body to intercept the blow. It was an instinctive act to protect Su Fei Fei because she was the one her master wanted to shield.

What greeted her was another strike from the wolf’s claws. Without suspense, her health dropped completely to zero.

“Yao Yao!”

Before her consciousness faded, she heard the overlapping cries of Ye Tian Xie and Su Fei Fei.

I am the Mystic Spirit Snow Fox. I was born in a magical place, and even after millions of years, I still don’t know who gave birth to me or for what purpose.

I was born with immense power. No matter how severe the injury, I could fully recover in an instant. I learned early on that although I lacked offensive abilities and might not win battles, I could never lose. As long as I willed it, I could never die.

Though I could not win, my power could help my companions achieve victory. With me around, my companions would never fall, and they would gain even greater strength. But back then, those so-called 『companions』 were not my true friends. I was simply born in the same place, happened to encounter them, and thus became one of their group.

It was because of my presence that the undefeated Dragon Clan was utterly defeated by us. When we forced the dragons to the brink of extinction, the mighty Dragon God sacrificed all of its power and life force to seal me in a terrifying place. In that transparent world, I watched as my companions were annihilated under the dragons’ counterattack. I felt neither urgency nor sadness for them because they were not my true friends.

What I mourned… was my own fate.

The Dragon God’s power was far inferior to mine. When I was finally about to break free of the Dragon God’s Stone, I discovered that every generation of Dragon Gods would infuse new dragon power into the stone as its strength waned. My power could not overcome the endless generations of Dragon Gods…

And so, in despair, I was sealed for seventy million years.

Seventy million years of captivity and power erosion reduced my strength from its peak to its weakest point… barely enough to sustain my life and consciousness.

They all called me Mystic Fox.

But now I have a new name—Yao Yao.

I love this name. I love it so much.

Because this name was given to me by my master. He was the one who freed me from seventy million years of despair. I remember every word he spoke and every action he took for my sake. He showed me what it means to feel.

So, I willingly formed a Soul Blood Pact with him, becoming his eternal pet… and I have never regretted it.

But now… am I truly about to die?

I am so weak now… but once, I was the Mystic Fox, feared even by the Dragon God. How could I… die under the claws of a lowly snow wolf?

Where has my power gone…?

Please, come back… just a little is enough… At least let me have the strength to protect my master… Truly, just a little is enough…

Yao Yao’s struck body drew a perfect arc through the air as it fell, crossing the vast memories of seventy million years that flashed through her mind. Time seemed to slow to a crawl, the surroundings grew deathly silent, and her falling body descended gently, like a feather nearing the ground.

At that moment, a white light burst from Yao Yao’s body. A violent surge of power swept outward from her, centered on her small figure, forcing all the nearby snow wolves to retreat.

Within the white light, Yao Yao’s falling body halted, suspended mid-air. And in Ye Tian Xie’s ears, a series of shocking system prompts rang out:
