Fang Yue was both afraid and angry, yet utterly helpless.

For the first time, he realized the insurmountable, terrifying chasm between a Black-rank mid-stage ghoul and a Black-rank initial-stage ghoul!

He could handle or even defeat almost every Black-rank initial-stage ghoul he encountered.

But this was the first Black-rank mid-stage ghoul he'd truly fought, and it was already teaching him a lesson! Moreover, the outcome… was certain death!

Fang Yue deeply regretted his actions and resolved to never be impulsive and reckless again!

Forget about testing the difference between [Houtian third-rate] and [Black-rank mid-stage].

Forget about being able to cut a [Black-rank mid-stage] ghoul.

To hell with it all!

If there's a next time, I'll never mess around unless I'm sure it's safe!

"Parchment, parchment, save me! Use your invincible Rain-rank ghoul strength to save me!!"

Fang Yue shouted in his mind, and the parchment directly popped out text from his brain.

[I am Fang Yue, I am about to die.]

[But I am not willing, I don't want to die yet!]

[Just as my heart was about to be crushed, things took a turn for the better.]

[That was the opportunity that Divine Physician An risked his life to create for me. I seized the opportunity and ran away!]

Divine Physician An?

Can Divine Physician An save me?

Fang Yue was stunned when he suddenly heard Divine Physician An roar.

"Yeye! Close your eyes!!"

Fang Yue looked over and saw a beam of fluorescent light flying towards him.

That was… the crystal waist ornament that Divine Physician An always wore around his waist for nighttime lighting!

The crystal flew over very quickly, leaving a fluorescent trail in the dark night, and smashed straight at the Gravity Ghoul.

*Boom!*

Without even turning its head, the Gravity Ghoul instantly applied a heavy pressure when the crystal waist ornament was about to hit it!

The crystal waist ornament's original straight flight path instantly turned perpendicular, landing and shattering with a *bang*.

Divine Physician An immediately let out a pained wail, and the shattered crystal waist ornament suddenly burst into a dazzling purple light.

When the purple light erupted, Fang Yue instantly felt the terrifying gravity that had been suppressing him, preventing him from moving, suddenly disappear.

Almost without thinking, Fang Yue retreated frantically, moving far away from the Gravity Ghoul.

Their eyes met in that instant, and the Gravity Ghoul immediately revealed a charming smile, exposing rows of white teeth—good lord, its teeth are so white, it's a pity it doesn't endorse toothpaste!

Fang Yue gritted his teeth, turned his head, and continued to run wildly.

With the speed boost, he was happy to discover that he could already see the shadows of the escort team ahead—they all seemed to be blocked outside Manshui Village, and no one had entered the village.

What's going on? Is Manshui Village not letting us in?

Fang Yue was furious, but when he thought about the Boss following behind him, he immediately lost his temper.

It was easy to foresee that if he rushed into Manshui Village with this tail, or even joined up with the escort team… the scene would be too beautiful to imagine.

In a word—that would be a massacre!

But if he didn't run towards Manshui Village, Fang Yue would almost certainly die!

"Silverstone! Parchment, I'll give you silverstone! Help me take action and kill this ghoul behind me!"

[Good, good, good, good, good!]

[But I haven't recovered much strength yet, and it takes time to absorb the power of silverstone.]

The parchment was very obedient at this time. As long as there was something to eat, it was very well-behaved.

"How long will it take?"

[At least ten minutes…]

"What the hell… what use are you!"
