It's weird. Why is she the only one who feels pain?

"Are you alright?" Gu Yi asked worriedly.

​​

"Emmm .. now it's okay," replied the girl.

"What happened Xie Lan?" asked Wan Li.

"I don't know," the girl mumbled.

"I can't approach the tower," she continued.

"The tower must be destroyed," a harsh sigh came from her mouth.

"Let us do it, Xie Lan. You wait here," Xue Ning said to the girl.

"But it's very dangerous. I don't want you to do it without me."

"Alright, wait here and see," said Wan Lie then.

Fu Xie Lan turned her head towards Gu Yi for a moment, the man only nodded.

"Hmm, fine. If you feel pain or something, get away as quickly as possible," Fu Xie Lan said in a nod to the three people standing nearby.

Wan Lie, Xue Ning, and Ju Xian looked at each other then nodded in unison.

Immediately they move toward the tower, spreading out, putting some distance from each other.

After getting into a position that felt just right, each of them gathered the mana in their body.

Xue Ning took out an arrow from her cosmic bag, then aimed at the snake skeleton inside the crystal ball at the top of the tower, right at the head. It seems blue mana fills the arrows.

While Wan Lie and Ju Xian attacked the tower wall repeatedly. Every time it hit the wall, the runes there gave off a faint glow.

It was not that easy to destroy the tower. Xue Ning's arrows hadn't even reached the tall tower and had already disappeared somewhere.

"Aww..." the girl screamed. An arrow stuck in her arm, the feeling of pain and pain made her moan in pain.

Seeing the arrow there, her brow furrowed. It was her arrow.

Whereas she was aiming for the skeleton of the snake's head, but how could the arrow that was released earlier get back and hit her arm?

Holding her breath, Xue Ning pulled out the thing and immediately fresh blood spurted out.

Tearing the cloth on the dress she was wearing, she then bandaged the wound to reduce or stop the bleeding.

Having done that, Xue Ning returned to aim the arrow a second time. But the result is the same.

Even the arrow she had just released. Somehow and from what direction, it suddenly reappeared and managed to hit her body.

Xue Ning then bandaged the wound in the same way as before. But this time, the girl didn't draw her arrow again.

As for Ju Xian and Wan Lie, no matter how hard they broke the tower wall, the result was still nothing. And in exchange, every attack they made would turn to their bodies.

Fu Xie Lan, who witnessed this panicked, wanting to prevent them, but how? While she could not approach the tower.

"Gu Yi, stop them," she said turning to the man.

"All right, Queen," he replied quickly and at that moment the man sped towards the three figures there.

However, before reaching the position of the three people, a barrier appeared from the ground, and in an instant, a dome-shaped barrier had already protected the tower and the surrounding area and it managed to lock Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning inside as well.

Gu Yi tried to break through many times but failed.

If only his strength was still at its peak like it used to be. Maybe just one hit and the barrier was gone.

While those who were confined around the tower decided to regroup. Each with wounds on their body.

Wan Lie's previous guess was correct, it was impossible to destroy the tower so easily.

Suddenly the ground around the tower shook.

"Careful!" Xue Ning shouted.

Something emerged from the ground.

"What's that?" murmured the girl.

Xue Ning and Ju Xian were taken aback, taking a step back while staring in horror at the figure in front of them.

It looks like a snake's skeleton, no, but indeed the creature was only a skeleton of a snake, its size was large and so tall, its body coiled around making it almost the same size as a tower.

The bones are white and look a little slimy, a fishy smell wafts out, red lightning flashed brightly on the head, staring intently at the three of them.

It is a living giant snake skeleton.

A rumble sounded, the creature's gigantic tail moved to blow everything in front of it.

Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning, the three of them jumped out of the way.

"Scatter," shouted Wan Lie.

"Xue Ning stays away from here," he said again.

Soon the girl looked for a place some distance away.

Wan Lie stretched his wings, trying to attack the creature from all directions.

The creature dodged while moving its tail, creating a very strong wind and blowing Wan Lie's body hard.

At the same time, its tail returned to hit the young man, wrapped around Wan Lie's body, and then flung him to the ground.

A rumble sounded, dust flew.

But it's not Wan Lie if he just stays silent, the young man gets up again and soars higher. Black smoke accompanied by flashes of lightning slowly filled his hand, moving towards the creature's head, but its tail skeleton again attacked him from behind, the youth's reflex dodged and landed on the creature's bones.

Very hard and a bit slippery. Immediately he moved his hand and tried to destroy the body of the creature he was stepping on.

As for Ju Xian, the young man suddenly jumped onto the creature's tail as he continued to chant, running on top of the snake skeleton very fast. on his footprints, gave off a faint glint and instantly exploded.

Footsteps followed by explosions. If one saw it, one might think that Ju Xian was running to avoid the explosion that kept following him without knowing that the explosion was the work of the young man himself.

The fight lasted a few minutes and the creature seemed to be getting stronger.

Explosions and crashes sounded in unison from Ju Xian and Wan Lie's fight against the strange creature.

BOOM...

Another explosion occurred, the trees around them had been razed to the ground. Wan Lie was getting more and more violent in attacking the creature, while Ju Xian was already starting to seem weak.

Xue Ning reflexively moved, the creature's tail almost hit her if she didn't dodge immediately.

Immediately long cracks instantly formed, as if the ground was split open by a giant ax.

Xue Ning's face is very pale at the sight.

Moving slightly away, the girl tried to aim at the creature's eyes.

Yes, with the hope of being able to help her two friends a little to overthrow the big creature.

Enduring the pain of the wounds on her arms and shoulders, slowly but surely the girl drew her bow.

WUSSSHHH...

The arrow missed the target and almost even hit Wan Lie who was standing there.

.

.

.

Using her normal vision, Fu Xie Lan saw the three of them move like they were fighting the air, very different when she used her eye abilities. The girl frowned.

How can she get there? The fight will have no end.

Because the being that the three people were dealing with was just an illusion.
