The female Gu Master's body was like a broken doll, snapped at the waist. Her upper body lay on the ground, her lower body bent at an angle, her buttocks touching the snow, and her feet pointing towards the sky.
In the distance, Fang Yuan also fell from mid-air.
He crashed through the treetops, breaking many branches before landing in the snow.
He agilely rolled over and stood up from the snow. Because he had just activated the Jade Skin Gu, apart from a dull ache in his back, he was completely unharmed.
The battle over there fell silent for a moment, and then Jiao San's angry roar came from that direction: "Fang Yuan, didn't you say you could still hold on?!"
Fang Yuan sneered inwardly. Suddenly, his body swayed, and he nearly fell. He steadied himself by grabbing a tree trunk.
He pretended to have sprained his ankle and be unable to walk, while his gaze swept the surroundings, checking for any other Gu Masters.
Faced with the beast tide, the Gu Masters were all fighting desperately. They couldn't even take care of themselves, let alone have the leisure to come over here and observe Fang Yuan. Although he hadn't spotted any other Gu Masters in the vicinity, Fang Yuan still chose to act cautiously.
From over there came the fierce sound of battle again.
Clearly, the Wild Boar King had already broken free and was once again locked in a struggle with the Red Rock Python.
Fang Yuan moved over step by step, a look of anxiety on his face. He stumbled to the ground several times, getting dirt, grass clippings, and remnants of snow all over his body, looking utterly disheveled.
Finally, he returned to the edge of the battlefield.
On the battlefield, three people and a pig were locked in a struggle.
The Red Rock Python's body was tightly coiled around the Wild Boar King's torso and its two hind legs.
The Wild Boar King's two hind legs could only thrash about wildly. This caused it to sometimes roll on the ground, and other times struggle to its feet, charging randomly led by its two front legs.
It had more wounds on its body. The boiling boar's blood had already stained the ground red.
When Gu Yue Kong Jing, who was the farthest away, saw Fang Yuan coming, he immediately shouted: "Fang Yuan, you bastard! You're the one who killed Hua Xin!"
"I… I didn't mean to. But I really couldn't hold on any longer," Fang Yuan shouted back.
"Fuck! If you couldn't hold on, why did you guarantee it so confidently just now! If you can't do it, say you can't! Saying shit like that will get people killed!" Gu Yue Kong Jing opened his eyes wide in anger. If he wasn't fighting, he would really go over and slap Fang Yuan twice right now.
"I'm sorry… It won't happen again," Fang Yuan quickly replied.
"Fang Yuan, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Jiao San from the other side roared, feeling the immense pressure. The dying Wild Boar King was frantic, and the Red Rock Python was covered in cracks.
"Kong Jing! Don't pay attention to Fang Yuan. Hurry up and take out the Blade Scale Net!" Jiao San saw that the Red Rock Python seemed unable to hold on any longer. Cold sweat beading on his forehead, he hurriedly yelled.
"Yes!" Kong Jing hurriedly took out the Big Belly Frog, activated his Primeval Essence, and had it spit out a wire mesh.
This wire mesh was studded with sharp spikes and gleaming blades.
"Fang Yuan, grab the other end! Let's rush over together and cover the Wild Boar King!" Kong Jing shouted.
"But I twisted my ankle! I can't walk!" Fang Yuan said with a worried look as he limped over.
"Useless!" Kong Jing had no choice but to do it himself. Dragging the Blade Scale Net with both hands, he flung it towards the Wild Boar King.
Caught by the Blade Scale Net, the Wild Boar King immediately let out a miserable howl as blood gushed out.
It already sensed the coming of death and struggled even more violently. However, the fiercer its struggles became, the tighter the Blade Scale Net wrapped around it, worsening its injuries.
The Red Rock Python, due to its stony body, wasn't too badly hurt by the Blade Scale Net.
"What a waste of this hide!" A trace of pain flashed in Jiao San's eyes.
"Finally done…" Kong Jing let out a long breath of stale air.
Just at this moment, Fang Yuan shouted, "Let me help you!"
Shing, shing, shing, shing, shing!
Several Moonblades flew out, striking the Blade Scale Net and cutting the wires.
Amidst the Wild Boar King's violent struggles, the breach was instantly torn wide, shredding the Blade Scale Net into several pieces. The Wild Boar King broke free.
For a moment!
Kong Jing's eyes went wide as he stared dumbfounded.
"I… what the hell…" The other female Gu Master cast aside her lady-like image and let out a loud curse.
"I… I seem to have messed up. I was trying to help!" Fang Yuan called out, his voice sounding very sincere and innocent.
Jiao San dodged the Wild Boar King's charge. Rolling on the ground, he hadn't even gotten up yet when he roared, "Fang Yuan! You idiot! Look at what you've done! You are a pig of a teammate!!!"
"Team Leader, you have to believe me. I really didn't mean to," Fang Yuan defended himself.
"You shut up! Don't make any more moves from now on, just stay out of the way!" Jiao San yelled as he rolled to dodge the Wild Boar King's stomp.
Fang Yuan sneered inwardly, but followed the instruction and retreated a few dozen steps.
"All of you, fall back!" Jiao San let out a loud harrumph and began to reveal his true trump card. From his nostrils, he exhaled two wisps of yellow poisonous gas.
The toxic gas continuously streamed out from his nostrils, growing more and more, gradually converging into a cloud of yellow poison.
The figures of the Wild Boar King and Jiao San were faintly visible outside the poisonous cloud.
Kong Jing, the female Gu Master, and Fang Yuan all retreated outside the yellow cloud to watch.
Fang Yuan said to the remaining female Gu Master, "Treat my foot injury, will you? I twisted my ankle!"
