Chirp——!
A sharp, piercing sound echoed loudly.
Like a sonic wave, it spread layer by layer, reverberating on the battlefield.
Ji Yaohua, who was closest, desperately covered his ears. This was his instinctive reaction, even though he had already blocked his hearing and, following Mu Qingge’s instructions, protected his head with Spiritual Power.
However, when the sound erupted, he still felt as if his head was being pricked by needles, causing excruciating pain.
His face turned pale, and he fell directly to the ground, his expression twisted in agony.
Behind him, Mu Qingge and the other two were not faring much better. The sound’s influence was extensive, and just like Ji Yaohua, they felt as if their heads were pierced by countless needles.
Fortunately, the creature only emitted one sound before returning to its own ranks.
As the sound gradually dissipated, the protective barrier Ji Yaohua formed around his head shattered with a ’crack’ and he lost consciousness.
Mu Qingge and the others shook their heads vigorously; they were some distance away from Ji Yaohua, so the impact they suffered was not as severe.
Moreover, there were some obstructions nearby, which seemed to have blocked some of the sonic attack.
Mu Qingge recovered quickly, and the discomfort had vanished. Yet when she looked at the two beside her, their faces were still very pale, and they appeared in poor condition. Looking at Ji Yaohua, who had fallen and was no longer conscious, his condition was uncertain.
She swiftly dashed out, quickly approaching Ji Yaohua. Having observed Ji Yaohua’s earlier movements, she did not conceal herself and soon reached his side.
Mu Qingge checked his breathing and took his pulse before bringing him back.
When she brought Ji Yaohua back, Ying Ze and Xi Qianxue slowly opened their eyes.
"How is he?" Ying Ze immediately asked when he saw Ji Yaohua being rescued by Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge replied, "Fortunately, we took precautionary measures earlier. He’s just a bit concussed and fainted. He’ll be fine once he wakes up. How about you two?"
Ying Ze shook his head slowly.
Xi Qianxue propped up her head with one hand and said to Mu Qingge, "The Spiritual Power barrier I used to protect my head was shattered, but thankfully it didn’t injure my head. Now it just feels like a splitting headache."
Ying Ze nodded in agreement, indicating that his condition was the same as Xi Qianxue’s.
Then, they both looked at Mu Qingge in surprise.
Why were they experiencing splitting headaches and feeling exhausted, while Mu Qingge seemed unaffected? They had noticed her being affected by the sound just moments ago.
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Mu Qingge also frowned slightly.
She had indeed been affected by the sound, but she recovered very quickly. Moreover, the Spiritual Power she used to protect her head did not dissipate.
’Could it be because I studied the Divine Strategy Middle Volume?’ Mu Qingge speculated in her heart.
Mu Qingge pursed her lips and fell into her thoughts.
While waiting for Ji Yaohua to wake up, she organized her thoughts, while Xi Qianxue and Ying Ze seized the time to sit and meditate, recovering their bodies.
The green-skinned creatures did not notice their presence and continued with their tasks.
That sound earlier seemed to be just a sweep.
Because of the disturbance caused by Ji Yaohua, they became alert and released a wide-range attack with no fixed target.
...
The cold wind swept through the Ancient Battlefield, blowing over the bodies of the four quietly lurking in the dark.
Ji Yaohua furrowed his brows and slowly regained consciousness.
"You’re awake." Mu Qingge’s voice transmitted into his mind, instantly making him more awake.
He got up from the ground, sat down, looked at Mu Qingge, then at Xi Qianxue and Ying Ze who were meditating, and finally clutched his head, frowning, "Damn it! It hurts so much!"
Mu Qingge took out an Elixir and handed it to him, "This Elixir has a nourishing effect. Although it won’t cure you instantly, it can alleviate your discomfort."
Ji Yaohua took the Elixir from her hand without hesitation and popped it into his mouth.
After taking it, a gentle stream, warm and comforting, instantly spread to his head. As Mu Qingge said, while not curing his ailment, it did relieve his headache, making him feel much better.
"What happened after I passed out?" Ji Yaohua asked.
Mu Qingge shook her head slowly, "I brought you back, and we all rested. Those green-skinned creatures didn’t search around but continued their tasks."
Ji Yaohua let out a sigh of relief and asked again, "Did you discover anything else?"
