In the Blood Prison Island Forest, Kalina tightly grasped the reins of the toucan and kept giving orders to speed up.

"Hurry up! Faster! You don't want to be torn into pieces by Dragonite!"

“Hey!!”

The toucan trembled all over when it heard that, and as it let out a sharp cry, its wings covered with blue feathers almost left an afterimage.

The slightly fishy and salty sea breeze made it impossible for Karina to open her eyes, but she still looked back frequently, fearing that she would see the orange figure.

As priestess of the Church of Shadows, Karina, like Morde, is well aware of Dragonite's destructive power.

And she was not as optimistic as Mold, thinking that there was only one Dragonite by Ryan's side.

You have to know that Ryan is the Dragon Lord who has conquered the entire Dragonite clan, and he also has a blood feud with the Shadow Church.

Now that he has finally caught a chance for revenge, how could he possibly bring only a Dragonite with him!
No one really thinks that Ryan, who has never been defeated since taking over the territory and has repeatedly disrupted the plans of their Shadow Church, would underestimate the enemy, right?
If Ryan was really so easy to deal with, he wouldn't have become such a thorn in the side of the Shadow Church.

So the moment Karina saw the Dragonite, she knew they were in great danger. No one could guarantee how many Dragonites Ryan had brought this time.

With her current strength, she might be able to escape if facing one Dragonite, but if there is one more Dragonite, she will have to leave it to fate.

So Karina turned around and ran without saying a word, not daring to stop for a moment.

As for what happens to Mold and Cliff, that is none of her business. She can barely protect herself, so why would she care about the life or death of these two people?

The only person she was concerned about now was Li Xiang on the island. That was why she didn't let the toucan fly towards the shore, but flew towards the inside of the island - she wanted to take Li Xiang away with her!

Although Mold's words had a significant impact on her and made her intend to completely bury those memories, she was ultimately unable to make up her mind and still had some attachment to Li Xiang.

What's more, the situation she is facing now is too similar to her previous experience. Both of them encountered strong enemies during the trial, but the enemy Ryan is far more powerful than those trial-takers.

Even so, Karina didn't want to see Li Xiang repeat the same mistake and die on this Blood Prison Island. Even if Li Xiang was just a substitute, she would collapse when she saw this scene!
So Karina would rather risk her life to find Li Xiang and take him away from this Blood Prison Island, as a way to atone for her past sins.

However, even if she could successfully rescue Li Xiang, she would not let Li Xiang join the Shadow Church, but would put him on an inhabited island and bury those memories from then on.

It's time to wake up from her dream.

Karina's fingertips almost dug into the leather of the reins, her eyes filled with sadness and determination.

She bit her tongue and forced herself to concentrate, then lowered her head and looked around for Li Xiang.

Under her command, the gulls lowered their altitude and glided close to the towering trees.

As time passed, Karina became more and more anxious. She didn't know how long that idiot Mold could delay, but she was very clear about Dragonite's speed.

If Ryan sent Dragonite to capture her, she would soon hear dragon roars, and she really didn't have much time left!
Finally, when the toucan glided over a mangrove forest, she saw the familiar figure.

Li Xiang also noticed her and was waving at her.

Karina breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the toucan to land.

The toucan gull first folded its wings and dived downward, and then flapped its wings to slow down when it was about to land.

Without waiting for it to steady itself, Karina jumped off the bird's back, walked quickly to Li Xiang, and asked with a frown:
"Are you going to the shore? Didn't I remind you that it's best not to be curious on this island? You are clearly seeking death!"

Li Xiang didn't seem to expect to be blamed by Karina, and his originally excited expression turned a little awkward.

He scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry, I heard the sound coming from the shore, and I thought you had an accident, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Karina interrupted him and said, "Even if we encounter an accident, what can you do? Will you bury us with you?"

Li Xiang was suddenly speechless. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He looked a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Karina sighed and said, "Forget it. You made the right choice by accident. It saved a lot of time."

After that, Karina grabbed Li Xiang's wrist and pulled him towards the big-mouthed gull:

"Follow me quickly, the enemy will catch up soon!"

Li Xiang stumbled a few steps as she dragged him. He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Enemy? Where did the enemy come from?"

"Where are we going? Isn't the Blood Hell Trial over yet?"

Karina responded eagerly: "I don't have time to explain to you. Hurry up and ride on the gull. It will be too late if we don't leave now!"

"But."

Li Xiang was about to open his mouth to speak when he was interrupted by Karina.

"No buts. Weren't you quite decisive before? Why are you so hesitant now?"

Facing Karina's suspicious gaze, Li Xiang had to swallow back the words on his lips. He couldn't say that he was deliberately delaying time.

In the past, when he was watching TV dramas and reading novels, he hated the plots where the characters were facing a life-and-death crisis but still wasted time, asked questions non-stop, and said things like "if we go, we go together".

However, in order to implement the plan smoothly, he had to do this and ask questions like a fool.

"I just want to know what kind of enemy could force you to flee."

Karina said impatiently: "You won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, the other party can easily destroy all the members of the Shadow Church on the island, including me!"

Li Xiang stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, and refused to move forward even though Karina dragged him.

"What are you doing? Stop wasting time! Otherwise we will all die on this island!" Karina said angrily.

Facing Karina's anger, Li Xiang said calmly:

"If a strong enemy really attacks, bringing me along will only delay your escape."

"So you should go by yourself and leave me on this island."

When Karina heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then said in an even more annoyed tone:

"Impossible! I will never leave you on this island, absolutely not!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't leave, I'll break your legs and tie you to the gull!"

Seeing Karina pulling out the whip, Li wanted to know if the other party could really do what she said, so he had to carry Zorua to the front of the seagull.

The gull looked at the humans and monsters in front of it and couldn't help but let out a whine. It was just a weak, pitiful and helpless gull. It could only carry one person on weekdays, but now it had to carry two people and two monsters. It really couldn't do it!

Looking at the shivering gull, Karina swung the whip violently, causing a loud bang in the air.

"Don't act pitiful in front of me. Normally, when you see a orca, it uses its mouth to measure the size of the orca, trying to swallow it. Now you are unwilling to take two people with you. Don't force me to make you into a roasted bird!"

When the toucan heard the sound of the whip, it immediately closed its mouth and stopped calling.

"Who told you to shut up? Open your mouth so we can put Zoroa in!" Karina ordered unhappily.

The toucan opened its mouth obediently after hearing this, but Zoroya was unwilling to sit in it, fearing that he would be eaten by the toucan.

"It's such a hassle. You might as well throw it away to save weight." Karina said with a dissatisfied look on her face.

Although Zoroa is extremely rare, it is nothing compared to their lives.

When Soraya heard that Karina was going to throw it away, he quickly grabbed Li Xiang's clothes and looked at Li Xiang pitifully, his big watery eyes full of pleading.

Li Xiang silently gave Soraya a thumbs up in his heart. This little guy had unintentionally delayed a lot of time.

He reached out and rubbed Soraya's head, then raised his head and said to Karina:
"You've seen it before. If it hadn't stuck with me, I would have died in the hands of those trial-takers. So I couldn't have abandoned it."

"Then why are you standing there like an idiot? Put it in the gull's mouth!" Karina urged, turning her head to look at the shore from time to time.

"Okay." Li Xiang knew that any further delay might arouse Karina's suspicion, so he prepared to put Zoroya into the mouth of the toucan first.

As a result, just as he handed Zoroa to the mouth of the gull, he heard a faint dragon roar in his ears.

He was delighted in his heart, but pretended to be confused on the surface, and asked Karina who also heard the dragon's roar:
"Lady Karina, did you hear any strange noises?"

Karina said with a sullen face: "What do you think? I'm not deaf!"

"That's good. Thanks to you, none of us can escape!"

Li Xiang continued to ask: "Do you mean that this sound was made by the enemy's monster?"

Karina remained silent and nodded with a deathly pale face.

Li Xiang continued his performance: "Then why do you say you can't escape? This voice sounds like it is still some distance away from us. You can definitely escape by riding on a seagull!"

Karina smiled bitterly and said, "I can't run away. This sound is a dragon roar, which means that the monster chasing me is most likely a Dragonite. This natural disaster monster is not only powerful, but also flies much faster than ordinary monsters."

"With the speed of the black-billed gull, it's impossible to escape its pursuit. I can't escape. Maybe this is fate."

She raised her head and looked up at the sky, as if she was lost in memory again: "I should have died on Blood Prison Island, but he helped me get out of Blood Prison Island by exchanging his own life."

"But my body left Blood Prison Island, but my soul was trapped on that island, suffering from painful torture day and night."

"Now I can finally be free. Perhaps dying on Blood Prison Island is my destiny."

At this point, Karina seemed to have let go of something, and said to Li Xiang with a relaxed look:

"Go ahead. Their target should be only me. They won't make things difficult for a captured trial participant like you."

Li Xiang shook his head and asked softly: "Since they won't hurt me, why did you come to me?"

Karina was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yeah, you won't be in any danger, why would I come to you?"

Without waiting for Li Xiang to speak, Karina answered herself: "Maybe I just wanted to make up for my regrets. I didn't save you, but myself who was trapped on that island."

"It's a pity that you are not him after all, and I will never be free, so dying on this island is a good thing for me. At least I won't be tortured anymore."

After that, Karina smiled at Li Xiang and said, "Okay, hurry up and leave. It will be too late if you don't leave now. They will definitely get suspicious when they see you standing with a priest like me."

Li Xiang looked at the smile on Karina's face, and the corners of his mouth also slightly raised: "No, I won't leave!"

"I said I wanted to repay you for saving my life. How can I just leave like that?"

Karina sneered when she heard this: "Should I say you are stupid, or should I praise you for being naive?"

"What life-saving grace? I don't believe you are so smart that you can't see that I only took you aboard to make up the number of people for the trial."

"And the reason I take such good care of you is simply because you are like the person in my memory."

"So don't be so self-touched here. I don't know why you approached me, but you can see the current situation. I'm already a dead man. You don't have to act anymore. Get out of here!"

After hearing this, Li Xiang didn't say much, but just muttered a few words to Soraya in his arms.

After receiving a positive answer from Soraya, he raised his head and said to Karina in a firm tone:
"I don't understand what you are saying, but from the distance you have been showing me these past two days, I can tell that you may have some misunderstanding about me."

"But none of this matters. I'm too lazy to explain. I just want to get you out!"

Karina smiled disdainfully: "Save me? Even I can't escape from Dragonite's pursuit, why would you save me? With just two weak monsters like you?"

"That's right, just rely on them!" Li Xiang said to Soraya in his arms: "Sraya, it's up to you!"

"Shuo la!"

Soraya jumped out of Li Xiang's arms, rolled to the ground, and a purple-black light burst out from his body.

When the light faded, another "Karina" appeared in front of Li Xiang and the others, with a sly smile on her lips.

Karina looked at the person in front of her who looked almost exactly like her, her eyes full of surprise.

Although she had seen Zoroark transform into other humans and monsters, she was still a little surprised when she saw Zoroark transform into her own appearance with her own eyes.

"How about it? Even you can't tell the real from the fake?" Li Xiang asked proudly.

Karina nodded slightly, and then looked at Li Xiang with complicated eyes: "You don't want to..."

"Yes, it's just as you thought. Zoroark and I will help you lead the enemy away, and then..."

Li Xiang was about to explain his plan when he was interrupted by Karina:

"No! Don't even think about it! I will never allow you to do this!" (End of this chapter)
