It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 571 The last time

Seeing the lion-headed warrior kneeling on the ground and roaring, Feng Ling sensed something was wrong and quickly shouted to the tiger-headed worm, "Get down! Get down! Don't stick your head out!"

Then she hurriedly looked for a place to hide—but it was really difficult. Most of the sand dunes were only one or two meters high, enough to hide a person, but only enough to cover one leg if it was a dragon.

Feng Ling curled herself up in a circle, thinking she would hide as much as she could.

As the lion's roar continued, small, glowing flags, light gold in color and semi-transparent, appeared in the underground palace and floated in mid-air.

Feng Ling roughly counted more than twenty such small flags, scattered in all directions. Their positions seemed random. There was one flag directly in front of her and one flag diagonally behind her. Their specific purpose was currently unknown, but it was definitely not a good thing.

Will it explode?

As Feng Ling was guessing, the lion's roar suddenly stopped, and then endless yellow sand surged out from the lion-headed warrior's body!

The yellow sand coalesced into towering Persian heavy cavalry, charging towards the banner! It was as if a thousand horses were galloping endlessly, thundering and roaring!
The wind feather was instantly covered in sand! And it was sand moving at high speed!

Wave after wave of charges, wave after wave of thrusts! The wounds on his body were rapidly widened during the charge of the yellow sand cavalry, the newly congealed scabs were torn open, and blood gushed out like waterfalls!
What's worse, under such an onslaught, she couldn't even open her eyes, otherwise her eyeballs would feel like they were being rubbed by iron filings at high speed!

Feng Ling inserted all of her tentacles in front of her body, acting as a "sand barrier," and gritted her teeth to endure it.

A woman's screams reached my ears.

It didn't sound like a shooting star, which made Feng Ling feel a little disappointed.

This charge lasted for a full fifteen seconds. Wind Feather's tempered tentacles were covered in scratches, and the scales that had been washed away by the Yellow Sand Cavalry were all crooked and disordered. Some scales were even flipped open, revealing the bloody wounds underneath.

This is an area-of-effect skill. The damage isn't particularly high, but the attack range is extremely wide, and it can inflict additional damage on pre-existing injuries on the enemy.

Feng Ling felt a burning pain all over her body, but none of her injuries were fatal, so she remained lively and energetic.

Enraged by this, the lion-headed warrior raised his weapon and charged at Wind Feather once more!
Its leg injury had not healed, and after losing its speed advantage, it was like a spent arrow.

The serpent swung its tentacles, one steel blade piercing its throat, another its heart, while the remaining tentacles wantonly slashed at the lion-headed warrior's limbs—

This once majestic maze boss eventually turned into several scattered pieces, lying quietly on the yellow sand.

His angry eyes lost their luster, his once-wild mane turned ashen, and the weapons in his hands gradually turned to sand, transforming into the yellow sand itself along with the Boss's bones and flesh.

Cards are being extracted.

Feng Ling faintly heard the sound of thunder.

Rumble, rumble—

Each time the maze is breached, the weather changes drastically, but Feng Ling is currently in the underground palace and cannot see the rain outside.

The third-person perspective has been restored.

According to the storyline of this maze, the sandstorm surrounding the treasure vault originated from the curse of the maze boss. Now that the boss has been defeated, the sandstorm that was obstructing the view has naturally disappeared.

Feng Ling stepped forward happily and built a nest for the Maze Boss's card, hoping to hatch a high-attack-speed baby in the future.

The messenger dropped four cards, which Windfeather collected without hesitation and put into the Squirrel Card Pack.

It's a bit strange that I didn't see any Stitched Beast cards.

It's clearly a dead corpse, and there's no red dot in the third-person perspective, so why are there no cards?
Could the card have been destroyed during the heavy cavalry charge?
This is not impossible.

Based on Fengling's experience, cards are not indestructible. They will be damaged or disappear when exposed to extreme environments such as explosions or high temperatures. For example, last night, when the messenger used Doomsday Judgment at the General's Mansion, not a single card was found, and the inspection team got nothing.

The messenger's card wasn't damaged, perhaps because it was released after the charge. She didn't have time to think about it, because there was a red dot not far away, fleeing towards the passage.

Feng Ling thought it was a shooting star and immediately became playful.

The serpent leaped up and pounced on the sand pile near the red dot! Yellow sand flew everywhere!
The steel blade swiftly pierced the cracks in the floor tiles, blocking the path and preventing the opponent from escaping.

"Meteor! You're leaving without even saying goodbye? Where's your manners?" Feng Ling mocked with a laugh.

But when she saw the person behind the sand pile, she paused for a moment.

It wasn't a shooting star, it was a doctor.

The doctor stared in terror at the towering serpent, feeling as insignificant as an ant. Tears welled up uncontrollably; she had never been so afraid before.

Feng Ling noticed that the alien's leg had mostly recovered.

She clearly remembered that the Lord of the Labyrinth had severed the alien's two thighs at the root, but now, the alien's thighs had grown back bone and flesh, and even the kneecaps were faintly visible. She estimated that it wouldn't be long before the lower legs would also grow back.

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes and manipulated the tentacles to suspend above the doctor's body one by one. "Impressive, your self-healing ability is even stronger than mine... It seems that to kill you, I need to cut you into pieces to be safe."

The doctor's face turned deathly pale, and he was trembling uncontrollably.

She hoped someone would come to save her; she hoped a shooting star could save her!
“Shooting star…” The doctor’s lips trembled, his neck stiffly turned as he looked towards the passageway, “Shooting star!”

Feng Ling looked over suspiciously, but saw nothing.

But not seeing someone doesn't mean there's no one there.

Gargoyles can conceal their form. Now that the maze boss is dead and the passage gate is open, Meteor is very likely trying to escape now.

How do you pursue a goal that is not visible?
Feng Ling acted decisively, immediately lashing out her tentacles towards the passage! —They were just invisible, not nonexistent!

Dense steel blades slashed wildly inside and outside the passage!

The meteor's form tumbled out amidst splattered blood!

The claws swiftly seized the meteor, suspending it in mid-air. Feng Ling looked at the meteor with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to heal you. You've been using the little skeleton's body for too long."

The meteor was covered in blood.

Her severed arm had not yet healed, the maze boss's heavy cavalry charge had left her covered in wounds, and now she had been stabbed by Wind Feather's tentacles, and her stamina was almost at its limit.

She could have easily escaped through the passage, but the doctor called out, indicating Feng Ling's location.

Meteor lowered her eyes, looking at the doctor on the ground with a complicated expression.

She didn't know what the doctor's mindset was when he shouted that. Was it the instinct to survive? Or was it simply because he didn't want to see her live alone?
But she can't die.

She hasn't finished what she wanted to do yet.

Meteor's uninjured arm twitched slightly, and a golden glint appeared between his index and middle fingers.

The rare item, Golden Cicada, allows the user to shed their skin and escape death. It can be used 3 times.

She has used it twice already, once against Sirius and once to escape from the messenger, and now there is one last time.
