Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

Besna sat calmly in front of Lin Xueyin's barracks, her eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought. In a fleeting moment, all her sharp wit burst forth, only to be hidden back beneath her eyes the next second.

Ariel happily tidied up the charcoal that had been burned to black on the ground. She packed up the unusable pieces and threw them into a corner, while the recyclable pieces were packed up and put into the supply vehicle for later use.

Kalier and Kashaer were carrying a large bucket of hot water and hurrying towards Lin Xueyin's barracks to prevent their sister from catching a cold if the water got cold.

Kono washed all the used plates with clean water. The quietness around her made her feel uneasy, but she didn't know what to say or do. She could only look at the warriors and mages around her, as if that would make her feel at ease.

Finally, Lilia carefully checked the contents of the supply truck to see if there was anything that needed to be replenished. Although there was Lin Xueyin's package, everyone hoped to use as few of those supplies as possible and mostly relied on the food stored in the supply truck.

Busy as they went, time flew by quickly. Just as expected, Aria held her longsword, leaned against her shield, and kept watch. The next day, she could go into Lin Xueyin's carriage to rest.

As dusk fell and night deepened, people who had been busy all day gradually drifted off to sleep, even in this perilous place.

Of course, this was only part of it. Kno, dressed in thin clothes, emerged from his and Ariel's barracks and draped a red robe over Aria's back.

"What, aren't you going to bed yet? It's so late."

"I have trouble sleeping. What I saw today reminded me of some things from the past."

Her gaze drifted to the bright night sky, and she sat on the ground with her beautiful legs bent. "Ailiya, have you always been with the princess? What kind of person is she?"

"She's a good person. Ever since I met her, I've always thought she was amazing, but also very kind. Her kindness is so out of place in this world, and it makes people feel sorry for her."

Thinking back to what happened between her and me, I realized that we had almost come to blows. Perhaps it was because I wanted to atone for my sins that I decided I had to protect her kindness.

However, in the end, when faced with an increasingly powerful enemy, she was still powerless.

"Um, did I say something wrong?"

Seeing Aria's somewhat depressed expression, Kono felt uneasy, wondering if he had unintentionally offended her while speaking, causing her to show such a faint sadness.

"Haha, it's nothing, I just remembered some things that happened between me and Yukine before."

"Actually, I've heard a legend about this place, but I don't know how to tell the princess and the others."

"The legends about this place?" Aria looked at the girl in front of her with some surprise, not expecting her to talk about this at this time.

"Since it's just a legend, let's just treat it as a joke and not take it seriously."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I'll go rest then. Be careful too." With that, Cono got up to go back to his barracks, but was stopped by Aria.

"Tell me about it."

A fleeting sadness in her eyes made Aria feel a little sorry for her. Since it was just a legend, she would just let her listen to it as a story.

"Um, you want to hear it?"

Seeing Arya nod seriously, Cono knew that she definitely wanted to tell this legend as a story. However, the night was long, so there was no harm in telling it.

"Legend has it..."

Volume 9: The Demon Clan's Journey - Chapter 47: The Mysterious Annihilation Beast

Alone, with her eyes open, she watched the night turn until the first rays of sunlight appeared, finally allowing Aria to breathe a sigh of relief. She was so lucky to have gotten through the night so peacefully. She could go to Yukine's carriage and rest well for a day, and then feel Yukine's gentle comfort.

Ah... today will be another beautiful day...

The sudden, violent shaking of the earth made Aria feel uneasy. At this moment, she was helpless against the violent tremor. The violent shaking also caused her to gradually lose her balance. She could only use her longsword to plunge it into the ground to maintain her posture and prevent herself from falling to the ground.

The dull thud echoed into the barracks, sending shivers down the spines of those inside. The swaying forced them to hold onto the barracks for support, hoping to maintain their balance and avoid falling.

However, while holding onto the barracks, she was unaware that the barracks themselves had begun to loosen. With a scream, the entire barracks collapsed to the ground, tightly enveloping the girl inside.

Damn it! Aria saw Lin Xueyin tightly wrapped inside the barracks. She took a deep breath, preparing to go and help her out, but unexpectedly, a blinding light flashed out from within. The entire barracks was torn to shreds.

Lin Xueyin rushed out, and at that moment, the earth emitted a muffled and painful sound. A huge figure leaped out, its ferocious wolf head glaring fiercely at its enemy. Tiny drops of crystalline liquid dripped from its sharp fangs. As the wolf exhaled, the surrounding air seemed to drop by several degrees Celsius.

Is this a Frost Giant Wolf? Lin Xueyin stared in shock at the enormous, snow-white wolf in front of her, but the next second, she felt her worldview being turned upside down.

A shadow suddenly appeared behind the giant wolf, carrying a foul stench, and charged fiercely towards the position where Lin Xueyin was standing. At this moment, Aria, who had been on guard with her shield raised, quickly stepped in front of the shadow.

Bang...

The dull thud made everyone around instinctively cover their ears. The next instant, another black shadow shot out from behind the wolf. This time, however, it didn't pounce directly, but instead shouted out a black energy and quickly shot away.

A sacred barrier of light completely blocked the black energy attack, without even causing a ripple.

Three-headed monster? What the hell is this? When Lin Xueyin looked at the giant beast in front of her, she was also a little confused. What kind of monster is this? It has the body and head of an ice giant wolf, but there is a snake head on each side of its shoulder, constantly flicking its tongue at her in a provocative manner.

"roar....."

As if demonstrating against an enemy who had entered its territory, the Frost Giant Wolf let out an angry howl.

"careful...."

Besna suddenly felt a pang of fear. Before she could think further, she noticed a thin whip flying towards Lin Xueyin's side, striking the girl's shield heavily.

The immense force sent her staggering back several steps, nearly knocking her to the ground. This scene filled the demon king's guard commander with a profound sense of mockery, even a trampling of her dignity.

"Heavenly Star Breaking Army Fist..."

With a deafening sonic boom, Besna arrived in an instant, her gauntlets glowing with star-blue light, and slammed them down viciously onto the monster's head.

However, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, blocking the sure-kill punch with its slippery body, rendering the punch futile.

"Be careful."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Xueyin raised her hand and created a shield to protect Besna in the middle. At the same time, the opponent's attack also landed on the shield that had just been erected.

With a crisp bang, the hastily formed shield turned into specks of light and finally disappeared. Besna also took advantage of the force of the opponent's attack to retreat back to the ground.

The attack was actually blocked by the snake's head. Its soft body left her attack with no foothold, and she could only return empty-handed. Even some of the surface energy was absorbed by the hard scales.

"What kind of monster is this? I've heard of three-headed wolves, but what is this two-headed snake with a wolf's head?"

Lin Xueyin frowned deeply, completely unaware of what kind of monster she was facing. However, its ferocious appearance told her that this monster was an enemy, not a friend.

"This is probably the Annihilation Beast recorded in historical books."

"Huh? Annihilation Beast? What is that?"

Upon hearing Besna's words, Lin Xueyin hurriedly asked, "This kind of monster shouldn't even exist in this world! It completely disrupts the evolutionary chain of life. If this were on Earth, it would be condemned by scientists, the media, and righteous people."

"This is a forbidden technology. It is said to be a mixture of two or more high-level magical beasts to create mutated species. However, this technology has been banned by the Demon King. I can't believe that someone is still experimenting with it."

"Is this a test? This is clearly a success!" Lin Xueyin complained to Besna, who was constantly dodging enemy attacks, as she opened her shield to protect the non-combat personnel during their evacuation.

We know the Frost Giant Wolf's abilities, but what exactly are the other two snakes? And what is that black whip that just attacked us?

Lin Xueyin was somewhat confused. Faced with this unknown enemy, she didn't know what to do.

"Aria, you should take Ariel and the others and leave here quickly. We are about to have a big battle."

"Sister Xueyin, we're here to help you." Just as Kalier and Kashaer were about to make a move, they were stopped by a look from Lin Xueyin.

"You have other tasks to complete. Stay with your sister Arya and don't go out unnecessarily. Do you understand?"

"But...."

"Listen to me, Besna and I are more than enough here. We don't need you to come and help us anymore." This enemy is too dangerous, and Lin Xueyin doesn't want them to take any risks. Besides, she has other things for Kalier and the others to do.

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips, and the staff was already firmly gripped in his hand in a backhand motion. A flash of holy light flickered in his azure eyes, and then, a battle ensued...

Volume 9: The Demon Clan's Journey - Chapter 48: The Great Battle Against the Annihilated Beast

This bizarre annihilation beast, with the body of a giant frost wolf and two snake heads of unknown origin, made Lin Xueyin feel quite troubled, especially with the elusive black shadow whip that appeared and disappeared unpredictably, making it impossible to defend against.

"Your Highness, you should..."

"Besna, I am the Queen. Remember this: I am the Demon King's Queen. At a time like this, I cannot stand by and watch someone use forbidden technology to show off here. Moreover, I do not believe that this behemoth is truly invincible."

As a seasoned gamer, what monster haven't I fought, what demon haven't I defeated? As long as it drops the equipment I need, I'll just go and take it down. Whether it's a beauty or a beast.

Lin Xueyin, who was treating it as if she were playing a dungeon, raised the holy magic in her body to the highest level. She instantly unleashed the Holy Sword, drawing the giant wolf's attention to herself.

That's right, this is the legendary "healer tank," someone the main tank wants to kill, stealing aggro and then causing a wipe, and then having the audacity to harass the tank.

As expected, the Frost Giant Wolf turned its head towards Lin Xueyin, and the icy breath it exhaled rushed towards Lin Xueyin's position. Its two snake heads slumped softly on its shoulders, and its emotionless pupils were also fixed on the person who dared to ambush it.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Besna swiftly threw a punch at the annihilated beast, but the force was once again deflected by a snake head. At this moment, she saw the snake head spew out a foul-smelling black gas while Besna was still unsteady.

"Be careful, this is poisonous."

Before Lin Xueyin could remind her, Besna had already swiftly retreated from the enemy's attack range. They watched as the spot hit by the poison gas was corroded into a large crater. The two of them couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, they gained a deeper understanding of the giant wolf—well, it should be called a behemoth—and its attack power.

"Hiss hiss..."

Seeing that its attack had no effect, the snake head raised its head and let out a chilling sound. Its huge mouth opened again, forcing Lin Xueyin and the other person to separate and avoid the attack.

At this moment, the other snake head opened its huge mouth, and dark energy continued to accumulate. A dark thunderclap was finally launched in the direction Lin Xueyin was trying to escape, as the energy of the snake head gathered.

"princess...."

Lin Xueyin also sensed something was wrong. She raised her hand, and another golden light shot out from her hand, intertwining with the dark lightning before finally disappearing into nothingness.

Finally relieved, Besna gasped as she saw the ground riddled with holes from the venomous snake's head. This indiscriminate attack would have been a deadly weapon on the battlefield.

Lin Xueyin also noticed the pitted and uneven ground, and felt a chill in her heart. She knew that she absolutely could not let this huge annihilation beast continue, and she had to finish the battle quickly.

Therefore, she no longer intended to hold back. She gradually withdrew her previous Holy Priest abilities, and soon, Discipline Priest was online, with desperate prayers and hopeful hymns performed simultaneously.

Several buffs were applied to her, multiplying her abilities several times over. Lin Xueyin held the staff with the spearhead behind her back, her cold eyes fixed on the behemoth.

Sensing the threat of death emanating from the small girl before him, the wolf, now transformed into a beast, let out a fierce roar, its claws gripping the ground as it lunged at the woman.

Just as Lin Xueyin was about to counterattack, she felt another cold gust of wind coming from behind her, forcing her to use her shield to take the attack again.

However, because of this small delay, the giant claws of the Annihilation Beast were getting closer and closer to her, and Lin Xueyin had no choice but to raise her staff to block the giant wolf's attack.

The impact of the immense force instantly turned Lin Xueyin's pretty face pale, and a trace of blood-tinged taste appeared on her lips. She had been too overconfident; if she had used her strongest attack directly, she probably could have completely annihilated this Annihilation Beast.

However, it wasn't too late. Lin Xueyin knew that there wouldn't be any problems at this point. With a shout, she used her arms to push the giant wolf's claws aside.

The girl's return to freedom was not as smooth as she had imagined; the heads of two giant snakes had already opened their jaws, ready to devour their greatest enemy.

"Die..."

He stomped his foot and slammed his staff into the ground. A halo of holy light still appeared around him, causing the two snake heads to hiss and be pushed aside.

At this moment, Lin Xueyin and Besna were already locked in a fierce battle. However, deep in the dense forest, several people shrouded in black cloaks quietly observed the development of the battle.

"High Priest, are we just going to stand by and watch? If the Annihilation Beast kills that girl, it will likely incur the Demon King's wrath, and then we will truly be doomed."
