"Damn it! If I’d known this, I never would have come to this godforsaken Ten Thousand Beast Star! There’s no way the Boss would ever come to a place like this either. Ugh! How could I be so careless? Now it’s too late to even call for backup!"
Zi Long clenched her fists in immense frustration. She checked on Huo Yan, who was lying inside her spatial treasure, and seeing her life force fading away, leaving her on the brink of death, she felt devastated. Over these years, she and Huo Yan had been inseparable, like sisters. They had braved the cosmos together and faced death numerous times, forging a profound bond. In truth, Huo Yan had only been critically wounded by the Fire Kirin while trying to save her. Otherwise, given her own life-preserving divine abilities, even a powerful creature like the Fire Kirin would have found it difficult to harm her.
Zi Long felt a mix of sorrow, frustration, and self-reproach. If she hadn't been so impulsive and underestimated the enemy during their battle with the Fire Kirin, things wouldn't have ended up like this. With Huo Yan by her side, even if they couldn't defeat the Fire Kirin, they at least wouldn't have been killed. But now, Huo Yan had completely lost her ability to fight, and facing the Fire Kirin alone, she had no hope of victory. There was no escape and no chance of winning; she was essentially waiting for death.
