Chapter 1464 - 464: Terrifying Cold Current, Life Hanging by a Thread, the Ruthless and the Gift, Rapid Progression (Part 3)

"Sister Shiqin..."

Seeing Cai Shiqin draw her sword to stand in front of her, Su Xing’er felt a touch of emotion, but when she saw the seven people opposite not giving up and continuing to approach, she clenched her fist tightly, and her pupils showed a deep regret.

In the end, she could only blame herself for being soft-hearted!

On their way of escape just now, with the Yellow Candle in their hand, they had countless opportunities to harm Cai Shiyan and the others, and even halfway through, her three brothers signaled her with their eyes.

But she had refused them all.

She had long seen the greed on Cai Shiyan and the others’ faces, but thought there was no deep hatred between the two parties, so there was no need to harm them proactively; moreover, given the dangerous situation they were all in, Cai Shiyan and the others might have thoughts about the Yellow Candle, but probably would not take actual action.

Who knew, it was all her wishful thinking.

It could only be said that she had underestimated the ruthlessness of these prominent family scions.

Even though her master had given her a life-saving method, she couldn’t avert the danger and ended up in such a situation!

Feeling more and more guilty inside, Su Xing’er, seeing Cai Shiyan and his group approaching, had no other way. She quickly took out a Yellow Candle from her pocket and said, "Cai Shiyan, this Yellow Candle was bestowed by my master, I only have this one. I can give it to you!"

After ten days of traveling together, she knew everyone’s strength. Although Cai Shiqin had the strength of 52 manes, unfortunately, her four siblings’ strength was too weak to be of any help;

On the contrary, the seven people on the other side, Cai Shiyan had 53 manes, Cai Zizheng 45 manes, and even the weakest Cai Yuwan had a strength as high as 35 manes.

If a fight broke out, the five of them would have no chance of winning.

So they could only compromise!

Su Xing’er’s intention was clear, to offer a Yellow Candle, then mention her master’s name, hoping to intimidate Cai Shiyan and his group.

Unfortunately, she still underestimated Cai Shiyan’s brutality and imperiousness.

"I don’t believe you only have one. Hand over all your bags and let us search them. Also, at this critical moment..."

Cai Shiyan paused here, first showing a cold smile, then continued sternly, "When you can barely save your own life, even if your master Hong Yu had great abilities, it wouldn’t scare the heir of this princely line!"

Being harshly taught a lesson, Su Xing’er clenched the Yellow Candle, her face fluctuating between pale and green, eventually raising a trace of ruthlessness, she extinguished the Yellow Candle, then said sternly, "Then let’s burn everything to the ground. If you dare to make a move, we will break open the cave entrance with all our might. Once the cold stream comes in, we’ll all..."

Squeak squeak squeak squeak...

Before Su Xing’er could finish speaking, a faint squeaking sound suddenly came from underground, and upon hearing this sound, the twelve people present instantly turned pale.

"Those Silver-backed Rats have caught up..."

Boom!

Just as Cai Shiyan finished speaking, the ground where he stood suddenly burst open, and a giant creature over five meters long quickly drilled out from within.

It was a Rodent-type Cold Beast, with two small red eyes, a pair of long, sharp incisors extending to its lower jaw, two strong hind legs gripping the ground, its sharp foreclaws slightly extended forward, its back covered with a layer of fine silver fur, and a flesh-colored long tail almost twice its body length trailing behind, lightly swaying disgustingly.

If someone from Great Xia were here, they would recognize at a glance that this was clearly a type of Cold Beast common near the Double Dragon Mountain Wall, a Long-tailed Rodent.

Boom...

After this Rodent broke through the surface, two more smaller-than-one-meter Rodents drilled out of the ground.

"They could still catch up from so far away, it’s over!"

Su Xing’er’s heart was instantly filled with despair, and it wasn’t just her; the expressions of the other eleven were similar.

The reason they fled from the last cave was precisely because of these three Rodents. Despite running in the cold stream for so long with the Yellow Candle, unexpectedly, the three Rodents managed to follow all the way.

This time, they’re truly finished!

The largest Rodent fixed its blood-red gaze, swirling around the cave, finally fixating its eyes on the entrance area, and let out two slight squeaks.

The two smaller Rodents, upon hearing the sound, immediately rushed towards the entrance.

"Block them!"

Cai Shiqin was not willing to sit and wait for death, immediately urging everyone to take action.

These three Rodents, one intermediate and two low-level, even though they were Blood Cold Beasts with stronger power than normal Cold Beasts, should not have caused such panic.

The biggest problem was the cold stream outside.

The Cold Beasts had clearly figured out that they feared the cold stream. At the last entrance, the Rodents did the same, heading to destroy the entrance without fighting for long, and this time they were even smarter, planning to destroy the entrance before fighting.

Cai Shiqin’s decision was naturally very correct. The most important thing now was to prevent the Rodents from destroying the entrance. Once the cold stream outside came in, they would have to stay within the Yellow Candle’s light, making it even harder to fight the Rodents.

Su Xing’er had already extinguished the Yellow Candle in her hand. Seeing that, Su Jing and the other two planned to extinguish theirs too, but before they could, the Rodents had already entered.

Seeing the two Rodents rushing towards the entrance, Su Jing’s heart skipped a beat, and he didn’t dare to extinguish the Yellow Candle carelessly anymore.

He had seen the terror of the cold stream with his own eyes before, knowing that if the body came into contact with it, it would instantly freeze. If the entrance were really broken, the cold stream would pour in wildly, leaving no time to reignite the Yellow Candle.
