Chapter 2696: Trade_1

Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyan, who had fallen into a coma, was waking up groggily...

"Ugh... my head is killing me. Although I knew running out of Soul Power would lead to a coma, I never expected it to be so uncomfortable!"

After forcibly using her consciousness, she noticed Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu, who were urgently trying to recover their Soul Power...

She said in slight astonishment, "Huh? Yehui, Zheng Yu??"

Hearing her voice, the two stopped their actions...

Yuanen Yehui spoke softly, "Xiaoyan, you're awake?"

Yue Zhengyu then asked with concern, "Xiaoyan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head, "Just a bit dizzy, nothing serious. But why am I here??"

Yue Zhengyu immediately explained, "It was Yehui who discovered you falling from the sky after running out of Soul Power!"

She looked at Yuanen Yehui thoughtfully, "I see, thanks to you Yehui, I survived. Otherwise, falling from such a height would have broken a few ribs at least!"

Yuanen Yehui just "hmm"ed in response, smoothly moving past the subject...

Suddenly, Xu Xiaoyan tapped her head, her face filled with urgency, "Right, what about Wulin and the others? How are they doing?"

She remembered sending everyone into the barrier before losing consciousness and had no idea what had happened afterward...

Yue Zhengyu hesitated, "We're not sure about the details either, but Wulin and the rest are still inside the barrier, so they must still be fighting the Ghost Emperor!"

Yuanen Yehui confirmed, "Yes, Zheng Yu and I plan to recover our Soul Power as quickly as possible and then go help them!"

Xu Xiaoyan immediately stood up, "In that case, I'm coming too!"

Yue Zhengyu pursed his lips, suggesting, "Xiaoyan, that guy, Ghost Emperor is probably very dangerous. You should stay here..."

Before he could finish, Xu Xiaoyan rejected his suggestion...

"No way, how can I flee from a battle? Furthermore, without my help, you wouldn't be able to get into the barrier!"

Yuanen Yehui looked puzzled, "Xiaoyan, we can't enter the barrier? What do you mean?"

Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath, "The barrier cast by the Ghost Emperor has extremely strong defensive powers. When Hall Master Guo and the others launched a joint attack, it didn't even show a sign of damage!"

"Simply put, to get inside the barrier, we need to rely on Spatial Ability!"

Yue Zhengyu suddenly realized, "I see, if Xiaoyan doesn't come with us, we really can do nothing but worry from the outside!"

Yuanen Yehui said nothing else, urging, "Then let's not delay and set off!"

...

When they arrived outside the blood-colored barrier, floating in mid-air and emanating chaotic energy, with their intense Soul Power...

They clearly saw Di Tian and the others within their sight...

Yue Zhengyu narrowed his eyes, "Those creatures... are the ferocious beasts that were with Gu Yue. What are they doing here guarding this place?"

Yuanen Yehui speculated, "I guess since they can't destroy the barrier, they're waiting out here. As for Gu Yue, I remember she has Spatial Ability, so she must have gone in already!"

Xu Xiaoyan affirmed, "Yes, that must be it."

Similarly, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts who were being watched, also noticed Yue Zhengyu and the others...

Di Tian said with a heavy voice, "I didn't expect you to come too!"

Yuanen Yehui spoke calmly, "Of course, it is our duty as Elders of the Sea God Pavilion to slay evil Soul Masters. However, since you're here, it must mean Gu Yue is here too. Where is she?"

Considering their goals might align, there was no need to show hostility.

Just as speculated, Di Tian answered truthfully, "Our lord has already entered the barrier!"

Bi Ji frowned, "Di Tian, there's no need to tell her the whereabouts of our master..."

Di Tian waved his hand, "It's fine, even if we don't say it, they can guess. Besides, the most important thing now is to get rid of the Ghost Emperor."

It wasn't the first time they had cooperated with humans!

When they faced the Abyssal Emperor before, both sides had chosen to join forces...

Especially that Tang Wulin, he even saved us ferocious beasts!

It's not that they felt a liking for him, but at least there was no hostility...

Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly, "Thank you, but please retreat for the time being, we need to go inside!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Ji expressed her surprise, "Do you mean you have a way to enter the barrier??"

These ferocious beasts had launched countless attacks but were unable to shake the barrier before their eyes!

Yue Zhengyu was about to say something when Xu Xiaoyan interrupted, "Yes, I can use a wide-range Spatial Soul Skill to forcibly enter the barrier!"

At this remark, the pupils of Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts suddenly lit up...

A Spatial Soul Skill, huh? They remembered that their master had entered the barrier in the same way...

In a low voice, Yue Zhengyu reminded, "Xiao Yan, why are you telling them this??"

But Xu Xiaoyan blinked and said, "Zheng Yu, these ferocious beasts are probably also worried about Gu Yue's safety, so they want to go in and help, right?"

"And our goal is the same. Why not enter together? One more person means a better chance of success!"

She certainly wouldn't reveal that it was Di Tian's softened attitude that made her willing to do so!

Yue Zhengyu found himself unable to refute, "Well... that's true."

Bi Ji cast a meaningful glance at Di Tian...

The latter also quickly understood and stepped forward, saying with utmost sincerity, "Ladies and gentlemen, if possible, please take us with you into the barrier!"

"As a token of our appreciation, the Spirit Pagoda is willing to provide sufficient funds. I'm sure Shrek Academy could use these resources right now!"

As proud ferocious beasts, they wouldn't ask humans for help without reason, so a trade was the most acceptable approach!

Xu Xiaoyan did not expect this response and hesitantly looked towards Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu, "Ye Hui, Zheng Yu, what do you think?"

Yue Zhengyu rolled his eyes, "Xiao Yan, after what you've already said, what can we do? We can only reluctantly agree!"

Yuanen Yehui did not refuse either, "Indeed, and besides, our academy really is facing some financial crisis. If this can alleviate it, then it's not a bad idea!"

Currently, Shrek Academy was lacking both students and funds...

Xu Xiaoyan gave a slight smile, "I understand!"

Then she said to Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, "Fine, I agree to your request. We will enter the barrier together. As for the reward, I trust you ferocious beasts will not go back on your word!"

Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course... thank you!"

Feeling that perhaps his gratitude was insufficient, he added more than he typically would...

The rest of the ferocious beasts, though reluctant to seek help from humans, found themselves in agreement following his lead...

Xu Xiaoyan took out her Magic Wand, reminding them, "Then, to avoid unnecessary consumption of Soul Power, please gather closer!"
