Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Gu Yuexi Can’t Hold On! Chu Sheng to the Rescue

Outside the Secret Realm.

On the main platform, the large screen that had been displaying the last few images suddenly flickered with chaotic static. Then, with a soft FIZZ, it went completely dark.

The uproar across the entire field came to an abrupt halt.

Everyone understood what this meant.

The beast tide… was here!

Yet, right up to the final frame, there was no sign of Gu Yuexi or the Divine Locust.

…

Shadowland, at the Secret Realm Exit.

A teacher, forcing himself to stay upright, checked the condition of the spatial turbulence in the exit Wormhole once more.

Beneath the gazes of everyone holding onto their last shred of hope, he turned and shook his head bitterly.

It was still too dangerous; they couldn’t leave yet.

SNAP.

The last glimmer of light in the eyes of the seventy-some remaining people completely shattered.

Just as they had all prepared for death.

A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out:

“Everyone!”

“Gather together immediately.”

The voice was so sudden that they didn’t even have time to react, merely looking up in a daze.

A figure was seen speeding through the mid-air toward them, speaking again:

“What are you still standing around for?”

“If you want to live, everyone gather together right now! The smaller the group, the better!”

’Live?’

The crowd froze for a second, and then more people abruptly looked up.

In that instant, it was as if they had witnessed the descent of an angel!

’Is that Lin Zhixia?’

’No, it’s Gu Yuexi! She’s back?’

’She came back to save us?’

With no time to think, their survival instincts drove them to follow Gu Yuexi’s command, and they quickly huddled together.

In the air, Gu Yuexi landed in front of the crowd.

She quickly noticed half the people were missing, but she didn’t care. Since they had chosen to leave, it was no longer her concern. Her main objective was to intercept the beast horde here and prevent them from charging into the Demon Fog, which would make them even more difficult to handle.

’Those students from the Beast Taming Academy seem to get along well with that dead mosquito. Some of the Elixir Academy students are okay, too. I might as well save them since I’m here. Besides, with so many people gathered together, they can temporarily draw the beast horde’s attention and buy that dead mosquito some more time.’

At that moment, the beast tide arrived in full force.

Gu Yuexi’s hands formed a complex incantation seal. Then, she shouted coldly:

“Divine Prison Without End!”

As her voice fell, a massive, spherical cage of void materialized, enveloping the huddled crowd.

This Divine Thought Cage was larger than the one she had used on Chu Sheng, and it was infused with even more Realm Power!

The Divine Thought Cage could not only imprison those within but also prevent anything from the outside from entering. Therefore, it could also serve as a makeshift Guardian Shield!

The instant the Divine Thought Cage formed, a Sixth-Grade giant black leopard, its body wreathed in flames, leaped high into the air and pounced!

BOOM!

The giant leopard’s claws scraped violently against the Divine Thought Cage, causing several streams of runic light to flare up before it was viciously thrown back.

However, that was only the first of the horde to arrive.

Immediately following it was a frenzied, one-horned Giant Rhinoceros that charged forward with immense force!!

BOOM!! The Divine Thought Cage shuddered violently under the massive impact but remained unharmed.

But in the air, Gu Yuexi’s face paled slightly.

That was only the second one!

Without a moment’s respite, five more frenzied Demon Beasts attacked in the very next second.

Each one was at the Sixth-Grade Early Stage or even higher!

…

Inside the Divine Thought Cage.

All the students were trembling in fear. For them, who were only Fifth-Grade, the gap between them and a Sixth-Grade Demon Beast was already enormous, to say nothing of facing so many at once.

Because the Divine Thought Cage was transparent, they could clearly see every savage Demon Beast pouncing toward them. The feeling was like standing on cracked, transparent glass ten thousand meters in the air, liable to plummet at any moment.

Fortunately, the few teachers remained relatively calm. Although they couldn’t use their Mental Power at the moment, they were, after all, beings who had reached the Seventh-Grade Realm.

“Is this… that technique, Divine Prison Without End?”

“I never imagined Divine Prison Without End could be used like this. Her mastery of this Secret Technique is simply terrifying. With the support of that additional Realm, she can actually withstand the assault of a horde of Sixth-Grade Demon Beasts.”

The beast horde grew larger and larger, but the Divine Thought Cage remained as solid as ever.

The protected students began to relax a little. Just then, one of them saw something and cried out in alarm:

“Look over there!”

In the Demon Fog beyond the core area behind them, the dozens of people who had just left were running frantically in their direction. Behind them, all sorts of rampaging Demon Beasts were savagely tearing apart those who fell behind.

Of the original group of over seventy, only thirty-some remained. Leading them was none other than Mu Yunfei.

When Mu Yunfei and his group saw the people protected by the Divine Thought Cage, they ran toward it like madmen. It was a brief lull in the beast tide’s attacks. They scrambled over to the side of the Divine Thought Cage, desperate and terrified, trying to get in.

“Open it, let us in too!”

“Help, help us! Teacher, quickly, tell that Gu Yuexi to open this thing and let us in!”

The next wave of the beast tide was already upon them. The group surrounded the Divine Thought Cage, pounding on it frantically.

Gu Yuexi, however, didn’t even spare them a glance.

’Save them? Why should I? People must pay the price for their choices. Since they chose to leave and to distrust, they have to bear the consequences themselves. Besides, saving them would mean expanding the Divine Thought Cage to cover a larger area, forcing me to expend even more Mental Power.’

’If anyone speaks up for those people outside right now, not only will I not save them, I’ll kick out whoever spoke up as well.’

Fortunately, no one inside the Divine Thought Cage spoke a word.

ROAR!

A few seconds later, the noisy clamor ceased abruptly, leaving only the roars of the Demon Beasts.

…

The beast tide continued.

Just when everyone thought they would be safe under Gu Yuexi’s protection,

THUD! THUD! THUD!

An immense elephantine Demon Beast, over a dozen meters tall, arrived amidst the earth-shaking tremors.

A Seventh-Grade Demon Beast, the Earth-Splitting Wild Elephant!

Seeing this, despair once again surfaced in everyone’s hearts.

With the appearance of the Earth-Splitting Wild Elephant, the other Demon Beasts temporarily halted their attacks. The elephantine beast strode toward the crowd step by step, then brought its foot down on the Divine Thought Cage.

BOOM!

The ground quaked, and dust and smoke billowed into the air!

The Divine Thought Cage flickered a few times, nearly extinguishing, but it ultimately held.

Gu Yuexi’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

“Dead mosquito, hurry up!”

However, that was only the first stomp.

Seeing that it hadn’t crushed the thing beneath its foot, the Earth-Splitting Wild Elephant’s eyes turned crimson, and it stomped down violently once again.

BOOM!!!!

This time, not even Gu Yuexi could hold on. After all, her own realm was too low to begin with, and she had already expended too much Mental Power.

BOOM!!!!!!!

Another stomp came down!

The Divine Thought Cage finally shattered completely.

There was almost no time for the crowd to feel grief or fear before the Earth-Splitting Wild Elephant’s next stomp came crashing down again!

As the leg, like a colossal pillar holding up the sky, descended upon them, Su Li’s eyes suddenly lit up amidst the resigned gazes of everyone else.

“It’s the Divine Locust!”

A giant cockroach suddenly appeared in front of Gu Yuexi, looking smug.

“Hiss, hisss!”

Gu Yuexi stared, her eyes wide with disbelief.

“You’re saying you handled it?”

“The Demon Beasts behind us… you… killed them all??!”
