Chapter 2458  : Mission 138

Gu Chaoyan swiftly pulled Adams away from the pool, altering his course. Due to the strength of Gu Chaoyan’s pull, Adams lost his balance and stumbled but managed to avoid falling into the pool. The sorcerer attempted to assist him, but Camilla seemed determined to prevent Adams from escaping. She moved straight toward him, intent on causing harm. Gu Chaoyan hurried to intercept Camilla, delivering a powerful kick that caught the Huang Clan’s eldest daughter off guard, sending her tumbling down.

In this moment, Camilla realized she had underestimated the woman from an unknown race. Despite being the eldest daughter of the Huang Clan’s patriarch and having learned powerful techniques from birth, she had always been unmatched within the clan. Consequently, she initially didn’t take the trio seriously, especially not the other two, only desiring to eliminate Adams. After two unsuccessful attempts, Camilla redirected her focus to Gu Chaoyan.

She glared fiercely and launched another attack.

Camilla closed in on Gu Chaoyan swiftly, attempting to strike her with an iron whip. However, Gu Chaoyan skillfully kicked the weapon away. Following that, she gave Camilla a forceful shove, causing her to stumble towards the edge of the pool.

Camilla’s face registered shock, clearly frightened. Witnessing numerous sacrificial items turning into bloodwater and disappearing into the pool had made her aware of its terrifying nature. Despite this, she had never faced the prospect of being sacrificed herself and had never experienced fear.

In that critical moment, Camilla reacted swiftly, quickly getting up and fleeing in a sorry state. Whoever this woman was, she showed no mercy and displayed no intention of holding back. Life was more crucial than anything, and Camilla was well aware of this, regardless of the significance of cultivation.

With Camilla gone, the three exchanged glances, but there was no sense of relaxation. Her departure signaled that the Huang clan members would soon redirect their attention to the pool, neglecting the escape of their clansmen.

“We need to deal with this pool promptly. Otherwise, it will pose a greater problem later on,” the sorcerer advised.

Gu Chaoyan gazed at the deep pool, her eyes filled with contemplation.

Adams, just an ordinary clansman, and the seemingly powerless sorcerer couldn’t handle this source of evil swiftly. They would have to rely on her, and dealing with it without utilizing her cultivation seemed almost impossible.

Every time she embarked on a mission, she could employ her cultivation. However, in this world, devoid of civilization, she had never utilized her cultivation before.
