Chapter 975: Chapter 359: The Fainting Witch and the Dragon Speaker
Francesca soared into the sky like a bird.
As she flew upward, she continuously released the forest spiritual energy within her!
“Boom! Boom boom!”
The spiritual energy erupted continuously, disrupting the traces left by the giant dragon.
As the cold currents in the sky flowed, it would soon completely eliminate the dragon’s breath.
However, since Serafis had fallen from ten thousand meters high.
Francesca also had to reach a similar altitude to create the illusion that the giant dragon had never stopped in this vicinity from the start to the end.
But, the higher she flew, the colder the temperature became!
It’s important to know that when Cao Xing flew to two thousand meters the last time, the temperature already reached -78℃.
It’s imaginable how much lower the temperature would be at even higher altitudes.
Upon reaching five thousand meters into the sky.
Francesca’s body was already covered with a thick layer of ice crystals, her movements becoming increasingly rigid, and even her blood was freezing!
But she knew it was a race against time!
All traces of dragon’s breath had to be eliminated in the shortest time possible.
“Hoo — hoooo —”
Facing the howling gale, Francesca continued to charge toward the sky.
When she reached eight thousand meters high, the low temperature here reached an extremely low level, even breaking through a certain critical point.
She felt her body becoming increasingly stiff, with a piercing cold like countless sharp ice knives, madly stabbing into every inch of her skin!
Her blood seemed about to freeze solid, and her limbs gradually lost sensation, as if encased in heavy ice, heavy and numb!
Every breath felt like inhaling shards of ice, the cold moving down her respiratory tract into her lungs, making her chest feel as though a massive block of ice was crushing it, painful and suffocating.
Even the forest spiritual energy within her seemed to be sealed and was extremely difficult to mobilize!
This is the terror of extreme cold, which even a commander-level creature like her couldn’t withstand!
Ordinary people would be completely frozen at this height in an instant.
If Francesca hadn’t recently advanced, becoming a sixth-tier master-level strong person, she would have fainted by now.
She still gritted her teeth and continued charging into the sky!
Upon reaching ten thousand meters, Francesca exerted all her strength, mobilizing the last trace of forest spiritual energy to clear the surrounding dragon’s breath.
“Boom! Boom boom!”
The forest spiritual energy continued to explode.
Until she couldn’t sense any sign of the dragon’s breath having lingered here, did this beautiful witch finally sigh with relief.
However, under extreme cold, Francesca was always in a tense state.
At this moment, relaxing suddenly, she felt her consciousness instantly scatter, and her vision darkened.
It seemed she couldn’t hold on any longer, her entire aura halted, and then she closed her eyes, plummeting straight down from the sky.
At this moment, Cao Xing looked up, seeing a black dot rapidly falling.
Like a kite with a broken string!
“Is that Francesca? Her status seems a bit off!”
In that instant, the wings on Cao Xing’s back suddenly spread open.
“Whoosh!”
He did not enter the demon transformation state but activated the wind wings on his back.
The invisible wind wings, carrying a strong gale, rushed him rapidly toward the sky.
At approximately fifteen hundred meters high.
Cao Xing directly stretched out his hands, catching the falling Francesca.
The overwhelming giant force struck!
“Crack! Crack!”
Because of the instant fall, under the pull of gravity, Francesca’s falling momentum reached a terrifying level!
Even shattering the holy shield on him directly.
Like a heavy piece of iron, fiercely pulling Cao Xing downward!
The gale howled past his ears, emitting a sharp sound!
Cao Xing held Francesca, unable to stop the falling trend.
His eyes showed a hint of anxiety.
“Damn it! At this rate, we both will end up half-dead!”
He himself was fine, having many life-saving abilities after all.
But Francesca was clearly in a deep frozen state now, the extreme cold even damaged her body, and if struck the ground might directly turn into a pile of fragments…
During the fall, Cao Xing fully activated the wind wings on his back, trying to reduce the gravitational fall as much as possible.
“Hoo — hoo —”
The sound of wings flapping continued to echo.
Finally, when nearing five hundred meters from the ground.
With Cao Xing’s relentless efforts, he finally managed to slow down their falling trend.
Then, holding the witch in his arms, Cao Xing steadily landed on the ground of the territory.
The people below, seeing this scene, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing also felt how stiff Francesca’s entire body had become!
Practically like a heavy block of ice!
Even her blood was frozen.
She was now tightly closing her eyes, her complexion pale white, with white ice crystal fragments still lingering on her eyelashes.
Looking at the witch’s condition, a hint of empathy appeared in his eyes.
Cao Xing quickly ordered, “Everyone return to your rooms and erase today’s events from your minds.”
“Act as if nothing happened.”
Upon hearing this, everyone solemnly nodded and returned to their shelters.
As for Cao Xing himself, he quickly carried the stiff Francesca into the Lord’s Hut.
Then he carried her to the fireplace.
Pouring milk into her mouth while taking out layers of cloud yak coats from his backpack, covering her with them.
