Chapter 1233: Inner Demons
Ling Feng frowned, it seemed that his feeling was not wrong; he indeed knew the masked woman. However, judging from what the masked woman said, she was quite confident about her identity!
Who could she be? Ling Feng couldn't help but wonder.
"Could it be Jenny? But no, Jenny has blonde hair, and this one has long straight black hair!" Ling Feng started having wild thoughts.
The masked woman watched Ling Feng in deep thought and couldn't help but laugh; she enjoyed seeing Ling Feng in a dilemma.
"Look, the beast tide is splitting!" At this moment, Daphne, who had been closely observing the beast tide, suddenly shouted.
Ling Feng and the masked woman hurriedly followed, and sure enough, near the west side of the forest, the massive beast herd had actually split, just like a river encountering a giant rock, the water flow split to both sides!
The beast tide was the same! The trees on both sides of the west direction were completely knocked down by the beast tide, only some in the middle still stood tall, appearing so abrupt in the mess of the forest!
"Great, finally found it!" Daphne's face broke into a happy smile.
Ling Feng sighed: "Daphne, don't be too happy too soon, maybe... things will go beyond our expectations!"
"What do you mean?" The masked woman couldn't help but ask.
Ling Feng turned to look at the two women: "With your abilities, can you fight against this beast tide?"
Daphne furrowed her brow and thought for a moment, then shook her head somewhat dejectedly: "No, because the beast tide has already formed a scale, like an avalanche, with my ability, I naturally can't stop them!"
Ling Feng nodded: "That's right, I think you should also understand! The current beast tide is already a torrent, and the beast tide that's turned blood-red is even more terrifying in its destructiveness! Yet, this terrifying beast tide, in front of us, split obediently, what does that indicate?"
"The monster beast in there is very powerful!" The masked woman exclaimed.
Ling Feng said, "Yes, I think we might have underestimated the strength of that monster beast!"
Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, a worried expression crossed Daphne's face.
"Forget it, there's no use in saying more now, we'll have to face it sooner or later!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Since we've found the monster beast's location, let's go see who we're dealing with!"
With that, Ling Feng moved swiftly towards the monster beast's location.
"Let's go too!" Daphne glanced at the masked woman and then asked softly: "Why... why don't you reveal yourself to him?"
The masked woman fell silent, then said somewhat bitterly: "What's the point of saying it? If I can't enter his heart, it's better this way, maintaining some mystery might make him remember me more!"
Daphne sighed: "Falling in love with a man who doesn't love you... is this the greatest mockery fate has for us women?"
"I'm not like you!" The masked woman looked at Daphne and said: "I've said before, Ling Feng is not someone who holds grudges, you should also see it by now, Ling Feng now holds no resentment or hatred towards you, it's just that you can't get over it!"
Daphne shook her head: "I know, but I can't get over it! Years ago, he saved me from the Demon Cave, it was my recklessness that made him lose hope of leaving the Divine Gate, suffering so much torture! Even if he doesn't resent me now, I can't forgive myself!"
The masked woman looked at the trembling Daphne, couldn't help but step forward to embrace her: "Oh, why do you put yourself through this! You've bound yourself with a heavy chain, how can you be freed!"
"Perhaps that's my fate!" Daphne gently freed herself from the masked woman's embrace: "I am the descendant of King Arthur, since I've already let down the person I once relied on the most, then at least let me become a qualified King Arthur, I will definitely pass the Divine Sword's test!"
Ling Feng, walking ahead, noticed there were no signs of the two women behind him, he couldn't help but smirk, typical women, scared off at the mention of danger! But this is also fine, saves them from interfering with me getting the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit!
Ling Feng's speed was swift, by the time the two women reached the monster beast territory, Ling Feng's presence had completely disappeared.
"Ling Feng is really fast! He probably wants to end it quickly!" The masked woman said: "Let's hurry up too!"
"Wait, don't you feel a terrifying presence here?" Daphne gripped her longsword tightly, a tremor in her voice.
Since stepping into this area, she felt as if there was a ferocious pair of eyes watching her, waiting to devour her at a moment of carelessness.
The masked woman touched her veil, shook her head: "Daphne, you should know, my inherited item can obscure my aura, it can also block others' aura, I haven't felt that presence."
Daphne almost forgot, the sacred artifact the masked woman had obtained could block aura detection! This is also why Ling Feng couldn't see through the woman's veil.
"The monster beast here is extremely terrifying in strength!" Daphne hesitated, then said: "Ling Feng going in alone will definitely be dangerous, we must catch up quickly!"
After saying this, Daphne's body trembled and she collapsed onto the ground. She was gasping for air, cold sweat dripping like a small stream across her face!
Within moments, her body was soaked with cold sweat.
"Daphne, your condition is very bad right now!" The masked woman said: "You won't be able to take it this way!"
"I... I can do it!" Daphne tried to struggle to stand, but was unable to succeed.
"You've used too much of the power from the Sword of the King!" The masked woman sighed and said: "Your inherited power is already very weak now, it can't withstand the pressure here, you should rest here, I'll get the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit for you!"
Daphne shook her head: "No, I have to get the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit, only then can I obtain the power of the Divine Sword, that way, I can use the Sword of the King to save their lives! I am their king, this is my responsibility!"
Saying this, Daphne gritted her teeth, leaned on her longsword, and struggled to stand up: "I bear their hope for survival, if I fall here, how can I face them?"
The masked woman looked at Daphne with some surprise, it was the first time she saw Daphne so stubborn, so weak yet so strong!
"Alright, I'll support you, let's go together!" The masked woman held Daphne's wrist and said.
