The creature suddenly burst out of the sea and into view. The monster looked like an octopus. It had a black, oval body that was the size of a few football fields. A grey eye the size of several footballs stared at Xiao Lin and the others in the air, its body surrounded by over a dozen toothy and clawed tentacles.

Guardian!

Silverlight did not even need to explain as Xiao Lin clenched his teeth and spat out the monsters name. From his perspective, the Guardian in front of him looked almost identical to Gu Chengyuns painting.

The Guardian never left Poseidons side. They had missed something critical. In all their plans on how to seal Poseidon, they had forgotten about his Guardians. Silverlight had said that the Guardians might not be at the level of Poseidon, but they were still at Epic-rankdefinitely not an opponent they could face.

With the Guardians sudden attack, the tentacles that were filled with teeth merely brushed past Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue, but half of Xiao Lins body was bleeding, though the pain was secondary. He still had the dragons blood recovery effect, but the numbness coming from his hand caused him to worry.

Gu Xiaoyue was in worse shape than he was. She merely reacted half a step slower, and failed to dodge completely. The tentacles had pierced through her left shoulder, only narrowly missing her heart!

Looking at Gu Xiaoyue coughing up blood in the air, Xiao Lin felt a pang in his heart, but there was nothing he could do at that moment. Controlling Poseidons cage away from the surface of the ocean, Xiao Lin could see from his higher vantage point that, in the nearby sea, there were more shadows speeding toward them.

Xiao Lin sucked in a cold breath, understanding that they no longer had a way to get to the bottom of the sea. Not only that, due to their rapidly declining states, the seal was starting to weaken, shortening the time the seal could be maintained.

Sensing their situation, Poseidon renewed his struggle. The cage woven by the arrows started to flicker. Silverlight started to tense up. She knew that Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue did not have much life force remaining. If they did not quickly suppress Poseidon in a safe place, everything they did earlier would be in vain.

Xiao Lin was also wracking his brain. The added burden on his body caused him to sweat. He bit into the wound on his lips, gathering up his spirit.

The temple! That temple we came from! Xiao Lin suddenly shouted, wincing as the wound stung. However, he quickly said, Isnt there a wormhole to Planet Norma there? Why dont we just seal Poseidon in there?!

Gu Xiaoyue and Silverlight jumped, but thinking about it, it was the only way they had at that moment. It was better than allowing Poseidon to take over Earth when he recovered. Silverlight might have been on Planet Norma for thousands of years, but her homeland was still Earth. She did not wish to see Earth meet disaster.

They brought Poseidon toward the temple. There was only a little time before Atlantis was completely sunk, and most of the mainland had already disappeared. As the temple was on the highest point, half of it was still above water, but any later and they would lose their chance.

Xiao Lin and the others took the chance to hurry over, failing to notice that the black dragon behind them had struggled and flown into the air, changing into human form before following them.

Moving past the half-submerged corridor and bringing Poseidon into the temple, the seawater had already washed away all the furniture around them. Now the question came: where was the wormhole to Planet Norma?

Everything in the small area could be seen at a glance, and there was nothing that could hide anything around them. Asking Silverlight yielded nothing either, so Xiao Lin started to panic. Poseidon seemed to sense something, and laughed coldly as he said a few words.

What is he saying? Xiao Lin looked over to Silverlight. He did not speak a lick of Atlantean.

He said our seal has already failed. If we let him go, he will grant us a quick death.

Dream on!

Before Xiao Lin could even retort, a loud bellow could be heard. A woman clad in black armor barged in like a meteor, her bright eyes filled with immense rage.

Onyxia? Xiao Lin shouted in Ancient Normese.

The familiar woman paused, measuring Xiao Lin before asking a string of questions in Ancient Normese. You know me? No, you know this language! Who are you? Thank you for saving me, but strangely enough, I felt your presence, but could never see you. Where were you?

Xiao Lin waved his hands, trying to answer, but he quickly started to cough. The numbing poison had already spread to various parts of his body. It was no longer just the pain.

Youre poisoned? Are you really unable to resist that level of poison? Onyxia furrowed her eyebrows. Her words contained no mocking, only curiosity. She had likely believed that anyone who could seal Poseidon would be a peak expert that would be able to withstand such a poison.

Onyxia! Your blood could treat their injuries! Silverlight said calmly.

Oh? How are you still here?! Onyxia narrowed her eyes, her killing intent rising. However, it immediately stopped. She could still understand what was important, and it was not the time to discuss grudges.

Dragons blood? Xiao Lins consciousness was beginning to fade. Thanks to the trauma from a certain logistics department head, he had a mental aversion to dragons blood.

However, Onyxia did not bother with him. Even a heavily-injured black dragon was not something that a Black-Iron ranked person could fight. Onyxia took out the armor on her shoulder, revealing patches of shocking injuries. It was only because of a dragons intense life force that he was still standing as if nothing had happened.

The wound was still bleeding, which made things easier. Onyxia thrust her white arm in front of Xiao Lin, and when she saw that he refused to open his mouth, Onyxia muttered something to herself before forcing his mouth open, sending a large amount of fresh blood into Xiao Lins mouth.

The recovery effect of dragons blood was very obvious. Xiao Lin immediately regained consciousness after a few mouthfuls. Onyxia then did the same for Gu Xiaoyue, stopping her bleeding. Even though Gu Xiaoyue still looked weak, she seemed fine for the time being.

Are you all looking for something? Onyxia ignored her arm, which was still bleeding, choosing to stare at Silverlight.

The way back, that passage that brought you here. You should know where it is.

The two of them looked at each other silently for a long time.
