Chapter 2861
Inside the cave!
Su Yuqi, Fire Phoenix, and Yu Jiameng were huddled closely together!
All three were utterly drained. For days, they had been on the run from Gao Qisheng, leaving them exhausted and constantly seeking refuge!
Now, hunger gnawed at them, and the biting cold surrounded them; their mounts had vanished long ago!
“Sister Yuqi, we have to get moving quickly. I’m sure that guy will find us soon,”
Fire Phoenix urged breathlessly, looking at Su Yuqi!
“Fire Phoenix, I can’t run anymore. I just want to sleep!”
Su Yuqi fought to keep her eyes open, fatigue overwhelming her!
“Yuqi, please, don’t sleep! Just hold on a little longer!”
Yu Jiameng shook Su Yuqi urgently!
But Su Yuqi’s eyes remained firmly shut, refusing to obey.
“Yuqi, Yuqi ……”
Seeing her unresponsive, Yu Jiameng shook Su Yuqi harder, but there was no reaction!
“Fire Phoenix, please check on Yuqi! Something’s wrong!”
Yu Jiameng’s voice trembled with panic!
Fire Phoenix quickly reached out to feel Su Yuqi’s pulse, and her face paled with alarm!
“This is bad! Sister Yuqi’s breath is faint, and her Fate Soul is starting to fade!”
Fire Phoenix exclaimed in shock!
“What? How could this happen? She wasn’t injured!”
Yu Jiameng was bewildered, unable to comprehend why Su Yuqi had fallen into this state!
“Sister Yuqi is a fire spirit body. She’s been running in this frigid environment without a chance to recover, and now the freezing energy has invaded her body, which is contrary to her nature. That’s why she’s like this,”
Fire Phoenix explained gravely!
“What do we do now?” Yu Jiameng asked, her anxiety palpable!
During their time together, the three had grown as close as sisters, and seeing Su Yuqi in such distress broke Yu Jiameng’s heart!
“There’s nothing I can do right now; my spiritual power is too low. If only we could find a flame, it might help sustain Sister Yuqi’s Fate Soul!”
Fire Phoenix frowned, her mind racing!
But in this bitter cold, where could they possibly start a fire?
Moreover, raising a flame would surely draw Gao Qisheng right to them, leaving them no chance to escape!
Just as Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng were feeling hopeless, a noise echoed from outside the cave!
The two realized that Gao Qisheng and his men were closing in on them!
“Fire Phoenix, that monster is after us again! What should we do?”
Yu Jiameng was in a panic!
With Su Yuqi unconscious, escaping seemed impossible!
Fire Phoenix scanned the cave, then pressed her palms against the stone wall!
Flames flickered to life around her!
As she pushed her hands into the wall, it began to melt, revealing that it was not stone but a thick layer of ice!
“Sister Jia Meng, quickly put Sister Yuqi in the pit I made!”
Fire Phoenix instructed as she created a large hollow in the ice!
With urgency, she unfurled a pair of glowing red wings from her back!
Fire Phoenix plucked one of her feathers and gently placed it on Su Yuqi, then covered her with ice and snow!
The frigid air quickly encased Su Yuqi in ice!
From the outside, it would be impossible to tell that a person lay concealed within the icy barrier!
“I hope my fire feather can keep Sister Yuqi alive,”
Fire Phoenix whispered, glancing back at Su Yuqi before leading Yu Jiameng out of the cave!
The two were determined to lure Gao Qisheng and his men away!
As Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng emerged from the cave, Gao Qisheng, not far off, noticed their escape!
“Damn it! They’re trying to flee! Hurry, pursue them!”
Gao Qisheng shouted, leading his men in a swift chase after Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng!
Meanwhile, Yu Jiameng and Fire Phoenix, holding tightly to each other, found themselves running slower and slower!
