This sudden unexpected change caught Zhou Zhishui and the others off guard, all of them getting caught in the explosion, especially Zhou Zhishui, who was knocked unconscious by the force of the blast.

The golden token in her hand also fell to the ground.

“Are you guys alright?” Zhou Xiruo asked, holding the Golden Bell. Although she was unaffected, she was still shocked by the scene, seeing everyone scattered and fallen, she quickly asked.

“Don’t worry about us, just maintain the array, do not let these Bear Demons break in!” Zhou Ji, gasping for breath, blood streaming from his forehead.

Zhou Xiruo bit her lip, the golden bell artifact in her hand pushing to the limit, keeping those Bear Demons out.

Although the injuries of the few people were not severe, Zhou Zhishui had fainted, and only she could activate the golden token. No one else could use it.

“Damn! What the hell is going on?” Zhou Ji said, his face extremely grim.

A steward of the Pill Alliance said, “It must be the Shadowless Bug. That person that exploded had a Shadowless Bug in his body.”

When they heard it was a Shadowless Bug, everyone’s hearts trembled with fear. Zhou Ji was stunned, he didn’t expect someone in their team to be inhabited by a Shadowless Bug.

The notoriety of the Shadowless Bug was well known amongst them, considered one of the most terrifying existences in Hundred Beast Mountain. It kills invisibly, without a trace, and is incredibly difficult to guard against.

By the time the body was about to explode, it was too late to salvage anything.

Roar!!!

Just as everyone was still shocked by the Shadowless Bug, the leader of the Bear Demons actually stood up. The bloody hole in his stomach minimized much, it didn’t look so terrifying.

The Bear Demon leader stepped forward, its bloody red eyes fixated on the people within the Golden Bell array.

Boom boom boom boom!!!

The Bear Demon leader, as if crazed, began to fiercely pound on the Golden Bell Array. Its strength was immense, and its bear paws were extraordinarily tough. The Golden Bell Array began to flicker incessantly.

“Not good! The power of this Bear Demon is too big, the array can’t hold for long!” Zhou Xiruo’s face changed and she tried her best to maintain the array’s stability. But she couldn’t fully utilize this Golden Bell, it failed to show its real power. Now being hit by the Bear Demon leader, the array was about to collapse.

In addition to the Bear Demon leader, the other Bear Demons were also continuously attacking the array, putting more pressure on Zhou Xiruo.

Everyone’s faces were very grave. If the array were to be broken now, they, the remnants of their group, would be doomed.

“Quickly wake Zhishui up!” Zhou Xiruo shouted. Her face turned paler as the array flickered.

Upon realizing this, they hurriedly woke Zhou Zhishui up.

However, as soon as Zhou Zhishui woke up, she spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously seriously injured. Whether she could activate the golden token or not was still uncertain.

“Zhishui, quickly activate the token, our lives are in your hands.” Zhou Ji said anxiously.

The others also looked at Zhou Zhishui. At this moment, only she could change the situation; she was their only hope.

Zhou Zhishui didn’t say anything. She picked up the golden token and held it tightly in her hand.

The golden token lit up, a mighty aura seemed about to permeate from it. Seeing this, everyone showed signs of wild joy. If the golden token could still be used, they could survive.

But in the next moment, the light on the golden token dimmed.

“I can’t. I have used too much Inner Strength, I can’t activate it anymore.” Zhou Zhishui shook her head and said, despair apparent in her eyes.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Were they really heading into a dead end?

“Zhishui, don’t you have any other magical objects?” Zhou Ji looked at Zhou Zhishui hopefully, wishing to hear some good news.

Zhou Zhishui shook her head: “Even if I do, I can’t use them now.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ji’s face fell immediately.

“Are we going to die here?” A royal youth said mournfully.

Zhou Xiruo, maintaining the Golden Bell array, trembled slightly, and the light from the array quickly dimmed. Clearly, it was only a matter of time before it was broken.

She was about to reach her limit and was filled with despair. The moment she collapses, and the Golden Bell array was broken, their entire group would be facing imminent death.

Zhou Zhishui’s face showed reluctance. She slapped her Nine Palace Bag and took a pill, quickly recovering her Inner Strength.

“Xiruo, hold on!” Zhou Zhishui said, her expression regaining calm.

Zhou Xiruo glanced at Zhou Zhishui, and although she didn’t know what Zhou Zhishui was going to do, she took a pill like Zhou Zhishui to temporarily relieve her pressure.

“Zhishui, do you have any plans?” Seeing this, Zhou Ji quickly asked, as if grasping at straws.

Zhou Zhishui didn’t say anything. After taking the pill, she felt a bit better and took out another item from her Nine Palace Bag.

It was a longsword, Zhou Zhishui had taken it out before to intimidate Huang Batian.

This sword, also a magical item, but chosen for Zhou Zhishui, was one she didn’t want to use unless absolutely necessary.

Because its power is too great, using it once would leave her in an extremely weak state.

Within Hundred Beast Mountain, once she was in a state of extreme weakness, death would not be far off.

By taking the sword out now, Zhou Zhishui was essentially preparing to sacrifice herself to protect the others.

Zhou Zhishui held the sword, and sighed quietly in her heart, thinking if she hadn’t gone with Zhou Ji’s group but continued with Fang Lin, maybe she wouldn’t have encountered such a situation.

Just as Zhou Zhishui was about to exhaust all her strength to activate the sword, a strange noise suddenly sounded.

The sound was very strange, like the sound of some Demon Beast, but it contained an indescribable power.

The Bear Demons around, upon hearing this sound, the redness in their eyes gradually dimmed, and their raging emotions were unknowingly pacified.

In a short while, a Bear Demon fell to the ground and started snoring deeply.

Then the second, the third…

More and more Bear Demons dropped to the ground, their snoring reverberated throughout, even the most formidable Bear Demon leader looked sleepy. He even slapped himself a couple of times, but still couldn’t resist the oncoming sleepiness.

With a thud, the Bear Demon leader fell to the ground, propped against a big tree, and started snoring.

The people in the array were stunned, it took them a while to process what was happening.

What’s going on? The Bear Demons, who were just ferocious and ready to attack a moment ago, were now sound asleep in the blink of an eye? This was absurd.

“Sigh, I’m just too kind-hearted, I just can’t stand by and watch someone die.” A lazy voice sounded.
