YM778.TV Chapter 93: Injured Freya
Those monsters are like enlarged versions of some kind of arthropod.
Not only does it have densely packed antennae, but it also has sharp teeth. Its appearance is ugly, especially when green liquid flows out from the wound, emitting a foul odor that is unbearable.
"So, that Freya is the one who got injured?"
Not far away, Enzo, who was observing in secret, remained still, thinking to himself.
Perhaps this was an opportunity.
Should he take action?
Enzo had never liked Freya, despite her good looks, especially coming from a powerful tribe like the Golden Lions, exuding a noble air, as if she were a queen who could command armies.
But Freya wanted him dead.
Enzo had no mercy for his enemies.
Therefore, Enzo quickly made his decision.
Strike!
Such an opportunity could not be missed.
In the next moment, several vines on the ground where Freya was sitting broke open and stabbed towards her fatal parts such as her heart and head. Freya immediately reacted, but the attack came too suddenly, and coupled with her injuries, she was unable to completely avoid it, causing her lower abdomen to be pierced by a vine. Although it did not damage her internal organs, the severe pain it brought was not pleasant.
"Who is it?" Freya demanded.
Unfortunately, no one responded.
Enzo wasn\'t about to foolishly step out into the open. He continued to discreetly manipulate the vines.
Freya\'s injuries were beyond Enzo\'s imagination; she struggled to defend herself even under the entanglement of just a few vines. She not only had blood holes in her arms and thighs, but also vomited a large mouthful of black bruises
The whole person\'s aura became listless, as if they could die at any moment.
At this moment, Enzo finally stepped forward.
Seeing the person attacking her, Freya gritted her teeth. "It\'s you!"
Enzo smiled and said, "Long time no see, Lord Freya. Last time you were so majestic, how did you end up in such a sorry state this time, becoming my captive!"
Freya cursed vehemently, "You coward who only knows how to ambush!"
Enzo paid no mind to her insults.
Whether in the jungle or elsewhere, there were no ethics in conflict. Any method that could eliminate the enemy was a good method.
Enzo walked towards Freya.
At this moment, Freya\'s ears and body were entangled by vines, rendering her completely immobile, with only her head exposed, staring fiercely at Enzo.
It was this man!
If it weren\'t for Enzo, her strength wouldn\'t have declined before entering the High Tower Space.
Nor would it have led to the intentional betrayal by that guy, Zona, causing her to fall into this terrifying monster\'s lair. Despite killing all the monsters in the lair, she was poisoned and severely injured.
What made her even more desperate was Enzo\'s appearance at this moment.
Damn it!
Freya cursed in her heart, but still maintained her proud posture.
Seeing this, Enzo smiled and said, "Lord Freya, let\'s make a deal. You tell me everything you know about supernatural knowledge and High Tower Space, and promise not to be my enemy again in the future. This time, I can let you go."
Freya laughed mockingly. "Foolish!"
She looked disdainfully at Enzo. Though bound, she showed no fear and said, "I don\'t know how you entered High Tower Space, but such a place is not for a jungle rat like you. Besides, if you want to kill me, you\'re welcome to try."
"She\'s trying to provoke me!"
Enzo thought suddenly.
He quickly realized the problem. Despite being captured, Freya showed no fear. This indicated that she still had some hidden cards to play, ones she would only use when faced with mortal danger.
With this thought, a meaningful smile appeared on Enzo\'s face.
Freya\'s expression subtly changed.
Indeed, Enzo had not guessed wrong. As a candidate priest of the Golden Lion Tribe, Freya not only possessed formidable strength but had also gathered several valuable treasures.
And among them, the life protection Ritual—that was her greatest trump card.
The life protection Ritual originated from the once-powerful Barren Mountain Tribe, requiring the essence of a Level 3 supernatural being as an offering, combined with the Spring of Holy Light. This Ritual, once activated, bestowed life protection upon oneself, granting immunity from death in the face of mortal danger and restoring one\'s condition completely.
However, after the life protection Ritual took effect, it would enter a long cooldown period.
For a duration as long as five years.
Because of this, Freya would not willingly place herself in absolute peril unless absolutely necessary.
This time, it could only be described as bad luck.
She had never expected Enzo to suddenly appear beside her, and she was injured. More importantly, Enzo, that despicable man, had chosen to strike when she was vulnerable.
At that moment, Freya felt something unusual on her face.
Enzo\'s hand was gently caressing her face, and his face was uncomfortably close. Close enough for her to feel his hot breath against her skin, giving Freya a strange sensation.
And then, Enzo\'s words made her complexion change completely.
Enzo chuckled and said, "Freya, don\'t worry, I wouldn\'t want to kill you. After all, you\'re so beautiful, and a candidate priest of the Golden Lion Tribe, with noble status and formidable strength. I\'m sure you can provide me with a different kind of experience."
With that, Enzo leaned in closer.
He violently kissed Freya\'s lips and forcefully pried open Freya\'s tightly clenched teeth with his tongue. Feeling Freya\'s anger and imminent bite, he quickly withdrew and then saw a trace of blood flowing out of Freya\'s mouth.
This woman is really fierce!
Clearly, Freya has bitten her lip.
What surprised Enzo even more was that Freya started crying.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she roared at Enzo, "When I recover, I will cut off the meat on your body piece by piece with a knife and feed it to the hyenas on the grassland.
Enzo naturally didn\'t care about Freya\'s threats.
After all, at this moment, Freya was completely powerless to retaliate. However, one thing he had to consider was that he needed to keep Freya close by. Judging by her current anger, she might resort to desperate measures to regain her strength and seek revenge for the humiliation she suffered.
Troublesome.
Enzo sighed inwardly.
But for now, he had no better option.
So, Enzo dragged Freya along inside the High Tower Space, hunting down the terrifying monsters to gather the tickets needed for the trial.
During this time, Freya remained silent.
However, internally, she was deeply shaken.
She knew that Enzo came from the jungle and was a priest of a tribe.
Jungle was a place so barren that people from other regions often looked down upon it. It was a wasteland of supernatural power, where hardly any Level 2 or higher supernatural beings emerged.
Yet, Enzo had defied these norms.
His strength was at least Level 3, and not an ordinary Level 3 at that.
What\'s more, Enzo had never received formal supernatural knowledge inheritance; his progress was purely based on his innate talents. If he were to acquire other supernatural knowledge or wield powerful artifacts, how much stronger could he become?
Freya\'s emotions were conflicted.
On one hand, she naturally harbored deep resentment towards Enzo. No one had ever humiliated her like he had.
Yet, on the other hand, she admired him immensely.
There was even a hint of desire in her heart.
If Enzo could choose to serve her, become her loyal subordinate, then she would have a much better chance at completing the final trial of the High Tower Space and becoming the future priestess of the Golden Lion Tribe.
In this swirl of conflicting thoughts, Freya found herself feeling lost.
Meanwhile, Enzo encountered trouble.
Before him loomed a terrifying Rampage Ape, its presence more daunting than any monster he had faced so far, including the enormous spider. Enzo estimated this Rampage Ape to be Level 4.
Enzo sighed heavily, his expression turning grave.
The Rampage Ape locked eyes with him, its massive limbs bracing on the ground. Its copper-bell-like golden eyes fixed on Enzo as it opened its large mouth, emitting a deafening roar, and swiftly swung its fist towards him.
Bang!
Enzo dodged aside, but the ground was smashed into a deep crater over a meter wide.
Seeing this, Enzo took in a sharp breath.
If he had been hit, he would have been severely injured, if not killed outright.
And this was just a Level 4 Rampage Ape. Enzo wondered what kind of monster Freya had faced earlier that could inflict such serious wounds on someone with Level 6 strength.
The dangers of the High Tower Space exceeded imagination, prompting Enzo to become even more cautious.
He manipulated vines to coil around himself, forming a protective layer that made him resemble a treant, albeit somewhat comically.
Despite the less than ideal appearance, it proved highly effective.
With the vines shielding him, the Rampage Ape\'s attacks were significantly weakened.
Furthermore, the Rampage Ape, despite its Level 4 strength, had an extremely aggressive temperament. During battles, it was always reckless and paid no attention to its surroundings, giving Enzo opportunities to maneuver.
He used the vines to entwine around nearby trees, weaving them into a net.
Now, all he needed was to find the right moment—a chance to deliver a fatal blow.
