As Gu Luoxin was petrified in place, Noir swiftly rushed forward and leapt out of the ship. One second before he fell into the water, a pair of bone wings unfurled behind his back and he flew straight up to the sky. After that, he hurled Lucius, who was still a little disoriented from sleep, toward the little gap in the cocoon!
"Mroow!!" Lucius' fur exploded in shock, and with a sharp cry, it transformed into a deadly spear that sliced through the air. Noir's reaction time was quick, but the cocoon seemed to anticipate the attack. A few tendrils emerged and slapped the spear away, sending it rebounding toward the ocean. In an instant, it sealed itself shut, trapping Shen Nianzu and the queen inside!
Gu Luoxin hauled the muddled Jin Jiuchi onto the ship with brute force, and his face paled with worry when he saw the solid dome. "Oh no, Xiao Shen!"
