"Here, the southeast direction."

After hearing this, Wan Lei immediately flew towards the southeast without a word.

"Sigh, this young man, truly. They've only been apart for a few days and can't stand it. He blames me too. Didn't I see that your formation was at its most critical stage and I didn't want to disturb you?"

The little yellow dog shook its head and continued to water the vegetable patch.

Wan Lei was flying rapidly towards the southeast. After ten months of recuperation, his injuries had healed by nearly half, but for an ordinary person, it was still considered a serious injury.

He couldn't fly too fast, only manage to fly with all his might.

The reason for his ominous premonition was that during these ten months, Fang Xiaoyu had been returning later and later. Moreover, in the latter half of the year, she was almost always exhausted and injured when she returned.

Although Fang Xiaoyu refused to give Wan Lei the formation pearls of the Myriad Demon Formation, Wan Lei could guess that the number of thunder beasts inside was increasing.

And they were becoming stronger.

He also knew why Fang Xiaoyu was pushing herself so hard.

She wanted to become stronger, to help him, and not to be a burden. She wanted to be able to stand with him and resist powerful enemies when danger struck again.

He saw Fang Xiaoyu's changes and felt heartbroken.

He had advised Fang Xiaoyu not to push herself so hard, but Fang Xiaoyu was not Qi Manyao; she was not someone he could change with a few words.

The "unreasonable" requests he had made of Fang Xiaoyu seemed to have been agreed to by his persistent pestering.

In fact, he knew it was because Fang Xiaoyu loved him and was willing to do these things.

If she didn't want to do something, even he, Wan Lei, couldn't change her mind.

This time, Wan Lei's ominous premonition grew stronger.

Fang Xiaoyu... something must have happened to her. Otherwise, no matter how strong the fierce beast she encountered was, she should have been able to escape.

Wan Lei searched frantically, repeatedly sending messages to Fang Xiaoyu with his communication jade slip, but received no reply.

The other party... was out of service area.

After wandering around like a headless fly for a long time, Wan Lei forced himself to calm down and began to think.

With Fang Xiaoyu's strength, dealing with ordinary Nascent Soul stage thunder beasts was not a problem. What threatened her would either be extremely powerful Nascent Soul stage thunder beasts, or... Mahayana stage thunder beasts.

But how could he find these powerful thunder beasts?

Wan Lei thought for a long time, then slapped his forehead and immediately used his Thunder's Wrath and Fury to condense a single-horned thunder beast.

"There must be… there must be…"

As expected, after a quarter of an hour, a roar came from the distance, and a tentacle-like thunder beast flew over.

In its confused eyes, there was an emotion of longing.

"Go."

Wan Lei waved his hand, and the single-horned thunder beast pounced towards the octopus-like thunder beast. The octopus-like thunder beast's eight tentacles suddenly grabbed and swallowed the single-horned thunder beast.

Then, Wan Lei casually threw a formation that combined enemy trapping and killing, and trapped the octopus-like thunder beast.

Wan Lei did not rush to attack it but continued to use the lightning of the Thunder Star Sea to condense thunder beasts and feed this octopus-like thunder beast.

The octopus-like thunder beast was extremely happy. This single-horned thunder beast contained divine consciousness, which was an excellent tonic for it.

Soon, a spark of intelligence appeared in the octopus-like thunder beast's eyes.

"Take me to the strongest thunder beast nearby!"

Wan Lei sent a divine thought.

However, the octopus-like thunder beast remained unmoved, still fiddling with its tentacles and demanding thunder beasts from Wan Lei.

"Can't you understand what's good for you?"

Wan Lei was anxious at the moment and didn't have time to coax it slowly.

Immediately, Wan Lei controlled the formation and fiercely attacked the octopus-like thunder beast.

"Ah… Roar…"

The octopus-like thunder beast wailed for a long time.

"Either, you obediently listen to me, and I'll give you thunder beasts to eat. Or, I'll beat you to death right now!"

The octopus-like thunder beast finally gave in, extended a tentacle, and pointed towards the southeast.

"Take me there!"

The man and the beast flew rapidly towards the southeast. Along the way, they encountered many thunder beasts, but they were all low-level ones.

Wan Lei flew with increasing anxiety. The path was filled with seas of thunder. Due to the destruction of the thunder beast tide, there wasn't even a small island. He couldn't even find traces of battles to use as clues.

"Please, don't let anything happen…"

Wan Lei's wounds began to ache faintly.

His injuries were not yet healed, and there was a crack in his dantian, so he couldn't store much lightning power. Fortunately, his innate thunder essence had been cultivated again.

Wan Lei had previously lamented that thunder essence was useless in small battles and would explode in large ones, serving no purpose other than as a trump card.

After flying for a full day and night, Wan Lei finally felt that the lightning power of the Thunder Star Sea began to fluctuate violently.

The path was not wrong.

Wan Lei directly ignored the octopus-like thunder beast and unleashed his fastest speed, flying towards the front.

As his wings cut through the sea of thunder, a series of sonic booms appeared.

Closer,

Closer!

Finally, Wan Lei saw a hundred-zhang-tall thunder beast on the distant horizon, furiously attacking something.

As he got closer, Wan Lei saw the thunder beast's appearance – it was a two-horned Qilin.

This was a thunder beast exuding Mahayana stage aura.

He also saw what it was attacking.

It was a formation. Inside the formation, dozens of thunder beasts were desperately resisting the Qilin thunder beast's attack.

In the center, there was a figure wearing a complete set of pure white mechanical form-fitting battle armor. Wan Lei couldn't see her face, but he knew who it was without a doubt.

Those large wings, that graceful figure. Even if she had transformed into a futuristic mechanical girl, Wan Lei could still recognize her.

They were the only two living beings in the entire Thunder Star Sea.

Seeing the dozens of powerful thunder beasts within the Myriad Demon Formation, he knew how hard this girl had worked for over a year.

Wan Lei, being proficient in formations, could see at a glance that the Myriad Demon Formation was about to collapse.

He did not rush forward like an idiot to confront Fang Xiaoyu, asking why she had gotten into such trouble without telling him, and then they would reenact the cliché of "You go, I stay."

It was useless.

He had to find a way to rescue Fang Xiaoyu.

Direct confrontation was impossible. With his current combat power, he couldn't even defeat a single Nascent Soul stage thunder beast. Fang Xiaoyu could easily crush him, let alone a Mahayana stage thunder beast.

Since direct confrontation was not an option, the only thing Wan Lei could rely on was formations.

Fortunately, before coming here, he had just learned the Sky Net Myriad Forms Formation, a highly difficult formation.

It was perfect for this situation.

Wan Lei had come in a hurry and did not bring the formation, so he had to set it up now.

He took out various materials for setting up formations and began to arrange them at the fastest speed.

On the other side, Fang Xiaoyu had already fallen into an extremely passive situation.

The demonic beasts within the Myriad Demon Formation were dying one by one at a rapid pace.
