Chapter 310: The Escape Badge and the Plan, The Shock Brought by Mona's Return
Moss Cottage Shelter.
After a flash of red light, a figure tumbled onto the floor.
*Pfft—*
Xiao Wu spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed directly to the ground.
Summoning his last ounce of strength, he activated the [Ceasefire Token] before losing consciousness, entering the ceasefire period.
Immediately after, Xiao Wu could no longer hold on, toppled over, and passed out.
He had no idea how much time had passed.
Only then did Xiao Wu slowly open his eyes, gradually regaining consciousness.
The experience of the previous invasion war replayed in his mind like a fleeting panorama.Checking his physical condition, despite being mentally prepared, Xiao Wu still gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Damn that Yu Yuan..."
At this moment, Xiao Wu's entire body was severely emaciated. His originally noble and dignified physique had become like a desiccated corpse, abnormally hunched and disheveled. His hair was sparse, his eyes bulged out, and his fangs were exposed, making him look exactly like a malevolent ghost.
All of this was due to his blood burning. That issue, however, wasn't the main problem.
Xiao Wu's biggest problem was that the loss of his Primordial Blood exceeded his expectations. This was the price he had to pay for using that Blood-colored Badge to forcibly escape the invasion war.
Furthermore, the crystallized blood that Xiao Xi had given him earlier had been completely consumed while fighting the Werewolf. It could be said that Xiao Wu had suffered a crushing defeat in this invasion war.
Not only had he exhausted all the trump cards he had painstakingly accumulated, but he had even emptied his family's savings. One could say he had returned to square one overnight.
Without time for further thought, Xiao Wu staggered up from the ground, walked to the warehouse area within the shelter, took out a bottle of shimmering fluorescent liquid, and gulped it down.
As this liquid entered his body, Xiao Wu's corpse-like physique rapidly plumped up, like dried fungus soaking in water.
After finishing the bottle, although his physical condition couldn't compare to before, he was at least out of the danger zone.
Looking at the empty bottle in his hand, Xiao Wu felt a pang of heartache.
"800,000... 800,000 survival points worth of Blood Brew, and I just drank it all."
"Damn that Yu Yuan!" The image of that Werewolf flashed through Xiao Wu's mind again.
Now that his body was out of danger.
Xiao Wu began to assess his losses.
The first and foremost was naturally the survival points. The victor of an invasion war receives 50% of the loser's survival point balance as spoils of war.
Xiao Wu was naturally aware of this. He checked only to give himself closure.
But when he clearly saw his survival point balance, he suddenly furrowed his brow.
"What's going on? Why do I only have 970,000 survival points left?"
Xiao Wu remembered his survival point balance very clearly. Before setting out, he had 2.43 million. Even after losing 50%, he should still have over 1.2 million.
But now the balance was short by over 200,000...
He immediately guessed that the Yu Yuan Shelter possessed an item that increased the spoils percentage.
Once this thought occurred to him, Xiao Wu's heart ached again, and he couldn't help but curse once more.
"Damn that Yu Yuan."
Xiao Wu felt this Yu Yuan was just too bizarre, as if specifically designed to counter him.
From the moment he launched the invasion war against this Yu Yuan, not a single thing had gone smoothly.
In his private messages, Xiao Wu also saw a message sent by his older sister, Xiao Xi, several hours ago.
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Finish the fight, remember to tell me!]
The sending time coincided exactly with when he had just entered Yu Yuan's world.
Although it was somewhat embarrassing, Xiao Wu understood that this matter couldn't possibly be hidden from his older sister, so he immediately sent a message.
[Moss Cottage Shelter: Sis, I'm back!]
Soon, Xiao Xi's message came through, filled with strong surprise.
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: That fast? It seems that person isn't very powerful after all! So, did you turn them into a Descendant, or did you kill them?]
[Moss Cottage Shelter: Sis, Yu Yuan has already joined the Wolf Clan, and his strength exceeds our imagination. I... was beaten back by him.]
After sending this message, there was a long silence from the other side.
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: You mean to say, you only went over for a few hours and were forced to use the 'Escape Badge' to flee back? You're truly useless!]
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: What about the Blood Crystal I gave you? What about Bat Shadow? Weren't you also bringing the Blood Slave Guard and a Spiritual Creature?]
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: With that setup, at the Rock Rank, if not walking sideways, you should be nearly invincible. Don't tell me your Blood Slave Guard is all dead too!]
Xiao Wu looked at the messages sent by Xiao Xi.
A trace of helplessness appeared on his face.
[Moss Cottage Shelter: Sis, here's what happened...]
Xiao Wu then recounted everything in detail, from accidentally falling into the encirclement of an elite Thug faction upon entering Yu Yuan's world, to his subsequent escape and battles.
Xiao Xi also understood the entire sequence of events.
The anger in her heart immediately dissipated by more than half.
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: So it seems, the backer behind that Yu Yuan is indeed very likely to be a high-ranking member of the Wolf Clan. During this time, you focus on recovering your strength as quickly as possible!
I estimate that Yu Yuan won't let you off so easily. Next time, he'll likely actively launch an invasion against you. Tell me when your ceasefire period is about to end.
I will have someone launch an invasion against you. That way, we can prevent Yu Yuan from initiating an invasion war against you, and also help you clear the surrounding threats together.]
Seeing Xiao Xi's message, Xiao Wu showed a look of joy.
This was precisely what he had been most worried about just now.
Not only was his Primordial Source damaged, but his Blood Slave Guard was also decimated, leaving him as the sole commander.
He felt extremely insecure.
What Xiao Xi suggested was indeed the best method currently available.
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: As for that Yu Yuan, don't concern yourself with him for now. I'll think of other ways to deal with him.]
Xiao Wu felt somewhat indignant inside.
Recalling the entire process, he always felt that this invasion had been far too unlucky.
However, what's done is done. Xiao Wu didn't dwell on it further.
He went deep into the shelter, where there was a blood pool one meter in diameter.
In the center of the blood pool, the blood formed a small fountain, spraying a column of water about half a meter high. At the top of the column, a dark red badge of ancient design floated.
Xiao Wu watched the badge bobbing up and down in the water column, his expression gloomy.
"The [Escape Badge] is damaged. To condense another one will take at least half a month. However, in seven days, the person arranged by my older sister will come. At that time, I can have him help me gather some materials, which might speed up the process a bit."

When Mona returned to Johnck Zoo, everyone in the Aurora Animal Assistance Association was stunned.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Send all these corpses to the dissection room for decomposition and research. Take that lizard to the Spiritual Creature Laboratory and confirm its spirituality release situation as soon as possible."
After arranging for the Thugs, Mona quickly entered the underground command center and met Miller the Missionary and the Saint, Jiu Feng.
"Zoe, what is this situation? Weren't you supposed to investigate the battle situation in District 13? Where did that lizard come from? And who are those strange-looking people?"
Faced with Miller's confusion, Mona raised the USB drive in her hand.
"Teacher, this is the combat footage I retrieved from the Black Shield Police Department. There might be something inside that interests you..."
