Chapter 16 Escape "If this sword dares to fall, I will make you..."
【What are you doing, Yezai?! This is worse than outright robbery!】
Xiao Wang was terrified by her actions. If the dense, overwhelming swarm of bees attacked all at once, even with his small frame, he probably wouldn't last a second.
Why is she so confident?!
Xiao Wang's headless body was covered in tiny question marks ???
"Shut up! The protagonist doesn't need a reason to do things! With a single shudder, they'll obediently offer up honey!" Bai replied in his mind.
Whether Bai was shaken or not is unknown, but the Demon King Bee was shaken first!
"Buzz!"
A piercing buzzing sound tore through the night sky, and the swarm of bees transformed into a black ocean current, sweeping towards the little white tiger on the cliff face, blotting out the sun.
【Aaaaaaah! Run, kid!】 Xiao Wang let out a sharp, explosive sound.
Bai remained unmoved by the winds, maintaining the demeanor of a master.
Just as the black tide approached, golden light flashed at the tips of her claws, and her snow-white figure, like a bolt of lightning, charged fiercely into the swarm of bees.
"Little Green, save me! I'll give you half of my honey!" Bai shouted.
This is the source of Bai's confidence to dare to storm the Demon King's Hive. Xiao Lü was able to directly confront the pressure of the ancient divine beast in the illusion, so dealing with these little bees was a piece of cake for her.
As for the so-called protagonist halo, that's just empty talk. The Demon King Bees don't care what kind of halo you have; they'll still attack you with their poisonous stingers.
"Hmph!" Little Green snorted arrogantly, "Now you know to beg me? You were looking down on me just now."
Even so, a little green sprout still emerged from Bai Ye's head. The bright green sprout grew on the fluffy, round head of the little white tiger, waving in the wind.
A faint green light emanated from the green buds, enveloping the entire white tiger.
A series of clanging sounds rang out as the venomous stingers fired by the Demon Bee were blocked by Little Green's protective shield.
"Little Green, you're great! Next time I'll pick the most nutritious poop for you!" Bai flattered Little Green as he slipped out of the swarm's encirclement.
Ignoring everything else, he lay on the cliff face and began collecting honey into Little Green's space.
Little Green: ......!
If it weren't for the fact that it was located in this guy's dantian, she would definitely kill this foul-mouthed tiger cub.
Bai only took a small portion before stopping; he couldn't be too greedy. Otherwise, if the queen bees moved on, there wouldn't be any good honey to steal.
While Bai was collecting honey, the Demon Bees continued their attack without ceasing. They were helpless; the little creatures' spiritual energy shield was impenetrable.
The most terrifying killing move of the Demon Bee is useless against her, which makes them very uncomfortable.
Bai licked the honey off his claws, punched a demon bee that had gotten too close, waved at the queen bee who hadn't made a move in the sky, and bared his little tiger teeth, saying loudly, "Thank you for the honey. I'm leaving. Can you let your soldiers retreat? If you don't let me leave, I'll continue stealing honey."
The queen bee's body swayed almost imperceptibly in the air, as if she was somewhat...angry.
It let out a sharp screech, and the black waves surrounding Bai Ye retreated as they had come.
Bai waved to the queen bee in the sky again to express his gratitude, and then disappeared in a flash.
[Hey kid, have you ever been hit in your life?]
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who do you think could be so cruel to such a cute little tiger?" Bai said smugly.
Xiao Wang complained: "I think if you weren't cute, you'd definitely get knocked over."
"Nonsense. Being cute is just my least noteworthy advantage. I'm not only cute, I'm also kind, I'm helpful, I'm a shining example from head to toe."
Xiao Wang wanted to say that what she saw wasn't like that at all. This guy was a heartless opportunist, taking advantage of her misfortune and only acting when he saw the benefit. He openly stole her honey, then tried to urinate on the head of the grass that had saved her life, and even stuffed black mud into the mouth of a monster...
There are too many flaws for her to list.
But... watching the snow-white figure leaping and nimbly through the dense forest, Xiao Wang sighed helplessly.
Damn it, even if this little tiger is a rascal, those fluffy round ears, those pink paw pads, that round little belly... she really wants to rub the cub's head!
It'll definitely be soft and fluffy!
While cursing herself for lacking principles, Wang Cuihua wrote a line in the system log: "Yezai is such a cute baby today! He even stole a lot of honey, great!"
......
After a busy night, Bai finally arrived at his destination for the night: the location of the Jackal Tribe.
As dawn broke, the people of the tribe, for some reason, had all woken up and were gathered in the open space in the center of the tribe. The bearded man, whom they had met once before, stood on a high place and was talking loudly about something.
Bai observed for a long time, and seeing that the sky was getting brighter, she felt that she could not delay any longer.
Although it's not the best time to do something bad, well... since we're already here, we can't just leave empty-handed.
Beside Bai Ye, a group of excited monkeys surrounded him, each holding a huge, stinky fruit in its hands.
After Bai Ye and the little monkey chattered on and on, the little monkey cleverly waved its hand, indicating that there was no problem.
With a wave of its hand, the monkeys that had been surrounding them scattered, clutching the stinky fruit, and climbed around the giant tree, quickly encircling the entire jackal tribe.
Once all the monkeys were in place, Bai and the little monkey exchanged a glance, both of them wearing excited, mischievous grins as if they were about to do something naughty.
Bai Ye held a stinky fruit in his paws, then leaped out and jumped directly into the air above the Jackal Tribe.
She held the stinky fruit in one paw, spun it several times in the air like she was throwing a discus, and then threw it.
The stinky fruit shot out and hit the bearded man squarely, then exploded with a "poof".
Before the bearded man could even scream, the crowd erupted in chaos, and as soon as the stench filled the air, people scattered to avoid him.
"You little beast, it's you again!" The bearded man had sharp eyes and spotted the little white tiger, which was completely exposed in the air, at a glance.
Bai made a face at the bearded man and dashed into the village.
"Grab it, kill it!!!" The bearded man's screams echoed throughout the entire tribe.
The scattered crowd began to surround and intercept Bai.
Bai Ye's already agile figure became even faster after Xiao Jin's training. Ordinary people couldn't even touch a hair on her head. She ran around the huge tribe, attracting a chorus of angry curses.
Seeing that most people's attention had been drawn, Bai leaped into the air again and let out a loud and long whistle towards the rising sun!
The whistle was like a signal flare; the moment it sounded, stinky fruits flew out from all directions, densely heading towards the jackal tribe.
Upon seeing so many stinky fruits, the crowd below immediately let out terrified screams.
However, their screams were useless; the rotten fruits fell to the ground, making a series of muffled "plop" sounds, like farts.
In an instant, a foul stench filled the entire jackal tribe, and the sounds of vomiting were incessant.
As for the culprits, they had already made their escape the moment the rotten fruit was smashed. This was something Bai had agreed upon with them; she was worried that the jackal tribe would see the spirit monkey and retaliate against them later.
Only Bai Yehu remained outside the jackal tribe. She squatted on the canopy of a towering ancient tree, watching the fleeing people with a leisurely air.
Everyone who ran out of the tribe was in tears and vomiting as they ran, looking as disheveled as could be.
Bai waited for a long time before finally seeing the bearded man. From a distance of several hundred meters, she threatened the crowd, "If you dare to hurt anyone again, next time it won't be as simple as just dealing with stinky fruit."
"You little beast, you're asking for death!" the burly man with the thick beard roared, throwing out a long knife.
With a "whoosh," the long sword sliced through the air and flew towards Bai Ye.
The long sword seemed incredibly slow to Bai Ye; she didn't move, but simply tilted her head slightly to dodge it.
"So weak!" Bai also grinned and mocked.
Xiao Wang's anxious voice suddenly rang out: "[Oh no, kid! Look at the sky, there are cultivators coming!]"
Without a second thought, Bai turned and fled! She had absolutely no chance of winning against a cultivator now.
In the distance, a small spirit boat was flying swiftly towards the jackal tribe as the morning sun rose.
The burly man with the thick beard saw the approaching spirit boat and immediately perked up, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Brother, don't come any closer! That little beast has smashed the tribe with stinky fruit, it stinks to high heaven! Brother, quickly take down that little beast!"
At the very front of the spirit boat stood two young men dressed in blue robes. The young man in the lead bore a striking resemblance to the burly man with a thick beard, and he also had a beard, though his mustache was small.
The man with the mustache's eyes flashed like lightning, quickly locking onto the white figure darting swiftly through the dense forest.
"Please inform Uncle Qian, junior brother. I'll be right back." With that, the man with the mustache transformed into a streak of green and chased after him on his flying sword.
He was extremely fast and quickly caught up with Bai Ye.
"You little beast, don't run away!" The mustachioed man's fierce shout was like a thunderclap, making people dizzy.
Bai Ye's steps faltered for a moment. Was this the power of a cultivator?
Indeed, very strong!
"Fireball, go!" the mustachioed man shouted.
In an instant, three crimson fireballs tore through the morning mist, roaring in with scorching heat.
"Dodge to the left!" Xiao Wang's voice was almost split in two.
Bai also pushed off the ground with its hind paws and rolled to the side just as the fireball was about to hit, narrowly avoiding it.
With a deafening roar, three fireballs fell almost simultaneously, and the shockwave from the explosions sent her flying.
"Ptooey, ptooey." Bai spat out the dust that had flown into her mouth. Luckily, Xiao Wang reminded her at the crucial moment, otherwise her beautiful fur would have been burned.
When the man with the mustache saw that Bai Ye was still able to stand up, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. His figure, which had been rapidly approaching, stopped dozens of meters away from Bai Ye.
He carefully examined the intelligent little white tiger in front of him, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes: "You little thing, you do have some ability. It would be a pity to kill you like this. Why don't you come back with me and be my mount?"
"You son of a bitch, take this kick!" Bai roared, and the entire tiger vanished from its spot in an instant.
The man with the mustache instinctively parried with his sword, but the expected attack did not come, and the little tiger leaped out once again.
He chuckled and darted after it, saying, "Little thing, do you think you can escape? Come back with me and be my mount."
Bai was also somewhat annoyed. Oh no, this person was much faster than her. She couldn't run towards the tribe, or she would bring disaster to her mother and the others.
[Hey kid, why don't you run towards the female lead?]
"No, Zhong Jiuli is still injured. He got himself into trouble, so he should deal with it himself. I'm the protagonist, who am I afraid of? I'll fight him!"
"Take this!" Bai shouted, turning around to fight back.
She instantly appeared in front of the man with the mustache.
The moment the claws fell, golden light flashed. Under the golden light, the little mustache's protective spiritual energy was as fragile as tofu, breaking with a single scratch. The claws continued their momentum, leaving three deep, bone-revealing wounds on the little mustache's chest.
Bai was overjoyed to see this. This golden light could actually break through the protective spiritual energy of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. No wonder Little Gold said it could fight beyond one's level.
The man with the mustache cried out in pain, his figure flashing away, instantly putting distance between himself and Bai.
He stood at a distance, his gaze towards Bai Ye carrying a hint of ferocity. "It seems your bloodline is extraordinary, capable of breaking through my protective spiritual energy."
The man with the mustache abandoned his initial contempt and swung his longsword, unleashing a burst of sword light from afar.
"Instant Step Sky-Splitting Claw!" Bai shouted, swinging out his claw again, colliding with the sword light in mid-air.
The claw marks formed by spiritual energy only blocked the sword light for a moment before dissipating in the air. The sword light continued its momentum and landed directly on Bai Ye's chest. A faint green light flashed across her chest, negating the attack.
"So you have a treasure protecting you. It seems we made the right decision to come home." The man with the mustache sounded excited. He waved his hand and summoned another row of fireballs, which rained down on Bai Ye like a machine gun.
The deafening roar of explosions echoed through the mountains and forests, startling flocks of birds into flight. Many low-level demonic beasts cowered in fear within their caves.
Bai also fled in a sorry state. After that attack, the man with the mustache didn't give her a chance to get close, and she could only passively take the beating.
The intense running, coupled with being blasted into the air by fireballs from time to time, took a tremendous toll on Bai's stamina. Bai also felt a metallic taste in his throat, and his chest ached with every breath.
Even though Xiao Lü would occasionally shield her from fatal wounds, Bai still suffered some injuries.
"Boom!" Another large fireball landed nearby, and Bai was blasted hundreds of meters away before crashing into the bushes in a sorry state.
Before she could stand up, the man with the mustache rushed in, his long sword flashing out and aimed straight for Bai Ye's heart.
The moment the sword pierced the snow-white fur, the world seemed to freeze.
The man with the mustache found that his longsword could no longer advance, not because it was blocked, but because the entire world had fallen into stillness.
"If this sword dares to fall, I will show you what regret truly means!"
A familiar, cold, and fierce female voice spoke from above, each word carrying a pressure that could shake mountains and rivers.
