Chapter 172
Xiao Bai flicked out the silver needles hidden in his sleeve, which pierced the surrounding wood. At the same time, he crouched low and jumped onto the treetop, already wielding the new broken blade.
The moment the silver needle pierced through, all three large trees were pierced, and then the earth's crust began to shift, causing the surrounding forest to collapse on a large scale.
According to the solo strategy guide, the way to deal with this guy should be to use pulling and restraint to fight back.
But now it's not the disadvantageous situation in terms of strategy. The current situation is very good, there are many teammates, and it's still our home field.
In situations like this, one should be flexible and use items to directly alter the terrain, then leverage numerical superiority to wear down and defeat the enemy.
The church analyzed that guy's abilities and found he wasn't a difficult opponent. They had a complete strategy guide to subdue him.
Little White lay on the newly risen rock wall, then bounced in the air watching the tanuki standing firmly on the ground.
This thing needs to aim. Even if its thinking speed allows it to launch more than three hundred slashes in an instant, maintaining high precision becomes difficult once it exceeds the distance.
Although Xiaobai didn't think he could handle it, he was, after all, a disciple of the saint. If he surrendered with such a low level of skill, wouldn't that be a loss of face for his master?
She fired her divine bow in rapid succession. This weapon, which required charging, was already prepared in mid-air. The four attacks blocked the sonic blades, leaving only a flash of light that severed her own thigh.
However, this is within the calculation; she cannot block all attacks, but she can choose the method with the least damage.
The pain in her legs made her close her eyes involuntarily, and when she opened them again, they were a deep blue.
The unrestrained release of magic healed the wound within three seconds. This situation of compensating for a mistake with greater expenditure of energy could only happen a maximum of three more times. She still had some magic reserves, not much, but enough to put her in a fighting chance.
When Xiaobai landed, he fell to the ground, not because he couldn't land, but because he couldn't dissipate the kinetic energy. He could only use the method of flattening himself to avoid breaking his bones. At the same time, he had already completed his recovery when he bounced up, and his body was lowered to half-body position. He then fired a fully charged arrow that pierced the sun.
Although he didn't expect this attack to be fatal, Xiaobai didn't think it could easily block the full force of his bow.
The ground before them shattered and began to crack, the entire area centered on the target collapsing. An unknown amount of magic was poured into the arrow, and for the first time, the tanuki managed to block the sneak attack.
The force was forcibly stopped, but it only rubbed off some brown hairs on the palm.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's so hard!" Little White was dumbfounded, looking at the shattered stone wall behind it.
It used absolutely no skill, relying solely on a high concentration of magic to halt its kinetic energy. This meant it took the attack without reservation, emerging unscathed, and seemingly without even considering itself a threat.
I'm so angry.
Little White jumped away from its original position again, because the ground was cut into several pieces in the next moment.
Small size doesn't mean fragile; on the contrary, it means incredibly tough. Just as a spider's web is tougher than metal, this creature has compressed an immense amount of magic within its body, making its hardness likely among the highest in the world. (First published on 78zw.m.78zw.)
Suddenly, the raccoon took a step forward, then turned and punched the thrown giant blade. At the same time, a slender scythe bit into its neck like a snake.
But the blade only left a wound on its neck that was practically nothing. It didn't even think about treating it. Instead, it lowered its body, spun around, and punched her wrist, which was covering her face.
That guy was blasted more than thirty meters away.
"Are you stupid?" Xiaobai couldn't help but curse out, looking at the fire goat that had gotten up from the ground covered in dust.
If she didn't know the other party was a demon king, it would be understandable. But in the current situation, Xiao Bai thought it was already a testament to her good temper that she didn't turn into indescribable fragments in front of him. (78 Chinese website updates fastest on PC:)
She wondered why the tanuki hadn't activated its ability earlier; its domain was undoubtedly a guaranteed kill zone. How could there be a space without sound? Especially in a battle like this, it possessed arguably the most precise cutting ability within its domain.
If it were me, the mistakes she made just now would have been enough to kill her three times over.
"If you're going to protect that guy, take him somewhere else." Hanik looked at the fairy in the sky with displeasure. "If you do this again next time, I won't hold back."
The celestial fairy said nothing, only bowing deeply in apology. Meanwhile, Deedris climbed out of the tree trunk, rubbing her head in confusion as to what had happened.
She genuinely didn't know what kind of abilities this guy possessed, but experience told her that Tanuki had a great chance of winning if she attacked from behind.
But no one told her that there was a raccoon dog that could destroy everything around her in an instant.
Her collar was tugged, but she didn't turn around. She could tell from the scent that Xiaobai had come to her vicinity. When she looked up, she met Xiaobai's slightly angry blue eyes.
"Run!" Xiaobai said, taking a handkerchief out of her pocket, filling it with holy magic crystals, and handing it to Dedeline.
The man left a shallow wound on Deedri's neck, as if to remind her that she had already been killed once. Having escaped death, she should run as fast as she could.
"What are you doing again?" Dedeline looked at Little White with some confusion. The guy really looked disheveled, covered in black mud. Even his signature white tail was dirty.
"I guess you're courting death," Xiaobai said after a moment's hesitation, looking up at Hanik, who was watching him from a distance.
There were also green sprites blocking their way.
The green fairy reached out her hand in mid-air to stop it, and at the same time, the surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and ice spikes appeared all around her.
“They are all guests of our Spirit Forest,” the fairy said. “Please do not…”
Before she could even finish speaking, the fairy was sliced into dozens of pieces. Her petite body smashed open a mist of blood.
And those ice spikes have all been leveled.
"What a nagging fellow." It looked at the dead fairy with displeasure, while the monsters that pounced on it were instantly shredded.
It took a step forward, and its cloak suddenly burst into flames, engulfing it entirely. The flames were black, and as they appeared, long, thin horns sprouted from its head.
And the wings that stretched out from behind were hard bone wings, looking both eerie and ferocious on the body of a raccoon.
“It seems it wants to protect you two.” Hanik looked at the two people who had stood up and were facing it, their weapons already gripped tightly again. “You have half a minute to get out of here. I’ll take you away in a bit. I’m doing a thorough cleaning now and don’t want to get into a fight with outsiders.”
“What if we…” Deedri said with dissatisfaction, but before she could finish, two weapons were crossed in front of her, and a huge crack was cut open in the ground in front of her. She was so shocked that she knocked down several tree trunks before she could regain her balance.
“To put it another way, leave now, or die here,” Hanik said, looking at the wary Little White. “I don’t have the same temper as that weakling.”
"Although I had long heard that the most short-tempered elf was a small one who looked like a raccoon, seeing him in person made me realize that the rumors were indeed true." Xiaobai took out a sign from his pocket, put it in his hand, and threw it over: "This is the church's order. We are protected by the church, and you should not threaten us like this."
The sign fell to the middle, and the tanuki remained motionless, staring at the sign that had smashed into the ground.
"You mean you're protected by the church?" it whispered, as if confirming with Little White.
Xiao Bai didn't understand what this guy meant by saying that, and just wanted to nod to confirm.
But before he could even raise his head, a tremendous wind pressure roared in front of him.
Flames shot skyward, and Deedri, enveloped in scorching flames, stood in front of Little White. It should be said that she was struck by the slashing wind blade the moment she charged in from behind.
This time she was not repelled. In her flame state, her body transitioned from a physical form to a semi-spiritual one. In this state, physical impacts would be directly neutralized.
In this state of invincibility, she couldn't be knocked back, and she forcibly withstood this attack, making her feel like she wanted to vomit blood.
"Bai!" she shouted to bring Xiaobai back to her senses. The fox was shocked by the sudden burst of magic and had a headache, but she recovered and disappeared from the spot.
Dedeline stepped on the ground, the surrounding soil scorched, and the guy's expression was like looking at a dead person.
The atmosphere completely changed; the spiders stopped rushing upwards to their deaths and instead huddled to one side in fear.
"We are all monsters, why should we be protected by the church?" it said softly, its voice tinged with sadness. It looked at Deedri, the girl bracing herself for the next assault.
If he wanted to, she would be dead by now. Doesn't this guy realize he's being merciful?
As Hanik thought this, his expression gradually stiffened.
I'm especially irritable today. For no reason at all.
Although I was originally supposed to stay here to deal with the bug problem, I haven't been able to completely clean it up. Except now, I suddenly feel like there's something here that I need to check on.
Then, out of the blue, they discovered that there were two humanoid monsters here, and these two monsters even claimed that they were protected by the church.
This is truly absurd; I've never seen anything like it before.
One of them was trying to snipe me again. Hadn't they learned their lesson? I wouldn't give her the chance.
The sound in the space was protected by the mutated blade, which formed a protective layer around it, so that any attack would be cut into pieces before it could even make contact.
Hanik is a demon king, and a demon king who has lived for hundreds of years. His understanding of his own abilities and this place is far beyond what these two guys can match in terms of experience.
If they really wanted to win, those two guys would have been dead long ago.
That fire goat charged again. Didn't the fox tell her not to charge directly into her territory?
I feel looked down upon, so this time, I'll cut off my limbs as punishment.
Hanik thought to himself, and then, as usual, controlled the sound that came out.
Then, several sharp blades swung towards Deedri. He was careful not to kill her outright.
But you have to pay the price for provoking yourself.
He frowned, then in another direction, tens of millions of blades simultaneously whistled away.
Because Deedri, who was originally halfway through her slash, suddenly disappeared, all four blades missed their mark.
And the direction that I set as my goal has somehow been invaded by a monster.
After regaining her balance, Deedri felt a little dizzy. She lay on the ground, raised her head, and looked at the boy standing in front of her.
"Crimson?" she asked, somewhat puzzled, because the man's demeanor had changed drastically in just a short separation.
It still had a human form, but sharp spikes protruded from the cervical vertebrae on its back, and its four spider legs were twisted and grotesque, resembling either stone or rotting stone. Its hair was somewhat messy and spread out behind its neck.
A strange pattern appeared on his forehead, and his eyes had turned from black to red, making him look like a demon.
Magic coalesced on his body into simple armor, just like his fellow beings who wore armor.
The patterns on her head connected to her eyes and then spread to her neck like tear stains, haphazardly wrapping around her neck as if she were wearing a collar.
If it weren't for the many similar elements, Deedris probably wouldn't have recognized it and would have thought it was something similar to a little spider.
He nodded, which was his response to Deedris's attack.
"Oh?" Hanik looked at the guy with a smile on his lips.
This is somewhat interesting.
In an instant, he used his secondary limbs to deflect all his attacks. Although the power of his attacks was indeed reduced due to the distance, this combat skill is still commendable.
"Hey, you're out too early!" Suddenly, Lilith also transformed into a human not far away and shouted at Chris, "You shouldn't be in such a hurry right now!"
Spider-Man shook his head, indicating he didn't want to stay there any longer. He then took the pair of short scythes from behind him and swung them to Deedri's sides before she could even understand what was happening. He raised his hand, and a slender black spear materialized in his palm.
This is Noni, which has transformed into an incredibly hard weapon.
“Senior, we have no grudge against you.” Spider-Man stood at an angle, holding a gun in one hand with the gun pointed at the ground, looking straight ahead: “If you can agree to let this matter end in a fight between us, I would be extremely grateful.”
“That depends on you.” Hanik unfastened his cloak and took out a long bamboo stick from underneath.
"Thank you." The little spider finished speaking, and its forward stride was concealed by its high speed, giving it the initiative, and its stings were as dense as a light rain.
