Chapter 181: Unknown Creature
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just as Lin Bai was hesitating whether or not to leave, those eyes gradually dimmed, as if the unknown creature was moving away from him. At the same time, the sound of the chains gradually became softer and quieter.
The darkness not far away seemed to be able to devour everything, engulfing everything within. Lin Bai hesitated for a moment, but still chose to take a step forward. Just as he was about to say something, a black shadow rushed over.
This thing came too quickly, and Lin Bai was completely unprepared. He hurriedly turned his body to the side and did so just in time. A slight p.r.i.c.kling pain was transmitted from his left cheek, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
He touched it and felt that it was slightly wet. He had not been able to dodge it just now and suffered a small injury.
Before Lin Bai could clearly see what that black light was, a sharp wind attacked once again. This time, he was prepared. He felt a cold aura brush past his shoulder, as if it had come from h.e.l.l. It was so cold that his bones and blood were frozen into ice.
Lin Bai frowned. He sensed that this aura was not simple. When the black thing saw that its attack had missed, it immediately became distorted. Even the air seemed to be affected.
It was clearly still in the southeast, but in the blink of an eye, that thing had already arrived in front of him. It turned out that it could still move and ignore the distance between them.
It almost hit him again. Lin Bai barely dodged it, and he didn’t dare to let his guard down. After a few rounds, he still couldn’t see what the h.e.l.l was attacking him.
It was a vague black shadow, and the surroundings were dark. It was almost one with the environment, and it was extremely fast. Lin Bai found it difficult to deal with it.
“Squeak squeak!”
With Little Treasure’s warning, Lin Bai suddenly turned around and jumped to the side in an incredible way. The black thing brushed past his arm again, and the piece of his skin that was almost touched felt as if it was frozen in an instant. It became numb.
If it was not for Little Treasure’s warning, Lin Bai would have suffered a lot of injuries this time. The thing saw that Lin Bai had dodged its attacks one after another. Therefore, it began to appear more and more randomly. Its attacks became more and more fierce.
Just as Lin Bai was dealing with the creature, he didn’t see two large blood-colored lanterns appear in the darkness again. The unknown creature from before had actually returned once again.
Unfortunately, Lin Bai was entangled by the creature in front of him, so he didn’t notice the danger that was right in front of him.
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
Little Treasure screamed crazily. Lin Bai suddenly turned around, and a pair sharp claws were already right in front of him. The cold light was so cold that it seemed as if it could snap his neck in the next second. At this moment, it was too late to dodge. The black thing behind him was also charging at him.
There were tigers and leopards in front and wolves behind. It was too late to dodge. Lin Bai had no choice. Just as the sharp claws were about to fall, they seemed to be blocked by something and couldn’t take continue forward.
“Buzz!”
The sharp claws exerted force again. This time, there was a m.u.f.fled sound, as if they had hit something indestructible.
The thing on Lin Bai’s body slowly revealed itself. Ink-colored patterns crisscrossed and intersected, vaguely forming one whole piece. It was actually the shape of a turtle sh.e.l.l.
He let out a long sigh and made up his mind to go back later to give Little Black a good reward. “Fortunately, I was prepared.”
It turned out that Lin Bai had long known that it would not be so easy to search the City Lord’s Estate at night. Who knew what dangers might appear along the way, so he had long been prepared to let Little Black transform into armor and cover his body. And this indeed worked now.
“Boom!”
Another loud sound rang out. It turned out that the attack of the Black Shadow landed. It could be said that it was a pincer attack from both the front and back. Even though Lin Bai had Little Black’s defense, at this moment, he could not hold on any longer. His face suddenly turned pale.
At this moment, Little Black armor had only a thin layer left. It was as if it was in danger of shattering at any moment. If this continued, both Little Black and his life would be in great danger.
“Swis.h.!.+”
A sharp sword light streaked across the air. Ruoshui sword had appeared out of thin air. Lin Bai suddenly slashed forward, instantly setting off a huge white spiritual light, as if a huge wave had been set off in a calm ocean. It almost seemed as if it was on par with the surrounding darkness.
It was as if one could vaguely hear a m.u.f.fled groan, and immediately following that, the pair of scarlet eyes suddenly dimmed, as if it had received a heavy blow. It could not help but take a few steps back, but its sharp claws were still firmly covering it. It carried a ruthless and resolute temperament.
It was as if it would not stop until it had wrung Lin Bai’s neck.
The Black Shadow also fell into a state of frenzy, and its attacks became more and more violent. However, Lin Bai discovered that it seemed to have lost its direction and was chaotic.
Recalling his attack on the pair of scarlet eyes just now, could it be that there was some connection between the two? If one creature was injured, it would also affect the other one.
Provoking the black shadow seemed to put Lin Bai in an even more dangerous situation, but because it was confused, Lin Bai found the right time. Another sharp sword light flashed, and he finally found an opening and broke free from the shackles between the pair of claws.
After that, Little Black finally couldn’t hold on anymore. All of Lin Bai’s armor fell off, and it could be seen that Little Black had also suffered a lot of injuries. Lin Bai hurriedly put it back into the pet dimension.
As the gravel fell, it seemed that the fight had accidentally spread to other places. Lin Bai didn’t bother to tangle with the creature and hurriedly ran toward the exit.
If this continued, it would attract a lot of people.
Fortunately, the creature seemed to be limited by this place and couldn’t run too far, which allowed Lin Bai to finally escape.
