A cloud of deadly poison finally blocked the onslaught of the vampire bats!
Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, cast Stone Skin, Carapace Shield, and Lightning Shield on himself, then collected his other spirit蛊, mounted the Seven-Star Beetle, and flew towards Sky City at full speed.
The bats that followed were now only a little over a hundred, a number Wang Xiao didn't even consider a threat.
Just then, the system suddenly issued a warning: “Ding! Warning! Night Demon Bats are rapidly approaching…”
Wang Xiao almost peed his pants, desperately urging the Seven-Star Beetle to fly faster.
Master, oh Master, are you reliable or not?
You actually let Luo Xiao escape!
Now he's coming after me again, what am I going to do!
Wang Xiao complained as he fled!
In fact, Sun Hong had indeed tried his best!
Although he had severely injured Luo Xiao, he still managed to escape.
Luo Xiao's nickname 'Night Emperor' wasn't for nothing. At night, he could transform into a Night Demon Bat at any time,遁into the darkness to escape, and almost no one could stop him!
Bats were already incredibly fast, and his level was far higher, so Wang Xiao's Seven-Star Beetle couldn't outfly him at all.
A moment later, a giant bat swept across the sky. Wang Xiao didn't even have time to react before he was grabbed and flown into the high altitude.
What Luo Xiao was most concerned about was still the Moon Soul Stone. After he escaped, the first thing he did was use the bat swarm to find Wang Xiao's location, then chase after him to capture him.
The Night Demon Bat grabbed Wang Xiao and flew away, and Luo Xiao's voice actually came from its mouth: “Wang Xiao, quickly give me the Moon Soul Stone, or I'll kill you right now!”
Wang Xiao wasn't flustered at this point. He chuckled and said: “Senior Brother, if I give you the Moon Soul Stone, I'm afraid I'll die even faster! We're all brothers, why don't we make a deal? You remove the curse for me, then let me go, and I'll give you the Moon Soul Stone… Let me state first, the Moon Soul Stone isn't on me, I've hidden it. If you kill me, you'll never find it!”
“Wang Xiao, you probably don't understand the methods of a蛊master enough. I'm best at finding a蠱master's secrets. Once you've been tortured and become my slave, you'll obediently tell me everything you know!”
“Jie jie jie jie…” (Laughter in bat form!)
As Luo Xiao was laughing maniacally, a huge silver beam, dozens of meters long, suddenly slammed into the Night Demon Bat!
“Ah…!”
Luo Xiao let out a miserable scream. The Night Demon Bat was suddenly attacked, and its claws unconsciously loosened, causing Wang Xiao's body to fall downwards like a meteor.
“Who is it! How dare you sneak attack me!”
The bat Luo Xiao had transformed into roared angrily as it chased after Wang Xiao.
A silver light bloomed from below, and a centipede over ten meters long soared into the air, catching Wang Xiao!
The appearance of this strange centipede immediately amazed Wang Xiao!
Centipedes were originally ferocious and terrifying poisonous insects, but this one was different!
It was too beautiful!
Its body was transparent, as if completely composed of light. It had nine clearly visible spirit power nodes within its body, forming a mysterious Big Dipper pattern (Note ①).
Starlight occasionally floated on the centipede's body, flickering like dancing notes.
It had no wings, but it could fly freely!
It looked like an extremely unstable light, but a vast amount of power surged within it!
Wang Xiao was very familiar with the power on the centipede, because his Seven-Star Beetle used this power: the Power of the Stars!
The system also issued a timely prompt: “Ding, discovered unknown level spirit蛊, 'Starlight Centipede'…”
(Note ②)
Starlight Centipede!
Wang Xiao sensed a familiar aura on it!
At this moment, the Night Demon Bat swooped down again to grab Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao quickly hugged the Starlight Centipede's body.
The Starlight Centipede raised its head, its body arched into a graceful S-shape. Facing the Night Demon Bat swooping over, it was fearless. It opened its mouth and spewed a breath mixed with boundless starlight at the Night Demon Bat!
“Ah——!”
The Night Demon Bat let out another shrill scream. It flapped its wings and appeared hundreds of meters away.
Its body was still burning with the fire of the stars, dragging a long tail, disappearing like a comet into the endless night sky.
Luo Xiao's Night Demon Bat was severely injured in one encounter and fled!
Wang Xiao quickly shouted: “Auntie, is that you?”
“Hmph!”
A clear and cold snort came from the night sky.
Wang Xiao had already confirmed that the one who saved him was Jin Jingxuan, Yan Ruoyun's mother!
The Starlight Centipede shook its body and threw Wang Xiao off its back, sending him straight towards the ground.
Crap!
That's over a hundred meters!
Someone could die from that fall!
Wang Xiao quickly tried to save himself. When he was captured by Luo Xiao just now, the Seven-Star Beetle ran away.
He had no choice but to release the Giant Stone Bullfrog. This guy was thick-skinned and fleshy, even fatter than Zhong Li, perfect as a meat cushion.
“Bang!”
The Giant Stone Bullfrog slammed heavily on the ground, letting out a miserable croak.
Wang Xiao on its back, on the other hand, was completely fine!
Wang Xiao got off the toad and saw Jin Jingxuan riding the Starlight Centipede in front of him.
Wang Xiao quickly showered her with flattery: “Auntie, you're still the best to me! My master is unreliable, he actually failed to kill Luo Xiao, and instead let him come over and almost kill me! Auntie, you're really amazing, you drove Luo Xiao away with one move! Thank you, Auntie!”
Jin Jingxuan said: “Luo Xiao is known as the 'Night Emperor', no one can kill him at night! Alright, Wang Xiao, you can be considered safe now, I'm leaving!”
Wang Xiao quickly shouted: “Don't go, Auntie! I still have something to tell you!”
“Speak!”
“Um, Auntie, you said in a dream before that you lived in Tianyuan Sea, I don't know if it's true!”
“Correct!”
“Well, um, I'm planning to find a place to refine蛊recently, I need to find a closed environment, without any interference, preferably a deserted island! Auntie, I want to stay at your place for a while, is that okay?”
Jin Jingxuan refused without even thinking: “No!”
Wang Xiao used his ultimate move: “Ruoyun is going with me!”
Strike the snake at its seven inches, Wang Xiao understood this point perfectly!
Jin Jingxuan's weakness was Yan Ruoyun!
Sure enough, as soon as Yan Ruoyun was mentioned, Jin Jingxuan's tears started flowing like a flood.
Being able to spend some time with her daughter was something she dreamed of.
She wiped away her tears and shook her head: “No… I still can't recognize Ruoyun yet, it's not safe for her!”
Wang Xiao said: “I'm not asking you to recognize her, I'm just taking her to stay at your place for a while, you can just pretend you don't know her, and after I refine the蛊, I'll bring her back!”
Jin Jingxuan thought about it carefully and nodded: “Okay, I have many deserted islands there, you can go!”
Wang Xiao was overjoyed: “Then please wait here for a few days, Auntie. I'll go back and prepare the materials for refining the蛊, say goodbye to my master, and then take Ruoyun with me! But, Ruoyun's father might not let her go…”
Jin Jingxuan said: “I will communicate with her father!”
Wang Xiao nodded: “Then there's no problem!”
Note ①: The Big Dipper has nine stars, but because two of them don't shine usually and can't be seen, people often say the Big Dipper has seven stars!
Note ②: Starlight Centipede, the concept was provided by the King in Yellow—Hastur. The author referred to World of Warcraft's 'Starlight Dragon' design. Those interested can search for 'Starlight Dragon Ysondre', it's very beautiful!
