Pink mist, accompanied by a peculiar fragrance, continuously spread outwards with Xi Jian as its center.
An uncontrollable desire gradually accumulated, and the remnants of rationality were constantly eroded.
Qi Xiao and the other two, seeing the unfavorable situation, retreated one after another, creating distance and moving out of the range covered by the pink mist.
“With your strength, you still want to exorcise spirits?”
“She was intentionally holding back. I apologize, I misjudged her.”
Gao Bie replied, trying to suppress the agitation within her.
“What do we do now?”
“It’s already eroding Xi Jian’s body. If it completes its transformation, Xi Jian’s soul…”
“Speak!”
“It will probably be pushed out of this body.”
Damn it.
What about my Arrival Reward module then? No, I must stop this guy!
“So, you mean I can kill her now without worry, right?”
“Otherwise, this body will be hers sooner or later?”
Gao Bie nodded.
“There’s one more very important thing.”
“We need to get back the swallowed Spirit Staff and set up the Soul Gathering Array again.”
“Otherwise, the moment Xi Jian dies, her soul might leave this place directly.”
Qi Xiao nodded, indicating he understood.
As they conversed, ‘Xi Jian’ leisurely followed, as if strolling.
And with her, the peculiar fragrance also spread.
Qi Xiao raised his gun and fired.
However, she was becoming increasingly proficient in controlling her body, able to stretch and fold it at will.
She was soft and boneless, resembling an octopus.
Almost all of Qi Xiao’s bullets were dodged, and even if a few hit, they had little effect.
‘Xi Jian’s smile grew more rampant, revealing a morbid twistedness.
“Come on, if you entertain me, I’ll let you become a part of me.”
Seeing the unfavorable situation, K quickly stepped forward to block.
He thrust out his sharp claws, pouncing on ‘Xi Jian’ and aiming for her heart.
But the tentacles on ‘Xi Jian’s navel were faster; they instantly wrapped around K’s neck with a ‘whoosh’.
K’s face quickly turned purplish-blue, and he was choked unconscious.
‘Xi Jian’ laughed and began to pull K’s tail, using brute force to tear it off.
K, who had passed out, woke up in pain, only to be choked unconscious again.
K, having lost his tail, was casually thrown to the ground by ‘Xi Jian’.
‘Xi Jian’ held the tail, and tentacles grew from her palm, coiling around it.
After straightening it, a tentacle-tail sword was made.
She held the tail-sword and continued forward.
Gao Bie’s eyes were splitting with rage at this sight.
She had misjudged the strength of the being inside Xi Jian, or rather, it was too good at hiding!
Its weakness, its frailty, it was all feigned!
Looking at K, who had lost his tail and lay on the ground, his fate unknown, Gao Bie felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.
Coupled with the increasingly difficult to control desire, she knelt on the ground, her legs weak, completely unable to control her body.
Just then, she felt her body lighten, and then she saw ‘Xi Jian’ moving further and further away from her.
It was Qi Xiao.
At this moment, she was being carried on Qi Xiao’s shoulder, rapidly moving away from ‘Xi Jian’.
They couldn’t get any closer.
The fragrance wasn’t poison, so the antidote had no effect.
The lust provoked by the fragrance either had to fade with time or be released.
K could die, but Gao Bie could not.
Because only she could activate that cross.
Qi Xiao quickly made a decision.
He ignored his body’s reaction, picked up Gao Bie, and once again put distance between them.
Upon reaching a safe zone, Qi Xiao placed Gao Bie on the ground and pulled out Ren Laotaiye and the crimson dice.
The most troublesome thing was that fragrance; just one second could make a person react.
Any longer, and they might lose the will to fight, their minds filled with those things.
But Ren Laotaiye was a zombie, and now a cyber zombie, with no desires.
The Scarlet Beast summoned by the crimson dice should also be fine.
Qi Xiao tossed the three dice onto the ground.
Thud, thud, thud.
Three fours!
【Four Four Four Assassin’s Shadow: It possesses the fastest speed and can temporarily become invisible. Its hand blades, born for assassination, are incredibly sharp, capable of cutting even through steel plates.】
The three dice quickly converged.
Indeed, when the three dice had the same number, the summoned Scarlet Beast possessed special effects.
Last time, three ones resulted in the Serpent of Inquiry, which had no attack power but was excellent for stealth.
And this time, three fours resulted in the Assassin’s Shadow, which excelled at thrusts and assassinations.
A Scarlet Beast, about 1.5 meters tall, with a slender build and blades for both arms, materialized.
Its face was tiny, only about the size of Qi Xiao’s palm.
On each of its two hand blades, there were six red dots evenly distributed, totaling exactly twelve.
It had a pair of strong thighs; a simple leap could carry it over ten meters.
Qi Xiao controlled it, making it swing its hand blade at a large tree beside him.
With a swift motion, the hand blade struck, and the large tree was cut in half at the waist.
It was indeed incredibly sharp!
The sensation transmitted to Qi Xiao felt as if he himself had sliced open a yam with a hand blade.
Following Qi Xiao’s will, Ren Laotaiye and the Assassin’s Shadow rushed back into the pink mist.
Although the mist would be pushed aside as the Assassin’s Shadow moved, allowing ‘Xi Jian’ to determine its location, it was better than nothing, so Qi Xiao still activated its invisibility ability.
Ren Laotaiye opened his mouth, and white light began to gather.
Energy Cannon!
The Assassin’s Shadow provided ‘Xi Jian’s position, and Ren Laotaiye, fully charged, fired a blast of white light!
A sneak attack!
‘Xi Jian’ was unable to dodge in time, and her right shoulder was directly melted by the energy cannon.
At the same time, the Assassin’s Shadow’s sharp hand blade cut directly towards ‘Xi Jian’s abdomen.
Although the Assassin’s Shadow was controlled by Qi Xiao, it was essentially just three dice, so it was immune to the fragrance released by ‘Xi Jian’.
‘Xi Jian’ sneered, blocking the hand blade with her tail-sword.
The hand blade, capable of easily cutting down a large tree, felt like it was cutting into a highly elastic rubber, unable to fully exert its effectiveness.
Having blocked this sneak attack, ‘Xi Jian’ opened her mouth and sprayed out more pink mist.
Seeing the strangely shaped creature unaffected, a hint of confusion flashed in ‘Xi Jian’s eyes, then quickly returned to normal.
Interesting, is it a summoned creature?
It has no soul, so it’s not affected by my ‘Ambiguous Scent’.
The Assassin’s Shadow’s other hand blade struck upwards from below, forcing ‘Xi Jian’ to tilt her head back to dodge the blow.
At the same time, after Ren Laotaiye changed position, another energy cannon was fully charged and fired at ‘Xi Jian’.
‘Xi Jian’, who had been constantly on guard, suddenly squatted down, easily dodging the attack.
