Chapter 224
She tossed the unconscious foreigner at her feet into the water. The foreigner floated slowly towards the white bones, a process that took several minutes. Only upon touching the bones did the foreigner get "pulled" in, and after a while, only a few empty pieces of equipment remained, drifting in the current.
Yu Xunge tried again, throwing the unconscious foreigner near the giant whale. The water currents showed no reaction. When she used the skill 【Push】 to nudge the foreigner into contact with the whale, the whale's skin caved in, "swallowing" the foreigner whole.
She attempted this several times, with some foreigners bearing bleeding wounds and others not. Finally convinced that the water currents wouldn’t attack her, Yu Xunge used her planetary skill to fly to the back of the giant whale, keeping as much distance as possible, and aimed at the white bones with 【I Want This, This, and This】.
If it weren't for the strange and precious fruits she had eaten in the Dragon's Nest, her thieving range would have only extended to over five meters, and she wouldn’t have dared to be so bold.
The theft failed! Not a failure of skill usage?!
Yu Xunge immediately attempted to use Shadow Shift to escape, but it was too late!
One of the magical runes floating in the water suddenly sprang to life, expanding a hundredfold in an instant, illuminating the nearby area. Shadow Shift was directly sealed! The previously stagnant water surged into a massive hand reaching for her, flying towards her.
In that moment, only one thought flashed through Yu Xunge's mind: This is the second time! No wonder Shadow Shift is an SS-level skill yet only sells for 10,000 gold; it really is a case of cheap goods being poor quality.
Tulan rushed over, unleashing a breath of frost at the water. Yu Xunge switched to the item skill 【I’m in a Hurry】, propelling herself forward five meters, then transformed into a small bird, flying out through the gap in her fingers.
But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the 【Mind Snatcher】 in her backpack suddenly leaped out, its delicate, pale fingers gently gripping the sparrow's neck and softly pushing her towards that massive hand. The hand gently grasped Yu Xunge, pulling her back into the giant whale's body.
This was a double trap!!
A trap that was all set, just waiting for her arrival!
In her mind, Yu Xunge urged Tulan, "Don’t come closer! If you have any skills that can deal remote damage to weaken the contractor, use them on me!"
She dismissed Anima Grasp, stowing all her equipment back into her pack, and took out a stimulant potion from her false teeth, drinking it down. But it was clearly not enough; as soon as she hit the water, a drowsy sensation washed over her, and several herbs inside the whale ignited spontaneously without fire.
Yu Xunge felt her body temperature plummeting, her body and spirit growing cold, stiff, and sluggish, but her natural and mental resistances began to rise by two points each.
She pulled out a fruit from Dragon Island that could dispel various abnormal states and had revitalizing effects. This fruit was not only SS-level but there were only two of them, lasting just five minutes. Not caring about the waste, she took one and swallowed it whole—if it hadn’t been for the stimulant she had downed earlier, she would have struggled to muster the strength to swallow that fruit.
She didn’t know what Mi Yasi had used, but clearly, the fruit from Dragon Island was effective; the sensation of her body and spirit freezing solid vanished.
At that moment, mechanical constructs in several corners released metallic chains, flying towards Yu Xunge's limbs and neck. She barely dodged a few, but she was already locked on. With her underwater movements lacking agility, soon several metal collars skillfully encircled her limbs and neck, without causing her any harm.
And at the moment she was locked, she discovered that these collars began to rotate 350° around her limbs, starting to etch magical runes into her wrists and ankles.
But that wasn’t all; dozens of sea demon characters on the skeletal remains of the sea demon lit up, and a melodious song filled the air. In an instant, Yu Xunge found herself with seven or eight buff enhancements, even her maximum health began to slowly increase. Yet, she only felt a jolt in her mind; she sensed that her 【Soul Resistance (Passive)】 had been triggered, even more intensely than when Baozi read her thoughts.
This was a mental control skill?
Mi Yasi, you esteemed God of Thieves, how can you be so comprehensive… no, how can you be so shameless!!!
Outside the giant whale, the 【Mind Snatcher】 regretfully "looked" at the retreating Tulan before flying into the whale's interior, swimming towards the sea demon's bones.
The magical array inscribed with magical essence inside the giant whale lit up one by one, the runes on leather and talismans floated away from their carriers, gems sparkled, and all the herbs ignited spontaneously in the water, while various machines lit up with blue lights, emitting beeping sounds.
The three highest-quality items on Yu Xunge turned gray—【Furious Moon】, 【Soros's Time】, and 【Magic Eye】.
She could only think of the Mind Snatcher; it was the only connection she had with Mi Yasi. Coincidentally, she and Tulan had played three games with the Mind Snatcher.
She didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if she had bound the 【Mind Snatcher】 to her soul with a binding stone back then.
The latter two items were manageable, but with 【Furious Moon】 sealed, one of her escape cards was gone.
In that moment, she finally understood Mi Yasi's purpose in designing Liang Pochou and Longlin as part of a chain—not only to provide a wealth of information to confuse her and guide her to find Mi Yasi, but also to use Liang Pochou's character and actions to seal Tulan's time-reversal skill.
With both 【Furious Moon】 and 【Thieving Dragon】 disabled, she was truly at a dead end!
The water gently pushed her towards the remains of Mi Yasi.
Everything was ready, and Yu Xunge, as the most crucial material, was about to take her place.
Tulan asked Yu Xunge in her mind, "I don’t have any curse or weakening skills! Quick, what else can I do??"
Her voice was rarely serious, but she didn’t lose her composure in her urgency. Every time they practiced together and emotions ran high, Yu Xunge would stop to comfort her, teaching her that in the most critical moments, one must not rush; negative emotions only lead you faster to death.
She used various attack skills against the giant whale, trying to rescue Yu Xunge, knowing that the current situation was completely outside Yu Xunge's plan.
But the whale's skin was clearly tampered with by Mi Yasi, and Tulan had no way to break through its defenses.
Healing Mi Yasi? That was out of the question; not to mention that Tulan's skills couldn’t penetrate the water currents, if she actually revived Mi Yasi, both she and Tulan would die.
Yu Xunge said, "Try to damage the runes on the giant whale, or use ice spells against the water currents to slow them down."
At that moment, an unnamed fury surged within her, burning away all her negative emotions.
She didn’t like reckless enthusiasm, but she never feared hardship and danger.
Drinking 10ml of Daughter's Red reduced all attributes by 10%, but it was a drop in the bucket.
Though she didn’t know why the water currents here were so powerful, she could already smell the unique scent of seawater. Had Mi Yasi sealed himself in the seawater for so many years to minimize his own strength?
Was Mi Yasi defending against 【Reversal Moment】? Why? Did he have such detailed clues?
【Chapter 291: He Must Have Seen the Ending in Advance!】
Yu Xunge threw all the healing potions from her bag into the water—beginner, intermediate, advanced, and even a few special healing potions that Hufflepuff had rewarded her!
【One Hundred Thousand Volts】! Thousands of potion vials shattered in an instant, and the healing potions merged into the water.
Since Mi Yasi could still be affected negatively by seawater even in his skeletal form, why couldn’t he be positively influenced?
Forget about Daughter's Red; the giant whale was too large. How much of the 800ml of Daughter's Red would Mi Yasi absorb, and which stage of effect would it trigger? She had no way to control that.
After doing all this, she aimed her left hand at Mi Yasi, reducing his luck to 1. Although she couldn’t see his attributes, she succeeded in modifying it!
Then, with a fierce grip of her right hand—Fountain of Light!
If I don’t take you down today, I’ll consider it a loss.
But that wasn’t enough; she used 【I Want This, This, and This】 on Mi Yasi four times in a row.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Xunge had reduced her health to 20%, and with the herbs she had consumed, some of which were toxic, her health had now dropped below 10%.
The water currents blocked Tulan's healing skills, and Mi Yasi's condition showed no signs of change. She couldn’t be sure if she was at a disadvantage at that moment.
But this was Mi Yasi's territory. Even if he had weakened himself to the extreme, with Mi Yasi's level being more than ten times higher than Yu Xunge's, her "momentum" was naturally at a very low state.
Yet she still couldn’t use 【Reversal Moment】 on Mi Yasi, because there was still a deadly issue: Mi Yasi hadn’t attacked her.
He was clearly prepared; from the moment he appeared, he had been vigilant about this.
The water's hand and mechanical chains had not harmed her in the slightest; the runes etched by the latter were undoubtedly enhancements;
Various potions that could freeze her body and spirit had increased her resistances;
The song that could control her soul and spirit had caused her maximum health to surge by 10%.
In other words, those methods were essentially "helping" her, and could not be defined as 【damage】.
Thinking about Mi Yasi's precautions against 【Reversal Moment】, Yu Xunge couldn’t help but wonder: Did Mi Yasi really not predict his fate?
Could this be a pre-battle preparation that could be played out with just a hint?
Indeed, those who claim to love mystery often enjoy flipping to the end to see the conclusion!
