102: Chapter 102 That rabbit's kick really hurts!
As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, he grabbed the egg with the slightly deeper patterns and a faint golden halo at the top, snatched up the one next to it, and turned to run outside.
Before Ye Qing could even react, Lin Fan had already run a long distance away.
"Let's go! Why are you standing there in a daze? Keeping a funeral vigil?!"
Although Ye Qing didn't know the situation with those two eggs, seeing Lin Fan's expression, she knew they must be something extraordinary.
Without a word, she followed him and ran out.
At the exact moment Ye Qing started to move her legs...
The mother rabbit suddenly raised its head.
Its dark golden eyes stared fixedly at Lin Fan and Ye Qing, and it let out a sharp cry.
The sound didn't seem like a rabbit's cry; it was more like metal grinding, piercing the eardrums painfully.
Lin Fan paused his steps and glanced back.
The mother rabbit's fur was bristling all over, the golden scales on its limbs stood up one by one, and the silver patterns on its back flashed frantically.
With a kick of its hind legs, its entire body lunged toward Lin Fan like a cannonball.
"Holy crap!"
Lin Fan dodged to the side, and the mother rabbit brushed past his shoulder, crashing into the stone wall of the branch tunnel and sending stone fragments flying.
It flipped and landed, ears standing upright like two sharp swords, baring its teeth as a low growl rumbled in its throat.
Lin Fan swallowed hard.
"So it's true that even a rabbit will bite when cornered..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the entire nest exploded into chaos.
In the first branch tunnel, the Gray-Eared Jumping Rabbit kits shrieked in unison, their voices high-pitched and ear-piercing.
In the second branch tunnel, the mother Red-Furred Rabbits let out low growls, shielding their kits as they retreated deeper into the cave.
The third, the fourth, the fifth...
Cries of Armor Beasts echoed from every branch tunnel, one after another, like a pot of boiling water.
Then came the sound of adult rabbits hopping.
From the depths of the nest, from the end of the passages, and from the shadows of every branch tunnel, countless pairs of eyes lit up.
Lin Fan scanned with his left eye.
At least a hundred adult mother rabbits, ranging from mortal spirit rank to Earth Spirit Rank, were surging toward them from all directions.
"Run!"
Lin Fan grabbed Ye Qing and charged outside.
The tentacles on Ye Qing's right leg suddenly lengthened, attempting to initiate a Spatial Jump.
But the nest passages were too narrow, filled with scurrying rabbits and scattered hay; she couldn't find a suitable landing spot at all.
"Help! These rabbits are more aggressive than damn urban management!"
The two of them sprinted through the narrow passage, followed by a swarming army of rabbits.
Frost-Furred Rabbits breathed out freezing air, turning the passage floor into slippery ice.
Lin Fan stepped on the ice and nearly face-planted, but was caught by Ye Qing.
"What kind of path are you leading us on?!" Ye Qing screamed.
"I chose this?"
Lin Fan roared as he ran, "Why didn't you just teleport out earlier!"
"You think I didn't want to? You have to let me see the path clearly first!"
A Wind-Riding Rabbit flew out from a side tunnel and smacked directly onto Lin Fan's face.
Lin Fan scrambled to pull it off, and the rabbit gave him a vicious kick.
"Motherfucker! These rabbits kick really hard!"
Ye Qing almost lost her breath laughing, but was forced to dive forward by a rolling Fireball Rabbit, dragging Lin Fan as they scrambled out of the nest entrance.
Behind them, the rabbit army had already chased them to the tunnel opening, a kaleidoscopic mass like a multicolored tide.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the canyon, Ye Wushuang crouched behind a giant boulder, the porcelain bottle in his hand already more than half empty.
Every so often, he poured a few drops in different directions; he had already led the Rabbit King in three circles around the canyon.
That level forty-two big fellow was crackling with lightning, each time it landed, it blasted a charred pit into the ground.
Its mate and a level thirty-five adult rabbit followed closely behind, leading a group of Mist-Light Rabbits as they rampaged through the canyon, trampling the cloud-flow vines into mush and sending gravel flying wherever they went.
Ye Wushuang watched the enraged rabbit swarm with a calm expression.
He poured a few more drops in the distance, then put away the porcelain bottle, preparing to change positions...
Suddenly, a sharp screech echoed from deep within the canyon.
Ye Wushuang frowned slightly and looked toward the depths of the canyon.
The Rabbit King came to a sudden halt.
Its upright ears turned toward the canyon's depths, the lightning over its body suddenly exploded outward, and it let out a sky-shaking roar.
Immediately afterward, it turned and bolted, its massive frame carving a silver-white afterimage through the canyon, moving so fast that even the lightning couldn't keep up.
All the rabbits behind it also ran toward the depths of the canyon.
Ye Wushuang stood in place, looking at the empty canyon, and fell silent for a moment.
Then he unfurled his Ice Crystal Wings and followed from above.
...
Ye Qing and Lin Fan had no idea how long they had been running, but they finally saw the exit.
However, just as they regained their footing, they saw the opposite side of the canyon.
Three Cloud-Maned Flowing Light Rabbits were leading a group of Mist-Light Rabbits, sprinting toward the nest.
Leading them was the level forty-two Rabbit King, crackling with lightning, its golden pupils nearly spitting fire.
Following it was the level forty-one mother rabbit, its halo surging as if it were draped in golden flames.
The level thirty-five Cloud-Maned Flowing Light Rabbit from the rocks followed closely with a dozen Mist-Light Rabbits, their eyes blood-red and ears standing bolt upright.
Lin Fan and Ye Qing looked at each other.
"We're screwed."
At that moment, an ice-blue figure descended from the sky, landing beside them.
The Ice Crystal Wings on Ye Wushuang's back suddenly unfurled, and the light shield on his left arm expanded.
He glanced at the tide-like rabbit army behind them, then at the Rabbit King charging from the distance ahead.
"You two... did you blow up their nest?" He gave them a cold sideways glance.
Lin Fan could only chuckle awkwardly.
"I don't know, these rabbits come with their own early warning system..."
Ye Wushuang didn't ask further.
The Ice Crystal Wings on his back flapped violently, and he released the Extreme Ice Storm with full force!
Ice-blue light exploded in front of the three of them, and an ice wall rose from the ground, standing between the nest entrance and the Rabbit King.
"Go!"
Ye Wushuang grabbed Lin Fan's arm, and with his Ice Crystal Wings spread, he took off from the ground.
The tentacles on Ye Qing's right leg suddenly lengthened, Spatial Jump was activated, and the three of them instantly vanished from the canyon.
Behind them, the Rabbit King smashed through the ice wall, letting out bursts of angry roars.
Then it turned into a bolt of lightning, giving chase in the direction the three had gone.
