124: Chapter 124 You're like a female rabbit in heat!
The little girl raised her right hand, spreading her five fingers, and her nails elongated into five steel blades gleaming with a cold light.
She didn't speak again, simply taking a step toward Lin Fan.
With just that one step, Lin Fan felt the ground beneath his feet shake.
The spiritual pressure of a level 65 Armor Sovereign was like a physical weight, making it hard to breathe.
Lin Fan did not hesitate.
He turned around, firing three Moon Shadow Thorns from his left hand in rapid succession; the silver-black wooden spikes accurately pierced the throats of the five people on the ground, including Zhou Yuan.
Before the five of them could even scream, their bodies twitched once, and then they went completely still.
His left eye heated up slightly as information appeared: "Target Zhou Yuan and 5 others eliminated. Gained 15,000 source energy points. Current source energy: 54,000 points."
Regardless of anything else, this source energy absolutely could not be wasted.
The little girl seemed somewhat regretful of Lin Fan's actions, but the next second, she had already rushed in front of him.
"Run! Run to the exit!"
Lin Fan shouted.
Ye Qing's right leg tentacle suddenly elongated, and she used Spatial Jump to appear beside Lin Fan and Ye Wushuang, grabbing one of their arms in each hand.
The three of them vanished instantly from their spot, reappearing fifty meters away, and sprinted toward the exit on the periphery of the Secret Realm.
The little girl's steel blades missed, blasting a crater into the ground.
She raised her head, her scarlet slit pupils fixed on the direction where the three had vanished, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Run? Do you really think you can run away?"
Her legs bent slightly, and she exerted force, launching herself like a cannonball.
Her jumping style was completely unlike a human's—her legs bent to the limit, her feet almost touching her thighs, and then she kicked straight, her body carving a silver-white arc through the air.
Upon landing, her knees bent slightly to cushion the impact, her feet gripped the ground like rabbit paws, and then she immediately sprang up again.
Each jump covered nearly a hundred meters; her speed was astonishing, and she landed almost silently.
"She's catching up!" Ye Qing shouted.
Ye Wushuang let go of Ye Qing's hand and turned to face the little girl.
The Ice Crystal Wings behind him unfurled abruptly, and an Extreme Ice Storm exploded behind him, the ice-blue light congealing into walls of ice on the ground.
The little girl leaped over and crashed headlong into the ice wall. The ice wall shattered, slowing her down just a little, but she rushed out quickly.
Her dress was slashed in several places by ice blades, but there wasn't even a white mark on her skin.
Lin Fan rushed up from the side, his right leg fully unleashing Light Travel Step, and a pale golden stream of light circled behind the little girl.
The golden crystal in his left eye lit up—Mental Shock!
The invisible Mental Energy struck the little girl squarely in the head. Her body suddenly stiffened, her jumping trajectory veered off course, and she crashed into a nearby earthen slope, sending dirt flying.
Lin Fan didn't stop, thrusting the Flood Dragon Poison Fang in his left hand toward her back.
The sharp claw struck her shoulder, but it only tore the dress, leaving not even a white mark on her skin.
"You have quite a few tricks."
The little girl crawled out of the earthen slope and brushed the dirt off her dress.
Her ears began to deform.
Her originally rounded human ears elongated and grew pointed, covered in a layer of fine, silver-white down, with two tufts of long hair standing up at the tips, swaying gently in the wind.
Her pupils also changed, shifting from dark red to scarlet, the slit pupils narrowing into thin lines.
She tilted her head, her neck making a cracking sound, and she looked less and less human.
"The three of you are indeed much stronger than those pieces of trash from before."
Her voice was still sweet, but it now carried the texture of metal grinding against metal.
Her legs bent slightly, and she launched herself again.
This time it wasn't a straight line, but a zigzag—jumping left and right, her speed so fast that even Lin Fan's left eye could only capture blurry afterimages.
Ye Qing's right leg tentacle swung, and she Spatial Jumped to Lin Fan's side, grabbed him, and jumped again.
The little girl's steel blades grazed Lin Fan's back, slicing open his clothes and leaving a deep, bloody gash on his skin.
Ye Wushuang rushed up from the side, activating Thunder Charge and Thunder Flash with his right leg, a bolt of silver-purple lightning kicking toward the little girl's side.
The little girl didn't dodge or evade, letting the thunder kick strike her.
Thunderlight exploded, but she didn't budge, instead grabbing Ye Wushuang's right ankle.
"I'll take this rabbit first."
Lin Fan rushed over, the golden crystal in his left eye lighting up—Nightmare Entanglement!
A brief nightmare was instantly woven into the little girl's mind. Her hand loosened, and Ye Wushuang seized the chance to break free, activating Thunder Flash on his right leg again to retreat and put some distance between them.
The little girl shook her head; Nightmare Entanglement had only distracted her for less than a second.
She stood straight, the nails on both hands fully elongated, ten steel blades gleaming with cold light under the gray-white light.
The muscles in her legs bulged, veins popped, her feet deformed, and her toes elongated, gripping the ground like rabbit paws.
Her torso began to contort, her spine making cracking sounds, and she crouched down, like a rabbit poised to spring.
"You can't escape."
Her voice no longer sounded human, carrying a sharp, screeching quality.
The expressions of Lin Fan and the others changed.
This wasn't a human; it was a beast wearing human skin.
Ye Qing gritted her teeth, her right leg tentacle elongated again, and she used Spatial Jump to carry Lin Fan and Ye Wushuang through three consecutive jumps, finally seeing the light curtain of the exit.
But the little girl was faster—she launched herself from the side, her ten steel blades sweeping horizontally toward the three of them.
Ye Wushuang blocked with the Light Shield on his left arm, but the shield shattered; he was sent flying and crashed to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Ye Qing's right leg tentacle was severed by the steel blades, and the Rift Jellyfish detached from her leg, dissolving into a cluster of ghostly blue light mist.
Lin Fan unleashed Light Travel Step, dodging the frontal attack, but the little girl's left-hand steel blades still grazed his chest, leaving a bloody gash deep enough to see the bone.
The three of them lay on the ground, covered in wounds.
The gap in strength between the two sides was too vast...
Blood gushed from Lin Fan's chest, and Ye Qing was left with only the Armorization of the Rift Jellyfish, which was flickering faintly.
Ye Wushuang's Light Shield on his left arm was shattered, leaving only a tiny fragment on his wrist, and blood spilled from his mouth as well.
The little girl stood before them, blood dripping from her ten steel blades.
Her ears were fully erect, her scarlet slit pupils filled with excitement.
She crouched down, reaching out to grab Lin Fan's right leg.
Just then, Lin Fan's left eye keenly captured a faint fluctuation behind the little girl.
A tiny rift appeared out of thin air, its edges glowing with a ghostly blue light, like an opening eye.
It was the Mirage Realm!
And the entrance was shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Fan's mind raced, and he signaled the other two with a glance.
Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked behind the little girl.
The three of them exchanged a look.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, looked at the little girl, and suddenly began to laugh.
"Do you know what you look like?"
The little girl tilted her head.
"What?"
Lin Fan braced himself against the ground to sit up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Like a horny female rabbit. Chasing us for half the Secret Realm just to snatch two Little Rabbits."
He laughed, laughing very loudly.
"Do your parents know you're being this embarrassing out here?"
The little girl's pupils constricted.
Her ears stood up even straighter, and the smile on her face vanished completely.
"You're courting death."
She raised her right hand, her steel blades aimed at Lin Fan's throat.
Lin Fan stared at the rift behind her; it had already shrunk to the point where only one person could squeeze through.
He took a deep breath and then violently threw the nine heavens thunder orb he had been holding in his hand.
The orb was entirely silver-white, with fine thunder patterns on its surface.
He gripped the two orbs together and hurled them violently at the little girl's face.
"Here's a gift for you!"
The nine heavens thunder orb exploded.
Silver-white thunderlight instantly engulfed the little girl's figure, the blinding radiance illuminating the entire valley floor as bright as day.
The blast wave sent Lin Fan and the other two flying.
Ye Qing forced herself to steady her figure, the only remaining tentacle on her right leg elongating, and she grabbed Lin Fan's arm.
Ye Wushuang rushed over at the same time, grabbing Ye Qing's hand.
Ye Qing flickered several times in succession, and the three of them crashed into the shrinking, ghostly blue rift simultaneously.
