100: Chapter 100 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Meanwhile, upstream along the stream, a unique rabbit was crouching on a massive rock.
Its size was more than double that of a Mist-Light Rabbit, and its entire body was covered in silvery-white fur, with cloud patterns on the edges of the fur as clear as if they had been carved.
Most striking were its eyes—deep within its pale golden pupils were fine patterns of lightning, with tiny sparks of electricity sputtering out every time it blinked.
Its ears were longer than those of a Mist-Light Rabbit, and there was a tuft of silvery-white long hair at the tips that glowed faintly.
【Race】: Cloud-Maned Flowing Light Rabbit
【Rank】: Level 35
【Aptitude】: Low-grade Heavenly Spirit
【Attribute】: Thunder/Light
【Status】: Alert, feeding
Lin Fan said in a low voice.
"There are two Mist-Light Rabbits at the valley entrance, level 27. There are four or five by the stream, ranging from level 20 to 30. There is an adult Cloud-Maned Flowing Light Rabbit on the rock upstream, level 35."
Ye Qing lowered her voice: "Only one?"
Lin Fan did not answer, his gaze continuing to extend into the depths of the canyon.
Deeper inside, the clouds and mist had almost solidified; his left eye needed constant focus adjustment to see through them.
There was an open area there, the ground covered in silvery-white moss, with several huge cloud-flow vines intertwined to form a natural nest.
At the entrance of the nest, two even larger Cloud-Maned Flowing Light Rabbits were crouching.
The one on the left was silvery-white all over, densely covered in cloud patterns, with every line glowing with a golden luster.
It was a size larger than the one on the rock, its limbs thick and powerful, its claws deeply embedded into the moss on the ground.
Its eyes were pure gold, the lightning patterns in its pupils like two bolts of lightning, with electric arcs sputtering from the corners of its eyes from time to time, crackling as they struck the surrounding air.
Its ears were longer than its peers, almost the same length as its body, and the tuft of silver hair at the tips had turned pale gold, like two small thunder blades.
Lin Fan gasped, the information clearly appearing in his field of vision.
【Race】: Cloud-Maned Flowing Light Rabbit (Pack Leader)
【Rank】: Level 42
【Aptitude】: Low-grade Heavenly Spirit (Limit: Low-grade King Spirit)
【Attribute】: Thunder/Light
【Status】: Breeding season, extremely strong nest-guarding instinct, on alert
The one on the right was slightly smaller, but its fur color was purer.
Silvery-white all over, with almost no visible cloud patterns.
Its body was constantly shrouded in a faint halo, as if draped in a layer of thin gauze.
Its eyes were pale gold, and deep within its pupils, besides the lightning patterns, there were circles of light patterns slowly spreading.
Its ears were shorter, but there was a tuft of silvery-white long hair on its forehead that glowed faintly, like a small thundercloud.
【Race】: Cloud-Maned Flowing Light Rabbit
【Rank】: Level 41
【Aptitude】: Low-grade Heavenly Spirit
【Attribute】: Thunder/Light
【Status】: Lactation period, has cubs in the nest
It was obvious that this was a pair, similar to the leaders of the Armor Beast rabbit tribe here.
Lin Fan highly suspected that the mortal-spirit and profound-spirit rabbits on the periphery had likely taken that big rabbit with King Spirit Aptitude quite some effort.
Tsk tsk, a standard stud rabbit.
Lin Fan's voice was extremely low.
"Found the nest. Two leaders, both over level 40, they should be a pair."
Ye Wushuang and Ye Qing looked at him simultaneously.
"A pair?" Ye Qing's eyes lit up.
Ye Wushuang did not speak, but his gaze was clearly more focused than before.
He stared at the churning clouds and mist in the depths of the canyon, silent for a moment.
"Can we go around?"
Lin Fan shook his head.
"The nest is in the deepest part of the canyon, and there is only this one path. The valley entrance, the stream side, the rocks—there are Mist-Light Rabbits everywhere. To get in, we must pass them."
Ye Qing squatted down, picked up a withered cloud-flow vine from the ground, and twirled it in her hand.
"We definitely can't force our way in. A level 42 dual Thunder/Light attribute Rabbit King, plus a bunch of underlings—the three of us might not be able to win."
Ye Qing stood up and brushed the dirt off her hands.
"So we can't force it. We have to lure them away."
She looked into the depths of the canyon, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"What is a Rabbit King in the breeding season most sensitive to?"
Lin Fan and Ye Wushuang looked at her simultaneously.
Ye Qing smiled.
"Intruders. But not intruders like us—it's their own kind."
She rummaged through her backpack, took out a small porcelain bottle, and opened the stopper.
A rich, sweet fragrance permeated the air, completely different from the scent in the Cloud-Maned Flowing Light Rabbit territory.
Sweeter, cloying, and carrying an aggressive restlessness.
Lin Fan's left eye felt slightly warm.
Flower-Sweet Jade Rabbit urine, a trapping agent specifically used to lure rabbit-type Armor Beasts.
It is in a rabbit's nature to have a strong sense of territory, especially for a Rabbit King in the breeding season; smelling this is like having someone break into their home and slap them in the face.
Ye Qing shook the porcelain bottle.
"A special concentrated liquid from the Association, approved by my dad. This little bottle is enough to keep them busy for a while."
She looked into the depths of the canyon, "Once we lure the Rabbit King away, the rest will be easy to handle."
Ye Wushuang took the porcelain bottle.
"I'll go lure them."
He looked at the two of them, "You take the opportunity to enter the nest. One stick of incense time, is that enough?"
Lin Fan estimated.
"That's enough."
Ye Qing stretched her right leg, and faint blue tentacles floated gently in the air.
"I'll be responsible for the Spatial Jump to take you in."
Ye Wushuang put away the porcelain bottle and turned to walk towards the other side of the canyon.
His footsteps were very light, making almost no sound as he stepped on the silvery-white grass leaves.
Lin Fan and Ye Qing hid in the bushes at the valley entrance, holding their breath, waiting for the signal.
In the depths of the canyon, the two Rabbit Kings were still crouching at the entrance of the nest, scanning their surroundings vigilantly.
The Mist-Light Rabbits by the stream were still gnawing on the tender shoots of the cloud-flow vines, and the level 35 adult rabbit on the rock had its ears pricked, its gaze scanning back and forth in the direction of the valley entrance.
A rich, sweet fragrance suddenly permeated the air, carrying an aggressive, restless aura.
It was Ye Wushuang opening the porcelain bottle on the other side of the canyon.
The sweet fragrance spread in the wind, like a loud slap on the face of every rabbit.
The adult rabbit on the rock suddenly pricked up its ears, let out a sharp hiss, and lightning exploded all over its body.
The Mist-Light Rabbits by the stream stopped gnawing at the same time, looking in unison towards the other side of the canyon, their ears pricked straight up, hind legs coiled with power, their fur standing on end.
At the nest entrance, the level 42 Rabbit King slowly stood up, lightning flickering in its golden pupils.
It let out a low roar, shaking the cloud-flow vines on the cliff wall until they trembled.
It leaped down from the nest entrance, its massive body carving a silvery-white arc through the clouds and mist as it charged towards the other side of the canyon.
Its mate followed closely behind, the level 41 radiance leaving a streak of light in the canyon.
The level 35 adult rabbit on the rock also jumped down, leading the group of Mist-Light Rabbits by the stream, and followed the Rabbit King as they surged towards the other side of the canyon.
In just a few seconds, the defensive line between the valley entrance and the nest was empty.
"Go!"
Ye Qing grabbed Lin Fan's wrist, and the tentacles on her right leg suddenly extended.
Spatial Jump!
The two of them instantly disappeared into the bushes.
