Chapter 216 Defeat?
Chapter 216 Defeat?
"Meow~!" Despite the relentless attacks from the snake vines, Little Black managed to escape danger time and time again through instinct, and was almost breaking free from the illusion.
But hallucinations are not so easy to break free from. As consciousness gradually clears, the body becomes less agile than when relying on instinct.
It was caught off guard and struck, thankfully not through its entire body. It simply didn't react in time, and the attack pierced its left arm, causing intense pain.
It instantly woke it up.
"Drip! Drip!" Blood dripped slowly from its left arm into the ground. Little Black hadn't bled in a very, very long time in the world of pet beasts.
In its memory, it only bled when it was a kitten, abandoned by its parents because it was different from others, and had no ability to protect itself.
At that time, it vowed to become stronger! To become incredibly strong, so strong that it would never suffer any harm again.
In that jungle where the strong prey on the weak, it slowly learned to survive. Gradually, it discovered that there were fewer and fewer opponents who could fight it, and it suffered fewer and fewer injuries.
Finally, one day, it carved out its own territory in that cold-blooded jungle and became the overlord of that small world.
Now… Little Black licked the blood from its claws, its eyes narrowed, when suddenly its eyes widened. It… it remembered what it had done while it was poisoned.
A surge of anger rushed to her head, and even Yufei could strongly feel Xiao Hei's anger and embarrassment.
"Schrödinger's box!"
The entire arena went dark, plunging everyone into darkness. However, those who had come to watch the match were prepared and did not panic.
At the same time, Xiao Hei knew that the audience seats and the creatures it was about to fight were different, so it divided its box into two parts, just like before.
The section of the audience seating area is unaffected by its skill and even receives a faint glow, preventing the audience from feeling the fear of being surrounded by darkness.
But the situation was different where it fought. Now, the area centered around the snake vines was shrouded in darkness, and two enormous, heterochromatic eyes in the sky were fixed on the snake vines that had harmed it.
That boundless pressure, if it were any other summoned beast, would probably be trembling with fear by now, and even the slightly stronger ones would be unable to move.
But when Little Black used this move, the snake vine wood sprite took root in the soil, transforming into snake vine plants all over the ground.
He adopted a "out of sight, out of mind" approach, letting the other stare while he focused on his own strategy, and surprisingly, through this maneuver, he neutralized Xiao Hei's oppressive aura.
Seeing that the oppressive power of his eyes had no effect on the snake vine wood spirit, Xiao Hei decisively closed his eyes. The space that had been slightly illuminated by Xiao Hei's eyes instantly turned into an empty and lonely night.
The surroundings were deathly silent, without a single light or sound; this was the terrifying little dark room that had been circulating online.
The audience held their breath, waiting for Yufei's opponent, Jones, to break down and concede. After Yaowei suffered this attack last time, many summoners tried to find a solution in the dark room.
Without exception, they all suffered mental breakdowns and went to the hospital for psychological treatment. Therefore, when Xiao Hei used this move, no one thought anyone could withstand it.
But as they waited patiently, the snake vines that covered the ground changed; their vibrant green color began to fade, and the entire patch of vegetation became transparent.
Then, faint blue light emanated from the snake vine's body.
In an instant, pale blue fluorescence spread across the snake vines. Wherever they reached, they no longer awaited the light; they transformed themselves into light.
Moreover, on this patch of shimmering blue plants, fist-sized, shimmering pink flowers bloomed.
The flowers rapidly grew, spread, and burst open, like mushrooms releasing spores, scattering into shimmering white specks of light, like fireflies.
Drifting in the space created by Xiao Hei
"So beautiful!"
The different colored fluorescent lights created a dreamlike scene in the darkness, captivating the audience and drawing them into its beauty.
At the same time, Little Black, who had been hiding in the darkness, also appeared, and at this moment it acted as if it had been hallucinating before.
Imagine a kitten waving its tiny paws among these fluorescent vines.
It meowed as it caught the scattered fluorescent lights, but its expression wasn't as serene as when it was under the influence of psychedelic pollen.
Instead, its agonizing struggle transformed its originally mysterious and adorable face into an incredibly ferocious expression.
Jones frowned amidst the snake vines. The second hallucinogenic effect was indeed not as strong as the first. He hadn't expected it to develop antibodies so quickly.
No! We must deal with it quickly, otherwise it will be much harder to control if it wakes up again. The opportunity will be fleeting.
Jones quickly gave the Serpent Vine Wood Elf a command, and this time all the Serpent Vine vines swung around, but unlike last time they didn't combine to form a giant triangular cone.
Instead, some vines stealthily reached out and bound Xiao Hei's limbs and neck.
The other vines transformed into sharp thorns, rapidly heading towards Little Black.
"This time you're doomed!" The wood elf flew back to Jones's side, sharing the same joyful expression of victory.
Watching those sharp spikes pierce through Xiao Hei's body
"Little black!"
Yufei cried out Xiao Hei's name in anguish and helplessness, "You've lost!"
Now, Yufei no longer cared whether Xiaohei won or lost. The image of Xiaohei being pierced through her body was unforgettable; it was the first time she had experienced the feeling of death.
She couldn't imagine how much pain Little Black must have felt with so many spikes piercing its body. Was it... still alive?
When Little Black was pierced by the snake vines, its box domain disappeared.
The arena was illuminated again, and the stands were completely silent. No one had expected that an ordinary wood-type summon could have already put one foot in the national team.
It might even severely damage, or even kill, a summoned beast that has won a national-level championship?
Yufei ran towards Xiao Hei, who was falling from a great height, and stretched out her arms to wait for Xiao Hei to land in her embrace.
Yufei's face was covered in tears; she was terrified that Xiao Hei would leave her forever.
Just then, as Xiao Hei was falling rapidly, about to land in Yu Fei's arms...
In an unscientific manner, Little Black's falling speed gradually slowed down.
Finally, it stopped falling above Yufei, its body enveloped in a layer of white bubbles.
Then the sky and earth changed color, and a bright light emanated from the white bubbles, so dazzling that everyone instinctively covered their eyes with their hands.
When the light filtering through their fingers was no longer so intense, people slowly loosened their grip.
The sky turned from day to night again, but this time it wasn't complete darkness; it truly felt like night had fallen, and the sky was still filled with countless stars.
If it weren't for the clock faintly visible beneath the Colosseum's commentary booth in the darkness, showing a time of 4:30 PM...
Everyone thought that just as the light disappeared, time accelerated and it was already midnight!
The audience watched as the little black figure continued to float in the center of the arena.
The competition doesn't seem to be over yet!
