BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122: Planning
Black smoke rose high up in the skies as the Tando Woodlands continued to get destroyed by the Thunderclaw Roc. Heavy gusts of wind assaulted the remaining nearby trees as the mighty bird finally got a balance and soared into the sky, still bleeding from two vital body parts.
Bai Li clicked his tongue and got behind a hill, where he found a few moments of solace. His bare chest rose and fell as he panted heavily. A sound of thud entered his ears, making his head turn to the sides.
Ying Yue dropped on the ground beside Bai Li, still looking high up in the sky. However, this time she made sure she wasn\'t looking at the Thunderclaw Roc directly.
Powerful Spiritual Creatures could detect if someone was looking at them so it was always good to be careful, that\'s why she was just looking at it from the corner of her vision.
"That bird still managed to get high. It is angry and is looking for us. Those eyes are spitting flames, heh. Well, in this case lightning, I guess."
Bai Li rolled his eyes at her words.
"You still got the time to joke? I don\'t think we have time for it. Once that bird doesn\'t find us, it\'ll just destroy the whole area. It is capable of that and you know very clearly."
"Meh, what good would worrying do?"
Ying Yue snorted, still looking high up in the skies.
"Also, you didn\'t answer my question. How accurate are you in throwing things long distance?"
"Hmm, it\'ll be tough in my condition. My whole right hand is ruined. So I\'ll try it with my left hand."
Bai Li furrowed his brows as he showed his charred arm to Ying Yue. It was really of no use and it was already a miracle that Bai Li was still able to fight after sustaining such heavy injuries.
Ying Yue finally lowered her gaze to look at his arms and shrugged. She took one of her twin daggers and lowered it into her shadows. They turned dark and palpable, making the dagger touch the shadow itself. The tip of the blade turned pure black in response as Ying Yue smiled in satisfaction.
She then threw the dagger at Bai Li who caught it with his left hand and looked at her with eyes full of questions.
"I want you to throw that dagger at the big guy up there. Try to aim at the bleeding part as it\'ll be easy to pierce."
Ying Yue stood up and wiped her other dagger on her clothes as she smiled at Bai Li.
"You must have seen my techniques and realise how it works. I\'m running low on Qi but I\'m sure I can do that one more time. Though it\'s very risky since the distance is huge and I\'m not sure I can pull this off."
"Well, who cares. I\'m already half dead here and you didn\'t suffer a single injury. Even if I have to break my left hand, I\'ll make sure you\'re high up on that rooster\'s body so that you can feel that lightning."
A low chuckle along with a groan left Bai Li\'s mouth as he also stood up. He looked at the dagger and smirked.
"Let\'s go. It\'s either I\'ll be dead or I\'ll have that rooster\'s meat."
Ying Yue found herself having a rare smile on her face and thought.
\'He isn\'t that bad of a guy. Too honest and straightforward to survive in a world though. Master will probably like to meet him. He\'s an idiot for sure but maybe Master can help him in that department, heh.\'
The duo suddenly staggered as the whole area trembled as if a heavy earthquake had hit it. Their head snapped in the same direction as they looked at a huge fire and a pillar of black smoke not far from them.
"Guess it has lost it\'s patience. Let\'s go before we get burnt here."
The two of them ran towards the small hill they could see in the distance as they tried their best to dodge the few Spiritual Creatures they encountered in the way. Fortunately, even the Spiritual Creatures were running away in hurry so they didn\'t attack the two of them.
Ying Yue followed the Thunderclaw Roc through the corner of her vision and smiled.
"Guess luck is on our side. The Thunderclaw Roc is coming towards our direction."
Bai Li smiled wryly in response.
"If that\'s your lucky then I don\'t know what you\'ll consider as bad luck."
"Probably that another Tier 4 Spiritual Creatures comes at us....fuck!!"
Ying Yue cried out in shock as she sensed a terrifying aura on her left. There was still some distance between them but she could swear she had sensed right.
Bai Li also sensed the aura and cursed.
"Why the hell do you have to say that? Your mouth is black, fuck!"
There was a Tier 4 Spiritual Creature not far from them. What they didn\'t know was that Ning Xi had only places three Tier 4 Spiritual Creature in the designated zone. Ying Yue had killed one already and they were being chased by another.
The third one had detected the battle and wandered around in the fighting area. After all, majority of the Spiritual Creatures were predators and fighting was in their blood. How could they miss such a chance?
But this was a bad news for the two of them. A fight of two Tier 4 Spiritual Creatures, especially one as fearsome as the Thunderclaw Roc would only result in a huge destruction.
They couldn\'t escape the battle area in time and if the two abominations decided to fight, which they would definitely do, the two of then would be better of as dead.
Thirty minutes left.
