Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Evil Arises from Boldness
Two arrows flew from the bowstring, shooting straight towards the Demon Nightmare Beast’s rear, precisely embedding into some indescribable spot.
The Demon Nightmare Beast let out a screech of pain, and after two small hops, both pairs of its beastly eyes turned blood-red, glaring backward, yet saw nothing.
Qian Qi and Liang Yongjun were hiding behind a thick tree, and Liang Yongjun was practically scared to death, desperately climbing onto Qian Qi’s back, "Little Qian, aren’t we running yet? If they catch up, we’re done for!"
"No rush, let me take a look..." Qian Qi quietly peeked out from behind the tree, and then locked eyes with the two Demon Nightmare Beasts.
Qian Qi: !!!
Demon Nightmare Beast: !!!
The Demon Nightmare Beast paused and then turned to flee!
Qian Qi’s lips curled into a wicked smile: Ahaha—!
They’re afraid of her!!!
With her courage growing, Qian Qi immediately picked up Liang Yongjun, chasing after the two fleeing Demon Nightmare Beasts!
Liang Yongjun was completely stunned, "What? Weren’t we supposed to run away? What are you doing ahhh—!"
Before he finished speaking, Liang Yongjun saw the Demon Nightmare Beasts ahead sprinting for their lives, "Huh? Why aren’t they attacking us, but instead running away?"
"It must be because Little Liang Team’s shooting is so awesome, hitting their weak spots directly, causing them to lose their combat ability!" Qian Qi praised while chasing.
"Haha, my archery is indeed quite impressive~" Liang Yongjun couldn’t help but touch his nose with pride, looking at the two Demon Nightmare Beasts with arrows in their behinds, then wincing and turning his eyes away, "Since that’s the case, let’s pursue while we’re on a roll..."
Qian Qi carried Liang Yongjun steadily, so he could free his hands and conjure a bow and arrow, aiming again at the Demon Nightmare Beast’s rear.
"Shoot the legs!" Qian Qi suddenly said.
Liang Yongjun was used to being commanded by his brother Liang Yongjie, so upon hearing the commanding tone, he instinctively shifted the arrow towards the Demon Nightmare Beast’s hind legs.
"Whoosh—", the powerful Energy Arrow struck one of the Demon Nightmare Beast’s hind legs. Although it didn’t penetrate, hitting the knee joint area with enough force caused the beast to stumble slightly.
Liang Yongjun conjured another Energy Arrow, just about to place it on the bow when Qian Qi suddenly released one hand, grabbing the Energy Arrow from him and shot it towards the Demon Nightmare Beast.
Qian Qi’s throw was fierce, and the Energy Arrow pierced through the Demon Nightmare Beast’s hind leg. Due to the impact’s excessive force, the Energy Arrow even dissipated directly in the air.
Liang Yongjun: ???
Liang Yongjun looked at his bow in shock, then at Qian Qi’s hand.
The force from his bow was actually less than Qian Qi’s throw???
How is that possible?
The Demon Nightmare Beast hit limped one leg, its speed slowing instantly, while the other Demon Nightmare Beast glanced at its lagging companion, decisively fleeing first.
Qian Qi didn’t want to venture further into the dense forest, worried that Liang Yongjie wouldn’t find them, she decided that capturing one Demon Nightmare Beast was enough.
So, she snatched Liang Yongjun’s Energy Bow again and threw it directly towards the Demon Nightmare Beast’s other hind leg.
Liang Yongjun: "Eh?"
Both hind legs injured, the Demon Nightmare Beast could no longer outrun Qian Qi. Qian Qi put Liang Yongjun down and pounced on the Demon Nightmare Beast.
The Demon Nightmare Beast struggled but couldn’t break free. As a Spiritual Nightmare-type Magical Beast, its strength was far inferior to Qian Qi, who had stacked on quite a number of D-level power buffs.
Qian Qi held down the Demon Nightmare Beast’s head, gesturing for Liang Yongjun to come over, "There’s a bottle of mineral water in my backpack, take it out."
"Ah?" Liang Yongjun was still bewildered, hesitantly looked at Qian Qi and the Demon Nightmare Beast. Seeing the beast utterly subdued under her control, he finally realized Qian Qi wasn’t just some Speed Awakener.
Or rather, she wasn’t only a Speed Awakener.
Realizing things quickly was a sign of being smart, so with a gulp, Liang Yongjun obediently unzipped Qian Qi’s backpack and took out a bottle of mineral water.
Qian Qi took two gulps, then holding down the Demon Nightmare Beast began to walk backward, pressing down on the beast’s struggling hind legs and rear bit by bit.
"Cooperate a bit, and I can make your death a bit easier later." Qian Qi pulled out the arrow from its backside, watching the slight blood oozing out, poured the mineral water over it.
The flesh here was indeed quite tender. The E-level Energy Arrow made it bleed upon insertion. Qian Qi emptied the water bottle, then plugged the bottle mouth into it.
Liang Yongjun: ...
Liang Yongjun suddenly felt a pain in his own rear.
Qian Qi slapped the Demon Nightmare Beast’s butt, "Fart, you were pretty good at it before, weren’t you?"
That Yellow Smoke stuff was good, she wanted it. Maybe sniffing a bit when insomniac could help her get a good night’s sleep!
The Demon Nightmare Beast gave a tearful inward cry, thinking today was way too unlucky, bumping into that "God of Killing" from a few days ago!
Even though this person covered her eyes, it still recognized her from the T-shirt and shorts equipment, as the one who could casually release spiritual power to kill hundreds of Magic Beasts, that God of Killing!
Could it even escape?
The Demon Nightmare Beast didn’t know but decided it wouldn’t die without fighting back a bit. With Qian Qi right behind, if it released Yellow Smoke, it could hit her right in the face, at least gaining some ground before dying.
So the Demon Nightmare Beast just farted.
The dense yellow smoke rushed right into the mineral water bottle, and Liang Yongjun couldn’t help exclaiming, "It’s so obedient? Can it really understand human speech?"
Qian Qi gave Liang Yongjun an indescribable look.
Liang Yongjun: ... Please don’t look at me like that, it makes me feel silly!
After collecting the gas, Qian Qi quickly held her breath and retreated, swiftly capping the bottle and throwing it into her backpack. She then drew out that D-level collapsible Long Blade, thrusting it fiercely into the Demon Nightmare Beast’s rear wound.
The D-level Long Blade plunged into the beast’s body, prompting a painful cry from the Demon Nightmare Beast.
Liang Yongjun couldn’t help but feel a pain in his own rear again, "Didn’t you say, you’d make it quick for it?"
Qian Qi pulled out the Long Blade, "Haven’t you ever heard a saying?"
Liang Yongjun: "What saying?"
Qian Qi revealed a sinister smile, "The more beautiful a person is, the more you can’t trust what they say."
Liang Yongjun looked at her mouth grinning under the sunglasses: ...
Though he didn’t know what she looked like, from that twisted expression, she didn’t seem like someone who’d look good!
Qian Qi struck the Demon Nightmare Beast’s head again, and after ensuring it was dead, she lamented, "It’s a pity the other one got away."
"Getting one is already quite good, it’s a new species after all!" Liang Yongjun said contently.
"Sigh, I just wonder..." Qian Qi looked at the blood on the blade and asked a soulful question, "Will the escaped Demon Nightmare Beast get hemorrhoids in the future? Will it hurt when it farts? Will it also hurt when it poops?"
Liang Yongjun: ???
Thank you, but I really don’t want to think about that!
Without an answer, Qian Qi shrugged, dragging the Demon Nightmare Beast back the way they came, "It’s lucky for us that it’s a Nightmare-type Magical Beast and not a pure Spiritual Magical Beast."
Nightmare-types need prey to fall asleep before they can slowly weave a spiritual power illusion realm. This kind of spiritual power attack is relatively weak, but if it were a pure spiritual type attacking the brain directly with spiritual power, they’d all be done for.
"Yeah..." Liang Yongjun also chimed in with thanks, walking beside Qian Qi, occasionally glancing at the Demon Nightmare Beast behind them, still amazed that just he and Qian Qi could kill a Demon Nightmare Beast.
"By the way, are you a Power Awakener?" Liang Yongjun remembered and quickly asked.
Qian Qi lightly glanced at him, "Shh, this matter is between Heaven, Earth, you and me..."
Liang Yongjun didn’t understand, "What’s there to hide? You’re so strong, surely many teams would welcome you..."
Qian Qi looked at him calmly, "I’m afraid my damn irresistible charm would attract countless teams!"
Liang Yongjun: ???
He had never seen someone so shamelessly full of themselves!
The two dragged the Demon Nightmare Beast back the way they came.
"There’s a chance they might come across Liang Yongjie and the others halfway, but halfway there, no sign of them yet."
"Let’s go back to the original spot first."
