Chapter 209: Confident Breakout

The Obsidian Beetle saw Long Qi and Long Er being carried over by Long Er, something must have really gone wrong.

The beetle didn’t care about fighting fair anymore, it gathered energy, flapped its wings creating wind, then using the power of wind, it easily pushed the white fox back several feet. It then shot sharp wind blades towards the white fox, not holding back.

The white fox, a second-rank creature, was not easy to defeat. It quickly jumped out of the range of the wind blades. Suddenly, a white light shimmered around its body. Zhang Mu thought it was just a mutant beast of the wind element.

But in the next moment, he realized he was wrong, very wrong. He had underestimated this white fox.

The injuries caused by the Obsidian Beetle on the fox slowly healed under the white light, in just a few seconds, it returned to its noble and beautiful appearance, pure white.

The light it emitted earlier was actually healing energy!

It seemed to be getting angry now, its mental power should have reached its peak level. The white light hadn’t disappeared yet, and now a dark mist with an evil aura emerged. Zhang Mu could tell it was a mental power that could erode the sanity of others.

This white fox actually had dual mutant abilities, one light and one dark, one good and one evil, purity mixed with primal malevolence.

What on earth was this creature?

How did Zhang Mu manage to come across all these strange creatures? He had never heard of these two powerful beings before in his life. Why didn’t he know anything about them? What had he changed about himself?

But when he saw one of the white fox’s healing abilities, Zhang Mu initially wanted the Obsidian Beetle to take them away. But now, a crazy idea suddenly came to his mind. It was like Pandora’s box tempting him, making him forget about the present situation.

If he lets Yuan Rui use its beast core, he should be able to reach the second-rank, right?

Zhang Mu’s eyes lit up as he looked at the white fox. “I couldn’t defeat the monk giant zombie. Can’t we solve this together?”

If Bottle Gourd made you eat it, the outcome would be uncertain. But now, it had already merged with my Blood Lotus. Its healing ability can only be used outside of combat. Mental corrosion is also ineffective against me. It’s worth a try.

The most important thing is that the zombie monk has not yet regained its consciousness. This means that the white fox currently only has itself, as the battlefield has moved too far away from its recent struggle with the Obsidian Beetle.

“Are you planning to take down this stinky fox?” Suddenly, Obsidian Beetle’s voice echoed in Zhang Mu’s mind.

Understanding Zhang Mu’s inner thoughts, Obsidian Beetle nodded gently and said, “What do you think? Are you confident?”

With a disdainful tone, Obsidian Beetle said, “Are you kidding me? I could have dealt with it on my own when you weren’t around. Now there are two of us, and you ask if I have confidence?” “Very well, let’s get ready. Its beast core will be very useful.” Zhang Mu’s eyes became greedy.

In life and death, this mutated beast was originally a mix of healing and attacking abilities. If it continued to develop, it would have been a dominant presence. Unfortunately, despite its extraordinary abilities, it was only a second-rank creature now.

From the front and back, Zhang Mu and Obsidian Beetle gradually surrounded the White Fox. Obsidian Beetle showed no expression, while the fire in Zhang Mu’s eyes made it clear to the White Fox that danger was near. Instinctively, the White Fox let out a low growl.

From the earlier fight, the White Fox already knew that the insect’s abilities surpassed its own. Now, with Zhang Mu, another second-rank human, joining the battle, it was fully aware of the increasing danger it was in.

Unsure of the whereabouts of the zombie, which they had previously made a temporary agreement with, the White Fox couldn’t understand why there was no sign of movement now. It didn’t doubt the zombie’s abilities, as it was well aware of them. However, not only did the zombie fail to eliminate the humans, but it had also disappeared without a trace. Something must have gone wrong.

The White Fox was no fool. Its intelligence was comparable to that of a normal human, and it understood just how disadvantageous the current situation was. Without using its psychic power, it knew it stood no chance against the huge insect.

Now faced with a human unaffected by its psychic powers, the White Fox realized it had no chance of winning.

Slowly backing away, the White Fox found itself at the edge of an illusionary formation with no way out. It was prepared to break free and call for reinforcements. Earlier, it couldn’t summon its fellow beings and followers because it was being held back by Long Qi.

However, things were different now. It wouldn’t foolishly confront Zhang Mu and the others head-on.

Zhang Mu wasn’t about to let the White Fox slip away when victory was within reach. Swiftly summoning Blood Lotus, he raised it high. The vines of the Blood Lotus expanded first, then aggressively contracted, attempting to create a cage to trap the White Fox inside. Yet, the agility of the second-rank mutated beast proved formidable. With a powerful leap, the White Fox evaded the encirclement before it was fully formed and charged towards Obsidian Beetle.

It knew Zhang Mu was very strong mentally, so its own mental attacks might not work, and decided to go after Obsidian Beetle instead.

The black mist surged around the white fox’s body on both sides, directly covering towards Obsidian Beetle, enveloping it together. It didn’t aim to kill Obsidian Beetle, just to hold it back.

Soon, the black mist fell silent. The white fox felt its black mist taking effect. It knew how powerful its abilities were against its own kind. Afraid Zhang Mu would catch up, anxiously hurried past where Obsidian Beetle was.

But as the white fox passed through the black mist where Obsidian Beetle was, it suddenly sensed danger approaching from the side.

However, it was already too late.

From the black mist of its own mental corrosion, a familiar sharp claw reached out, directly slashing across the soft belly of the white fox, sending it flying with a single swipe.

Lowering its claw, Obsidian Beetle calmly stepped out of the black mist.

The white fox writhed in pain on the ground, still not understanding why Obsidian Beetle was not affected by its own mental-corroding black mist.

How could this happen? There were absolutely no mental fluctuations on its body.
