Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Qian 7, you have no shame!
Seeing the yellow smoke, Liang Yongjie thought it wasn’t good and instinctively shouted, "Cover your mouth and nose."
But even so, the teammates still inhaled some of the smoke, and their bodies began to sway.
With the sound of several thumps, Liang Yongjie and the others fell to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.
Qian Qi pinched her little nose and clicked her tongue, "Tsk, not a great start~"
The two Demon Nightmare Beasts saw that the humans had fallen into the trap and couldn’t help but become smug. However, they didn’t attack them; instead, they walked around them with their heads held high and began to create the Nightmare Illusion Realm.
From her studies in "Magic Beast Study," Qian Qi knew that Nightmare-type Magical Beasts were adept at creating spiritual illusion realms and especially loved to feast on brains in a state of active thinking.
However, some prefer brains in a state of fear, while others prefer those in a state of happiness. Judging by the expressions on Liang Yongjie and the others’ faces, it was clear these two Demon Nightmare Beasts had different preferences.
Liang Yongjie and the others had smiles on their faces, while Liang Yongjun and Xu Jinghong appeared fearful. It was unknown what they saw in the spiritual illusion realm.
Qian Qi was unsure when the Demon Nightmare Beasts would strike, but to prevent any fatalities, she spat out the leaf in her mouth and jumped down from the tree.
The sudden sound of her landing startled the two Demon Nightmare Beasts. When they turned around and saw Qian Qi, they paused for a moment, and fear visibly floated in their eyes.
Then the two Demon Nightmare Beasts immediately ran off.
Qian Qi: ???
What? Was her intimidating presence already that strong? Could a D-level magical beast actually be scared and run at the sight of her?
Confused, she scratched her head, turned, and walked over to where Xu Jinghong was lying the closest to her, lifting his eyelids.
He didn’t look poisoned, even though the Demon Nightmare Beasts had left, but he appeared to still be immersed in the spiritual illusion realm, with his face still contorted in pain.
Qian Qi glanced at the escaping Demon Nightmare Beasts, wanting to chase after them but hesitant to leave everyone alone here. She chose to wake a few people first.
But how to wake someone sunk in an illusion realm... the books only taught killing a Nightmare Beast to break the illusion, without teaching other methods.
She wondered if slapping him twice would wake him, but was afraid her strength might not be controlled well and she’d accidentally smash the handsome guy’s head.
[Oh~ my dear Qian Qi~]The system cleared its interface and began its incantation, [Do you wish to rescue the prince lost in the illusion realm? For just 30 bucks, you could experience a fairy-tale romantic encounter with love~]
Qian Qi: ???
"Sleeping Beauty?"
The system always inadvertently revealed answers, and Qian Qi had a bold idea when she looked at Xu Jinghong.
She stared at Xu Jinghong’s nice-looking lips, squinting slightly, then leaned down slowly toward Xu Jinghong’s face.
[Qian Qi! What are you doing!]The system was instantly shocked, [You have no shame!]
Qian Qi lightly glanced at the system, "I advise you not to butt in."
System: ???
The system turned its back on them, unwilling to witness this embarrassing scene.
Qian Qi’s gaze landed on Xu Jinghong’s lips, and she raised her two small hands.
Suddenly, one hand tightly covered Xu Jinghong’s mouth while the other pinched his nose hard.
bucks?
The system charging 30 bucks suggested the answer was simple, and with a little thought, she might figure it out.
Twenty seconds later, Xu Jinghong, still lost in the illusion realm, suddenly jerked, sat up, and pushed away Qian Qi’s hands, gasping for air.
"Aha!" Qian Qi was delighted, "Saved a few dozen bucks! I’m such a clever little egg!"
The system sneakily peeking from the corner: ???
What the hell! How did she come up with such a wicked method?
"Huh, huh... what’s going on?" Xu Jinghong asked, his face flushed from being suffocated, his black leather jacket with studs jingling, "Just now, wait! Where is everyone else?"
Xu Jinghong looked around and noticed everyone lying on the ground, his face turned pale, "Are they all dead?"
"Dead my foot!" Qian Qi spat twice, "How can you curse everyone like that! Bad egg!"
Xu Jinghong: ???
Outside the instance, didn’t you curse me to get hurt? Don’t be such a double standard! Hey!
"You stay here and wake everyone up!" Qian Qi was worried the Demon Nightmare Beasts might have run too far, so she moved toward Liang Yongjun and gave his face two big slaps.
The suddenly awakened Liang Yongjun: ???
"Let’s go! Quickly chase the magical beasts with me!" Qian Qi said, placing her small backpack in front of her chest, picking up Liang Yongjun, and chasing after the Demon Nightmare Beasts!
"Ah?" Liang Yongjun exclaimed as he was not fully awake from the terrifying illusion before being carried on Qian Qi’s back, speeding toward the beasts, almost making him puke.
When he finally realized, cold sweat broke out all over him, "Little Qian, what did you just say about chasing what?"
"Chasing magical beasts!" Qian Qi kindly explained, "Those two beasts knocked you out and ran! It took me quite a bit to wake you! We must hurry to catch them, or it’ll be for nothing!"
Liang Yongjun: ???
Seriously?
Never mind why my face hurts so much, how did you wake me up, but more importantly, how do the two of us, one E-level fragile shooter and one weak speed Awakener, dare chase two D-level magical beasts?!!!
"Little Qian, we better not chase them!" Liang Yongjun quivered, "We definitely can’t catch up! It’s too dangerous for us to act alone!"
"No, we can catch up!" Qian Qi said seriously. She had set her sights on those Demon Nightmare Beasts and wouldn’t let them go easily!
Besides, they ran as soon as they saw her; there must be some special reason! She needed to find out!
"Rest assured, I won’t put you in danger!" Qian Qi promised, and if they encountered a beast swarm, she’d spend six thousand bucks for the system to fly them away!
Liang Yongjun wanted to cry without tears, but Qian Qi sped up, and soon, she saw the two Demon Nightmare Beasts ahead. Qian Qi made a sharp stop, hiding behind a tree with Liang Yongjun.
Liang Yongjun looked at the two Demon Nightmare Beasts, his legs trembling, "You’re going to get me killed! I can’t possibly kill them!"
"Trust me, buddy!" Qian Qi placed a hand on Liang Yongjun’s shoulder, "Stop shaking, can you shoot accurately like that?"
"Where do you want me to shoot?" Liang Yongjun wailed, "How can E-level break through a D-level magical beast’s skin?"
Qian Qi said decisively, "Shoot their butt!"
Liang Yongjun: ...
Liang Yongjun: ???
Qian Qi firmly stated, "That area emits yellow sleep-inducing smoke, so it’s likely a weak spot. Even if not, it can certainly hinder them from releasing the yellow smoke!"
Liang Yongjun glanced at the two Demon Nightmare Beasts. Perhaps due to Qian Qi’s unwavering tone, he couldn’t help but feel it made sense, "But what if they attack us when we shoot?"
Qian Qi touched her chin, "Then I’ll take you back to the base camp right away. By then, your brother and others should have woken up."
Liang Yongjie had battle experience, and Xu Jinghong saw which direction she ran. To save his brother, they would surely come to support.
By then, killing these two Demon Nightmare Beasts would be a piece of cake.
Liang Yongjun was still hesitant, "But..."
"Are you a man? Why so timid?" Qian Qi was a bit disdainful.
These words directly hit Liang Yongjun’s self-esteem, and he immediately conjured a bow and two arrows in his hand, angrily saying, "I’m not timid! Let me show you what double-arrow shooting is!"
He used to be a member of an archery club and had followed his brother through many instances to survive. Liang Yongjun had a skill or two. Taking a deep breath, he placed two arrows on the bow in his hand.
His gaze sharpened slightly, and with a determined look, Liang Yongjun aimed at the two Demon Nightmare Beasts’ rear, firing the two arrows with "whoosh whoosh"!
