Chapter 109: Turned the Tables on Them
Chapter 109: Turned the Tables on Them
Within the unstable rift, in the dimensional plane, Li Qian and Chu Xiran felt the heavenly and earthly energy becoming increasingly turbulent. Without hesitation, they fled from the scene.
However, they didn't go far, only a few kilometers away from the small lake, where they hid in a small hill.
After all, they were inside the dimensional rift, an unfamiliar place, and leaving too far away might lead to unforeseen dangers.
Just as they had concealed themselves, a loud explosion erupted from the small lake.
Ice fragments, lake water, mud, sand, and shattered rocks flew in all directions, turning the entire lake into a scene of apocalyptic catastrophe.
"Roar, roar, roar..." The Dragon Bull violently emerged from the icy lake and let out a furious roar towards the sky.
It was evident that a piece of scale, about the size of a cushion, on the Dragon Bull's abdomen had been shattered beyond recognition.
Even the flesh beneath the scale and the surrounding area were covered in a layer of frost, creating a rather eerie sight.
"Roar, roar, roar..." The Dragon Bull roared in anger once more, and with its roar, waves of black, solid-like energy suddenly surged forth.
The black energy instantly covered the injured scale, and upon witnessing this, Li Qian and Chu Xiran exchanged a glance, both realizing what it was doing.
Logically, this would be the perfect moment for an ambush, but neither Li Qian nor Chu Xiran possessed the strength to do so.
Taking action would be like throwing an egg at a rock or hitting a dog with a meat bun—a futile and suicidal endeavor.
"Phew, good thing we left," Li Qian sighed in relief, hidden in the small hill, grateful for his decisiveness.
Had they stayed any longer, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Watching the Dragon Bull raging helplessly, venting its anger without a clear target or solution, a faint smile appeared on Li Qian's face.
But the next moment, his smile froze, as without warning, a missile flew out from a small hill not far from their hiding spot.
"Damn, there's also Old Six!" Li Qian couldn't help but curse as he saw the missile with its tail flame approaching at a not-so-fast speed.
The missile wasn't moving very fast, and both Li Qian and Chu Xiran could easily intercept it by summoning a companion beast.
However, if they intercepted it now, their position would be exposed, and the outcome would undoubtedly be disastrous.
They mustn't forget that the Imperial-level Dragon Bull was not far away!
Blame it on their momentary triumph, as they had forgotten that the Dragon Bull had been lured to this unstable rift by the Machinery Drought Sect.
They should have anticipated that the sect would have set up something within the unstable rift.
In this critical moment, Li Qian's mind raced.
Soon, he made a decision.
Since they don't want us to leave unscathed, then stay here too!
After making his decision, Li Qian quickly signaled Chu Xiran with a glance and swiftly summoned Qi Zai.
Qi Zai possessed the ability to fly, and at this moment, there was no doubt that summoning Qi Zai would increase their chances of escaping with their lives.
At the same time, Chu Xiran also summoned the Electric Rat under the guidance of Li Qian's gaze.
"Electric Shock!" Chu Xiran immediately issued the command after summoning the Electric Rat.
The Electric Rat, upon receiving the order, suddenly emitted a burst of electricity all over its body.
One of the electric lights, under its control, suddenly shot out and formed a mini lightning bolt.
The mini lightning bolt accurately hit the incoming missile.
Boom! The missile was hit and exploded mid-air.
It was evident that the missile's power wasn't very strong.
From this, it could also be deduced that the true intention of the hidden Machinery Drought Sect member wasn't to directly kill them but to attract the attention of the Dragon Bull and attempt to borrow its power to kill them.
It was likely that they also wanted to divert attention and seize the opportunity to escape, but Li Qian and Chu Xiran's reactions and countermeasures caught them off guard.
They weren't going to sit idly and wait for their demise.
As Chu Xiran intercepted the missile, Li Qian commanded Qi Zai, which was summoned again, to counterattack the area from where the missile had come.
"Water Arrow Barrage!" Li Qian ordered Qi Zai to launch the broadest area-of-effect skill without hesitation to ensure the hidden Machinery Drought Sect member was exposed.
The goal wasn't to cause harm but to rake through the area, ensuring the opponent couldn't continue hiding.
"Damn!" The hidden Machinery Drought Sect member, upon witnessing this scene of hundreds of water streams forming arrows like raindrops shooting towards him, felt his scalp tingle.
He was well aware that this move, despite appearing grand and intimidating, posed no threat to him.
What truly chilled his bones was that whether he counterattacked or activated defensive skills, there was a possibility, no, a certainty, that the Dragon Bull would discover his hiding place.
If found, his fate would undoubtedly be miserable.
"Madman!" After cursing, without time to think further, the hidden Machinery Drought Sect member directly activated a skill for defense.
A light shield suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking all the water arrows from a specific location.
Undoubtedly, that location was the opponent's hiding place.
Li Qian, upon seeing this, didn't hesitate. He immediately rode on Qi Zai's back, preparing to escape.
Chu Xiran, seeing this, also decisively followed, riding alongside him.
Since the opponent wanted to divert attention, Li Qian wouldn't hesitate to turn the tables on them.
Taking advantage of the Dragon Bull's direct charge towards the hidden Machinery Drought Sect member, Li Qian and Chu Xiran saw their chance to escape.
