Chapter 40 Seeking Revenge
When they fought, the Ice Demon was incredibly imposing and aggressive, but now, seeing a Sand Eel, it runs away incredibly fast, despite having killed so many people before.
"Waaah..." Tuantuan ran around shaking her head and gesturing with her little hands, indicating that the thing was so big and she was so small, how could she hit it with her head?
Song Chaofeng was speechless. It seemed that it had become less powerful after being subdued.
“Young Master Song, I think we still need to join forces to fight the enemy.” Ye Lan finally spoke up. She had been watching the show from the side, but she unexpectedly discovered that the sand eel’s forehead was glowing with a crimson light. It seemed that this sand eel was at least a level three demon beast. If she could obtain its inner core, it would definitely improve her cultivation.
Now that she had come to the Abyss of Spirits, she could not possibly leave empty-handed.
That's why she proposed cooperation. It was better for Song Chaofeng and his group than for others to stand idly by, so she immediately nodded, "Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking too."
"Everyone, join me in subduing him." Ye Lan turned to the others and said, promising them pills. They had to give Miss Ye face, so they nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Linghu Xuan also attacked from the flank. He was skilled in the art of controlling the wind and could keep flying kites to attract the attention of the sand eels, which bought Tao Tao and the others a lot of time to escape.
"It's just a few pieces of meat, why are you being so stingy!" Tao Tao couldn't stand it anymore. The faster she ran, the faster the other party chased. She simply rolled up her sleeves, poked Tuan Tuan's head, summoned her double rings, and attacked the sand eel head-on.
Song Chaofeng slapped his thigh in disbelief. "Why are you in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be better to let Ye Lan and the others make the first move?"
Unfortunately, Tao Tao didn't consider any of that. She was blinded by anger and didn't care about anything else, determined to fight her opponent to the death.
Originally somewhat timid, Tuantuan gained momentum because of its master. With a furrowed brow and a clap of its short arms in front of its chest, several icicles shot through the air, and frost spewed from its mouth. Taotao was not to be outdone. It made a hand seal and activated its double rings while unleashing icicles.
Several icicles struck the sand eel, but they were like tickles, having no effect whatsoever. Instead, they enraged the sand eel, causing it to spew out yellow sand and writhe its massive body as it swept its tail.
Tao Tao's eyes turned cold. He grabbed at the air with both hands, and the double rings that were already close to the sand eel rang out with a "clang" as they spun and grew larger in the air, tightly looping around the sand eel's head before it could even notice.
The moment the double rings were on, Tao Tao activated a spell, forcing the double rings to tighten. The sand eel let out a wail and twisted its body, crashing wildly in all directions.
Seeing how skillfully Tao Tao used the double rings and knew how to distract the sand eel to get close, Ye Lan was a little unhappy. She thought he was a naive fool, but she didn't expect him to have some intelligence.
Therefore, she could no longer underestimate her, and it was no wonder that she was able to snatch the Ice Demon from her hands.
"Junior Sister Yue, you restrain it first, and I will behead it." Ye Lan said, picking up the Jade Bone Exquisite Fan and flying away on her sword. Song Ling'er assisted from the side. Seeing them make their move, Linghu Xuan couldn't help but sneer, "Miss Ye really knows how to pick her timing."
"Likewise." Ye Lan narrowed her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Linghu Xuan's sarcastic remarks. Taking down the sand eel was the most important thing, as this kind of inner core was not easy to obtain.
Tao Tao had no intention of helping Ye Lan, but right now she could only restrain the sand eel with all her might and wait for Ye Lan to make her move.
Ye Lan had already arrived beside the sand eel. She and Song Ling'er attacked at the same time, using almost all their strength to try and deliver a fatal blow to the sand eel. However, just as the wind blades that had just been raised touched the sand eel's head, they were bounced back by a roar from the eel. Fortunately, Ye Lan reacted quickly, otherwise the wind blades would have hit her.
"I can't hold on much longer." The sand eel was struggling to break free. Tao Tao had used all her strength, but she couldn't restrain it at all. Clearly, the sand eel was very strong and Tao Tao couldn't control it.
Seeing this, Ye Lan hurriedly shouted, "Hang in there a little longer!"
It's easy for them to say, but the sand eel knew that struggling like this was pointless, so it twisted its body and plunged headfirst into the sand. Instantly, the yellow sand filled the air and blocked people's vision. In order to keep the twin rings from getting too far away from him, Tao Tao was pulled out several feet.
"Tuantuan!" she called out. Tuantuan obeyed, flipped her little hand, and spat out a small, ice-blue sword from her mouth. She gripped the sword with her short hand and leaped into the air towards the sand eel.
Despite its small size, every swing of its sword is accompanied by frost. It intentionally attacks the ground to freeze the sand and prevent the sand eels from burrowing into it.
Tuantuan and Taotao worked together so well that it was hard to believe they had just been tamed. Ye Lan was very envious. It should have been hers, but Taotao beat her to it.
Both master and servant were skilled at using ice shards, easily blocking the sand eel's path. The sand eel howled in pain, and with another sweep of its tail, those who were preparing to attack were knocked to the ground and swallowed a mouthful of sand.
Ye Lan knew that the others were unreliable. Even though she disliked Tao Tao, she still had to rely on them at this time. So she said in a kind voice, "Junior Sister Le, lure it over here. I have a way to deal with it."
This thing was a hot potato for Tao Tao to begin with. Without thinking, she kicked her legs and tightened her double rings. The sand eel was in pain and attacked Tao Tao with red eyes. Seeing that the sand eel had fallen for the trap, Tao Tao ran away as fast as she could.
"They're here. Are you ready?" Ye Lan asked Song Ling'er as she watched Tao Tao lure the sand eels over.
Song Ling'er stopped attacking earlier and followed Ye Lan's instructions to set up an array. Although she was not proficient in arrays, she could still set up a simple array with the high-level runes given to her by Ye Lan.
She nodded and said, "That's fine."
"very good."
Ye Lan curled her lips into a smile, now she just had to wait for the sand eel to arrive.
Halfway through the chase, the sand eel seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped. This left Tao Tao completely bewildered. Looking back, he discovered that the sand eel was molting. In order to break free from the double rings, it was even willing to shed its hard outer skin.
Not giving it that chance, Tao Tao tightened its grip again. The sand eel's eyes turned bloodshot, almost dripping with blood. It let out a mournful cry and actually shed its outer skin, quickly disappearing into the sand.
run away?
Everyone was stunned; they never expected it to break free of its restraints in this way.
"Beware!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and the sand eel, which had been submerged in the sand, suddenly sprang out, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed Tao Tao, who was in mid-air, whole.
"Tao Tao!" Song Chaofeng's face changed drastically with anxiety. He urged his magic weapon to quickly follow, but Ye Lan stopped him and said, "Leave it to me."
