Chapter 246 The mantis stalks the cicada
While Yiyin and the others went out to investigate the hot spring water, Baihu was not idle either.
Baihu had been thoroughly prepared for this A-rank mission. Even a lion fighting a rabbit would use all its might. Furthermore, they were far from their peak condition. Regardless, for Xuanwu's sake, she couldn't afford to slack off.
Things were going smoothly, Xuanwu and Yiyin's mind connection was also going on, and they had even reported to each other that they were safe.
However, accidents always happen in a flash.
A strange gust of wind blew past, and the guest room instantly became pitch black.
The perceptive White Tiger immediately recognized this as a sign of an enemy invasion. Who could it be? Logically, no one should approach in such heavy snow. Could there be a traitor?
There was no time to think about it. The white tiger hinted secretly, and the king of strange beasts who had been hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity suddenly took action.
At the same time, Baihu also took action and used the ability of the king of strange beasts, "Six Divine Elephants", to create many origami dinosaurs.
"Hehehe..."
A burst of snickering came from the darkness, as if mocking Baihu's arrogance.
"Oh woo!"
Almost at the same time, a cry of pain was heard, and the king of strange beasts was knocked down in an instant!
Baihu felt very unbelievable. The King of Beasts had obviously been upgraded from D-level to C-level, but he was still killed instantly. It seemed that there was a huge gap between him and the opponent.
When the King of Beasts was defeated, the origami dinosaurs were also torn into pieces. They were even more miserable, unable to even scream.
The situation is very clear, there is absolutely no way we can win.
But in order to protect Xuanwu, even though he knew that there was no way out, he would fight to the death. This is the fighting instinct of the White Tiger.
"Snapped"
In just a moment, the lights in the guest room came back on. Baihu then realized what a terrifying enemy it was that had neutralized his attack.
"'Creating life' is truly an incomparably wonderful ability, one that even Her Majesty the Queen couldn't help but admire. However, such an ability is destined to limit your upper limit."
The man in front of him obviously looked down on Baihu because she was not the person he was visiting.
Suddenly, the man came to Xuanwu and picked up Xuanwu in an extremely familiar posture.
Xuanwu was defenseless when he was connected with his mind, so when he was caught like this, the mind connection was naturally terminated immediately.
"...!"
Xuanwu felt that the man before him looked very familiar. If he guessed correctly, it was this man who had slashed his cheek with the fake Key of Time not long ago, also stripping him of part of his memory. However, Xuanwu could not recall this memory no matter how hard he tried, and naturally he could not imagine that the man was Albert.
"Ahhh!"
Baihu put the king of strange beasts into the monster card, preparing to suppress Albert with physical skills.
Unexpectedly, Albert suddenly spoke up, "For your and her safety, it's best not to irritate me. I only need two seconds, please give me two seconds, I really can't stand the feeling of failure."
Albert was a cautious man, so cautious that he wouldn't tolerate an enemy that would keep him awake at night. He was also quite arrogant, so arrogant that after destroying a village with alchemy, he would deliberately spare a child's life, thus letting the tiger return to the mountains. This was precisely what led to his subsequent defeat.
Well, maybe even Albert himself didn't realize it, he might be a little obsessive-compulsive.
"Don't hurt my friend!"
As he spoke, the white tiger burst out with astonishing momentum and rushed straight towards Albert's face.
"..."
Albert was speechless. He had originally wanted to do it stealthily, then walk away to hide his fame and glory. But there was no other way. Now that he was already exposed, he might as well do something bigger.
--what to do?
Albert had a hundred thousand ways to torture White Tiger, or to make her wish she were dead. Speaking of which, he seemed to have said something similar to Xia Lian. Using this method on Shadow King was a bit disgraceful. But if it were used on White Tiger...
That wouldn't work. His plan wasn't complete yet, and he didn't want to cause any major disturbances just yet, so he could only resolve the fight as peacefully as possible.
Thinking of this, Albert decided not to use elemental power or the ability to control the blade, and to have a thrilling head-on confrontation with the White Tiger.
"bang bang bang"
Albert left Xuanwu behind and fought with Baihu for three rounds.
After three rounds, Baihu immediately realized that Albert was far superior to him in both strength and speed.
If I fight him in close combat, I won't get any advantage at all.
So she looked at Xuanwu and communicated with her with her eye contact.
If Xuanwu could use the "Spirit of Words" to forcibly control Albert, then he might have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Unfortunately, maintaining the mental connection has consumed most of Xuanwu's energy, and she now has no strength to activate the "Word Spirit".
"bang"
ended.
In this contest, Baihu was undoubtedly the loser.
She wanted to punch her friend again, but her frail body could no longer support her.
In the end, Baihu could only watch helplessly as Albert walked towards Xuanwu. Next, no matter what Albert wanted to do to Xuanwu, she could no longer control it.
No, maybe there's one thing I can do. Yes, that's something only I can do!
Thinking of this, Baihu's eyes became clear again. She clearly saw Xuanwu's lips moving constantly. It was time for her to translate the lip language herself.
"Hehehe..."
Baihu suddenly chuckled.
Albert didn't care. "Bluster is useless to me! Struggling like this won't change the fact that you've failed. Losers should be stepping stones for winners!"
As he spoke, Albert took out the fake Key of Time, as if he was looking for the traces he left on Xuanwu last time.
Xuanwu was neither anxious nor annoyed, she just looked at Albert quietly.
Her snake-like golden vertical pupils looked lifeless, like a living cold-blooded animal.
"Come to think of it, I should thank you."
Baihu immediately acted as a simultaneous interpreter, "Those damned emotions are just tools to limit me. Thank you for stripping me of those useless emotions. This has made me realize the true meaning of what our family has always protected."
"What did you say?"
Albert didn't know what Xuanwu was mumbling about.
"Cough cough..."
Baihu coughed twice before continuing to translate Xuanwu's lip language.
"I have no ties, so... I have nothing to fear."
"But you are different. You have weaknesses. Albert, your daughter, whom you are so proud of, is your biggest weakness!"
