Chapter 154 Accidentally Entering the Game
Tao Tao slept for a long time, and her physical discomfort had long since disappeared. She felt completely relaxed and opened her eyes groggily. A ray of sunlight shone down from the treetops, making her feel lazy.
She stretched and sat up, instinctively looking for Bai Yan, but found no trace of him; he had probably returned to the pendant.
After sitting up, Tao Tao realized that she had actually fallen asleep on a cloud. The cloud was very soft and light, no wonder she was sleeping so soundly.
After trying to loosen his shins, Tao Tao rolled off the cloud, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed. All those unpleasant memories vanished.
"Pop-up~" Suddenly, the cloud shrank abruptly, becoming smaller and smaller until it finally turned into a ball the size of a palm. It jumped in front of Tao Tao in a few moments. Tao Tao subconsciously opened her palm, and the little cloud immediately landed on her palm. The little head tilted to the side, and two little ears and facial features actually grew out.
"It's actually a spirit beast?"
Tao Tao was a little surprised. She thought it was some kind of magical artifact, but it turned out to be a living creature. This little guy was really cute. She wondered if he was tired, because he yawned and fell into a deep sleep in her palm.
But where did this spirit beast come from? Did Bai Yan give it to her? Tao Tao was a little confused. She sent a telepathic message to Bai Yan in her mind, "Ayan, did you catch this?"
However, she received no response from Bai Yan, so she could only shrug, put the little guy into the pet bag, stretch her legs a bit, and then prepare to go back.
There are no more matches for her today, so she can go back and rest. The Class A matches are not the same as before, and she may not be able to get many points without some preparation. Besides, she will soon run into Ye Lan. Since the Ye family has already clashed with her, she can take this opportunity to teach them a lesson.
Just as she was about to fly away on her sword, she suddenly felt a powerful spiritual force coming from not far away. Its power was not to be underestimated, which made Tao Tao very curious.
Could someone be fighting here? Driven by curiosity, Tao Tao walked towards the direction from which the power was coming from.
Deep in the forest, two beams of light could be faintly seen intertwining, one white and one purple. However, the purple light was slightly inferior and had been forced back. It quickly darted up to the treetop and transformed into a graceful woman. She gently held the tree trunk with her hand, her eyes fixed on the man below. She covered her mouth and chuckled, "As expected of a cultivator from overseas, you are indeed powerful."
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Insect-Controlling Woman. Tao Tao hadn't seen her since their parting at the previous arena and thought she had withdrawn from the competition. He never expected to run into her here.
However, the man below ignored him completely. With a flick of his finger, the circular magical artifact beside him transformed into a water python, which opened its massive maw and devoured the insect-taming woman. Upon seeing this, the insect-taming woman's eyes turned cold. A large swarm of small black insects appeared behind her, flapping their wings and densely gathering in front of her, forming a barrier that tightly protected her.
These insects, though they may look terrifying, pale in comparison to the ferocious onslaught of the giant water python.
In an instant, the giant python devoured them. No matter how many insects there were, they were all swallowed by the python in one gulp. It could be clearly seen that the insects were washed away by the water inside the python's body, without even a chance to move.
Seeing that she couldn't hold out any longer, the insect-controlling woman continued to release insects, and while quickly retreating to create distance, she suddenly swept her sword in Tao Tao's direction and said, "Are you enjoying the show, sir?"
At the same time, the man looked in her direction and released a wave of water that went straight towards Tao Tao. Upon seeing this, Tao Tao immediately summoned the Ice Lightning Sword, instantly turning the water wave into an ice pillar to neutralize the attack.
The icicle fell to the ground and shattered with a "bang".
Now that she's been discovered, Tao Tao can't keep hiding. Otherwise, the other party might think she's there to reap the benefits, and if the two fighting people team up to deal with her first, it would be troublesome.
"I was just passing by, you guys continue." Tao Tao came out, first explaining his purpose with an awkward smile, without showing any intention of making a move.
Upon seeing her, the insect-taming woman was quite surprised. After their previous separation, she had taken a different view of Tao Tao, especially since the senior beside her was truly terrifying. She would never want to provoke this person unless absolutely necessary.
As for the man on the other side, he was dressed in blue, his hair was tied up with a ribbon, and he looked very refined. He held a round magical artifact in his hand, and water magic could be clearly felt emanating from it.
He sized up Tao Tao but didn't make another move. He was shocked that his attack had been so easily neutralized by Tao Tao. Although Tao Tao used ice magic, which was exactly the opposite of his, it shouldn't have been that easy. His cultivation level should have been above hers.
"So it's you. We've met before. Miss Le, you wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, would you?" The insect-taming woman slightly raised the corners of her mouth, actually trying to establish a connection with Tao Tao.
She was being beaten down by someone else. If she were to fight that person alone, she would have no chance of winning. But if Tao Tao was involved, it would be a different story. Besides, even if Tao Tao didn't make a move, as long as she acted more familiar with her, the other party wouldn't dare to make a move easily.
To everyone's surprise, after hearing this, Tao Tao tilted his head, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "Are we that close?"
Upon hearing this, the insect-taming woman sensed something was wrong, fearing that Tao Tao would side with that person. She quickly retreated and sneered, "As expected, important people have bad memories. But it's alright, we have plenty of time in the future."
Without further ado, the insect-controlling woman released thousands of flying insects, which gathered from all directions. Her purpose was not to harm the two of them, but mainly to stop them so that she could take the opportunity to escape.
Seeing the insects flying towards him, Tao Tao unleashed his sword, summoning bursts of ice lightning that instantly cleared a path. The man beside him was slightly surprised by this scene and also summoned his magic weapon, creating a water curtain that instantly washed away all the insects.
Seeing how cleanly and efficiently he acted, he could have easily subdued the Insect Tamer. There was no reason for him to give her a chance to escape. It seemed that he did not intend to really hurt the Insect Tamer.
"She's gone, so it's none of my business anymore. It was all a misunderstanding. We'll meet again someday." Tao Tao didn't want to fight this person. He was so skilled in his moves, and his cultivation was above hers. In addition, the round magic weapon in his hand looked ordinary, but it actually contained a lot of power. If she fought, she might not come out on top.
Tao Tao tried to slip away, but as soon as she turned around, she heard the man behind her say dejectedly, "Why are you running? I'm not going to eat you."
"No, I just have something to do." Tao Tao gave an awkward smile, trying to find an excuse, but in the blink of an eye, the person was in front of her, his almond-shaped eyes looking her up and down, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She muttered to herself, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I've heard a little about the famous junior sister of Immortal Spirit Valley."
"Am I that famous?"
Tao Tao couldn't believe it, but upon closer inspection, it made sense. She had been on a winning streak before, and although she deliberately lost one game later, her reputation had already been established. She touched her nose and smiled, saying, "It was an accident, all an accident."
"If the duel was just an accident, then was it also an accident that you blocked my attack just now?" the man said, approaching step by step. Feeling the pressure he was releasing, Tao Tao subconsciously retreated and grinned, "That was also an accident. You use water-based magic, and I was good at ice magic, so naturally you didn't get the upper hand."
"Really? This is the first time I've seen a spell that combines ice and lightning. Its power is truly remarkable. I wonder if the fusion of lightning and water would also be so powerful?"
Unexpectedly, this person actually started researching magic. Tao Tao was speechless. What did this have to do with her? If she wanted to research it, she should come up with her own ideas.
"Then I don't know. You should ask someone else." Tao Tao was eager to slip away, but the other party wouldn't give her a chance. Seeing that she was about to leave, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My name is Feng Qinghai. May I ask if I can be friends with Miss Le?"
