325 Ling Long's worries and joy

BOOM!

An explosion followed by a torrent of fire erupted with Yao Mei at its center and the little black fox was sent flying two or three meters before falling to the ground with a cry. The little animal looked at her with fearful eyes as if it didn't know what it had done wrong.

The people who wondered what kind of illusion the Empress of Fire had seen were alarmed and unconsciously took a step back. Whatever illusion she had seen, her reaction as a woman was completely different from that of the priestess of her group! They were like two poles apart, it was like comparing ice and fire!

But the most surprising thing was that, under the astonished gaze of everyone, the fire that had exploded out of Yao Mei's body gathered at astonishing speeds on the palm of her hand, forming a sphere of burning fire that measured almost three meters in diameter. As if possessed by some kind of demon, the young teenager turned her body and without even thinking, threw the huge fireball directly towards the crowd.

The problem was, even before any of them could back away or think about what was happening, the fireball flew straight towards Yao Zenyu!

Yao Mei was actually trying to kill her own big brother!

Although Yao Zenyu's eyes widened with a bit of fear, there wasn't too much surprise in them; it was as if somehow, in his subconscious, he already knew that this might be the result.

Yao Zenyu was much more skilled than the average person, his reaction speed and reflexes, while not as frightening as people at Xie Feng's level, were undoubtedly top class. However, when faced with the spell cast by someone as skilled as Yao Mei, being caught off guard, there was no way he could dodge in time. All he could do was sigh inwardly and wait for death.

However, another change happened at that moment.

Bang!

Before the big fireball hit Yao Zenyu, it exploded and disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place.

"Remember that we can't fight in this place?" Mu Wuying looked at Yao Mei with complicated eyes and said in a low voice.

It wasn't Mu Wuying who stopped Yao Mei's attack; in truth, none of the people present did. It was simply that these were the rules that governed this little place... Battle was forbidden.

Yao Mei continued to stare at her big brother. Her beautiful eyes flooded with tears that seemed to waver on whether to fall or not. After burning Yao Zenyu alive with her gaze and practically forcing him to look down, she looked at Mu Wuying with complicated eyes.

Pain, sympathy, even a bit of comfort and closeness... It was a gaze very difficult to describe by means of words.

Under the stupefied eyes of all, Yao Mei turned into a flash of white light and logged off. As for what she was going to do, no one knew.

Xie Feng, like the rest, was shocked and stupefied..... What on earth had just happened...? He wanted to ask Mu Wuying since for some reason she seemed to have some ideas about what Yao Mei had seen... However, after seeing her sigh, he decided it was best to put the subject aside temporarily.

In the end, all eyes gathered on Yao Zenyu, waiting to see the next action of one of the most powerful men in all the virtual world.

To everyone's surprise, he smiled as if nothing had happened and said slowly: "That was a shame... Well, I guess the Abyssal Black Fox is not destined to belong to my God of Heaven guild... Everyone, since my group failed horribly, I will retire first. I wish you all the best of luck!"

With a jovial smile, he disconnected. If it weren't for the fact that each and everyone present had seen what had just happened a few seconds ago, they would probably believe that it was all an illusion. This could easily be implied by how they all looked at each other as if to confirm that they weren't dreaming.

"Heh..." Xie Feng couldn't help but sneer a bit. Indeed, Yao Zenyu was like a poisonous snake waiting for the exact moment to deliver the fatal bite. The control over his emotions and expressions was so great that even Xie Feng did not have the confidence to see through him.

Such people were dangerous, and they were also the kind of people Xie Feng hated the most. People who by themselves could do nothing, depended on the power of others, and could only plan like cunning foxes behind others' backs.

Approximately twenty minutes later, almost everyone had made their try, but they all failed.

One after another, members of each group stepped forward to try to obtain the Abyssal Black Fox, facing terrifying illusions in the process. Some saw insects, others saw their husbands or wives cheating on them, some even saw themselves being killed and dying horrible deaths.

No matter whether it was the mentally strong assassin guild members or the group formed by the Deep Heart guild members, no one succeeded in approaching to the little black fox.

Well... It wasn't that they couldn't approach; it was that by failing the test, it was obvious that they were rejected by the Abyssal Black Fox, so there was no point in forcing things.

Even Mu Wuying herself could only shake her head with a bitter smile before backing away.

But although almost all of them failed, none of them left. Therefore, except for the members of the God of Heaven guild, the other four groups still stayed there, waiting to see who managed to capture such a terrifying pet.

So far, only Xie Feng, Xie Yao, and Gu Qianxue were the only ones who had not stepped forward.

"I guess I'll sacrifice myself first." Xie Feng joked.

Under everyone's analyzing eyes, he walked step by step, facing the little black fox.

Previously, many tried to talk to calm the little animal down, saying nice things to it, wanting to make it let its guard down; unfortunately, none of this worked as everyone was dragged into an illusion. For that reason, Xie Feng did not bother trying to engage in a one-sided conversation with the Abyssal Black Fox.

One, two, three steps...

Xie Feng approached with slow but sure steps and when he reached three meters of distance he clearly felt a surge of mana hit his mind forcefully trying to drag him somewhere. However, that was all... His lips curved slightly upwards and, to everyone's surprise, he continued to move forward!

"Sorry, little buddy. But that won't work on me just like the others." Xie Feng looked at the little Abyssal Black Fox, who was looking at him with trembling eyes, and said slowly.

Xie Feng had the Pearl of Light, and the Abyssal Black Fox's illusions did not seem to be as strong as Gu Qianxue's mind control skills. It was not a challenge for him.

The little black fox backed up, but that distance was being closed quickly by Xie Feng's larger footsteps... The poor animal looked at him with obvious panic in its eyes.

However, what happened next surprised everyone.

The little black fox, which looked extremely sweet and harmless, suddenly growled and ran towards Xie Feng in a threatening manner!

"What the f*#%?" Xie Feng couldn't help but let out a stupefied voice. He quickly positioned his left arm in front of him since this little beast was actually aiming at his face!

The Abyssal Black Fox bit his arm hard as if it wanted to tear it off, looking at him with fearful eyes... Although the little creature was frightened, even a rat could attack a cat when they were cornered and with no way out! Not to mention an Abyssal Black Fox!

Xie Feng's health bar began to drop fast and in just five seconds he had already lost a thousand health points. The current him only had just under four thousand health points as a result of the side effect of using Consecutive Light Strikes; in short, he had lost over a quarter of his total HP in just five seconds!

Could it be that this little animal is testing me? Xie Feng's thoughts rushed at full speed as he stared directly into the eyes of the black fox that was biting him as if its life depended on it... Could it be that this little animal will let go of me before my HP drops to 0? Could it be that this black fox is looking for someone to trust and trust it? Many ideas went through his head in a matter of seconds.

...

As Xie Feng thought, his health bar continued to decrease quickly.

Everyone was speechless. Although Shiva overcame the illusion problem, the Abyssal Black Fox had still attacked him? Wasn't that playing dirty? Why had they gone through all that then?

In the end, when Xie Feng's HP dropped below a thousand points, he finally shook his arm hard and sent the little black fox flying into the air.

No matter what, he couldn't risk dying just to acquire another pet. His level would drop to 0 immediately and to be honest, Xie Feng did not believe that the Abyssal Black Fox was destined to be his traveling and battle partner. Unlike Ling Long, Xie Feng did not feel any connection towards the little black fox, so he decided to give up.

After recovering his HP to the maximum possible after consuming some potions, Xie Feng approached towards the rest with a nonchalant smile. No matter if it was his footsteps or his aura, nothing had changed in the slightest; anyone could tell that he had not been affected by failing.

"Looks like it's still you and me after all." Xie Feng chuckled as he hugged little Ling Long.

"Puuuh~" Ling Long narrowed her now ice blue little eyes and rubbed her little head with Xie Feng's cheeks.

Little Ling Long seemed very happy by her master's words. Although she had only left the shell that held her, Ling Long was very intelligent; in fact, her intelligence was even greater than that of an average adult. That was precisely why she could learn so quickly under Xie Feng's tutelage.

Ling Long was worried that if Xie Feng got another pet, then their time together would be less and she would have to share his affection. She didn't want that... Therefore, after seeing him fail and even though she knew it was wrong, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Some things just wasn't destined to be, just like Xie Feng and the little black fox.

But he was not sad. Because he was not alone.
