Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 84
84 A Desperate Struggle
The sound of a clock reverberated throughout the entire space.
“Croix Silver Snake, Spacetime Reversal!” Lilian ordered.
A transparent ring of light exploded around the Croix Silver Snake, instantly covering the entire lounge.
Gang Lie, who had been charging at her with all his might, was now fixed in place, unable to move.
!!
“Tick…”
The Croix Silver Snake opened its mouth slightly. Ticking sounds could be heard coming from the snake’s mouth. With this ticking sound, the flow of time in the surrounding area also sped up.
With her current ability, she could only stop time with the Croix Silver Snake for a short while. In other words, they could only hold it for four ticks.
“Tick…”
The people in the frozen space blinked and looked around in confusion. Their surroundings were strange. It was as if everything had been paused just now. Lilian nervously looked at the nearby Gang Lie and took a step to the left, avoiding him.
“Tick…”
The shivering crowd in the corner lifted their heads and looked at Lilian in disbelief.
She actually had a spirit beast! As long as one of them had a spirit beast that could deal with Wang Wei’s Gang Lie, they still had a chance to live!
“Tick…”
As the last sound fell, time resumed in the area!
Boom!
“Huff, huff!”
When the time-freeze ended, Gang Lie did not have time to react and crashed into the hard wall behind him. The huge impact made it dizzy, and its four boar legs could not even stand straight.
“Huff, huff… Huff, huff!”
“Good job, welld one!” Many Beastmasters were clapping and cheering for Lilian.
“This move of borrowing force to counter force, well done!”
“Give this b*stard a hard slap in the face. Don’t be soft-hearted!”
“Take care of him for us!”
Wang Wei’s face and his entire aura instantly darkened. ‘These wretches actually dare to fight back?!’
“Gang Lie, kill this woman! The more miserably she dies, the better! Kill her, and I’ll give you an extra meal tonight!”
“Huff, huff!” Hearing this, Gang Lie quickly stood itself up, shook its head, and glared at Lilian.
“Croix Silver Snake, are you ready?”
Lilian panted slightly behind the Croix Silver Snake’s protection.
Every time the Croix Silver Snake activated its ability, it would draw a large amount of spiritual energy from her body. She could only use this ability to stop time and space two more times at most!
Lilian nervously looked at Gang Lie and took out a thin pen from her pocket. The Croix Silver Snake did not have any extra combat abilities. She could only rely on unorthodox methods to deal with Gang Lie!
“Snort!!” The wild boar spirit beast spat, raised its sharp tusks, and charged at her!
“Tick…”
“Don’t move first.”
Lilian gasped for breath, watching the approaching Gang Lie. She only had one chance!
Lilian raised the pen in her hand high, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes! Whether they could win would depend on this!
“Snort!”
The wild boar spirit beast raised its head and tried to stab its tusks at Lilian!
“Do it!”
The Croix Silver Snake suddenly opened its eyes, and a transparent ring of light once again engulfed the entire room.
The charging Gang Lie slowed down.
Lilian did not know if this would be effective, but as long as she could hurt it little by little, it was worth a shot.
Lilian clutched the pen in her hand and stabbed it into Gang Lie’s eyes!
“Squeak!!”
Gang Lie’s eyeball exploded in Lilian’s hand.
A transparent, sticky, and putrid liquid dripped down the pig’s face.
“Tick…”
As time started flowing again, Gang Lie opened his mouth wide in pain, raised his head, and crashed around helplessly.
BOOM!
The lamp that hung from the ceiling of the room shook violently. Wang Wei, who was on the second floor, stumbled unsteadily and almost fell down.
Wang Wei grabbed the railing and scolded angrily, “You stupid pig!”
After such a long time, it still failed to kill that woman! Meanwhile, she had almost gotten rid of it. He did not need such a useless spirit beast!
The more Wang Wei thought about it, the angrier he got. He raised his hand and a dark shadow appeared on the wall.
“Hissss!!”
A pitch-black Venomous Whipsnake opened its mouth and pounced on Gang Lie like a bolt of lightning.
“Squeak!!”
Gang Lie flailed its four limbs frantically, struggling in the Venomous Whipsnake’s mouth. A cold light flashed across the snake’s eyes. Its tail—as thick as a barrel—slapped hard on Gang Lie’s butt, then it expanded its throat and swallowed Gang Lie whole.
“Gulp!”
‘So cruel! The spirit beasts that he’s displeased with would get killed just like that?!’
Lilian took two steps back in fear, her disgust for Wang Wei increasing.
“Hiss, hiss!”
The Venomous Whipsnake tilted its head and stared at Lilian, its bright red tongue flicking forward. This Venomous Whipsnake was definitely more difficult to deal with than the Gang Lie.
Lilian took a step back again. The Venomous Whipsnake followed her closely.
In addition, she had almost used up all the spiritual energy in her body to deal with Gang Lie.
‘I can’t use Spacetime Reversal anymore!’
As the Venomous Whipsnake closed in on her, Lilian could only retreat with the Croix Silver Snake.
“You won’t have the chance to fight back this time!” Wang Wei watched Lilian gleefully. “My Venomous Whipsnake is a Duke-rank spirit beast. Its attacks are fast and accurate. Even if you have all-powerful abilities, don’t even dream about escaping its clutches!”
‘Damn it.’ Lilian gritted her teeth and glared at the Venomous Whipsnake.
If she had spent more time cultivating or learning a better attack skill, she probably would not be in such a sorry state now.
…
As he watched Lilian being gradually forced into a corner, Wang Wei’s face revealed a pleased expression.
“Wait a minute, Venomous Whipsnake, wait a minute.” Wang Wei looked at Lilian with interest.
Upon closer inspection, this woman seemed to be quite good-looking. Although she was not as good as the goddess Aloy, she was still above average. It would be such a waste to kill such a pretty thing.
“Hey, listen up!” Wang Wei looked at Lilian frivolously. “I’m a very kind person. On account that you’re quite good-looking, I’ll give you a chance to live. As long as you come to my room tonight and serve me well, I’ll spare your life! How’s that? Not a bad deal, isn’t it?”
Lilian looked at Wang Wei coldly. Things had already come to this point, yet he still thought that she would take the initiative to throw herself into his arms?
How disgusting!
Lilian felt nauseated. “Get lost, you ugly b*stard!”
Wang Wei’s expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly used his fan to cover his face.
“Venomous Whipsnake, kill her!”
“Hiss, hiss!”
The Venomous Whipsnake did not hesitate at all. It twisted its body and pounced.
