“No!” Shi Balong screamed.

Black turned into the darkest curtain, enveloping him.

It was as if someone had grabbed his head and pressed it into the water. After just one exchange, Shi Balong felt that he had difficulty breathing and was gasping for air.
His vision tured pitch black and he could neither see nor feel anything.

It was as if he had been abandoned. Helplessness, fear and loneliness crawled into his brain like insects, spreading wantonly.
He wanted to scream, but he found that he could not make a sound.

He wanted to cry bitterly, but he found that he could not shed any tears.

He wanted to escape, but he found that he could not move his legs.

Other than despair, it was still despair and there was only despair…

Shi Balong collapsed.

“Boss!”

Zhou Zhu pulled on the light screen and vaguely saw that Shi Balong had failed. He sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, he had a backup plan. It was not worth it to offend an autonomous awakener…

Even Boss did not listen to what he said!

If you often walked by the river, how could you not wet your shoes? Couldn’t you be a little more stable? Why bother!

At the point where Bai Wushang’s gaze met, the white-haired fatty Shi Balong fell heavily to the ground.
His eyes rolled back, and he tilted his neck and drooled. He was mumbling something in his sleep, and he was currently in a delirious state.

The thing that had struck him was naturally the ‘Dark Wave Ball’!

This skill was an elemental type attack and had a duration of about five to seven seconds.

Within the explosion, the continuous dark attribute damage would bring about special effects such as dizziness, fear, speed reduction, suffocation and corrosion.

To hostile targets with similar strength, its effects were limited. However, for weak lifeforms, they would either lose consciousness or in the worst-case scenario, die as a result.

“With Shi Balong’s original soul power and physical attributes, if he had a certain level of mental preparation, he might have been able to recover even after taking a blow… unfortunately, he would never have thought that Ah Zhou was so special…”
“It’s precisely because of this that I’ve formulated the Information Gap Combat Plan. Ah Zhou’s final target might seem to be the Ghost Vine flower bud, but in reality, it’s always been Shi Balong himself!”
At this moment, there was no guardian light ball around Shi Balong, which meant that he did not have the time to crush the distress talisman.

As for Ah Zhou, it landed steadily on the ground and was not entangled by the Ghost Vine.

That was because, before that, the attack and fall of its master had given the Ghost Vine a serious fright.

The three vine tentacles returned almost immediately, not to save its master but to catch the falling small tree.

It hated sunlight, didn’t like sunlight and was even a little bit fearful of it.

It was all thanks to the small tree that it was able to last until now.

The sudden appearance of the dark curtain made everything gloomy, and it relished the feel of the night.

But it didn’t seem to last long, and it was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Ah Zhou!”

Bai Wushang shouted.

The battle wasn’t over yet, and the Ghost Vine was still alive, ready to counterattack at any time.

After the master lost consciousness, if a pet beast was released, it would automatically protect the master under normal circumstances.

Now was not the time to be careless. Taking this opportunity to attack was the best choice.

The Demon Ape nodded its head and raised its arm. It was about to climb up the main vine and hammer the flower bud of the Ghost Vine.

At this moment, the black curtain covering the top of the Ghost Vine completely disappeared.

Aray of golden sunlight sprinkled down.

“Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!!!”

The Ghost Vine suddenly let out a shriek that sounded like a crawling insect.

It turned out that after being corroded by the Dark Wave Ball, more than half of the dense branches and leaves of the small tree had already withered. It could not block the sunlight at all!

Without much hesitation, the Ghost Vine chose the former between the two options of avoiding the sunlight and protecting its master.

It attacked the restraints in its head based on instinct.

Something broke.
Shi Balong, who was unconscious, had no room to resist. He grunted and a stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

A fluorescent light flashed across their bodies. The Demon Ape and Bai Wushang narrowed their eyes at the same time. One of them slowed down and the other looked over.
They saw the Ghost Vine pulling out all the roots that had been planted into the ground in a panic.

As if it had gained countless calves, it tried its best to move backwards.

It wanted to hide back in a dark corner!

It wanted to stay away from that dangerous man!

“Roar?”

Ah Zhou turned his head to look at Bai Wushang.

The Ghost Vine’s speed of escape was not fast. It could be caught up in less than two steps.

However, it might take some effort to kill it completely.

Ah Zhou wanted to ask Bai Wushang what it should do.

Bai Wushang held his chin and was stunned. The Ghost Vine had betrayed its master?

It seemed reasonable…

The Ghost Vine had been defeated by him after much effort. Shi Balong had taken advantage of it and subdued it instead.

The compatibility between them was definitely at the stage of “Lack of Trust.” It would take a long time and process to improve their relationship.

Bai Wushang looked at the Ghost Vine that was gradually disappearing into the distance and then looked behind him.

The skinny man and tall woman, along with the unconscious Claw Meow and the injured Ivory Tiger, had disappeared without a trace.

In the battle just now, they had taken advantage of the chaos to escape!

“Forget it, there’s no need to chase after the Ghost Vine. The contract with Shi Balong has been broken, and he’s destined to be driven away.”

“However, the two who escaped were both injured, and they’re both late-stage Spiritualist masters…”

After a moment of silence, Bai Wushang flipped the unconscious Shi Balong and the pink-haired lolita to the side of the tall man and crushed the distress talisman he had picked up from Shi Balong’s side.

He could vaguely see the complicated gaze of the tall man. Bai Wushang didn’t say anything else and turned around to leave.

Somewhere in the forest.
An orange-yellow tiger was carrying two people as it hurriedly ran away.

Its body was crisscrossed with many wounds, and one of its legs was crippled and dripping with blood.

This also caused it to be unable to move fast, and it ran with great difficulty.

“Little Gao, do you think that Demon Ape can defeat the Swamp Crocodile and the Ghost Vine? I didn’t get to see the result and I am super curious.” the thin man sat in the front row and said, facing the wind.
The tall woman sat back to back with him, facing the tiger’s tail.

Her eyes kept glancing at the jungle behind her, and she couldn’t help but curse, “Do you still have time to think about these things?”

“You should know that if it weren’t for the grey-clothed man’s interference, we would have already been driven out of the mystic realm!”

“Lonly hope that they will fight until both sides suffer losses. Otherwise, if either side wins, it’s possible that they will continue to chase us. When that time comes, we will be in trouble!”

The thin man rubbed the space between his brows and laughed bitterly. “I know. I’m just panicking and trying to divert my attention. Sigh, if Brother Tang was still here and with the three of us working together, we wouldn’t have suffered so much…”
Rumble…

The trees in front suddenly collapsed.

The Ivory Tiger fiercely struck the ground and used its claws to stop its body.

It opened its bloody mouth and growled softly to the side.

“Who is it?”

The tall woman reacted quickly and pulled down the skinny man. The two of them hid behind the Ivory Tiger and were on full alert.

“Why did the two of you leave without saying goodbye? I didn’t even have the time to greet you.”

Bai Wushang sat on the back of the Red Horse and said softly.

The rules of the trial allowed hunting, There was no reason for him to let the two of them go.

After all, he could obtain 20 mystic points for free!

“Hiss –”

The thin and weak man looked at the black ape that was approaching from the side, then looked at the man in grey clothes. He gasped exaggeratedly.

They had caught up so quickly…

In other words, the grey-clothed man had won with ease!

At the thought of this, the thin and weak man’s small face wrinkled into something like chrysanthemum and his face was full of dejection.

“wait!”

The tall woman suddenly stood up and shouted at Bai Wushang:

“We have very important information in our hands. If you let us leave, I will give you the information. I will not let you suffer a loss!”
