Lin Huang could not help but frown when he saw the tentacles that were a few times more than before coming at him.
What happened was out of Lin Huang's expectation. His speed was faster than the Luna Beasts. According to Bloody's calculation, there should be about half of the Luna Beasts left when he escaped from the Magic Willows after traveling 43 meters. Theoretically, the Fiendish Osiers would focus on hunting the Luna Beasts that were easier to capture and there were more of them. However, it seemed like the Fiendish Osiers were more interested in him than the Luna Beasts for some unknown reason.
"Bloody, what's wrong with the Fiendish Osiers? Why would they give up on the Luna Beasts to attack me? "Lin Huang could not help but ask through Divine Telekinesis.
Bloody fell into silence for a moment before replying, "Based on the information that we've obtained earlier, the information about the Fiendish Osiers is very limited. I didn't pay much attention to it before this. I thought it was a demonic plant that was somewhat cunning when it came to hunting. However, it seems like I've underestimated the Fiendish Osiers' intelligence. "
"Most of the monsters below the third mutation have limited intelligence. They hunt for survival. However, the Fiendish Osiers seem to have a higher level of intelligence. They hunt not only for food but also for a higher level of need — to play. "
"They've made you their main hunting target. It's highly possible that your unusual behavior has attracted their attention. They treat hunting for you as a competitive game. Whoever catches you will be the winner of the game."
"It's similar to a cat that will catch a mouse after it's full. However, it doesn't catch the mouse to eat but to play." Lin Huang soon understood Bloody's explanation. "I'm the mouse in the eyes of the Fiendish Osiers."
"That's right." Bloody nodded.
"So, it's impossible for them to give up on an interesting prey like me before they catch me?" Lin Huang had a rough idea of the situation he was in.
"Yes. A cat that's full won't give up its toy easily until it's tired of playing with it. " Bloody was not worried at all. "You've already retreated half of the 43 meters. It's not difficult for you to escape the remaining 20 meters in your current form. Just be careful."
"Alright, I understand. Don't worry about me. Get ready to attack. As soon as I leave the Magic Willows, attack immediately! "
The conversation with Bloody only took a moment to understand what had happened. Lin Huang relaxed a little.
The Fiendish Osiers continued to stretch out their tentacles to capture Lin Huang, as if they were playing with a mouse. However, they didn't manage to capture Lin Huang.
Lin Huang traversed through the sea of tentacles. Sometimes, he flapped his wings and suddenly accelerated. Sometimes, he swung his saber to cut off the entanglement. Sometimes, he tilted his body slightly to avoid an attack. Sometimes, he flashed through space to escape the encirclement …
No matter how many tentacles there were, what angle they attacked from, or how fast they attacked, they didn't even touch the corner of Lin Huang's clothes. There were even several encirclement methods that Lin Huang used to easily break through with Spatial Flash.
Lin Huang's lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked at the countless intertwining tentacles in front of him, wrapping him up like an inescapable net.
'I'm afraid these Fiendish Osiers are at their wits' end. They've used the same technique a few times, but it doesn't work. Yet, they're still using it repeatedly. ' As the thought popped up in his head, Lin Huang's body reacted. He flapped his 12 pairs of black wings and disappeared completely. When he appeared again, he had already passed through the giant net of tentacles. He was in a gap that was not touched by the tentacles.
However, as soon as he appeared, Lin Huang was alerted.
Without thinking, he immediately activated Blink again, and his figure suddenly disappeared again.
Almost at the same time when he disappeared, a giant net of tentacles rose from the ground and flew past where Lin Huang was earlier.
Lin Huang, who was tens of centimeters away, happened to see the giant net of tentacles rising when he turned his head. He was secretly glad that he had trusted his instinct earlier and managed to escape.
However, the trap caught Lin Huang's attention. 'It seems like the Fiendish Osiers are much smarter than what was written in the information!'
"There's less than a third of the journey left. Don't be careless. I didn't even notice the trap that they set with their roots. It seems like although the Fiendish Osiers are not as intelligent as a triple mutated monster, they're on par with a 10-year-old human child. If you continue to underestimate them, I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage, "Bloody reminded him through voice transmission. "You're lucky that you managed to escape by relying on your sense of danger. However, you must know that such a sense won't appear every time. If you want to survive in a dangerous place, your ability and vigilance are the most important. "
"I was indeed careless. I didn't expect the Fiendish Osiers' roots to be able to attack." Lin Huang admitted that he had been careless. "These Fiendish Osiers are indeed cunning. They set up a series of traps. They even used roots that they've never used before. I almost fell into their trap."
"There's one more thing that you must pay attention to. Although the Fiendish Osiers' tentacles seem easy to break, it's actually not that simple. Ever since the Fiendish Osiers attacked, I've been observing the battle between the Fiendish Osiers and the Luna Beasts. I noticed that very few of the Luna Beasts managed to break free from the Fiendish Osiers' tentacles. Almost all of the Luna Beasts that were caught only struggled for three to four breaths' time before they gave up and fell into a strange state. I suspect that the Fiendish Osiers' tentacles contain poison that can suppress the prey's movement. "
"Alright, I'll be careful." Lin Huang had been busy running away, so he did not notice the details. The information about the Fiendish Osiers did not mention that the Fiendish Osiers' tentacles were poisonous. However, Lin Huang did not doubt Bloody's observation.
What Lin Huang did not know was that his successful escape had completely ignited the Fiendish Osiers' anger.
"How did he manage to escape? He's really good at escaping! "
"The most powerful thing about him isn't his movement skill, but his ability to predict the future. He can predict our attack accurately every time and deal with it in advance. That's what's terrifying about him. "
"I bet all of you didn't notice that his combat strength is only on immortal-level rank-4. What will happen if his combat strength is upgraded to immortal-level rank-9? "
As soon as this was said, all of the Fiendish Osiers who participated in the discussion fell into silence.
A few moments later, an older Fiendish Osier sent a message through its consciousness. "After his combat strength is upgraded, he might come back to take revenge. By then, I'm afraid we won't be the ones chasing after him. For the sake of safety, I think it's the safest way to kill him here. "
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
…
The rest of the Fiendish Osiers agreed.
"Since there's no objection, let's inform the rest of the members to attack him and kill him on the spot. There's no need to capture him alive!"
The Fiendish Osiers stopped fooling around and began to treat Lin Huang as their mortal enemy.
Although Lin Huang had no idea about it, he stopped underestimating the Fiendish Osiers as he almost fell into their trap.
After the Fiendish Osiers finished their discussion, the battlefield was filled with killing intent.
Lin Huang could faintly sense that the atmosphere was strange.
In the next second, the battle situation escalated. All of the Fiendish Osiers gave up on killing the Luna Beasts. Millions of tentacles swarmed towards Lin Huang at the same time.
Lin Huang was shocked. Although he had no idea what was happening, his body reacted.
Space Flicker was instantly activated, turning into an afterimage and disappearing on the spot. As soon as the afterimage appeared, it was torn to pieces by countless tentacles.
"Are the Fiendish Osiers crazy?!" Lin Huang mumbled to himself. He thought it was strange that they were targeting him.
"Get out of here quickly. Don't fight with them anymore." Bloody had no idea what was happening. However, the most important thing now was to get Lin Huang out of the Fiendish Osiers' attack range.
"Alright."
Just when Lin Huang responded and nodded, another wave of tentacles swarmed towards him. The number of tentacles was no less than the previous one.
As a large number of tentacles moved at high speed, the surrounding space was sucked into a vacuum. There was no sound at all.
However, Lin Huang was alert. He activated Dimensional Flash again and appeared a few meters away. He was less than eight meters away from the edge of the Magic Willows.
Just when he stood still, the Fiendish Osiers could not wait to attack him again. They knew that they did not have many chances to attack. The most they could do was to let Lin Huang escape three more times. Then, he would be completely out of the Magic Willows' attack range.
Seeing that countless tentacles were coming for him again, Lin Huang activated Dimensional Flash again.
However, as soon as he appeared this time, a huge net shot up from the ground. Just as he was about to be wrapped in it, he disappeared again with a slight movement.
The next moment, just when Lin Huang appeared, countless of air-piercing sounds spread out in a radius of more than ten meters.
He focused and saw that the leaves on the Fiendish Osiers' branches nearby had exploded, turning into countless flying daggers that shot out in all directions. Most of them were not even aimed at him.
"There's nowhere to run. You can only try to teleport while attacking." Bloody's Leech Pods could see clearly from the sky that the Fiendish Osiers' flying daggers had covered an area of 13 to 14 meters. There was no pattern to the direction of the attacks, and there was no safe place for him to stand.
Lin Huang nodded lightly and activated the Dark Mirror in the next second. The flying daggers collided with the black sphere that covered Lin Huang, creating circles of ripples on the sphere before they were reflected back to where they came from.
After activating his Dark Mirror, Lin Huang tested the power of the flying daggers. He then took a step forward and appeared a few meters away.
"These Fiendish Osiers are crazy. They'd rather hurt themselves to kill me." As soon as he appeared, the Dark Mirror was attacked by countless flying daggers.
However, Lin Huang smirked. He was only two meters away from the edge of the Magic Willows.
"He only needs to teleport one more time and he'll be out of our control. Don't let him escape!" The Fiendish Osiers went crazy as they thought to themselves.
Countless catkins floated up from the Fiendish Osiers' branches, covering an area of tens of meters in an instant.
