Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Mysterious and Fierce

  After a successful strike, he landed steadily and rushed towards Xiao Yu again.

  Xiao Yu could only vaguely sense the ghostly figure's body shape, roughly judging the direction of its attack. Seeing that it was pouncing at him again, he had no way to dodge and slightly shifted his body to the side. His right hand holding a dagger thrust towards the ghost's eyes, ready to engage in a fierce battle.

  It seemed that she had sensed Xiao Yu's determination to fight to the death, and suddenly, You Mei dodged Xiao Yu's attack by tilting her head, her body brushing against Xiao Yu's dagger as she flew over him, landing on the ground. As soon as she landed, she jumped up again and pounced towards Xiao Yu.

  The ghostly figure moved quickly, and saw the ghost pounce again. Xiao Yu retreated without stopping, a cold light had already fallen towards Xiao Yu's chest.

  "It's definitely not going to dodge!" Xiao Yu made a ruthless move, forcibly resisting the attack of the ghostly creature, and his right hand's dagger stabbed fiercely towards the ghostly creature's eyes.

  The eerie skull slightly tilted its head, trying to dodge Xiao Yu's dagger attack.

  Xiao Yu's eyes turned cold, his right hand's dagger suddenly accelerated, the snake-fang dagger's chill gleam flashed in the black night, and with a "pu" sound, it accurately hit Yougui's eye.

  Get lost!

  Xiao Yu's "Bone Plucking" was interrupted, his chest was slapped by a ghostly claw and he flew out, the unfinished "Bone Plucking" was broken.

  System: Bone Peeling skill completion 69%, dealing 69% of skill damage.

  A damage value of over 30 points floated above the mysterious head.

  First-tier specter: Fifth-level special monster.

  Youmu has around 1,500 HP, which isn't a lot, but her attacks are just too terrifying and fast. In the blink of an eye, Xiaoyu's HP had already been reduced by 63%. At this rate, she'll be done for if things keep going like this.

  Youling was attacked and roared repeatedly, circling around Xiao Yuqin to find an opportunity to strike back.

  Xiao Yu's heart was a bit tense, with 37% of his blood volume left, he could no longer withstand the attacks from Yougui.

  Timing accurately, Yu Wei slowly approached Xiao Yu's back, suddenly jumped up and pounced on him.

  Just as the eerie claws were about to pounce, Xiao Yu had no time to think of anything else, escaping with his life was the priority!

  Guessing the direction of the ghostly attack, Xiao Yu dodged to one side and counterattacked with a backhand stab. The dagger grazed the ghost's back but didn't cause any harm.

  Xiao Yu's goal was not to attack Yougui, but to dodge Yougui's attacks.

  Escape!

  Xiao Yu assumed a stealthy form and entered a state of concealment, escaping outward. The slow movement speed kept Xiao Yu's nerves in a state of tension.

  I hope the stealth ability of the mysterious figure is not too strong, Xiao Yu scanned the surroundings and found a thicket not far away, then he quietly moved towards it.

  You Yu's strike fell empty, and the target that was within his grasp suddenly vanished. You Yu furiously roared, pacing back and forth in place, wandering for a moment, but couldn't find Xiao Yu's trail.

  It's a ghostly creature, its sense of smell is not as good as those wild beasts, and now it's nighttime, Xiao Yu's stealth has the effect of enhanced invisibility, so You Mei can't find Xiao Yu for the time being.

  With difficulty, he moved his feet, the distance from the ghostly figure getting farther and farther away, already close to the thicket, Xiao Yu flashed and hid into the thicket, the concealment effect of his stealth disappearing.

  There were no other suitable shelters around, Xiao Yu could only hide in the bushes and not come out. Xiao Yu sat down and started to gnaw on a piece of bread to recover his blood volume.

  In the distance, a strange and eerie presence was growling softly on the ground, searching for Xiao Yu's trail.

  Xiao Yu controlled his own breathing, because the ghost-type monsters were extremely sensitive to the breathing of living things.

  Blood volume was slowly recovering, Xiao Yu knew that his time was limited, the more he recovered now, the more confident he would be in escaping later.

  After searching for a long time, You Wei seemed to have caught wind of something and headed towards the place where Xiao Yu was hiding.

  Xiao Yu saw the ghostly figure slowly approaching, and couldn't help but clench his fist around the dagger in his hand. Xiao Yu knew that another battle was about to begin, so he quickly applied poison to the dagger.

  "65%." Xiao Yu looked at his own blood volume, which was just enough to withstand two hits, of course, this was under the condition that Yougui didn't land a critical hit.

  The dark and eerie forest was whispering softly, its cold eyes fixed on Xiao Yu's position.

  "It's been discovered." Xiao Yu stopped his retreat and stood up, assuming a fighting stance as he faced Yougui.

  Roar!

  The dark energy rushed towards Xiao Yu's location, and with a loud crash, a thick shrub that was blocking Xiao Yu's path was snapped in half and flew out. The dark energy fell to the ground, paused for a moment, and then continued to rush towards Xiao Yu.

  The sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, and Xiao Yu was shocked by the enormous power of the mysterious creature.

  Xiao Yu's eyes scanned the surroundings, quickly retreating to the right rear, pulling back to a more open area, leaving space for himself to display his skills. Seeing You Mei pounce towards him, Xiao Yu took a few steps back and launched a reverse hand stab.

  In the darkness, Xiao Yu couldn't see the appearance of Yougui at all, and could only determine its location by the dim moonlight. A cold light flashed, and Xiao Yu's dagger fiercely struck Yougui.

  System: Reverse Backstab completion rate 90%, dealing 150% skill damage.

  Due to the dim view, the reverse back stab skill was not performed smoothly, and only 90% was completed.

  A damage value of over 120 floated above the Youmei's head, in addition to that, there were also individual poison damages of five points each. Although it was a small amount, when accumulated, the total damage was quite considerable. Seeing the remaining blood volume of the Youmei, Xiao Yu's heart felt a thrill of excitement. The Youmei's blood recovery speed was very slow, and from the damage that Xiao Yu had inflicted on it with the Bone-Picking earlier, it had only recovered about half of it.

  For creatures with slower health recovery rates, the most practical approach is to whittle them down!

  Xiao Yu's body spun sideways, a back stab, continuously retreating, the dagger in his right hand fiercely stabbed towards You Mei's eyes, using all his strength.

  Get to the point!

  Just as he was halfway through his move, a surge of great force came from his shoulder, Xiao Yu let out a hum and was knocked flying, barely managing to steady himself on the ground with 33% of his health remaining.

  Two damage values floated above the head of the mysterious figure, both Backstab and Bone Ripper dealt over a hundred points of damage, but the mysterious figure still had nearly a thousand points of health left.

  "There's too much blood, no chance of winning." Although disheartened, Xiao Yu did not give up at this point, giving up would mean abandoning the last hope of survival.

  The snail's update speed is not fast, but it is absolutely stable and will not be cancelled. After going online, the updates will accelerate, and there will be an extra update tonight.
