Chapter 37: All Actors

Gu Ye's hair stood on end, and a deadly sense of crisis instantly gripped his heart!

Without the slightest hesitation, he abruptly activated the Hurricane Void Instant Movement Technique, his figure turning into a green hurricane and vanishing from the spot instantly.

"Crack!"

The moment he disappeared, a giant crab claw crashed down, passing straight through his lingering afterimage.

The Human Armor Willow Crab laughed, "I didn't expect a little mouse like you to be so alert, but no matter how alert you are, you'll still have to obediently become This Great One's consumable! I'll take good care of your body."

Gu Ye gave a contemptuous smile and said, "Who becomes whose consumable is yet to be determined!"

He turned to look at Third Mother Li beside him and instructed rapidly, "Can you hold on? I'll go stop it; Zhang Fei and the others will be here to help soon."

Third Mother Li swallowed, her gaze firm, and she nodded affirmatively, gripping the dagger in her hand.

Seeing this, Gu Ye turned to look at the Human Armor Willow Crab.

Wild Hurricane Beast-Ripping Slash!

After he used this skill, Night Dwelling Phoenix's eyes brightened, as if she had seen something.

She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and as if having made up her mind, her slender fingers quietly twitched.

The strength of the remaining three bird monsters was sapped a little, but no one noticed this phenomenon.

Over here, a small tornado was kicked out by Gu Ye, carrying sharp golden light blades as it charged straight toward the Human Armor Willow Crab. It watched the tornado approach indifferently, its eyes filled with contempt, thinking how strong an attack from a mere Bronze-rank 6 little mouse could be.

Upon making contact with the attack, the Human Armor Willow Crab finally understood why Xu Yuanmo had told it to be careful.

"Ah~ Damn you, ah~" The Human Armor Willow Crab's screams continued one after another.

The tornado enveloped it, the carried light blades cutting into its carapace, making its already scarred body even worse.

Perhaps because it was too painful, it retracted its entire body again just like last time, the light blades hacking against its huge back shell with a "clang-clang" sound, sparks flying everywhere.

A moment later, after the tornado dissipated, the Human Armor Willow Crab poked its head out, eyes filled with killing intent, staring fixedly at Gu Ye.

Seeing this, Gu Ye gave it a highly provocative, disdainful gesture and sneered, "Having a shell really makes you durable."

Ghostly evil willow!

The Human Armor Willow Crab was completely enraged; the human heads in the cracks on its back let out bursts of wailing, and the willow branches of the willow tree were filled with thick ghostly energy, extending crazily like living things. Dense willow branches danced in the air like thousands of black poisonous snakes, bringing a foul wind as they all lashed out at Gu Ye!

Seeing this, Gu Ye fired another Wild Hurricane Beast-Ripping Slash!

The tornado tore apart many willow branches, but some fish that slipped through the net still lashed out at Gu Ye.

Gu Ye wanted to dodge, but there were too many escaping willow branches, and some still struck his armor. The ghostly energy on the willow branches seemed to have sentience, forming chains that bound Gu Ye.

Gu Ye was stunned; he felt his spiritual energy circulation blocked and couldn't activate any skills. He dodged the willow branches and tried to use the hurricane shadow dart to cut them, but when it touched the chains, it passed right through.

"The trait 'Hurricane Piercing Sky Seal' actually has no effect?"

"Deal with the willow branches, and the chains will naturally dissipate," Yan Shuangling's voice came from afar.

Since there was no way to deal with the chains, Gu Ye picked up the hurricane shadow dart and focused on cutting the willow branches, guarding against a sneak attack from the Human Armor Willow Crab.

The Human Armor Willow Crab stared at Gu Ye, not daring to make any moves for a moment. It couldn't help but be cautious; Gu Ye's skill from just a moment ago had truly scared it. It was a Silver-level Monster, yet a casual skill from Gu Ye had caused it so much damage.

This kid is problematic...

"Puchi~" Ye Suxuan and the other person coordinated with Zhang Fei to quickly eliminate the bird monster. The group then helped Elegant Blade and Third Mother Li solve the other two bird monsters, harvesting a pile of card-making materials.

At this moment, Gu Ye's use of spiritual energy was sluggish. After finishing cutting the willow branches, he retreated to Yan Shuangling's side, staring fixedly at the Human Armor Willow Crab.

Now the Human Armor Willow Crab was also feeling a bit depressed. It had accepted Xu Yuanmo's invitation to deal with Night Dwelling Phoenix. Although Night Dwelling Phoenix's strength was restricted to the same level as its own, it still couldn't win. It wanted to eat a person to recover, but it couldn't even manage that. Sigh! Life...

However, since it couldn't beat these people, wasn't there still one person left alone? The Human Armor Willow Crab rolled its eyes, its gaze glancing covertly at Xu Yuanmo, which Xu Yuanmo did not notice.

Xu Yuanmo saw that the Human Armor Willow Crab was too cowardly to step forward and wasn't coming to help, and he also saw that Chu Ling and the others had already finished off the bird monsters.

A trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes. He introspected into the card within his spiritual space, and after a long while, he finally gave up on using it. Xu Yuanmo felt that now was not the time.

"'He' hasn't appeared yet, so it shouldn't be used here. Anyway, the item has already been obtained; if all else fails, I'll just run away!"

Xu Yuanmo was still indecisive, but Night Dwelling Phoenix was getting a bit impatient. The Jade-Faced Grenade King's grenade attack power wasn't high, but it was too annoying.

A flash of light appeared in Night Dwelling Phoenix's eyes. Streams of ghostly energy surged from the vertical flute in her hand, instantly enveloping the protective shield. The protective shield emitted a "sizzling" sound. The Jade-Faced Grenade King wanted to increase the thickness of the shield, but it was already too late. Only a "crack" sound was heard, and the protective shield shattered instantly.

Night Dwelling Phoenix flashed to the side of the Jade-Faced Grenade King, and the emerald green vertical flute struck its body fiercely, splashing sparks, leaving a large concave area on the front of the Jade-Faced Grenade King.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanmo hurriedly shouted, "Jade-Faced Grenade King, [Targeting - Teleportation Grenade]."

At the position of the Jade-Faced Grenade King, a grenade exploded, and it teleported out of Night Dwelling Phoenix's attack range.

[Thunderstorm Magnetic Grenade]!

After the Jade-Faced Grenade King stabilized its figure, its mechanical eyes emitted a burst of red light, and its arm position transformed into a cannon barrel, from which a grenade flickering with electric light was fired.

The Human Armor Willow Crab's pupils dilated; it felt a deadly crisis from the grenade. In an instant, its face took on a gloating expression as it looked at Night Dwelling Phoenix, muttering, "Blast her to death! Blast her to death!"

Although it said that, it also felt that such a meager attack would hardly be able to kill it, let alone this stinking woman.

It slowly moved its crab legs and walked toward Xu Yuanmo. Gu Ye and the others also felt the fierce battle here and watched the grenade shoot toward Night Dwelling Phoenix.

A trace of joy flashed in Night Dwelling Phoenix's eyes. She released most of her defenses and feigned an attack, whispering, "Just enough!"

The moment the grenade made contact with Night Dwelling Phoenix, a powerful thunderstorm enveloped her.

"Ah~" Night Dwelling Phoenix let out two symbolic screams.

Powerful lightning bolts pierced through her body. Lightning had a special attack effect on ghostly monsters. Scorched by the lightning, wisps of smoke rose from her body, and Gu Ye and the others seemed to smell the scent of roasted meat.

After the thunderstorm dissipated, Night Dwelling Phoenix reappeared in everyone's vision. Her exquisite face was scorched black by the lightning, her ink-black hair was somewhat curled, and she held the vertical flute tightly with both hands, looking furious, but in her heart, she was thinking:

"My acting skills are top-notch; I even won the Ghost Realm Golden Statue Award back in the day."
