Chapter 458: The Rampage of the Female Vampire, Complete Form, Yu Yuan's New Idea |
Yu Yuan entered the final room.
He hadn't clearly heard what Xiao Xi said earlier when she deactivated the alarm traps.
But he didn't care.
Looking at the dozen or so exquisite wooden boxes meticulously arranged on the two display stands.
Yu Yuan had no intention of touching these boxes himself. He retreated outside the door.
Zhi Zhi emerged from Yu Yuan's shadow.
"Zhi Zhi, begin!"
In the next moment, large hands composed of shadow simultaneously reached for the wooden boxes on the display stands.
And the instant these shadow hands touched the boxes.
The shadow hands that touched the boxes were directly stained and corroded by this black blood.
They could actually corrode shadow. This was a situation never encountered before.
Zhi Zhi severed the connection with these shadow hands, reformed new shadow hands, and grabbed for those boxes again.
But soon, these hands were once again stained and corroded.
However, it was clearly noticeable that the speed of adhesion and corrosion had slowed down considerably this time.
At the same moment.
A faint sound came from the entrance in the secret chamber's wall.
Clearly, Xiao Xi had detected the alarm trap being triggered and was now activating the chamber with full effort.
Zhi Zhi continuously animated the shadow hands, eliminating the black blood adhering to these boxes.
But Yu Yuan had already discerned that this blood was likely a form of dark or corruption-attribute energy.
And when dealing with this kind of power, Mie Mie was the strongest combatant.
"Zhi Zhi, stop!"
Immediately after, Mie Mie and Yu Yuan de-equipped.
And the moment Mie Mie appeared, a pale green light, centered on Mie Mie, radiated outward.
All pollution, darkness, and evil energies were purified and eliminated by this pale green light.
The black blood adhering to the wooden boxes and display stands was naturally included, completely eradicated.
Zhi Zhi didn't need Yu Yuan to say more. The shadow hands reached for those boxes again.
This time, without any incident, the wooden boxes along with the display stands, including the pile of exquisite wooden boxes in the corner, were all packed up by Yu Yuan and stored into the Rabbit Ring.
The entire room became completely empty.
And the sound of sliding blocks rising and falling came from the secret chamber's wall door.
Xiao Xi's speed in opening the wall was actually faster than before. The wall began to slide apart to both sides.
Yu Yuan's eyes narrowed.
"Mie Mie, Zhi Zhi, equip... open the Shadow Dimension."
Mie Mie and Zhi Zhi disappeared again. An entrance to the Shadow Dimension appeared behind Yu Yuan.
Four grenades appeared in Yu Yuan's hand. [Neighborhood Shadow] used shadow to pull the grenade pins.
Yu Yuan threw the four grenades in his hand toward the entrance of the secret chamber wall.
He himself, however, leaped backward into the Shadow Dimension entrance.
Clatter clatter...
The grenades rolled on the ground. The Shadow Dimension entrance had already vanished.
The secret chamber wall finally revealed a narrow passage.
A black shadow crawled through the passage. It was the Human-Faced Spider.
Behind the passage was Xiao Xi's frost-like figure, her gaze fixed intently on the chamber.
But her ears twitched slightly.
She heard the sound of something rolling and instinctively looked toward the direction of the sound, her pupils abruptly constricting.
"Retreat..." She wanted to warn, but it was already too late.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM——
The Human-Faced Spider had just entered the chamber when it was engulfed by the oncoming grenade explosions.
The distance between them was less than two meters, and four grenades exploded simultaneously.
Dense shrapnel completely occupied the space within ten meters, with the Human-Faced Spider bearing the brunt.
Although Xiao Xi dodged in time, hiding behind the wall.
The shockwave of the explosion was still not to be underestimated.
Hiss——
A soul-shuddering hiss echoed within the chamber.
It was from that Human-Faced Spider.
A giant spider phantom, two meters in size, manifested on its body surface.
This phantom transformed into a shield, blocking all the shockwaves and shrapnel from the explosion.
But immediately after, the Human-Faced Spider rapidly expanded, its body merging with that spider phantom.
Along with the hissing sound, a rustling, scuttling noise filled the entire chamber.
Sssss—
A massive, black-fluorescent giant spider web materialized within the chamber.
The web seemed to condense directly from the void, enveloping the entire chamber.
Like an inescapable net.
All movement within the entire chamber fell under the control of this 'spider web,' especially the position of the chamber wall entrance, which was densely covered with webbing.
Clearly, the Human-Faced Spider's goal was to completely seal the chamber.
And from the black fluorescence emitted by these webs, one could tell the toughness of these silk strands was probably comparable to special alloy steel wire.
The Human-Faced Spider leaped up, landing at the center of the web.
Then, its abdomen spewed forth fist-sized 'little spiders,' which landed on the web and moved along it to other parts of the chamber, establishing surveillance.
The entire process took no more than two seconds.
This treasure vault chamber was under the Human-Faced Spider's control.
And outside the chamber.
Xiao Xi's appearance had also drastically changed.
Abandoning her previous glamorous image, she had transformed into a demoness.
Bat-like wings of flesh appeared behind her.
Her pupils turned crimson red, her eyes adorned with heavy black eyeliner and eyeshadow, combined with her pale skin and sharp teeth.
Her hair flowed around her, and dense red-black energy emanated from her entire body.
Utterly demonic, yet also appearing colder and more unapproachable.
The red-black energy completely sealed off the chamber wall entrance and exit.
Her gaze was sharp as a blade as she looked toward the chamber, but her heart had long since become an erupting volcano.
Rage.
Unprecedented rage.
"Damn thief, how did it get into my treasury, and at such a critical moment."
No one could answer this question.
Xiao Xi only wanted to catch that guy personally and then torture him mercilessly.
But what she didn't know was.
Right beside her, there was a person observing her in the most meticulous detail, face-to-face, cheek-to-cheek.
Of course, from another dimension.
The moment the explosions sounded, Yu Yuan had already exited the chamber via the wall entrance.
Because he understood very clearly that Xiao Xi would absolutely not let any thief in the chamber escape, not even a fly. She would inevitably impose restrictions.
Therefore, the moment the grenades exploded was the only opportunity.
If he missed this chance and got trapped inside the chamber, his only option would be to return to Green Forest City.
But having finally gotten such a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yu Yuan still wanted to gather more intelligence on Xiao Xi.
Furthermore, although the Motel Main Guest Room was already packed full, the Rabbit Ring still had some space...
It would be a shame not to fill it completely!
A thief never leaves empty-handed. Having finally become a thief for once, he must uphold professional ethics.
"Vampires actually have a second form? Is this a form unique to Silver-tier vampires, or is it Xiao Xi's unique ability?"
Yu Yuan looked with surprise at Xiao Xi's drastically changed appearance and began a 360-degree, no-blind-spot photographic survey around her.
He had no reason to let such precious intelligence slip by.
The only pity was that he couldn't obtain Xiao Xi's blood right now, otherwise he could have let Jiu Feng and the others conduct a thorough study.
But right now, he didn't have the guts to face a vampire in such a berserk state, especially a female vampire.
"What a shame! If I could get her genetic information, it would definitely be of extremely high value..."
"Huh... wait a moment..."
Yu Yuan suddenly froze for a second.
His gaze turned toward the direction of the stone chamber, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It seems... there might still be a chance!"
