MONSTER PARADISE

1141-1160

However, the Nightmare Tapir sensed something was off as soon as it retaliated. He mauled and broke the momentum of Busby’s attack, even ripping his body open.

At that very moment, Busby appeared quietly not far behind Lin Huang. He charged a sword arm out like a lightning bolt at Lin Huang.

This time, the Nightmare Tapir did not seem to have made it in time. The dark gray tentacle arrived before Lin Huang in the blink of an eye. In the next second, a strange thing happened again. The tentacle penetrated Lin Huang’s body directly.

Busby’s pupils shrunk while he thrust the tentacle out again, feeling immensely dissatisfied. He attempted to grab Lin Huang with it, but Lin Huang’s body would turn into thin air wherever the tentacle passed by.

Since the capture failed completely, Busby did not hesitate at all. He retreated the tentacle directly and flung it toward another direction like a mad man.

However, two silhouettes blocked his way less than a second after he began running.

Lin Huang and the Nightmare Tapir appeared at the same time.

“You won’t be able to run,” Lin Hung told him the truth in a calm tone again.

Busby ignored them and accelerated the flapping of the two pairs of wings behind his back. With his four legs, he leaped and deviated toward another direction.

Lin Huang and the Nightmare Tapir appeared in the next second again, blocking his way abruptly.

Busby did not even sense any wave of motion from the teleportation at all.

He turned around to run again, beginning to wonder how the Nightmare Tapir and Lin Huang managed to move like that.

When the duo blocked his way for the third time, Busby seemed to realize something all of a sudden.

He did not run this time. Instead, he stared at the Nightmare Tapir. “I think I know what’s happening.

“The way you move and the way Lin Xie disappeared didn’t cause any motion waves at all. Therefore, I’ve always thought it was some special ability of yours. Now that I think about it, the reason there’s no wave motion is that you guys didn’t move at all.

“Lin Xie managed to vanish and you could block my way faster than I did because this entire area is your territory. I’ve stepped into the trap that you set since the beginning!”

“It seems like you’re not entirely dumb.” The Nightmare Tapir did not deny Busby’s speculation.

“I’ve thought about it. My only shortcoming is that my spirit that’s rather weak. Since I fell into your trap without even realizing it at all, it shows that you should be an expert in spiritual techniques. It could be abilities such as illusion or hypnotization.

“However, if your spiritual ability is so powerful to the extent that I was trapped without even realizing it, theoretically, you shouldn’t be able to suppress my close-range combat ability.

“If I’m not mistaken, you might not be that skilled in close-range combat at all. This might not be what you look like. Perhaps you transformed into this to make me think that you’re good at close-range combat.”

“You got the first part right, but this is how I really look like,” insisted the Nightmare Tapir rather helplessly. Its appearance indeed misled many.

“The reason why I failed to capture Lin Huang twice was that he’s just a projection, am I right?” Busby turned his head to look at Lin Huang.

“You finally got it!” Lin Huang grinned while spreading his arms wide. He did not deny it. “I’ve only used a sliver of willpower in this projection to watch the battle.”
