Chapter 312: Chapter 156 Best of Luck_1
Li Qiuyu, after being dragged out by Wang Tao, couldn’t stand firm, her body having gone limp. She had been frightened badly and could only let Wang Tao hold her, curling up in his embrace.
Wang Tao whispered in her ear:
“Sorry about this, I need to borrow your daughter for a bit!”
Before Li Qiuyu could react, she saw Wang Tao suddenly shout:
“Jiang Shixue! Come out! Help me or I’ll kill her!”
“…”
Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded, not understanding what Wang Tao was up to.
Why was he treating Li Qiuyu like this? And who was Jiang Shixue?
“You—what are you trying to do!”
Li Qiuyu’s eyes widened instantly, her face full of confusion as she looked at Wang Tao.
“I can’t lure this monster away by myself, I need a helper.”
Wang Tao told the truth.
This Black Mist Monster could affect people’s spirits, and Wang Tao felt he might not be able to withstand its Mental Attack.
But Jiang Shixue should be able to, since she also had abilities related to the spirit, and she had said that she had been close to this Black Mist Monster before.
So Wang Tao planned to find Jiang Shixue for help. His coming out to lure the monster didn’t mean he was going to throw his life away. However, Jiang Shixue definitely wouldn’t appear easily, so he needed to use some special methods.
As to whether Jiang Shixue was around, Wang Tao was certain.
Because ever since he had escaped from the base, he felt a gaze occasionally fixating on him, a very familiar sensation—it was Jiang Shixue!
Therefore, Wang Tao decided to take a gamble.
If he won the bet, he would still have a chance of surviving. If he lost the bet, then he could only leave it to fate…
“You, you can’t drag Little Xue into this, she’s already…”
Li Qiuyu looked at Wang Tao in disbelief.
Of course, she didn’t want to die, but as a mother, she was even less willing to let her daughter die. If given a choice, she would rather take her daughter’s place! This was her selfishness as a mother…
Wang Tao shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but this is the only thing I can do.”
Wang Tao didn’t wish to do this, but he had no other choice. If the attraction failed, everyone would die!
“No, you can’t…”
Li Qiuyu’s eyes started to look a bit glassy as she shook her head.
The others were all puzzled, not knowing what Wang Tao was up to, only Han Rui and Ding Yuqin exchanged glances with each other, some disbelief in their eyes.
The cluster of black mist was still slowly descending upstairs. It seemed in no hurry to attack everyone, as if it were playing cat and mouse.
Suddenly, everyone felt a flash before their eyes.
A petite figure, dressed in dirty clothes and a hooded head down, appeared not far from Wang Tao and Li Qiuyu.
She lifted her head, and all everyone could see was a pair of red eyes.
“Let go… or… you die!”
Jiang Shixue’s voice was very hoarse and stiff, sounding somewhat uncomfortable to hear.
Li Qiuyu opened her mouth; she hadn’t expected her daughter to actually be there! For a moment, her feelings were extremely mixed and intense.
Wang Tao gave a wry smile and glanced at the Black Mist Monster, which was about to reach the ground, feeling an ever-increasing pressure. He said to Jiang Shixue:
“Do me a favor, help me lure this monster away!”
Jiang Shixue didn’t seem to understand Wang Tao’s words, her tone extremely stiff as she said:
“You… let her go!”
Wang Tao had just put his hand on Li Qiuyu’s neck without actually squeezing, but seeing Jiang Shixue like this, he applied a bit of pressure.
“Ergh—”
Li Qiuyu immediately felt like she couldn’t breathe, her face turning red. She glared at Wang Tao fiercely; this was the second time!
“Help me with this, and she has a chance of surviving. Don’t help me, and we all die.”
Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue with an indifferent expression.
“… Let her go! I… agree!”
Seeing that Jiang Shixue finally gave in, Wang Tao turned around and stuffed Li Qiuyu into the car, then closed the door firmly.
Li Qiuyu began frantically pounding on the car door from inside.
“Wang Tao! I hate you! If you get Little Xue killed, I will kill you! You must return safely with Little Xue, or else I swear I’ll kill you with my own hands!”
Looking at Li Qiuyu’s state, Wang Tao smiled, then turned to the others.
“Take care everyone! I will come for you soon!”
“Wang Tao…”
“Big brother…”
Wang Tao didn’t say any more, but ran towards Jiang Shixue and grabbed her arm, then ran towards the Black Mist Monster!
As they ran, a Longbow suddenly appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.
This was a trophy he had obtained from killing an archer zombie before. The bow was excellent, with great power, but it was difficult to operate, so Wang Tao usually used a crossbow.
But after his strength had increased, the crossbow seemed somewhat insufficient, so Wang Tao had given it to Ding Yuqin.
Jiang Shixue’s red glow flickered slightly; she hadn’t seen clearly where Wang Tao had pulled the bow from.
While running, Wang Tao drew the bow and set an arrow.
Under the ability of Precision Shooting, his arrow shot straight into the mass of black mist.
But once the arrow entered the mist, nothing happened, and no damage notifications popped up above the mist. It was still at full HP.
“Didn’t hit?”
Wang Tao frowned slightly.
He quickly shot several more arrows, all of which went into the dark mass, but still, no damage notifications appeared.
“…”
Looking at the black mist drawing closer, Wang Tao grew nervous.
Was the Black Mist Monster this strong? Could it completely ignore his attacks?!
If he couldn’t damage the Black Mist Monster, how was he going to lure it…
