Selene saw this and quickly chased after her, calling out to Qingque.
"Wait! This trip might be risky, why don't I go with you?"
Selene stood in front of Qingque, saying, though her blocking the way was actually useless.
"You know it's risky and you still want to come with me?" Qingque asked back, her tone a little helpless.
"Ah? This..."
Before Selene could continue, Qingque picked her up by the scruff of her neck and tossed her back into the Archives.
Selene: I...
After closing the Archives door, Qingque glanced at the location Fu Xuan had sent her on her jade amulet.
After confirming the exact location of the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You, Qingque set off.
She wasn't intentionally leaving Selene behind; it was just that her own strength was limited, and the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You's attack method was quite special!
Once it locked onto a target, it wouldn't change targets until it had pounded the current one to death.
Qingque herself had no problem dealing with it, but if she brought Selene... what if Little one was unlucky and got targeted? She wasn't confident she could kill that big guy in one hit...
Inside the Archives, Selene prepared to open the door and follow.
She had been on the Xianzhou for so long and had never encountered these monsters; she really wanted to see them up close.
However, the Archives door seemed to have been locked by Qingque, so she couldn't get out.
But... the window wasn't closed.
After getting outside, Selene suddenly said something nonsensical: "Ahem! Qingque's trip might be risky! But since you insist on going! This Meow will just have to follow secretly!"
...At the edge of the Divination Commission, the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You was roaming nearby, constantly looking around, seemingly searching for something.
The Diviners in the vicinity had received the message early and had evacuated the area long ago.
For these ordinary Diviners, they did not possess the strength to deal with this big guy!
In fact, most Diviners did not have combat capabilities.
Qingque saw the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You from a great distance.
"Hmm... I'll draw a tile here first." Qingque murmured softly.
It was at this moment that a miniature card table appeared in her hand, with three di yuan jade tiles placed on it.
Selene, who had stealthily followed behind Qingque, naturally saw all of this.
This made Selene a little surprised; she hadn't expected Qingque to actually fight with tiles?! Hmm... the game didn't lie to her.
At the same time, after getting ready, Qingque walked towards the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You with the card table.
The Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You also seemed to realize someone had arrived and slowly turned to face Qingque.
As it turned around, Qingque had already thrown the qiongyu cards she held in her hand! And it accurately hit the head of the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You!
The Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You, hit in the head, looked up and let out a furious roar!
Seeing this, Qingque understood that this guy had activated its target lock and would now chase after the locked person and beat them up!
And since she was the only one around, there was no doubt she was the one locked on!
Therefore, Qingque had already prepared to dodge; as soon as the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You in front of her jumped up! Qingque would immediately dodge and seize the opportunity to attack!
What happened next was mostly as Qingque expected, but with a slight deviation!
When Qingque saw the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You jump up, she instantly leaped to the side and threw a qiongyu cards at the spot where she had just been standing!
But when Qingque looked in that direction, she didn't see the Abundance Spirit Beast - Chang You.
Qingque: ??? Where did it go?
Seeing the opponent disappear, Qingque became a little flustered instead!
After all, if this thing landed a punch without warning, she probably wouldn't be able to stand up!
"Sigh! If Grand Diviner was here, it would be great! With her around, even if this thing punches me, it wouldn't hurt!"
As soon as Qingque finished speaking, a certain Little Kitten's 'national quintessence' sound came from the side.
"Holy crap! I hid behind a trash can and still got found?!"
Selene exclaimed, jumping to the side, successfully dodging a punch from the Ape God!
Hearing the sound, Qingque quickly looked behind her.
She saw a Little Kitten being chased by a giant "ape"! But that Little Kitten managed to dodge the "ape's" attacks every time!
"Huh?! Selene?! Why are you here!" Qingque asked, somewhat shocked.
"Shouldn't you be dealing with this guy right now?! Take it down first!"
Selene said, looking back at the Ape God behind her, just in time to see the big guy jump into the air again, raising its fist and smashing it down towards her!
Selene dared not be distracted anymore and focused on dodging the Ape God's attacks!
It was also fortunate that this thing was different from the game, its attacks could be dodged!
Otherwise, with just that one punch, Selene could have seen her future!
And for the next ten minutes or so, the scene became... Selene constantly running, and while running, she also had to pay attention to dodging the Ape God's attacks!
As for Qingque, since the Ape God's target lock was on Selene, she could output damage with peace of mind.
But unfortunately, the Ape God's pursuit speed was very fast, and with all the jumping around, almost all of Qingque's qiongyu cardss hit near the Ape God's backside... This made the already angry Ape God extremely furious! It chased Selene even faster! Its punches were even harder!
Selene: Holy crap! It's not me hitting you!
...Ten minutes later, Selene lay weakly on the ground, somewhat resembling the state after being bullied by Fu Xuan for an entire night.
Qingque was no better off, sitting on the ground, panting heavily.
The ground around the person and the cat was covered in numerous craters of varying sizes, all results of being pounded by that Ape God!
As for the culprit, it was also lying on the ground, lifeless.
"So... you followed me the whole way?" Qingque asked Selene, panting.
Selene did not answer, as she had no strength left to speak.
Mainly, constantly dodging the Ape God's attacks had truly exhausted all the stamina of her, a cat who rarely exercised!
Seeing Selene ignore her, Qingque didn't press further, because she could tell that Selene had no strength to speak.
And she herself had also consumed a lot of stamina during the battle just now.
After resting for a while, Qingque stood up from the ground, then walked in front of Selene, preparing to carry her back.
It was at this moment that a familiar voice sounded behind Qingque!
