After seeing Elder Baoping's continuous moves, Mu Fei immediately praised, "The elder is still agile!"

Tan Xiao suspected that he was the only one in the world who didn't know Elder Baoping was a cat. He had wondered "how could the elder bring a cat everywhere, even into a fight", and had already become suspicious, but the elder's Taoist demeanor was too misleading.

After repelling the terrier with light cat steps, Elder Baoping quietly guarded his position. The terrier, beaten and confused, looked at him warily, not daring to move for a while.

"That... how should I address him," Tan Xiao didn't know for a moment how to call the old Taoist priest who had been holding Elder Baoping, and looked at the slightly puzzled Mu Fei, "No one ever told me Elder Baoping is a cat!"

"Ah, is that so?" Only then did Mu Fei realize that Tan Xiao had been treating the elder as an ordinary orange cat. This was a huge misunderstanding, because the elder cultivated in silence, and there was no evil aura on his body from years of practice, so he had been mistaken for several months. "The one holding the cat is the elder's disciple, Taoist Priest Qingfeng."

Tan Xiao: "..."

What a classic disciple name, like "clear breeze, bright moon", right?

And the disciple is already at this age, just how long has the elder lived?

"...Taoist Priest Qingfeng, can you see if Fang Zhu has fainted?" Tan Xiao asked loudly.

Qingfeng had already pulled Fang Zhu to a safe area, and went to knock on his shell. Fang Zhu's shell opened slightly, the soft flesh reflecting a faint glow under the moonlight, and he groaned in a low voice, "My fetal energy has shifted, I can't move."

Everyone: "!!"

Tan Xiao was anxious. He hadn't thought that monsters could also have unstable pregnancies. "How could your fetal energy shift? It won't cause a miscarriage, right?"

"...With such a large diameter, if it falls, it would be the death of both." Fang Zhu said with difficulty. He also didn't expect the terrier to rush over, startling his fetal energy in one go. To be honest, although the clam tribe had a tradition of pregnancy pearls, the situation was still rare, and he didn't have much experience.

"Then take a deep breath first and stabilize." Tan Xiao continued to aim at the terrier, thinking to beat this guy first, and then... then go find a vet?? Or an aquaculture company?

Fang Zhu obediently began to take deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling the moonlight energy.

The terrier barked a few times, knowing that the situation was now urgent for both sides and it must break the deadlock quickly. It didn't immediately charge, but howled at the sky like a husky: "Awoo--Awoo--"

The moonlight energy that was difficult to observe with the naked eye was sucked into its mouth. Its body crouched, and then it pounced fiercely towards Elder Baoping!

Elder Baoping narrowed his cat eyes, still daring to come?

The terrier pounced on the orange cat, and the two balls of fur rolled together. The dog's mouth tried to hold the cat's head, and the cat's claws scratched at the dog's face. The most shocking battles often used simple and unadorned methods.

Tan Xiao looked at his slingshot on the side, feeling that the scene was even more down-to-earth, but he couldn't care about that. He aimed at the dog's legs to assist Elder Baoping.

The pellets wrapped in runes shot towards the two rolling fur balls. Elder Baoping's ear tips burst with blood and he jumped away silently--

Tan Xiao's pupils contracted. He could be sure that he absolutely did not shoot Elder Baoping by mistake!

Looking again, the terrier was also howling and rolling on the ground. Its hind legs had burn marks, imprinted with faint rune strokes, clearly hit by Tan Xiao's pellets.

Mu Fei was about to step forward to grab the dog, when with a "bang", a hole the size of a fist was blasted into the concrete ground in front of her feet. A little closer and it could have hit her head, full of intimidation.

Tan Xiao looked to the northwest, it came from that direction!

Mu Fei stood frozen in place, her soul not yet recovered from the shock.

The next attack came in a flash. Fang Zhu suddenly pounced out and blocked in front of Mu Fei. His shell was hit with a deep dent, and a metal object fell to the ground. Everyone could see clearly, glinting in the moonlight, it was a shell casing.

"It's that... it's it..." Fang Zhu said in a muffled voice, "I was hit on the shell by this kind of long-range attack..."

Mu Fei was completely shocked. The demon hunters who had been chasing Fang Zhu before were actually in cahoots. To be able to hit Fang Zhu's shell like this, it was definitely not ordinary ammunition!

Huodou was also a great demon, and with the devouring nature of the Tiangou, they all thought it was enough to plan all this, even developing so-called "long-range attacks". They never imagined there were other accomplices, and judging from their actions, they even surpassed Huodou.

In the dark, there was a sniper capable of killing the Yunmeng clam. This realization made everyone present feel that their lives were in extreme danger!

The other party remained silent after Fang Zhu blocked one shot, perhaps observing, perhaps choosing the next sniping target...

Looking at the howling terrier now, everyone thought of a saying: when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner.

Who wouldn't want to temporarily avoid the sharp edge?

Tan Xiao looked down at the slingshot in his hand. Compared with the other party's sniper rifle, didn't it seem even more like a toy? His heart also beat faster and faster...

"Shaman? Shaman?" Liu Qingquan called to Tan Xiao in a low voice, but found that facing such a crisis, Tan Xiao lowered his head as if in a daze.

Tan Xiao was the planner and main executor of this operation, but after all, he was a high school student. Let alone him, how many people had been aimed at by a sniper rifle, one that combined the horrors of modern firearms and evil spirits.

The dog was barking, the cat was enduring, and the clam also burst into sobs.

That shot just now made Fang Zhu, who had already shifted his fetal energy, completely unable to bear it. "No, I, I'm going into labor!! What to do! What to do! Hurry and help me!"

Mu Fei wanted to say that she also didn't know how to deliver a clam, and with a great enemy overhead, she held back from saying it to avoid disturbing morale. "Okay, don't panic, I'm right here."

"Sister Mu, take out his clam pearl. Have you seen videos of opening pearls?"

Tan Xiao suddenly said.

Liu Qingquan looked over again and was surprised to find that after raising his head, Tan Xiao's expression was extremely calm. This high school student who was always relaxed and a little slow even made him feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

Mu Fei recalled the videos she had seen, and not caring about the sniper in the dark, she reached over and probed into Fang Zhu's body, only feeling a slippery sensation in her hands. She said with a stiff scalp, "Where is it?"

Before Fang Zhu could answer, the clam pearl inside his body jumped through the soft flesh, as if responding to Mu Fei, and also more conclusively confirming that Mu Fei was indeed the child's mother.

The terrier stood up limping, wanting to walk in the direction of its owner. Everyone hesitated. The first shot was on the cat's ear, the second shot was at Mu Fei's feet, and the third shot was on Fang Zhu's body. Each shot was so startling, where would the next one be?

"Thump!" Tan Xiao slapped the thunder drum with one palm. The drumhead seemed connected to his heart, and the terrier stumbled and fell to the ground, howling towards the northwest.

In the next moment, accompanied by the sound of air being pierced, a bullet came straight towards Tan Xiao. With a loud "bang", the drumhead was shattered!

The awaited bullet had arrived.

Tan Xiao was unscathed. On the ground, besides the broken drumhead, there was a twig. Only then did Liu Qingquan realize that from beginning to end, besides the art of concealment, Tan Xiao had also used the unique skill of Chu shamans - substituting himself with a twig. He had hidden a twig inside the drum and exchanged his form with it.

And it was precisely with this strike that Tan Xiao had clearly seen what he wanted - the direction the bullet came from.

He raised his toy-like slingshot and aimed at a window on the upper floor of the unfinished building, firing a pellet. The pellet was wrapped in a yellow talisman with the words: "Dare to move the universe."

The pellet naturally couldn't fly as far as a bullet, but the talisman had already ignited. Its energy stirred the yin and yang of the universe, shaking like tidal waves, taking the form of thunder and lightning, pouncing towards the unfinished building!

With a "clang", the metal railings of the unfinished building shook in unison from the invisible force.

Inside the building, the sniper made no further sound.

Tan Xiao let out a breath. This was the first time he felt a sense of horror, but when facing it, he became even calmer. He even felt a stubborn unwillingness to lose, wanting to confront the enemy head-on in that instant.

Liu Qingquan felt that if he were alive, he would definitely be drenched in sweat. Not just him, no one expected Tan Xiao to counterattack so decisively. If they had a little more time to discuss, they definitely wouldn't have agreed to let Tan Xiao use a slingshot to duel a sniper!

Liu Qingquan sighed softly, "Spirit masters are indeed tournament contenders. The more dangerous it is, the more it stimulates their potential and fighting spirit."

At this time, Mu Fei also gritted her teeth and pulled something out from Fang Zhu's body. In her palm was a huge, faintly glowing white pearl. Looking closely, there was actually a circle of talisman inscriptions engraved around the pearl from birth.

"Great, it's a female pearl," Fang Zhu said weakly.

Everyone's minds flashed with the same exasperated thought: How can you tell?

The terrier whimpered, seemingly sensing something, and staggered off towards the northwest, extremely tenacious.

No one expected this calamitous beast to be so tough. Everyone was about to stop it when they saw Fang Zhu finally recover his human form. He crawled up, tearfully snatched Tan Xiao's slingshot, grabbed the pearl from Mu Fei's hand, and shot at the beast!

This shot was filled with the grief and indignation of revenge.

This shot also had quite terrible aim...

The pearl directly hit the ground over two meters away from the terrier.

Mu Fei: "..."

Are you the biological father??

And you, in postpartum weakness... forget it, let Elder Baoping do it...

Even the terrier turned its head and looked at him with disdain.

But then the pearl bounced up from the ground and smacked it right on the head. The dog fainted with a thud.

The pearl then rolled back on its own, stopping by Mu Fei's feet.

Everyone: "............"

...What kind of automatic aiming and retrieval system is this!
