Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Inescapable

An hour passed quickly, and Wang Wu finally 'sobered up'.

Not daring to continue wandering, he quickly found a patch of grass, remained silent for three seconds, and entered the Level 5 Concealment State.

Daytime is often the most dangerous time, many Little Demons choose to hibernate, but there are exceptions.

Those are the Armed Swarms.

Throughout the morning, Wang Wu actually saw three groups of Armed Swarms, relentlessly searching for wildflowers in the valley as if there wasn't a single demon in sight.

This forced Wang Wu to immediately retreat to a further place whenever he spotted the Armed Swarms from afar, going through this ordeal three or five times.

In fact, he had considered whether to provoke one of the Armed Swarms. With his current Life Value and two-point Bee Venom Resistance, killing a few wild bees shouldn't be a problem.

But in the end, he chose not to take the risk. It's daylight, after all, and if a giant eagle suddenly flew by, how could he escape?

Besides, another reason was that ever since encountering that green-headed fly today, he's felt a bit uneasy, as if he were being targeted.

In such a situation, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. One mustn't have a fluke mentality: his Level 5 Danger Perception shouldn't be wrong.

At noon, when Wang Wu once again changed locations, entering the Level 5 Concealment State in a patch of grass, he still felt somewhat uneasy, but when he focused, the feeling seemed to vanish.

As for information prompts, he couldn't rely on them. They weren't his golden finger.

Countless times have proven that these information prompts always arrive, albeit delayed.

Often, the battle would be over before corresponding data emerged.

"Could it be? Have I caught a plague, or have I been cursed by that green-headed fly?"

A bit of anxiety filled Wang Wu's heart. Although it wasn't enough to break the Level 5 Concealment State, it did prevent him from feeling at ease.

"Even Level 5 Concealment cannot shake off this feeling; either I am truly cursed, sick, or I am constantly being tracked, but because the distance is too great, I can't perceive more information."

"Damn, could it be those Black Spiders chasing me?"

This thought flashed in his mind, and Wang Wu was startled. After all, the Black Spiders and their whole family are indeed quite strange. Being able to raise Fly Warriors, it's not surprising if they engage in other tricks, weird tactics, or have a strong sense of revenge.

Thinking of this, Wang Wu couldn't help but feel a bit lucky. It's only due to his Level 5 Danger Perception that he has this inexplicable feeling of unease. If it were Level 4 Danger Perception, he might not detect anything wrong.

But what should he do?

His Level 5 Danger Perception hasn't detected the tracker, indicating that the opponent is far enough away and must have a wide field of vision.

Moreover, if the opponent has been tracking him from the beginning, there is no need to break Level 5 Concealment. Just determining which patch of grass he's hiding in or his approximate location would be enough.

Then, they just need to observe from afar, making any changes in his hiding place futile!

"However, the tracker has been following me all morning without making a move. Is it because daylight is too dangerous?"

"If that's the case, then dusk must be the moment when the opponent launches the final attack."

Wang Wu came to this conclusion, and after thinking about it, he didn't try to change his hiding place again. He felt this location was suitable for a battlefield.

Yes, he was already preparing for battle. The opponent's tracker was too skilled to shake off, so this was the only option left.

And with his current Life Value of 170 points, 8 points of Power, and 10 points of Defense, he should still be capable of a fight.

Especially since his Spider Poison Resistance has reached perfection.

After the hot noon, the sky suddenly gathered rolling clouds, with not a trace of wind, making everything in the world seem like it was placed in an oven, about to be cooked through.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder resounded, fierce winds arose, and torrents of rain poured down.

At this moment, Wang Wu felt ecstatic, running as fast as he could. He didn't believe that in such adverse weather conditions, the tracker could continue to lock onto him.

However, out of nowhere, a sudden sense of crisis arose in his heart. Without much thought, he instinctively rolled to the side, rolling three to four meters away.

His reaction couldn't be described as slow, but what he never expected was that a wisp of cold air followed him closely, erupting by his side!

Oh no!

The next second, the dense raindrops around him seemed to suddenly gain consciousness, freezing in mid-air. In an instant, centered around Wang Wu's body, they transformed into a huge block of ice!

He was sealed within it, unable to move.

It's that White Rat, damn it, how could it be?

And in these few days it seems stronger; no, is it enhanced by the torrential rain?

Last time, they attacked the Flame Scorpion during a downpour.

So, its Ice Magic requires a large amount of water flow to increase its power?

While Wang Wu quickly pondered in the ice block, he saw that White Rat approaching. Now it seemed more like a wise mouse; not only could it walk upright like a human, but it also wore an incongruous gray robe, clearly a robe, but with a peculiar symbol printed on the front. What could it mean?

Wang Wu stared in horror at this White Rat. A layer of strange phosphorescence surrounded its body, blocking the torrential rain which was then absorbed, transforming into more mist, which the White Rat used some method to condense in its hand, gradually forming an Ice Spear!

As the Ice Spear gradually took shape, Wang Wu's Level 5 Danger Perception screamed, akin to a 980 graphics card encountering a black monkey game...

This sense of danger even exceeded the constraint of the ice block; what kind of method was this? It seemed much stronger than last time!

But at this moment, Wang Wu was already frozen, with no chance to escape.

He could only watch helplessly as the Ice Spear took form, becoming lifelike and increasingly dangerous.

And so nine seconds passed. Just as the ice block imprisoning Wang Wu began to loosen, allowing escape, the White Rat's Ice Spear completed its formation, launching a strike!

In that instant, Wang Wu's vision went black, his heart seemed to stop, and his mind blanked out.

The breath of death was so close!

A whole three seconds later, like a drowned person finally coming back to life, he opened his eyes to find himself lying in the mud. The ice block had vanished, but the Ice Spear appeared to pierce his chest, penetrating his heart.

Only then did a few lines of information slowly appear.

"You encountered the advanced, fully cataloged White-Browed Rat King!"

"You were trapped by Ice Magic, sustaining 15 points of cold burn damage, but since you have 5 points of Ice Resistance, you evaded all cold burn damage."

"The White-Browed Rat King used a special item on you—a Ice Cone Talisman, causing 100 points of piercing damage. Due to your 10 points of Defense, you evaded 30 points of piercing damage, ultimately taking 70 points of damage."

"The White-Browed Rat King cast an Ice Cone Spell on you, causing 40 points of piercing damage. Due to your 10 points of Defense, you ultimately took 10 points of damage."

"You were attacked by an Ice Cone... you ultimately took 8 points of damage."

"You were attacked by an Ice Cone... you ultimately took 10 points of damage."

"You were attacked by an Ice Cone... you ultimately took 5 points of damage."

Jeez, a combo plus a big move plus a trump card, it actually blasted away 103 points of his Life Value!
