The Blood Moon hung high, black clouds pressing low.
Feng Qi stood atop a tall building, overlooking the Star City Shelter.
This time, he had come to the city ruins without consulting any data. With ample time, he didn't spot little black.
Confident in his temporary safety, he leaped from the rooftop.
The Goat-Headed Demons behind him followed suit, one after another.
As he landed, dull thuds echoed behind him, sending shattered stones flying across the street.
Looking up, he saw Three-Tailed wagging his tails—left, then right—his body swaying in rhythm. His raised head seemed to taunt, "Come on, hit me!"
Protected by the Goat-Headed Demons, Feng Qi immediately shifted into human form and clenched his fist at Three-Tailed.
Telekinesis surged toward Three-Tailed like a tidal wave.
The swaying Three-Tailed froze instantly, his body paralyzed.
But before Feng Qi could make his next move, a purple mist emerged in Three-Tailed's eyes. The telekinesis clinging to his body vanished in an instant, as if melting before a hot knife.
Feng Qi felt a sharp pain in his head.
[Oh, a mental countermeasure ability. Not bad. You'll definitely have to kill it when you get the chance. This ability perfectly complements your melee combat skills, allowing you to handle mental control abilities with ease.]
Watching the Three-Tailed continue to wag its tail back and forth, Feng Qi sighed inwardly.
This Three-Tailed had clearly latched onto him.
Wherever he went, the Three-Tailed followed, dancing and taunting him like a persistent demon, always within his line of sight.
It was like those players in a game who, even when they couldn't win, insisted on dancing under the tower to annoy their opponents.
I can't beat you, but I can still make your life miserable.
The problem was, in a game, you could try to tower dive and force a kill. But Feng Qi couldn't even touch the Three-Tailed.
Just as he was about to ignore the Three-Tailed and continue exploring the city ruins, intense energy fluctuations erupted from the creature. A stream of solidified energy liquid poured from its head, eventually coalescing into Feng Qi's form.
The excess energy then condensed into an energy-based Three-Tailed.
To Feng Qi's astonishment, the energy Three-Tailed leaped up and swatted the energy-formed him across the face with its tail, sending him sprawling to the ground.
Like a repeating GIF, the energy-simulated Three-Tailed began pummeling "him" with a flurry of attacks.
[Hahaha, the mockery is off the charts! This Three-Tailed is quite something. It actually made me laugh.]
Hearing this, Feng Qi's forehead veins throbbed. He immediately advanced with the Goat-Headed Demon.
This was the first time he'd encountered a domain creature so vindictive.
Wherever he looked, Three-Tailed would leap there and start causing trouble, making it impossible to ignore.
During his search, he finally spotted a domain creature he could hunt at the end of the street.
This creature's body was coated in what appeared to be hardened armor, resembling an alligator. It was roughly three meters long, with a pale blue gem embedded in its head that shimmered under the Blood Moon.
It was currently staring directly at Feng Qi.
Noticing the Goat-Headed Demon behind him, the creature paused in surprise before quickly scrambling sideways.
Having finally found prey, Feng Qi wouldn't let it escape.
He lunged forward, his human form instantly shifting into Battle Body Form.
His running speed surpassed the domain creature's. He tackled it just before it could enter a dilapidated building.
Iron fists rained down like hailstones.
The alligator-like creature's armored hide was incredibly tough. Feng Qi's punches were absorbed and dissipated throughout his body, rapidly neutralizing their impact.
However, it could still inflict damage.
Feng Qi rode it, smashing through numerous buildings along the way, yet he couldn't stop it.
The Goat-Headed Demons, who had been following closely, seized their chance.
They leaped onto the crocodile-like domain creature, their hands igniting with crimson flames. Then, they began furiously pummeling it.
Under the combined assault of the Goat-Headed Demons, the crocodile-like domain creature's stamina rapidly depleted.
Just as Feng Qi thought he was about to kill it, Three-Tailed suddenly appeared nearby, his eyes swirling with purple light.
The already dying domain creature began thrashing violently again.
[Oh, it knows Mental Manipulation Technique. But it can only work when the crocodile monster's mental defenses are weak. Otherwise, it would have already used the Goat-Headed Demons to attack you.]
Hearing the Narrator's warning, Feng Qi glared fiercely at Three-Tailed, who was watching from a distance.
Noticing Feng Qi's gaze, Three-Tailed's head overflowed with energy, forming an energy image of himself and Feng Qi.
He began simulating an energy animation of "Three-Tailed beating up Feng Qi."
Seeing this, Feng Qi raised his fist and slammed it down on the crocodile-like domain creature's head.
[Tsk tsk tsk, you're just like the saying: impotent rage.]
