Phantom Eyes Dark Tiger
“Dula!” A small head big ant curled its antennas to point at its eyes and repeated, “Dula.”
“We have to blind it in order to kill it?”
The small head big ant shook its head and pointed to its eyes as it blinked.
“Oh, I get it. You mean to say that blinding its two visible eyes is useless, and we should blind its phantom eyes?”
They needed a plan to lift the cat’s eyelids and “operate” on its dangerous eyes. The pain of losing an eye would jolt it awake. The safest approach was to blind all three eyes simultaneously. One of its phantom eyes was in the centre of its forward, and the other two were situated on either side.
Mu Yu gestured for his team to retreat and stand by. He crept over to the cat on his toes. Even though it was asleep, its aura was frightening. He warily tried to pry open one eye, but it was clamped down hard. Pulling any harder on it was too risky. He, therefore, got back up and begin juggling ideas.
“Guess I don’t have a choice.”
Mu Yu went back to his team. His only option was to force the cat open its phantom eyes. They couldn’t do that because it deemed them unworthy of its full power. Thus, the only way to force open its phantom eyes was to blind its two visible eyes.
Mu Yu approached the super-stinky ferret. Besides unleashing pungent farts, it also had venom that could blind any fiend beast permanently – provided it wasn’t a level six fiend beast. It was only going to blind the phantom eyes dark cat for two to four hours, so poisoning it to death was farcical.
Pinching his nose, Mu Yu collected some venom from the super-stinky ferret and cautiously spread it onto the cat’s eyelids, even trying to slip some in between its eyelids. Subsequently, he spread it onto the three phantom eyes, piling layer on top of layer. Nevertheless, the cat had thick fur masking its weakness, rendering Mu Yu’s effort for naught.
“What does the ferret eat? Not even Xiaoshuai stinks this b-, whoa!”
The venom didn’t wake the phantom eyes dark cat; the stink did! It got up and started rubbing its two visible eyes. Somehow, it could pinpoint Mu Yu’s whereabouts and whipped its arm down. Luckily for him, he managed to run in time.
“Bring out Black Shield!”
The cat furiously roared not just because it was blind but also because the stink impaired its smell. The three phantom eyes finally made their appearance! The moment it opened its eyes, the venom around them went away. Its energy level doubled, and its bones began to crack as it grew larger and larger until it was the size of a small house. Its furs turned into spikes, while its tail was best described as an iron cudgel. This form was called phantom eyes dark tiger.
With another roar, it modified the landscape and charged straight toward the formation.
“Winged Shadow Condor, Great Peng, spread your wings!”
The winged shadow condor took over the main role of the formation. Hence, the others offered its wings their fiend energy. Flapping its wings vigorously, it lifted the entire formation up. Mu Yu assumed the phantom eyes dark tiger couldn’t fly and decided to use that to gain an advantage.
“Small Head Big Ant, close your eyes. I know you’re afraid of heights, so keep them shut, idiot!” Recalling sassy Lan Ling’er poking fun at his fear of heights in his early days, Mu Yu changed his tone and said, “It doesn’t matter what your race is. Fear of heights is normal, and those with a fear of heights have better futures. Shut your eyes, buddy.”
The hornet went over to the small head big ant and offered to guide it.
With only one eye left, the phantom eyes dark tiger’s vision suffered immensely. Nonetheless, one leap was all it took to jump up to the formation’s height, which was several hundred metres off the ground!
In its new form, the phantom eyes dark tiger would’ve finished them in one swing. The condor was quick enough to slip the swing. Mu Yu was right when he assumed his foe was incapable of flying. Once it missed its swing, it landed back on the ground – that was not to say it didn’t spring straight back up.
“Nine Year Spiky Pigs, serve it a hail of needles!”
Four nine year spiky pigs hopped to the top and curled up into spinning spiky balls, firing off spikes out from within the formation. Unbelievably, the spikes bounced off the monster coming back up. Hearing the tiger rage upon landing because one spike nearly pierced its eye, Mu Yu cheered, “Yes! We just need to stay high in the sky and prick its eye!”
Realising it was at a disadvantage against Mu Yu’s tactic, the phantom eyes dark tiger calmed down to think.
“Come on, jump up, hahaha!” Mu Yu goaded.
The phantom eyes dark tiger didn’t let Mu Yu get to it. It opened its fourth and fifth eye. The shockwave of energy that accompanied its full awakening nearly blew Mu Yu’s team out of the sky. The tiger grew double in size and grew two black transparent wings with a span of thirty-three metres. Of course, the next thing it did was fly up…
“You have to be joking… You can fly now?!”
