My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 138 - 137: What Happened to the Mouth Escape?
Chapter 138: Chapter 137: What Happened to the Mouth Escape?
Shao Zifeng drew in a sharp breath.
The dark red candlelight had an ambiguous effect,, making it look like an illicit place’s romantic bed… *cough*.
Once he had learned about the old ghost’s strength and condition, he actually felt less nervous and was even ready to try persuading him with words.
Shao Zifeng prepared his mental script, raised his head, puffed out his chest,, and imitating the attitude of a certain anime character, he cleared his throat and spoke righteously, “Just like that, consider yourself the tragic hero, always crying and whining…”
“Shut up!” The hunchbacked old man’s bloodshot eyes suddenly turned toward Shao Zifeng, and from his gaping mouth came a roar unlike any human, his wide sleeves fluttering and swirling as he extended a translucent ghostly claw toward Shao Zifeng’s chest.
“Damn!”
...
Shao Zifeng tensed, his pupils flashed with firelight, and a bright red flame ignited in his palm, meeting the translucent claw.
Sss.
The flames and the ghostly claw collided, with the fire and the dark energy twisting and devouring each other, emitting a faint noise reminiscent of pouring cold water on red-hot iron.
Shao Zifeng felt a frigid coldness spreading up his arm from his palm, quickly reaching his shoulder. Just when he thought he was doomed, the Nightmare Shadow Servant withdrew its claw, its gaze chillingly fixed on Shao Zifeng.
Initially, it just wanted to slightly punish this noisy human, so it hadn’t used its powers. But the man’s reactions were too quick, smoothly utilizing Elemental Energy even after a previous burst of fire, something it hadn’t seen in its many years of life.
Already having devoured a great deal of blood, its mind was unstable, and after this provocation, it completely lost control.
The blood-red candlelight flickered, and the room was filled with a chilly breeze.
Suddenly, the stooped figure straightened, his face’s skin split into twisted chunks, and strands of black mist seeped from the cracks, quickly obscuring his grotesque face. Two eerie red glows flickered intermittently in the black mist, and his large black robe inflated and billowed.
Crack.
The sound of fabric tearing echoed, and a bone-chilling blast swept across the room.

Shao Zifeng felt a massive force pressing him, his clothes tightly pressed against his body, and his clothes flapped in the blast. He covered his face with his arms, his body like a small boat in a storm, harshly slamming against the wooden door behind him.
A moment later, Shao Zifeng opened his eyes, only to see countless pieces of paper and books floating down. The room was in disarray, and through the gaps in the pages, he could vaguely see a swirling black mist with cold blood-red eyes staring at him.
Feeling that chilling gaze, Shao Zifeng felt a suffocating sensation, his blood seemed to stop flowing, and his body involuntarily shivered. He thought to himself, this is bad, I’m intimidated!
Fuck, wasn’t it said that verbal barrages were the strongest technique? Why did it get angry before I even finished speaking? Shao Zifeng’s mind raced, contemplating his next move.
“Since you don’t want to come out… hehe.” The sinister voice floated uncertainly in the room, “You want to save him, right? Well, I will kill him just to spite you!”
As the word ‘him’ fell, the Nightmare Shadow Servant’s smoke churned, and a huge mouth split open, its smoke-condensed fangs interlocked, and with a wicked smile, it bit toward Shao Zifeng.
“Fuck!”
Shao Zifeng was shocked, trying to dodge, but the wooden door behind him left him no way to escape, yet the cold touch also gradually calmed him down.
He still had a last resort!
The giant maw enlarged in his view, and he took a deep breath, calmly saying, “Chasing Moon Dog, Wind and Lightning.”
Hum.
“Woof!”
Silvery white lightning erupted violently, the sound of electricity crackling. The Chasing Moon Dog, enveloped in twisting bolts of electricity, flashed toward the Nightmare Shadow Servant.
The violent wind swept past Shao Zifeng, the ionized particles within it falling on his exposed skin, sending a tingling sensation that made Shao Zifeng shiver involuntarily.
Crack.
“Ahhhh!!”
Electricity coursed through the Nightmare Shadow Servant, and the twisted serpents of electricity exploded instantly, shooting and popping amidst its tumbling mist, while the subsequent fierce wind stirred inside its body. The black mist that covered its whole body twisted violently under the intertwining wind and lightning.
At the same time, chains glowing like moonlight bound his body, the Moonlight Restriction inherently carried by the Chasing Moon Dog.
“Woof!”
The Chasing Moon Dog landed nimbly beside Shao Zifeng, shaking its body spiritedly and barking at Shao Zifeng.
“Well done,” Shao Zifeng touched the Chasing Moon Dog’s fluffy head, a smile curling at the corners of his lips. Earlier, he had empathetically caused the Chasing Moon Dog to pretend to run away, when in fact it was moving stealthily behind him in the darkness.
Luckily, throughout the process, the Chasing Moon Dog had not been detected by the puppet shadows, and the higher-ranked Nightmare Shadow Servant, having lost control of its emotions, had failed to notice the Chasing Moon Dog hiding in the corner.
The Nightmare Shadow Servant, bound by Moonlight Restriction, let out a desperate roar, its black mist swirling and expanding. The moonlight-forged chains seemed as though they might shatter at any moment.
Shao Zifeng’s gaze sharpened, “Chasing Moon Dog, use Moon Blade.”
“Whoo!”
The Chasing Moon Dog responded, the silver blade of moonlight forming at the corners of its mouth, as if it was holding a sharp blade in its mouth.
The Chasing Moon Dog’s forepaws lifted off the ground as it jumped, its head swinging fiercely. A streak of silver light instantly pierced through the Nightmare Shadow Servant.
“Ahh!!!!!!!!!!”
A ghastly scream echoed in the void. The enveloping black mist stopped swirling, and the moonlight chains broke inch by inch, dissipating, before the entire mass of black mist exploded and vanished within the room.
The oil lamp on the wall flickered a few times after the Nightmare Shadow Servant dissipated, gradually returning to its normal color.
Shao Zifeng first cautiously looked around; the room was in disarray, with papers and books covering the floor, and bookshelves and desks haphazardly toppled over, revealing the storage room behind.
Aside from the Chasing Moon Dog, there was no movement in the peripheral light spots.
Still uneasy, he scanned the room again, and the result was still the same.
Although it was strange how weak the Nightmare Shadow Servant was, because there was no energy feedback from the external plugin, his hanging heart was somewhat relieved.
“Woof!”
The Chasing Moon Dog, not overthinking it and seeing that the enemy had been eradicated and Shao Zifeng had returned to normal, happily ran towards Shao Zifeng.
The flames on the lamp flickered a few times.
The shadows inside the room shifted subtly, and Shao Zifeng’s gaze was drawn to the shadow of the Chasing Moon Dog, then his pupils narrowed sharply, “Chasing Moon Dog, dodge quickly!!”
The Chasing Moon Dog stood puzzled in place, looking bewildered at him.
Just then, its shadow suddenly twisted into a sinister smiling face. A ghastly claw reached out lightning-fast from the shadow and struck heavily on the Chasing Moon Dog.
“Ow!”
The Chasing Moon Dog yelped as it was sent flying, blood blossoming under the candlelight. A warm spray of blood splattered on Shao Zifeng’s face, his pupils instantly freezing.
