Kylie's speed and explosiveness in short-distance flight surpassed all the monsters Lin Huang owned . Even Thunder that was good at flying could only excel Kylie in long-distance flight .
Encountering Luna Beasts with extremely high explosiveness, it was apparent that Kylie could make better bait than Thunder . In fact, Kylie did an impressive job .
Kylie was about 10% faster than the Luna Beasts all the way .
The Luna Beasts had made several attempts to accelerate, but Kylie sped up only when they were less than a meter away from her, maintaining her speed at 10% faster than the Luna Beasts . Some of the Luna Beasts had gone on a rampage, but they were still trailing behind by Kylie .
Kylie maintained a speed at which the Luna Beasts could see her but were unable to attack her .
Lin Huang and Bloody were monitoring the situation on Kylie's side all the while . They felt relieved, seeing Kylie's performance .
All of a sudden, Lin Huang frowned .
"The Luna Beasts are slowing down!"
"It seems like they're giving up on Kylie . " Bloody was surprised .
The Luna Beasts had terrible tempers, and they were monsters that held grudges . They were not intelligent and under normal circumstances, they would chase after their enemies non-stop and would not choose to retreat .
It seemed like the Luna Beasts had lost their patience upon realizing that the possibility of chasing after Kylie was low . They were not going to bug her anymore .
"She's made it through half the journey . What should we do now?" Lin Huang raised his head and looked towards Bloody .
"Ask Kylie to attack them," Bloody suggested .
"Would it work? Since they've already found out that they can't possibly chase Kylie . . . " Lin Huang doubted .
"I guess it'll work this time, but I'm not sure if it'll still work the next time . " Bloody did not expect the Luna Beasts to retreat after being fooled by Kylie .
After getting the confirmation from Bloody, Lin Huang immediately contacted Kylie with his Divine Telekinesis and told her what to do next .
A few kilometers away, Kylie then turned back to the Luna Beasts after listening to what Lin Huang told her . She then realized that the Luna Beasts were actually slowing down . She scoffed and again, she activated her Lightning Control .
Hundreds of beams of black lightning rained down from the sky . The attack covered a broader range compared to the first attack launched by Kylie . Besides that, it was much stronger as well .
More than 500 of the Luna Beasts let out a howl of pain . Their fur was burnt and singed .
Still, Kylie was unable to kill any of the Luna Beasts .
Nevertheless, it was quite effective . The Luna Beasts lost their rationality and began to chase after Kylie insanely .
Seeing what Kylie did, Lin Huang flashed a thumbs-up . "They're now bearing a huge grudge!"
"Don't count your eggs before they hatch . While it's effective, it's still unknown whether Kylie can lure them to this place . " Bloody pointed out pessimistically .
Lin Huang kept quiet for a moment, and something seemed to have dawned on him . "Does it mean that the effect will be reduced each time Kylie attempts to aggravate them?"
"Yes, it does . Although the Luna Beasts aren't intelligent and can be easily triggered, they won't be tricked repeatedly . Since they've already confirmed that they are unable to catch up to Kylie, they'll be wise enough to give up their target . Once attacked, they'll temporarily lose their rationality . The more they're attacked, the less likely they'll act irrationally and the higher the possibility that they'll give up their target . " Bloody nodded while giving a detailed explanation . "Also, the Luna Beasts will regain their rationality in a shorter period this round . Soon, they'll realize that it's useless to chase after Kylie . "
"What should we do?" Lin Huang's eyebrows knitted together . He now understood why Bloody had expressed its doubt on whether Kylie could successfully lure the Luna Beasts to this place .
"The best way is to change baits . " Obviously, Bloody had a plan . "They've lost confidence in chasing Kylie, and it's time for us to change their target . They'll regain the thrill of the chase once they have a new target . They can then complete the second half of the journey . "
"Do you mean that we need Thunder to be the bait?" Lin Huang knew who Bloody was referring to .
"Other than Kylie, it'll be the most suitable one . " Bloody nodded .
"No, we can't . Thunder is too huge, and its agility is nowhere near Kylie's . If it happens to enter the Fiendish Osiery, it's difficult for it to survive through it," Lin Huang rejected .
Compared to Kylie, Thunder's size would make it an easy target . Moreover, Kylie's agility would allow her to avoid sudden attacks whereas Thunder was much weaker than her and it would be easier for the Fiendish Osiers to attack it . Once it became the Fiendish Osiers' target, it would be in great danger .
"Do you have any other plan?"
It was already risky for Kylie to enter the Fiendish Osiery . If Thunder was the one that entered the Fiendish Osiery, the probability of it surviving was close to zero .
A pet monster was different from humans . If it died on the Stairway Tree, it would die in reality instead of returning to the first checkpoint on the Stairway Tree .
Bloody kept quiet for a long while after listening to what Lin Huang asked .
"This isn't how you'd look like if you're running out of ideas . " Lin Huang knew that it was not because Bloody had no other plans . It was because of some reason that it was reluctant to tell . "Just spit it out . "
"Other than Kylie and Thunder, there's actually someone who can be the bait," Bloody then said slowly, shifting its gaze towards Lin Huang .
Lin Huang was stunned . After a couple of moments, he then pointed at himself and asked, "Me?"
After confirming that Bloody was referring to him, a thought suddenly ran through Lin Huang's mind . "Oh, right, the Transformation Card! How could I forget about it?!"
Lin Huang had almost forgotten that he could actually use the Provisional Transformation Card, transforming into Kylie or Thunder . As long as he changed into how they looked like, he would have all of their abilities, including their speed .
"I'll first transform into Thunder and become bait . As soon as I enter the Fiendish Osiery, I'll transform into Kylie and get out of there as swiftly as possible . " Bloody was unwilling to reveal its plan . It did not want Lin Huang to take the risk, but it was running out of solutions .
Setting the Luna Beasts up was risky business .
"Alright, I'll take on the task!" Lin Huang accepted without thinking twice .
"It's too dangerous," Bai, who had kept quiet all the while, frowned as he said . It turned back and looked at Bloody . "Is there any other way?"
Bloody shook its head helplessly . "Changing the bait is the only way to solve the problem . It's uncertain whether any other solutions are going to work . "
"Don't worry . After using the Transformation Card, my combat strength will level up to immortal-level rank-4 . My abilities will be stronger than any of you . " Lin Huang patted Bai's shoulder reassuringly . "I didn't really make any contribution for the whole day . It's time to move and do some exercise . "
