Chapter 455: Chapter 451: Deceiving Legendary Creatures (New Year’s Eve Special, Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year)

Twilight Tomb.

The sixth layer.

Bai Qi awoke from a deep sleep, feeling better than ever. His six pets woke up gradually as well, sharing the same sensation.

“Am I still alive? Where’s the demon rabbit?”

Bai Qi scratched his head, scanning his surroundings. Suddenly, he saw an all-white rabbit staring curiously at him.

“Damn, the demon rabbit is still here!”

Bai Qi recoiled and started searching for the teleportation rune stone, while Alpha and the others entered combat mode.

“No need to panic, I mean you no harm.”

Seeing Bai Qi and the others’ reactions, the rabbit shook its head frantically, saying, “Strictly speaking, the one that fought you before was a corrupted version of me. Now, I have recovered.”

“Corrupted?”

Bai Qi was taken aback by its words and observed the rabbit carefully. He realized that this rabbit differed significantly from the blue demon rabbit they had encountered earlier.

It was closer to the rabbit he remembered.

“The analysis indicates that it’s most likely the legendary Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit.”

Schuck quietly scanned the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit and quickly pulled up the corresponding data.

[Name]: Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit

[Nature]: Ice

[Level]: Legendary

[Description]: The kindest of all legendary creatures. It has a gentle temperament, never attacks anyone unprovoked, and can purify filth in its immediate surroundings.

…

“Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, purifies filth… So, you were trying to purify the filth but ended up being corrupted?”

Upon seeing the description Schuck found, Bai Qi quickly deduced why the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit had turned into the Ice Demon Rabbit.

“That’s right. Originally, I was brought here to purify the pollution. However, those malicious things were so strange that I gradually became affected.”

The Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit looked at Bai Qi somewhat guiltily, bowing in human-like fashion, and said, “I apologize for my previous actions.”

“Ah, well, I’m fine anyway. There’s no need to be so formal.”

Seeing the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit’s respectful manner, Bai Qi was puzzled.

Were all legendary creatures this courteous? It didn’t seem to match his previous experiences.

Perhaps it was because he was too handsome?

Bai Qi looked down at his reflection on the ice and nodded seriously.

That must be it.

Howl, howl.

(Human, you’re getting more shameless…)

Beta sneered at Bai Qi but then was distracted by a peculiar smell. Following the scent, it encountered the just-awakened Cowskin Snake.

“Stupid dog, why are you getting so close to me?”

Seeing Beta up close, Cowskin Snake instinctively started complaining. However, it got cut off when Beta lunged at it, mouth wide open.

“Damn, we’re going to settle this today!”

Howl, howl!

(Stinky snake, just watch me swallow you whole right now!)

Beta didn’t back down either, and the snake and dog began to tussle again.

“Those two, why weren’t they this spirited when we were fighting the demon rabbit?”

Bai Qi sighed, noticing that the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit was quietly distancing itself from them.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t asked the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit how it woke up. After all, before his unconsciousness, his pets had lost their ability to fight, thus couldn’t have awakened the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit.

Gurgle, gurgle.

(Boss, before I went unconscious, I felt a strong presence.)

Alpha told Bai Qi about what it sensed prior to passing out, leaving Bai Qi in deep thought.

“So, another creature came to purify the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit? Could it have been the Fire Rock Devil Tiger?”

Bai Qi looked at the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit. After picturing the Fire Rock Devil Tiger’s appearance, he completely dismissed the idea.

He wouldn’t accept the notion of something devilish performing purification.

“Mr. Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, could you tell me who saved us?”

Bai Qi looked at the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit. The rabbit seemed to come out of a trance, taking its eyes off the dog and snake fight. After a moment, it answered, “I am not exactly sure, as my consciousness was also in chaos.”

Of course, this statement wasn’t true.

The Bronze Giant Dragon had left a deep impression on it. Even though it wasn’t sure why the dragon had taken the form of a small, weak snake, it didn’t dare to expose the truth.

Should it get swallowed again, it might never escape.

“You don’t know either?”

Bai Qi sighed in disappointment. If that particular entity had saved him, it was such a pity not to take this chance to improve their relationship.

But speaking of which, he seemed to remember that Cowskin Snake had recognized the demon rabbit’s skill before losing consciousness.

“Cowskin Snake, how did you know about that demon rabbit’s move? Something called Frost of Ice Time?”

Bai Qi forcibly removed Cowskin Snake from Beta’s mouth and asked earnestly.

“Frost of Ice Time? What’s that? Why would I know about it?”

Cowskin Snake tilted its head, displaying utter confusion.

“Gamma, prepare to make some snake soup tonight.”

Click, clatter.

(No problem, master.)

“Damn, human, you wait and see.”

The Cowskin Snake struggled hard at hearing this. Meanwhile, the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit had been rendered speechless.

They were going to cook that kind of creature? Had humans become this terrible?

“I found the data on the Frost of Ice Time move.”

In the end, it was Schuck that put an end to this farce. He projected the information about Frost of Ice Time in front of Bai Qi.
