Swish, swish, swish!
At this moment, Mo Bai felt the weightlessness all around him, and his heart reached the absolute limit of tension.
That was because after he forced his eyes open, he saw the scenery below.
Green waters and mountains were indeed very pretty, but Mo Bai had no time to appreciate the scenery, as he was currently plummeting downwards from high altitude at extreme speed!
"That damn goddess!"
After shouting loudly in the air, he instinctively crossed his hands upwards in a posture like a bird flapping its wings to fly.
The Ten Shadows Technique—this golden-finger ability had already been completely engraved into Mo Bai's brain during his downward fall.
Using shadows as a medium, he then arranged his hands into the shape of the desired shikigami from the shadow techniques, much like playing a hand-shadow game in childhood.
Finally, shouting out the name of the shikigami he wanted to summon would count as success.
"Nue!"
Whoosh!
And after Mo Bai called out the name of that shikigami, sure enough, a rapid figure rushed toward him.
It was a huge owl wearing a pristine white mask, and it was the shikigami summoned by Mo Bai.
If he let it grab Mo Bai's arm to use as a parachute for a slow descent, then Mo Bai would be able to survive safely.
Yet...
"Screech!"
Judging from the momentum of this fellow's cry at the moment and the speed at which it rushed over, it didn't seem to come with good intentions...
"Tch!"
Of course, Mo Bai knew this too.
A sorcerer possessing the Ten Shadows Technique had to completely "tame" the summoned shikigami before being able to use it.
But at this moment, Mo Bai couldn't care about all that; he had to make use of the opponent first.
"Come here, you beast!"
Shouting loudly, Mo Bai reached out his arm toward the giant orange-red owl.
"Screech!"
Rip!
In the end, Mo Bai's entire hand was fiercely pierced and clamped down by the opponent's sharp claws, and blood scattered through the air, but this was precisely what he wanted.
At the cost of some pain, he clung onto the opponent; with good luck, he could entangle himself like this all the way down to the ground, and with bad luck...
Bzz, bzz, bzz—
Just as Mo Bai was thinking about what to do next, purple current surged on Nue's body.
Looking at this, a drop of cold sweat dripped down Mo Bai's temple.
That was Nue's ability, capable of generating electric shocks.
At this time, Mo Bai had no fulcrum in the air to run on, and moreover, his hand was tightly clamped by the opponent, so he couldn't run even if he wanted to.
I'm going to die...
This thought suddenly popped into Mo Bai's head.
He found it somewhat comical and ridiculous.
What lucky person out of billions of people? In the end, it only made him die a dozen or so minutes later, and on top of that, he was going to be electrocuted to death by his own summoned entity?
He refused to admit it.
He did not want to admit it.
After dying once, he understood the wonder of staying alive more than ever before, and wanted to live even more.
Mo Bai had never harbored the thought of accepting death calmly.
Because once dead, everything was gone; even if people in future generations boasted about how formidable he was, what of it? Once he was dead, he wouldn't be able to feel a single thing.
No...
"I'm definitely going to live!"
A desperate belief ignited in Mo Bai's heart, and energy resembling blue flames surged on the left fist he lowered.
Cursed Energy—the energy transformed from human negative emotions.
At this moment, Mo Bai's cursed energy increased dramatically due to fear and resentment, and finally, he condensed all the cursed energy in his body onto his uninjured left fist.
"Behave yourself!"
Bang!
Then Mo Bai directly smashed his fist, imbued with cursed energy, onto Nue's mask.
"Screech!"
This not only caused the opponent to emit a lament, but the purple current it was charging was also forced to stop.
"Not enough!"
Bang, bang, bang!
After succeeding with a single strike, Mo Bai chose not to stop and continue a stalemate in mid-air; he had made up his mind.
To survive at this high altitude, he had to completely tame the opponent and make this shikigami his own possession.
Therefore, he unsparingly poured his cursed-energy-wrapped fists onto the opponent.
"Screech!"
Finally, Nue was the first one unable to hold on, loosening its sharp claws and wanting to make Mo Bai fall to his death just like that.
Yet this instead gave Mo Bai an opportunity.
Because his right hand was freed from the opponent's grip at this moment, which meant he could make hand gestures with both hands again.
Clap!
Thus, Mo Bai brought his hands together in the air to make a crisp sound, and after forming a hand gesture resembling a dog's head, he shouted loudly:
"Divine Dogs!"
Divine Dogs was the only shikigami in the Ten Shadows Technique that could be directly commanded and used without taming, and at this moment, it was summoned by Mo Bai onto Nue's back.
"Awooo!"
The large white dog went straight for Nue's throat to bite as soon as it made its entrance.
Because Nue itself had been heavily injured by Mo Bai earlier, it currently had no spare strength at all to shake Divine Dogs off.
Rip! Whoosh!
Seeing that Nue was bitten through the neck by Divine Dogs and turned into shadows to disappear, Mo Bai knew that this taming could be considered a success.
So he immediately recalled Divine Dogs, and then once more formed the hand gesture to summon Nue.
"Nue."
Whoosh!
This time, the Nue that appeared in the air did not fiercely charge at Mo Bai or attack him with sharp claws, but instead carefully supported Mo Bai's uninjured left arm and began to descend slowly.
During the descent, Mo Bai looked at his right hand, which had been pierced with several bloody holes.
It was fortunate that he learned how to roughly use cursed energy to protect himself at the moment of life-and-death crisis, otherwise he probably would have died long ago...
Then, he looked again at the place where he was currently located.
An endless green plain, and in the distance there was also something like a huge city.
"As long as there are people, it's fine..."
Mo Bai sighed somewhat weakly.
Who would have thought that the very first thing upon crossing over would be a life-and-death match, and moreover, fighting with the shikigami summoned by himself...
After landing, he would first recover some physical strength, and then go to that futuristic-looking city to find someone to seek some help or something; that should be fine then.
Mo Bai also discovered in mid-air that the animals in this place looked a bit strange.
They were actually all composed of mechanical parts.
What was this supposed to be? Could Wuthering Waves be a feel-good, cyber-ascension sci-fi game after human technology made major developments?
Tch, that goddess didn't even tell him the general setting of this world.
Mo Bai spat inwardly at that goddess.
However, recalling how that fellow had thrown him straight into high altitude without a word, almost causing him to fall to his death, not briefing him on the worldview seemed like a trivial matter compared to the former.
<div>"Forget it, one step at a..."</div>
Hum—
Just as Mo Bai was about to land, he saw something.
Not far away from him, a portal-style gizmo had unexpectedly appeared out of thin air? A raven-haired, golden-eyed woman holding a glider with one hand even came out of it!
However, after exchanging a glance with her, Mo Bai noticed the other's pupils suddenly constrict slightly, as if there were some ominous thing right beside him.
"Watch out!"
Bzz, bzz, bzz!
Bang!
In the end, all Mo Bai could hear by his ear was a roar of a motorcycle engine.
