Beauty and the Bodyguard

"A formation that controls the opening of the cage! Who\'s such a scammer!"

The demonic thing was shocked and immediately wanted to get the person who set up the formation out and give him a good beating.

He was an array master, so he could tell with a glance that the control of the array was due to a problem with the energy maintaining the array. This problem was most likely caused by the activation of the teleportation array.

The energy used by the teleportation array and the control array were shared, so if the teleportation array continued to consume energy, the control array would run out of energy. It had been hidden, but now it was exposed.

"Close the teleportation formation! That damned Lion is coming out!"

The ghastly thing ordered Lin Yi to shut down the teleportation formation without hesitation. Although he really wanted Lin Yi to kill the lion, he didn\'t have the confidence to do so, so it was more important to keep his life first.

Lin Yi was already used to listening to these things, and he instinctively closed the portal.

The light of the teleportation array flashed and then began to dim, but at the same time, an accident happened.

The control formation also dimmed after a flash. The thick metal bars began to spin up silently.

The cage was opened!

For the first time, the ghostly thing felt like it was out of control. Even at its peak, it wouldn\'t have been able to easily crush the shadow God-devouring Lion, much less in its current state.

The damn thing felt like it had jumped into a pit it had dug today, and it was an extremely huge pit!

The damn control formation, it just had to be destroyed the moment Lin Yi shut down the teleportation formation!

There was really no limit to the traps!

Even if it was destroyed a second earlier, the damn thing could still let Lin Yi escape through the teleportation formation!

If he\'d been a bit late, Lin Yi could\'ve at least restarted the formation, but it was still in a closed state. There was a short cooldown time before it could be activated again, and it was enough for the lion to yawn and stretch before coming back to Lin Yi!

"Run!"

The thought crossed Lin Yi\'s and the ghostly thing\'s minds at the same time. The lightning flashed and charged into the quicksand-shaped entrance.

Hopefully, it wasn\'t a one-way tunnel that only allowed entry and not exit ...

In an instant, Lin Yi\'s lightning arc appeared at the quicksand entrance. Fortunately, it was indeed an exit.

But it wasn\'t that easy to get out either, because this was an entrance that was pulled inward. If they left in the opposite direction, they would need to spend more energy.

It was like running on a treadmill-he might still be in the same place after half a day, but if he didn \'t, he\'d be brought back. The pressure prevented Lin Yi from even using his lightning escape.

Lin Yi knew that he was in big trouble today. The Jade space\'s warning was getting more and more intense. He took a step back without hesitation and used his lightning escape to get away from the entrance.

Immediately after, a shockwave exploded at the entrance. If Lin Yi didn\'t run fast enough, he would\'ve been heavily injured, if not dead.

"You\'re pretty good at running away. If you have the ability, continue running!"

The lion was like a king, standing proudly in front of the cage. Its eyes had a hint of disdain and mockery towards Lin Yi.

"Why are you running? This guy\'s strength is even lower than I expected. He\'s only at the peak of the late stage of earth creation!"

The ghastly thing suddenly realized that the aura the shadow God-devouring Lion was displaying was not as powerful as it had imagined, and it immediately gained an inexplicable confidence.

It seemed that the cage had greatly weakened the shadow God-devouring Lion. In the outside world, a peak of late earth-splitting stage would be considered an expert. However, to the shadow God-devouring Lion Clan, it was simply a newborn or an old lion on the verge of death.

However, the lion\'s influence on one\'s consciousness was fatal. It wouldn\'t have encouraged Lin Yi to fight it if it didn\'t have a choice.

"Good! Then let\'s kill it!"

Lin Yi activated his lightning escape and appeared on the lion\'s left side in a flash.

At the same time, Lin Yi took out the Black Pearl.

"Your lightning escape technique is not bad. However, you\'re too naive if you think you can get close to me with this!"

The shadow God-devouring Lion glared at Lin Yi in disdain before disappearing into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

The black bead in Lin Yi\'s hand lost its target instantly-it\'d just be a waste even if he activated it ...

"Hell! What\'s going on?"

Lin Yi subconsciously used his lightning escape to leave the place, and as expected, an invisible shockwave exploded at his previous position again. The force was stronger than before.

"Shadow God-devouring Lion. Do you understand why it\'s called that?"

The demonic thing was helpless. He wanted Lin Yi to use lightning escape to catch it off guard, but the lion wasn\'t going to let it off so easily. It used its innate ability to merge with the shadows!

This kind of ability that allowed them to be immune to almost 90% of physical attacks, in addition to the soul-devouring ability that could annihilate divine sense, established the shadow God-devouring lion\'s position as a powerful magical Beast of Darkness.

"How do we fight this? Let\'s find a chance to escape!"

Lin Yi was a little depressed-this was the first time he\'d met someone stronger than him, and with such a sick style.

"The teleportation array will take a while to activate. Try to stay as far away from the teleportation array as possible. Then, use the lightning escape technique to activate it!"

The ghastly thing quickly commanded.

At this moment, the ghostly thing didn\'t want Lin Yi to kill the shadow God-devouring Lion anymore. It was more important to keep its life.

The flow of Qi around him was clearly getting faster-this was a sign that the lion was absorbing Qi. The longer it took, the worse it was for Lin Yi.

However, what Lin Yi didn\'t expect was that the lion\'s next attack wasn\'t aimed at him, but at the teleportation formation not far away!

With a loud explosion, the teleportation array was instantly destroyed. Not to mention a while, even if it was a lifetime, it could not be activated again!

"I\'ll F * ck your grandfather\'s legs ..."

Lin Yi wanted to cry, but no tears came out. This damn Lion, not only were its moves abnormal, but its actions were also so wicked!

Was this the power of the darkness magical beast?

"This damn bastard, it wants to keep you here as food! You can only try your best to kill it, or else you\'ll be killed by it!"

The demonic thing was furious. The perfect plan he had just set up had been ruined by the shadow God-devouring Lion before it could even be implemented.

This was simply preposterous!
