Chapter 105: Gaze of Terror
“Chirrup chirrup!”
The little fellow jumped onto the table and compared its body size to the size of the bird egg, expressing its strong protest.
Just a moment ago, it felt like the egg was huge, but now it was even bigger?!
Milky Way looked at its small stomach and was a little worried, afraid that it wouldn’t be able to eat it.
Bai Wushang was also a little embarrassed.
Indeed, after cooking, not only did the color of the egg change significantly, even its size unexpectedly expanded by one round.
It would probably be as big as a little rabbit if it gained another five or six rounds of weight.
“Alright, work hard and eat to become stronger!”
Bai Wushang grabbed a Terror Tea Bird Egg, peeled off its warm outer shell, and handed it to Milky Way.
“Chirrup...”
The little fellow had to stand up with its hind legs pressing against the ground, and its forelimbs tried to hold on.
“Roar~”
Ah Zhou took the initiative to approach and picked up another bird egg by itself. It squeezed its two fingers on the top and bottom and skillfully removed the hard shell.
After a glance, he stuffed it into his mouth.
To him, food of this size was used to stuff the gaps between his teeth, and he couldn’t chew it more than two or three times.
Seeing the Boss Ape so ‘relaxed’, Milky Way’s little claws slightly clenched.
I have to work hard to grow up!
After eating this, I will become stronger, and I will be closer to growing up!
Eat! Eat! Eat!
With that thought in mind, the little fellow took a whimper and pounced on the bird egg.
His little mouth opened and closed, taking small bites as he chewed with all his might.
However, after eating the food, its eyes couldn’t help but fogged up, making it look rather pitiful.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Wushang noticed something strange.
“Chirrup...”
The little rabbit called out softly.
It liked to eat vegetables, especially things like radishes.
This kind of meat diet tasted too strange, and it didn’t like to eat it.
But it still chewed and swallowed mouthful by mouthful.
“Sigh, it’s a little hard on you.”
Bai Wushang saw it and didn’t say anything more.
On the other side, Ah Zhou ate the egg of the Terror Tea Bird Egg and was the first to react.
Its eyelids began to fight, and faint murmurs appeared beside its ears. Sometimes it sounded like the chirping of insects and birds, sometimes it sounded like the roaring of lions and tigers. Sometimes it was far, and sometimes it was near, so it couldn’t hear clearly.
“Ah Zhou, don’t force yourself. Just fall asleep.”
Bai Wushang noticed that the Demon Ape was forcing itself to endure and thus indicated that it didn’t have to do that.
“Roar...”
Ah Zhou nodded and sat down against the wall.
After closing its eyes, its breathing gradually calmed down.
The attribute panel showed a brand new state, ‘Terror Dream’.
After that, the Demon Ape’s face unconsciously showed frowns, grins, and other ferocious expressions.
Bai Wushang could indirectly feel its roller-coaster emotions through a weak telepathic connection. Pain mixed with anger, disappointment mixed with despair...in short, it was all negative emotions.
Half an hour later.
Ah Zhou woke up.
Its scattered gaze gathered again, and its dazed consciousness returned to reality. It was still in a daze.
Bai Wushang’s tensed mood finally relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, “Ah Zhou, congratulations. You’ve mastered a new skill, Gaze of Terror!”
“Take this opportunity to test this skill on me!”
Hearing its master’s voice, the Demon Ape shook its head vigorously and woke up.
“Can you do it?”
“No problem, do it boldly.”
After a simple communication through consciousness, Ah Zhou no longer hesitated.
Its gaze moved and focused on Bai Wushang’s body.
The originally amber-colored iris quickly turned deathly white, and its pupils contracted to the extreme, turning into a thin black dot.
At that moment, Ah Zhou’s temperament had clearly changed. A hint of coldness was added to his wildness and ferocity, making him even scarier.
Although it was effective without looking at each other, Bai Wushang wanted to experiment on it, so he naturally observed it very carefully.
He saw a faint luster surge from Ah Zhou’s eyes, landing on his body.
In just an instant, Bai Wushang’s brain felt a tinge of pain, as if something had corroded it.
“This is the Gaze of Terror? No... That’s not right! It hasn’t broken through my spiritual defense yet, so it hasn’t really worked.”
As a Master, as long as he wasn’t too tired or weak, he could hold a certain advantage in terms of Soul Power. He would naturally have resistance against spiritual attacks.
Moreover, Bai Wushang had mentally prepared himself to take this attack head-on.
It was normal for Ah Zhou to not be able to break through the defense easily and cause actual damage.
After more than ten seconds, the Demon Ape’s eyes grew bigger and bigger. They were sour and swollen, and it was almost unable to hold on any longer.
Bai Wushang was no longer in a stalemate. He chose to take the initiative to let down his guard and let the Gaze of Terror enter.
“Hiss...”
The world in front of him was black and white, upside down. The scene flipped, and he suddenly appeared in a gloomy cave.
His entire body was covered by endless blood. It was sticky and dark, and the pungent smell of blood filled his whole body.
Among the white bones that were floating, blood gushed out. A naked baby girl was lying on his body. In her cold eyes, a six-petaled blood flower was reflected...
A chill ran through the soles of his feet, and cold sweat ran all over his body.
Bai Wushang opened his eyes and forced the illusion away.
At that moment, his mind was a mess, and he felt dizzy.
Fortunately, his feet were on the ground, and he took deep breaths continuously, so he quickly returned to normal.
“Is this... the fear in my heart?”
Lowering his eyes, Bai Wushang chuckled and didn’t say anything else.
“Roar?”
Ah Zhou scratched his head, a little worried.
Master’s expression just now was too scary for the ape!
“It’s fine.” Bai Wushang shook his head, “Ah Zhou, this should be considered the first strong control skill you’ve mastered. Combined with your other innate abilities, it should be able to play a great role in actual combat.”
“Roar roar!”
The Demon Ape firmly believed it.
“Chirrup chirrup!”
The indistinct sound of a rabbit entered his ears.
Bai Wushang turned his head to look. Little Milky Way was still struggling with the bird egg. There was only a little bit left.
“Chirrup! ヽ(‘?`?)?”
After successfully swallowing the last mouthful, the little rabbit burped and lay on the ground as if it had been relieved of a heavy burden.
Its little claws patted its round belly, revealing a silly smile.
I’m finally done eating...
As expected of me!
Feeling incredibly proud and satisfied, the little fellow entered the Terror Dream.
Beside him, Bai Wushang seemed to be waiting quietly, but in the depths of his heart, he was actually somewhat perturbed.
That was because he could not guarantee how much of the skill [Gaze of Terror] could the Milky Way use.
The [Pupil of the Silver Moon] that it possessed was one of the characteristics closely related to the pupil, and it had two passive effects.
Number one, Charm.
When the Moonrabbit closed its eyes, and you looked at it, you might think it was just average cute.
But when it opened its eyes, and you saw its large silver-white eyes, the little fellow’s charm value would increase exponentially.
Number two, Illusion Breaker.
The Moonrabbit’s eyes could see through simple illusions while automatically blocking weak spiritual attacks. This was its innate ability.
Bai Wushang was initially worried that the Milky Way would be unable to learn the [Gaze of Terror] because of its characteristics.
Or, even if it was learned, the effect would be very shallow. That was because charm and fear were mutually exclusive. It had to be liked and feared at the same time. There seemed to be a conflict between them.
However, after 10 minutes, Bai Wushang knew he was very wrong.
