It proved that the F-22's 'Vulcan' autocannon's 20mm bullets were not to be trifled with.
In an instant, the Phobic Centipede was subjected to a storm-like baptism, its health bar above its head rapidly decreasing.
The Phobic Centipede's body rapidly retreated into the thick black mist.
Escaping?
Where could it possibly escape to?
The 'Vulcan' autocannon buzzed, and countless rounds disappeared into the black mist, but the health bar floating in the black mist showed no sign of decreasing.
Clearly, Yang Tao's attack did not harm it this time.
'What's going on? Is the Phobic Centipede immune to damage when it retreats into the black mist?'
How could such an exaggerated thing happen!
Yang Tao dispelled his transformation; Starscream's size was too restrictive in this exhibition hall-like corridor.
Forget moving, if he didn't sit down, he'd probably get stuck in the wall.
The red-bordered health bar was slowly regenerating. He took out a firecracker chili from his backpack and threw it forcefully into the black mist.
The angry-faced red chili's body rapidly expanded in the air, exploding the moment it entered the black mist.
With a bang, surging flames transformed into a fire snake and burrowed into the black mist.
It dealt -210 damage.
A series of damage numbers rose from the Phobic Centipede's head, but Yang Tao did not see the Phobic Centipede's figure through the gaps left by the flames.
'Damn it!'
Just then, the black mist began to churn and spread towards his location.
Seeing this, Yang Tao took out a plant from his backpack that he had only obtained while playing Plants vs. Zombies during a party.
It was a card with a three-leaf clover printed on it.
As the card shattered, a bobbing three-leaf clover appeared in front of Yang Tao.
'Blow!'
Upon receiving the command, the three-leaf clover immediately stiffened its face, and its three green fan-like leaves began to spin.
An extremely unscientific gale appeared, instantly blowing the black mist, which had been preparing to spread, a long distance away.
After doing all this, the three-leaf clover did not disappear; it just became extremely listless, as if it had been breeding with its kind all night.
However, it only needed 100 sunlight, and this little guy would be lively again, which was very magical.
He then put the three-leaf clover away.
Yang Tao's gaze was fixed on where the black mist had dissipated; he finally knew why the 'Vulcan' autocannon had no effect.
On the hallway wall, there was a black shadow, which was precisely the Phobic Centipede from earlier, as the health bar above its head couldn't be faked.
'Shadowification?!'
This ability was simply unsolvable for Wanderers wielding ordinary weapons.
The black shadow rapidly rushed towards him, like a nightmare materialized.
Bang...
The shotgun hit the black shadow.
However, besides causing cracks on the wall, the bullets did not cause any damage to the Phobic Centipede.
Rumble.
Several bolts of lightning passed through the hallway's ceiling and struck the shadow, and a series of damage numbers once again appeared on the shadow's health bar.
'At critical moments, you still have to rely on Iron Bro!'
Yang Tao also understood that ordinary attacks probably no longer had any effect on the Phobic Centipede; only attacks with special attributes could damage the Phobic Centipede.
It wasn't that data-based attacks were ineffective, but that you simply didn't hit the target.
You hit the wall, what does that have to do with me, the Phobic Centipede?
The Phobic Centipede, already transformed into a shadow, endured Iron Bro's lightning attacks and reached Yang Tao's side. An arm-shaped shadow distorted and spread onto Yang Tao's body.
Just at this critical moment of life and death, for some reason, a funny thought popped into Yang Tao's head.
'A parallel version of Shadow Imitation Technique? Could it be that you're also named Nara?'
But the Phobic Centipede's subsequent actions made Yang Tao somewhat disdainful.
It re-materialized the arm hidden within the shadow and then grabbed Yang Tao's neck.
'Little one, you're mine now!'
The Phobic Centipede let out a slightly excited female voice, which made Yang Tao extremely uncomfortable.
The next moment, a force appeared, trying to pull Yang Tao into the shadow, but this force could not affect Yang Tao's body at all.
'Oh? So lively... I like it even more...'
Just like a Cat chasing a mouse, the more active the mouse, the more it stimulates the Cat's interest.
But the Phobic Centipede had never seen Tom and Jerry and didn't know that there were also unusual mice in this world.
'Is it fun?'
A silver-white Building Staff appeared in Yang Tao's hand. With a gentle wave, it cut off the Phobic Centipede's retreat. The massive shadow was severed by cobblestone, but the Phobic Centipede seemed unaffected.
The next moment, Yang Tao's body passed directly through the Phobic Centipede's palm, and the shadow that had covered him also fell to the ground.
'If you don't have new tricks, then prepare to run for your life...'
As soon as Yang Tao finished speaking, he pulled out a rapier and, with lightning speed, stabbed the arm that hadn't had time to shadowify.
The fire enchantment effect was triggered.
A shadow of flames appeared on the shadow on the wall, and numbers continuously popped up on the Phobic Centipede's health bar.
'Damn it!'
Boom... What answered it was the Cherry Bomb in Yang Tao's hand.
Boom, boom, boom...
A series of explosions mixed with the Phobic Centipede's curses. The Phobic Centipede's shadow continuously retreated behind the cobblestone wall.
A TNT was thrown, directly collapsing the cobblestone wall. The Phobic Centipede then ran at an extremely fast speed towards the depths of the hallway.
'The tables have turned...'
Yang Tao summoned a wooden door to send Iron Bro and the others back to the Overworld first, then mounted his magic broom and chased after the Phobic Centipede.
Although the Phobic Centipede was extremely fast, it was still a bit slower than the magic broom.
Boom...
Flames mixed with explosions, as if bidding farewell to the Phobic Centipede. Some Sightless Seer who had just been blown away by the three-leaf clover were affected, their health instantly depleted, and they fell to the ground.
However, Yang Tao did not stop for this and plunged into the black mist, following the Phobic Centipede.
The black mist was not poisonous, but it greatly obstructed his vision.
He took out a peacock feather fan and gently fanned it, and a fierce gale gushed out from the fan.
After the black mist was dispelled, the Phobic Centipede, with only a few thousand health remaining, directly burrowed into a mirror.
'Trying to run?'
Yang Tao didn't hesitate at all and threw an ender pearl. He wanted to see if he could enter the mirrored world.
The dark green ender pearl passed directly through the mirror.
Yang Tao's heart filled with joy.
The next moment, the smile on his face disappeared.
Because he had arrived at a familiar place: a lavishly decorated hall and several corridors leading to unknown destinations.
Elegant jazz music echoed in Yang Tao's ears.
'Mr. Yang, you've finally returned. I've been waiting for a long time...'
The familiar octopus head appeared before him. Yang Tao smiled, put away the firecracker chili in his hand, and said, 'Gentleman, long time no see. I wonder if you've seen a Phobic Centipede?'
