By the time the others reacted, Chloe and the leopard pack had already disappeared without a trace.
Everyone understood what had happened.
Daniel struggled to stand up and said in a low voice, "I have to go to her...I must."
But before he could take a few steps, Qin Huaibei grabbed his arm:
"If you go now, you'll only add to her troubles."
Daniel's voice was full of anger: "So you're going to just leave her alone to face that pack of damn leopards? Don't forget, she's not much better off than us right now!"
"Don't be rash!" Qin Huaibei yelled.
Daniel glared at him furiously.
Not far away, Katherine coughed a few times: "Stop arguing, Daniel, listen to me."
"Chloe can barely hold her own for now, but if we go over there, attract the leopards' attention, Chloe will have to worry about both herself and us, which will only make things worse."
As she finished speaking, Daniel clenched his fists tightly, and the not yet receded wolf claws carved extremely deep wounds in his palms.
Seeing this, Qin Huaibei forcibly pried his hands open, his eyes bloodshot:
"Rest up and then go, it won't be too late to help her, do you hear me?!"
Daniel didn't speak anymore.
Qin Huaibei let out a sigh, unable to refrain from looking at Anderson.
Of the five of them, Anderson was probably the most deeply affected...
After all, of the five of them, Anderson practically worshipped Chloe like a god.
Anderson sat on a tree stump, his body exhausted, but his eyes were extremely cold.
He had placed his knife on his lap. Because he had used it to kill the giant snake, the blade had become somewhat dull.
So he took a relatively flat rock and carefully honed the blade.
The sound of blade sharpening was endless.
One stroke, two strokes, three strokes...
Chloe was somewhat tired.
Judging by the time, she had already led this pack of leopards dozens of miles away.
When vampires used secret techniques beyond their bodies' limits, it would greatly damage themselves.
Chloe felt a dull pain in her chest, and soon, drops of blood rolled from the corners of her lips, leaving a bright red streak behind.
Her eyes too - drops of blood rolled down from the corners, making Chloe look extremely terrifying.
The audience off-scene was extremely anxious:
【I'm freaking out! Why isn't Chloe pressing the alarm button yet?!】
【I feel so bad for my sister. Her condition is so poor.】
【Can't the organizers forcibly make my sister withdraw? What the hell are you guys eating?!】
The organizers did want to do that, but without Ren Yunying's permission, they didn't dare act without authorization.
As she watched Chloe on the screen, Ren Yunying clenched her fists tightly.
If she hadn't guessed wrong, after this ordeal, Chloe's perception ability would greatly improve.
Back when she was tangled with the Rainforest Giant Snake, Ren Yunying had already noticed something amiss.
If Chloe could weather this storm, her future prospects would be limitless.
Ren Yunying held the forced withdrawal button that the organizers had given her.
If an accident occurred or Chloe couldn't hold on, she would press the button and bring Chloe out.
She only hoped that Chloe would make good use of this opportunity...
In the arena, Chloe staggered.
This distance was enough.
The leopard pack would not rush back. Once they regained consciousness, this pack of leopards would have only Chloe as their target.
Thinking of this, Chloe raised her large machete and fiercely hacked at the leader of the leopards.
Under this heavy blow, the secret charm technique of the vampire failed.
Blood gushed from the leopard's head, it roared hoarsely, and the surrounding leopards quickly regained consciousness.
They only paused for a moment before roaring and pouncing on Chloe, looking to tear her to shreds.
The power that burst out in a desperate situation was not to be underestimated.
Chloe lowered her waist while raising the machete, slashing hard at an leopard's underbelly!
Blood gushed out, splashing Chloe from head to toe.
She rolled to her feet, her eyes belligerent.
That leopard collapsed with a boom, but there were so many surrounding leopards that one went down and another came up again.
Endless, it seemed they could never be finished off.
Gasping heavily, scarlet in her eyes, swinging her blade to evade attacks had all become instinctive reactions of Chloe's body. Sometimes her mind hadn't even processed the situation yet before her blade would strike out.
At the same time, she could feel her perception was almost exhausted...
...but not completely exhausted.
Chloe's perception thrashed violently inside her body. Clearly on the verge of exhaustion, yet strangely there would always be another wave surging out.
Chloe's nearly fried brain managed to somehow start working.
This seemed to be a sign that her perception was ready to advance...
Considering this, Chloe felt a little reinvigorated, fighting with even more effort.
Her legs wrapped around a leopard's head, her waist spun tightly and wrenched hard to the side. With the sound of a skull shattering "crack", Chloe's other hand swung the blade and severed the head of a leopard in front of her.
Endless swinging of blades and strangling, the barrier in her mind around her perception was ever more loose.
Blood, flesh and brains of these beasts splattered all over Chloe's head and face, extremely gruesome.
She cleaved the head off another leopard in front of her and was about to turn to deal with the one behind when her vision went black, her stamina unable to support the weight of the blade and she collapsed holding the machete.
At the same time, the leopard behind opened its blood-filled maw and bounded over!
The off-scene audience stood up in anxiousness:
【The alarm button, press the alarm!】
Ren Yunying got up from her chair, eyebrows knitted extremely tight, thumb resting right on the button.
Just as she was about to press down, that leopard suddenly stopped in mid-air, and didn't move.
This is...
Not only that leopard, but the rest of the surrounding leopards, were all frozen in place, either on the ground or half in the air, as if time had stopped.
【What happened...】
【What's up with those leopards? Or did Chloe do something?】
【I remember now, I think it's a higher level of vampiric perception, what's it called again?】
"Perception Forms." Ren Yunying's voice rang out as the screen switched views to focus on her.
She heaved a sigh of relief and heavily sat back in her chair.
Success, Chloe really hadn't disappointed her expectations.
Compared to perception used for detection, perception forms that perception advanced to was a vampires strongest skill.
They could coagulate weapons using perception to use in battle. As long as their perception didn't run dry, the weapons would not be damaged.
Just before, what Chloe must have done was congregate her perception into formless blades to utterly massacre those leopards from top to bottom.
Inside the arena, Chloe staggered up from the ground, relying entirely on the weight of the machete to support herself. Those dual crimson eyes no longer held any other color.
Two streaks of bloody tears slid down as Chloe closed her eyes. Subtle ripples propagated through the air.
In the next moment, those leopards exploded violently!
A bloody mess of corpses and flesh chunks littered the ground with Chloe standing amidst it all. She raised her hand and lightly stroked her own temples.
Witnessing all this, the audience was dumbstruck.
【What the heck was that, they suddenly self detonated?】
【No clue, what happened with the leopards? Or did Chloe do something?】
【I just recalled, it's probably a higher form of vampiric perception, what's it called...】
"Perception Forms." As the view on screen switched back to Ren Yunying, the audience heard her speak those words again.
She heaved a deep sigh of relief and heavily collapsed back into her chair.
Success. Chloe truly hadn't disappointed her expectations.
