I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 249: Pathfinder Awakens, Thunder Tiger Blocks

An invisible wave of air, centered around Ren Xiaoyao, swept outward in all directions. Lei Hu's black lightning blast collided with the wave, vanishing instantly like a drop in the ocean. Ren Xiaoyao remained immersed in his own world, oblivious to the turmoil around him. His eyes were fixed on the runes on the king of spirit pets, his fingers dancing rapidly in the air, as if sketching some mysterious pattern.

"Damn it! What the hell is this kid doing?!" Lei Hu was filled with rage, yet also felt a tinge of fear. The aura emanating from Ren Xiaoyao at this moment made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. He had never seen such a strange move before, and he didn't understand why Ren Xiaoyao was so obsessed with the runes on the King of Spirit Pets.

"Go! Kill him!" Thunder Tiger roared, commanding all his spirit pets to launch a fierce attack on Ren Xiaoyao. For a moment, lights of various colors flashed, and deafening beast roars resounded through the sky. The entire space seemed to be torn apart by this violent force.

Yet, Ren Xiaoyao stood like a towering mountain, unmoved by the raging storm. A faint golden light enveloped him, shielding him from all attacks. His gaze was firm and determined, as if nothing could thwart his determination to uncover the truth.

"Roar—" The king of spirit pets roared, shaking the earth. It seemed to sense Ren Xiaoyao's intentions, and its massive body began to struggle violently. However, the runes on its body emitted an even brighter light, binding it firmly in place.

"Almost there..." Beads of sweat formed on Ren Xiaoyao's forehead, but he didn't relax at all. He could feel that he was only one step away from the final answer.

"I can't let him go on like this!" Lei Hu's eyes were bloodshot. He knew that if Ren Xiaoyao continued like this, the consequences would be disastrous. He took a deep breath and poured all his spiritual power into his natal spiritual pet - a huge black thunder leopard.

"Thunderstorm in the sky!" Thunder Tiger roared angrily, and the black thunder leopard howled to the sky. Black lightning as thick as buckets fell from the sky, like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, bombarding Ren Xiaoyao with the power to destroy the world.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw this scene and suddenly her face turned pale and she cried out in shock. She wanted to rush over to help Ren Xiaoyao, but was blocked by several of Lei Hu's spirit pets...

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin's heart leaped into her throat at the sight of the devastating force of thunder and lightning. She desperately wanted to rush over to help Ren Xiaoyao. However, Lei Hu's pets stood like a solid wall, blocking her path.

"Get out of here!" Xia Lin's eyes widened as she swung the long whip in her hand like a snake. The sharp whip shadows, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, lashed fiercely at the spirit pets. However, these spirit pets were carefully cultivated by Lei Hu and were extremely powerful. Although they were forced back a few steps by Xia Lin's attack, they still refused to let her go.

"Damn it!" Xia Lin was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch helplessly as the terrifying power of thunder and lightning devoured Ren Xiaoyao, silently praying for a miracle.

At this moment, the King of Spirit Pets, bearing the brunt of the attack, also felt the immense threat. Though its movements were slow, it still managed to maneuver its massive body, using its hardened scales to partially shield Ren Xiaoyao from the attack. Black lightning bolts as thick as buckets struck its body, exploding into balls of blinding lightning. Its scales shattered, blood splattered, and in a blink of an eye, the King of Spirit Pets was covered in several horrifying wounds.

"Roar—" The king of spirit pets roared in pain, but still stood firmly in front of Ren Xiaoyao, refusing to retreat. It seemed to understand that Ren Xiaoyao was doing something very important, and it had to protect him at all costs.

Ren Xiaoyao was completely oblivious to the outside world at this moment. All his attention was focused on the runes on the King of Spirit Pets. Those runes flashed even brighter under the bombardment of lightning, as if conveying some message to him.

A flash of inspiration struck Ren Xiaoyao's mind. He seemed to have grasped something crucial, but he needed more time to verify it. He took a deep breath, forming seals with his hands faster, muttering something to himself. Rays of golden light flew from his fingertips, merging into the runes...

"What is he doing?" Lei Hu saw this scene and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He wanted to stop Ren Xiaoyao, but it was too late.

The runes, originally in disarray, began to slowly shift under the guidance of the golden light, eventually forming a bizarre pattern. As this pattern took shape, an even more powerful force erupted from the King of Spirit Pets...

"Not good!" Lei Hu's face changed drastically and he exclaimed. However, it was too late.

Ren Xiaoyao's consciousness seemed to have entered a strange dimension. Countless ancient symbols whirled rapidly before his eyes, eventually converging into a complete star map. Within the map, one star shone with dazzling light, while the others dimmed, as if surrendering to this king star.

"Could this be the key to the awakening of the king of spirit pets?" Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved, and he vaguely grasped something, but it felt like seeing flowers in the fog, and he couldn't see clearly.

At this moment, a strong sense of crisis surged from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Lei Hu with a ferocious smile, waving his fist flashing with lightning, smashing towards him fiercely!

"Go to hell, Ren Xiaoyao!" Lei Hu roared, his eyes filled with mad murderous intent. He would never allow anyone to get involved in the secrets of the King of Spirit Pets, let alone threaten his position.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" From a distance, Xia Lin saw this scene and cried out in shock, her heart in her throat. However, she was tightly entangled by Lei Hu's spirit pet and could not escape. She could only watch helplessly as the fatal blow was about to fall on Ren Xiaoyao.

"It's too late..." Ren Xiaoyao's heart sank. Lei Hu's attack speed was too fast and he had no time to dodge.

"Success or failure depends on this!" At the critical moment, a look of determination flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. He did not care about his own safety, and suddenly pressed his hands on the king of spiritual pets, injecting all the spiritual power in his body into the strange rune.

"Give me... wake up!"

Ren Xiaoyao's cry echoed in the strange space, and his spiritual power rushed into the King of Spirit Pets like a flood. At the same time, the strange rune shone brightly, illuminating the entire space like daylight.

"Roar!" The king of spirit pets let out a deafening roar, and its huge body trembled violently, as if it was suffering great pain.

"Haha, Ren Xiaoyao, you're courting death!" Lei Hu, seeing this scene, was not afraid at all, but laughed even more crazily. "You think you can awaken the king of spirit pets? That's just a foolish dream! When you die, I will throw you and your spirit pet into a mass grave, and you will never be reborn!"

Lei Hu's words were like a venomous snake, stinging Ren Xiaoyao's heart. However, at this moment, Ren Xiaoyao no longer cared about Lei Hu's ridicule. All his attention was focused on the King of Spirit Pets.

"Wake up... for me!" Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, pressed his hands hard on the king of spiritual pets, and injected the last bit of spiritual power into the strange rune.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the strange rune suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire space like daylight. A terrifying energy wave emanated from the Spirit Pet King, as if threatening to tear the entire world apart.

"Not good!" Lei Hu's face changed drastically. He finally realized that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat.

However, it's too late.

The king of spiritual pets suddenly opened his eyes, and two golden rays of light shot out like lightning, instantly enveloping the Thunder Tiger.

"Ah!" Lei Hu let out a scream. His body was hit by the golden light and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin was extremely anxious when she saw this scene. She wanted to rush over, but was entangled by Lei Hu's spirit pet and could not get away at all.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ren Xiaoyao's voice sounded in Xia Lin's ears, full of calmness and confidence.

Xia Lin suddenly turned around and saw that Ren Xiaoyao had appeared beside her at some point, while Lei Hu was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

"This...how is this possible?" Xia Lin looked at the scene in front of her in shock, unable to believe her eyes.

Ren Xiaoyao ignored Xia Lin's surprise. He stared at the King of Spirit Pets with scorching eyes and said in a deep voice, "You're finally awake."

"Roar!" The king of spirit pets let out a low roar, and slowly stood up. Its huge body was like a mountain, exuding a suffocating pressure.

"Very good." Ren Xiaoyao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, "Next, let us fight side by side and conquer this world together!"

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded: "Young man, your ambition is too big..."
