Chapter 3888: Sneak attack

"What's going on? How did he discover me?"

Xue'er frowned tightly, her face pale; it was evident that this strike had caused her a certain amount of damage.

Immediately following, Xue'er slowly climbed up from the ground and discovered that the aura within her body was in chaos.

For a moment, she could only choose to regulate her aura first, while her eyes stared fixedly at the ox-headed monster not far away.

"Little girl, you are too naive. Do you really think we are so easy to deceive?"

"We monster clans have one greatest characteristic, and that is that our sense of smell is extremely sensitive; as long as there is even a tiny bit of aura, we can detect it."

"What's more, your cultivation base is about the same as ours, and the distance was so close."

The ox-headed monster revealed an incomparably smug smile, and as he spoke, he walked toward Xue'er step by step.

Watching the opponent constantly approaching, Xue'er did not rush to act, mainly because her aura was not yet very stable.

If she were to suddenly act against the ox-headed monster now, she would only be able to exert half of her own strength.

So now, she needed to be very clear that she must stall for some time with the opponent until her aura began to stabilize before she could choose to attack.

The monster's words made Xue'er frown.

"It seems it really was my miscalculation; I truly underestimated them."

Xue'er felt somewhat helpless in her heart; just a moment ago, she thought she was about to succeed, and that she would definitely be able to severely injure the opponent with a sneak attack.

But now it seemed she was the clown, having been outsmarted by someone playing along with her ruse.

At this time, Xue'er did not know how to describe her mood; instead, she concentrated her spirit on staring at the ox-headed monster before her, while doing her best to let her aura stabilize quickly.

At this very moment, the monster looked at Xue'er, and his expression could not help but reveal a sense of contempt.

But Xue'er felt the opponent's gaze, as if he had seen through her; she could not help but feel a bit suspicious in her heart—could it be that the monster already knew her thoughts?

Just as this thought was in her heart, suddenly, the monster flew toward Xue'er, and in an instant, he arrived before her.

At this very moment, Xue'er had already prepared a reaction; very quickly, she retreated a distance backward, but even so, the ox-headed monster tightened his offensive and pursued her.

Looking at the ox-headed monster before her, Xue'er frowned, feeling quite unpleasant in her heart.

Now that the opponent was attacking so densely, she did not even have the chance to regulate her aura.

Under such circumstances, she could only be at the mercy of others.

On the surface, it looked like Xue'er could still resist the opponent's attack, but only she knew in her heart that she could not hold on for much longer.

If she did not find a way to stall for enough time to let herself recover her strength, then the situation ahead would become incomparably dire, and she might even lose her little life.

At this very moment, Xue'er felt a wave of self-reproach in her heart; in the end, she had been too careless and had underestimated these monsters.

In her cognition, monsters seemed not very smart, and their IQ was relatively low, but after experiencing this matter, her thoughts had undergone a huge change.

"It seems these monsters are far smarter than I imagined; what should I do now?"

Xue'er began to doubt life. ===== CHAPTER 3890 =====
