Chapter 73 Team Competition
"...You two really are a team."
The rope user whispered in shock.
It took him just the time to see someone off. When he turned around, he saw the three people who had fallen to the ground stood up. They looked more energetic than him and were even waving at him.
What happened? What plot did he miss?
The psychic glanced at Ye Yunhe and Si Yu'an in confusion, then moved his sight down to the two people's name tags. He couldn't help but be glad that he went to pick up the other person first, otherwise, as soon as the name tag was broken, the person would open his eyes outside the next second. That would be a very dramatic scene.
His companion beside him felt the same way and patted his shoulder comfortingly.
Lin Muyu was dealing with his teammates' deadly words. Noticing two dull gazes, he turned around and said goodbye with a smile:
"Excuse me, we won't bother you anymore. The support is going in that direction, right?"
The psychic looked in the direction he was looking at, nodded slowly, then stood there and watched the three people go away. He used the muscle memory in his hands to pick up another person who fell from the sky and continued his reception process.
Before breaking the badge out of habit, he lowered his head and waited for a few breaths. Seeing that the contestant was sleeping soundly, he felt relieved and used force.
——
"Captain, how can you leave the team alone without caring about us!"
The gust of wind brought by running blew away the dissatisfied words, and Si Yuan once again criticized Lin Muyu's bad behavior.
"You can't learn from Xiao Heng. In the future, you should trust your teammates more in situations like this. If you can wake up, then we can too. Don't underestimate the system's allocation function!"
"That's right, Captain. You don't learn good things but learn bad things. You will be included in the next interrogation." Ye Yunhe nodded in agreement, still holding the potion that was returned to its original owner in his hand.
The potion had been shared by the three of them, leaving only an empty bottle. But it can be put to good use and thrown out to attract fire at critical moments.
As for the taste...when it comes to supernatural potions, how can you measure it by whether it tastes good or not? As long as you can swallow it, it's fine!
"Alas... I promise there won't be a next time." Listening to the accusations from both sides, Lin Muyu sighed helplessly.
Although he had relayed Bai Zhou's words to his two teammates, he still could not escape the interrogation. He also sympathized with Qi Heng who was surrounded on three sides that day.
"If there is a next time, I will definitely use the method you mentioned, 'Pinching the Ren Zhong to speed up awakening'. As for now, please let my ears go."
"Very good, that's what I want."
The two were finally satisfied. After stopping chanting, they followed Lin Muyu quietly on the road, paying attention to the surrounding environment.
There was the sound of weapons clashing from the front.
The three of them frowned and hurried over to the sound.
After passing the collapsed tree trunk that blocked the road and lifting the leaves that were blowing in the face, what came into view was a creature that was neither human nor ghost, exuding black air and with a tall and deformed appearance. The ominous aura attacked his sight from the first glance, making people subconsciously have negative emotions.
This reminded Si and An of the days in the copy.
The monster was being surrounded by four employees. Its skin was pale and distorted into oily black. Blood was oozing out of its wounds and flowing into the gaps between its eye sockets, making its completely black eyes even more eye-catching.
The long, shiny white weapon was pointed directly at him. It seemed to be extremely frightened. It was trapped in the center and dared not make any rash moves. The employees were at a subtle distance from the monster, making it impossible for it to approach or escape easily.
Wait, this is a cultist? No, is this a human?
The protagonists finally understood why the rope user had such a strange expression.
"What the hell is this?" Ye Yunhe frowned in disgust.
As they still didn't know the monster's capabilities, the three of them watched cautiously, trying to gain information about the cultists during the battle.
Lin Muyu's mind moved, and the black shadow slowly moved towards that side from under his feet, ready to strike.
Judging from the situation, they probably want to capture this fresh specimen alive. I just don't know if this monster has the ability to self-destruct, so as not to add another straw to this crumbling illusion.
The cultist was breathing heavily, perhaps he could no longer endure this situation, and finally he let out a shrill scream, swung his long arms, and a strange black oily liquid shot towards one person after another, carrying a foul smell and corrosiveness.
It then attacked that person, trying to gather a point to break the balance.
There is no need to think about it now, as it is still too difficult to capture it alive. The rest of the employees frowned and dodged. The chains created by the supernatural power tied up the tall monster, and another one gently tied up the colleague on the other side, trying to put some distance between the other party and the cultist.
At the same time, the colleague raised the weapon in his hand, and the white light suddenly surged. Energy poured into it and was absorbed and transformed. The sharp thorn on the tip suddenly peeled off and bounced straight up towards the monster's body.
“——!!”
Then came another three spike attacks, which penetrated the monster precisely in various places, and surprisingly broke through its hard and deformed skin with ease, exploding inside it.
A miserable scream sounded the next second, and the intense emotions contained in it made people feel restless.
The employees were sweating profusely and looked pale, as the huge amount of energy released took away their physical strength. Even so, they still took a deep breath and continued to channel their supernatural powers into it.
The white weapon was like a converter. Ordinary superpowers could not shake the cultist's body, but once this weapon was used, it would have unparalleled power.
The protagonists watched this scene intently, not missing a single detail.
The monster still wanted to break free from the chains and move away. The hidden black shadow moved at will and hit it hard. At the same time, a big sword was thrown at it with force. The two forces shook it and finally it was pulled to the ground by the chains, completely losing the right to resist.
The crazy screams never stopped, and the cultists used all their strength to attack everyone's eardrums and affect their emotions.
“——!”
The air stagnated for a moment.
The employees were not relaxed at all. After they noticed it, they immediately withdrew their special powers, retracted the spikes, and quickly leaped back a few steps to increase the distance.
The next moment, a sound even louder than the sound of a huge explosion was heard. Thick, oily black liquid attacked indiscriminately along with the exploding black gas, and the monster's huge body broke apart.
Like those people, the condensed black mist on the broken limbs broke free from its restraints and stretched out.
The difference is that the area of this black fog is only about two meters, which can only be considered small. If you are far away, you will not be sucked into it.
No wonder they had to use long-range weapons; this sinister way of death is indeed in line with the style of a cult.
Letting out a sigh of relief, even though the protective suits were not stuffy, the employees broke out in a cold sweat during the battle.
The cool breeze was like a reward for this victory, just enough to blow away the restlessness in my heart.
"Over there—"
An employee looked towards the hiding place of the protagonist group, thinking that it was an eliminated person coming to support them, so he shouted: "Come out, it has been solved."
——
Before long, the four pairs of originally calm eyes stared blankly at the three people, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
"Uh, hi? Miss, do you remember us? I'm Si Yu'an, and I just chatted with you guys before."
Si Yuan waved his hand obediently and said tentatively.
"We woke up not long after being pulled out of the black fog, so we came to support them as well."
“…”
The employee who shouted stared at him quietly, with a complicated look behind his goggles.
"I remember." She was speechless, as if she was amazed by the scene before her. "At that time, you had just finished cleaning up the dungeon and were making a fuss in the infirmary. When I passed by, I thought that the three of you had good recovery abilities and were good material."
"I never thought that your recovery ability would even include the black fog. I am amazed."
"Oh, this..." Si Yu'an smiled implicitly and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, no, it's just that we were involved for a short time. By the way, young lady, how many monsters did the cult send?"
"There are thirteen in total, and seven have been killed now."
Another employee said in a deep voice that she was the leader of the team and had a special contact person to pass on information.
She pressed the headset to answer the call, then turned around quickly, motioning for them to keep up with her pace, and said as she ran:
"These monsters are mutated from humans, so they have thoughts and strategies. The most disgusting one is the leader, and he is being besieged by two teams."
"We have to go and provide support now. Maybe we can capture them alive."
Catch him alive.
Although it is difficult, everything contained in it is exciting. No matter how difficult it is, you must try it as long as you have the opportunity.
The protagonists followed the employees closely, with the same thoughts in their minds.
Currently, the cult’s research on the black fog is far better than that of the pros. This time, it was because of Bai Ri’s intelligence that they caught the other side off guard... but what about next time? If we don't turn the situation around, there will come a day when we can't bear it anymore.
"The distance is quite far, we are taking a very short route, please watch your feet...wait, what?" The employee was adjusting the route, but the voice from the headset made her stop in her tracks the next second, as if she was questioning her hearing, and she let out a surprised "ha".
"The teleportation talisman is like this... Never mind, it seems to be used this way, so cast it down then."
"?"
The others stopped in their tracks and looked at her in confusion.
Soon, a bundle - yes, a bundle - of teleportation talismans emitting sacred light fell from the sky and landed directly in front of Ye Yunhe. She subconsciously reached out to hold them and placed them in her palm, at a loss as to what to do.
Everyone's attention shifted and focused.
"...As you can see." The captain of the staff picked up the bundle of teleportation charms that exuded a rich atmosphere, pulled off the rope and distributed them one by one, "It said that we can't run too slowly, so they sent us teleportation charms."
"Okay, take one each, and then teleport according to the coordinates I told you."
"Okay, but..." Ye Yunhe still showed a shocked expression, frightened by the government's sudden generosity, "Do we really need to use high-end ones? It always hurts to do so."
"To be honest, I feel really bad too."
The staff captain numbly raised the talisman, his voice unconsciously becoming smaller: "But it says above - this is not a government asset, so we can use as much as we can, and there is no need to feel bad about it."
Protagonists: ...
They seemed to know who cast the spell.
