The two assassins were forced to fight. Although they managed to repel a Shadowclaw Beast with their superior equipment and skills, they were forced to move constantly, and their formation was thrown into disarray.
In the panicked retreat, one of the assassins slammed his back into a crevice in the rocks.
A faint hissing sound rang out as the cluster of paralyzing mushrooms, compressed, released a cloud of yellow spore smoke that enveloped his head.
He felt a wave of dizziness, then his hands and feet went numb, and his movements became stiff and slow.
At this opportune moment, Mo Chen, who had been hiding in the shadow of a giant rock near the center of the stone platform, made his move.
He launched a sudden attack, targeting the assassin who was hampered by the paralyzing spores and unable to move freely.
He didn't use any energy weapons; all he had in his hand was that seemingly decorative vintage dagger.
A flash of cold light swiftly and accurately sliced through the assassin's neck.
The man stared wide-eyed at the suddenly appearing Mo Chen, making a gurgling sound in his throat, before slowly collapsing to the ground.
Upon seeing this, another assassin, who had just escaped the Shadowclaw Beast's clutches, was terrified and raised his gun to fire.
However, Mo Chen seemed to have anticipated his movements, and the instant he raised his gun, he kicked up a piece of gravel with his toe.
The pebbles struck the opponent's wrist with pinpoint accuracy, like cannonballs fired from a gun.
The assassin screamed as his Gauss rifle flew out of his hand.
Mo Chen moved like the wind, already closing in.
With a backhand flick of the dagger, he severed the energy supply belt around the opponent's waist, instantly disabling his optical camouflage and auxiliary equipment.
Immediately afterwards, a heavy chop to the side of his neck struck him precisely.
The second assassin rolled his eyes and fainted without uttering a sound.
From the sudden attack to the end of the fight, the entire process took no more than ten seconds, clean and efficient without a single unnecessary movement.
Hiding in the space, Zi Xi stared in disbelief, her heart pounding wildly.
Amo's sharp skills, extremely calm judgment, and seemingly innate fighting instincts make him practically a human killing machine.
She knew Mo Chen might be very capable, but she didn't expect him to be this capable.
Mo Chen quickly inspected the scene.
One person has been confirmed dead and one is in a coma.
He quickly installed miniature trackers and listening devices on the unconscious assassin, and forcibly removed the storage crystal from the tactical quantum computer he was carrying.
After doing all this, he made a safety gesture in the direction where Zi Xi disappeared.
Zi Xi then had a thought and came out of the space.
Seeing the two assassins on the ground, their fates unknown, and the lingering smell of blood in the air, she forced a smile and walked to Mo Chen's side.
"it's over?"
"Hmm, you're scared already?"
Mo Chen looked at her somewhat pale face and softened his voice.
"A little, but you told me they were all extremely wicked people, so I mostly think they deserved it!"
Zi Xi shook her head and then nodded, finally taking a deep breath, her eyes becoming resolute.
Mo Chen looked at her trying to appear brave, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"Take a look at this; it might provide a clue. We need to get out of here as soon as possible; the smell of berries and blood could lead to more trouble."
He handed her the storage chip.
Zi Xi accepted the crystal and carefully put it away.
The two quickly cleaned up the scene, erasing any trace of their presence and recovering the trap remnants.
Then, as if it had never existed, it quietly disappeared into the depths of the Echo Stone Forest.
This time, they were no longer prey fleeing in panic.
