Chapter 1278 - The Moving One and the Non-moving One
While speaking, the man waved a hand toward Lin Kui and released a thick, yellow stream of mist.
Normally, his poisonous mist was highly effective on both human beings and mutated beasts. However, unexpectedly, he soon saw the black panther unhurriedly walk out of the poisonous mist as it bared its teeth and growled before jumping at him.
“How is that possible!” The man popped his eyes and stared at the panther in shock, but still remembered to move backward and create a distance from Lin Kui.
“Roar…” The black panther nimbly leaped toward him and landed on the edge of the roof, fixing its eyes on the man and waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
“It’s a level-seven beast. No wonder my poisonous mist is ineffective on it.” The man gave Lin Kui a close look and found the latter’s vibe not weaker than his at all.
Looking at the level-seven dual-powered girl and the level-seven beast, the short man had to be more cautious than before. The look on his face grew much more serious than it was a short while ago.
“What’s going on? Lili, I understand that you might have problems handling him by yourself, but there are two of you now. Why can’t you guys still take him down?” Yun Meng showed up on top of the building behind the short man and asked Qiu Lili
“This mist of his is special, and the weapon in his hand is very powerful.” The mist concealed the man’s vibe and allowed him to hide perfectly while the gun was able to block her attack. That was not an ordinary weapon.
Qiu Lili hated to admit it, but that was a fact. As long as the man still had the weapon, her attacks wouldn’t deliver any actual effects. All she could do was launch physical attacks to the man from a short distance.
However, her powers were suitable for launching long-range attacks, and not close combat. And as a clean freak, she wouldn’t want to attack the enemy with her claws unless she had to.
“I’ll handle him then,” Yun Meng understood Qiu Lili’s meaning. Soon, she disappeared from where she was.
As Yun Meng showed up, the short man became even more sullen-faced than before.
Who said that All Beings Base only had one level-seven member apart from the Chief lady? Well, he said that himself actually.
Where were all those level-seven people from? What did that small base have to make so many level-seven beings stay?
Yun Meng’s presence made him feel dangerous. She had keen sensations too. Just now, she showed up behind him and he didn’t sense her approaching at all. That meant she had some kind of ability to avoid his radar. She had the same type of power as he did.
Yun Meng disappeared after she said a few words to Qiu Lili. Right after that, the short man sensed chilliness from his back, as if he were targeted by some kind of fierce beast.
“You need to get rid of his weapon first,” Qiu Lili yelled toward the short man, then stepped back to a distance away to watch.
When Yun Meng disappeared, Lin Kui leaped away from the roof of the building to Qiu Lili’s side and sat down as he started watching too. Soon, Lin Feng showed up and joined them.
The short man realized that he had been encircled by three level-seven superpower possessors and a level-seven mutated beast. At the moment, he had no chance of winning at all, even though he was holding the newest weapon developed by Huaxia Base.
He tried to stay calm, but he was already thinking about how to run. This time, he really wanted to run and not pretend to do so to lure his enemy away from the battlefield like just now.
As he was vigilantly looking around, preparing himself for a surprise attack, the invisible Yun Meng got down on all fours a nd started transforming into her beast shape. Her limbs turned into claws, covered in scales. Sharp and strong thorns grew out of her forearms and elbows. She curled her tail into a ring and slowly crawled toward the man.
The short man looked around alertly while releasing more mist. His mist disabled Yun Meng from locating him by his scent. As the mist reached toward her, she stopped moving.
She had no idea if the weird mist could allow the man to detect her. Qiu Lili had told her that the mist was special, so she had to be cautious.
Before long, the entire roof was covered by the thick mist, and the short man disappeared into it without a trace.
Yun Meng stayed where she was for a while to see if the mist could allow the man to locate her.
The short man was moving quietly in the mist. He was trying very hard to find Yun Meng, and in the meantime, he was very worried that she might find him. He planned to release as much mist as he could. By the time the mist covered a few miles in radius, he would have an opportunity to run.
He needed time to release so much mist. During that process, he could not let Yun Meng find him. More importantly, he was not able to sense his enemy’s presence in the mist even though he clearly knew that she was right in the mist.
Usually, he was able to locate his enemy in the mist by sensing the air streams that touched his enemy. But now, he couldn’t do that. Neither of them was able to locate the other. One of them quietly stayed where she was while the other was moving around silently.
The people who were watching that battle could only see a massive, thick cloud of mist.
“Oi, just tell me, what did that woman do to you?” Yue Xiaoxian, who was already cleaning the battlefield, was following behind Jingyan. She was curious, so she followed Jingyan everywhere and kept asking her the same question.
The population of human beings had shrunk by ninety percent, but still, millions of people existed in the world. There was only a small chance for one to find someone familiar among the people who came to invade her own base!
“Why are you so curious about that?” Jingyan looked at her and said, “Were you a reporter?”
“Eh? How did you know?” Yue Xiaoxian looked at her with surprise.
Jingyan stopped short, then looked at her and said, “I was just guessing. Were you really a reporter?”
