The explosion of the plasma bomb caused the situation on the other side to become even more chaotic. Dozens of rank 3 ability users were running for their lives. It was a complete mess.
"Aren't we going to chase after them?" The Magic Puppet suddenly asked.
"There are still a few people with decent strength inside. After they return, they will soon be able to receive the inheritance left behind by Haematosuchus and the others. It won't be long before they become the next Haematosuchus, the next Venom!"
"It's not that simple!" Scorpion smiled.
"These families on the other side are planning to kill us all. They have recruited so many rank 3 hunters, so their original forces should be pretty much exhausted."
"It won't be that easy to suppress others and become the new boss. The more people run, the more chaotic it will be."
"Moreover, we don't even know what's going on with the polluters. If we chase after them rashly, we will definitely have to fight with the polluters. We have already lost enough people!"
Scorpion's eyes suddenly focused. A dazzling silver light suddenly erupted from the passage on the other side. It was as if a huge silver lightning snake was wreaking havoc in the crowd.
"It's Arc Light!
Why is he attacking? "
Soon, Scorpion saw Arc Light leading a group of people out from the other side. Arc Light was even carrying two charred corpses in his hands.
One of the corpses was Hou, and the other was out of their expectations!
"It's Ghostface. He didn't die from the explosion of the plasma bomb!"
Scorpion looked at the corpse in Arc Light's hands in surprise. He originally thought that Ghostface had died from the explosion of the plasma bomb. He didn't expect him to escape and die in the hands of Arc Light in the end.
As Arc Light approached, the few mechanics who were building the fortifications instantly became nervous and prepared to attack.
The battle between Arc Light and Hou had left them with too much shock. In terms of attack power, Arc Light was definitely the strongest among the peak rank 3 experts present.
With Arc Light's powerful ability, once he got close, the fortifications might be instantly destroyed.
"Don't attack. Arc Light is one of us!" Zhui's voice suddenly rang out.
The few Mechanics were stunned when they heard that. Only then did they realize that the originally unconscious Zhui had stood up at some point in time. His voice was full of energy, and he did not seem to be injured at all.
"I thought you would continue to play dead until the end of the battle," the Magic Puppet said with a smile.
Cheng coughed and said,
"Originally, I wanted to catch them off guard, but I didn't expect them to be wiped out by you guys before I even made a move!"
"We didn't kill him. It was Qi Yuan!" The Magic Puppet corrected him with a straight face.
Zheng was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
"Qi Yuan's outburst saved many lives. Otherwise, even if we won, we wouldn't have won so easily."
As long as the peak rank 3 experts on the other side did not die, even if Arc Light backstabbed them, many people would definitely die in this battle.
Zhui did not expect that Qi Yuan would first cripple Cheng, then kill Venom, and then blow up Haematosuchus. Finally, Ghostface, who faked his death to escape, was killed by Arc Light. This battle was easily won.
Arc Light threw the two corpses in front of the three of them and said with a serious expression, "Leave quickly.
The corrupted beasts behind us are very strong. Not only have they overcome their fear of light, but there are also peak rank 3 corrupted beasts among them. At least half of the hunters who escaped must stay. "
"Also, I have to remind you that Qinglei suddenly disappeared!"
Qinglei, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, disappeared?
The Magic Puppet was obviously stunned. Qinglei was burned by him, and he knew how serious Qinglei's injuries were. With such injuries, unless she used the Epiphyllum Potion, Qinglei would not live for more than an hour. Obviously, Zheng would not use the Epiphyllum Potion on Qinglei.
Qinglei, who was in such a state, suddenly disappeared!
There were corrupted beasts everywhere, where could she go?
The Magic Puppet shook his head and forcibly suppressed the thoughts related to Qinglei. Compared to Qinglei, the rampant corrupted beasts were the immediate danger.
Zheng frowned slightly. Although he had predicted the corrupted beasts' strength, peak rank 3 corrupted beasts were still out of his expectations.
Dozens of rank 3 ability users who were focused on escaping, and half of them were left behind. This kind of strength was not weaker than any of them.
Such a powerful force, if they waited until the two sides were in a melee and then suddenly attacked, they might even be surrounded and killed underground by the corrupted beasts.
"These corrupted beasts are so crazy, there must be the Xu family's doing." Fang said in a deep voice.
"Let's leave the old city first and report the situation here to the Black Steel Shelter. Let them send people to deal with it!"
Just as they were about to leave together, Zheng suddenly asked, "Where is Qi Yuan?"
Scorpion and the Magic Puppet looked at each other and said with a strange expression, "He left."
"Left?" Zheng was slightly stunned.
"He left with the others?"
"We'll talk about this when we get back."
Scorpion saw this and immediately changed the topic. The last plasma bomb explosion, although it killed Haematosuchus and destroyed the lead box at the same time, the most important thing was that the Asterite in the lead box was gone. Although there were only some broken Asterite left in the lead box, and its value was not comparable to the Asterite No. 1 and No. 2 in their hands, there was a lot of broken Asterite inside!
Dozens of broken Asterite added together was definitely a huge fortune, a fortune that would make them, peak rank 3, interested.
Although Haematosuchus and the others occupied the lead box for a while, in the end, Ghostface was lucky enough to escape the explosion range of the plasma bomb, making the disappearance of these Asterite a mess.
However, they were all smart people. Among all the people who came into contact with these Asterite, Qi Yuan was the most suspicious.
If an enemy took away these Asterite, they would naturally pursue with all their strength and try to seize these broken Asterite as much as possible. However, Qi Yuan was different.
Not only was Qi Yuan one of their own, but his strength was also not weaker than any peak rank 3. At the same time, he had also helped them a lot, almost single-handedly taking back No. 1 and No. 2.
In addition, Qi Yuan was also one of the examinees of Wolf's Teeth Hunt. Under the combination of all these factors, Scorpion and the Magic Puppet did not know what to say.
After all, Qi Yuan was only a suspect. No one saw Qi Yuan take away the Asterite.
Rashly suspecting Qi Yuan would only push this powerful ally to the opposite side.
After seeing how Qi Yuan killed Venom, the two of them did not want to have an enemy like Qi Yuan.
The shot Qi Yuan used to kill Venom was too terrifying!
Venom, who had a rank 3 defense, was actually pierced through in one shot. This meant that they could not block that bullet either.
At this time, the Corrupted Beasts seemed to have discovered the smell of flesh and blood here. Three Corrupted Beasts with mucus that had not completely dried up roared and charged over.
As peak rank 3 aptitude users, they all had rich experience hunting in the wilderness. Most of the insectoids that appeared in the vicinity had records of fighting and even killing them. Some of the rare insectoids, even if they hadn't encountered them before, they would have heard the corresponding descriptions from other people, so they could recognize them at a glance.
However, these three Corrupted Beasts in front of them, they had never seen or heard of any of them.
Unfamiliar Insectoids meant unknown abilities!
Unknown danger!
"It's them!" Scorpion's eyes narrowed.
The last time they accidentally entered the old city, Long Han died in the hands of these unfamiliar and powerful Corrupted Beasts.
The three Corrupted Beasts were aggressive and did not lose to them at all.
"You guys go first!" Magic Puppet said to the Mechanics guarding the position.
The main force had already retreated. They did not want to fight these Corrupted Beasts here. The Mechanics staying behind would only affect their speed of retreat.
"Let me test the strength of their bodies!"
The white electric arcs in Arc Light's eyes dispersed. He stretched out his right finger, and the restless blazing electric arcs quickly condensed into a ball, and then turned into a winding white electric snake that shot towards the polluting beast at the front.
The Corrupted Beast targeted by Arc Light was somewhat similar to a Komodo Lizard. It had a slender body, thick limbs, and its body was covered in dark green scales. From the top of its head to the thick tail behind it, there was a row of pale white bone spikes growing from its spine.
Seeing the white electric arc coming, the Giant Corrupted Lizard did not dodge. It lowered its head and charged forward.
Whoosh!
The white electric snake directly hit the Giant Corrupted Lizard's forehead. The powerful energy caused the Giant Corrupted Lizard that was charging at the front to pause for a moment, but that was all.
The white electric arc turned into small electric snakes that spread toward the pale white bone spikes on its back, leaving only a faint burn mark on its forehead.
As the white electric arc disappeared, the ends of the two pale white bone spikes on the Giant Corrupted Lizard's back suddenly became as red as blood, as if they were burning iron.
"Its energy resistance is actually so strong!"
Arc Light was shocked. Although the attack just now was just a test and he did not use his full strength, it was enough to threaten a normal Grade 3 Corrupted Beast. However, this strange Giant Corrupted Lizard was not damaged at all, only leaving a faint burn mark.
This strong energy resistance was comparable to a Grade 3 Natural Resistance!
The Giant Corrupted Lizard lowered its head slightly. The two blood-red bone spikes were aimed at Arc Light from afar.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! The two bone spikes shot out from the Giant Corrupted Lizard's back. The target was Arc Light who had just attacked.
The bone spikes were extremely fast, not any slower than a bullet. However, in front of a Grade 3 aptitude user, the bone spikes' trajectory was clearly visible.
Arc Light subconsciously prepared to dodge, but he saw Scorpion take a step forward and block in front of him.
Arc Light was obviously stunned. He did not expect Scorpion to do this. Before, when he teamed up with Venom and the others, there was not much trust between them. Both sides had been scheming against each other.
In the face of such a sudden attack, not only would no one help you block it, but you would also have to be careful of Venom and the others' sneak attack from behind while you were attacking.
Scorpion and Scorpion were now working together. Although both of them had a good reputation, Arc Light never thought that they would take the initiative to help him block the Corrupted Beast's attack.
This kind of unfamiliar Corrupted Beast's attack was more dangerous than the known Insectoids. The slightest carelessness would cause one to be injured. Scorpion's action was undoubtedly transferring others' risk to himself.
Vaguely, Arc Light felt some differences between the Iron Chariots and the other gathering points. It was not a coincidence that the two hunting teams, Wolf's Teeth and Thunder Scorpion, had stronger cohesion than the other hunting teams.
Scorpion directly reached out his right hand to catch the scarlet bone spurs.
Scorpion's speed was extremely fast. Almost at the same time, he had caught the two scarlet bone spurs in his hand.
When the bone spurs were in his hand, Scorpion's eyebrows twitched. The two scarlet bone spurs in his palm vibrated violently, like an unstable bomb that could explode at any time.
Scorpion snorted coldly, and a strong blue thunderbolt exploded between his palms. Then, only a dull explosion was heard. Amidst the dazzling blue electric arc, a white electric arc could be vaguely seen being quickly annihilated.
Scorpion let go of his right hand. The two scarlet bone spurs had turned into a pile of hard fragments. Under the explosion of the two energies, the bone spurs burst in an instant.
If the two bone spurs pierced into the body, the hard bone fragments would instantly destroy the internal organs. Its lethality was enough to kill most of the aptitude users who had not strengthened their defense to the third stage.
"It can absorb the energy of the enemy's attack and use it to attack the enemy!"
Scorpion's expression was a little serious. He had casually tested the Corrupted Beast's attack and defense. The Corrupted Beast's difficulty had increased by another level.
"There must be a limit to the strength of the attack they can absorb!"
Arc Light's eyes flashed. The white electric arc in his hand danced again as if he wanted to use all his strength to test the Corrupted Lizard's limit.
"Don't rush. Let me try!" The Magic Puppet spoke up to stop Arc Light's action.
Before its voice died away, the head on the Magic Puppet's neck jumped off by itself. It turned into a small mechanical puppet and collided head-on with the Corrupted Lizard.
"I've also encountered Insectoids with high elemental resistance. Their physical resistance is generally weak."
The small Magic Puppet was extremely fast. It rushed to the front of the Corrupted Lizard almost instantly. The other two Corrupted Beasts were not affected at all. They charged directly at the four of them.
"Interesting!"
Scorpion raised his eyebrows. He clenched his fists. Blue electric arcs gathered in his hands as if he was wearing a pair of blue gloves that could release lightning.
If they were ordinary bestial Corrupted Beasts, they would have besieged the mechanical puppet at the same time. However, the other two Corrupted Beasts gave up their siege and rushed directly at the others.
This meant that the controller behind these Corrupted Beasts was more ambitious than they had imagined. Its goal was not only to drive away the humans, but to kill them as much as possible!
"One Corrupted Beast each. Let's end this quickly!"
Scorpion quickly turned into a Black Wolf and activated Scarlet Lightning. These Corrupted Beasts had shown their powerful strength. Since they had attacked, they had to crush them violently. Otherwise, if other Corrupted Beasts heard the sound and rushed over, things would become more dangerous.
Scorpion rushed out first. His right hand was wrapped in blue electric arcs. He suddenly punched the Corrupted Beast in front of him.
The Corrupted Beast, which was somewhat similar to a crocodile, had a slender mouth full of fine sharp teeth. It opened its mouth directly, as if it wanted to swallow Scorpion's fist in one bite.
Scorpion's eyes darkened. The moment his fist entered the Corrupted Beast's mouth, he suddenly turned. The fierce straight punch instantly turned into a brutal uppercut.
The Corrupted Beast didn't have time to close its mouth and bite, so it was struck in the upper jaw by Scorpion's fist. Berserk power and blue lightning instantly erupted.
Scorpion's face didn't show the slightest trace of joy. This punch was powerful and heavy, enough to kill a normal third level ability user, yet it actually didn't penetrate the Corrupted Beast's upper jaw.
This meant that this Corrupted Beast's body was comparable to a third level strengthened defense.
Even though the Corrupted Beast's upper jaw wasn't penetrated, Scorpion's power wasn't that easy to endure. This Corrupted Beast that was comparable to a giant crocodile was directly blasted off the ground by Scorpion's uppercut, exposing its abdomen that was stuck to the ground.
Normal four-legged Insect Beasts' abdomen defense would be a bit weaker than other areas. However, this Corrupted Beast's abdomen was similarly covered in thick dark green scales, completely going against Scorpion's previous common sense.
The blue lightning in Scorpion's left hand erupted. Then, he suddenly punched the Corrupted Beast's abdomen.
Only a rumbling sound could be heard. The blue lightning exploded. The scales on the Corrupted Beast's abdomen were instantly shattered. Its enormous body was immediately sent flying. After landing, the Corrupted Beast rolled a few times on the ground before finally stopping at the center of the arena, not moving at all.
