The slender figure slowly approached Qi Yuan who was sleeping in the bathtub. Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of waking Qi Yuan up.
She stood beside the bathtub and glanced at the naked body that was soaked in the water. She seemed to be pleasantly surprised. This was a strong body that could withstand bullets.
Slowly, her eyes became sluggish. If someone were to look into her eyes, they would discover that her pupils had disappeared at some point in time, leaving behind a deathly white.
An invisible force enveloped the sleeping Qi Yuan and invaded his brain.
Rank 1 Mysterious Domain ability — Charm Human!
Compared to Xu Kui's soul enslavement, Charm Human was undoubtedly much weaker. Other than being able to work on humanoid creatures, there were many other relatively harsh conditions. For example, the difference in strength between the two parties could not be too great. At the same time, the other party had to be in a defenseless state.
The mysterious force invaded bit by bit. Just as it was about to completely control the target, she suddenly felt a hard and cold touch on her chin.
The fatal danger instantly woke her up from her stupor. The pale white in her eyes disappeared and her pupils reappeared, revealing a pair of panicked eyes.
Qi Yuan held Eagle with one hand and pressed the muzzle against the intruder's chin. He did not even need to aim. A single shot was enough to blow her head into pieces like a watermelon.
Qi Yuan stood up from the bathtub, warm water droplets sliding down the contours of his body. Under the cold pressure of the gun, the shorter girl was forced to stand on her tiptoes, tilting her head back to an angle where she could not stand steadily.
The woman's face was delicate and pretty. She looked no more than 18 years old. However, the curves of her body were very mature. Under the tight black nightgown, her near-perfect figure was clearly displayed.
This woman was a seductive beauty!
Just as this beautiful thought appeared in his mind, it was suppressed by Qi Yuan. The more beautiful a woman was, the more dangerous she was. In the new era, such a beautiful woman would not have been able to survive until now if she did not have enough strength. The fact that she dared to attack him alone proved that this woman was very dangerous.
Qi Yuan took a bath towel and wrapped it around his waist to cover his body's desire. He did not have the habit of being naked with strangers, even if the stranger was a beautiful woman.
"Who sent you?"
Qi Yuan's voice was very calm. His calmness made the girl shiver. She suddenly realized that if she hid anything or lied, the man in front of her would definitely pull the trigger and turn her into a corpse.
"Xu Kui!"
The girl only hesitated for a moment before giving the expected answer.
"What did he ask you to do?"
The girl only hesitated for two seconds before the ice-cold hand on her chin suddenly exerted force. The fear in her heart quickly suppressed everything else.
"He asked me to control you!"
After saying that, the girl quickly added, "My ability is to charm people, I can control rank 1 superhumans. He wants me to control you to clear out the mines that are occupied by the insectoids."
Qi Yuan frowned slightly. Xu Kui's methods were more brutal than he had imagined. If he hadn't been vigilant enough and smelled a faint fragrance in the room, he might have really succeeded.
Steel defenses had no way of resisting the mysterious ability to charm humans.
Xu Kui had already begun to use this method to recruit superhumans. Perhaps this was an opportunity!
"How many people has Xu Kui recruited?"
"I know of three. They are all Wilderness Hunters who have awakened superpowers in the combat domain. One of them is nicknamed the Butcher, and he has hunted a Corrupt Wolf alone!" the girl answered honestly.
"How many insectoids are there in the mines?"
"I already know. There is a rank 2 Shadow Lizard, a rank 1 Black-Toothed Rat King, and a large group of Black-Toothed Rats!"
There were rank 2 insectoids!
Qi Yuan was slightly shocked. A Tier 1 Rock Lizard was already very difficult to deal with. Let alone ordinary people, even Tier 1 Transcendents would be instantly killed by it. If not for his [Iron Defense] and [Annihilation Bullet], which coincidentally countered the Rock Lizard, he might not have been able to kill it.
At the same rank, even if a human superhuman used a weapon, it would still be very difficult to deal with an insectoid of the same rank. It was just like many Wilderness Hunters in Blackstone Town. Although they had awakened rank 1 superpowers, they could only become food for Corrupt Wolves.
This was because many of the superpowers awakened by humans could not directly increase their combat strength, while the abilities of insectoids strengthened their bodies.
Insectoids in the wilderness often had many different superpowers that could be used together. Even if they only relied on their claws and teeth, they were still more powerful than humans armed with firearms.
Take his Steel Defenses and Annihilation Warhead for example. Their individual abilities were not too outstanding, but when put together, they could completely crush ordinary rank 1 Superhumans in both offense and defense. Even the Rock Lizard could only die under his gun.
The rank 2 Shadow Lizard was even more difficult to deal with than the Rock Lizard. Compared to ordinary Wilderness Hunters, the huge difference in strength was not something that could be covered by numbers. Moreover, they could not use powerful weapons in the mines. Otherwise, the mines could collapse at any time, and that would be a real disaster.
Coupled with the huge number of black-toothed rats, Xu Kui's team did not have an advantage in terms of high-end combat strength or numbers. If they really rashly went down, they would only be delivering food to the insectoids below.
Unless Xu Kui was willing to enter the mines himself, the black scorpion he enslaved was also rank 2. It should be able to hold back the Shadow Lizards so that the clearing team would not be crushed.
Qi Yuan pondered for a moment and withdrew the muzzle that was pressed against the girl's chin. He asked, "Will Xu Kui enter the mines?"
The young girl looked at Qi Yuan in bewilderment as she honestly replied, "He has already promised that he will enter the mine together."
Qi Yuan nodded his head in a non-committal manner, deeply doubting Xu Kui's promise. Although Xu Kui had enslaved a Rank 2 Black Scorpion, it did not strengthen his own body after all. His body's battle prowess did not seem to be very strong. After entering the mine, if an accident occurred, the Rank 2 Black Scorpion might be able to escape, but he himself might not have the strength to do so.
The light in the room was dim. The girl's body was trembling slightly. Coupled with her delicate and pitiful expression, people could not help but feel pity for her.
Regarding her performance, Qi Yuan merely watched coldly until her expression stiffened a little. Only then did he slowly say, "Don't worry.
"Go back and tell Xu Kui that I am a Wilderness Hunter. As long as he can afford it, I can join the clearing team."
The girl's eyes flashed. She did not seem to believe that Qi Yuan would let her go so easily.
Could it be that he wanted to shoot me from behind when I turned around?
Just as she was hesitating whether to quickly turn around and leave, there was a sudden rhythmic knock on the door.
Dong Dong!
"Mr. Qi Yuan, Leader Xu Kui invites you in!"
A deep male voice came from outside the door.
Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback. He quickly guessed the other party's intentions. This Xu Kui was smarter than he had imagined.
"He sure came quickly."
Qi Yuan looked at the confused girl and asked, "I still don't know your name."
The girl quickly recovered and said, "My name is Yi Xiao Shuang. You can call me Xiao Shuang!"
"Tell him that I'll be there soon." Qi Yuan said casually.
Since Xu Kui had sent someone to invite him, it was already too late for him to evade. Although the buffs from two Tier 1 abilities had already surpassed the majority of the Wilderness Hunters in Blackstone Town, if he wanted to go against local tyrants like Xu Kui and Si Tu, his strength was still somewhat lacking.
Yi Xiao Shuang nodded as she walked towards the door. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
She had finally escaped!
