Dream Travel

Chapter 229 Potential Competitors?
"Can we hit it?" Bai Mu asked the pink-haired girl beside him. The target had been lured out, but this target seemed overly cautious.

“Of course not.” Mine stared at the enemy’s location; she also wanted to kill the target with a single shot from this distance.

But this was just wishful thinking. Dr. Fashion wasn't completely ignorant of them, so he didn't give her a chance to attack.

"Then let him take the initiative; you'd better be in a sorry state."

To attract a target, you simply need to use what the target cares about most, and now the target already has what they care about most.

The raiders began to move out, and Luciela on the battlefield also began to cooperate with them.

Seemingly threatened by the army's artillery fire, they began to retreat to a distance, no longer appearing to be attracted by the canteen in the capital.

"She's trying to escape." Dr. Fashion noticed this astutely; he was certainly unwilling to let Lucy and Ayla run away so easily.

He immediately issued a new order, instructing the army commander to take action against the night raiders, while he himself led the modified secret force in pursuit.

Lucy Ella can't escape; he has cyborgs with specialized senses of smell who are dedicated to tracking targets.

As for the strength Lucy Ayla displayed, he had developed inhibitors, plus certain modified biological agents that could be used as disposable items, which was enough to defeat her.

At least Dr. Fashion has that kind of confidence.

The raiders were intercepted by the army, which did not surprise them.

This is also a step in the plan.

Deep in the mountains, Lucyella glanced at the cyborgs that were chasing after her. She deliberately slowed down and left trails, so these cyborgs couldn't possibly lose her.

"Hehehe, a perfect individual. Don't try to run away, come back with me."

A slightly perverted voice came through, and Lucy Ella, looking at Dr. Fashion who thought she had the victory in her grasp, lost all her rage.

"Alright, you should die now."

Lucyella spoke, and Dr. Fashion paused slightly, swallowing back what he wanted to say. He looked at Lucyella with a hint of hesitation.

Having mutated to this state, how could it still speak? This greatly surprised him, and subsequently aroused an even stronger desire to study it.

He became increasingly curious about what kind of individuals these were.

With a snap of his fingers, the bodies of the cyborgs around him underwent violent mutations.

Originally over two meters tall, its body expanded several times in a short period of time. Although it was not as large as Lucy Aila's awakened form, it seemed to have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

Although Lucy Ella's words made him slightly uneasy, the night raiders had all been intercepted, so who could threaten him at this point?
"Grab her. If you can't catch her, dead is fine too," Dr. Fashion ordered.

The highly mutated, modified creatures swiftly pounced on Luciela.

Luciela was extremely dismissive of the attacks by these creatures; they looked intimidating, but in reality, they couldn't even defeat some greatswords.

You think you can deal with an awakened person like her?
Her two tails swept across, sending the approaching modified creature flying, and the sharp mouths on her tails bit into the torn flesh.

The remaining modified creatures were wiped out in a very short time under Luciela's frenzied attacks.

In the place where she fought before, she displayed less than one-fifth of her combat power, causing Dr. Fashion to seriously underestimate Lucy Ella's true strength.

"Doctor, let's retreat immediately."

"A bodybuilder next to Dr. Fashion nervously suggested."

"Retreat? We can't leave!" Dr. Fashion looked into Lucy Ella's eyes and knew what kind of attack he would face if he exposed his back to the big cat.

Lucy Ella's displayed strength made him realize that he had been tricked, but the problem was, how could he miss such a perfect creature that had jumped out?
The Empire has suffered a severe loss of Imperial Arms users; there are hardly any usable ones left. He is the only one in the Imperial Capital who can truly shoulder the burden.

Otherwise, why would he have rushed over here in such a hurry?
If Black Eyes and his group had acted more cautiously and hadn't been ambushed by the Night Raid organization, they could have been mobilized at this point.

But they lost everything in one go, what can we do?
Since there was no way to escape, Dr. Fashion simply injected a drug into his body.

If he couldn't run away, he wouldn't run away; he would personally take down the mutated individual.

After being injected with the drug, Dr. Fashion's body rapidly swelled up, and he swept up the modified soldiers around him and ate them as snacks.

After all, this change in size would cause him to experience intense hunger, and the modified creatures he brought were not only for hunting but also for storing food.

With ample food, Dr. Fashion quickly expanded to a size exceeding that of Lucy Ella.

"Hahahaha, the power of a super dangerous species, combined with my super intelligence, who could possibly stand against such power?!"

Feeling the immense power, Dr. Fashion roared with excitement; the unprecedented experience made his brain go wild with excitement.

"This thing is even more powerful than the power of the Nine Dragons," Bai Mu muttered to himself, looking at the Dr. Fashion building that had swelled up to the size of a building.

Although the other party replenished some biomass, which allowed it to expand to this extent, expanding to this extent is still quite unreasonable.

Those who are pursuing cultivation and are eager to ascend to immortality, who wouldn't be tempted after seeing this thing?

Even if an ordinary person were to unleash the full power of the Nine Dragons, they would only become a beast-like being. The one in front of us has already rushed into the scene of the giant next door.

"Aren't you going to help?"

Black Eyes stood behind White Curtain. Due to her identity, she couldn't directly appear on the front lines, so she was assigned here. Although she had assured Red Eyes that she wouldn't betray White Curtain, she always stayed behind him when they were working together.

"I'm already helping." Bai Mu weighed his weapon case in his hand, his demonic energy already providing remote support to Lucyella.

Hair grew on Lucy's body, but Dr. Fashion, whose power had inflated, paid no attention to it, still immersed in his brief state of invincibility.

At this point, he even dared to punch Esdeath twice if she came.

Until Lucyella rushed over.

She slapped Dr. Fashion's dangerously mutated arm with her claw. The chitinous carapace that grew on the arm blocked the attack, but it also left clear crack marks.

"Huh?" Dr. Fashion, who had been pushed back a distance, was starting to come to his senses.

He stared blankly at the scene; this situation was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

He has the advantage in terms of size, and should be stronger, in addition to his super intelligence.

He should be the one quickly subduing this ferocious kitten in front of him, not the one looking like he's about to be subdued...

However, once the battle began, it was clear that he was being toyed with, which caused Dr. Fashion's mind to gradually cool down, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

However, the more he thought about it, the more passive he became in battle.

In a very short time, he was whipped by Lucy Ella's two tails, screaming in pain. His powerful body was covered in bloody welts, caused by the dense bites from her sharp mouths.

After analyzing the situation using his 'super intelligence,' Dr. Fashion realized that his 'super intelligence' and his current superpowers did not work well together.

There was no issue of mutual enhancement between the two; on the contrary, he was beaten badly because he overthought things.

If his current body weren't thick enough, he would have been beaten to death by Luciela.

Therefore, outside of combat, Dr. Fashion's super intelligence only does one thing... it's all over!
The modified soldiers he brought were either killed or eaten by him. He couldn't beat Luciela in a fight, and he couldn't outrun her either.

"Wait, we can reconcile. You must be very concerned about your situation, right? I can help you..."

"At this moment? What nonsense are you talking about?" Luciela felt that this scientist was a bit off.

At first, he seemed confident of victory and could manipulate her at will, but now he's begging for mercy?

What were you doing just now?

"I think we can agree to his proposal."

Beatrice whispered to the white screen, coveting the knowledge Dr. Fashion possessed.

Putting everything else aside, she really wanted the technology that could allow organisms to mutate into this kind of individual in a short period of time.

As before, with such technology at her disposal, when Bai Mu was chasing her, she could have easily squeezed out a dozen or more identical individuals, or even stronger ones.

However, there is no if.

“I think it would be better to collect fragments of his soul.”

"..." Beatrice's eyes darted around, and she changed her mind, saying, "Actually, finding his research institute would also be fine."

If given the chance, she would like to persuade Bai Mu to change his mind and capture him alive, but Bai Mu wants to collect the other party's mental fragments, so she thinks Dr. Fashion can just die.

Ideally, she should be the only alchemist in his household; any more than that would be a competitor.

"Based on my observation, he is definitely a Nan Tong!"

"? You know this too?" Bai Mu thought this was a desperate measure by Beatrice to eliminate her competitors.

“I once worked for a boss, and that person was one of them.”

"How could these be related?"

Beatrice nodded matter-of-factly: "Because it looks so similar!"

While the two were talking, Lucyella had already slammed Dr. Fashion's dangerous body to the ground.

With a single claw, it ripped out the part of the other's body that was still barely human, and crushed it cleanly.

Seeing this, Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief and her goodwill towards Lucyella increased significantly. Putting aside everything else, such a swift and decisive killing eliminated a potential rival for her.

The weapon crate in the white curtain can collect spirit fragments, but the crate has a limited collection range and is difficult to use if the distance is too far.

but……

Seeing the unmoved white curtain, Atrist realized that the white curtain's words were just talk, and he had no intention of collecting the other party's mental fragments.

"You're not interested in him?"

Since Bai Mu didn't seem to have many thoughts about it, Beatrice became more concerned.

"I'm not Nan Tong..."
