Chapter 128 Ambush [45]

As time passed, the Crown Prince's two personal guards arrived with humans to join them, but after a long half-hour wait, no one came.

The entire forest was eerily quiet, without even a whisper of wind. The air was incredibly heavy, as if it had been frozen in place by some unseen force, no longer moving.

The middle-aged man continued casting spells, his head covered in sweat, his brows furrowed, and his expression somewhat tense.

The eldest prince couldn't help but ask, "What have you discovered?"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and said, "Your Highness, I can't find the masked human. I can only see the corpses of the sea creatures. So far, there are at least 23 sea creature corpses. The humans who were with them are either dead or unconscious. No living people have been found."

The eldest prince raised an eyebrow.

The merfolk are not united.

The thirteen golden families are rife with internal conflicts and have ties with the royal family. Infighting among the younger generation is common, and climbing the tower is a good place to settle personal scores.

Every year during the challenges, many sea creatures die at the hands of their own kind. As long as they do things cleanly and leave no evidence, they won't be held accountable once they leave.

Even so, but...

Too many people died.

In normal circumstances, in this type of game, everyone will fire signal flares and gather in family units. There may be friction during this process, and it is normal for one or two people to die.

"careful!"

The merman knight suddenly roared and raised his shield to block the prince.

when!
With a loud bang, the incoming bullet was deflected, and the merman knight staggered back several steps, barely managing to stop after crashing into the eldest prince.

The crisp sound of gunfire came from afar.

Another merman knight immediately rushed out, leaping quickly through the bushes to get close to the firing position.

As the merman knight approached, he spotted a human dressed in black, wearing a mask, and holding a large sniper rifle. When they were about 100 meters apart, the human turned the gun around and fired at him.

As a fifth-stage evolved form, the Merman Knight's strength was suppressed, but his combat experience remained. His reaction was extremely fast. He raised his spear and, while moving at high speed, accurately hit the underside of the bullet, deflecting it. He only paused slightly before continuing to accelerate forward.

The human jumped back and disappeared.

It completely disappeared from its perception.

The merman knight leaped onto a tree branch, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. He immediately spotted humans fleeing with guns a few hundred meters away.

"Hmph, you two-legged fish! Where do you think you're going?!"

It snorted coldly and immediately gave chase.

The two walked through the dense jungle.

Mo Yu deliberately slowed down, keeping the merman knight behind him in the wings. His physical abilities had now surpassed those of his opponent.

His purpose in pulling the other person away was to avoid the gaze from high above; he could feel something hovering in the sky staring at him.

This seems like some kind of ability.

Once the other person's gaze falls on him, his soul perception will give him a strong warning.

Leading the merman knight further and further away, traversing the complex jungle environment, they finally passed through the center of a broken tree stump and fell into an underground cave.

This is an underground bunker, very large in area, with several holes overhead that let in very faint light.

After Mo Yu landed, the merman knight followed her in.

The merman knight, spear in hand, assumed an attack stance and sneered, "Two-legged fish, who ordered you to assassinate the Crown Prince?"

"Haven't seen me for over half a month, don't you recognize me?" Mo Yu asked back.

The merman knight bared his teeth and asked, "Who are you?"

Mo Yu took off his mask and said, "I still remember the punch you threw at me back then."

Upon seeing Mo Yu's face clearly, the merman knight's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You're not dead!?"

Mo Yu replied, "I am dead. Now I am a vengeful spirit, here to seek revenge."

"Playing tricks! You're asking for death! Raging Mermaid Waves!"

Enraged, the merman knight leaped into the air, unleashing a vortex of magical energy around himself. His speed increased dramatically, and his spear emitted a deep blue light, transforming into hundreds of attacks that struck Mo Yu from different angles.

This is clearly a magic skill.

Boom boom boom!
The ground shook violently, and dust billowed everywhere.

It was clear that this move had been honed through countless trials; the spear formed from condensed magic was incredibly powerful, causing the entire cave to hum and countless specks of dust to fall.

Mo Yu took the hit head-on, then rewound and released his mirror image, letting the mirror image absorb all the damage for him. He took advantage of the chaos to retreat, circled around to the merman knight's flank, broke through the smoke, and thrust his spear forward.

when!
The merman knight reacted quickly, blocking his attack in an instant, but it clearly underestimated Mo Yu's power. What appeared to be a casual strike contained terrifying power.

The merman knight stumbled from the impact.

Mo Yu pressed his advantage, thrusting repeatedly with his spear.

The merman knight roared, and a vortex of magic erupted from his body, causing his speed and power to surge.

In the span of two breaths, they exchanged hundreds of blows.

Mo Yu sighed inwardly, "As expected of a fifth-stage evolutionary body, although its strength is suppressed, its combat techniques, experience, and skills are still intact."

During the clash, the other side rarely revealed any weaknesses.

This is also related to the playing style.

The opponent intended to attack, but had many weaknesses. After being hit twice, it immediately became docile, focusing on defense and using offense as a secondary tactic.

This guy is like a turtle.

Unable to find any flaws, the only option is to suppress them.

After unleashing a series of combos, Mo Yu seamlessly followed up with Zhan E, a triple slash of his spear.

As if sensing danger, the merman knight concentrated his magic in front of him for protection and quickly retreated.

Puff puff.

A faint sound appeared.

The merman knight's protective magic was slashed open, and visible cuts appeared on his armor, with blood spurting out.

Upon seeing its injuries, it exclaimed in disbelief, "You're actually that strong?"

Mo Yu laughed and said, "Warm-up over. Are you ready to die?"

Open the monster encyclopedia to see its natural enemy effects.

The intent to kill was locked on.

The merman knight's expression changed drastically. He retreated rapidly, reaching into his robes to retrieve a small medicine bottle, attempting to swallow the medicine.

Mo Yu wouldn't give it a chance.

rewind.

When the opponent launched their skill attack, he released a mirror image to fight them, while his main body opened a folding door, took out a sniper rifle, and waited.

When the other person took out the medicine bottle, he aimed and fired a shot.

The shot came suddenly and at close range. The merman knight's attention was focused on the mirror image and suppressed by the natural enemy effect, so he couldn't react at all. The bottle was shattered, and the bullet pierced its chest, breaking its armor.

Three mirror images appeared from different directions and launched a joint attack to slay evil.

Sword beams intertwined.

The merman knight was torn to pieces...

the other side.

The eldest prince asked, "Have you found them?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No."

He panicked slightly. As a reconnaissance-type Awakened, he had lost his target. The situation was strange; the Royal Guard Knight had disappeared halfway there. His view followed the human, but the person suddenly vanished as he walked.

He completely lost track of the two men, and he knew he had probably been tricked, but he dared not say so.

The other two humans also lowered their heads and remained silent.

Suddenly, another merman knight pointed in a direction and shouted, "It's back!"

The group looked in that direction.

The merman knights who went to track them stood a hundred meters away, waving continuously at them.

After calling it several times, it still didn't respond.

The group sensed something was wrong and, upon closer inspection, discovered that the merman knight was dead, his eyes wide open, a sinister smile on his face, his body cut into several pieces but forcibly pieced back together.

On the stone beside them, three words were written in blood: "Do you like it?"

Upon seeing this line of text, the eldest prince's pupils constricted sharply; he recalled the man who had self-destructed his helmet.
