Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Ahua was instantly jolted awake by the sudden slash and instinctively reversed the direction of the wind that was enhancing him.

In an instant, it leaped into the air in a bizarre manner, twisted its body, and narrowly avoided the attack.

The black blade grazed its body, slashing into the ground and leaving a deep trench.

The cross-section is smooth, and the soil layer under the road surface can be clearly seen.

"Who?!"

It instantly flew into a rage.

I was so close to that little cake when someone stopped me.

Moreover, the smell of that attack... wasn't from the Awakened Ones, but from those "spoiled foods"!

What it hates most is "spoiled food"!

Every time it smelled a similar scent, it was reminded of the days when it had to hide like a rat in the city.

Now that the other party dared to attack it first, its hatred instantly reached its peak.

Beside him, Number Eight sheathed his katana and disappeared into the mist.

His goal was clear: Jiang Mian.

All I had to do was feed her the inhibitor, but then a Tier 3 Calamity appeared, and it was a mimic with a decent sequence!

There had been rumors circulating in the city, but no one expected to actually run into them here, and they even seemed to be eyeing their mission target.

Number Eight was a little confused. Shen Qiuyu, on the other side, was higher than Jiang Mian in both rank and grade, and was obviously a more "nutritious" target.

If it goes after Shen Qiuyu, it can reduce some of the pressure on them.

But why does this imitator keep chasing after Jiang Mian?

That's so weird!

Number Eight couldn't quite understand it, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

All the preparations were focused on Squad Five.

If they temporarily change targets, he and Number Four will have to challenge a full elite squad together.

Moreover, Shen Qiuyu, a second-tier [Heavenly Fire] cultivator, has already activated the Flame Feather Robe skill, making her extremely dangerous, and her own strength is not weak either.

Getting her to obediently drink the potion will be much more difficult.

Although the Imitator is a high-level sequence with unpredictable skills, its greatest strength is still its disguise, and it is not invincible.

He remembered that the imitator's first-tier ability was face-changing, and at the second tier, it would gain mental resonance, which could be used to read parts of the target's memory and also to launch mental attacks.

Upon reaching the third tier, one gains the ability to replicate, but the number of times is limited and depends on the level of the Awakened One being devoured.

Number Eight clearly saw the two abilities the opponent displayed, corresponding to defense and speed respectively.

The third, unrevealed ability, as long as it's not too overpowered, should be manageable.

He himself is a Sequence 84 [Shadow], whose attributes are enhanced when fighting in dark environments, and he also has a certain night vision ability.

Therefore, the surrounding black mist provides the best cover, and with the three-star alien weapon "Shadow Slash" in his hand, his offensive capabilities will not be lacking.

Number Eight held his breath and suppressed his distracting thoughts.

The Chaos Veil has a limited duration; even considering the interference from the previous Mist Tide, it only lasts about ten minutes.

So he set himself a five-minute time limit.

If something unexpected happens and the mission fails, Number Four will abandon monitoring the situation on the other side and enter the field directly.

Now it seems a bit urgent.

Damn it.

He cursed under his breath and activated his ability.

A dark power surged from his palm and flowed into the Shadow Slash he held in his right hand.

The blade of the katana emitted a deep black light, which gradually gathered.

However, the imitator was smarter this time.

After a moment of silence, it suddenly let out a sharp shriek, and the ear-piercing sound waves carrying a mental attack immediately echoed around.

Number Eight felt a mental shock and inadvertently revealed a trace of his aura.

Ahua suddenly turned his head, a creepy smile on his face.

"Found you..."

……

Not far away, Jiang Mian's lips curled into a slight smile.

As expected, the two sides got into a fierce fight after they met, and I just had to watch the show.

When the time is right, I will briefly leave the group and reap the rewards.

Although Chen Gong and Li Tian were both at the third rank, she arrived suddenly and had made preparations in advance, so she was naturally confident of victory.

Number Four and Number Eight clearly made ample preparations before coming out, possessing a large number of three-star alien remains.

It would be troublesome if there was anything inside that could affect her.

We should still be cautious.

So instead of going straight for A, it's better to let them "fight each other"... no, not exactly fighting each other, since they're not on the same side.

However, I still have some minor problems to solve.

From the other end of the black mist, in the direction from which the mist tide had just swept in, came a series of rustling footsteps.

Just as Li Huan turned his head, a long tongue with barbs pierced through the fog and aimed straight for his face!

"River……"

He raised his sword to parry, and was about to warn Jiang Mian when he realized that there was no one beside him.

Without much thought, Li Huan slashed at the long tongue with his sword.

"Sizzle!"

The tongue's outer layer was exceptionally tough, and it wasn't severed directly, leaving only thin strands of skin connecting it to the flesh before quickly retracting.

"The one who followed the sound?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing the calamity lurking in the mist based on the attack characteristics.

Sequence 332 isn't very strong; it's quite easy to deal with if there aren't many of them.

However, just as this thought arose, a suppressed roar came from not far away.

Then... the deathly silence of the mist seemed to come alive, with countless roars rising and falling, as if in response to it.

Li Huan's heart sank.

Judging from the noise, there are at least dozens of them.

Although this thing is near the bottom tier, because it's on the [Nightmare] path, it doesn't act purely on instinct; it even exhibits some basic teamwork...

Jiang Mian had retreated several steps to Li Huan's side and behind, without saying a word, clearly aware of the nature of this calamity.

The surrounding airflow began to accelerate and rotate, forming a thin wall of wind around the two of them.

She knew that the group of Listeners arrived after the group of Runners, and the first to encounter them were the captain and his men.

Having temporarily lost his sights, he wandered around and happened to be attracted to the two people.

This is exactly what we can do.

In Li Huan's eyes, although she had been in the team for a while and had a decent record, she was not good at close combat.

With long-range weapons unusable, combat effectiveness will certainly be greatly reduced.

The black mist already obscured vision, and with a group of Listeners and that third-tier Calamity nearby... the situation didn't look optimistic at all.

Before the roars had even subsided, several twisted white humanoid figures emerged from the nearby mist.

They only have the lower half of their heads, unusually large ears, and long red tongues sticking out, but their limbs are similar to those of normal humans, making them look particularly bizarre.

"Stay close to me!"

Li Huan gritted his teeth, and the red color around him became even more intense, with the red patterns on the sword seemingly emitting a faint red glow.

Now that we've been locked down, there's no need to remain silent.

He swung his sword at the nearest Sound Followers, the blade drawing a scarlet arc in mid-air.

Li Huan attempted to clear a safe area first, but there were simply too many people following the sound.

As soon as the ones in front arrived, the ones behind swarmed in, appearing much faster than he could clear them!

The wind field that Jiangmian hastily unleashed was of relatively low intensity, and could only temporarily slow down their speed.

To create a relatively strong and aggressive wind pressure vortex, more time is needed to build up power.

As is well known, low-level [Elemental] Awakeners generally have a pre-cast animation when releasing skills, especially area-of-effect abilities like [Eye of the Storm].

If it's a class like [Skyfire] that excels at close-range burst damage, this problem would be much smaller.

As time went by, more and more sound trackers broke through the wind field and came closer.

It has an extremely high density, which is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Moreover, among them, there were several tall figures, clearly mixed with an even stronger calamity.

Li Huan was caught off guard and his left arm was entangled by several long tongues.

After he struggled to cut and break free, the surrounding wind suddenly became turbulent, and then countless tiny wind blades burst forth.

After a moment of chaos, Li Huan turned around sharply and saw only a dense mass of the remains of those who followed the sound.

Jiang Mian...

What about people? !
