Chapter 341: Chapter 116: The Peculiar Guard
Four Guards rapidly approached Mu Fan over the rough terrain because, just moments ago, their perception systems had detected that this enemy had eliminated a Tiger Worm, thereby instantly elevating Mu Fan’s threat status to the highest level.
The combination of four pure Guards already proved the Zeg Clan’s considerable regard for Mu Fan.
Now the battlefield in the jungle was divided into a large and a small one–the large battlefield was beneath them, where the Expeditionary Army and Luo Jianjin and others were engaged in fierce combat, while the small one was here, where Mu Fan was being intercepted by the Zeg forces.
Although Luo Jianjin had told Mu Fan to be cautious and meant for him to join the team, Mu Fan’s intuition told him something was amiss upon seeing that one of the Guards had suddenly run away halfway through.
However, if he wanted to chase the fleeing Guard now, he would have to confront the four Zeg who were charging at him.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Mu Fan’s actions were swift and unhesitant. From a hundred meters away in the treetops, Tracy could clearly see Mu Fan’s charging figure through her sniper scope.
His fluid movements, like those of a nimble cheetah, secretly cheered her up.
Little brother, you’d better not mess this up; your sister will keep an eye out for you.
Her heart still held concerns for Mu Fan, even though the kid was brimming with confidence about his close combat skills.
Mu Fan knew nothing of this; his eyes were locked on the four Guards.
Practice had just proven that the laser spear was highly effective at damaging the Zeg beetles’ armour.
Now that it was time for the four to attack at once, the most suitable combat skill was already clear as day.
Redemption Second Stage–Thousand Fierce Rain!
Of course, it wasn’t the actual Thousand Fierce Rain but rather the compressed version, Hundred Fierce Rain. The alloy spear spun in his palm, and then Mu Fan grasped it firmly.
In that moment, his arm, along with the laser spear, turned into a blurred afterimage.
From the mysterious Fighter came the inheritance combat skill, stunning the viewers every time with its dramatic visual effects.
This time, it was not the black droplets formed by one end of the Short Stick but rather the faint blue ion beams that created the blue Light Rain.
Tracy, positioned above, saw the entire scene, dazzlingly clear–the sudden appearance of the hundreds of blue droplets was mesmerizing.
Wait, was this a technique used by Mu Fan?
It was then that Tracy realized it.
The four Guards saw the enemy closing in and lunged from different angles.
But the hundreds of blue light shadows hovering in front of Mu Fan lingered only momentarily before sweeping across like a vertical rain curtain.
“These Zeg creatures don’t see the same way humans do; visual deception is hardly effective against them,” Tracy murmured from the tree, surprised and deciding to snipe in aid of Mu Fan.
However, after the blue Light Rain and the four Zeg intersected…
The densely packed holes that appeared on the Guards’ armour, and the green liquid that sprayed out like burst water balloons scattering through the air, left her face filled with astonishment.
That terrifying scene from the exchange match with Dawn Academy resurfaced, though Tracy now realized that it had not been accompanied by such spectacular visual effects last time.
And each beam of that Light Rain was a genuine stabbing attack?
With a buzz, the blue Light Spear retracted back into the Short Stick, returning to its previous unremarkable appearance.
The cutting and piercing effects of the ion beam were unexpectedly successful against the Zeg; their resistance to high temperatures obviously was not as effective as their defense against bullets.
The beetles’ armour boasted impressive elasticity and hardness, but due to the biological structure, they struggled to effectively defend against ion beams.
This formed a snap profile of the Zeg Clan in Mu Fan’s mind.
Mu Fan didn’t linger, scaling and leaping away from the combat zone.
“Mu Fan, where are you going?”
“A guard has escaped, I’m going to check it out, I’ll be back soon.”
Another small squad of Beetles began to attack from behind Mu Fan, but Tracy, who couldn’t afford the distraction, blew them up and then could no longer see a trace of Mu Fan through her scope, only a blip on the electronic map showed Mu Fan moving quickly toward the western periphery.
Mu Fan was indeed chasing after the guard. The slight delay had allowed the guard to get 200 meters away, so he was rapidly pursuing.
The guard’s light brown shell blended in with the dry leaves on the jungle floor. If it weren’t for Mu Fan’s exceptional vision, he might not have been able to spot the guard at all.
No, the guard was moving too fast. If he continued at this pace, Mu Fan was likely to lose sight of him after he crossed over the ridge.
He glanced at the trees ahead. An unnamed giant tree had toppled over another, forming a slope right in front of him.
After another glance at the guard, about to escape from sight, Mu Fan’s legs pushed off powerfully. He took a few quick steps and leaped, running straight up the giant fallen tree.
Buzz, the Light Spear was activated again, the muscles in his arms bulging under the Combat Uniform, as he gripped the laser long spear and leaned back.
When he reached the top of the giant tree, he leapt into the air, soaring almost ten meters high, his eyes locked firmly on the frantically fleeing guard.
His gaze sharpened and he hurled the laser long spear from his hand, without a whisper of sound, a blue streak shot straight from Mu Fan’s hand.
Unhindered, the ion beam spear pierced through the shell, the alloy shaft continuing to penetrate through the burnt hole into the body, pinning the guard to the ground.
Its limbs twitched, but the placement of Mu Fan’s throw seemed to have damaged its motor nerves; the guard no longer had the strength to stand.
As Mu Fan approached, he could hear the shrill squeaking sound, the distinctive high-frequency waves painfully troubling his eardrums.
Two meters away, Mu Fan prepared to pull out the laser long spear and finish off the guard for good.
But just as he was about to step forward, he felt his hairs stand on end–a sudden surge of danger made his heart race.
Without any hesitation, Mu Fan completely trusted his combat instincts at that moment. The-encompassing sense of danger made his body seemingly defy the laws of physics. Although his body was still moving forward due to inertia and gravity, he changed direction midair into a backflip leap off one leg!
In that instant, his leg muscles exerted full force, and Mu Fan flashed more than 10 meters away from the guard in less than a second.
Retreating from his original position, Mu Fan finally saw a large splash of green liquid silently engulfing the spot where he had just stood, along with the guard.
Hissing…
Bubbles popped up, and the fallen leaves and rocks on the ground began to disintegrate, the guard’s shell was also corroded with several large holes, then slowly dissolved, and finally, his laser long spear also corroded into water after being tainted by the green liquid, its energy circuits destroyed, and the blue light of the spear vanished.
A vast area of the ground was bubbling, having turned completely green.
All this happened within two seconds.
Mu Fan’s heart raced. If he had gone to retrieve the laser long spear, he would have been reduced to nothing as well. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
But where did this green liquid come from?
The sense of crisis still present, Mu Fan’s gaze was fixed on the terrain ahead, gunfire from the battlefield nearby still filled his ears, and the overgrown jungle seemed to be fraught with dangers everywhere.
Then, another patch of green liquid appeared, almost indistinguishable from a large green broadleaf.
However, Mu Fan had already taken in all the scenery in front of him, and although the camouflage was exceptional, the moment the green appeared, Mu Fan’s eyes lit up.
