"how come?"
Rita was also stunned; her ability hadn't given any warning... the enemy had completely deceived their senses.
What kind of elusive ability is that?
popping...
After a brief exchange of blows, the man nimbly created distance and slowly retreated, preparing to disappear into the darkness, a playful smile on his face: "Trying to kill me?"
Provocation, blatant provocation!
This person is extremely strong; his close-combat skills are enough to keep me at bay without leaving any openings, which speaks volumes.
Most importantly, the other party's abilities...
It's not about disguise or concealment; it's more akin to 'assimilation'.
It's important to know that humans experience a dulling of perception in familiar environments or atmospheres... a phenomenon known as "blindness." For example, sometimes when we're at home, we can't see the things we're looking for even though they're right in front of us.
Therefore, even with Rita's abilities, it's useless.
This assimilation, in some respects, is not just strong...
In an instant, Long made an analysis in her mind.
This person seemed very familiar with them... clearly knowing some of the team's situation, but they had only just entered the restricted area and the two sides had never made contact before.
The only possibility is that someone on the other side used some kind of ability to leave some kind of surveillance mark on those Nen users outside the restricted area.
Or perhaps they planted informants.
Meticulous and terrifying!
This indicates that the other party anticipated that the Soli Group would hire some external helpers and made preparations in advance.
Oboro's squad has been exposed.
“However, our infiltration route was predetermined and unknown to outsiders… Moreover, the restricted area is quite large, so it won’t be easy to find us in such a short time… Someone within the Sori Group has already been sabotaged!” Long realized.
At this moment, the man's figure was already half-covered by the night, about to disappear completely from his sight.
Given the other party's abilities, once they are out of sight, even for Oboro, finding them again would be unlikely...
Get off the horse.
It's obvious that the other side intentionally targeted them here.
Is he deliberately trying to provoke me... a diversionary tactic?
Lure or distract yourself, and then... there are companions nearby. As soon as you leave, the hidden enemies will appear and kill the remaining five people.
The strength of Menqi and the others is significantly inferior to their own... This fact has already been realized by the other side.
"Not so great... You can only protect them for a while. I'll be watching you from the shadows... If you let your guard down even a little, I'll kill your team members."
The man gave a cold laugh.
This is putting pressure on Long, mental pressure.
This will restrict the actions of Oboro and his team.
At the same time, it was also further provoking Oboro, making him attack him.
"Although I knew it was a trap... your plan succeeded!" Long glanced at the surrounding terrain but couldn't sense another, or even several, enemy hiding places.
He suddenly smiled at the man.
Immediately, his figure shot out
They rushed out and darted towards it.
"Hahahaha... You don't even care about the lives of your own teammates? You're a very unqualified leader of this team..." the man mocked triumphantly.
Behind Oboro, Anthony and the others had already calmed down.
The other side has sent their captain away... They are very likely to be in danger.
However, the five did not stop Oboro, because they understood their captain…
What's terrifying about this man isn't just his strength, but also his intellect.
His actions and responses must be the optimal solution.
"careful!"
Fant, a member of the Enhancement class, reminded his teammates and stepped in front of them.
Menqi now had several kitchen knives in her hands...
The five men assumed a defensive stance.
They have spotted the enemy.
A bald, fat man with a long black braid and many nose hairs sticking out of his nostrils sprang up from one direction after Long broke away from the group. Seeing the five people's tense expressions, he did not make a move, but his eyes were full of mockery.
Because... apart from Oboro who needs to be wary, the remaining five people are too weak.
Have you ever played checkers?
The fat man chuckled.
These words startled Fant and the others.
Suddenly, a burst of light rose from the ground beneath their feet.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in an unfamiliar environment.
"Hey! Our order has arrived, that was fast..."
Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out.
Menqi looked in the direction of the sound and his heart tightened. There were four powerful Nen users looking at them with a mocking expression.
The planning and arrangements for this ambush were incredibly meticulous!
They were completely unaware...
It seems that the route they took had been pre-programmed by the fat man's abilities... The timing of the sneak attack was precise. While it appeared to be aimed at reducing their numbers, its real purpose was to keep the team stationary.
This is the level a mature, strong team should possess.
Compared to those Nen users outside the restricted area, who were already considered quite strong by the group, they were even more outstanding.
112. Reciprocity
"This place isn't far from where we were just now!"
Rita quickly crouched down and touched the grass beneath her feet with her ability.
"Hmph! Forget about your captain. Even if he's not far away, it won't take him long to kill you. Soon... by the time he finds this place, he'll only be able to collect your corpses!"
A man with scars on his face smiled.
Immediately afterwards, they rushed to the scene with lightning speed.
Menqi reacted and swung her blade... but a whip suddenly lashed out from the ground, instantly wrapping around her waist. With a strong pull, Menqi's feet left the ground and she was slammed into a tree trunk.
Fant unleashed his psychic power with both hands and exchanged a punch with the charging man.
His legs were shoved into the mud, and he was half a head shorter, clearly having lost the contest.
His head was pinned down by the latter's fist, and his arm bent... However, Fant's expression remained calm, and his eyes were unyielding.
“Still a tough nut to crack… It’s a pity, with your level, you shouldn’t be here.” The man with the scar on his face, who was also an Enhancer, finished speaking and, despite Fant’s fist, suddenly exerted force and continued to swing.
Boom!
Dirt flew everywhere, and Fant spit out blood as he was thrown into a deep crater in the ground.
Meanwhile, Menchi had already cut the whip rope binding him with his knife, wanting to rush to help Fant.
However, a dense barrage of whip shadows lashed out in front of her, resembling a swarm of snakes, completely blocking and sealing off her space... Menqi kept dodging and raising her hand to cut down the extended whips, but the whips instantly grew longer again... as if they could automatically regenerate.
popping...
The sharp whip strikes the nearby tree trunks, not only tearing off the bark but also scattering wood chips and breaking the trunks.
Finally, Menqi rolled over and landed in an open space, looking up at the long-haired woman standing on a tree branch in mid-air.
"Let the men play... You and I are both women, we're more suited to be together." The woman in the tree said, then leaped down and landed on the ground, cracking her whip and smiling.
"Can we hold out until he gets back?"
Menqi held the knife to his side, feeling tense.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the opposing team only has four members. Rita and Gebwich are not yet at the level to fight head-on. Their abilities are mainly focused on support... The two of them are much stronger than the average Nen user, and they would not be weak in a real fight.
But the problem is... the enemy they're facing is too strong!
He's no ordinary person... Even Fant was knocked down with one punch and his life was in danger.
The woman in front of her... her immediate impression was that she was extremely dangerous!
On the other side, Fant was injured, and the scarred man took the opportunity to attack, throwing a punch at the seemingly immobile target... but unexpectedly, the middle-aged man, who was seriously injured, still had the strength to fight back. He stood up instantly and punched Fant in the cheek.
Fant's telekinesis changed according to his emotions. His fist left a charred fist mark on the scarred man's face, which seemed to only cause the man's jaw and cheekbone to be slightly dislocated, and that was it.
Fant's pupils contracted.
The strength gap is too big!
Before he could react, he was kicked in the stomach and sent flying like an arrow.
The scarred man moved his mouth slightly, his eyes fixed on a pale-faced man and woman to the side.
It was Rita and Gebwich.
These two look like
Lacking experience, his recitation skills are alright... but in this kind of life-or-death battle, the most important thing is his willpower.
Beside the two men, Anthony was clutching his stomach, kneeling at the feet of a black man, his eyes wide open, his expression one of unbearable pain.
Rita used her ability, and the surrounding grass instantly sprang up... but the grass was too fragile and could not stop the scarred man's steps at all; it was easily torn apart.
"Should we kill them all? Or should we keep one... as a hostage? To threaten him when he arrives?" the black man asked.
