Only I can make them stronger

"Damn it, we've run into a tough guy." A member of Shadow Claw, who was controlling the artificial monster and watching the scene in the distance, saw this scene, widened his eyes, and quickly spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"How come they are so lucky? They just happened to choose a route where no one is around!" The accomplices on the other side also felt helpless.

Controlling these monsters is actually approaching the limit of their energy. If they were to distract themselves to chase the escaped guard members over there, it is very likely that the monsters here would riot.

"Calling Boss Velen, four prey are running towards the northwest mine!" In a hurry, one of the Shadow Claw members could only adjust the channel and ask for help from the team leader.

"Damn you bastard! How come people didn't react before we even started the all-round attack? And four of them escaped!"

"I'm sorry, Boss..."

"Leave that to me. You keep an eye on this side. Boss Dillven said that all the accompanying personnel must be killed. Don't leave any trouble for us!"

Viren on the other end of the intercom made a quick decision, and then the words from the receiver began to be accompanied by a strong sound of breaking wind.

"Roger that!"

…………

"Huh... don't stop! Keep going forward. There will be a mine about 200 meters to the left. Go in through the entrance. Don't give the enemy a chance to surround us!"

Xia Ye, who was half-carried on Leah's shoulders and running wildly, occasionally activated [True Insight] to patrol the surroundings, while frantically recalling the terrain of the mine that he had noticed before in his mind, doing the work of a commander.

The bodies of mine security guards and miners could be seen from time to time. Most of them had their stomachs ripped open and were thrown on the roadside like garbage.

This further proves that these artificial monsters are controlled by members of Shadow Claw and have a certain degree of organization and discipline.

Otherwise, if it fell into the wilderness, it would be impossible for such a complete corpse to exist.

"Why do you know so much about this, and... seem to have been prepared for it?"

Karen, who was leading in front, looked more relaxed, and even looked back at Xia Ye curiously.

"Do you believe me when I say we knew Shadow Claw was going to attack, so we made all the preparations in advance?"

"Of course I believe you! I think you are different from the others. You always seem to attract my attention. Do you think we may have known each other in our previous life?"

"So greasy..." Shana complained suddenly.

It turns out that such words always make people feel a little weird, whether they come from the mouth of a strange stranger or from a pretty girl with a delicate face.

"If you have anything in mind, you should express it immediately. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame to wait until you die in the wilderness with a lot of unspoken ideas?" In response to Shana's complaint, Karen just responded with a smile and turned around to continue running.

But at this moment, a strange chill surged in everyone's heart.

It's like being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"I feel like there's something!" Leah sniffed in disgust. "I smell something unpleasant and quite pungent."

"Someone is following us." Shana's expression also became cautious. She kept moving, but her body was slightly lowered, ready for battle.

Xia Ye immediately activated [True Insight] and looked around. Soon, he saw two people who were quite concerning.

A red energy body was approaching the four people at a very fast speed; and although the other dark blue energy body was not as fast as the former, it seemed to always keep in sync with their speed, and from the shape, it seemed to be turning its head and staring at this side.

"We are almost caught up..." This was basically within Xia Ye's expectations.

He even guessed that the ones who caught up with them were none other than the two team leaders of Shadow Claw's raid, second only to the squadron leader in chief command.

After all, some people have escaped from the encirclement. In order to avoid accidents, they will definitely want to end the battle quickly so that they can rush back to support the encirclement.

The Shadow Claw team this time is composed of one squadron leader, three team leaders, and nine ordinary members.

Apart from Enzo who had died at his hands, there were still two team leaders left. Naturally, the squadron leader would be responsible for the more important main venue, while the other two team leaders would be responsible for deploying most of the manpower and handling the relatively trivial and troublesome accompanying personnel.

These two team leaders were originally among the targets that Xia Ye was planning to eliminate.

His general plan was to cut off the squadron leader's hands and feet, and then launch a counter-attack at the venue.

However, he did not expect that the two team leaders would be so enthusiastic in sending their gifts, and he did not even need to take the initiative to find ways to lure them.

Probably the two team captains would never have thought that their information had been sold to Xia Ye by Enzo.

One is called Vilen, a fourth-level primary fighting domain alien who is good at high-speed combat. His currently known factor abilities are his first-level ability [Sudden Attack], second-level ability [Gas State], and third-level ability [Invisible Piercing]. As for the newly acquired fourth-level ability, even Enzo is not quite sure.

The other one is called Reils, a third-level mid-stream analysis domain alien. Compared with Velen's powerful combat power, he is better at personnel dispatch and information collection on the battlefield. Under the squadron leader Dillwin, he is more often responsible for intelligence and coordination-related work.

Its factor abilities are first-order [Long-range Vision], second-order [Miscellaneous Shielding], and third-order [Target Lock].

Leah and Shana already knew about the situation of these two people when they had a combat meeting with Xia Ye before, but now with the addition of new teammates, Xia Ye still gave a brief overview.

"Fuck, didn't you do too much research beforehand? You even know the abilities of the people they're going to send out?"

This information really shocked Karen a little.

Shadow Claw has many people and various tasks. Except for a few captains who basically do not change, the personnel allocation for each attack is relatively flexible, making it difficult to predict.

In other words, this guy named Xia Ye, who is a clerk at Qianshi Office in Shia City-State and who usually does not come into contact with high-risk missions, is very likely to have had quite close contact with Shadow Claws?

What is his background?

Karen found that she was really starting to become interested in the other person.

But now is obviously not the time to ask these questions, because -

A gust of wind blew past in front, and a figure slowly emerged from the dust.

Viren has caught up.

78. The Strength of the Fourth-Level Fighting Domain

Vilen was a very burly man, wearing only a tight black combat suit at this moment. On his bald head was a ferocious black claw tattooed quite arrogantly. He held a serrated steel knife in his hand, staring at the four people with cold and angry eyes. His bulging muscles and sturdy body gave off a full sense of oppression.

A circle of faint twisted air currents was surrounding his body. Xia Ye guessed that this was the effect of his second-level ability [State of Gale].

"Damn it, what a bunch of trash. They even let a few second- and third-level warriors escape..." He cursed in a low voice, as if he was talking to someone on the intercom.

"Those guys are used to following orders. This time, they were asked to lead their own beasts and take charge of a direction. It's normal that they don't have enough brains... Let's get rid of them quickly."

At this moment, the same voice came from behind the four people and from the intercom clipped on Weiren's collar -

Another person also took advantage of the short period of stalemate and rushed to the scene.

Xia Ye glanced back. The other person looked much thinner than Viren, with sickly pale skin. He was wearing only a relatively ordinary windproof suit. Apart from a uniquely shaped pistol hanging around his waist, he did not seem to be threatening at all.

But his gloomy and uncomfortable eyes, and the aura that makes one feel as if they are being stared at, undoubtedly show that he is the only Analysis Domain expert in the Shadow Claw attack force - Reiss.

"There are three of us and you only have one." Weiren twisted his wrist, making a crisp "click" sound, and slowly walked towards the four people, as if he didn't take Xia Ye and the others seriously at all.

"That man is not an alien. I can't see any rational aura, so he can't be considered one. You should deal with them all. I will control your monsters and make a quick decision."

After hearing this, Xia Ye discovered that some strange colors were slowly emerging from the distant corner.

Not only did the two team captains chase after them themselves, they also brought the artificial monsters they controlled!

This battle is the only tough one that he cannot avoid in his plan.

"Whatever." Villen approached Karen impatiently, raised the serrated knife and slashed at her neck casually.

Although his movement of raising his hand looked slow and clear, the serrated knife suddenly accelerated to the extreme when it reached mid-air, and instantly slashed at an extremely fast speed.

The common ability of the fighting domain, [Sudden Attack], can instantly provide super high acceleration and explosive power.

But Karen was not a rookie who would let him slaughter him at will. He blocked the opponent's attack with a fierce move of the hilt of the sword. At the same time, he twisted the sword to his side and swung it in a circle, cutting the opponent in half.

"The third level is so powerful?"

The opponent's resistance made Vilen raise his eyebrows, but soon he grinned fiercely and leaped back. At the same time, the air around him was obviously more distorted and his speed increased a lot.

Karen did not pursue, but held the giant sword across his back, staring at Viren in a vigilant posture.

But Xia Ye suddenly noticed that Karen's sword-holding hand seemed to be shaking a little.

He quickly turned on [True Insight] and found that the light around the blonde girl was much weaker than before at the door of the room. In comparison, it was like a sun before, but now it was just a light bulb.

"Is it a side effect of the explosion just now?"

"Viren, the blonde is very weak, kill her quickly." At this time, Reis's lazy voice came from behind.

Even Xia Ye could notice Karen's physical condition, and of course it couldn't be hidden from Reils in the analysis domain.

"Shana, Leah, you two go deal with that big guy named Weiren." Seeing this, Xia Ye said to the two people around him anxiously.

Although it is obvious that Viren is stronger than Reels, it would be dangerous for Leah and Shana to deal with him.

However, if they let the enemy attack first at this critical moment, which would directly lead to casualties on their side, the situation of all of them would become even more desperate.

"Liya understands." "Got it."

Shana was also very clear about this truth. Although she didn't like this flamboyant blonde woman named Karen very much, at least she and she were still teammates on the same front. This was not the time to throw a tantrum.

As for Leah, she had already made an agreement with Xia Ye before setting off that all actions on this mission would be under the command of Xia Ye and Shana, so she agreed quite readily.

While the three of them were having a brief conversation, Vilen had already started rushing over again, and this time his speed was much faster than his previous slow approach. He was even faster than Leah who had activated the [Hollow Bone Structure].

With his burly body and speed, Vilen rushed towards Karen like a cannonball.

The latter gritted his teeth, gripped his huge sword tightly, his face turned pale, and he was ready to fight to the death with the opponent.

But at this moment, a downward kick accompanied by surging blue electric light and a brown-yellow figure attacked the front from both sides, colliding with the distorted air and abruptly stopping the opponent's attack.

For a moment, chaotic elements exploded from the point where the two sides came into contact.

"You go to the back and protect Xia Ye, and leave this guy to the two of us." After Shana quickly gave instructions, she leaped into the air. The dagger in her right hand was flowing with a trace of electricity. After spinning in the air in an exaggerated arc, she fiercely slashed at Vilen.

Leah also crouched down, her whole body tense, her muscles bulging, a dangerous green light flashing in her brown eyes, she whispered "Super powerful blow", and then leaped towards Vilen like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

"A mere second-level antagonist, are you in such a hurry to die?" Vilen felt that the touch of the previous attack was not right.

Although these two people are both at the second level judging by their rational aura, their attack strength is already close to the middle of the third level.

But he was too lazy to think about the reason.

His attacks were blocked time and time again, and he was very unhappy. Rage surged in his heart, and the rational factors on the surface of his body began to rise wildly. At the same time, the violent emotions brought about by the mutant factors became difficult to suppress.

He wanted to chop these two guys into pieces and throw them into the pile of monsters!

As he thought about it, he swung the serrated steel knife towards Shana. His other arm also became tense, with blood vessels clearly visible on the bulging muscles. Twisted air surrounded his hand and stretched straight towards Leah.

"Liya, be careful!"

At this moment, Xia Ye's reminder came, causing Leah, who had already jumped into the air, to subconsciously change her posture.

An invisible wave rushed towards Leah's shoulder dangerously.

If Xia Ye hadn't reminded her, a hole as big as a bowl would have been opened in Leah's chest.

It was Velen’s third-order ability—[Invisible Piercing].

"Damn it!" After a missed attack, Vilen was distracted and became even more irritable, but this gave the experienced combat-experienced Shana an opportunity. After using force to block the opponent's serrated blade, she punched him on the head with a ball of blue electric light.

"boom!"

A violent explosion sounded, and charred smoke rose above Vilen's head.

But after seeing this scene, Xia Ye sighed.

The rule of "smoke without damage" always makes people feel uncomfortable when it takes effect on the enemy.

79. Fighting in Separate Parts

Although she managed to avoid the fatal attack, Leah's shoulder was still scratched by the violent attack of Li Su, and blood was slowly oozing out. At the same time, she felt as if the left half of her chest was numb, and she felt painful and powerless.

For special people like them, their strength is only greater than those of their peers, so it is no problem for them to challenge those of a higher level.

However, Vilen is a genuine fourth-order strongman. Although he has just broken through to the elementary level, his use of physical elements, physical strength, and factor ability strength are far beyond the reach of third-order ability users.

What's more, thugs like Shadow Claw, who live on the edge of knives all day long, have much more combat experience than her.

For a moment, Leah felt a little powerless because of the instant life and death experience.

Negative emotions rose up in her heart without warning, just like the sentimentality she had shown in front of Xia Ye that day.

In her mind, she began to uncontrollably imagine the tragic scene of them being killed and their bodies left exposed in the wilderness.

"Liya! Cheer up! The enemy's attack is coming!" Xia Ye noticed Leiya's abnormality at the first time.

In his [True Insight] sense, Leah's body was gradually being surrounded by that despairing coldness.

"You...really! You're looking for death!" A violent roar came from the thick smoke. Vilen's face was bruised and some of his skin had turned black, but it was obvious that Shana's attack just now did not cause any substantial damage to him.

Instead, he grabbed Shana in the air with his backhand, and twisted air was wrapped around her forearm, causing even her muscles to be slightly deformed, which caused a trace of pain to appear on Shana's pretty face.
