Yuan Baixue first made a face at Qin Huanyu from an angle where Yi Youyou couldn't see her, then stammered as if sobbing:
"She forcibly took off my clothes... and... and pinned me to the bed!"
"?"
Yi Youyou was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Okay, okay, so this is how you play it? I've only been out doing quests for a few days, and you two have already progressed this fast?
"Don't listen to her nonsense!"
Qin Huanyu could no longer remain silent and quickly explained:
"That stupid witch mistook me for an enemy, not only ambushed me, but also let go of the suspect I almost caught... It's only natural that I bullied her a little after defeating her, right?"
"...So what you call bullying is taking off her clothes?"
Yi Youyou retorted irritably.
"That's to prevent her from escaping and retaliating with magic! I don't know your spiritual power sealing techniques, so I can only use her sense of shame, right? It works very well."
Qin Huanyu explained her reasons in a serious tone, but seeing that Yi Youyou still looked disgusted, she could only forcefully change the subject, pointing in the direction from which the firelight and explosion came:
"Alright, we can discuss these things when we get back. Shouldn't we go help Lao Guo hunt the Wild Hunt now?"
"...That's right, business is more important, let's go."
Yi Youyou took a deep breath, stopped glaring at Qin Huanyu with disdain, and turned around to help Yuan Baixue, who had just regained her freedom, to her feet:
"How are you? How much fighting strength do you have left?"
"...My body is a bit sore, and I'm in quite a bit of pain."
Yuan Baixue stretched her limbs, looking somewhat worried, and said:
"I'm definitely terrible at close combat right now, but my spiritual power is basically unaffected, so my spellcasting ability is still pretty strong."
"Alright, then you can be in charge of remote support... As for whether to use offensive or support spells, that's up to you to decide."
As Yi Youyou spoke, Qin Huanyu nodded in agreement. The two of them grabbed one of Yuan Baixue's hands and prepared to rush towards the direction from which the fire and explosion had come.
"Wait a minute, let me give you a buff first!"
Yuan Baixue stopped the two of them, and before they could answer, she gathered a considerable amount of spiritual energy and began to cast a spell, using the technique of performing two spells simultaneously with both hands.
Soon, Yuan Baixue conjured two talismans the size of cell phones. She handed them to Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou while breathing softly.
"Put this inside your clothes and keep it close to your body. Don't resist its spiritual power, and you will get an extra layer of protection."
Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou naturally wouldn't refuse. They were both women with very hot figures, and each had a very suitable place to put the talisman. Almost without thinking, they unbuttoned their clothes together, put the talisman in, and stuck it on their bodies.
Immediately, Qin Huanyu felt a spiritual essence tightly enveloping her, as if she were wearing an invisible bodysuit. It had some weight, but it was light and soft and did not affect her movements at all.
"What an amazing protective spell... How strong is its defense?"
As Qin Huanyu sighed, she also lightly scratched her arm with the chain alloy blade at her lower back, but it did not cause any wound.
An invisible membrane blocked the attack, absorbing a significant amount of the blade's kinetic energy and pressure. Combined with the fact that Qin Huanyu hadn't used much force, this resulted in the attack.
"Don't expect too much from the defensive capabilities of this spell."
Seemingly worried that Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou might overextend themselves by relying on defensive spells, Yuan Baixue quickly and earnestly reminded them:
“I tested it during my training. The defensive power of this spell is about the same as that of ordinary plate armor. It can block ordinary swords and arrows without any problem, but it is not very effective against heavy weapons... Its defense against firearms is even worse than that of bulletproof vests. It can only stop small-caliber pistol bullets.”
"That's already amazing!"
Qin Huanyu was quite satisfied:
"After all, your magic doesn't affect your movements at all. At most, it's like wearing a bodysuit, which is an advantage that plate armor and bulletproof vests can't match... Be confident, you silly witch. Although you've only ever given out perks after defeats so far, your magic is indeed quite useful."
"I'm not just someone who can only lose! You wait and see, this time I'll definitely take that Wild Hunt guy's head!"
A well appeared above Yuan Baixue's head, and without waiting for Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou, she ran off towards the direction from which the sounds of battle were coming.
Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou exchanged a helpless glance and shrugged together.
"Ah~~"
However, before the two of them could even complain about Yuan Baixue, Yuan Baixue, who had just run around a corner a few seconds earlier, screamed in alarm.
Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou looked at each other again, both seeing the astonishment and speechlessness in each other's eyes, and then immediately ran over to check the situation.
Yuan Baixue was defeated again; she was caught in a fishing net, unable to move, and could only writhe on the ground in awkward postures. Beside her, three demonized hunters raised their spears, ready to deliver the final blow.
Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou certainly wouldn't just watch Yuan Baixue get killed like that. After quickly defeating all the demonized hunters, the two of them rescued Yuan Baixue once again.
"...Who was it that just said they would never be defeated again?"
As Qin Huanyu used the chain alloy blade to cut the fishing net, she couldn't help but make a joke.
"How can this be called a defeat? I was just careless!"
Yuan Baixue had long since transformed into Yuan Hongxue—her face was now completely red.
"Who would have thought these hunters would be so despicable! Even after being corrupted, they still set traps!"
"It's perfectly normal for hunters to use traps, isn't it?"
Qin Huanyu was both amused and exasperated:
"Do you really expect them to stand still and just rely on crossbows and javelins to fight you with spells in a turn-based exchange?"
"...Gu!"
Yuan Baixue clearly knew she had made a huge fool of herself this time, so she muttered something and didn't say anything more.
After being defeated and captured so many times, even though Yuan Baixue wasn't very bright, she finally learned her lesson and realized that spellcasters couldn't charge ahead alone in dungeons. She stayed close to Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou.
This castle certainly doesn't only house the Wild Hunt, a bizarre creature. Even a newly born near-demon lord like Pure Love God of War can gather a bunch of victims who have been bullied as his henchmen. The Wild Hunt, a powerful bizarre creature who has been famous for many years, naturally also has many subordinates, all of whom are demonized hunters.
Fortunately, apart from the five demonized hunters who initially captured Yuan Baixue, the remaining demonized hunters no longer resembled citizens of the Holy Zhou Kingdom. Instead, they were all strong white or black men, likely victims captured by the Wild Hunt while causing trouble overseas.
These demonized hunters are not particularly strong in direct combat. Most of them use melee weapons such as spears and crossbows, with only a very few using firearms. Their physical abilities after being demonized are only slightly stronger than those of ordinary people, and they can be instantly killed by a bullet to a vital point.
However, these demonized hunters were cunning, each skilled in ambushes and setting traps. The ingenuity of many of their traps left Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou speechless with admiration, while Yuan Baixue was utterly dumbfounded... If she chose to continue charging in alone, who knows how many more times she would be defeated and captured.
Fortunately, Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou are both professionals in this kind of combat.
Yi Youyou is the phantom thief [Skylark], who has specialized in dismantling traps for several years. The traps set by these demonized hunters are very ingenious, but they still can't fool her.
Qin Huanyu possesses the Mathematical Eye, which allows her to see through any trap at a glance. After seeing it, she understands the operating principle of the trap better than the demonized hunter who set it up. She can even quickly generate optimized solutions for the trap in her mind. She is also not afraid of traps.
Without traps, the most effective means of attack, the demonized hunters were no match for the three women working together. Basically, they died one by one as soon as they came out. Most of them were killed by Yuan Baixue's magic or by Yi Youyou's marbles that pierced their vital organs. A few demonized hunters who seized the opportunity to rush in front of the three women had their heads blown off by the Kanglong Mace or their necks snapped by the alloy tentacles.
The three women fought their way through the castle, like a team of players clearing a dungeon, leaving behind hundreds of corpses of demonized hunters before finally reaching the center of the castle.
The signs of battle are already visible here. Many pieces of furniture and decorations have been burned, and there are more than a dozen charred corpses of demonized hunters, which are likely Guo Ying's spoils of war.
Continuing forward, they passed through a gate that had been half-smashed and arrived at a hall of about 1000 square meters, where Qin Huanyu and the others finally met Guo Ying and Kuanglie.
Gu Hao's words during the interrogation were absolutely true; Kuanglie was indeed a beautiful woman, and one that was very easy for men to lose control of.
She was about 1.9 meters tall, with a typical Western woman's figure, long, blood-red hair reaching her waist, and wearing only a bikini-style leather outfit... It's possible she had other clothes before, but they were either cut up or burned during her fight with Guo Ying.
Wild Hunt has three weapons in total. She is currently using two steel one-handed axes, and she also has a greatsword that is longer than her body slung across her back.
The clanging and banging sounds, like the clanging of metal, rang out continuously as Wild Hunt and Guo Ying clashed with their knives.
Wild Hunt's strength and speed are clearly superior to Guo Ying's, and its skills are also on the better side.
However, Guo Ying was not at a clear disadvantage. His real killing move was never swordsmanship, but the blazing flames.
Guo Ying possessed extraordinary talent. At a very young age, he awakened a peculiar superpower: his salivary and sweat glands were different from ordinary people. The saliva and sweat he secreted contained a large amount of alcohol, which, when mixed with air, would easily ignite upon contact with fire. As a result, his family renovated more than ten times when he was a child.
Later, Guo Ying went to practice the martial arts of the ancient school. While gradually gaining control over her superpowers, she also learned how to ignite fire with spiritual energy, which led to her becoming the Flaming Swordsman she is today. She is considered the strongest fighter among the third-generation disciples of the Treasure Pavilion.
In the midst of the fierce battle with the Mad Hunter, Guo Ying first took the opportunity to release alcohol mist during the clash of swords, then seized the chance to ignite this alcohol mist and unleash explosive sword energy. The ferocious sharpness and heat were so intense that even a demon lord like the Mad Hunter dared not directly confront it, and was forced to retreat step by step.
However, it may seem that Guo Ying has the advantage, but that is not the case.
Guo Ying's Explosive Flame Sword Qi is powerful, but each use consumes a lot of spiritual energy and physical strength, while Wild Hunt's health and stamina bars are bottomless.
Guo Ying is fine in the short term, and can even suppress the Mad Hunter, but as time goes on, when Guo Ying's physical strength and spiritual energy are exhausted, he will become weak and can only be easily crushed by the Mad Hunter... This is also the biggest difference between Guo Ying and top-level patrol officers like Lü Meng. He has explosive power, but his endurance is not good.
Therefore, the best tactic for this campaign is to take advantage of Guo Ying's relatively good physical strength and spiritual energy, and work together to suppress the Wild Hunt to death. We must not fight a protracted war!
Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou made this judgment after only a brief glance at the battle situation, and Yuan Baixue understood after being quietly reminded by Qin Huanyu.
They don't plan to make a move easily, but once they do, they'll give the Wild Hunt a hard time!
Guo Ying and Wild Hunt, who were in the middle of a battle, also noticed the arrival of the three women. Wild Hunt had to devote some of his energy to guarding against the three women, which created an opportunity for Guo Ying.
Although Guo Ying was also quite reckless, his combat experience was much richer than Yuan Baixue's. He immediately understood the three women's plan and decided to cooperate.
"what!"
With a roar, his massive muscles bulged, and beads of sweat rapidly secreted from his skin pores, turning into an alcohol mist that spread outwards.
This was clearly the appearance of a powerful attack charging up, which made Wild Hunt very alert. Having already suffered two losses, she did not try to interrupt by dashing in again. Instead, she immediately jumped back and threw the steel battle axe in her hand at Guo Ying.
The spinning, flying battle axe was incredibly powerful. If Guo Ying didn't want to be killed instantly, he would have to either give up charging up his power to dodge and parry, or strike ahead of time to bring the axe down. In any case, choosing the Wild Hunt strategy achieved his goal.
However, Guo Ying is not the only enemy hunting wildly in the hall now.
Seeing through Guo Ying's intentions, Yi Youyou acted decisively, throwing a dozen or so marbles at the two throwing axes from the side.
Ordinary marbles are no match for the power of throwing axes, and they were smashed to the ground with a crackling sound. However, one of the marbles was infused with Yi Youyou's power and weighed several tons. It easily knocked one of the throwing axes off its flight path, and then deflected the other throwing axe as well, causing it to fly past Guo Ying without hitting her.
The alcohol fog around Guo Ying's body became even thicker.
Sensing something was wrong, Wild Hunt tried to attack Guo Ying again, but Yuan Baixue's spell arrived.
It was the same combo of spells used against Qin Huanyu: starting with a liquid spirit ball that had a stun effect and a levitation talisman that had a range-delay effect, followed by a dense bombardment of dozens of spirit bullets, and finally a large Yin-Yang jade with a diameter of over 1 meter that fell from the sky and smashed into the top of the Mad Hunter's head.
Regardless of its actual power, this combo looks incredibly powerful and intimidating. The spells are executed with exceptional skill and spiritual energy, making them a force to be reckoned with.
Wild Hunt also dared not let his guard down, especially with that large Yin-Yang Jade above his head, which looked very powerful and he absolutely could not be hit!
So Wild Hunt stopped holding back and suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of blood energy, directly scattering the liquid spirit sphere and the suspended spirit talisman, and withstanding the attack of all the spirit bullets.
Those spirit bullets were still quite powerful, leaving many red marks on Wild Hunt's body, but Wild Hunt ignored them all. Her eyes were fixed on the large Yin-Yang Jade in the air, and she no longer even looked at Guo Ying, who was about to finish charging up.
"drink!"
With a sharp shout, the broadsword on Wild Hunt's back was finally grasped in her hand. With a very large upward slash, she directly cleaved the falling large Yin-Yang Jade in two.
But Guo Ying also finished charging up his power at this moment. A large amount of alcohol mist exploded as he swung his sword, turning into a burst of fiery sword energy more than 3 meters long, which slashed towards the Wild Hunt head-on.
At this moment, the large Yin-Yang Jade that Wild Hunt just cleaved open on the top of her head was absolutely impossible to dodge. At most, she could only block it by holding the greatsword horizontally in front of her... But even if she could block the sword energy, the high temperature of the exploding flames would be enough to give her a hard time, and might even burn away her bikini-style leather outfit.
"drink!"
However, Wild Hunt's body erupted with blood energy once again, and her strength and speed increased again. Her swinging arms even left afterimages and the sound of air being cut.
With this explosive power, Wild Hunt actually managed to make another move in an instant... She held her broadsword horizontally and swung it at Guo Ying's blazing sword energy like a fan.
A massive storm was conjured up out of thin air by the Wild Hunt, not only causing the flames from the alcohol mist to surge back, but also scattering the sword energy unleashed by Guo Ying!
Yi Youyou and Yuan Baixue behind were also affected. Yi Youyou was lucky to escape by lightening her body and flying away when she saw the situation was bad. Yuan Baixue was more unlucky. She had just finished a set of spells and had no way to dodge. Her shrine maiden dress was ignited by the flames. By the time she finally managed to put it out, her long shrine maiden dress had turned into a mini-skirt.
"Humph!"
With a single strike, he suppressed all the enemies. Wild Hunt let out a long breath, a hint of smugness on his face, and was about to utter a few sarcastic remarks.
However, just as she was about to speak, Wild Hunt's smugness froze on her face... She remembered that there were three women who had run in earlier, but now there were only two left? Where was the other one?
Whoosh!
Hearing the whooshing sound behind her, Mad Hunter didn't hesitate and rolled away without any regard for her image as a beautiful woman. She barely managed to avoid the sneak attack from behind by the Dragon-Slaying Mace. The shards of stone that flew out when the ground was smashed almost hit her eyes.
But this was just the beginning. With a final burst of energy, Wild Hunt dodged the Dragon-Slaying Mace, but he couldn't dodge the alloy tentacles that followed. He was struck solidly, and with a crack, his once fair skin was torn open.
"You deserve to die! I'm going to kill you! I'll turn you into roast meat!"
Enraged, Wild Hunt scrambled to his feet and swung his greatsword at Qin Huanyu. Qin Huanyu, equally unyielding, countered with her Dragon-Slaying Mace, while simultaneously using her alloy tentacles to attack Wild Hunt's lower flank.
when! when!
After exchanging a few blows, Mad Hunter was shocked and furious to find that she was actually at a disadvantage! The greatsword in her hand, which could be considered a mythical weapon, actually let out a mournful cry after clashing with the Dragon-Slaying Mace a few times, and her legs were also attacked several times by the alloy tentacles.
Qin Huanyu's alloy tentacles weren't just for whipping and entanglement; they could also switch to chain alloy blades for slashing and use the long, spirit-slaying iron needles at the top to thrust like a scorpion's tail! Coupled with the near-indestructible Kanglong Mace's resonant strike, the Mad Hunter was momentarily stunned, inflicting more damage in less than 30 seconds than Guo Ying had done in half a day!
Unfortunately, Wild Hunt is ultimately a freak of the Ghost Realm and a high-ranking member of the Truth Society. She will be hit hard by Qin Huanyu's fighting style in the first encounter, but it will be difficult for her to be completely defeated.
After realizing what was happening, Wild Hunt found a way to deal with Qin Huanyu: he summoned back the two flying axes to attack her instead of engaging in close combat!
This tactic works quite well. Qin Huanyu can't ignore the threat of the flying axes and continue her fierce attack, nor does she have a ranged means to deal with the flying axes while continuing to attack.
