Chapter 1346: Chapter 1347: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

The other party arrived quickly. Within a matter of a few words, Fan Zhigang and the others also detected that someone was coming, and the three of them, together with Xu Huo, overtook and ambushed ahead.

A total of seven people came. Judging by their attire, they seemed to be dungeon players from an external district. These people threw several metal balls while the car was climbing uphill and turning. These black balls, being magnetic, bounced a few times on the ground before quickly attaching to the car body. Qiu Ming and Dai Song, who remained in the car, acted swiftly to open the black balls and used props to defend against the short arrows that flew towards the tires. With both sides ensuring that the car could still move, this brief confrontation didn’t cause more damage, but the car was forced to stop.

Seven players came from behind, but they didn’t rush forward. Accompanied by a creepy laugh that surrounded them at a 360-degree angle, a shadow moved so fast through the forest that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. One could only feel it passing before their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the person was right in front!

"Bang!" A heavy blow struck Dai Song’s defensive barrier, sending him flying out, while the elusive shadow countered with a foot kicking Qiu Ming in the chest. However, this strike didn’t knock Qiu Ming off the car, instead the prop that Qiu Ming had pre-arranged on his clothes stuck to it.

"I won’t let you get away this time!" Qiu Ming stabilized himself on the car, and raised his leg aiming at the opponent’s head.

The player attempting to seize the initiative with speed put on an invisible shoe, causing one of his legs to sink onto the car roof, unable to move for a moment. During this time, Qiu Ming struck his defensive barrier, making him stagger a step—since his right foot seemed glued to the car roof, he tilted to the side and was subsequently hit in the back by the returning Dai Song.

As the defense props were broken, the player freed himself from the foot prop’s control and quickly retreated off the car like the wind, simultaneously throwing down an unknown wax-like substance. Subsequently, the whole car was rapidly enveloped in wax.

Helplessly, Cao Qinglin could only bring Dr. Duor out first. As for the household mechanical being, even in sealed environments, it had no impact and was unafraid of fire or water, so no one managed it for the time being.

However, the car surely couldn’t move now.

Dai Song and Qiu Ming guarded the two without pursuing, but unexpectedly, Cao Qinglin’s hands suddenly grew empty, and the spot where Dr. Duor had been standing turned into a man she had never encountered before!

The three of them were very close to Dr. Duor, but suddenly switched to a player beside them. In their shock, they hurriedly retreated, but the player who was switched relentlessly pursued Cao Qinglin. He swung a human-sized rubber ball at her back!

Although she had some defense props, when Cao Qinglin was hit by the rubber ball, she was still flung forward forcibly, and the ball quickly bounced back towards Qiu Ming, who was rushing to help!

Qiu Ming was knocked back, but after bumping the rubber ball away, he managed to intercept the switched player before he could attack the second time, while Dai Song had already gone after the high-speed player.

Piercing laughter echoed through the dense forest; with the opponent moving too fast, relying solely on sound made it impossible to track their movements, and the eyes were clearly struggling to keep up. After being taunted several times, Dai Song couldn’t help but shout, "Hiding and showing, as if you’re so great!"

The taunt was obvious, yet the opponent fell for it. The next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of Dai Song. Prepared for it, Dai Song’s waist shot out a white ring of light, cutting through the high-speed player and surrounding trees as it raced outward!

Large sections of trees toppled, but the shadow in front of Dai Song vanished after splitting into two halves, and then the opponent’s trace was completely lost in the forest.

With a sullen expression, Dai Song scattered a handful of thumb-sized mechanical bugs into the air, and followed rapidly after the locations towards which the majority darted!

Dai Song was led away, meanwhile another player approached Qiu Ming and Cao Qinglin over there, making it two against two, barely holding even, but still restraining them.

Three of the seven appeared; the switched-away Dr. Duor was clearly with the remaining four, and Fan Zhigang and the others had already gone after others.

At this moment, the car encased in wax suddenly moved slightly, and two figures gradually appeared at the back seat. Dr. Duor was held down by a man with tattoos all over his head, "My brother Fiery Eyes nailed you as a fake right away."

Dr. Duor couldn’t resist and was warned, "Move one more inch and I’ll break your limbs. In any case, as long as you’re alive when delivered to that lab, it’s fine."

Dr. Duor showed fear and disgust but dared not move again.

The bald head turned to look at the household mechanical being in front, saying, "Not bad, this robot looks real, it’s mine now..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He swiftly drew a prop to attack the side, yet at that moment, his throat was slit by an invisible blade, and he slumped forward onto the seat.

Watching the blood drip steadily down, Dr. Duor couldn’t adapt, unsure who struck. But he felt as though someone invisible was sitting beside him, just as he was about to speak, a sheet of white paper appeared from nowhere and covered his head.

Dr. Duor vanished, Xu Huo put him into the painting and instructed the household mechanical being, "Time to work, clean off the wax outside the car."

"Okay, sir." The household mechanical being’s hands finally left the steering wheel.

She exited the car, and Xu Huo also left, taking the bald-headed player’s corpse with him.

Three people were left outside.

Fan Zhigang and the others had already blocked the opponents, and both sides were locked in combat, with frequent activity in the forest, failing to end the fight quickly. Gradually, it attracted a lot of mutant creatures; mutant plants were relatively slow, but some fast mutant animals were now near their feet!

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

Large beasts let out roars, not just to intimidate but also to summon partners. This place was inherently dangerous, and in a matter of moments, it seemed as if the surrounding area was full of aliens, no exception underground or in the sky!

"Boss, let’s retreat!" The players chasing them saw that things weren’t looking good and wanted to quit, "There are too many aliens to kill them all!"

As he spoke, two giant bears pounced on them fiercely. Although the defensive barrier wasn’t breached, the force couldn’t be neutralized, and instantly several players were repeatedly pushed back.

Fan Zhigang’s side was the same, the difference being they couldn’t just leave, "Hand over the person!"

Both sides engaged with the aliens and continued fighting. Before long, they were all injured, and seeing more and more aliens around, Fan Zhigang and the others were anxious. If they lost Dr. Duor, this mission would be a bust, and among these people, there’s still someone who hadn’t shown up, hiding somewhere unknown!
