Chapter 41 - Chapter 41- The Interceptor

Wells is a highly famous hunter among the hunters of the Clover Division's contemporary group, and he ranks second among the younger generation of the entire Clover.

  Precisely because he ranked second, this arrogant young man felt extreme resentment towards Cai Yutong, the acknowledged rising star in the entire division who always overshadowed him.

  He is not someone to be messed with. Driven by this resentment, Wells would often follow Cai Yutong with his two minions after she accepted a commission, attempting to steal it.

  It's not really about the money or commission history. With Wells' abilities, he would never admit to being worse than Cai Yutong; his own commission efficiency is also quite high.

  He does this purely for "fun," to spite Cai Yutong.

  In the past, both successes and failures haven't meant much.

  But this time, it seems a bit different.

  Glancing past Cui He's battle with the myconid, Wells looks at Levi.

  "This guy..."

  He could be considered well-informed; a few days ago he had heard that "witch" Judith had brought back a young hunter from the lower district, and it seemed to be the one in front of him.

  "Hey!" Ignoring Cui He's plea for assistance, he shouted across the battlefield to Li Wei: "What's the prospect of following Cai Yutong? Come with me, help me hold off that woman. Once I finish off this mushroom man, I'll give you all the rewards from this commission, how about that?"

  Li Wei did not respond to him.

  "If you won't accept a drink respectfully, you'll be forced to drink a penalty!" Wei Er cursed.

  Next to him, the slightly plump Ah Lu said with some concern: "Wei Shao, let's hurry up and help. I think Cui He is really struggling to hold on; this mushroom man is still quite dangerous."

  After sizing up the situation, it indeed seemed to be the case. Wells spat and said, "Then let's go, move quickly and directly unleash our power to kill that mushroom man." He then added, "We must seize the mushroom man's eyes; they are the proof of mission completion." 

  "Alright."

  The two charged forward.

  It has to be said, Wells indeed had the capital for his arrogance. His weapon was a set of brass knuckles worn on both hands, and he was evidently a strength-oriented evolver, with an exceptionally outstanding power at the extreme level.

  As he punched forward and smashed the brass knuckles into the mushroom man's body, the damage dealt was not much less than Li Wei's Steel Slash.

  Every punch he threw had this much power! 

  The situation for the mushroom man is now very dire. It had already been bombarded quite badly by Cai Yutong's firepower before, and now encountering violent Wells and two underlings ganging up, it has no power to fight back at all.

  That's what makes these demonized monsters durable enough; if they were as brittle as vampires, they would have been taken down already.

  Cai Yutong was a bit anxious. She raised her gun, preparing to shoot, but was stopped by Li Wei.

  "No rush, let's not be hasty. Let them fight for a while longer."

  "If they keep fighting, the mushi figure will be killed by them!"

  "Not that quickly, and also, don't really regard this mushi figure as a toy without any ability to resist."

  Li Wei's words were soon realized.

  So far, apart from being able to endure beatings, the mushi figure hasn't shown any other abilities. But in reality, this monster is not really a dull mushroom with no special skills at all.

  Suddenly, the large umbrella surface that had always been used as a defensive tool, which was held over its head, expanded outward. Bene猴ia large amount of white powder quickly squeezed out from underneath the umbrella mushroom layer that was about to be smashed, spreading rapidly around.

  Wells' reaction was very fast. After realizing that something was wrong, he immediately retreated two steps, grabbing some space for reaction. When the white powder was flying, he swung a punch forward. 

  This was obviously a special skill. The heavy punch smashed a blasting sound. The air was compressed and exploded, and the white powder that was floating towards him was blown away in an instant, almost nothing could truly adhere to Wells' body.

  However, the two guys not far from the mushroom were in trouble.

  Cui He and Aru were almost half-covered in those white powders, and then, the truly frightening scene happened next.

  Those white powders began to spread and grow wildly, forming patches resembling moss that covered the two of them.

  "Ahhhhhh!" exclaimed screams of agony as Cui He and Aru suffered immensely.

  The powders that clung to people's bodies are, in essence, a special kind of spore that grows extremely quickly. They use a very brutish method to absorb the vitality of the host, in order to achieve a lethal effect.

  Actually, Aru is a bit better off; the most tragic case is Cui He. His shoulder was struck by Levi's piercing bullet, turning it into a severely infected area for spores to thrive. Lacking skin protection, the speed at which those spores absorb blood and life force directly through the wound is obviously much faster than under normal circumstances.

  In summary, these two individuals have already lost their combat capabilities.

  The mushroom person, having released a large amount of spores, was not faring well either. Its umbrella cap, which had just expanded, had already retracted and become withered. Moreover, its entire body seemed to have become listless.

  It had reached its limit; releasing spores should have been its last desperate move.

  "It's time. Let's go!" Levi charged forward, not forgetting to remind Cai Yutong behind him.

  Fire roared as Cai Yutong's dual guns sprayed bullets without any reservation.

  The mushroom person's defense is obviously not as good as before. Under Cai Yutong's bombardment, it let out shrill screams of agony and looked like it was on the verge of collapse.

  As long as Li Wei goes up and delivers the final blow, and then hastily digs out its eyes, there should be no suspense in this mission.

  But Wells disagrees.

  "Fantasy!"

  The golden-haired man with bloodshot eyes roared while swinging his fist towards Li Wei.

  Prevent Li Wei from getting close, and even directly injure or disable him so that he cannot obtain the eyes was Wells' intention.

  No matter how strong Cai Yutong's firepower was, she was attacking from a distance, and it was not so convenient to retrieve the eyes.

  "I had anticipated that," Li Wei said with a smile on the corner of his mouth. He slashed his short knife through the air, and the power of the fierce wind surged. A whirlwind rose from nowhere, sweeping up both the fungus-man and Wells.

  The Steel Slashing Flash itself was not an attack skill with particularly great power, but after its continuous use twice before, its characteristic of releasing the Gale Rift Slash on the third time completely sublimated this skill!
