The place where Li Wei and the others had a conflict with Alves and Mukie was too close to the Four-Leaf Clover Guild.
It's just a one-kilometer distance; no matter what happens, the news will definitely get back.
No matter what, Li Wei and his people are local hunters of the Clover Guild. Alvares and his companions, on the other hand, are not only outsiders but also not hunters from Westmum City. If things really get out of hand, who would suffer?
To put it to the extreme, as the instigators, no one would care if Alvares and his people were killed on the spot; but if they killed anyone from Li Wei's team, they would not be able to withstand the subsequent pursuit of the Hunter's Guild.
This is also why, despite suffering a great loss in Li Wei's hands and being severely injured or possibly dead on the spot, the other party still chose to let things go.
They dare not attack Li Wei and his team here. Conflicts are possible, and injury is not impossible, but if they fight for their lives, they are doomed regardless of the outcome.
Actually, when Mujie was seriously injured by Li Wei, Li Wei was eager to witness those people directly taking action. His mage armor had already been worn, and swords and guns were also ready for action at any time. At the same time, beside him, Weiss was on the verge of launching, able to provide him with support. Later, Qian Long, Bandry, and Cai Yutong were all prepared to take action.
As long as a fight starts, there are only three people left on the other side. Even if they are all masters who activate gene locks, Li Wei feels that there is a chance of winning on his side.
Unfortunately, the person named Ervis on the opposite side was very calm. He did not allow his people to continue the action and even took actions to terminate the conflict, which prevented Li Wei and his entourage from directly killing, otherwise they would easily get into trouble, instead becoming the "criminal party".
The current situation is the most dangerous. Alves and others have shifted from the visible to the invisible world. Although Muki was heavily injured by Li Wei, they still have three people left, and their strength is not weak. In case, during the assignment or at the critical moment of fighting those half-mechanical monsters, these people suddenly come out and stab us in the back, that threat is fatal!
The B-level mission at Center B of Jingkong Mantaring is already very difficult. Coupled with a group of people with ulterior motives posing a threat, things might really go wrong.
"Our mission... should we still continue with it?" Understanding the key points, Qian Long asked worriedly from the side.
"...Go!" Bandri gritted his teeth and gave his suggestion, then looked at Li Wei uncertainly.
"Go." Li Wei gave a brief reason, "There's no need to be timid. Be more cautious at that time. If they dare to come, let them never return!"
...
Boarding the vehicle again, the pickup trudged along the dilapidated streets, heading towards Merlin Avenue.
Bundary took over the driving duties. Levi and Welsh, the two who were involved in the earlier conflict and fought each other, were resting in the back seat.
Levi's punch against Mujie had slightly discomforted his left hand. The demon claw shattered in the confrontation, causing some impact on his spirit and the demon left hand itself. However, the overall situation was actually quite good. A rest of one or two hours, and there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Welch's condition was a bit worse. The wrestling with Mujie was nothing, but being secretly attacked by that guy was troublesome.
Mukeng's leather gloves definitely had a device that could pop out a small needle or something similar. When in contact, it would slightly puncture the skin without needing to go very deep. As long as a tiny bit of skin was punctured, some paralyzing toxin would invade the opponent's body.
This paralyzing toxin should not have too lethal an effect, but it has a very short onset time, and its effects will be quite noticeable.
At the moment of poisoning, Wales could feel a tingling sensation in his arm, and his muscle strength was significantly affected. Now that the numbing feeling is gone, fighting will undoubtedly be affected to some extent.
"Too insidious," Cai Yutong muttered complainingly as she took out a universal antidote from her own package.
The universal antidote is effective against most toxins and is quite versatile. However, as it is not a targeted specific medicine, it can only provide temporary relief. Ultimately, it will still depend on Wales's own physical resistance to overcome the toxin.
"How long will it take to recover?" Li Wei asked.
"A half-hour rest should allow a preliminary recovery of combat strength, by then, I should have about eighty to ninety percent of my fighting power available." Wells made a cautious assessment of his situation.
Li Wei nodded and said: "That's good. I estimate that it will take an hour to reach our target area by car, and if we encounter some troubles or obstacles along the way, the timing should be about the same."
"Hmm..." Wells responded, fell silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth again, saying: "Thank you... just now."
"You're welcome." Li Wei casually replied.
Wells looked around for a while, feeling a bit embarrassed, but he still asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "The power of that punch you just threw... it should have... reached the first developmental grade level, right?"
"Yes, with the enhancement from the demon's claw, if I use my left hand to strike, it's about that level."
"How... did you manage to do that?"
Li Wei looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Wells realized he had asked a foolish question, waved his hand and said "nothing", and fell silent.
After unlocking the genetic locks of the power chain, Wells thought he could finally surpass Levi in some respects. Admittedly, Levi's combat abilities were strong, but he believed that Levi still at the limit level would definitely have strength that pales in comparison to his own.
However, reality slapped him in the face once again.
Mokina, that guy, needless to say, must have been an evolver who had already activated the power chain. When competing with him, Wells felt his strength was even slightly inferior to his opponent's.
When that guy's knockout punch came at full force, he really thought he was done for.
Unexpectedly, the one who saved him at the critical moment was Levi.
Indeed, Levi's punch came from the side, and he used his own innate ability to summon the Demon Claw. He confronted his opponent with his mutated left hand, resulting in a draw. However, this by no means diminishes the sheer power of Levi's punch itself.
It takes a certain level of skill to achieve such a feat.
Wells felt a sense of frustration within his heart. As he looked at Levi's profile, he felt that he could never catch up to him no matter what.
