Chapter 133 - Endless Seas 08 (2/2)
Yu Hanjiang thought carefully and confirmed it. “They should be hunters. Two s.h.i.+ps of ordinary challengers have already died. Ordinary challengers shouldn’t kill aimlessly if they want to kill and rob cards. The cards taken by people on these two s.h.i.+ps might not necessarily be useful.”
Xiao Lou agreed. “Those who want to s.n.a.t.c.h cards must confirm that the other side’s cards are good enough before going to rob. Otherwise, killing a bunch of people and getting bad cards can easily lead to trouble. If they are hunters then it is a good explanation. They don’t need to pick targets when killing. Killing just one person will give them a bounty of one million!”
Yu Hanjiang’s voice was cold. “They also have cards in their hands. It seems they are learning and becoming smarter. They know how the spells of ‘foreigners’ work. I think this ‘environmental sound s.h.i.+eld’ card must’ve been picked up from a challenger they previously killed.”
Xiao Lou still couldn’t hear any noise. He had started to count from the moment the sound disappeared. Now it had been 10 seconds. It had an impact on the environment for such a long time that it should be a special S-grade effect card.
Since the ‘environmental sound elimination’ belonged to a change in the environment’s volume, not a means of attack or a control skill. That’s why Xiao Lou’s safety circle couldn’t resist the effect of this environment change.
It was quiet to the extreme and no sound could be heard. Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin faced each other. Just then, Yu Hanjiang suddenly said, “Bring in Old Mo using the Qin Guan card. I want to seize these killers.”
Xiao Lou immediately connected Old Mo with another Qin Guan card. He was connected with Yu Hanjiang and with Old Mo. This was equivalent to a communication transit station.
Xiao Lou nervously asked, “Where are those people? Group Leader Yu, can you see them?”
“They wanted to act against our boat but due to the safety circle protection, they found it isn’t easy to kill. Thus, they are changing targets to the left rear boat.”
It was a dark night and visibility was very low but Yu Hanjiang’s vision was generally good. He had caught many criminals in the middle of the night. Members of the police force said that Yu Hanjiang’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle and the people he was looking at couldn’t run away.
The hunters were very good in water. They perceived that Xiao Lou’s boat wasn’t easy to handle and immediately changed targets. However, as long as they moved in the water, there would be ripples on the sea surface.
Yu Hanjiang was staring closely at the dark sea. A circle of ripples was moving quickly toward the left rear. It was an escape boat with 10 people. The two people standing watch were sleepy. Yu Hanjiang spoke to Xiao Lou in his mind. “Countdown to three seconds. Then have Old Mo paint the sea with colour.”
Xiao Lou immediately told Mo Xuemin and suggested. “Use green. The human eye has a higher ability to distinguish green light at night.”
Old Mo nervously held the Colour Elements card. He counted down from three seconds and immediately used the card. He saw that the hull of the left rear escape boat, together with 500 square metres around it, turn a fluorescent green! Thanks to the Night Pearl, the fluorescent green was even more obvious! Soon, all challengers found the anomaly.
The drowsy person found his teammate was green and was shocked. “f.u.c.k, you’re green!”
The other man’s face sank. “f.u.c.k, what are you talking about… w-why are you green?” The two men said this but found they were suddenly mute. Their next words didn’t make any sound.
The next moment, a vast silver ring fell down, followed by a large scale with a diameter of five mtetres. The scales fell into the water! The two men stared at the scene with astonishment and disbelief.
The surrounding sea area in a 500 square metres range had completely turned a fluorescent green! In the distance, the unaffected challengers woke up their teammates. The group of people turned to look this way and said, “The water there seems to be green…”
”The s.h.i.+p is also green!”
“It must be a card effect!”
Some girls found that the distant sea had turned green and immediately picked up a night telescope to observe carefully. However, the saw the scene where two challenger s.h.i.+ps were brutally killed. The girls screamed, “Ah, dead! Two s.h.i.+ps over there are dead!”
The scream woke up all the challengers around them and everyone stood up nervously to see the situation. In the distance, the sea water was dyed a fluorescent green. Three men moved toward the escape boat like they had light footwork skills. One man controlled the rings smas.h.i.+ng into the sea while the other man controlled the balance. The sea dyed a fluorescent green left the hunters lurking in the sea with no choice.
Yu Hanjiang used the balance to control them and threw out the white silk with his right hand. The long white silk automatically tied up the hunters.
There was a series of exclamations. “Ah, who are these people?”
”What’s going on? Someone died?”
“Based on that sister just now, two boats were killed!”
“Are we unlucky enough to meet hunters?”
In the midst of the panic and people looking at the green area, Yu Hanjiang used the white silk to drag the underwater hunters out of the sea. They were three young and strong men. In order to prevent these three people from taking poison to commit suicide, Yu Hanjiang immediately moved and stuffed a piece of rag into their mouths.
The three people who were about to bite the poison in their teeth, “…”
At this point, all three of them were dyed green and looked even more obvious. It was time for the environmental sound s.h.i.+elding card to run out. The challengers recovered their voice. “My G.o.d, they must be hunters!”
”They specifically lurked underwater to kill and gain the bounty!”
”Are there really two s.h.i.+ps where everyone was wiped out?”
”I saw it. Two s.h.i.+ps and 16 people are dead!”
”My G.o.d, I was just dreaming yet these people were killed quietly. It’s terrible!”
The challengers dyed green didn’t care about his image and excitedly said, “Thank you big brother!”
”You saved us. If it wasn’t for the three of you suddenly emerging, we would’ve fallen asleep just now and not know how we died…”
Yu Hanjiang spoke lightly. “No need for thanks.”
Then he dragged the three men back to their boat. Shao Qingge and Xie Qi had long been awakened by the movement around them. They saw Group Leader Yu coming with three tied up captives and were full of surprise.
Xiao Lou gave everyone a simple explanation while Yu Hanjiang quickly searched the men to find three cards.
The S-grade special effects card, Quiet World. It could s.h.i.+eld any sound within 10 square metres and isolate this selected area from other areas, making it completely quiet. What would it feel like to be unable to hear the sound of breathing? It was like being abandoned by the entire world.
The quiet lasted for five minutes and the cooldown time was 15 minutes.
There was the A-grade special effects card, Water Ghost. All teammates within 10 metres would have underwater movement speed increase by 200% and they could breathe underwater for 30 minutes.
Finally, the A-grade special effects card, Frozen like a Statue. This left all targets in the specified 10 metre range in a frozen state, unable to do anything for 10 seconds. This had a 15 minutes cooldown.
Xiao Lou was frightened. “It seems they have been lurking underwater with the help of Water Ghost. First, they get close to the escape boat and block the sound, followed by Frozen like a Statue. Then they use a knife to cut the challenger’s throat. They can quietly kill an entire s.h.i.+p of people when the other side can’t resist or call for help!”
It was frightening just thinking about it. If it wasn’t for the Compa.s.s skill putting a safety circle and blocking the control of Frozen like a Statue, the next goal of these hunters would be Xiao Lou’s escape boat. Once they couldn’t move, Xiao Lou wouldn’t be able to call for help at all and the sleeping teammates would be killed with a knife.
Shao Qingge felt a chill down his spine. “Fortunately, the two of you were alert enough or we wouldn’t have known how we died.”
Mo Xuemin’s face was ugly. “It is really bad luck. I actually encountered hunters for two consecutive weeks.” He sucked in a frightened breath and looked at Yu Hanjiang. “Last week, only 20 people survived because of the hunters. If it wasn’t for you, it is estimated that more than 200 of these 400 challengers would die quietly tonight.”
Yu Hanjiang frowned at the three men who were tied up. The three men had rags in their mouth and were staring angrily at Yu Hanjiang, wanting to swallow him alive. They followed the instructions of the boss to a.s.sa.s.sinate foreigners and never lost. They didn’t expect that today, they actually kicked the iron plate!
