Chapter 71 - 69: Atoman Appears

Innate Skill "Charming Eye"!A very special skill, with different effects on different targets.

This skill is completely ineffective against Undead Series and Puppet Type monsters, has minimal effect on Plant Series and Elemental Series monsters, can induce short-term hypnosis on Spirit Beast Type, and works best on Intelligent Species or Intelligent Subspecies, capable of charming and controlling them as slaves.

The skill’s effects enhance with level, Soul Power, and Magic, while the spiritual power consumed by the skill is not fixed. The caster can adjust the expenditure of spiritual power, and the more spiritual power consumed, the stronger the effect.

Hang Yu had no idea that Su Yunbing had this skill.

Otherwise, the transaction at that time wouldn’t have been so passive.

However, Su Yunbing is also a very calculating and cunning person. She clearly needed the spiritual power fruit very much, yet she acted as if she was indifferent. She really is an actor.

Currently, Su Yunbing can easily control an ordinary level 3 target, or control two ordinary level 2 targets. If she uses all her spiritual power to release the skill at once, theoretically, she can temporarily control a level 1 or level 2 Elite Monster.

At this moment, the Charming Fishman Servant blocked several monster attacks.

Su Yunbing shouted, "Retreat quickly!"

Li Song frantically said, "No, we’re surrounded, this is a dead end."

The others were somewhat panicked.

Everyone’s spiritual power was running low.

Now, in the midst of battle, there was no time to replenish it. Facing an onslaught of fishmen, it was inevitably chaotic and embarrassing.

Could it really end disastrously here?

The thought simultaneously crossed their minds.

A primal fear surged in their hearts.

After all, this was the real world where resurrection wasn’t possible.

"We don’t know when the reinforcements will come, holding on isn’t a solution." Su Yunbing’s brows furrowed, but her voice remained firm, "With the little strength we have left, we’ll break through directly."

Su Yunbing was right.

Relying on reinforcements was less promising than breaking through themselves.

Everyone still had a bit of spiritual power, so there was still a chance to break through.

But if they stayed and held their ground, once all six of them exhausted their spiritual power, it would become even more dangerous.

Forcing a breakthrough might result in some casualties.

If they were completely trapped, they might face total annihilation.

With Su Yunbing’s personality, she would rather take control of their own hope.

"Yubing, I’m sorry, this was my failure in intelligence gathering this time." Li Song was deeply remorseful, "I didn’t expect such a big miscalculation to drag you down."

"Don’t mention it, you can’t blame Uncle Li for this. I was the one who suggested the risky move." Su Yunbing controlled the fishman servant and stabbed down a few more slave laborers, "It’s too late for words, fight our way out!"

The controlled fishman servant triggered retaliation from other fishmen.

Soon, it was overwhelmed and beaten to death at the front.

The situation was becoming increasingly grim, and the group decided to risk it all, hoping for at least one to escape!

But after only a couple of steps, screams erupted behind them, as Lin Lan, the weakest in melee, was knocked to the ground by a slave laborer’s hammer.

The fishman slave laborer brandished an iron hammer, ready to deliver a final blow.

Su Yunbing and Cao Rui wanted to rescue her, but it was too late.

Lin Lan was filled with fear. As a level 2 Magic Professional, she was completely unprepared for melee combat, and her spiritual power was already depleted. The chance of breaking through was now very slim.

Am I really going to die here?

No, I’m not willing.

How can I fall here?

I still need to assist Teacher Su in great achievements!

Lin Lan’s heart was full of reluctance, but she was already severely injured and unable to stand.

A certain fellow hiding nearby and watching the show seemed to have anticipated the timing precisely, finally making a move in this critical moment.

A sharp whoosh pierced the air.

The fishman slave laborer had just raised its hammer when it didn’t have time to bring it down.

A flying knife was lodged into the back of its head, and it toppled over, dispatched.

In less than two seconds.

Another flying knife came shooting through.

Another fishman slave laborer was added to the scene.

"What’s going on?"

"Who made the move?"

"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"

Everyone looked bewildered, not reacting.

Li Song was equally confused. Though he had sought reinforcements, they couldn’t have arrived this quickly?

As everyone remained puzzled, a third flying knife pierced through the air, hitting the forehead of a fishman servant. Even a level 2 fishman servant was instantly killed.

All six faces changed color.

This guy is too monstrous!

Ordinary fishman slave laborers aside, even fishman servants were killed in one blow by a flying knife? Just how strong is this guy!

Even the fishmen, no matter how slow, should have realized by now.

A fishman servant, full of rage, turned around, quickly leading a group of slave laborers toward the direction of the assailant.

Whoosh!

Another whoosh pierced the air!

This time, it wasn’t a flying knife.

A fishbone spear shot through rapidly.

First, it struck the foremost fishman servant in the body, and the terrifying throwing power caused the sharp fishbone spear to penetrate straight through the fishman servant’s body before embedding itself in a fishman slave laborer.

Its remaining power was still not diminished!

Half of the spear emerged from the back!

The immense kinetic energy of the fishbone spear carried a fishman slave’s body, crashing into another fishman slave behind it, pinning the two fishman creatures to the ground together.

One spear.

Instantly kills three monsters!

And one of them was even a level 2 fishman servant!

What kind of spear is this? Its power is comparable to a heavy crossbow!

Even a standard sniper rifle might not penetrate three monsters; such terrifying throwing power, who exactly is this mysterious figure!

Su Yunbing and Li Song were deeply shocked.

Especially Su Yunbing, who had always been rather proud, yet she never imagined there was such a formidable person in Jiang City.

It was enough to make one’s scalp tingle!

Who is this? Who exactly is he!

Everyone widened their eyes, staring into the fog.

They automatically envisioned a Schwarzenegger-like mighty man, but how could such a powerful, sharp, aggressive person be an ordinary guy?

They finally got to see the other party’s appearance as they wished.

A man appeared before them unhurriedly, neither tall nor fierce, riding a shared bike commonly seen on the roadside, with a mask on his face.

An Atoman mask.

What’s more, it was a Tielo Atoman mask!

The expressions of reverence on Su Yunbing and Li Song’s faces immediately froze!

Who would wander around the streets in broad daylight wearing an Atoman mask, riding a shared bike, if not someone who had escaped from a mental institution?

The stark contrast between this guy’s image and the sense of power he created was so enormous that it was hard to suppress the urge to criticize.

It was somewhat eye-burning!

The Tielo Atoman didn’t stop.

He flicked his hands, tossing out a cold glint, pinning it to a fishman slave’s forehead, effortlessly killing another one.

So strong!

He had only been on the scene for four or five seconds!

Yet he continuously took out several fishman monsters!

The other fishman monsters seemed to sense the enormous threat.

A large half of the fishmen stopped attacking the Spirit Relief Association’s people and turned around toward the man with the Atoman mask on the bike.

The Atoman mask man didn’t say a word, he raised his hand to make a farewell gesture, then turned the bike around, pedaled hard on the pedals, and the bike accelerated suddenly, taking a group of fishman slaves away with him.

"Hey, wait, I’m Li Song, a steward of the Jiang City branch of the Spirit Relief Association, may I know the name of this little brother, we must pay our respects another day."

"Don’t waste your effort, if he really wanted to leave his name, would he be wearing an Atoman mask?" Su Yunbing lashed a whip, knocking over a fishman slave, "Hurry up and clear out these monsters."

Li Song felt regret: "He doesn’t look like someone from the Celestial Net. If we could recruit him to the Spirit Relief Association, he’d surely be a great help in the future!"

The others also strongly agreed.

This person was really amazing.

He must be a level 3, just with that flying knife skill alone, he’s probably not weaker than Su Yunbing... just seems mentally unstable, kind of a joker.

Su Yunbing took a deep look at the back of the leaving figure.

She keenly noticed this silhouette... seemed very familiar.

Why would the other party wear a mask? To avoid being recognized by them!

Why wouldn’t he say a word? Either he’s mute, or more likely afraid that speaking would reveal his identity. What kind of person would feel speaking would reveal them? It must be someone they know.

The Atoman rider’s stunning yet fleeting appearance not only left a deep impression but also took away over half of the fishman monsters on site, thus resolving the danger for the six of them.

Only a dozen or twenty fishmen remained.

Though still somewhat troublesome, they no longer posed a threat.

After a fierce battle, all the fishmen were successfully dealt with.

Despite each suffering some injuries, fortunately, no one was killed.

The six hurried to the fishman camp by the beach, but were left dumbstruck by what they saw.

"What happened?"

"Did someone get here before us?"

The camp revealed a large number of corpses and several boxes filled with materials, but most of the items had been taken. What remained were largely useless or cheap things.

"Teacher Su, quick, look at this monster with a flying knife in it!" Cao Rui discovered a fishman slave with a flying knife stuck in it, "It must have been done by that Atoman!"

So it turns out they had been busy for nothing.

They had ventured and risked to lure away the fishmen.

In the end, most of the spoils went to someone else.

One of Li Song’s team members immediately complained: "We bent over backward and nearly died, only for someone else to reap the benefits in the end."

That kind of thing would frustrate anyone!

Li Song shook his head: "Don’t say that, no matter what, he did save our lives... And even if we made it here, we might not have the means to take the materials."

Su Yunbing asked: "Why do you say that?"

"Look at this monster, it seems to be a level 3 elite!"

Li Song pointed to a fishman corpse that looked different.

His innate skill was a reconnaissance-type skill, capable of detecting hidden information about Spirit Realm items, monsters, and even other items. If he said it was an elite monster, it was definitely correct.

Everyone felt a shiver of fear.

A level 3 elite, that’s really difficult to deal with.

Even if the six of them joined forces to win, it would be hard to avoid casualties.

Could it be that the man wearing the Atoman mask managed to kill a level 3 elite on his own!

How is this possible? Exactly how strong is he!

Su Yunbing’s expression continuously changed.
