74: Chapter 74 Sending You On Your Way

One had a tiger's body and a human head, a sturdy build, covered in black fur, with fangs exposed.

The other had a bear's body and a human face, with a massive frame, rough, tough skin, and a ferocious gaze.

"Hahaha, you fell for it, didn't you?" Fox Woman laughed seductively, her tail swaying gently. "I thought you were so impressive, but it turns out you couldn't even escape my Charm Hallucination Poison."

The corners of Chen Ye's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a look of disdain, his eyes cold. "Do you really think this is enough to control me?"

The smile on Fox Woman's face stiffened, and she looked astonished. "You... how can you break free from my hallucination poison? Even a mid-second-tier Superpower user would be lost for a while under my poison!"

Chen Ye offered no extra explanation; his 185 points of Basic Strength erupted instantly, his muscles tensed, and his bones emitted faint cracking sounds.

He exerted force suddenly, struggling with his legs.

"Rip!" The incredibly tough spider silk was instantly torn apart by his strength, breaking into several pieces and scattering to the ground.

"Oh no!" Spider Woman's expression changed abruptly, and she exclaimed.

She wanted to spray spider silk again, but it was already too late.

Chen Ye flashed, instantly rushing to Shangguan Lingyue's side, intending to pull her away to safety.

But the tiger-bodied mutant lunged over, its sharp claws carrying a foul wind, clawing fiercely at Chen Ye's back.

Chen Ye's eyes sharpened, and he dodged to the side.

At the same time, he swung his blade in a counterattack, the short blade crackling with Thunder Light as it slashed viciously toward the tiger-bodied mutant's neck.

Just then, Fox Woman's tail suddenly elongated out of thin air.

Like a flexible whip, it attacked silently from behind Chen Ye.

The tip of the tail bore a sharp bone spur, gleaming with a cold light, aiming precisely for Chen Ye's heart!

"Watch out!" Shangguan Lingyue screamed in fright.

Chen Ye instinctively turned and swung his blade.

With a "clang," the short blade precisely blocked Fox Woman's tail, the bone spur colliding with the blade.

Seeing that her attack failed, Fox Woman reacted extremely quickly.

Her tail whipped upward rapidly, then lashed out with tremendous force, sending Chen Ye flying!

"Bang!" Chen Ye was thrown straight out of the window; the glass shattered instantly, and shards flew everywhere.

"Are you crazy?! Why did you knock him out? If he gets away, the boss won't spare us!" the tiger-bodied man saw this and scolded Fox Woman with an angry face.

Fox Woman curled her lip, her tone impatient. "If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself? You only know how to bark here. Why didn't you stop him when he broke free from the spider silk earlier?"

The tiger-bodied man hesitated, not knowing how to answer, and then turned to look at Spider Woman. "Didn't you say your spider silk could trap even a third-tier Superpower user? How could he break free so easily?"

Spider Woman looked aggrieved. "How would I know!"

But then, a playful smile hung on her face, her tone sultry. "My spider silk is poisonous. Since he was entangled by it earlier, he must have been infected by my deadly poison."

"The mutated beasts outside have all woken up. Even if he escapes, he won't live for long!"

Fox Woman frowned, her tone skeptical. "Are you sure that lousy poison of yours will work?"

"Of course!" Spider Woman said confidently. "At the very least, it's more useful than that charm poison of yours!"

Fox Woman was immediately enraged by this remark; her tail stood up in an attack stance, and she hissed, "What did you say, you stinking wench? Watch out, or I'll kill you!"

Spider Woman's aura was not inferior in the slightest. "Bring it on, I've been annoyed with you for a long time!"

Meanwhile, the others whispered on the sidelines: "Scatter quickly, these women are always causing trouble when they're together!"

"Quick, quick, go chase that man. Let them fight if they want!"

Meanwhile, Shangguan Lingyue, looking at the window where Chen Ye had fallen, felt tears welling up instantly and murmured helplessly, "Chen Ye..."

Despair spread through her mind like a tide.

She thought that since Chen Ye had already escaped, it was highly unlikely he would return to save her.

She had helped Chen Ye just now, so these mutants would definitely not let her go.

What awaited her would only be a miserable death.

She trembled all over, tears sliding down her fair cheeks, her eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

Her gauze-like clothes clung to her body, outlining her slender and delicate curves, making her look disheveled yet pitiable.

On the other hand, Chen Ye had just crashed heavily onto the ground on the side of the restaurant, and a sharp pain surged through his body.

He struggled to get up, feeling weak all over, dizzy, and with a tightness in his chest.

He could clearly feel that, besides the remnants of the Charm Hallucination Poison he had inhaled earlier, there was also the deadly poison from Spider Woman's spider silk; the two toxins were intertwined, spreading rapidly through his blood.

This made the circulation of his Superpower become sluggish.

"It's a good thing my Healing Ability has already reached the second tier, otherwise I would have really been done for this time," Chen Ye murmured to himself.

He immediately activated his second-tier Healing Ability, and a pale green light frantically swirled around his body, clearing the two toxins from his system bit by bit.

His Healing Ability worked at high speed, the toxins in his body gradually faded, the dizziness slowly subsided, and his Superpower circulation returned to normal.

He inwardly marveled that although the abilities of these human mutants were bizarre, their actual strength was not that great.

But at the same time, a greater doubt arose in his mind: since the ones being held here were not the real Shen Jiaojiao and Liu Lingwei, why did these mutants specifically transform into their likenesses?

And they acted as if they had known he would come, setting such a trap. Could it be that someone had intentionally lured him here?

"But one thing is basically certain: I am indeed currently in a hallucination!"

Countless questions swirled in his mind; Chen Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts in his heart.

Now was not the time to think about these things; Shangguan Lingyue was still inside.

After the toxins in his body were completely cleared, Chen Ye gripped his short blade tightly.

He activated 185 points of Basic Strength, pushed off hard with his feet, and his body shot up like an arrow from a bow, leaping high and landing steadily at the second-floor window.

With a flash, he rushed into the private room again.

The mutants in the private room were just preparing to go downstairs to pursue Chen Ye when they saw him suddenly jump in through the window.

They were all shocked, their smug expressions instantly vanishing, replaced by disbelief.

"How... how did he come back?!"

"Didn't he get hit by the spider silk poison? How is he completely fine?"

Spider Woman opened her mouth wide, unable to believe it. "What other trump cards are you hiding? No one can cure my poison!"

Chen Ye couldn't be bothered to waste words with them, his eyes landing directly on Shangguan Lingyue.

When Shangguan Lingyue saw Chen Ye, the despair in her eyes was instantly replaced by joy.

She had never dreamed that Chen Ye would return for her; at this moment, the palpitations in her heart could no longer be hidden.

Tears still hung on her cheeks, but she couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, her voice choked with emotion. "Chen Ye... you came back..."

Chen Ye said in a teasing tone, "Hello, were you looking for me?"

Everyone felt his mocking tone, and their expressions began to turn vicious.

"You are really looking for death, actually daring to come back!" Fox Woman said, grinding her teeth as well, and then the tail behind her rose high again, ready to fight.

Chen Ye replied in a cold, icy tone, "If I didn't come back, who would send you on your way?"
