Chapter 73: Chapter 73, She Can’t Hit Me, right? _i

The rumble of thunder appeared, like the signal to begin the war.

Whoosh-1

The crossbowmen who were already armed fired off their arrows and crossbow bolts.

They pierced the night sky, shooting towards the opposing side.

Thud thud thud-!

The sounds of arrows penetrating flesh rang out as the mercenaries on the other side immediately had three or four men fall to the ground, hit by arrows. Before they could cry out in pain, they were hit again by several arrows and fell silent.

The fuse at the feet had been burnt to the end.

Team two’s captain, Tulisa, stepped forward and swung the wand in her hand. Two balls of energy instantly enveloped the fuse of the thunder roll and turned it into solid ice within a second.

Boom boom-crack-!

The thunder roll exploded with a dull thud like a dud firework, only creating a web-like crack in the ice with a small amount of smoke seeping out from the cracks.

The battlefield remained unaffected.

“You have made a mistake. I am very angry now, which is not a good thing for your town…”

In the room, the man’s voice from the conversation just now could be heard. Whoosh-!

From the room across, the sound of arrows slicing through the air could be heard.

All squad members dodged while counterattacking.

Prepare the Poison Fog Thunder!” Team one’s leader, Anel, shouted.

Slyther glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

According to the information from Wu Heng, there might be children inside, and the Poison Fog Thunder could cause irreparable damage to young children. However, this shout still had a deterring effect on the people inside the room. “Babies, suck the blood of those men outside. Go, all of you, go out.” A man’s whispering voice could again be heard from inside the room.

Hum-Buzz!

Under the dim moonlight, a thick cloud of smoke seemed to surge out from the doors and windows across, accompanied by a buzzing sound, covering the entire courtyard in an instant.

“Be careful of the poisonous insects!” The scout standing on the wall shouted loudly.

Everyone’s faces changed immediately.

The poisonous insects, like dark clouds, had obscured the moonlight overhead. In the blink of an eye, a swarm of venomous insects enveloped several guards. “Ah~! It hurts, help!”

“What are these things, all bugs!”

The guard fell to the ground, rolling and scratching his body while beginning to remove his armor. He pulled out handfuls of poisonous insects.

“Pull him back.” The leader of the first team shouted.

He tore a scroll open and a flame crawled along his longsword. Then he swung his sword obliquely, and with a ‘whoosh’, a crescent-shaped flame was launched into the sky.

The second team’s leader took a deep breath; her chest bulged as she tilted her head back and exhaled a white mist into the air. This turned into raining down beads of frost that froze many of the black flying insects in their paths.

The rest of the team either used skills or scrolls.

At the same time, those who were covered with bugs were pulled back to the rear of the squad for help in dealing with the poisonous insects.

“They’re trying to escape!” The Ranger, who shared vision with a bird, shouted.

A few figures burst out from the house in front and rushed towards the walls on either side.

Whoosh-!

The arrows were fired again.

In an instant, several of the figures were pierced through.

“Kuro!” Slyther called out quietly.

The Cheetah at his feet transformed into a streak of light, charging out rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of a man. It leaped up, knocked the man down, and bit through his throat.

Then quickly, it rushed towards another man, clamped down on his ankle, and harshly yanked him down from the wall, biting into his throat.

One of them ran away.” The Ranger continued to shout.

“Teams one and two, follow me and chase them. Team three, clean up the battlefield, search for children.”

Whoosh-!

Everyone got into action according to the orders.

Hmph! If it wasn’t for Yazde suddenly coming over, my aunt would have been the executive of Black Stone Town.” Yuli crossed her legs, feeling indignant. “The association appointed him, you make it sound like you were the one being assigned.” Wu Heng plainly stated.

“It should have been my aunt to begin with, it was only because Yazde was suddenly assigned here that he took over the position, you know nothing.” Yuli said resentfully.

Slyther did have some influence in Black Stone Town.

He had connections in both the underworld and mainstream society. Such a person must be given a position, otherwise, letting her be a criminal gang leader would be even more trouble.

“Oh, is that so?” Wu Heng replied casually, no longer interested in arguing about it.

Who became the executive, he didn’t care. It had nothing to do with him. “Hmmph, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you.” Yuli leaned in, continuing, “That skill of yours that lets the dead talk is pretty useful’ makes investigating murders simple, doesn’t it?”

“That may be true, but we absolutely can’t let anyone know. If the murderers learn about it, destroying the bodies won’t help them either. When a pile of mashed flesh starts talking, it’s pretty terrifying!”

“Ew-! That’s really disgusting the way you put it.”

“Just a metaphor. We need to keep this secret, silently making big moves.”

“Alright, I’ll join you for investigations next time!”

While the two were talking, Xiao Xiao, in his invisible form, flew straight back into his body.

The next second, the scene from the recent battle came to mind.

Thud!

At the same time, a sound of a heavy object falling came from outside the window.

Wu Heng and Yuli looked out the window to see a medium-sized man had directly climbed into the courtyard.

Yuli furrowed her brows.

Wu Heng drew his gun straight away and pulled the trigger, ‘Bang, bang, bang’! The piercing sound of gunfire sliced through the night sky. With the effect of the Hunting ring’, his shooting accuracy had greatly improved.

In an instant, several bullets hit his body.

Basen leaped down from the second floor, pouncing on the shot enemy.

Yuh also reacted, instantly turning into a carrion crow and flying down, then turning into a huge bear, rushing towards the man.

The man looked in horror at the scene before him.

He couldn’t understand why there was an ambush here.

Thump, Thump, Thump!!

The giant bear rushed forward at a fast pace, directly pushing the man against the wall. &

The man’s body slid down the wall.

The giant bear crouched and its paw loudly hit the man’s chest.

At this moment, Slyther also rushed in with his team, glanced at the body on the ground, and slightly waved his hand.

Immediately someone came forward to check, “He’s dead.”

Slyther also sighed in relief.

He glanced at Yuli and Wu Heng.

He spoke to the team behind him, “Check the area, clean up the battlefield.”

Everyone scattered immediately, starting to act according to the command.

Soon, the squad and the guards finished their tasks.

All enemies were killed, and no other suspicious targets were found.

The enemies’ bodies were loaded onto carts, ready to be transported back.

Their leader, Tulisa, led Wu Heng to another cart, pulling open the curtain to reveal three figures inside.

“The three children are safe, just passed out. Tomorrow, have their parents collect them from the town office.”

“Oh, okay, thank you, Captain Tulisa.”

“Next time there’s trouble, consult with your leader first. Don’t go running around with Yuli. The vice-executive will likely contact you tomorrow!” Tulisa continued.

Wu Heng glanced back and saw Yuli boarding the carriage.

She didn’t forget to wave goodbye to him.

Wu Heng also waved back.

Tulisa let down the curtain, continuing, “Let’s go, be careful on your way back.”

“Okay.”

The squad left, escorting the cart.

Wu Heng also left with Basen, heading towards the crowded area.

The next day, Wu Heng went to see the landlord first.

He told him about finding the children and that they can be picked up from the town office.

He found all three, so he asked the landlord to see if anyone else was missing; they could go together.

Hearing this news, the landlord was somewhat surprised.

The guards hadn’t found them and had encouraged the parents to give up, but Wu Heng managed to find them.

That too, so quickly!

He had underestimated his tenant.

After a round of awkward praise, the landlord went to notify the children’s mothers.

Wu Heng, too, planned to return to the Zombie World.

However, just as he started walking, he saw Yuli standing in the doorway, her eyes a little red, “Are you looking for me?”

“My aunt is looking for you.”

“Ah? Because of yesterday’s Incident?”

Yuli nodded.

“Did she hit you?”

Yuli nodded again.

“Well, she can’t hit me, right?”
