Chapter 403: Petrification
The snake woman looked at her empty hands, then at the three familiar boxes in front of Lin Qiye, her expression falling into a daze.
Could those be…
No,
It’s impossible!
When did he…
Lin Qiye seemed to see the doubts in her heart and calmly said, “Aren’t you curious how I managed all of this?”
He turned the three boxes in front of him, revealing that each corner was engraved with an inconspicuous array mark, small in scale, with somewhat uneven edges, as if carved with some tool.
“In terms of tactics and schemes, you two are still far behind,” Lin Qiye said lightly.
Long before Lin Qiye and An Qingyu realized the existence of the Ancient God Church, they had guessed that the confidence these two had in laying traps for the [Phoenix] team came from these three mysterious black boxes. Therefore, when formulating tactics, their primary consideration was how to eliminate the potential danger posed by these boxes.
Lin Qiye and his companions did not have the advantage in strength, location, or time, so the only resources they could utilize were the time and information gaps between the two members of the Ancient God Church, as well as the fact that everyone was wearing masks.
Thus, when they passed a certain building, Lin Qiye summoned Li Yifei from the mental hospital, had him put on his coat and mask, and take on the identity of Sun Wukong to continue to lower the guard of the two from the Ancient God Church. Meanwhile, he transformed into a mouse using a transformation spell and blended into a swarm of mice, executing a clever escape.
Although this shocked An Qingyu greatly, Lin Qiye managed to cover it up with the excuse of summoning magic, without exposing the existence of the gods’ mental hospital.
Of course, this incident could not be blamed on the two from the Ancient God Church; after all, who would have thought that these five people, who had originally entered the fog, could suddenly have one more appear out of nowhere, while one of them could conceal their form and slip into a visual blind spot…
After transforming into a mouse, Lin Qiye’s first task was to reach the location of the two members of the Ancient God Church, quietly leaving his summoning magic on the three black boxes, and then silently slipping away. In doing so, he resolved the danger posed by the black boxes while continuing to keep them relaxed, buying more time for his side.
What happened next was a natural progression. Seeing that Bai Li Pangpang and the others had gathered together, the snake woman took the initiative to attack, while the agent controlling the sandstorm chased after the “bait.” Taking advantage of this time gap, Lin Qiye found the hidden [Bell Crande] and directly killed it.
This was a tactic racing against time.
Everything was within the calculations of Lin Qiye and An Qingyu.
Bai Li Pangpang stared blankly at the black boxes in front of Lin Qiye, admiration flickering in his eyes. Although he didn’t quite understand what Lin Qiye had done, it felt like something extraordinary…
Lin Qiye removed his hand from the black boxes, his gaze calmly fixed on the pale-faced snake woman, slowly parting his cracked lips, “Kill her.”
He did not plan to use these black boxes against the snake woman for now. If they contained terrifying weapons that could threaten special teams, it would be too wasteful to expend them on a snake woman who was destined to be unable to escape.
These boxes had other uses.
“Hehehehe…”
The madman Cao Yuan was like an unwearied battle machine, enveloped in terrifying murderous flames, charging at the snake woman again and again.
Once Lin Qiye restricted the snake woman’s teleportation range to such a small area, her mobility significantly decreased. Even though she could still evade Cao Yuan’s attacks using her snake eyes to teleport, wherever her body teleported to, it would fall within the attack range of the other two.
The snake woman, who had originally played with the others like a cat with a mouse, had now become the victim of a ruthless whack-a-mole game played by the trio…
It was evident that the one enjoying the game the most among the three was the madman Cao Yuan, as Lin Qiye could clearly sense that his maniacal laughter had increased several decibels, becoming even more arrogant.
Under the siege, the snake woman’s wounds multiplied, and her teleportation speed slowed. Just as she teleported near Lin Qiye again, a straight blade of light flashed in the air, slashing down with a spark of electricity!
The blade cut a gash on the snake woman’s shoulder, and immediately, a surge of lightning flooded into her body, instantly paralyzing her!
Lin Qiye’s figure was summoned to her side, and the second straight blade accurately pierced her back, as the ultimate darkness rapidly eroded her insides. The snake woman’s expression twisted in agony, and she began to wail in pain.
“Damn it, damn it!!” the snake woman screamed hysterically, “I’m going to die, and you won’t live either!”
Before Lin Qiye could strike again, she suddenly pressed her hands against her eye sockets, exerting force, and two clear yellow, eerie snake eyes appeared in her hands!
Blood trickled down from her hollow eye sockets as she grinned wickedly, raising the two eyeballs above her head. In the next moment, the snake eyes densely packed on the surrounding walls seemed to come alive, emitting a strange glow, their vertical pupils quivering and moving around as if searching for something.
Then, thousands of petrified snake eyes simultaneously locked onto Lin Qiye and the others below.
The skin of everyone began to turn gray, rapidly petrifying.
“Not good!” Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed, and the chaotic magic cube in his hand began to spin, preparing to disrupt the positions of these walls.
However, the twisting of the chaotic magic cube also required time; it was impossible to move all the walls in an instant. Just then, countless cracks suddenly spread across the surrounding walls.
Lin Qiye turned to see that the katana in Molly’s hand had already been plunged into the ground. One hand was clutching her blood-soaked abdomen, her face pale as if she could collapse at any moment, but her other hand gripped the sword hilt tightly, pouring all her mental energy into [Universal Frequency Movement].
Crack, crack, crack—!!
Boom—!!
The walls beneath everyone’s feet suddenly shattered, collapsing downwards under the force of gravity!
Since the layouts of the twenty-second and twenty-third floors had already been disrupted by the chaotic magic cube, floating independently in the night sky, when the walls beneath them broke apart, everyone found themselves not on the twenty-first floor, but in empty high air.
The howling wind whipped against their faces, and a strong sense of weightlessness enveloped everyone’s minds. Molly, her face as pale as paper, finally reached her limit, her heavy eyelids slowly closing as she plummeted headfirst!
“Molly!!”
Bai Li Pangpang shouted, a golden light bursting forth from his chest, transforming into a flying sword beneath his feet, racing towards the falling Molly!
