Chapter 427: Chapter 302: The Experience Panel’s Bug

A sound like ice dropped into boiling oil sizzled through the air.

The black-robed man was completely engulfed by the silvery-white lightning.

Hu Yun’s jade-like face was a mask of calm. She suddenly appeared from Concealment, stomped her feet, and shot into the air.

BOOM!

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to rage at her approach.

The black thunderclouds collided.

Silvery-white lightning brewed within the clouds. CRACK—

Three streaks of purple lightning tore through the air, reaching the space above Hu Yun’s head in less than a microsecond.

WHOOSH!

Hu Yun used Instant Step, and the lightning followed.

On the ground, the silvery-white lightning dissipated.

Two black-robed men were twitching uncontrollably in place.

Hu Yun appeared right behind them, lightly placing her hands on their backs, over their hearts.

The two black-robed men, having been baptized by lightning, had yet to recover from their paralysis and showed no reaction.

The Z-shaped purple lightning came in pursuit.

SIZZLE!

The purple lightning was clearly more powerful.

Hu Yun’s body trembled as the purple lightning passed through her metal armor and discharged completely into the black-robed men.

The two brawny men began to shudder violently.

It was a shuddering far more extreme and bizarre than any yoga pose!

They were like small saplings that had just been planted, only to be maliciously shaken.

"I’m here!"

In the distance, rumbling black clouds chased after Hu Niannian, who was frantically using Instant Step.

"Get ready to cover me!"

it shouted again.

Then, with another Instant Step, it appeared above the two black-robed men, who were now charred black from the electricity.

WHOOSH!

Tang Wen took a risk and appeared directly in front of the two men.

Hu Niannian quickly shrank, and Tang Wen grabbed its tail, using Instant Step to get away.

The terrifying lightning that had been pursuing it lost its target and blasted straight down.

The two black-robed men took the full brunt of it.

They repeated this cycle three times.

The Three-headed White Tiger, Hu Yun, and the Thunder Rock Crocodile Turtle took turns drawing the lightning.

When Hu Yun and the others stopped and returned to their state of Concealment,

the black-robed men, with their powerful physiques, lay on the ground like heaps of mud.

As for the Extraordinary Level Tracking Mouse, it had been turned to charcoal in the very first round of lightning.

The smell of cooked meat filled the air.

Feng San Niang covered her nose and mouth, pulling Tang Wen upwind. Together with Hu Yun and the others, she stared at the two charred bodies that still twitched from time to time.

"Their physical bodies seem to be at the Peak of Fifth Grade." Hu Yun, experienced in electrocuting people, made her judgment, seeing that the two weren’t completely dead yet.

"And it seems they can only fight in close combat."

Everyone had noticed that.

"They aren’t normal Fifth Grade experts. The Huang Family sent a full seven of them, but..." Hu Yun frowned, remembering something.

Tang Wen said, "The Huang Family is said to possess a legendary Curiosity called the Flesh Factory. I suspect they’ve Mastered some method of cultivating these Fifth Grade men in black!"

Hu Yun’s expression changed slightly. "Really?! Then we must get to the bottom of this."

After a pause, she emphasized, "This is very important."

Tang Wen nodded and scooped up the vigorously nodding Hu Niannian, giving it a couple of pets.

Looking at the five Peak Fifth Grade experts before him, he smiled. "We have enough combat power, plus our Concealment ability. We can start actively hunting them! The Huang Family couldn’t have just sent these mindless goons. There must be a leader."

Feng San Niang offered a reminder, "A direct descendant of the Huang Family is participating in the trial. Could they be the ones pulling the strings from behind?"

"Then they’re just unlucky." Tang Wen waved his hand dismissively.

’It doesn’t matter if they’re involved or not. We’ll just capture them first and interrogate them later.’

"Huh? Are those two healing themselves?" Hu Niannian extended a small paw, its tone filled with astonishment, as if it had just witnessed something incredible.

Tang Wen looked over and saw that a blood-red glow had appeared on the two men’s bodies at some point.

The red light grew brighter and brighter, completely enveloping their bodies.

Accompanying it was a thick, metallic scent of blood.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

Their heartbeats returned, the sound growing steadily stronger and more powerful.

"What is this?"

"It seems they’re not just skilled in close combat. The resilience of their physical bodies is just absurd."

It was easy to figure out. The lightning had struck them down.

Their flesh had been cooked to the point of smelling fragrant, yet they could still recover.

If they actually managed to get close for a melee, even a Senior Fifth Grade expert would likely be worn down and killed in the struggle.

After all, they could heal from such grievous injuries. The minor exertion and damage from close combat would be utterly insignificant to them.

"They specialize in head-on confrontations, and their recovery ability is terrifying," Hu Yun said, her tone grave and filled with a strange sense of wonder.

If any other Fifth Grade expert, even a White Tiger, had been pierced by dozens of lightning bolts, they wouldn’t have been able to take it. If they didn’t die, they’d be nursing their wounds for a very long time.

Tang Wen looked at Hu Yun. "Does the White Tiger Tribe need people like this?"

"Desperately! The moment those two saw you, they charged straight at you without a second thought. Reckless, but unafraid of death." Hu Yun’s expression was complex. "If our tribe had a group of experts like this, we could roam the Ten Thousand Mountains as we pleased!"

’Yes, whether it’s ordinary people or White Tigers, their thoughts and considerations are much more complicated.’

’Once their minds get cluttered with calculations of profit and loss, the concept of being unafraid of death usually goes out the window.’

’When faced with a tough opponent, no one wants to risk their life.’

’It’s a survival instinct.’

’But these Fifth Grade men in black clearly didn’t have such messy thoughts.’

’Their strategy for dealing with enemies could be summed up in a single word: "Attack!"’

Tang Wen said, "The Huang Family’s training methods are very successful."

"We must get our hands on their cultivation methods. If I had known the Huang Family possessed such means, I wouldn’t have come alone!" A murderous intent was hidden in Hu Yun’s calm tone.

"Our top priority now is to find out their origins and obtain the cultivation method."

Hearing this, Tang Wen immediately took out the [Unity Mirror].

Hu Yun paused for a moment, then the corners of her mouth curved up. ’Hu Lan is certainly good to him.’
