Chapter 691

Explosive Trap

Drip, drop—— Drip, drop...

Fine raindrops rolled down along the eaves on both sides of the street. In the reflection of the rippling water surface, three Silver Phantoms almost as tall as a two-story building, were slowly turning their heads, their flat, smooth faces locking onto a certain direction.

Kong Baosheng's Adam's apple rolled, beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.

This was the first time Kong Baosheng had seen a Silver Phantom, but the other party's silver body, faceless visage, and limbs so slender they made one's scalp tingle, all brought him an extremely strong sense of oppression. With just one look at each other, he was scared into trembling all over!

The Silver Phantoms, which were searching the whole city for humans, saw Kong Baosheng and the others as well as the fleet not far away at this moment, instantly activating like super machines!

They rapidly spread their slender legs, their tall bodies tearing through the rain curtain, flying close to the ground like silver locusts, sprinting towards here!

Huang Suyue, who had just finished deployment and was preparing to evacuate, turned her head and saw this scene, her pupils contracting slightly!

"Careful!!"

He turned his head to Kong Baosheng and said:

"Quick! First go find a random building to hide in!!"

As his voice fell, he rapidly rushed to meet those two Silver Phantoms!

Kong Baosheng also reacted extremely quickly. Although his hands and feet were already numb from fear at this moment, he still staggered and rushed headlong into a shop by the street, lying on the edge of a table, carefully observing the situation outside through the corner of the window.

That bodyguard seemed to be a Path of the Scholar God possessor. In the void around him, various Ink and Brush characters lingered. With a light lift of his fingertips, those characters scattered and flew out like bullets, emitting humming sounds as they tore through the air!

These characters hit the three sprinting Silver Phantoms, making clanging sounds. Blinding sparks splattered, and their speed was forced to slow down.

"Miss!" Another bodyguard nervously turned his head to look at Huang Suyue.

The Huang Consortium was only an emerging consortium, its foundation far less profound than the other major consortia. In this fleet following Huang Suyue, there was only a total of one Third Tier and three Second-Tier. This Path of the Scholar God currently fighting the Silver Phantoms was already the pillar of the fleet.

But even so, in a one-against-three situation, that bodyguard could only fight to a draw. Trying to counter-kill the three Silver Phantoms was estimated to have a slim chance.

"Don't panic, act according to plan."

Huang Suyue's brows furrowed tightly. She didn't expect this group of Silver Phantoms to come so quickly. Fortunately, they had already completed the deployment of two traps, so it wasn't considered being completely unprepared.

Taking advantage of that Third Tier bodyguard holding back the Silver Phantoms, Huang Suyue and the others immediately retreated into the nearby Jinghong Theater, temporarily hiding their figures.

At the same time, a bodyguard took out two Detonators:

"Miss, this one on the left is the Detonator for the Dessert Shop next door, the one on the right is for the Hardware Store diagonally opposite. Which one are we using in a bit?"

"Watch which one Little Five goes to in a bit, and detonate that one." Huang Suyue spoke solemnly, "Remember, wait until Little Five escapes the explosion range before pressing the Detonator."

"Understood!"

While the two were talking, that bodyguard "Little Five" fighting one against three, saw Huang Suyue and the others hide from the corner of his eye, and knew the plan was proceeding normally. While resisting the combined attacks of the three Silver Phantoms, he pretended to be exhausted and retreated backwards.

And not far behind him, was the Hardware Store where a large amount of Explosives had been buried in advance.

Seeming to sense the reduction in the bodyguard's Combat Power, the attacks of the three Silver Phantoms became increasingly fierce. Their arms began to evolve into roaring chainsaws. The sharp sawtooth rapidly cut through the air, closely following with unstoppable force as they rushed into the Hardware Store!

With consecutive swings of the sawtooth, the main door and pillars of the Hardware Store fragilely crumbled like paper. Incomplete stone dregs splattered in the narrow space.

They rushed into the dust-flying interior of the Hardware Store, and chased the bodyguard crashing into the Warehouse. As soon as they entered, they saw a massive amount of gray Explosives filling every corner of the Warehouse, almost stuffing this place full!

"——Halt!!"

A huge character drilled out from the bodyguard's body, inflating against the wind, instantly freezing the three Silver Phantoms in place!

In the next moment, he abruptly broke out through the window, his footsteps treading the trajectory of a 'left-falling stroke' and a 'right-falling stroke', blinking and sweeping over a hundred meters away, at the same time shouting: "Do it!!"

Boom——!!!

As the other bodyguard pressed the Detonator, Explosives sufficient to blow up the foundations of several buildings, exploded with a boom in the narrow Warehouse. The terrifying impact force instantly tore the Hardware Store along with several surrounding shops into pieces, monstrous firelight surging out!

The shockwave of the explosion swept across the street, directly shattering the window of the shop Kong Baosheng was hiding in. A large amount of broken glass dregs fell clinking and clanging onto the table in front of him, his eyes filled with shock.

"This..."

He finally knew what Huang Suyue and the others were doing just now...

The terrifying impact force nearly overturned Huang Suyue hiding behind the Jinghong Theater's main door as well. Fortunately, the two bodyguards supported her figure, so she wasn't injured... Huang Suyue had no time to care about her already ringing ears. After climbing up with difficulty, she cast her gaze towards the ruins with rolling black smoke.

In the hearts of Huang Suyue and the other few bodyguards, they were extremely nervous.

At the very beginning, Huang Suyue hadn't seen Silver Phantoms, nor had she fought them, so she didn't know exactly how much Explosives should be placed at once... To be safe, she could only maximize the amount of Explosives in every single trap as much as possible. She would rather lay out a few fewer traps, but also ensure that absolute lethal damage could be dealt every time!

Looking at it now, Huang Suyue's decision was undoubtedly wise;

As the rolling thick smoke dispersed, the corpses of two Silver Phantoms blown to pieces had already fallen in the ruins.

And there was one more Silver Phantom, perhaps due to hiding behind the other two, it wasn't blown to pieces on the spot, but was left with half its body, still crawling with difficulty in the ruins...

Although it had no facial features, the silver on its body surface was constantly rippling, as if in anger. It constantly turned its head wanting to find the position of the culprit, but its stiff body didn't listen to commands.

"Die!!"

That Third Tier bodyguard descended from the sky, carrying a huge "Die" character, smashing the last Silver Phantom's head into pieces with a bang!

The three Silver Phantoms, completely wiped out.

Huang Suyue let out a long sigh of relief.

She calmed her nervous mood and walked out from within the Jinghong Theater. Unsuppressible joy surfaced on the faces of the two bodyguards at the side: "Miss, your plan worked, we killed three monsters!"

"...Don't drop your guard." Huang Suyue's gaze swept across the surroundings, finally landing on the shop ruins with rolling thick smoke,

"Us detonating the Explosives, the commotion isn't small, it's very likely to attract other monsters... Besides Little Five, all other personnel immediately retreat to the Shelter, to prevent any accidents."
