Chapter 265: Three Bandit Sisters

Gangshi strode quickly to Ami, who was directing the team, and asked urgently, "Ami, what happened? Why did you sound the warning whistle?"

Ami, while assigning tasks to several members of the Diamond Team, turned back at the sound, her face full of anxiety: "Captain Gangshi, it's poachers! A group of poachers has reached the Mysterious Horn Deer herd's habitat and even attacked two newly evolved Mysterious Horn Deer!"

"How's the situation now? The Mysterious Horn Deer herd is okay, right?" Gangshi's greatest worry is still the herd's safety, especially the Mysterious Antler Deer King that carries Abnormal Energy.

Ami's gaze flicked past Huo La beside Gangshi, then she sighed: "The Mysterious Horn Deer herd is fine, and those two Mysterious Horn Deer were rescued in time. But…"

She paused, her tone growing heavier, "Those poachers are now surrounded by the angry Mysterious Horn Deer herd and can't break out."

"Uh…" Gangshi was stunned, a bit confused, "Since the herd is fine and the poachers are surrounded, you sounded the alarm to…"

"It's the Mysterious Antler Deer King!" Ami's voice rose sharply, "It saw the poachers harming the Mysterious Horn Deer, its emotions completely lost control, and now shows clear signs of frenzy; the PurpleGoldLight on its antlers is several times brighter than before!"

"We're gathering forces, hoping to rescue those poachers before it fully goes berserk—if we wait until it completely loses control, not only the poachers will die, the entire Mysterious Horn Deer herd could be implicated!"

"Signs of frenzy?!" Huo La's heart jolted, instantly recalling Ami's words last night about "the Mysterious Antler Deer King forcing energy into its antlers"; now its emotions are out of control, it will inevitably cause those Time and Space Anti-Matter energies to erupt completely.

He immediately looked at Gangshi, his tone urgent: "Captain Gangshi, we can't delay! Let's go right now, we must stabilize the situation before it fully goes berserk!"

"Alright!" Gangshi didn't hesitate, ordering Ami, "Continue organizing the team for outer support; Huo La and I will go first to steady the Mysterious Antler Deer King!"

Within the Mysterious Horn Deer herd's habitat, the atmosphere was tense.

Three women with their faces covered were encircled by dozens of angry Mysterious Horn Deer, the circle tightening; several adult Mysterious Horn Deer lowered their heads, pointing their sharp antlers at them, emitting low warning sounds.

In the center of the crowd, the Mysterious Antler Deer King's eyes swirled with Red, staring intently at the unwelcome intruders.

Its front hooves continuously scratched the ground, flinging mud, and its heavy snort exhaled into the air, carrying suppressed fury.

On the massive antlers atop its head, the PurpleGoldLight grew ever denser, several times brighter than Huo La had seen before, and even emitted a faint low hum, like a prelude to energy spilling out.

"Big sister, what's… what's going on?" the woman with a blue skyward braid clutched her dagger tightly, her voice trembling faintly, eyes on the surrounding predatory Mysterious Horn Deer, her complexion turning white.

They had intended to exploit the herd's lowered vigilance at dawn to stealthily snatch two newly evolved fawns, but they didn't anticipate that the disturbance would alarm the herd; not only were they surrounded by adult Mysterious Horn Deer, but they also drew the Mysterious Antler Deer King toward them.

The woman called Big sister calmly surveyed the surroundings, her brows knit, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the edge of the Pokeball hanging at her waist, her gaze flicking rapidly between the Mysterious Horn Deer herd and the approaching silhouettes in the distance.

The woman beside her with a plaited braid hurried forward, her voice pressed low, full of anxiety: "Big sister, what do we do now? The herd's circle is tightening, and it seems more people are coming from outside!"

"A Zhu, A Mei, at this point there's no other way out." Big sister's tone was cold, her gaze sweeping the two beside her, "The Diamond Team has arrived; we can only force our way out. Prepare for battle, release all the Pokemon."

She said this while her hand clenched the Pokeball hanging at her waist, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, the encircling Mysterious Horn Deer herd suddenly grew restless, pawing the ground anxiously, shaking their heads, instinctively stepping back a little.

Immediately after, Gangshi, Huo La, and Ami slipped through the gap the herd yielded, standing steadily behind the Mysterious Antler Deer King.

Ami stared at the three masked women, her face as cold as ice, gritting her teeth, "Three Bandit Sisters, it's you again! How dare you scheme against the Mysterious Horn Deer herd!"

"Hmph, you all are way too nosy."

Huo La, seeing this, quietly moved closer to Gangshi and whispered to ask about the situation.

Gangshi lowered his voice to explain, while keeping a wary eye on the Three Bandit Sisters: "Huo La, these three are the Three Bandit Sisters who have been causing trouble in the Hisui Region. They previously belonged respectively to the Galaxy Team, Diamond Team, and Pearl Team, but after certain events left their squads, they banded together as fugitives, continuously committing crimes and causing destruction throughout the Hisui Region."

Huo La nodded, his gaze landing on the Three Bandit Sisters, then glancing at the critically endangered Mysterious Antler Deer King beside him—its Red eyes grew ever deeper, the PurpleGoldLight on its antlers flickered erratically as anger surged, the hum grew louder, clearly provoked by the current situation and ready to go berserk at any moment.

"You'd better surrender immediately and give yourselves up!" Ami stepped forward, her Pokeball clenched tightly, "Otherwise, once the Mysterious Antler Deer King fully loses control, none of you will escape!"

Big sister A Song let out a snort, then hurled her Pokeball into the air: "Out of control? Surrender? Dream on! Since you're here, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Horned Tyrant, crush them for me!" Accompanied by a roar, Red Light burst, and a massive Horned Tyrant slammed onto the ground, its sturdy limbs causing the earth to tremble slightly, its towering horn gleaming with a cold sheen, its fierce gaze sweeping the surrounding Mysterious Horn Deer.

A Zhu and A Mei, seeing this, immediately threw Pokeballs, shouting in unison, "Blizzard King, freeze them!"

"Poison Skull Frog, use poison!"

The Blizzard King's towering body materialized with a biting chill, instantly coating its surroundings with fine shards of ice; the Poison Skull Frog crouched on the ground, its swollen poison sac continuously oozing purple toxin, the air filled with a pungent odor.

"Bad, the Mysterious Antler Deer King!" Gangshi's complexion changed dramatically as he shouted sternly.

Before his words finished, the Mysterious Antler Deer King completely lost control.

It suddenly reared its head and let out a long, wild howl, its voice bleak and frenzied, the last hint of clarity in its eyes fully drowned by scarlet.

The antlers atop its head were completely enveloped by dense PurpleGoldLight, which spread like a living thing along its neck and limbs, dyeing most of its body a strange purple‑gold hue.

The next second, the aberration surged suddenly.

Countless tiny Electric Lights burst wildly from the PurpleGold antlers, the crackling of electricity filling the entire forest.

These Electric Lights quickly converged in midair, and in an instant formed a dense thundercloud above the Three Bandit Sisters' heads, a deep rumble of thunder rolling down, shaking eardrums.

"Whoa, Thunder!" Huo La stepped back two paces, frightened by the scene.

As soon as the words ended, countless massive bolts of lightning thundered down from the cloud, bearing world‑shattering force, slashing fiercely toward the Three Bandit Sisters and their Pokemon.
