Universe Infinite Canteen

Jinjian's last sentence was directed at his subordinates.

Meanwhile, the five members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group also prepared for battle, as Sadie fired twenty Thorns at the Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion above their heads.

All the Thorns pierced the body of the Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion, but it seemed immune to pain and continued to plunge downward.

In a critical moment, it was Seta's Sand Soil Puppet that crashed into the descending Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion, saving the squad below, but then two more Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpions came charging in.

One from the left and one from the right, brandishing their limbs, seething with killing intent.

Ma Lu and the others quickly retreated, only to see the Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion on the right speed up, reaching them first, then suddenly stiffening, frozen in place.

The Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion behind it, unable to slow down in time, also crashed into its companion.

[Yield While Turning: During battle, when one turns without yielding to those going straight and regardless of friend or foe, there is a 15% chance of being frozen in place for 5 seconds.]

This was another blue-field blessing similar to [Ban on Noise] that Ma Lu had obtained, and he didn't expect it to come to use so soon.

The Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion had turned from the right just in the path of its straight-moving companion, meeting the conditions for [Yield While Turning] and thus inviting divine punishment.

Taking advantage of the moment, Boggy thrust his spear forward, bursting one of the Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion's eyes that was frozen in place.

He then quickly pulled out the Mechanical Spear, rolled to the side to dodge the sharp, scythe-like legs of the other Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion, and took the opportunity to slide under its belly.

Striking again, this time the Mechanical Spear pierced right through the underbelly of the Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion.

Boggy let out a soft exclamation of surprise, feeling that these Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpions were not as strong as described in the textbooks; their movements were only slightly faster than a normal Hunter's and carried a hint of stiffness.

And with Ma Lu's enhancement, the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group had both speed and reaction time above those of the Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpions.

"They have wounds on them; they must have already been through a major fight. They are likely under someone's control now," Mai Mai said, "Jinjian is a Beast-Series Psychic Power User."

The psychic abilities of most Hunters are no secret, but Jinjian was clearly an exception; he seldom acted in front of others.

It was said that those who had seen him use his powers were either his close confidants or already dead.

Thus, this was the first time the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group witnessed his abilities.

Jinjian loudly reminded his men, "Be careful, there's someone in their team who can shoot spikes."

His voice had obviously exceeded 60 decibels, but unfortunately, it did not trigger [Ban on Noise].

Seta controlled a Sand Soil Puppet to fight with another Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion.

Thanks to the blessing of [Loyal Companion], the already advantageous strength of the Sand Soil Puppet grew even greater, and the boost in speed compensated for some of its lack of mobility, managing to suppress the Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion.

But as the members of Black Horn joined the fray, the pressure on the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group quickly mounted. If not for the concern of Sadie's Thorns, those guys would have swarmed them already.

Mai Mai knew she had to take action and opened her backpack, but Ma Lu pushed her hand down.

"Wait, you covered for me before, now it's my turn to cover for you."

"Vice Captain, I know you mean well, but this is really something you can't do for me," Mai Mai said tactfully.

"No, I really can do this!"

Ma Lu leaped out from behind the rocks where he was hiding, and immediately activated the effect of [Super Mimicry Show], designating Mai Mai as his target.

The next moment he felt a powerful current suddenly surge into his body!

It was an incredibly peculiar sensation, as if time had suddenly slowed down. With his body as the center, the electric current spread out like a wildly dancing dragon to the surroundings.

Ma Lu had an intense confidence that he could control these seemingly chaotic electrical currents. Then he pointed his hand in one direction—

The currents, like sharks that had caught the scent of blood, heeded his command and converged on that spot, encircling a Black Horn Hunter who was standing there.

Very quickly, the hunter began to shake like a sieve. He had difficulty breathing, his skin was burning, and he couldn't move an inch from where he stood. Before long, he began to emit a burnt smell.

Next, Ma Lu pointed towards another spot. There was another Black Horn hunter there who, sensing danger, had already retreated behind a rock pillar.

However, the cheerful currents still skirted around the pillar and found him, and soon he followed in his comrade's footsteps.

Ma Lu then turned his head towards a third target… but by this time, the people from Black Horn had also realized the danger.

Jinjian roared again, "Take out that guy who can electrocute first!"

But this time he wasn't so lucky. He triggered [Ban on Noise] and entered a 3-second paralysis state.

However, the rest had heard his command and launched their attacks at Ma Lu.

But to Ma Lu, their movements all seemed too slow. He dodged while moving, and even managed to give another lucky audience member an electric shock.

By now, Ma Lu fully understood why Captain Li had once said the electric field was terrifying.

Once this ability was unleashed, unless the opponent was prepared in advance, it was like having an invincibility mode with both offense and defense maxed out.

Mai Mai needed a large stack of batteries to assist when he activated the electric field.

But with the help of [Golden Blessing], Ma Lu could not only copy a designated target's ability, but also automatically meet the conditions needed to activate it, meaning he could electrocute without even needing batteries.

Furthermore, Ma Lu's electric field could last a full 30 seconds, which was far longer than Mai Mai's.

Right, a real man should last longer!

Ma Lu took out a total of 6 Black Horn Hunters, along with the two Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpions controlled by Jinjian, effectively clearing the field, before he exited the state of the electric field.

And unlike Mai Mai, Ma Lu had no Telekinesis, so he naturally did not suffer from the severe side-effects of exhausting psychic power after using the electric field, appearing still refreshed and spirited.

By this time, Jinjian had long recovered from his paralysis, but when he looked around, he found that none of his subordinates were still standing.

Finally, his complexion changed, and he said, with a mixture of shock and suspicion, "Who, who exactly are you people?"

Having dealt with the last Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion, Boggy approached Jinjian with his Mechanical Spear still dripping with blood.

"We have a few questions we'd like to ask Vice Captain Jinjian here."

"What questions." Jinjian took half a step back, but his retreat was blocked by a Sand Soil Puppet.
