Chapter 97 The Sniper Reappears
When the worm was hit, the tiny lenses that were originally suspended around it also lost their support and fell to the ground. The whole world seemed to have recovered its clarity as if it had rained heavily.
Everything was still the same, but everything was different.
Liu Yu, Liu Liu and others also resumed their actions. Everyone was panting and looked like they were about to collapse.
"What a cunning mirror worm. When we stepped into this street, we had already walked into the world it copied." Liu Yu was worthy of being a team leader. He was superior to others in both strength and knowledge.
He was also the first person to realize the truth of the matter. As he said, when the seven of them first walked into this street, they had already fallen into the illusion of the mirror worm. Everything they saw was projected by the mirror worm through countless tiny lenses to control the light refraction.
Even the fair-skinned woman was fake. The true body of the mirror worm was the palm-sized worm that was just hit.
"Who broke the illusion?" Liu Liu asked. If the illusion lasted a little longer, she would be split in two in the illusion.
"Hu Tao was the first to wake up." Luo Jingjing said honestly. When she made her move, she saw Hu Tao releasing her spiritual power to shatter the illusion space. Although the two of them didn't like each other, they wouldn't deliberately throw dirty water on each other.
"It was Luo Jingjing who hit the mirror bug." Hu Tao also said honestly, "Besides, the reason why I was able to shatter the illusion was because of a powerful external force. Otherwise, I could only hold on for a moment at most."
Luo Jingjing also nodded and said, "It was also because of the help of external forces that I could accurately sense the position of the mirror bug, and the spiritual power that I used in the end was not all my own."
Liu Yu said, "It seems that there is a guardian who secretly helped. The other party may be a senior master who doesn't want to show up. Let's quickly capture the mirror bug and then go back to the branch to submit the task."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Liu Liu took the special container and went forward to put the mirror bug in. According to the distribution of the task content on the internal network, Hu Tao and Luo Jingjing only need to be responsible for the frontal battle, and other details will be handled by experienced Yaoguang members.
After all, the mission was passed on to Liu Liu by Hu Tao and Luo Jingjing after they took it. Their purpose was nothing more than to quickly improve their strength and break through the bottleneck through actual combat.
Since receiving Gu Ming's guidance last time, the two have also had different degrees of perception in their respective cultivation, and actual combat is the fastest way to transform perception into strength.
Everyone's attention followed Liu Liu's footsteps. Before taking action tonight, none of them thought that this mission would almost be wiped out. The strength of this mirror insect can be said to be beyond everyone's imagination.
If there were no guardians following in secret, all of them might become blood food for the mirror insect.
However, although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was still good. After the mission was completed, everyone would get a considerable reward.
However, when Liu Liu was only three or four meters away from the stunned mirror insect, Liu Yu suddenly jumped up and passed by Liu Liu in two or three steps, raised his sword above his head, and chopped it down with all his strength without hesitation.
"Keng!"
A sharp metal collision sounded, and Liu Yu pulled up Liu Liu's arm and retreated several meters. Just in front of the mirror insect's body, a figure wearing a black cloak appeared at some point, holding a sharp sword and clashing with Liu Yu.
The man's entire face was hidden under the brim of the cloak, and his face was covered by a black mask, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. However, no matter what, he could withstand Liu Yu's full-strength slash, so his strength was not bad.
Liu Yu's expression was very solemn. After a short fight, he had already noticed the strength of his opponent.
"Who are you?" Liu Yu asked.
He was answered by a sharp sword light. Liu Yu pulled Liu Liu and jumped to the side. The other three team members attacked at the same time. Under the cover of guns and cannons, the two of them killed the cloaked man from the left and right. Hu Tao and Luo Jingjing also worked together, and their mental power controlled the underground lava to turn into a rain of fire and swayed away.
The fierce attack instantly covered the space where the cloaked man was, but the cloaked man suddenly burst out with black smoke, which spread all at once, like a huge umbrella that was opened, and actually blocked everyone's attack.
"God Sea Realm!" Liu Yu shouted angrily, and the sword was used again. The sharp blade light was like the tail of a comet. With one slash, the cloaked man's defense was finally torn apart.
The dazzling sword light stabbed out, and the cloaked man's figure was erratic and agile. In a blink of an eye, he collided with Liu Yu for dozens of moves. The speed of the two was so fast that the others could hardly catch their figures.
A moment later, Liu Yu landed, and the single sword was inserted into the ground to support his shaky body. On the other side, the cloaked man still stood straight, and the long sword in his hand did not tremble at all.
The winner was decided.
"The elite of Beidou, that's all." The cloaked man taunted. At this moment, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed across the sky, lightning tore through the night sky, and heavy rain poured down. Raindrops fell on the cloaked man's sword, splashing a hazy mist.
"Fallen!" Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Show your true colors if you dare."
"Haha, you are just a bunch of idiots, you are not qualified to know my identity." The cloaked man said, "I will send you on your way."
As soon as the voice fell, the figure of the cloaked man suddenly blurred. The next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yu, with a long sword slashing down from top to bottom, and the cold light poured down, which continued to magnify in Liu Yu's eyes.
"Ding!"
There was another loud noise. Although Liu Yu blocked the sword, his sword was cut off in the middle.
"Form a formation!" Liu Liu gave an order, and the remaining team members quickly gathered together, with Liu Yu as the center, to form a simple battle formation. This battle formation is a combined attack formation that all five action teams in Beidou must practice. It can gather the power of the five-person team together and exert great power.
Hu Tao and Luo Jingjing were also about to integrate into the formation, but suddenly, under the cover of thunder, a slender bullet broke through the air. Liu Yu's alertness jumped wildly and slightly turned his body. Little did he know that the bullet would pierce his shoulder blade the next moment.
"Sniper!" The seven people were all shocked. The cloaked man was difficult enough to deal with alone, but they didn't expect that there was a sniper lurking in the dark.
One strike had already made the strongest Liu Yu lose his fighting power. The next shot could very likely take someone's life.
"Beautiful!" The cloaked man laughed, and the long sword stabbed straight over. Hu Tao and Luo Jingjing rushed out together, trying to cover the others and take Liu Yu to retreat, but at this moment, the gunshot rang again.
No one knew who the target of this shot was, but there was no doubt that the most likely ones were Hu Tao and Luo Jingjing who were rushing in the front.
The two of them reacted almost the same way at the same time when they heard the gunshot. Both of them hit each other with all their strength, trying to push the annoying companion on the opposite side out of the attack range.
This was completely a gamble on luck, and their luck was indeed very good. The sound of sword whistling fell from the sky, and a ray of sword energy flashed, just hitting a bullet in flight.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a monkey mask appeared in front of Hu Tao and Luo Jingjing.
"You go first, I'll take care of the rest." Gu Ming deliberately said in a calm voice, just because he didn't want to be recognized by Hu Tao and Luo Jingjing.
"Thank you, Gu Ming!" Hu Tao's voice rang directly in Gu Ming's mind.
