Chapter 431 The Exchange

Zou Wu, Zou Wu, it's actually Zou Wu!

A mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas!

And what kind of trash wish mission is this? The rewards are like dog shit, how can they compare to Zou Wu!

It's all this guy's fault!

Bai Ye cursed, "You're the one who hunted so many creatures in a dangerous area, what does it have to do with me!"

As Bai Ye spoke, current surged from his body, and Li Jiayi was instantly repelled, crashing into the wall behind him and shattering a piece of it.

Li Jiayi bared his teeth, then spread his hands and suddenly formed a Dao seal.

"One Qi Yin Yang, Reverse Qian Kun, Heaven and Earth..."

Before Li Jiayi could finish his Dao incantation, a shout suddenly came from the side.

Bai Ye and Li Jiayi turned their heads and saw several men running from the corner, holding exaggerated futuristic weapons. They were pure silver, very large, with a brace at the end that could be fixed to the arm for aiming assistance.

The next moment, the attackers raised their guns, and arcs of electricity appeared around the muzzles. Then, an ionic energy beam was sprayed towards Li Jiayi.

"Kakuhou·Nine Tails!"

Li Jiayi retreated rapidly, while red bubbles surged from his back. His kagune activated, and nine tails appeared behind Li Jiayi, converging in front of him.

Boom!

The energy beam hit Li Jiayi's tails, blasting his body back three to four meters, but the energy beam also shattered and was blocked.

On the other side, Bai Ye's back also unfurled massive phoenix-like kagune. He looked at Li Jiayi and said, "We have nine days to play around, you pray your number doesn't get caught by me."

As Bai Ye spoke, he flew into the air.

The kagune Li Jiayi obtained in the ghoul area was very powerful, no less than Bai Ye's mutated kagune. However, in terms of functionality, tail kagune had a natural disadvantage compared to wing kagune: wing kagune could fly.

Therefore, Bai Ye decisively flew away, leaving Li Jiayi to deal with the hunters.

Li Jiayi cursed inwardly and then fled into a side alley.

In fact, Li Jiayi could still deal with a few hunters, even with futuristic weapons in their hands.

In fact, ten minutes ago, Li Jiayi had done just that, and then he realized that getting entangled with the hunters was a very unwise move.

There were too many of these guys, and they were already spread throughout the city hunting the nine participants. They even had positioning and communication devices, so even a slight delay would bring more hunters.

Moreover, the hunters' reconnaissance and positioning equipment was also abundant: unmanned drones, thermal imaging systems, nanotracking aircraft...

So, if he was exposed, it would become very troublesome, constantly being pursued and tracked.

This made Li Jiayi have no intention of fighting, and he planned to find a way to shake off these guys first.

Thinking this, he emerged from the alley. Li Jiayi's eyes suddenly lit up, then showed a trace of pain, but he still ran to the side and jumped into a sewer undergoing repair work.

On the other side, Bai Ye was now experiencing Li Jiayi's pain.

Flying couldn't shake off those hunters.

Bai Ye quickly spotted two hunters approaching rapidly from behind on flying devices.

The so-called flying devices were similar to skateboards but twice as large. They could float and move in the sky through magnetic force.

"Is this thing considered mechanical?"

Bai Ye glanced behind him, and suddenly, the two flying devices instantly shattered into a pile of parts scattered in the air, and the two hunters fell from the sky.

But in that instant...

An energy beam suddenly rose from below, heading towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye converged his massive wings in front of him, blocking the incoming energy beam.

Bai Ye quickly looked down to find the source of the shot, but the attacker was very agile, disappearing without a trace after passing through an alley.

The moment the attacker fled, a buzzing sound sounded behind Bai Ye again, and an energy beam rose from behind, hitting Bai Ye's back.

"Tsk!"

Bai Ye couldn't help but tut.

He wasn't injured, but flying in the air didn't seem like a wise move; the target was too obvious.

As for mechanical reconstruction, although it had a significant advantage in this futuristic technological area.

However, dismantling machinery wasn't something Bai Ye could do just by thinking about it. Three conditions had to be met.

The first condition was pure machinery, including subordinate machines, high-end energy machinery, and electronic products. However, if the mechanical item contained other elements, it became invalid.

For example, if a mechanical product had magic formations carved on it, Bai Ye couldn't dismantle it.

The second condition was that the dismantled item must be within Bai Ye's line of sight. Bai Ye had to confirm the target with his eyes before he could dismantle it.

In other words, if the target was too far away or obscured by an obstruction, Bai Ye couldn't use his mechanical reconstruction ability to dismantle items.

The third condition was mental power, which was a common issue for most supernatural abilities. Except for abilities that purely acted on the physical body, other abilities relied on mental power. Overuse would cause mental fatigue, and this fatigue could hardly be instantly recovered by medication; it could only be restored through rest.

However, Bai Ye didn't have much trouble in this regard; his mental power had always been excellent, with a solid foundation.

The problem Bai Ye was facing now was the second one: there were too many tall buildings around, which meant too many obstructions, making it difficult for Bai Ye to lock onto targets.

Thinking this, Bai Ye descended directly from the air, at least to avoid becoming a target.

The moment Bai Ye landed in an alley and tried to conceal himself, an unmanned drone flew over his head.

Bai Ye looked up, and the drone instantly shattered.

However, it was too late.

On the wall of the alley, a man suddenly leaped over and opened fire on Bai Ye in mid-air.

Zzzzt!

Bai Ye flashed, and a large amount of current enveloped him. He then moved back three to four meters, avoiding the attacker's strike.

The attacker tried to raise his hand to shoot again, but...

With a swish, the energy gun in his hand instantly shattered into a pile of parts.

The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly drew two handguns from his waist. However, as soon as he pulled the guns out of their holsters, they also turned into a pile of parts.

The man was a little confused, but as an experienced hunter, he instinctively drew a metal mechanical serrated blade from his back. But the moment he raised it...

With another swish, accompanied by the clatter of metal falling to the ground, the man was left with only a sword hilt.
