Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Selecting Sandbags

“Not dead?”

Tang Qi first expressed surprise, but after the ghost light surged in his eyes, he quickly came to terms with it.

In that special scene, the White Hound’s state changed from “normal” to “lightly injured”, attached with an Information Fragment: it was wounded by the Transcendent Gun “Fearless Wolverine” and the Demon Hunting Bullet. However, the Undying Body it possessed could heal rapidly…

Tang Qi could see it, and so could all the agents of the Investigation Bureau, who were inside the “Magic Shield.”

Their previous confidence was gone. Their faces were now full of seriousness as they guarded Zoe and Odys closely.

Both were in an unprecedentedly bad state.

Especially the “Demon Hunter” Odys; not only had he become incapacitated, but he had also dragged down the White Witch.

She propped up the Magic Shield with one hand and placed the other on Odys’s wound, continuously releasing warm Healing Magic, but it seemed that she could only keep Odys alive and couldn’t remove the stone dagger that looked incredibly crude.

From the dagger, a terrible glow faintly flowed.

Tang Qi’s gaze was also drawn to it.

[Curios: Evil Dagger.]

[State: Intact.]

[Information Fragment One: An ordinary stone mutated after being splashed with Ancestor Spring Water, roughly carved into this form, containing pure “Evil Power.” Any biological being stabbed by this will suffer unknown injuries. Those who cannot resist will directly collapse and dissipate.]

[Information Fragment Two: It almost ignores defense mechanisms, except for some special Curios.]

…

“Sacrificing five Green Hounds and an old Red Hound to severely injure one Professional and completely restrain another, the more threatening White Witch – a good plan.”

Tang Qi withdrew his gaze and made a comment.

He didn’t excessively praise the Hound Corps; after all, the recent developments had been quite spectacular.

The trap had been ready from the start, with Black Hounds creating the image of brutes, one punch toppling a train, then provoking Odys into battle, followed by dispatching five Hounds to distract attention, even using the “White Hound” as bait.

The ultimate goal was just to allow the Red Hound, with its “Blood Parasite” ability, to carry out a final ambush.

By plunging the “Evil Dagger” into Odys’s kidney, the plan was declared complete.

Judging from the current scene, the completion was very high.

Originally, the strengths of both sides were almost equal; in fact, the Investigation Bureau seemed to be slightly stronger. But now, everything had changed.

Other than relying on the Protective Shield released by the White Witch, the Investigation Bureau had no other recourse. On the Hound Corps side, in addition to Robert and Lance, the two Black and White Level Hounds, there were still four Hounds left, all looking like youths cold as ice, clutching long scythes in their hands.

At the Blade, the blue ghost light flickered, bearing formidable poison that threatened Extraordinary Creatures.

An utterly disparate comparison of strength!

Led by the Black and White Hounds, they approached the shield without any intention of proceeding further.

“Wait!”

A hoarse voice suddenly burst from the throat of the White Hound.

Everyone understood its meaning, waiting for Zoe’s magic to run out, at which point it would be easy to reap the lives of everyone from the Investigation Bureau.

The Investigation Bureau side knew this as well, but they were utterly powerless to change it.

Their two strongest forces were both decimated.

Although they were also Transcendents, it was impressive enough that they could withstand those four Blue Hounds.

Faced with Black and White Level Hounds, any single one could wipe them out.

Had it not been for the “White Witch”, Miss Zoe, who still remained calm as if all this was nothing of concern to her, and would eventually be resolved by her, the agents would hardly be able to maintain their composure at this moment.

Shepherd Sect!

This Transcendent Organization, which emerged suddenly from a pharmaceutical group within the Human World, became a behemoth in no time, entrenched in Secret Phoenix State, extending its reach across the Federation through the odd means of the Serial Killer Dark Net.

The Sect itself, as well as the so-called Hound Corps, were not taken seriously by the officials.

But the existence of the Ancestor Spring forced the officials to become anxious.

Although Leckter had yet to find a stable method for mass producing Hounds, the intense Pollution was comparable to some of the recorded Evil God Creations.

In fact, when the FBI dispatched this squad to pursue the “unexpected factor” Andre Poli, they also initiated a round-up of the Sect.

Unbeknownst to the public, Goliya Biological Pharmaceutical, a company that had risen to prominence in the Secret Phoenix City, was being summoned for an investigation by the Federation Government.

However, seeing the composure of Robert and Lance, the two Black and White Hounds, it’s clear that they have immense confidence in the Sect’s stronghold. Or rather, they have a deep-seated faith and trust in the magnificent Leckter, stemming from the depths of their souls.

In the midst of a “Death Countdown” within the protective barrier.

Far in the shadows of the distant tower, Poli trembled his lips and said to Tang Qi, “You~you see, Robert, Lance, they are indeed as powerful as the rumors say, no, even more so. Even if you have some strength, you definitely won’t be their match.”

“And the FBI’s weaklings actually lost like that, you’ve lost your reliance, and so have I.”

“Let me go, once I complete my Evolution, I will come back to end all of this.”

It must be said that Mr. Poli picked a good time to persuade Tang Qi.

Had it been a different “Guardian”, they might have agreed.

After all, even the seemingly strong squad dispatched by the FBI had fallen, it seemed completely hopeless for a small Messer Police Station to win against a group of brutal and horrific Hounds.

Regrettably, Tang Qi never planned to be a rule-bound Guardian.

When the battle in the field came to a brief intermission, his gaze constantly shifted between Robert and Lance, the two Hounds.

The purpose of Tang Qi’s trip, aside from checking on the aftermath of the “Sniper Attack” and the fate of the FBI Assistance Squad to determine how to deal with Andre Poli, was another equally important goal.

That is… Fusion Combat Skill.

Stanna could practice Monster Power Technique with a delicate-bodied, purple Hound that looks like a little girl, but Tang Qi, who wanted to integrate nearly ten Fighting Skills, naturally couldn’t pick a “sandbag” as fragile as the Purple Hound.

After all, his punch is on a completely different level compared to Stanna’s.

“It must be durable, have strong recovery power, and must be an Extraordinary Creature with a propensity for close combat…”

“Buzz!”

Unsurprisingly, Tang Qi’s expectant gaze finally settled on Black Hound Robert.

At the same time, his gaze also swept over the White Hound Lance, who, if nothing went wrong, was likely the planner of this Sniper Attack.

So Tang Qi had to initiate his own action, and the first target to be eliminated was it.

As this thought flared, Tang Qi suddenly turned his head, a gaze that robbed Andre Poli of his ability to speak, only allowing him to watch as Tang Qi smiled faintly, with unshakeable certainty, “Mr. Poli, I think you will never get the chance to complete your Evolution, just like those Hounds, they definitely can’t wait until the White Witch’s Magic Power is exhausted.”

“Sigh”

As Tang Qi’s voice fell, a shadow suddenly surged in the tower where they were located, and immediately, the grotesque big head of the Night Beast with a facial helmet probed out, its mouth still holding a wrapped package.
