The moment the red blob of mental energy sealed the remaining horde's heads, chaos erupted. The buffaloes bucked wildly, their massive bodies slamming into abandoned cars and crumbling buildings. Their deafening bellows turned into muffled grunts, nostrils flaring in desperation.
Some charged blindly, crashing into each other, while others thrashed on the ground, kicking up dust and debris.
In everyone's eyes, the dark green fireball was the only tangible attack. No one saw Nanzhi's red mental energy.
They were once again shocked by the blue-eyed man's ability!
To be able to take out the entire horde on his own without even dirtying his hands—just how strong was he?!
Everyone assumed that the buffaloes' strange behavior was due to the toxic fumes emitted by the green fireballs earlier.
Everyone thought the same, except for two cloaked figures, the blue-eyed man, and the protagonist's team. They knew the cause wasn't the green fireball's toxic fumes—but something else entirely!
"This isn't just an ordinary barrier—someone is using precise micro-adjustments to maintain an airtight seal."
One of the cloaked figures analyzed the structure, their voice tinged with disbelief. "If it were just a static barrier, the air pressure inside would remain stable, allowing some residual oxygen exchange. But this… this is dynamically reinforcing leaks. The calculation needed…"
"They're fine-tuning the molecular density of the barrier," the other muttered in astonishment. "Too rigid, and it would shatter under impact. Too loose, and the pressure imbalance would allow airflow. Maintaining perfect equilibrium while countering the beasts' struggles…."
Not to mention, applying this level of control to multiple targets simultaneously!
Even though it wasn't yet perfect, such seamless execution—
Their voices trailed off in surprise. Who was it?!
This world was only in the early development phase, yet someone was already capable of mastering mental energy to this extent!
They concentrated their senses, trying to locate the owner of the mental power among the convoy below—but found nothing.
Something was interfering with their detection!
Could it be that the owner wasn't in the convoy at all, but hiding somewhere else?
If so, why were they helping these lower lifeforms?
Meanwhile, the buffaloes' struggles weakened. Their legs trembled, their eyes rolled back, and foam dripped from their muzzles. One by one, the beasts staggered before collapsing with heavy thuds, their massive bodies shaking the ground.
The once-chaotic street fell into eerie silence, broken only by the distant echoes of their final strangled breaths.
Before the cloaked figures could observe further, the blue-eyed man took advantage of the buffaloes' weakened state and rained down another wave of fireballs to finish them off!
Toxic green and black fumes surged like mushroom clouds, spreading in all directions, enveloping everything within a two-hundred-meter radius—including the cars.
Everyone pinched their noses and coughed incessantly.
Lin Weihao frowned and crossed his arms.
The two cloaked figures couldn't see what was happening below! One of them instinctively raised a hand to disperse the smoke, but the other made a disagreeable sound.
If their guess was correct, making a move now would expose their location.
Damn it!
Nanzhi's lips twitched.
Her new skill didn't kill the alien beasts instantly—it depended on how long they could hold their breath.
Since this was just an experiment, and she had already obtained the results she wanted, there was no need to prolong the battle.
Under the thick veil of pungent smoke, the inner circle of the red blob of energy shifted, morphing into countless sharp spikes.
Then—
Squelch!
The spikes pierced straight into the buffaloes' eyes and brains!
Their bodies might have been heavily armored, but their eyes were still their weak points!
The deafening cries of the buffaloes rang through the air.
Then, silence. freewebnoveℓ.com
Nanzhi heard the notifications she had been waiting for.
[You've earned 250 EXP.]
[You've earned 250 EXP.]
[You've earned …]
Twenty-eight notifications of 250 EXP, and one—
[You've earned 500 EXP.]
A satisfied smile tugged at her lips.
She couldn't wait to visit the red marks on the map!
The convoy came to a halt, and most of the people stepped out of their cars, craning their necks to take in the scene before them.
The two cloaked figures scanned the area, searching for traces of the red blobs of energy.
But—
Nothing.
Whoever had done it was gone.
Clicking their tongues in frustration, they exchanged glances.
A pity.
They had missed their chance to uncover the mastermind behind it all.
After one last lingering glance at the battlefield, their figures disappeared into the shadows, deep in thought.
Dai Yun's expression twisted in disbelief.
Incredible!
What rank was that blue-eyed man?!
Zhao Lin, however, had her gaze locked onto Nanzhi's car instead.
She had witnessed Nanzhi's abilities before.
Her power wasn't derived from any natural element—it was completely undetectable.
Everyone else might believe the blue-eyed man had done all the work, but she thought otherwise!
Nanzhi had to have played a part in this!
Yu Baoyin snorted.
That damned smoke had blocked her from witnessing the full performance!
But—
That brief moment when the buffaloes had exhibited strange behavior…
Could it have been Sister Nan who caused it?!
