Soon, song qingxiao’s guess was confirmed. Number six’s shovel was about to touch number Seven’s body. Number six’s sweaty face showed unconcealed joy. The next second, number seven, who was standing in front of him, turned into a black shadow and dodged the sneak attack at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
At the same time, number six’s happy expression froze, turning into disbelief. Before he could put away his shovel and get into a defensive posture, number seven had already begun his counterattack!
A black shadow came toward number six’s face. The long shadow looked like a whip, but it was not any less powerful than song Qing’s last time in the mental hospital. It was even fiercer when number four chased after him with a long whip.
The other trial-takers who were standing with him had already sensed that something was wrong. They retreated one after another and instantly pulled a distance of about a meter away from him.
Number six barely dodged the attack, so he didn’t see the scene in front of him clearly. He only heard number Seven’s cold laughter. He clenched the shovel in his hand and was about to swing it in the direction of the black shadow when he heard a sharp ‘meow’ in his ear. He felt a sense of danger approaching. Number six knew that something was wrong, but it was too late to Dodge. A black shadow pounced on him like a ghost. It was so powerful that he couldn’t stand at all. He fell to the ground with a bang.
In his confusion, number six only saw a Black Claw sweeping towards his face. The nails of the claw were about two inches long and shimmered with a cold light. If he was caught, it would be a light punishment if his skin and flesh cracked.
At this critical moment, he could no longer care about hiding his strength.
Song qingxiao’s sharp senses detected the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air. It was very familiar and unforgettable!
This kind of mental energy fluctuation was exactly the same as when she was being chased by those two men before she entered the trial space. The method of the mental energy attacker was exactly the same.
Young man number six was a mental power attacker!
The thought flashed through her mind, and the next moment, she heard number Seven’s painful groan.
The fast black shadow swayed a few times, took two or three steps back, and then leaned against the side of the ship.
Song qingxiao and the others finally saw number Seven’s face! Compared to her previous sweet appearance of a young girl, she had almost changed shape.
Black fur grew on her face and body, and her two ears stood on the top of her head. Her eyes turned into round pupils, and her lips turned into three petals, like that of a cat. She grinned, revealing two sharp and powerful teeth.
A black tail swung behind her like a whip, whipping the mutant creatures that tried to approach her to the ground. It was obviously the weapon she had used to attack number six.
She tilted her head and stared coldly at number six with an expression of anger and pain. Her hands had turned into cat claws, and her long nails looked extremely sharp with blood on them.
Number 7 could actually transform! After the transformation, his combat power seemed to have increased significantly, and he was on par with number six.
Now, out of the seven trial-takers, two of them had finally revealed their true abilities.
In the short confrontation earlier, number seven had transformed into a humanoid cat, while number six had used his psychic energy to attack. Both of them had suffered a loss in a single exchange.
Number six flipped over and sat up. His left jaw, which was originally considered handsome, had three deep scratch marks left by number seven, and blood was dripping from them. From his twitching mouth and serious expression, his contact with number seven had been extremely dangerous.
There was only a slight difference. If he had not dodged in time, number Seven’s sharp claws would have grabbed his neck instead of his jaw.
The other trial-takers were secretly on guard. Putting aside number Seven’s attack speed and strange transformation, number six’s counterattack sent chills down their backs.
He did it silently, but he must have retaliated. The pain on number Seven’s face was hard to hide, but from the outside, number six didn’t leave any wounds on her body. She didn’t hear number six’s fist or weapon landing on her body.
Other than song qingxiao, who was also a spiritual power user, and number seven, who was the victim, the other participants could hardly sense what number six had done at that moment.
“You’re capable!”
Number seven was currently suffering from a mental attack and was already having a splitting headache. The battle formation that he had set up at this time was just a forced effort.
Song qingxiao had also suffered a mental attack before and had experienced the pain. She knew three things about it.
She was a user of spiritual power, so she had a certain resistance to this kind of attack. However, number Seven’s skill seemed to have mutated or evolved to a certain extent, which gave him the ability to transform. In terms of spiritual power, he was far inferior to her.
Therefore, number seven was barely able to stand. If number six attacked her again, she might not even be able to stand.
However, number six’s mental strength should also be limited. He still had to reserve some mental strength to deal with the current crisis and the surrounding trial-takers, in case they had the same idea of killing number seven as he did earlier. Therefore, both of them were cautious. Although they had the intention to kill each other after the exchange, neither of them made a rash move.
Seeing this, song qingxiao felt that it was a pity.
Although the two trial-takers had a conflict, their rationality was still present. It was clear that they could no longer control their emotions and do irrational things.
“Alright, let’s settle these things first.” She called out. Number seven and number six, who were touching the wounds on their faces, couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
Although both of them were at a disadvantage, it happened in an instant. However, in this short time, the boat slanted even more. Song qingxiao could almost hear the sound of water splashing into the cabin on the left.
“Protect the ship. If there’s any enmity, we’ll find it in the future.” As she spoke, she heard a ‘bang’ and something seemed to fall from the sky into the sea.
The mutated creatures that were attached to the bodyguards above them scattered. A few of them seemed to have eaten their fill and were swaying.
With the help of the light, song qingxiao saw the bellies of the mutated creatures that had expanded. Their skin was almost transparent, and there was dark red blood inside. Combined with the injury on number Seven’s shoulder, it was not difficult to guess that these things were probably blood-sucking.
“What idea do you have?”
Number seven asked, still in his transformed form. He licked the blood on his hand.
“Use fire.”
Song qingxiao suggested.
There were a few difficulties:
First, there were too many blood-sucking mutated creatures. It was difficult to clear them all with ordinary means.
Second, these blood-sucking creatures were not afraid of death. Even if the ship did not capsize, it would be pushed forward quickly. Not only would the smell of blood attract powerful creatures from the bottom of the sea, but the consequences would be unimaginable once it reached the shore.
Third, the reason for the ship’s tilt was due to external interference. The doors on both sides were locked, and the other side was hit and pushed by a large number of mutant creatures. The hull tilted because of uneven force.
Once the fire was set, the ship’s internal door would be locked and the blame would be thrown on others. The people who were afraid of the fire would open the door under the threat of fire. In order to protect their lives, these people would also help to kill these blood-sucking mutant creatures.
The more people there were, the stronger they would be. Furthermore, after opening the door, some of the mutated creatures would enter the cabin, no longer causing external pressure on the ship, which would also alleviate some of the danger of capsize.
Once the fire grew bigger and spread up the ship, these things should also be driven away.
Although the genes of living creatures had been altered, it was natural for most beasts to fear fire. Even if they were not afraid of fire, it was enough to cause a large area of damage to them. It would be much easier for the rest of the people on the ship to deal with them.
As for how to clean up after the fire, it was not within song qingxiao’s scope of consideration.
In any case, if he didn’t set fire, this ship didn’t look like it would last long.. He might as well take a gamble and fight to the death!
