Chapter 92: Frantic
Alves was actually more anxious than Li Wei.
Although he had now suppressed Li Wei and, with the full assistance of Cai Yutong, was able to keep Li Wei pinned to the wall, the situation for his companions was not as good.
Originally, among the three of them, the Hub Chain expert Bo Yan, who had the widest range of threats and the most abundant means, had been targeted for a direct hit in the initial ambush and was seriously injured.
At this moment, Bo Yan, squatting on the ground, was using his broken body to construct defensive measures in front of him again and again, but these defensive measures would eventually be pierced by one arrow after another.
Bender, who had pinned him down, was relentless!
This proficient Hub Chain expert had already been hit by two arrows. One was shot into his shoulder, stuck in his scapula; the other one pierced through his left abdomen and into the wall, pinning him firmly to the wall. This was a more severe injury than the explosion of the previous Red Lotus Arrow!
As an evolutionist of the Hub Chain, as long as Bo Yan's mind remained clear, his combat capability would still be there. But Bender's highly threatening bow and arrows were threatening his life time and time again.
Without additional help, Bo Yan would definitely die under Bender's arrows! His struggles now were just to delay the time of death.
On the other hand, Wang Lang, who was facing off against Wells, was in a much better situation than Bo Yan.
Apart from the initial ambush, which made him somewhat flustered against Wells, he had been pressing Wells in the subsequent fight.
His combat experience was indeed much richer than Wells'. In this lifetime, Wells might not have had as many life-and-death struggles with other hunters as others had in just a fraction of their training and sparring.
In this situation, although Wells had already opened his Genetic Lock and had the strength of the first development level, it was quite normal for him to be at a disadvantage against Wang Lang, a veteran Hub Chain expert with much richer experience in life-and-death struggles—even if the enemy was injured.
The reason Wang Lang had not been able to truly defeat Wells was because of Qian Long's psychic support. Qian Long's psychic power went to help Cai Yutong, then Li Wei, then Wells, and he was really busy.
But even so, in the situation where Wang Lang couldn't defeat Wells, he couldn't support other battlefields.
Now, the only one who could really turn the situation around was Alves himself.
So, in the midst of his battle with Li Wei, even though he was clearly in the lead, he impatiently made a change, hoping to take the lead in forming a breakthrough in the battle.
Shadow Stab!
A large amount of black mist suddenly emerged from his body and spread onto the two short swords. Then, the two short swords shrouded in dark energy stabbed directly at Li Wei's chest and abdomen.
After seeing what happened to Alves, Li Wei already felt that things seemed a bit wrong. The enemy's movements were very fast, and there was definitely no way to dodge.
The short knife quickly struck out, but there was no time to use Ghost Slash; it was just a quick Slash Steel Flash.
The power of Slash Steel Flash was not enough to break through Alves's Shadow Stab, but at the same time, the Ghost Hand covered with the demon claw also grabbed towards Alves's sword.
Using two moves at the same time, Li Wei blocked one of Alves's swords, but the sword that stabbed at his abdomen was beyond his control.
He used his Sharingan to stare firmly at Alves and activated the hypnotic power. He hadn't used this move much in the battle before, but now he had to.
But the result of the hypnosis was a failure. Alves's gaze was firm, and he was not affected by Li Wei's Sharingan hypnosis at all.
Hypnosis was not a serious illusion; at most, it could be considered a primitive application of illusions, a mental confrontation.
Alves was a genuine first development level evolutionist. Although he had not specifically trained his mental resistance, he would not lose to Li Wei in a mental confrontation.
The Sharingan's hypnotic effect was completely ineffective, and the hand that stabbed towards Li Wei's abdomen showed no sign of hesitation.
Li Wei's Mage Armor, in the end, saved his life.
Under the impact of Shadow Stab, the Mage Armor completely shattered, but it also consumed the dark power on the sword. In the end, the sword in Alves's hand pierced Li Wei's abdomen, but the force was weak, and it ended up stuck in Li Wei's muscles, not piercing through his belly as Alves had intended.
But the crisis was not over. Li Wei was already injured, and his Mage Armor was shattered. While the attack was blocked, the enemy was fully capable of launching the next round of attacks!
At a critical moment, Qian Long's help arrived!
A wave of psychic force directly blasted towards the position where Li Wei and Alves were. Previously, Qian Long didn't dare to do this, fearing that he might accidentally hurt Li Wei, but now he didn't have time to worry about that and quickly blasted the two apart.
Since Li Wei was backed against the wall, and Qian Long also deliberately controlled it, the explosive power of the psychic wave had a relatively small impact on Li Wei. His body was blasted out sideways, rolling on the ground for several laps before he crawled up. Alves, who received special attention, was blasted even further away.
The damage effect of the entire psychic wave was relatively average. After all, Qian Long didn't want to blow Li Wei to death together with Alves. More importantly, it was the flying effect caused by the psychic wave.
"Damn it!" Alves cursed loudly. His chance to kill Cai Yutong was ruined, and his chance to kill Li Wei was also ruined. He was really getting frustrated.
If it weren't for the ambush that led to Bo Yan being seriously injured and pinned down, and the battlefield being divided, with the strength of their small team, the battle would never have reached this point.
He now realized that Qian Long and Wells were just guys who had recently opened their Genetic Locks and were not very strong. Cai Yutong hadn't even opened her Genetic Lock yet. Although Li Wei's previous attacks were very powerful, his true strength was still only at the limit level.
The only one with really good strength was Bender.
Originally, even if they fought a proper encounter, Alves felt that their small team, even with only three people, had at least a seventy percent chance of winning against Li Wei and the others. But, the failed ambush led the battle directly into such an unfavorable situation.
His side, with three genuine first development level evolutionists, veteran Hub Chain experts, was actually suppressed like this! It was really embarrassing. If the people from Black Crow Town knew that the "Snake Team" was beaten by a team of newcomers like this, they would really be laughed at for a long time.
But now was not the time to think about these things. Alves looked at Li Wei and Cai Yutong with a fierce light in his eyes. The battle had to end as soon as possible! Otherwise, when Bender killed Bo Yan and freed up his hands, the situation would become completely irreversible.
