Chapter 297: Enemy at the Lakeside
Chapter 297: Enemy at the Lakeside
The three members of Team 017 walked along the lakeside path into the depths of the fog. The atmosphere was a bit weird.
"Baili, how do you feel wearing this mask?" Doghead suddenly spoke with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Fatty Baili tugged at the Zhu Bajie mask on his face and groaned muffledly, "It's so suffocating! If the captain hadn't insisted on me wearing it, I wouldn't..."
"Alright, alright, I know you're feeling wronged."
Cao Yuanhai smiled and patted Baili Pang'er's shoulder.
"The captain is doing this for your own good. If you happen to run into someone your father knows, your 'Pigsy' look can be used to hide your tracks."
"Humph, it's my dad's birthday, and I'm going to give him a set of the latest fishing rods. He's definitely going to be so happy that he won't care what mask I wear."
Fatty Baili said this with a smug smile on his face.
"Fishing rod? Doesn't your father like to collect antiques?" Jialan'er listened silently on the side and finally couldn't help but interject.
"Hey, Jialan'er, you don't know something."
Baili Panger squinted his eyes mysteriously.
"My dad has recently become obsessed with fishing. He says it's good for his character and cultivates his sentiments..."
The three of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
However, this relaxed and harmonious atmosphere did not last long.
Suddenly, a shrill sound of a zither was heard in the dark sky. The tone was so strange that it made people's hair stand on end.
Immediately afterwards, ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake, and an invisible blade cut through the water, making a hissing sound.
"Be careful!" Jialan'er reacted quickly, swung the sword in his hand, and a sword energy shattered the attacking sound blade.
The three of them looked intently and saw a pleasure boat appear in the middle of the lake.
A woman in a black cloak sat on the boat, strumming a guzheng in her hand, emitting a heart-pounding sonic attack.
“Someone’s been contaminated!”
Baili Pang'er exclaimed, he remembered his father's teachings, that the God Slayer must protect ordinary people and must not sit idly by.
"I'll go save her!" Baili Pang'er said, and was about to fly over.
"Wait, Baili!"
Cao Yuanhai grabbed him and said, "The situation is unclear, don't be impulsive!"
However, Baili Pang'er couldn't wait any longer.
He suddenly shook off Cao Yuanhai's hand, stepped on the flying sword, and flew towards the cruise ship.
"Baili! Come back!" Jialan'er and Cao Yuanhai shouted at the same time.
However, Baili Pang'er had already flown to the center of the lake, getting closer and closer to the cruise ship.
Suddenly, the cloaked woman stopped playing, raised her right hand, and a sharp sound blade attacked Baili Pang'er.
Baili Pang'er quickly waved the broom in his hand to block the sonic blade.
At the same time, the flying sword in his hand also flew out and attacked the woman.
The woman seemed to be prepared, and she dodged the attack of the flying sword.
She sneered, raised her right hand again, and an even more powerful sound blade attacked Baili Pang'er.
"Not good!" Fatty Baili was startled and hurriedly...
……
He quickly held the broom across his chest, trying to block the attack of the sonic blade.
However, the power of this sonic blade far exceeded his imagination.
There was a loud "bang" and the broom broke. Fatty Baili was also knocked away by the sound blade and fell heavily into the lake.
"Baili!" Jialan'er exclaimed and was about to rush over to save people.
At this moment, the woman suddenly took out a gong and struck it hard.
The shrill sound of the gong mixed with countless tiny sonic blades swept in like a storm, enveloping Jialan'er and Cao Yuanhai.
"Fuck, what the hell is this thing!" Jialaner couldn't help but swear while dodging the attack of the sound blade.
The power of this sonic blade storm was too strong. She couldn't get close to the lake at all, let alone save Baili Pang'er.
Cao Yuanhai on the shore was unable to dodge and was hit by several sonic blades. He groaned and staggered back a few steps.
He was pale, covering his wound, his eyes full of horror.
Jialan'er hesitated in the storm, wondering whether to help Cao Yuanhai first.
Just then, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ankle, as if she was bitten by something.
She looked down but saw nothing.
The next second, Cao Yuanhai suddenly seemed like a different person. His eyes became empty and lifeless, and his movements became stiff.
His hand uncontrollably reached for the hilt of the knife, and he slowly pulled out the long knife, with the tip of the knife pointing directly at Galan'er.
Jia Lan'er was horrified and quickly stepped back, asking in shock, "Cao Yuanhai, what are you doing?!"
The corners of Cao Yuanhai's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was trying to resist something.
He glanced at Jia Lan'er with a complicated expression and said with difficulty, "Quick... take Baili... away..."
Jia Lan'er followed Cao Yuanhai's gaze and saw the roof of a skyscraper in the distance.
A skinny figure wearing a dark red cloak was standing there.
He held a puppet-like device in his hand, controlling Cao Yuanhai's actions.
"Liu...Young...Man..." Cao Yuanhai squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and then completely lost control of his body.
"Hurry up!" Cao Yuanhai's voice became cold and unfamiliar, and he swung the long sword in his hand suddenly...
