Zouwu, Zouwu, that's the Zouwu!
A mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas!
And what kind of pathetic wish task is this? The reward is like dog shit, how can it compare to the Zouwu!
It's all this guy's fault!
Bai Ye cursed, "You're the one who insisted on hunting so many creatures in a dangerous area, what's it got to do with me!"
As Bai Ye spoke, an electric current suddenly surged through his body, and Li Jiayi was instantly sent flying, crashing into the wall behind him, shattering a piece of it.
Li Jiayi bared his teeth, then spread his hands, suddenly forming a Taoist seal.
"One Qi Yin Yang, Reverse Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth..."
Before Li Jiayi could finish chanting his Taoist incantation, a shout suddenly came from the side.
Bai Ye and Li Jiayi turned their heads, and saw several men running out from a corner, holding exaggerated, futuristic technological weapons, pure silver, very large, with a support at the end that could be fixed to the arm for aiming assistance.
In the next instant, the opponent raised their guns, and arcs of electricity appeared around the muzzles, followed by a beam of ionic energy shot out in Li Jiayi's direction.
"Kagune - Nine Tails!"
Li Jiayi rapidly retreated, while red bubbles surged from his back. His Kagune activated, and nine tails emerged from behind Li Jiayi, converging in front of him.
Boom!
The energy beam struck Li Jiayi's tails, blasting Li Jiayi's body backward by three or four meters, but the energy beam also shattered and was blocked.
On the other side, a pair of giant phoenix wing-like Kagune also spread out behind Bai Ye. He looked at Li Jiayi and said, "We have nine days, plenty of time to play. You just pray your number isn't caught by me."
As Bai Ye spoke, he flew into the air.
The Kagune Li Jiayi obtained in the ghoul area was powerful, no less than Bai Ye's mutated Kagune. However, in terms of functionality, tail Kagune had a natural disadvantage compared to wing Kagune, which was flight.
Thus, Bai Ye decisively flew away, leaving Li Jiayi to deal with the hunters.
Li Jiayi cursed inwardly, then fled towards a side alley.
In fact, Li Jiayi could still defeat a few hunters, even with their futuristic weapons.
In fact, ten minutes earlier, Li Jiayi had done just that, only to discover that getting entangled with the hunters was a very unwise move.
These guys were too numerous, and at this moment, they were spread throughout the city hunting nine participants, equipped with positioning and communication devices. Even a small delay would bring more hunters.
Furthermore, the opponent's hunting reconnaissance and positioning equipment was also extensive: unmanned drones, thermal imaging systems, nanotracking aircraft...
Therefore, once exposed, it would become incredibly difficult, constantly being pursued and tracked.
This left Li Jiayi with no intention of fighting, planning to find a way to shake them off first.
As he thought this, he emerged from the alley, and Li Jiayi's eyes suddenly lit up, then showed a hint of pain. He ultimately still ran to the side, jumping into a sewer undergoing repair work.
On the other side, Bai Ye was now experiencing Li Jiayi's pain.
Flying couldn't shake off those hunters.
Bai Ye quickly spotted two hunters on flying devices approaching rapidly from behind.
The so-called flying devices resembled skateboards but were twice the size of ordinary ones, capable of floating and moving in the air via magnetism.
"This thing should be considered mechanical, right?"
Bai Ye glanced behind him, and instantly, the two flying devices shattered into a pile of parts scattered in the air, and the two hunters fell from the sky.
But in that instant...
An energy beam suddenly rose from below, heading in Bai Ye's direction.
The large wings on his back converged in front of him, and Bai Ye blocked the incoming energy beam.
Bai Ye quickly looked down, searching for the source of the shot, but the opponent was cunning, disappearing into an alley and vanishing without a trace.
As the opponent fled, a buzzing sound erupted from behind Bai Ye again, and an energy beam rose from behind, hitting Bai Ye's back.
"Tsk!"
Bai Ye couldn't help but tut.
He wasn't seriously injured, but flying in the air didn't seem like a wise choice, as he was too obvious a target.
As for mechanical reconstruction, although it had a significant advantage in such a technologically advanced area.
However, mechanical dismantling wasn't something Bai Ye could just do by thinking. It required three conditions to be met.
The first condition was pure machinery, including sub-level machines, high-end energy machinery, and electronic products. However, if the mechanical item contained other elements, it would be invalidated.
For example, if a mechanical product was engraved with magic arrays, Bai Ye couldn't dismantle it.
The second condition was that the item to be dismantled must be within Bai Ye's field of vision. Bai Ye had to visually confirm the target before he could dismantle it.
In other words, if the opponent was far away, or if there were obstructions blocking the target, Bai Ye wouldn't be able to dismantle it using his mechanical reconstruction ability.
The third condition was mental strength. This was a common ailment for most superpowers. Except for powers that solely acted on the body, other powers relied on mental strength. Overuse would cause mental fatigue, and this fatigue could hardly be instantly recovered by medication, only by rest.
However, Bai Ye had few concerns in this regard. His mental strength had always been excellent, with a solid foundation.
The problem Bai Ye faced now was the second one. There were too many tall buildings and too many obstructions, meaning Bai Ye couldn't easily lock onto targets.
As Bai Ye thought this, he directly descended from the air, at least to avoid becoming a target.
The moment Bai Ye landed in an alley, trying to conceal himself, an unmanned drone flew overhead.
Bai Ye looked up, and the drone instantly shattered.
However, it was too late.
A man suddenly vaulted over the wall on the side of the alley and opened fire on Bai Ye while in mid-air.
Zzzzt!
Bai Ye's figure flickered, and large amounts of electricity crackled around him as he shifted backward by three or four meters, evading the opponent's attack.
The opponent tried to raise their hand to shoot again, but...
With a crash, the energy gun in the opponent's hand instantly shattered into a pile of parts.
The man was stunned, then quickly drew two handguns from his waist. But as soon as he pulled them out of their holsters, both guns turned into a pile of parts.
The man was a bit bewildered, but as an experienced hunter, he instinctively drew a metal mechanical serrated blade from his back. But the moment he raised it...
With another crash and the clatter of metal falling to the ground, the man was left holding only a hilt.
...
