Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 106 Fishing



But soon Ma Lu\'s visibility was obscured by the swirling sand!

The first things to disappear were the suns overhead, followed by all people and objects around, with visibility plummeting to less than two meters.

Finally, even the sounds vanished, and only the howl of the fierce wind remained in his ears!

The world seemed as if it suddenly had a filter applied, turning a murky yellow.

Under the onslaught of the hurricane-force winds exceeding 90 kilometers per hour, Ma Lu found himself involuntarily stepping back, feeling as if he was about to be swept off his feet.

However, with his current strength, he quickly regained stability, but the lighter hunters fared far worse, especially those who hadn\'t prepared in time.

Ma Lu watched a female hunter roll past him.

It seemed to be the same petite hunter from Cyren\'s team, He Yueji, who wanted to rush to the rescue when He Yueji was attacked. She hadn\'t reached the spot when the sandstorm hit, and after falling, she wasn\'t able to stand up and was blown away by the wind, rolling all over the place.

Who knows if she might just roll all the way back to the Giant Curtain.

Apart from the strong wind, the sand and tiny rocks carried with it were also deadly, hitting the body like bullets from an airgun, and if the mouth and nose were not protected in advance, they would be clogged with dust in no time, leading to suffocation.

That\'s when the Villain Mask showed its usefulness, with its built-in filter providing far better dust protection than a scarf, and the mask also shielded the face.

Ma Lu then used the radio communication feature attached to keep in touch with the other four members of his hunting group.

Boggy and Seta were still fighting the six-armed ancient ape at that moment.

They were among the few hunters in the hunting team who maintained their combat capabilities in the sandstorm.

Relying on their heightened reflexes, blessed by enchantments, they could dodge before the ape\'s fists could land.

The sandstorm was also affecting the six-armed ancient ape, making it hard for it to promptly detect the position of its enemies, plus the serious injuries it sustained also greatly hindered its movements.

Ma Lu also got in touch with Sadie and Mai Mai, intending to regroup with them first.

Mai Mai was lucky, although she had released an electric field, she triggered the [Power Bank] effect and did not consume telekinesis, so she was still lively and not at all enervated.

However, before they could agree on a meetup location, a cry of alarm came from Mai Mai\'s end, and then the communication was cut off.

Ma Lu tried contacting Sadie next, but all that responded to him was the noise of electrical currents.

—Someone was jamming the radio signals in this area!

It seems that there were others intent on nefarious deeds besides him.

Quick to react, Ma Lu immediately separated a small part of the red light from behind him to serve as a guard and move towards his location.

Meanwhile, he remained vigilant to the movements around him.

It didn\'t take long before a mechanical war axe flew out of the sandstorm from the side, heading straight for Ma Lu\'s head!

Yet, just before it was about to hit its target, it was caught by a hand.

?!

The assailant clearly hadn\'t expected that his seemingly certain strike would be so effortlessly neutralized.

And before he could launch another attack, four two-headed hyenas leaped out from the sandstorm, knocking him to the ground.

The attacker\'s eyes widened, aside from wondering why these four two-headed hyenas had appeared, what mattered most was that they had charged from Ma Lu\'s direction.

Logically, they should have first attacked Ma Lu, who was standing there, yet they ran past him as if they had suddenly gone blind, choosing to target him instead, who was farther away!

Why? The attacker couldn\'t understand, and he wouldn\'t be able to think any longer, because a Two-Headed Hyena had already bitten through his throat!

Ma Lu then took the mechanical axe in his hand for a closer inspection.

He remembered there was someone in the Black Horn who used an axe in combat, indeed Sanrew, though he always talked about the Giant Curtain, didn\'t forget his personal vendetta.

The guy must have found something during his investigations, so he also wanted to take advantage of this sandstorm to wipe them out.

However, Ma Lu now had piles of blessings on him, with just his basic Attributes being four times what they were originally.

This increase might not be enough to deal with the Six-armed Ancient Ape, but it was more than sufficient to take care of the other Hunters.

Moreover, his Corpse Puppet army had already arrived on the battlefield.

This straightened Ma Lu\'s back in an instant.

If it weren\'t for the presence of many other Hunting Groups\' Hunters, Ma Lu would\'ve just started auto-attacking to blast every living thing in the area, excluding the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group!

Now, he could only strive to search for Sanrew and the rest of the Black Horn in the sandstorm.

Fortunately, he didn\'t have to wait too long before someone else took the initiative to come to him.

That person\'s Psychic Power was Metal Armor, which could liquefy nearby metal and then drape it over one\'s body to form armor.

To be fair, this ability was quite strong, and his Metal Armor could even be used as a cage to imprison opponents.

Ma Lu hadn\'t been careful during their first encounter, and when he punched the man\'s Metal Armor, he sent him flying but also got his left hand encased in metal, receiving a free iron fist accessory.

But that Black Horn Hunter had also exposed himself and was promptly surrounded by the Corpse Puppets.

His metal shell\'s defensive power was indeed very impressive; it lasted 23 seconds before he was killed.

Ma Lu didn\'t know how the people from Black Horn were able to find him in the sandstorm, but this gave him an idea. He decided to slightly distance the Corpse Puppets around him and started flesh-and-bone fishing.

Believe it or not, this method was rather effective.

As long as they had a chance, the Black Horn\'s people truly dared to charge in. Using this method, Ma Lu killed three more of Black Horn\'s Hunters, but unfortunately, they were all small fries, and the biggest fish had yet to show its face.

And in the two minutes that followed, no one else attacked him.

Just as Ma Lu was considering whether or not to change locations, another figure appeared in the sandstorm ahead of him.

Ma Lu squinted his eyes, and when the figure approached two steps closer, the sandy wind revealed Sanrew\'s ordinary square face.

But this time, his face wasn\'t expressionless. He rarely showed anger and said in a heavy voice,

"Your companions have all been killed by me, now it\'s your turn."

Ma Lu chuckled, "Give it up, your guys couldn\'t even beat me, and you think you can kill the others?"

Ma Lu wasn\'t being modest; he indeed was the least capable fighter in the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group.

Seeing that he couldn\'t shake his opponent\'s composure, Sanrew didn\'t waste any more words and charged in.

His speed was much faster than the other Hunters before him, and his moves were clean and practiced, each one honed through countless repetitions.

Unfortunately, in the face of an absolute gap in Attributes, all skill and combat experience were useless. Ma Lu stepped back just a half step to dodge Sanrew\'s fist.

Then, powering up his back leg, he thrust the Chef\'s Knife in his hand into Sanrew\'s chest.

He did it? It was that easy?

However, before Ma Lu could rejoice, in the next moment, Sanrew\'s body turned into a pile of yellow sand, blown away by the violent wind.
