Chapter 278: Cutting off the tail……
Once again, Torres rushed out, but was hit by projectiles from all directions in just a moment. The sources of the attacks were all employees who were well prepared... Without paying attention to these attacks, Torres rushed towards the employee that Shen Yue reminded.
...Seeing that the situation seemed to have nothing to do with him, Shen Yue had no intention of intervening any further. He extinguished the God-killing Flame and stood there as if watching a show. On the contrary, Prism chose to continue to help, and the Rejuvenation Ring Blade he threw out accurately predicted Torres' position and hit him hard.
...Seeing Torres coming towards him, the employee calmly and quickly dashed forward to dodge... This dash was perhaps the most strenuous one in his life so far (?)
...Then, Torres, who had missed his target, suddenly leaped up into the air, and at the moment he reached the highest point, he spewed out a large number of sand arrows, and then fell quickly into the sand.
Looking at those sand arrows, they were the same color as the raging sand that was sweeping around, and because of the visual obstruction of the flying sand, they were difficult to detect - and soon, an employee was hit without paying attention.
Although the sand arrows were not fatal under the protection of the armor, the trauma they caused was significant enough.
Wilson, who was out of the range of the sand arrows, pinched his brows and looked at his injured subordinates, feeling very uncomfortable... Then, he looked at Shen Yue again, and was about to ask Torres about his next move, but suddenly found that Shen Yue's casual expression changed slightly.
"Hmm? Something seems wrong?" As Shen Yue spoke slowly and softly, a sand shark suddenly rushed out from his side. Yes, it was a normal-sized sand shark. Shen Yue used his magic power and flicked his hand gently. A rage of god-killing flames swept across, and the sand shark fell to the ground with its skeleton.
...At the same time, three sand sharks suddenly jumped out from the surroundings of the employees, each attacking a different target...Fortunately, the employees reacted quickly enough and concentrated their fire in time to send the sand sharks back to the ecological circulation system.
"Why are there still little ones coming out..."
Shen Yue was thinking... Suddenly, she seemed to sense something. She was stunned at first, then she slapped her forehead and ran away.
In fact, Shen Yue never thought about what the significance of the appearance of these sand sharks was.
Too careless and too casual.
The next second, Torres suddenly rushed out from nearly ten meters away from Shen Yue, and then rushed towards Shen Yue.
...As an intelligent creature, Torres obviously noticed the laxity that Shen Yue had just shown, so it used a "tactic" to summon some sand sharks as a cover to attract attention, and then launched a surprise attack itself.
As for the target of the raid, Torres chose Shen Yue. After all, he had killed so many of his tribesmen and stuffed a ball of fireworks that was still burning into his mouth. When would he avenge himself?
Seeing Torres attacking, Shen Yue was obviously not mentally prepared. She stepped back quickly, but was obviously not faster than Torres. She was thrown into the air by the latter's fierce push.
Being in the air, with no contact objects, Shen Yue's sense of crisis immediately prompted him to instinctively activate his magic power, and a layer of god-killing flames appeared on his hands.
Looking at Torres again, it thrust forward again in a vertical upward form. This time it opened its mouth, revealing its deep mouth and shark teeth, and it seemed that it wanted to swallow Shen Yue into its mouth.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shen Yue has completely surrendered his consciousness to instinct:
Driven by instinct, she didn't even know what she had done. When she came to her senses, she saw Torres, with his entire tail missing, burrowing into the sand in a panic... and in her hand she was holding a heavy, scaly shark tail, with a bit of god-killing rage still burning at the cut.
……
"Uh, what happened? I didn't see clearly."
"The girl dodged the sand shark very swiftly, and then cut off its tail with her hand blade...?"
"It's not as simple as your words. Her entire movement is particularly smooth. She has the awareness of the movement in such a short time, and her body is agile... Let me tell you, can you do a somersault without any support?"
“Wow…this…”
"Eh...?" Shen Yue scratched his head in confusion. He first threw down the Tail of Thores in his hand, then walked quickly towards the prism, "Ah, Jing'er, do you know what my action just now looked like? My subjective consciousness seems to have not reacted..."
"...It seems that what you did just now was indeed an instinctive action of yours." Prism said softly, "To put it simply, you used an unsupported backflip to avoid the attack of the sand shark, and cut off its tail with your hand blade while falling. Then you should know?"
"Oh, that sand shark!" Shen Yue said as she continued to track and sense Torres' breath... However, she found that this time Torres was just going deeper underground, and the breath she could sense was decreasing exponentially... Soon it could no longer be sensed at all.
"Uh, it seems to have run away?" Shen Yue scratched her head, then she seemed to remember something, turned her head and looked at Wilson, saying:
"By the way, the sandstorm should be over by now, right?"
Wilson stared at the data watch on his wrist, then nodded and replied, "Well... about the same. If the predicted data is accurate, then [Sand Eagle Ec-3] will end in 31 seconds.
After saying that, Wilson pinched his brows, sighed, and said: "...The damage caused by this sandstorm is immeasurable. The site is almost completely destroyed, two employees died, and we can't even kill that damn sand shark..."
"Fuck! If it hadn't run away, I would have gone up and fought it to the death! That bastard Ops still owes me money for cigarettes and alcohol! That damn sand shark killed my brother Ao, who can I ask for revenge!?"
"Hiss... now it's good. Normally we call Vollan 'Old Vollan', but now Old Vollan has really become a prisoner..."
"Lao Fu Lao Ao was clearly talking to us just a few minutes ago, but now... Well, you guys can just go with peace of mind..."
"...Okay, everyone be quiet," Wilson held his forehead and read out the subtitles on the data watch:
"At this point, the severe sandstorm [Sand Eagle Ec-3] has completely ended."
...At this time, the desert has settled down, there is no more flying sand, the scorching sun shines again, and a sense of wildness belonging to the desert gradually returns.
...After that, Wilson and the other employees didn't say anything. They just stood in a row in silence, watching Prism and Shen Yue with calm eyes.
……
"…What are you doing with this shark tail?"
On the way to officially leave the desert, Prism looked at Shen Yue with some confusion. The latter was stuffing the long shark tail of Torres that he had cut off into his storage space.
"Hey, guess what?" Shen Yue smiled mischievously, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, what level of enemy monster is that huge sand shark just now in the Terra continent?"
"Well... Looking at the continent, it's just an ordinary enemy monster... But, based on the average combat power of Terra today, it might be able to kill a small town."
"Hehe, okay, anyway, I took its tail because I wanted to show off to my mom. Just think about it, I cut such a big sand shark in half!"
"... A perfect cut in half..."
"Hehe...just tell me." Shen Yue said with a smile, and at the same time stuffed Torres' tail into the storage space. Then she reached out and hugged Prism's arm.
"Well... Jing'er, go back and let me eat the delicious food you made."
Prism pulled his arm free and said, "Don't hold me if your hands are full of fish smell...Also, if you want to eat, you may have to share the table with another person?"
"Hey, it's okay, I can compete with that kid for food!"
Hearing this, Prism covered his mouth and smiled: "Oh? That's good, I won't waste my creation this time?"
Shen Yue rubbed his hands together: "Hehe, don't worry, I'm not picky about food. I guarantee I'll eat everything Jing'er makes! I'll even let you lick the plate until it's shiny!"
