Chapter 567: 309 Begging for Mercy

In fact, the members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps were not weak. If they had truly faced off against Red Powder, it would not have been so easy for Red Powder to trap them. Unfortunately, they were intimidated by the strength of Fang Yuxin and the others, daring not to stay and resist. All they could think about was escaping.

Their panic naturally put them at a disadvantage. Red Powder attacked from behind, not giving them any time to react, and firmly bound them. Its spikes mercilessly pierced their bodies. Red Powder was a Mutated Rose, secreting a type of neurotoxic poison from its spikes, rendering the trapped prey immobile and unable to struggle. This was ineffective against zombies, but had a significant effect against mutant animals or humans.

At the same time, the fragrance of the flower also had a confusing effect. As the buds quietly bloomed, a light and sweet aroma was released, enveloping the eight people and making them even more powerless to resist, only passively enduring the agony of being gradually devoured.

Seeing this, the remaining members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps grew even more terrified. They didn’t want to die, especially not in such unbearable pain! So soon, some began to beg for mercy, "Please spare me! I was just following orders, I didn’t mean to harm you!" Although he was pleading, he did not put down his weapon, but gripped it even tighter. The others exchanged glances, also starting to hesitate.

However, these people were not fools. While pleading, they were secretly sizing up their surroundings, looking for a chance to break out. Just then, someone set their sights on Shang Jinxiu.

At this point, Shang Jinxiu had been injured. To be precise, everyone there had been injured, without exception. Because Shang Jinxiu was a Space-related superpower user and the weakest, Chen Qiao and others were intentionally or unintentionally protecting her. As a result, among them all, her injuries were actually the mildest.

The people of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps were very cunning, thinking that since the others seemed intent on protecting Shang Jinxiu, her identity might not be ordinary. One of them, who happened to know about Qin Xiran’s suspicion of Shang Jinxiu’s ambiguous relationship with Fang Yuyang, took his chances on targeting Shang Jinxiu!

At that moment, Shang Jinxiu was being protected in the middle by Chen Qiao and others, and everyone was at the end of their rope, merely struggling to hold on. The mission they were undertaking was inherently difficult, and after its completion, everyone was somewhat exhausted. They didn’t expect to be attacked by the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps before they could rest or replenish their energy using the Crystal Cores!

The members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps were all ruthless, with fierce moves. Chen Qiao and the others quickly sustained injuries, even struggling to find a chance to call for help, facing imminent total annihilation! Still, it was Chen Si who, despite being injured, managed to reach out to Bai Ye and asked him for help.

It was also their good fortune that Poison Wolf was interested in meeting Bai Ye, so he did not stop Chen Si’s plea for help! Although they were all at the end of their rope and couldn’t hold on for long, as soon as they knew that Bai Ye and his team were coming, a hope for survival ignited them, and they erupted with strong morale, tenaciously holding on until the reinforcements arrived.

But this desperate hold had worsened their injuries. If it were not for not wanting to be a burden on Bai Ye and his team, they would have collapsed much earlier!

After targeting Shang Jinxiu, the man also noticed the weary state of Chen Qiao and the others. Gritting his teeth, he directly charged at Shang Jinxiu! He was just about to grab her when suddenly he felt a strong gust of wind coming from the side!

The gust came with a forceful strike that would definitely cause serious injuries if it hit. The man hesitated for a moment, then decided not to dodge but to withstand it with his body while successfully grabbing Shang Jinxiu’s arm and pulling her towards him forcefully!

Shang Jinxiu cried out in alarm. Her other hand, wielding a military dagger, stabbed towards the man’s arm! Meanwhile, Zhou Han had already reached his side, his fist initially aimed at the man’s temple suddenly shifted direction and smashed towards his arm!

Zhou Han had enhanced his strength and speed, and although he was not as fast as a Second-level speed superpower user, he was not something ordinary superpower users could compare with. His punch was extremely powerful; the muscles in the man’s arm tensed up completely, thicker than Shang Jinxiu’s thigh and as hard as a lump of iron.
