The Luckiest Dumb Doctor
Chapter 825 - Chapter 825 Chapter 825 The Hunt

Chapter 825: Chapter 825: The Hunt Chapter 825: Chapter 825: The Hunt At the entrance of the base, the restless ninjas from Cherrywood perked up the moment they heard this.

After all, according to their rules, whoever could hunt down a Superpowered Person would be eligible to seize their Bloodline Ability.

After deceiving so many people all over the world to come here, they rarely encountered good prospects. Most were Superpowered Persons with weak bloodlines, attempting to obtain the Soul-snatching Flower from them.

Little did they know… from the moment these people believed, they had already become their prey!

Meanwhile, deep in the jungle maze,

“Sister, these mutated three-headed wolves are really too difficult to deal with! If we keep fighting like this, I’m afraid we won’t even make it to the castle before we meet our demise halfway!”

Zoey Milton furrowed her brows, continuously releasing Ice Arrows to restrain the Ferocious Beasts while swiftly increasing the distance, attempting to kite them, blocking while looking for a way out.

Unfortunately, they soon discovered that at first they were barely able to hold their own in the fight, preventing the wolves from getting close.

As time went by, these wolves gained even higher resistance to frost.

In the ebb and flow of the battle, they caught up and lunged from behind, biting at them.

“This… these people probably never intended to let us reach the castle from the start!”

Karen Milton frowned, thinking that if she wasn’t wrong, the other seven people must be facing the same predicaments.

The maze was fraught with deadly traps everywhere, not only were the routes tricky, but there were also a great number of vicious beasts.

They were buyers, not subjects undergoing a test; under normal circumstances, they should not have been confronted with such severe challenges!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Suddenly, amidst the siblings’ struggle, a successive whizzing sound abruptly arose, bringing with it a barrage of illusions, targeting their heads as they rapidly approached.

“Be careful!”

Karen Milton was the first to react, shouting a warning and drawing her Treasure Sword, positioning it in front of her sister while releasing Cold Ice to freeze the air around them, using Sword Qi to block.

The Treasure Sword clashed with the hidden weapons, creating a cacophony of pitter-patter sounds.

Swish!

Just then, two dark shadows, one after the other, rushed swiftly towards them.

These two figures were dressed in black, with their faces hidden behind black veils, revealing only a pair of greedy eyes; in their hands were Short Blades, slicing through the air with a hissing sound.

It was the epitome of exploiting the advantage of a surprise attack!

“Hmph! Just as I suspected!”

Karen Milton’s lips curled downward, her expression growing colder, “Zoey, take one each, let’s make this quick!”

Having said that, she locked onto one of the attackers. Moving her hands quickly through hand seals, a series of sharp, solid ice spikes rapidly condensed in front of her, propelling forward unstoppably.

“Yo-heave-ho! Your Special Ability isn’t bad, I’m taking it for myself!”

Contrary to expectation, the ninja in black showed not the slightest fear. Upon seeing the execution of the Cold Ice Ability, he became even more thrilled.

He neither dodged nor retreated, wielding his blade forward with a swing that was intermixed with roaring flames, colliding with the ice spikes and swiftly melting them.

This indicated that his strength was far superior to Karen Milton’s; otherwise, opposing Special Abilities wouldn’t be negated by him so effortlessly.

Boom!

In an instant, the ice spikes turned to water, and the fierce flames continued to bear down on Karen Milton unabated.

Karen Milton did not dare to be negligent, and immediately spurred her Special Ability, releasing a vast expanse of cold ice breath, trying to forcibly freeze the flames.

However…

The man in black moved significantly faster than her; as the flames barely reached him, the sharp short blade had already stabbed toward Karen Milton.

The cycle of linked deadly moves arrived at the same time, leaving Karen Milton with no room for choice but to confront the opponent head-on.

With a hiss, long and short weapons crossed, sparking a shower of sparks.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black kicked Karen Milton’s abdomen, sending her flying backward like a kite with its string cut.

Crack!

On the other side, the same was true for Zoey Milton, who was slightly less powerful than Karen Milton to begin with; no sooner had they clashed than she was knocked down on the spot.

“Hahaha… You two sisters really are strikingly beautiful! It’s truly a pity to kill you just like that!”

The two men in black laughed triumphantly, looking at each other and instantly understanding each other’s intentions.

One of them stepped closer to Karen Milton, excitedly saying to his companion:

“Hey! How about a competition? Let’s see who disarms the other first! The loser gives up a Soul-snatching Flower!”

“Tch, I’m famously known as ‘Lucky Seven’, competing with me in this, you’re bound to lose.”

They spewed vulgarities as they moved their hands and feet nonstop, grinning sleazily as they reached for the bodies of the Milton sisters, Zoey and Karen.

“Sister!!”

Seeing this scene, Zoey Milton, though she was innocent in such matters, understood what the two men in black intended to do. She shrank back in fear, at a loss for what to do.

Karen Milton swallowed hard and mustered all her strength to thrust out her Treasure Sword, attempting to struggle.

But just as she made a move, the man in black in front of her flung his hand, tossing her Treasure Sword away.

“Heh heh! No use struggling, the more you struggle, the more excited I get! If you don’t want to die too unseemly, I advise you to just cooperate with me and please me!”

The ninja in black said this and was about to start undressing.

Hum!

Unexpectedly, the next second, what they hadn’t anticipated happened: two blazing golden lights descended from the sky, mixed with the high-speed spinning air current, piercing straight through their hearts.

They hadn’t fully reacted before their bodily functions gradually dissipated, their consciousness increasingly blurred, ultimately falling to the ground.

Before dying, they saw, unbelievably, a figure calmly walking out.

“You… you’re the one who was on the same carriage with us earlier?”

Zoey Milton stared at the person in surprise, quickly remembering this was someone who, like them, had come to this castle to buy the Soul-snatching Flower!

Karen Milton also recognized the identity, cautiously picked up the Treasure Sword, and eyed the newcomer as she asked, “Why did you save us?”

Before coming, they had found out that this base sold only three Soul-snatching Flowers each month. That is to say, although eight people had come, in the end, only three would have a chance to buy them.

For these buyers, each death meant a slight increase in their chances; thus, Karen Milton thought that it was not in these people’s interest to save anyone!

What’s more, in such a critical situation, it was already quite a feat to save one’s own life, yet this man still made a move to help?

The man with the cold expression… or rather, Greg Jensen, quickly searched the corpses for valuables, and seeing no Soul-snatching Flowers, turned his head back with a hint of disappointment and said:

“We’ve all been tricked! From the very beginning, they had no intention of selling us the Soul-snatching Flowers, but aimed to lure us in this way, hunt us down, and strip us of our bloodlines and special abilities!”

He paused, then added concisely, “You two should follow me, I know the way out!”

“This…”
