Chapter 895: The Fish Takes the Bait
Chapter 895: The Fish Takes the Bait
Upon hearing Bella's words, Boris and Ethan immediately lit up: "What's the identity of this Blue Star human? An ancient cultivator or a player?"
"Can't confirm yet."
"Never mind, let's go check it out and see what we can do!"
"Alright."
The three of them flew low in perfect synchrony, swiftly heading toward their destination.
...
Each of them was a Sixth-Rank High-Grade powerhouse. At full speed, they could fly at around 800 kilometers per hour. However, to avoid alarming their prey, they slowed down to half their usual speed.
Fifteen minutes later, they spread out 15 kilometers from their target, forming a crescent moon shape around the monster's lair. To their relief, the Blue Star human in the center of their trap seemed completely unaware of their presence, indicating their approach had been successful.
When they were just 10 kilometers away, they suddenly noticed the Blue Star human's aura becoming significantly agitated.
At that moment, the Blue Star human was still battling the monster in the lair, slowly gaining the upper hand and seemingly about to win. However, upon sensing their presence, the human became extremely anxious.
This sudden agitation was enough for Skrul's team to be 100% certain: this was definitely a Blue Star player!
Ancient cultivators from Blue Star were known for their cunning and would never show such a dramatic emotional fluctuation, even if they were surrounded.
This could only be a Blue Star player!
This realization brought a gleam of excitement to their eyes!
They had finally managed to corner a Blue Star player, and the substantial bounty reward was within reach!
Their mission had not been in vain!
Boris was especially delighted.
Just a moment ago, Ethan had been complaining about his prayers going unanswered. Now, he would eat those words!
Boris couldn't wait to kill this Blue Star player and throw the corpse in Ethan's face, thoroughly humiliating him.
"Ethan, Bella, move!" Boris roared when they were 8 kilometers from their target.
He burst into his fastest speed, flying forward to be the first to restrict the Blue Star player's movements.
Bella's psychic spells were even faster.
Even before Boris's voice reached them, she had already released several spells she had been preparing.
These were all "binding" spells, designed to immobilize the Blue Star human.
Ethan didn't join in the fray.
Instead, he set up a circle of magnetic gravity wires around the perimeter, which would immediately slow down the Blue Star human if they tried to escape.
He also pulled out a "Disintegration Beam Tower" from his storage space, their team's ultimate weapon.
...
As Skrul's team launched their attack, the Blue Star player seemed somewhat clumsy.
This Blue Star player was wearing a simple Sixth-Rank blue-quality robe and was battling a nearly 10-meter-tall, bear-like giant monster.
Sensing the arrival of Skrul's team, the player immediately used [Blink] to dodge to one side, then attempted to activate [Invisibility] to escape.
However, the giant monster had been thoroughly enraged.
The Blue Star player had just activated [Invisibility] but hadn't managed to move when the monster's fiery breath attack came barreling toward them.
A mage's [Invisibility] spell would immediately reveal their position if they were attacked.
Thus, the mage was immediately exposed to Skrul's team, their protective magic shield flickering violently from the fiery breath, nearly shattering.
The Skrull trio immediately recognized this rare opportunity!
If the mage successfully used invisibility, it would take a great deal of effort to find him. Now, they had far fewer troubles to deal with.
Bris immediately roared, "This Earthling is a mage! Be wary of his spells like Blink and Ice Barrier that can save his life, and also watch out for Dancing Flames of Destruction to break through shields. We can't let him go down fighting to the bitter end."
Ethan, you set up another layer of high-composite ion walls around the perimeter to prevent his escape!"
"Got it!" Ethan's voice echoed from a distance.
Buzz!
The "Disintegration Ray Tower" fired its disintegration beam, striking the Earth player first.
Three seconds later, Bris was just one kilometer away from his target.
Wealth, power, status... all the rewards were within reach! Bris took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and charged forward with his alloy shield, ready to smash the Earth player.
...
However, reality did not align with the trio's expectations.
This Earth player was none other than Su Yu, who had disguised himself to lure them in.
According to the judgment of the Saint Silver Federation, Su Yu could not take the initiative to attack the Skrull natives, and he remembered this rule well.
Since he couldn't act first, he had to wait for the Skrulls to make the first move.
He pretended to be a regular sixth-stage Earth player, engaging in a fake battle with the giant beast.
And the fish had indeed taken the bait!
As Bris charged forward with fierce determination, Su Yu's face broke into a faint smile, much like the joy of a farmer during the harvest.
Bris, who had been watching Su Yu closely, naturally saw this smile.
Though he was a heavily armored psychic warrior, he wasn't stupid.
Upon seeing that faint smile, he immediately realized they had been duped!
A cold chill spread from his heart to his limbs.
He quickly turned and shouted to his teammates, "Run, we've been tricked!"
His two teammates also sensed something was wrong and hurriedly turned to flee without a second thought.
But it was too late.
How could Su Yu let a cooked duck fly away?
After being hit by the "Disintegration Ray," Su Yu now had the chance to retaliate.
He extended his hands, and the Nature's Harmony gloves appeared. He activated the Natural Speed skill (dramatically increasing casting speed)!
"Ice Coffin, Frozen Tomb, Earth Prison!"
In a matter of seconds, three control spells flew from his hands, trapping the three sixth-stage Skrulls in mid-air.
The sky was filled with a mix of ice and earth elements, turning it a mix of yellow and blue.
The giant beast that had been "fighting" Su Yu was now completely stunned, its basketball-sized eyes wide with disbelief as it stared at Su Yu.
How could this clumsy alien suddenly turn into a boss?
And this boss was right in front of it—was it about to die too?
However, Su Yu had no intention of killing the giant beast.
After all, he had entered the beast's lair of his own accord, which could be seen as an invasion.
If he were to exercise his "right of self-defense" within the beast's lair, it wouldn't be justifiable.
So, he decided to let the beast go and only eliminate the three Skrulls.
