The Fallen Merman Chapter 110

Published at 12th of December 2022 05:25:37 AM

Bai Chunian slowly grasped the handle of the scythe. The long handle that was more than one and a half times his height was resting on the ground. When he held it tightly, it started buzzing with electricity, and blue lightning flashed through the blade, covering up the original crimson color. The fish-patterned electric light on his shoulders resonated with the electricity as the fishbone ore on his ear pulsed rhythmically.

Even though he had never seen this weapon before, he was strangely good at handling it, even more familiar with it than with any gun that he had honed his skills with countless times on the training ground. 

Rimbaud raised the tip of his tail and pushed his back lightly, “Goon. (Go.)”

But Rimbaud himself did not move. He wrapped himself around the stone pillar protruding from the cliff, his hands resting on the stone surface. His black pointed nails pierced deeply into the rock, stabilizing his body. He looked at the battle situation at this time with confidence and his fishtail swaying gently.

When Golden Silk Spider landed, he sealed the offensive routes with durable spider silk, wanting to return the same way he came.

Bai Chunian leaped forward, and when the blade touched the spider silk, it rippled slightly like waves on water's surface, cutting off the dense and sticky spider silk in an instant. Golden Silk Spider obviously underestimated the power of this weapon and jumped away with the mummy on his back. Bai Chunian swung the scythe, slashing an arc-shaped cold blue light across the chest of the Golden Spider, making numbness mixed with icy cold scrape against his chest.

The two fell to the ground separately, Golden Silk Spider was holding onto his chest with a bone-deep bleeding gash across it. The bulletproof vest and the spider silk wrapped around his body were all cut by the sharp scythe, and the spurting blood turned into a misty spider silk in the desert forest.

The fingertips of Golden Silk Spider trembled, and he manipulated the mummy to support himself. He struggled to stand up. An experimental subject could heal quickly, no matter how big the wound was, as long as a large area wasn't infected. But this time, the wound on his body didn't show any signs of healing.

As the scythe's wielder, Bai Chunian was also amazed. He couldn't help rubbing the long handle of the blue electric blade. “This is awesome. Wife, why didn't you take out such a good thing and share it with everyone?”

“No one else can use it.” Rimbaud lay on his side on the cliff and looked down at the battle with his head lowered. In his eyes, the outcome was already obvious. 

Han Xingqian observed this scene. In his research over the years, he had never encountered the current situation, but his predecessor, Professor Zhong, had such an idea and wrote an article called 'Research on the union, fusion, symbiosis, and driving relationship between glands.'

Judging from Golden Silk Spider's situation, the glands of Golden Silk Spider were in a joint relationship with the spider glands connected to the firearm he was holding, and the matching degree of agreement between the two was as high as 100%. Golden Silk Spider protected the gland, and this gland voluntarily contributed its abilities to Golden Silk Spider, making it a union of two separate individuals.

Professor Zhong boldly compared this prompted relationship to the relationship between gods and envoys, who served as a medium to carry God-given abilities.

As long as two independent glands could achieve these four types of relationships, their abilities would be much greater than those of two people cooperating in an ordinary way. These kinds of relationships were proof that 1 plus 1 would always be greater than 2.

Xiao Xun was lying on the ground, his whole body feeling a dull ache from falling from a high altitude. Han Xingqian gave him an analgesic. The PBB Thunder rescue team was also on standby at the port. There should be doctors in their team who could help with fracture recovery. Han Xingqian's J1 ability, Strength Reset, could only repair undamaged things, so visceral injuries would be restored immediately. However, fractures equivalent to bone damage couldn't be reset, so they could only be simply bandaged and fixed in place for now.

The dull pain in his internal organs was relieved, and the darkness in front of Xiao Xun slowly receded. He clenched his teeth, reaching out to grab the sniper rifle in the distance, holding it in his arms to reload it with difficulty. 

Han Xingqian stood beside him with his hands in the pockets of his jacket, not interfering with Xiao Xun's actions except silently releasing a soothing pheromone with Delphinium Consolida scent to ease his discomfort.

A sniper's body was precious, and the training cost was high. He was the most favored person in the entire team. Han Xingqian thought that Xiao Xun would lie down and wait for rescue, but the puppy covered in dirt and leaves kept trying to get up, gaining his admiration.

Han Xingqian picked up Xiao Xun by waist, lifted him up, quickly disappeared into the dry forest, glanced at the surrounding terrain, and said in a low voice, “Choose a spot.”

Xiao Xun's face was pale, and he pointed to a towering steep stone platform, “There.” 

Han Xingqian vigorously led him up and placed him on the stone platform. Xiao Xun laid down and aimed the sniper scope at Bai Chunian and Golden Silk Spider.

“The President said that Golden Silk Spider must not be allowed to approach the port.” Han Xingqian sat down, opened his notepad, and penciled in a few lines of notes, “An anomaly detection radar is placed under the Lessa Tower, which can track the experimental subject's location.”

Xiao Xun stared at Bai Chunian, who was fighting with Golden Silk Spider through the scope. “I won't let them get close.”

Han Xingqian savored the subtle word “them” and patted Xiao Xun on the shoulder, “I'm going to remove the anomaly radar, hope they catch up.” 

Xiao Xun laid motionlessly on the ground, leaning against the sniper rifle with one eye closed to gaze at the target, gave a soft hum, and said to the communicator, “I'm in place, 132.35 meters at three o'clock, please give instructions.”

Han Xingqian slowly exhaled, jumped off the rock, and drove towards Lessa Tower.

Golden Silk Spider was gradually weakening, but Bai Chunian slashed more and more smoothly, his dark eyes flashing with lightning. The blue in his pupils became more obvious as he used the scythe to cut the opponent's flesh and blood, nearing insanity and letting out a maniacal laugh from time to time.

Every time he swept the scythe, spider silk spewed out of Golden Silk Spider, and in just ten seconds, the ragged shirt was covered with flesh and blood. All the wounds slashed by the scythe could not be healed. 

The battlefield between the two of them kept moving, sometimes affecting the people around them, and everyone could only keep retreating.

Golden Silk Spider's spider silk from his ten fingers was connected to each joint of the mummy. He only needed to bend his fingers slightly to have the ability to flexibly control the movements of the mummy. He twisted his fingertips and when Bai Chunian rushed towards him, the mummy slammed into Bai Chunian's body from the side.

The long and narrow scythe was knocked away at an angle. The blade changed its direction and flew towards He Suowei.

When the blade was still two centimeters away from the bridge of He Suowei's nose, Bai Chunian grabbed the handle of the long sickle. At that time, He Suowei instinctively opened his J1 ability Total Lunar Eclipse, but the moment the scythe touched the Total Lunar Eclipse, the moon disk instantly started falling apart. 

He Suowei was stunned and took a half step back in disbelief.

They all thought that Bai Chunian had completely lost control and was killing indiscriminately on the field, but Rimbaud didn't think so, still looking indifferent and completely calm.

Golden Silk Spider was seriously injured, so the mummy wrapped its arms around him in a protective gesture, rubbed his head comfortingly, and the glands attached to the gun emitted a poppy-smelling pheromone. Under comfort of the pheromones, the wounds on Golden Silk Spider's body healed a little faster.

In fact, all these actions were controlled by Golden Silk Spider, and the mummy was only like a puppet, vividly acting as his protector. 

Bai Chunian approached him and tried to communicate with him in simplified sentences: “Stop resisting. Come with me, and I will take you to meet the president.”

Golden Silk Spider looked up at him blankly, and the beak mask looked a bit ridiculous on his face. Through the mask, Bai Chunian saw a pair of eyes filled with tears.

“Um.” Bai Chunian switched the scythe to his right hand, tentatively reaching out to appease him, “The president definitely won't kill you, and I don't want to kill you either.”

Lu Yan leaned on the rock with half of his head sticking out, looking down anxiously at them talking. Bi Lanxing wrapped him with vines to prevent him from falling from the high place. 

Bai Chunian didn't allow them to get close to Golden Silk Spider, because the gun of the Spider was too special. If a non-experimental subject was shot, he would bleed to death on the spot. He couldn't let the students take this risk.

Golden Silk Spider looked up dully, saw Lu Yan's bunny ears, and was stunned for a moment, as if this scene had exceeded the scope of his brain's calculations, making him very confused.

Bai Chunian took advantage of his daze, tempered the tip of his left finger, and quickly charged towards his neck. He had a gland suppressor ready; as long as he could find a chance to pierce Golden Silk Spider's nape, he could completely control him.

But the instinctive reaction of Golden Silk Spider was extremely fast. When Bai Chunian was about to touch his neck, Golden Silk Spider shot backhand at Bai Chunian's throat. 

If his throat was pierced and couldn't be healed, Bai Chunian would definitely die of suffocation.

A sniper bullet collided with Golden Silk Spider's rifle bullet precisely. Bai Chunian pushed away Golden Silk Spider and jumped back to the ground. The sniper bullet that prevented Golden Silk Spider from shooting Bai Chunian had embedded firmly into Golden Silk Spider's right eye socket.

Blood burst out from Golden Silk Spider's face under the beak mask, but Xiao Xun's sniper bullets were just ordinary bullets. Golden Silk Spider let out a whimper, and his eyes healed to their previous state.

This shot was considered revenge for Golden Silk Spider previously piercing Bai Chunian's left eye. Rimbaud's pupils converged into a vertical line, the corners of his lips curved, and he said in the communicator, as if afraid the world wasn't chaotic enough, praised Xiao Xun, “Katen (puppy), I love u.” 

The intense pain frightened Golden Silk Spider, and he turned around and ran away, dashing towards the port, while laying cobwebs along the way to intercept the pursuers on his back.

Bai Chunian followed.

Han Xingqian contacted him, “I'm destroying the anomaly radar. This thing is so sturdy that it will take at least 400 strength resets for it to be scrapped. Stall for a while; it will take at least ten minutes.”

Bai Chunian frowned. “He fled toward the port. The President is there, his gun is too dangerous.” 

Han Xingqian, “The anomaly radar is very sensitive. As long as you step into this area, you will be detected immediately.”

“Let's test it.” Bai Chunian jumped onto a dead tree, and then leaped to the stone wall flexibly and silently, “What can they do to me?”

Han Xingqian, “Lu Yan, Lanxing, stop him.”

Lu Yan, “I don't dare.” 

Bi Lanxing, “Likewise.”

Han Xingqian, “Rimbaud, stop him.”

Rimbaud laughed indifferently. “Although him being so protective over the little rabbit makes me a bit uncomfortable, I also want to see how they can treat him in my presence.”
