Chapter 1236: The Only Counterattack
âBut you should have noticed by now⊠My target this time is actually just you. Although her appearance was unexpected⊠do you really think you can walk out of this room alive?â The other party sneered coldly, murderous intent surging.
Ling Mo glanced around the room⊠The real door was never in a place he could see at a glance, so it was obviously even harder to find. If he really tried to grope around, heâd probably fall right into the otherâs trap.
The best thing to do now was to stay alert and remain where he wasâŠ
âWhatâs wrong? Too scared to move? Well, if I were youâŠâ
âYouâre the master of ceremonies from earlier, right? The one who pretended to be a corpse for roleplay, killed a bunch of Zombies to have them attend your wedding with you?â Ling Mo interrupted him again.
The man was stunned for a moment, then couldnât hold back and shouted, âWhat kind of commentary is that! Donât make it sound like Iâm so pathetic!â
âSo you really are that master of ceremonies?â Ling Mo took the piece of fabric Ye Lian was holding, shook it, and said.
ââŠYouâre trying to trick me!â The man immediately reacted.
âNot really, I just canât be completely sure.â Ling Mo answered honestly, âThis fabric doesnât even show its original color anymore, do you really think I could recognize you just from this? But you can hide your presence, and youâre wearing such disgusting clothes, so youâre most likely that missing master of ceremonies who could only host a corpse wedding, standing all alone on the stageâŠâ
âSo why do you have to add that commentaryâŠâ The guy snorted angrily, then said, âCan you stop calling me master of ceremonies over and over? I know who you are, so before you die, you should know who I am too⊠My name is Mantis.â
âCorpse master of ceremonies is already pretty pitiful⊠I didnât expect the main body isnât even human.â Ling Mo muttered under his breath.
âI heard that!â Mantis said angrily, but soon he sneered again, his voice drifting unpredictably. âYouâre trying to interfere with me, arenât you? Not bad, worthy of being a strong, battle-hardened Survivor⊠You just walked the line between life and death, and youâre already using these little tricksâŠâ
âTchâŠâ Ling Mo curled his lips⊠This guy isnât stupid!
But thinking about it, to be able to set up so many traps in just one day, with such unpredictable arrangements and such clean, decisive methods⊠all of this showed that the opponent was a ruthless and experienced Survivor.
And his Superpower⊠was extremely special tooâŠ
Both Ye Lian and he had stared at that master of ceremonies before. But at the time, they hadnât realized he was actually alive!
Even after the other admitted it himself, Ling Mo still found it unbelievable.
But not understanding was one thing; staying calm was anotherâŠ
So at this moment, Ling Mo still wore a calm expression, even speaking in a casual, chatty tone: âWith such a striking image, I suppose in your CampâŠâ
âHehâŠâ The other laughed and said, âSwitching tactics to try and win me over now?â
âYou must be someone everyone tries to avoid.â Ling Mo continued.
âYou actually finished your own sentence!â Mantis was speechless⊠When he interrupted the other, he didnât get any payback at all! Instead, he was cleanly and completely ignored! RáŒêÈȘáÆĆ
The most infuriating thing was⊠the other party had no intention of winning him over at all! This was blatant mockery!
And he⊠got slapped in the face twice in an instantâŠ
Clap clap clap! Both cheeks hurt!
âFine⊠I admit youâre really good at pissing people offâŠâ Mantis couldnât hold it in anymore.
Looking at Ling Moâs posture, he seemed ready to just sit down with that cup of tea and keep mocking him over and over.
And just as he thought that, Ling Mo really did bring the teacup to his nose for a sniff, then, without warning, hurled it straight at the wall: âIf you have time to make tea, you have time to wash your face!â
âDamn it!â
Mantis was going crazy⊠Was this guy thinking that even if he couldnât hit him, splashing him would be good enough?
And this style of taunting⊠this guy was really relentless!
âWhoosh!â A figure finally appeared, this time darting in from Ling Moâs side.
But Ling Mo was clearly prepared⊠He chuckled, then dodged aside with Ye Lian.
With the Host Bodyâs help, his physical reaction speed had clearly improved a lot. And with faster, stronger Tentacles, his movements became even more agile.
No matter how fast Mantis attacked, with Ye Lian ready to counter, it was hard for him to get close to Ling Mo a second time.
So after missing, he retreated back into the darkness, then waited for another chance to pounce.
After several attempts, he missed every time, while Ling Mo kept taunting, âCome on, come on!â
Now Mantis felt something was wrongâŠ
Panting slightly, he roared, âAll you do is dodge, you bastard!â
Just provoking and not fighting, and still so righteous about it! And this kind of guy even had such a pretty girl with him!
Thereâs no justice!
And⊠is it really okay for a mental ability superhuman to be this agile!
âSo you plan to just drag this out, huh!â the mantis said. âYouâll slip up eventually.â
Psychological warfare-overthinking only makes real mistakes more likely.
âArenât you the same?â Ling Mo snorted disdainfully, then said smugly, âBesides, Iâve got two people on my side.â
âDamn it!â The mantis was driven mad again.
You know itâs two against one! Then show some backbone and fight back properly!
But Ling Mo wasnât wrong. With two on his side, he could definitely outlast the mantis⊠And the most troublesome thing was, for some reason, he seemed to be getting more experienced at dodgingâŠ
Even so⊠if one side defends for too long, a flaw is bound to appear. Plus, the mantis was only targeting him, which made it even more likelyâŠ
The mantis took a deep breath, feeling like he was starting to grasp Ling Moâs dodging styleâŠ
Next, as long as he burst out with everything, found an opening and landed a hit, he could finish off this guy with a big reputation but an annoying personalityâŠ
But what the mantis didnât notice was⊠Ling Mo was showing a faint smile at that momentâŠ
âWhoosh!â
The mantis charged out again, but this time, just as he slipped into the darkness, a series of muffled thuds rang out.
A muffled groan came from several meters above and to the side of where the mantis vanished, followed by a few drops of fresh blood dripping down.
âSwish!â
Ye Lian leaped up, and after a burst of fierce noise, a figure was thrown down with a heavy thud, crashing hard onto the ground.
Just as he tried to move, a Tentacle had already pinned his palm to the floor, and at the same time, Ling Mo stomped on his wrist.
âIâd advise you not to move.â Ling Moâs voice sounded rather leisurely now.
The mantis tried to resist, but Ye Lianâs figure appeared beside him, and with a single step, she pinned down his other hand.
âAh!â The mantis let out a miserable scream.
Unlike Ling Mo, Ye Lianâs light step instantly ruined his hand.
A comminuted fracture-the sound alone was enough to make anyone winceâŠ
Ye Lianâs lips curled up slightly because of it, but neither the mantis nor Ling Mo noticed.
âI was wondering⊠youâre so agileâŠâ Ling Mo sized him up, then fixed his gaze on the mantisâs palm. âThese are Zombie nails, right⊠Theyâre so long.â
This mantis really was like a mantis⊠Ten fingernails like ten Broadswords. You rarely see that on a humanâŠ
As for the mantisâs body⊠it was unmistakably like a corpse.
His eyes had returned to normal, but the yellowish whites were still rather creepy.
For someone to turn himself into this⊠it wasnât easy.
âYou should understand your situation now, right?â Ling Mo asked again.
The mantis twitched in pain, rolled his eyes at Ling Mo, and gritted his teeth, asking, âHow did youâŠâ
âWant to ask how I knew where you were?â Ling Mo interrupted him again.
This time, the mantis didnât even have the strength to be angry. He bit his pale lips and nodded, âThatâs right! You wouldnât waste your energy just to try your luckâŠâ
After so many evasions without counterattacking, Ling Moâs reason was clear to the mantis.
Both sides knew he wouldnât just stay put, and even if Ling Mo swept past, he might not hit him.
If it didnât work the first time, it would be even less effective the second.
But Ling Mo didnât strike until he was sure, and when he did, he took him down⊠His teamwork with Ye Lian was so seamless, the mantis had no chance to struggle and was instantly defeated.
âI donât want to die without knowing why!â the mantis roared.
âIs that soâŠâ Ling Mo stared at him with a smile.
But the mantis felt a little guilty under Ling Moâs gaze⊠He braced himself and said, âYes! Otherwise⊠no matter what you ask, I wonât tell you!â
âAlright then,â Ling Mo said, glancing at a wound on the mantisâs shoulder, âWhat if I told you it was the smell of blood-would you believe me?â
âThe smell of blood?â The mantis was stunned.
Speaking of blood⊠the woundâs blood hadnât even started dripping yet. But after repeated attacks, the wound had definitely gotten biggerâŠ
But the smell of blood⊠wasnât the whole room filled with it?
To pick out a moving scent in such a strong odor-how was that possibleâŠ
âImpossible!â the mantis shook his head.
âNothingâs impossible,â Ling Mo replied.
Just then, the mantis saw Ye Lianâs eyes.
Her eyes first turned blood-red, then her pupils contracted and spun like a Kaleidoscope.
âYouâŠâ
The mantisâs face changed dramatically, his mouth gaping wideâŠ
He was utterly shockedâŠ
There was actually a real Senior Zombie here!
