Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Encounter

The middle-aged man looked unkempt and unkempt, with a slightly emaciated figure outlined under his cloak.

He glanced at the messy scene in front of him with reddened eyes: "The Shadow Guards are half gone...... Don't tell me it's Charlie's blind boy again, he'll be dead if I catch him, and dare to make a noise during my experiment......"

He looked very angry and agitated, and listening to his tone, it seemed that some guy named Charlie often came here to make trouble, and it was obviously impossible for it to be Longinus's man, there was more than one wizard in this place? Ye Yuxuan didn't believe that a sorcerer's slave dared to tease his master like this.

And judging by the information revealed in his words, what kind of experiment does he seem to be conducting? So much so that he reached the point of forgetfulness, and such a big movement outside failed to alarm him. Judging from his bloodshot eyes and scruffy appearance, it is very likely that he has been in a state of sleep and food for several days for this experiment, what is it that is so important?

Ye Yuxuan had no way of knowing the answers to these questions, and he didn't think it was a good idea to rush to put the gun on the girl's head and ask now.

"What's going on here?" The man who suspected of being a wizard examined the scene again, and with a puzzled expression on his face, he asked a shadow servant with a knife beside him.

The shadow servant grunted with its hands, but it was unable to express any valuable information due to its lack of vocal organs like humans.

"Oh, come on, you low-level guys just don't have good brains. I've also built a set of alchemy equipment for none of you. The man shook his head and began to check the situation himself.

Ye Yuxuan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, if this continued, he would find himself and his teammates sooner or later, and he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving for a while. Although the purpose of Ye Yuxuan's trip was to find the hostages and deal with the wizard, he didn't want to be in this situation.

"Yezi, we may be exposed." Hiding on the other side, Su Mu said in the neural network.

"I know, I'm trying to figure it out." While observing the situation, Ye Yuxuan speculated on the strength that the new enemy in front of him might have, and considered the course of action in each case.

Yui remained silent, she just silently looked at the man who appeared as a suspected wizard, and her eyes revealed a chill that could not be concealed.

The shadow slaves who had previously suspended their actions due to the appearance of their master soon came back to their senses, continued to take a fighting posture in the direction where Ye Yuxuan's team was located, and re-established a defensive formation.

"What the hell? Is that kid still here? The middle-aged man frowned, and walked slowly in the direction the shadow guards were facing.

Seeing the man who was suspected of being a wizard gradually approaching the team's position, Ye Yuxuan's trio clenched their weapons one after another, ensuring that they were in a state where they could attack at any time.

"Huh?" The man walked halfway, suddenly stopped, squatted down and rummaged through some unusual finds—a piece of cloth armor torn by Ye Yuxuan's bullet.

"This is ......" The man looked at the fracture of the cloth armor in his hand, and there was a hint of horror in his eyes, obviously seeing a hint of clues. Then, he took a few more steps forward, and found a strange pool of burning residue on the ground, which was clearly not what the magic side should be.

"God, this defilement...... They finally found this ......" Before the man finished speaking, Ye Yuxuan gave the order to raid: "Fire!" From this guy's words just now and his previous demeanor, Ye Zi was able to conclude that he was someone from the wizard's side, not the hostage they were looking for.

Under his intentional control, the trajectory of the bullets was basically concentrated together, and from the perspective of the target, it seemed like a piece of bullet cake composed of bullets flying towards him.

Even in the situation of being attacked by a sneak attack, the middle-aged wizard still reacted the moment Ye Yuxuan appeared, but it took time to raise his hand to defend this action after all.

In the nick of time, the wizard finally completed the steps needed to cast the spell before he was smashed into a sieve by bullets.

I saw a thick white light burst out from the palm of the middle-aged wizard's outstretched right hand, and finally formed a hemispherical shield of light, completely protecting the wizard's body behind him.

The depleted uranium bullets containing thousands of joules of kinetic energy began to burn after passing through this thin membrane-like shield of light, and finally dissipated into the air in front of the wizard.

"What?!" Ye Yuxuan couldn't strike a blow and quickly retreated, this was the first time he had made an enemy of a wizard, even if it was just a simulation, this way of fighting made him very uncomfortable - the enemy had enough intelligence and strong strength, and the way of fighting was so surprising.

At the same time, Yui, who was not far away, also happened to circle behind the wizard, aiming, firing, and 5 high-powered pistol bullets shot almost along the straight trajectory of the wizard's exposed back.

However, the sound of the M500 firing was so loud that the wizard immediately spotted the deadly threat coming from behind. I saw that he began to turn around, and while the right hand supporting the light shield shifted, his mouth began to chant incantations.

The bullets fired by the M500 also passed through the shield of unknown properties, but capable of producing ultra-high temperatures.

Since the distance between the palm of the right hand and the body became shorter after the wizard turned around, the kinetic energy contained in these 5 bullets was also better than that of the leaf. Therefore, when the five bullets approached the wizard's body, they still did not burn out, and still marched firmly towards the target.

Just when the three of them thought that this round of attacks would be able to severely damage their opponents, the middle-aged wizard suddenly sped up the speed of reciting the incantation, so that the chanting was completed ahead of schedule!

A translucent substance with a texture like glass appeared on the wizard's body out of thin air, condensing into a complete set of solid armor that completely covered his body, and the power of the bullet that had been weakened finally exhausted after hitting the armor, and was bounced back.

What's even more terrifying is that as the wizard recites a new incantation, the surface "glass" that was slightly damaged by the bullet then peels off, and a new "glass" is created out of thin air, filling the gap.

"Lying in a groove, how can I fight this." Su Mu completely saw the exaggerated scene before, and 10,000 alpacas rushed by in his heart, this feeling was like meeting an opponent in FPS, and a sense of powerlessness for no reason arose.
