At this mont, Chen Gu's position was extrely imprudent.
His entire attention was on the "Radiation Field," standing right in front of the cave entrance, but he was a bit too close.
Chen Gu stood there, effectively blocking the line of attack for at least three rcenary professionals behind him. In other words, if a monster charged out from the cave, it could gleefully use Chen Gu as cover to attack the other rcenaries from behind.
Bu She was both fearful and resentful towards Chen Gu at this ti. He didn't dare to confront Chen Gu directly, instead constantly using his gaze to signal their leader, Xulong.
However, Xulong was also in a difficult position. Chen Gu had, intentionally or unintentionally, saved the entire Beast God Seal rcenary group several tis. Even though Chen Gu had so suspicious aspects, Xulong, as the leader, was more prudent and understood the situation. He knew he should persuade Chen Gu to retreat, but he hesitated and didn't speak up imdiately.
Dou Mao, responsible for protecting their client, was the furthest from the cave entrance. As it happened, Chen Gu completely obstructed her view, so she couldn't even see the situation at the cave entrance at all.
Dou Mao shouted on the spot, "Do you want to get yourself killed? Move aside!"
But Chen Gu still didn't budge, even turning a deaf ear to Dou Mao's words. Dou Mao exploded with anger, "What on earth are you thinking at such a critical mont? Do you want to get us all killed? We really shouldn't have worked with you. Is this the kind of burden the Confederation's military trains?"
Chen Gu had been pondering the significance of the stone platform and the idol, so he naturally ignored Dou Mao. But her outburst, by a twist of fate, served as a 'wake-up call'; Chen Gu suddenly had a flash of insight and understood.
So that's how it is, Chen Gu thought. He then glanced at Dou Mao behind him but still wasn't angry. Although it was by a twist of fate, Dou Mao had, after all, unintentionally helped.
"Do you really want to move aside?" Chen Gu asked calmly.
Dou Mao replied irritably, "Of course! You're blocking our line of attack standing there. I'm saying this for your own damn life, don't be ungrateful!"
From Dou Mao's perspective, she had anticipated Chen Gu's lack of reaction. She was a powerful professional and the only female warrior in the Beast God Seal. Without her cha, her appearance and figure were top-tier.
Since childhood, she had been favored for her looks. Often, when she capriciously threw a small tantrum, people would indulge her. So fawning admirers even considered it 'charming frankness.'
So, of course, she didn't see anything wrong with treating Chen Gu so harshly—after all, that's how she had always been, and n always fell for that, didn't they?
Having received Dou Mao's response, Chen Gu nodded. "Alright then, I'll move. Actually, my standing here was also for your own sakes, but since you're being ungrateful, forget it."
With those words, Chen Gu stepped aside.
Dou Mao suddenly felt her view clear up, and her mood greatly improved.
But a strong sense of unease filled Xulong; he had a feeling that Chen Gu wasn't joking and that what he said was probably true.
While Xulong was still deliberating, a black-gray atball appeared at the cave entrance.
The atball squeezed in the entrance, swelling continuously. Xulong saw wave-like, dark-red patterns covering it and bellowed, "Attack!"
The Beast God Seal rcenaries struck together, unleashing various professional abilities, including energy weapons from their chas.
Skill effects scattered, and a multitude of colored lights engulfed the atball.
But the massive atball possessed a strange elasticity, bouncing back every attack!
Even Bu She's "Entanglent Control" failed to constrain the atball; instead, the ability rebounded and ensnared him.
This left Bu She in a sorry state, yelping as if tripped by his own thrown net and rolling about on the ground.
The atball continued to squeeze out until finally, with a POP, its huge body erged entirely from the cave entrance.
It landed on the ground and bounced a few tis.
"What the hell is this?" Ghost Ape couldn't help exclaiming. He then looked at Chen Gu. "Was Dao Fu killed by this thing?"
Chen Gu glanced at him indifferently and answered, "He is Dao Fu."
"Mutant!" The rcenary professionals imdiately understood. They felt a profound loss; their once comrade-in-arms had now turned into a Mutant, and they would have to eliminate him themselves.
At this critical mont, Xulong roared, "He is no longer Dao Fu! Anyone who hesitates or shows rcy will turn into the sa type of monster!"
anwhile, Xulong, as the leader, put his words into action. His palms spun, activating his "Potential Courier" ability and altering the atball Mutant's gravity. The Mutant was flung heavily towards the stone wall to the side.
THUD!
The Mutant slamd into the stone wall but sustained no damage. It simply bounced back, hurtling even faster towards Ming Yu on the other side.
Ming Yu was a rare type of professional, an "Ocean Wanderer," with abilities related to water, akin to so ancient legends of water elental envoys.
He exhaled a bubble from his mouth. It grew larger and larger, about to envelop the Mutant.
But then one of the wave-like dark-red patterns on the Mutant's body suddenly cracked open, forming a creepy, wide mouth that emitted a piercing scream.
