Petrifying Gaze was undoubtedly a very powerful psychic power.
But dealing with it was actually not difficult—just don't keep staring at it.
Therefore, this move was more commonly used during hunting, and if Sanrew was facing He Yueji now, he would definitely guard against this move of hers.
But the problem was that the move was now deployed by Ma Lu.
Ma Lu had already demonstrated the enhanced Electric Field and the ability to control beasts, so Sanrew never anticipated that he could also unleash a third psychic power.
As a result, Sanrew was rooted to the spot and t a tragic end with a stab through the heart.
Moreover, under the effect of the 0.5x speed player, Ma Lu's Petrifying Gaze could last for a full minute.
By the ti it ended, Sanrew had already cooled off.
Ma Lu even went over to check Sanrew's corpse again to make sure he was dead as doornails before he was satisfied and withdrew his hand.
Starting with the ambush laid by Black Horn's squad on the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group, leading to the consecutive takedowns of Black Horn's two captains—one deputy and one lead—the nearly month-long conflict finally drew to a satisfactory close today.
The only disappointnt was that Sanrew, being the big boss, was so stingy that not even a pair of underpants dropped.
And these underpants were literally just underpants.
After Sanrew turned to dust, his clothes, shoes, and various odds and ends he carried automatically fell off. This wouldn't have mattered normally.
You could just pick them up after the fight, but everyone was currently in a sandstorm, and Sanrew's clothes were whisked away by the fierce winds as soon as they fell off.
Engaged in the fight, Ma Lu couldn't afford to pick them up and could only watch them blow away.
It was a pity, but there was nothing he could do. Even if he chased after them now, he definitely wouldn't catch up.
Plus, he had more important things to do at the mont.
Ma Lu planned to go help Boggy deal with that Six-ard Ancient Ape. With the 0.5x speed player, the lifespan of the Corpse Puppet was extended from the previous 7 minutes to 14 minutes.
Although the battle between Ma Lu and Sanrew was tumultuous, it didn't last long—less than 6 minutes in total.
So, he still had plenty of ti to take down that Six-ard Ancient Ape.

That was a 7-star ingredient, and it was also Ma Lu's first encounter with such a high-level item.
But after taking a couple of steps, he stopped, turned back to where He Yueji lay, and picked her up from the ground.
This woman currently had no ability to act or defend herself. Leaving her here alone would be a bit dangerous; she could encounter wild beasts or people with ill intentions.
As the old saying goes, if you save soone, save them all the way; if you send Buddha, send him to the west. Ma Lu decided to carry her a bit further on the road.
As soon as he picked her up, he saw He Yueji's cheeks, which were rosy and burning, and her eyes, so fiery they seed to be slightly lting.
"What's the matter with you?" Ma Lu was startled. "Were you bitten by a snake?"
He vaguely rembered Boggy ntioning that the venom of the Red-bellied Rattlesnake raised body temperature and if the venom wasn't neutralized in ti, all the muscles in the body could end up dissolving.
"Yes, can you help suck it out, please?" He Yueji said coyly, her gaze bold.
"Where?"
He Yueji thrust her chest forward.
"I think you're seriously ill." Ma Lu let go, throwing her back to the ground.
He Yueji hit the ground hard, still face down. This ti, she didn't curse at anyone. Maintaining her butt-up position, she continued delicately, "If that's what you like, I don't mind~"
However, she was cut off before she could finish, as intense vibrations from underground interrupted her.
He Yueji's complexion shifted slightly, "Not good, looks like another big one is coming!"
"Don't worry, it's just my ride arriving."
No sooner had Ma Lu finished speaking than He Yueji felt an even stronger trembling beneath her, and then the ground began to rise steadily.
Sand cascaded down, revealing a massive beetle over 15 ters long, with a golden body underneath.
He Yueji's pupils shook violently, she exclaid in disbelief, "An Iron-Eating Scarab? How co there's another one here?!"
"Don't know, found it on my way here." Ma Lu reported truthfully, then paused before adding, "Hold tight, I'm in a rush, we're about to sprint."
But that was pretty much lost on He Yueji, who was truly drained by now, plus the back of the Iron-Eating Scarab was too slippery.
The mont it started running, He Yueji would uncontrollably slide off, but fortunately, Ma Lu was quick to catch her with one hand.
With his other hand, he grabbed onto the raised ridge in the middle of the Iron-Eating Scarab's back.
The Iron-Eating Scarab's three pairs of long legs moved rapidly across the sandy terrain, quickly reaching the area where the Hunting Team had previously battled the Six-ard Ancient Ape.
However, the Six-ard Ancient Ape was no longer there. Luckily, it hadn't gone far. Ma Lu noticed the red light diminishing quickly in the southeast direction and urged the Iron-Eating Scarab beneath him in that direction.
Indeed, he spotted the silhouette of the Six-ard Ancient Ape again, now even more wounded, with only two arms functioning.
And its movents had slowed to less than half of its original speed. But one must say that a seven-star is seven-star, with a ridiculously long health bar.
Even in such a dire state, it was still able to stand, but it was essentially running on its last leg.
Truth be told, Ma Lu didn't even need to take action; it probably wouldn't have lasted much longer on its own.
But still, Ma Lu got off the back of the Iron-Eating Scarab with He Yueji in tow and directed the giant beetle to charge forward.
Because no man can resist the thrill of giants battling it out.
He had not been fully satisfied by the movie of Godzilla fighting Kong, so now Ma Lu created his own sequel on the spot.
With the Six-ard Ancient Ape injured and down to two arms, it naturally played the part of Kong. The Iron-Eating Scarab didn't quite match Godzilla in appearance, but considering there were no other actors around, the decision was made to let it take the role.
As soon as the two behemoths t, they started fighting without a word, the Six-ard Ancient Ape swinging its fists in a fury against the Iron-Eating Scarab.
However, its previously infallible tactic t its match this ti. It struggled against the hard shell of the Iron-Eating Scarab, which, after withstanding the initial assault, boldly began to counterattack.
It reared up, grabbing the Six-ard Ancient Ape with its front legs, pulling it close and biting towards its shoulder with its maw...
The battle was intense and exhilarating. The Iron-Eating Scarab was not as strong as the Six-ard Ancient Ape, but turned into a Corpse Puppet and blessed with trinkets, plus the Six-ard Ancient Ape's severe injuries, the Iron-Eating Scarab ultimately won the final victory.
However, not long after its triumph, the ti limit for the Corpse Puppet expired.
And so, the Iron-Eating Scarab collapsed to the ground with the Six-ard Ancient Ape in its embrace, creating a thunderous crash.
They were worthy opponents, and it was a magnificent fight; the only regret was that it was too brief.
Ma Lu withdrew his sowhat wistful gaze and looked around, finding only three other hunters from the various hunting groups aside from the four from the Twin Sunflower group. As for the others, he didn't know whether they had perished or been scattered by the sandstorm.
