CHAPTER 332: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 285, REVIEW AGAIN AFTER 12 O’CLOCK

"If you don’t say anything, how would he know we’re conspiring?" Li Zheng glared at Phoenix Mountain, feeling that he couldn’t just say that the mutant was merely a true projection and lacked the intellect of its original form.

Phoenix Mountain gently scratched his head, "I thought people aren’t deaf..."

Li Zheng interrupted him, "Alright, do as I said."

"Okay."

Li Zheng stopped paying attention to Phoenix Mountain and turned to look at Lin Fengjiao, "Borrow these two guns for now, return them to me later."

"...Thank you." Lin Fengjiao took the long and short dried fish from Li Zheng’s hand and hoarsely thanked him.

Having explained everything, Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou walked one after another towards the distance. Although the coverage of the Mysterious Declaration’s light wasn’t large, it was exceptionally conspicuous in the darkness.

Phoenix Mountain thought for a moment, took off his knuckles and put them on, then pulled out a revolver with an unusually large caliber and fired into the sky.

Bam!

Whoosh!

Sizzle~

The white phosphorus inside the bullet burned, emitting a blinding white light and thick smoke.

The entire "cell" was as bright as day under the effect of the flare.

Phoenix Mountain put away the signal gun, caught up with Li Zheng and the others, and said, "The flare can only last for five minutes, and I don’t have many of them, so let’s make it quick."

"Five minutes." Li Zheng squinted slightly, having already locked onto Ito Miho’s figure with the help of the flare, as she hid behind a stone pillar, revealing only the half of her body that was undergoing mutation.

"Enough time."

Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou exchanged a glance, knowing that even if they couldn’t take down Ito Miho in five minutes, they were confident they could escape back with everyone.

"Go!"

Li Zheng shouted and soared into the air, with the flying device behind him emitting a powerful jet stream, pushing him rapidly towards Ito Miho, dozens of meters away.

Zhan Zhouzhou said nothing, using a special step as she followed behind Li Zheng.

Though not as fast as Li Zheng flying, she wasn’t slow either.

Phoenix Mountain stepped on the ground with one foot, using his bursting power, closely following behind Zhan Zhouzhou.

Yan Guang and another person had already aimed ahead and started shooting.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Hundreds of miniature missiles trailed long tails of flames from their launch pods on the left arm, flying towards Ito Miho. They arrived first, causing a booming explosion, and firelight filled the air.

"Extreme Isolation!" Li Zheng’s movements didn’t stop, and he used an isolation ability on himself, then turned and threw one towards Zhan Zhouzhou.

Phoenix Mountain was a bit further away and out of reach, so he didn’t bother.

After the first round of bombing ended, Li Zheng dashed into the flames, searching for Ito Miho’s figure.

Crack, crack.

The two barely audible clicking sounds caught Li Zheng’s attention; his heart stirred, realizing something was wrong, and he immediately dodged to the side.

Boom!

A deafening roar.

The blast wave blew away the flames caused by the missiles, revealing Ito Miho’s fully mutated form.

Originally with the physique of an eight or nine-year-old boy, Ito Miho had transformed into an iron giant ape, her height surging fivefold to nearly six meters, like a small building.

The giant ape clutched the stone pillar that had been blown apart by the missiles, propped on the ground, its eyes glowing golden as it fixedly stared at Li Zheng’s still flying figure, letting out a loud roar.

"What power!" Li Zheng noticed the spiderweb-like cracks spreading across the ground, marks left from Ito Miho’s earlier blow with the stone pillar.

To cause such a scene, Ito Miho’s strength alone far exceeded that of ordinary Diamond-level creatures!

"Be careful, don’t go head-to-head with it!" Li Zheng looked down and instructed Zhan Zhouzhou following him, wielded his sword, and turned to charge at Ito Miho once more.

The giant ape transformation of Ito Miho was right in front of them, making Li Zheng, standing a little over 1.8 meters tall, seem like a weak child in comparison, only level with it while airborne.

Li Zheng flew to Ito Miho, stabbing straight with his sword, which was blocked by a stone pillar, sending a shockwave through his arm.

Even though Li Zheng had just entered the Gold Level physique, he found it difficult to gain any advantage against Ito Miho.

Below, Zhan Zhouzhou seized the opportunity to leap up, slashing her sword towards Ito Miho’s knee joint; if this strike landed, the leg would lose most of its functionality.

Ito Miho naturally noticed her, lifting the stone pillar with both palms in a forceful downward strike, determined to squash Zhan Zhouzhou.

"Bloodline·Burning!"

"Burst·Tenfold Amplification·Full Firepower!"

A robust figure rushed out from behind Zhan Zhouzhou, leaping high, palms raised upwards, trying to catch the stone pillar.

Li Zheng was shocked at what he saw, "Foolhardy!"

Phoenix Mountain, whether in physique or genetic ability tier, was no match for Ito Miho.

Such a rash encounter was practically courting death.

Li Zheng quickly thought of a solution and pulled out a long spear from the capsule, throwing it in Phoenix Mountain’s direction.

A strong sense of threat surged, sending Phoenix Mountain’s eyelids twitching wildly. Seeing the swiftly approaching spear, he had no choice but to switch his supporting palms to intercept the spear.

Puff!

The spear pierced through Phoenix Mountain’s palm, sending searing pain through him, and before he could curse the pain, the kinetic energy from the spear carried him aside, causing him to fly backward.

Before he could hit the ground, Li Zheng’s angry voice came, "Aren’t you aware of your own limitations?"

Li Zheng was fit to be tied, probably because Phoenix Mountain was accustomed to this kind of head-on combat style, and he underestimated Diamond and higher-level creatures, thinking his small frame could block Ito Miho.

If he had actually been hit just now, his body would probably have to be collected in a basin.

Meanwhile, Zhan Zhouzhou was still under the stone pillar, and if she didn’t dodge soon, she would be the one collected in a basin.

She was seen in mid-air, kicking Ito Miho’s leg, borrowing the momentum to fly back as gracefully as a swallow returning to its nest, landing steadily.
