Chapter 391 You Two Are Quite Good

At this moment, the six-handed giant baby also slowly climbed up, letting out an angry roar towards this side before charging again.

Ling Mo aimed at the giant and directly activated the magic cannon.

Suddenly, numerous magic circles lit up on the barrel, gathering all magical energy at the muzzle, forming an extremely glaring white light ball. Once the magic was fully concentrated, the light ball swiftly shot towards the giant baby.

The latter didn’t even react before being hit by the light ball, which instantly merged into its body, causing a multitude of magic circles to appear on its surface. Meanwhile, its skin grew increasingly red, even emitting hot steam.

It struggled to take two steps forward but then couldn’t hold on any longer and knelt down, letting out a miserable scream.

One shot was ineffective, so Ling Mo discarded the cannon and pulled out another shell to fire.

This time, an enormous amount of magical energy absorption turned the monster’s surface a bright red, and it slowly fell over.

“Wait here for a moment; I’ll deal with that guy,” Ling Mo told the others through the communicator, then stepped forward to lift the giant and directly took off into the sky.

The fatty watched in a daze, finally reacting: “He’s not planning to use that again, is he?”

“Probably,” Xia Xinyan nodded, looking up at the sky.

They were right.

Ling Mo flew to a place out of their sight, then suddenly, they saw an explosion appear in the sky, with the sound taking several seconds to reach the ground, indicating just how high Ling Mo had gone.

Then, Ling Mo flew down on the magical puppet, landing in front of them, and let out a sigh: “It’s done.”

The fatty looked dumbfounded: “Wait, what the heck was that just now?”

“A bomb.”

“I mean that thing you used before? The magical RPG?”

“No,” Ling Mo shook his head, “that’s called the Magic Cannon, which can disrupt the opponent’s power source, essentially putting a bomb inside their body.”

Fatty: “…”

As expected, you can’t mess with Old Ling; even the treasure chests can’t compete with the tricks this guy has.

“But… that guy was already hurt,” Ling Mo suddenly said, “Its internal power was already chaotic; otherwise, it wouldn’t lose combat ability in just two shots.”

Ling Mo essentially caused it to burst from overexertion.

Xia Xinyan nodded: “Once the white smoke subsides, it should’ve forcibly activated all its potential.”

In her previous life, she had seen such situations where one forcibly activated all their potential to gain power exceeding their normal capabilities; it was like a shot of an enhancing drug, but the price was life—once the effect wore off, they’d be near death.

This kind of operation was generally one of the abilities of body-enhancing ability users, but most people wouldn’t use it until death was certain—because not using it might not lead to death, but using it definitely would.

As for the giant, it was likely just treated as a pawn, the strongest force set up to stop them.

Probably didn’t expect that Ling Mo’s methods would be even dirtier.

“I just noticed I have a lot of fun stuff in my magical items,” Ling Mo tilted his head toward Xia Xinyan, like a child sharing toys with someone they liked, “Maybe we can experiment with some magical combat methods in the future.”

Xia Xinyan smiled at him, taking it as encouragement.

Then she walked forward: “Let’s go find Bai Yan.”

However, before the others could respond, Bai Yu’s voice suddenly echoed through the communicator: “That effect has disappeared! The weapon usage restriction is gone!”

Hearing this, Ling Mo paused, then summoned a set of battle armor. After trying it on, he confirmed it was indeed usable.

Xia Xinyan furrowed her brows slightly and continued walking forward: “It’s possible that the group behind has retreated.”

Have they given up?

They were just so arrogant a moment ago.

Could it be because of Bai Yan?

The group then tracked down Bai Yan’s whereabouts. She indeed had gone into the sewer, where there were still many signs of battle, but no trace of anyone else was found. Following the residual aura, Xia Xinyan stopped at the end of one of the branches.

From here, going up meant leaving the city, and outside, they lost all traces of those people. The area was open enough, making it quite suitable for an escape route.

Since they couldn’t catch up, they decided to leave the battle traces in the sewer behind—each person’s ability left different marks and auras after battles. As long as it was something a bit noteworthy, it might be possible for the Ability Bureau to come check it out and potentially locate their target.

As for Bai Yan… Xia Xinyan felt she clearly knew something, but unfortunately, they couldn’t find her now; they would have to wait to talk later.

Those people had indeed given up; the demon tide in the city had finally calmed down, and with Ling Mo’s Carnival Stage at the stadium still attracting a large number of demons, it had gathered all the monsters throughout the city, making it relatively easy to deal with the remaining demons—getting rid of the rest was just a matter of time.

After handing over the sewer scene to the arriving Ability Bureau, Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo returned to the residential community. Bai Yan’s group of girls still guarded the community firmly, and everyone inside was unharmed.

When Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo met the Summer Family again in the hall, they both distinctly felt a subtle shift in the family’s attitude.

The focus was still on Ling Mo; for example, Xia Weihan looked at Ling Mo with a rather complex gaze.

Xia Xinyan couldn’t be bothered to think about why and simply chatted with her adoptive parents for a while, telling them that the city’s situation had been resolved and there was no need to worry anymore.

Her adoptive mother was naturally very pleased: “You two worked hard; if it weren’t for you, the city would probably have faced a disaster.”

Xia Xinyan smiled: “It’s the least we could do.”

Her adoptive mother studied her for a moment and then sighed: “Xinyan has grown up…”

She could already take on such a heavy task independently.

Saying this, she glanced at Ling Mo beside her and whispered, “You two… are quite good together.”

Xia Xinyan paused: “Huh?”

Her adoptive father seemed to want to say something but ultimately just sighed quietly.

Her adoptive mother laughed: “Alright, don’t mind us; you two go on with your own business.”

Previously, the TV in the hall had been broadcasting the situation in the city live, including the scenes of the ability users fighting the demons, which gave some hope to the citizens hiding in the city.

And among these battles, the most eye-catching were naturally Ling Mo and the others, especially the carnival at the stadium, which attracted every demon in the city. Thus, in the eyes of those who barely escaped with their lives, he seemed like a savior.

The Summer Family had also seen it.

This was their first direct experience of Ling Mo’s true strength.

Really… so strong.
