#592 - Erosion of bamboo joints
Although they are both believers of the "Outer Gods", the abilities of the "mahjong faction" and the "poker faction" are obviously different.
This can be easily seen in the current battle in the "Ripple Masquerade".
The "poker faction" that controls the "Investigation Bureau" of Nankang City is more adept at various physical attack methods. The flying cards that Ma Jianai demonstrated when meeting Tan Zhi was one of them.
At this time, the weapons pulled out by the twelve guards were all of the type that caused physical damage.
I don’t know if the organizer of the “Ripple Masquerade” didn’t do a good job of security check, or if they didn’t care that these people brought weapons on board…
As for the "Mahjong faction", they are mainly composed of various believers, most of whom are people whose bodies have long been on the verge of collapse or even death, and are naturally not good at various fights.
Correspondingly, the magical thing called faith provides them with quite powerful spells and mental attack capabilities.
Faced with enemies rushing up from different angles, the "Seventh Barrel" was not at all panicked.
He waved his left hand lightly, and the fan-shaped mahjong on the ground suddenly grew larger and stood upright, with the jade bottom facing the attacker.
These mahjong tiles that quickly grew to the size of a person naturally blocked the first round of attack from the poker card guards.
Not only were swords and knives unable to penetrate, but bullets were also blocked.
Of course, these guards aren't stupid—at least not that stupid.
Seeing that the "Seven-Barrel" mahjong barrier was just fan-shaped, I quickly decided to go around it.
Blocked by the bottom of the mahjong tiles, they naturally couldn't see what the "Seventh Tube" was doing.
At the other end of the dance hall, Gao Yi and Zheng Qiqing, who were standing behind the "Seventh Tube", could naturally see the old man's actions.
Then he crossed his hands, clenched his index finger and thumb, and spread the rest of his fingers outward.
The "strip"-shaped patterns on those mahjong tiles also grew larger and suddenly began to twist like live snakes.
The emerald green bamboo pattern detached from the card and floated in the air. The end of each bamboo joint cracked into a serrated mouthpart, revealing the sharp talismans arranged in a spiral inside.
"Come here!"
The Arm Blade Transformer who was in the front suddenly froze. He managed to react defensively, but failed to block the bamboo joint's attack and was directly penetrated by several green lights.
Suddenly, several blood holes appeared on the arms, calves, and flanks.
And this is not the most terrifying thing.
The mechanical body of the Arm Blade Transformer was intact, but the skin exposed outside the combat suit was madly growing green bamboo-leaf-like blisters, which were quickly covering the entire body.
When the first herpes popped, he let out a scream of pain that was not human--it was not something that could be caused by simple pain...
The Poker Guards' formation collapsed instantly. Although they had not completely lost their will to resist, they were no longer able to inflict effective damage to the "Seventh Barrel".
The guard holding the machete was horrified to find that the surface of his alloy weapon was covered with rust, which was growing rapidly and even spreading to the back of his hand.
As for the others, guns contaminated with the talisman fragments exploded one after another, and all kinds of weapons were corroded, rendering them unusable.
In this situation, and being chased by dozens of deadly bamboos flying through the air, the guards’ fate was certain.
But...how could this group of people be so weak?
Gao Yi cast a questioning look at Zheng Qiqing who was still immersed in the joke beside him.
The pink-haired girl, who already had some tacit understanding, shook her head slightly, also revealing a hint of confusion:
"Even though it's like this, there are still some good people in the Investigation Bureau. They shouldn't be so weak... Anyway, there are definitely no top talents among this group of people."
This is indeed a very strange thing. That Majianai was cautious enough to bring twelve people as guards when participating in the "Ripple Masquerade".
Didn't you think of bringing stronger people up?
Or, it could be that the experts within the "Investigation Bureau" do not listen to the words of the chief of the "Armed Forces".
Or, these poker guards currently have some indispensable abilities or roles that have not yet been demonstrated.
The answer is obviously the latter.
Soon, seeing that the situation was not good, Magana began to take the next action.
Her hands also began to dance, and a deck of playing cards with a black background and gold edges suddenly appeared in her hands, which she shuffled with a flower-cutting technique.
"Don't panic, you are all being watched by the [dealer], there is no way you can lose at the gambling table!"
Magana shouted, and the metal surface of the playing cards in his hand suddenly reflected a rainbow halo.
Upon hearing this, the Poker guards stopped their dispersal and tore off their uniforms in unison like puppets.
It can be clearly seen that their bare chests are tattooed with poker totems of different colors.
Twelve waiters, four different suits, three consecutive numbers.
What they formed was a straight flush among the four decks of golden flowers.
I have to say, as expected of all of them being "Outer Gods", their abilities are actually quite similar...
No matter how ability is specifically manifested, gambling and luck seem to be inseparable topics.
That being said, there is some overlap between this and the authority of the "boss"...
"Switch your weapons to armor, maintain your formation!"
Majianai's cold command cut through the chaos like a scalpel.
In the gaps between the flying bamboo joints, the tattoos of all the poker guards began to pulsate.
The weapons corroded by the bamboo talisman suddenly oozed scarlet blood, then melted into liquid metal, flowing upstream along the guards' blood vessels.
When the crisp sound of alloy and bone colliding was heard, twelve bodies let out terrifying roars at the same time.
When he looked again, the ballroom had changed from twelve low-level fighters to twelve indestructible bodies.
All the herpes on the body disappeared, and the attacks from the bamboo joints could no longer penetrate the defense.
Is there such ability?...
Gao Yi silently memorized it in his heart. This information should be useful when he really faces the [Dealer] in the future.
Now it is worth noting that how will the "Seventh Barrel" respond?
In fact, Gao Yi also thought about joining the game directly while the two sides were fighting, at least to kill the "Seventh Barrel" first.
Although his frontal combat capability is average, he should be able to cause considerable damage in this space.
In that case, the special mission "Resolve the riot on the Silver Moon" can also be completed.
But the problem is, there is no such opportunity...
On the one hand, those emerald green bamboo joints are blind, and the victims are more than just the poker card guards.
The carnival parade, composed of the subconscious pressure and desires of the people, suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the "Seven Barrels".
Various toys, home appliances, and even an ear from "Black Cat Sheriff" were covered in herpes and fell to the ground.
Even those herpes can be transmitted to other things in the team around you.
In a short time, a dent had appeared in the joyous parade.
In other words, this is a plague-type attack effect.
This explains why this "Seventh Barrel" took the trouble to buy the [Epidemic Bacteria Cellar].
It turns out that there are some similarities with his attack method...
If this "Seven-Barrel" was given more time to study, the damage caused would surely be even more unimaginable.
This type of attack is exactly the type that Gao Yi doesn't have many good ways to deal with.
Even the [Scarlet Raven Windbreaker] can only resist physical attacks, but cannot solve the spread of the disease.
If Gao Yi really fell into the trap, he could only rely on the physical fitness enhanced by [Seeker] and various potions to endure it.
To be honest, I'm not very optimistic.
And this was just one of the things he was worried about.
If you want to attack the "Seventh Barrel", you must also consider the attitudes of "C" and "F".
These two players from the "alphabet" are not only strong, but also unpredictable in their stance.
It has been confirmed that the "Professor Mo" who was the leader of the "symposium" they participated in was a member of the "Mahjong faction".
If we directly attack "Seventh Basket", a member of the "Mahjong Faction", will they really sit back and do nothing?
Although at this moment "C" is still leaning against the wall without moving...
However, it is worth mentioning that this killer seems to have some interest in the current battle, unlike before when he looked bored.
Is it necessary to have close combat and bleed to satisfy his hobby?
In any case, Gao Yi did not want to take the risk of being surrounded and beaten by several highly powerful enemies and rashly join the battle.
And this is not his style.
At this moment, Gao Yi is waiting for the accumulation of emotions and adapting to the space he created.
And the "Seventh Barrel" was apparently not helpless in the face of a group of guards in alloy armor.
He had his hands behind his back, obviously planning something.
