Hunter: I’m Really Not a Mind Remover

  Chapter 478 Moyou Vs Shenhou Westward Journey

  The moon is dark and the wind is high.

  The strong wind howled in the mountains, rolling up thousands of residual leaves.

  The surrounding trees swayed endlessly, making endless rustling sounds.

  Under the rendering of the night, these big trees standing all around swayed like ghosts, exuding a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere amidst the cheers of the screaming wind.

   Moyou walked to the artificially built platform. The street lamps on both sides were in disrepair for a long time, and they barely released a faint light.

  But in this dark environment, even if the light is weak, it is still very eye-catching.

   "It's a coincidence..."

   "Are you still prepared?"

  Feeling the seeming killing intent, Moyou remained calm.

  He couldn't be sure whether the other party came for the high bounty, or for the Nitolomi he brought back from the Dark Continent.

  If it is the former, it must be that his itinerary for the past few days has been noticed by this group of people who regard money as their fate, so that they plan to intercept him here.

if the latter one…

   Then it is not good news for Moyu.

  That means that his actions to go to the Dark Continent were seen by some caring people a long time ago.

   Then, as if believing that he could come back safely, or adhering to the idea that he would rather exhaust manpower than miss it, he squatted for nearly a year.

  No matter what the possibility is, Moyou has to carefully consider Hawk's safety.

  As well as the unknown person hiding in the darkness, in terms of strength, they really cannot be underestimated.

  If his perception hadn't been tempered by the Dark Continent and is not what it used to be, it might be difficult to detect the breath in the first place.

  The other party came prepared, after all, they took the lead...

  But it’s hard to say now.

   "First shorten the distance to the top of the mountain, and then send a shadow to the temple first."

   Moyou stared ahead, with the same speed under his feet, striding towards the wooden stairs leading to the top of the mountain.

  Although he is ready to face the battle, he has to take Hawk's safety into consideration.

  So he intends to shorten the distance to the temple on the mountaintop as much as possible before the opponent makes a move, so as to ensure the strength of the shadow and the control accuracy.

   This is important.

   For this reason, he did not even send his shadow in advance to be in a position where he could perform "tactics".

   "Be patient and cautious."

   Walking on the mountain steps, Moyou remained calm, but felt a little surprised in his heart.

  There are many opportunities for attack along the road ahead.

  However, the person hidden in the darkness held back...

   "Judging from the 'breathing state', you probably haven't noticed it yet, right?"

  Moyou raised his head and looked diagonally upwards, and he could already see the lights of the temple on the top of the mountain.

   "It doesn't matter, this distance... should be enough."

   Measuring the distance with the naked eye, Moyou's heart moved, and he suddenly raised his hand, and the thought power like flowing water quickly gathered in the palm of his hand.

  Black Knife—

  Bright thoughts fluctuated, and quickly condensed into a long black knife in Moyou's hand.

   "Speed ​​Gun"

  The black knife raised horizontally suddenly surged out an arc of thought power, and shot into the darkness not far away without any power.

   At the moment.

  In the darkness, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of a lean figure, obviously surprised by Moyou's attack.

   "Hey, hey... my 'jue' isn't so rotten, is it?"

   Surprised thoughts flashed by, and the lean figure retreated a few steps sideways, avoiding the firing trajectory of the black knife.

In the darkness, the black knife surging with the power of thought pierced through the air, flew past the thin figure, and then crushed the big trees along the way with unabated momentum, and disappeared in the farther distance in the blink of an eye. In the dark.

  Dodging this astonishing attack, the lean figure didn't have the extra time to pay attention to the retreating black knife, but continued to swipe backwards.

  As he retreated, a sword light slashing with lingering power landed on his original position.

   "Tsk tsk, that's fast enough, but what's the use?"

  The lean figure skimmed out of the attack range of the long knife, and there was a little playfulness in the gaze that raised his eyes to look forward.

   "Since you have already noticed my position, you shouldn't fight so badly, Moyu Isaac, you guys missed the only chance to easily deal with me."

  As if not worried about Moyou's follow-up pursuit at all, the lean figure retreated, but was interested in saying a few words.

  Moyou didn't pursue, his eyes calmly stared at the lean figure glowing with psychic power in the darkness.

  The blow just now—

  It is more to send the shadow to the temple on the top of the mountain faster.

certainly.

  It is impossible for him to read out the motivation for this behavior.

"Who are you…"

  Moyuna has adapted to dark vision, and can barely see the opponent's appearance.

He has a thin body, a face as long as a horse, and a golden headband on his forehead. He has a one-inch hairstyle, and a heart shape is specially shaved on the top of his head close to his forehead, just above the middle of the golden headband. .

  He wears a fighting uniform on his upper body, and on his elbows he wears brass-filled wristbands, and the word "Shen" is boldly printed on his chest.

  It has a variety of characteristics with a very personal style, making its identity ready to come out.

   "Twelve Earthly Branches, Shen Monkey Journeys to the West..."

  The calmness in his eyes was broken, and Moyou was slightly startled. He had no idea that the person ambush here was actually a Shen monkey in the twelve earthly branches.

  Why are you squatting on me here?

  The doubts that just surfaced in my mind were quickly broken down by some information.

  Monkey Journey to the West, Spy, Pariston, Billard, Dark Continent...

  Moyou is a time traveler after all. Relying on some prophetic information, he quickly thought of Shenhou Westward Journey's identity as a spy in the Twelve Earthly Branches, as well as Pariston and Billand standing behind him.

  From this point of view, the other party's motive for guarding him here is most likely to see what he brought back from the Dark Continent.

   Or rather—

  Based on his non-stop rush to the temple in the scenic area, it has been concluded that he did bring something back, and it is more likely that he has guessed that it is Nitolomi.

because…

  Hawk was sent to the exclusive hospital of the Hunter Association for treatment. It is not difficult to investigate the relevant medical records.

  Thinking quickly diverged, and a lot of information was deduced.

   But Moyou quickly stopped his thoughts.

  These inferred information may not be true, and the current situation is not suitable for further investigation.

"Come."

  Moyou raised his hand and pointed at Xiyou with the tip of his knife.

   "If you want to die, I will help you."

  His eyes revealed a scene that was darker than the surrounding night, and his seemingly calm tone revealed a bone-chilling chill,

  When Journey to the West saw this, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he grinned and said unscrupulously: "Why, seeing how you suddenly became 'nervous', you must be worried about the one in the temple..."

   A gust of strong wind in the night interrupted the words of Journey to the West.

  Moyou's figure is like lightning, flashing in front of Xiyou with a black knife in his hand.

  Journey to the West shrank his pupils slightly, but he was already prepared.

   Unscrupulous, outspoken...

   This in itself is his usual unique character display.

   But when applied to combat, these character displays cannot bring about any changes in combat power.

  Their existence is only for tactics.

  「Speaking Monkey · Listening Monkey · Seeing Monkey」

   Just as Moyou was stepping in front of Xiyou, three monkeys emerged from the shadows and appeared behind Moyou with a very precise timing.

  The three monkeys are the Nian Beasts of Journey to the West.

  One is a dumb monkey named Talking Monkey. Its ability is to directly deprive the language when it successfully hits the enemy.

  One is a deaf monkey named Listening Monkey. Its ability is to directly deprive it of hearing when it successfully hits an enemy.

  One is a blind monkey named Sighting Monkey. Its ability is to directly deprive it of vision when it successfully hits an enemy.

  Journey to the West’s outspokenness just now was to wait for this moment.

  Although it was an unexpected development that Moyou noticed the ambush, he quickly came up with a new plan and put it into action while avoiding Moyou's attack and playing tricks.

  Westward Journey not only prepared offensive methods for Moyou, but also prepared defensive methods that could resist Moyou's first wave of offensive.

  「Ruyi Stick」

  The corners of Xiyou's grinned mouth retracted, and a golden stick with two ends as round as a ball materialized out of thin air in his hand.

  He has two kinds of reading abilities, one is the three reading monkeys, and the other is this Ruyi stick.

  The ability of this Ruyi stick is to be able to freely become longer and shorter, thinner and thicker.

  However, Journey to the West did not devote all his mind power to mobilize the shape-changing ability of the Ruyi stick, but just placed the Ruyi stick on the trajectory of the black knife.

   It wasn't that he didn't want to use his abilities, but that he had to devote more of his display capacity to the three Nian monkeys, so as to ensure the implementation of this tactic.

  In the blink of an eye, Moyou saw all the tactical arrangements of Journey to the West in an instant.

   At the back are three Nian monkeys attacking, and in front is Journey to the West who obviously just wants to stick to it and increase the fault tolerance rate.

  When a normal person encounters this situation, they probably stop the attack and find a way to resolve the opponent's tactics.

  After all, no one knows what abilities the three Nian monkeys have, so no one with Nian ability is willing to challenge this unknown risk.

   But Moyo knew.

  Language, hearing, vision—

  Tends to functional deprivation, and does not have lethality in the sense.

   In other words, Moyou didn't have to worry that the three monkeys would cause him substantial harm.

   In this way, we must seize this offensive opportunity.

  So what if you stick to it with a wishful stick?

  Distributed on the three Nian Beasts and Ruyi Sticks, it is destined that the frontal offensive and defensive power will be significantly affected and weakened.

  Moyou's instantaneous thinking ability exploded, and he processed all the information as fast as lightning, and made corresponding decisions in an instant.

   This is a must-have combat quality for a person with first-rate mental abilities.

  Moyou did not back down, turning a blind eye to the attack of the three Nian monkeys behind him, with the black knife in his hand lingering in Nian power, he slashed towards the westward tour without hesitation.

   "This guy is crazy..."

   Seeing Moyou's decision, Xiyou's expression changed.

  Under normal circumstances, no one with mind ability would act recklessly before probing out information.

The issue is-

   You guys are not reinforcements!

  Journey to the West was shocked, even though he was deeply surprised, he could only raise his wish stick and retreat at the same time.

   This response can be said to be an unreserved implementation of the intention to stick to it, in order to block Moyou's knife with the lowest risk zone.

  In his opinion, as long as the knife is defended...

   Then, his three Nian monkeys can deprive Moyou of language, hearing, and vision in one go, thereby establishing the odds of winning first.

However-

  The black knife fell on the Ruyi stick, and the expected collision scene did not happen.

  Under Xiyou's astonished gaze, the Ruyi stick that was supposed to be his first line of defense was easily cut off by the black knife.

  Chick—

  Lost the crossbar of Ruyi stick, the black blade cut open the big "Shen" character on Xiyou's chest from top to bottom.

  But when the sharp black blade cut along the middle of the word "Shen" to the end, the blade disappeared out of thin air.

  Because Moyou used the ability of "shape-changing shadow" at the timing of driving Hei Dao Zhan Zhongxiyou, and instantly exchanged positions with the shadow clone who was rushing to the temple on the top of the mountain.

  The shadow clone that was replaced did not have the ability to manifest the black sword, and the scene where the black sword disappeared naturally occurred.

   bang bang bang...

   Also at this time, the shadow clone that had just been replaced was attacked by three disabled Nian monkeys.

  The shadow clone that just suffered the attack didn't suffer too much damage, and it can still maintain its complete form.

  This result is just as Moyu judged at the beginning...

  Although you can rely on a small amount of information in the original book to get information about the mind ability of Journey to the West.

  However, the original book does not show the exact scene of Journey to the West, so Moyou can only start with this information, so as to have a deeper understanding of Journey to the West's ability.

  He believed that the abilities of the three monkeys tended to be functional, so the lethality must be lacking.

  This is an unavoidable oath and restriction in the mind system.

   Another basis for confirming this conjecture is the wishful stick embodied by Journey to the West.

   It is precisely because the three functional Nian monkeys lack lethality that they need to be supplemented with Ruyi sticks.

  With this speculation, even if the shadow clone is too late to be replaced at the last moment, Moyou doesn't need to worry about anything.

   After all, the only Ruyi stick that can constitute substantial lethality was used by Xiyou for defense...

   This is the fundamental reason why Moyou dared to take risks all the way to the dark.

  The shadow avatar did not collapse due to the attack of the three Nian monkeys, which gave Moyou a chance to come back and join the second wave of attacks.

   However, Moyu did not do this.

  Because the three monkeys activated their abilities by hitting the attack.

  The shadow clone under attack suddenly lost language, vision, and hearing.

  What Moyu didn't expect was...

  This curse-like ability actually directly affected him.

   Without any hesitation, after Moyou lost his vision and other sensory abilities, he manipulated the shadow clone to withdraw from the double-teaming situation of the three monkeys and Journey to the West.

  Journey to the West had no intention of chasing the shadow clone. He lowered his head to look at the word "Shen" split on his chest, and the hideous knife wound with flesh and blood, and his brows could not help but slowly frowned.

   "What a mad dog."

   Taking a deep breath, Xiyou's eyes became cold.

   "Forget it...he lost his hearing and vision, the odds are on my side."

  The sight of Journey to the West turned to the temple on the top of the mountain.

  He probably knows about Moyou's ability information, and his three Nian monkeys, whether attacking the Nian clone or the main body, can directly activate the deprivation ability.

  Strictly speaking, his ability just restrains the mind avatar system.

   This is also the starting point for his tactics design, so there is no need to worry that Moyou will use his clone and exchange ability to evade attacks.

   It's just that he didn't expect Moyou to make such an unsuitable decision without knowing the "monkey ability".

   If it weren't for this—

  He would not have suffered such a knife, and if he hadn't resolutely defended and retreated early, the consequences would have been disastrous.

   But fortunately, the Nianhou ability has been activated, so just finish the job quickly.

  Journey to the West dealt with the injury in a slow manner, as if he had already won the battle.

after all-

  He couldn't see the black mycelium spreading from the chest wound.
