The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 148 - 133: The Black-Eyed White Ya (More to come later)
Chapter 148: Chapter 133: The Black-Eyed White Ya (More to come later)From the blue flames, Ding summoned serpentine monsters known as ”Xiu Snakes,” which, like the ”Flame Spirit” in Magic, didn’t see Ding as their master, but they followed the black flames.

Therefore, Ding could use the black flames to guide them to do simple tasks, such as massacre.

Xiu Snakes had a cold and brutal nature, and like their serpent counterparts, they excelled at ambushes. Their claws enabled them to grasp, and the tentacles on their heads allowed them to adhere to walls, thus they could appear and disappear unpredictably. Wherever the black flames lingered, the Xiu Snakes were sure to be found.

In the ”Flame Spirit” Magic Performance, the monsters’ bodies were composed of carbon material. Similarly, the main body of the Xiu Snakes summoned now was made up of carbon.

However, the carbon was different. When summoning the Xiu Snakes, Ding could choose the structure of the carbon, forming the main body of the Xiu Snakes with this structured carbon material.

Ding had chosen a carbon material that the technology of Lonely City had not yet managed to create.

By gathering carbon atoms and forming chains through double bonds or alternating single and triple bonds, Lonely City’s scientists called this ”carbon chunks” or ”carbyne carbon.”

Carbyne carbon boasted a strength over forty times that of diamond, the theoretically hardest substance known, but it was extremely unstable, so the scientists of Lonely City had yet to turn it from theory into reality.

However, the Xiu Snakes summoned from the blue flames or the Prosthetic Eye did not have such a problem. Once Ding confirmed it, their bodies would be made of this material, which was further endowed with new properties.

For instance, it had an extremely high resistance to temperature and retained the snake-like flexibility, giving them an explosive power characteristic of serpents.

So, it can be said that Xiu Snakes were indeed terrifying monsters; anyway, aside from Ding directly retracting the souls of the Xiu Snakes, there was no good way to quickly destroy them.

At this moment, it could be seen through Ding’s transmission that more than a dozen Xiu Snakes were rampaging through the underground base, wantonly and leisurely slaughtering those mechanical disciples, with none able to match the Xiu Snakes.

Just one encounter, and the Xiu Snakes could ensnare their targets rapidly, then strangle them swiftly with their tough bodies.

No, they were directly squeezed into bloody mush and fragments, a scene of extreme gore.

However, all the Xiu Snakes fought independently and, even with easy-to-kill targets, they all chose to lurk in the dark and patiently ambush before striking fatally.

Well, ”Though Strong, the Xiu Snake Is Excessively Cautious”.

Shortly, the mechanical disciples in the underground base discovered these dozen or so monsters. They began to organize forces to resist such creatures, but to their horror, they realized that they could not even get a clear sight of what the monsters looked like, let alone attack them.

They only knew that the creatures had elongated bodies, were entirely black, incredibly fast, and exceptionally brutal.

Any disciple who encountered a Xiu Snake invariably died, and for some reason, the surveillance footage was nothing but static, leaving only an eerie silence behind.

This unknown was the most terrifying thing—the mechanical disciples had no idea where these creatures came from, just that they were systematically hunting the disciples.

An atmosphere of desperation and horror enveloped the entire base.

Disciple Leader Gongsun Xing silently furrowed his brow.

He was unclear about the current situation, how this base had suddenly been attacked, and in such a bizarre fashion no less.

Was this okay? No, it was not okay, not okay at all.

And that woman, she hadn’t given any news yet; according to the original plan, he should have already obtained the TQIII model and been poised to poison Black Shark by now.

Yes, the mechanical disciples should be under that person’s control.

Black Shark had grown old, no, it was his heart that had aged.

He no longer possessed the ambition of his younger years, yet he deluded himself into clinging to this position...

Moreover, the position of Black Shark as the leader was merely a handout from that man, and now, that man was returning.

Ya.

Every time he thought of this name, Gongsun Xing, the disciple, couldn’t help trembling with excitement.

Under Ya’s leadership, the mechanical disciples were truly those unrestrained mechanical disciples. If Ya were in charge, the mechanical disciples would never have been cornered to this extent by the police force and that damned Garcia!

If crime were an art form, there was no doubt that Ya was a genius, the only one who could save the mechanical disciples now.

Black Shark, heh, Black Shark, unworthy of his seat.

A month ago, Ya had contacted him, promoting him as a mole, instructing him to connect with other pawns to carry out Ya’s planned scheme.

”Gongsun Xing, what are you trembling for? Are you scared?” Black Shark sat in the center of the great hall, his tiger-like eyes slowly scanning his five disciple leaders with various expressions, keenly noticing something off with Gongsun Xing.

”I...” Gongsun Xing slightly lowered his head, ”am very excited. I am willing to lead the team to confront the enemy.”

”Then tell me, what exactly is our enemy?” Black Shark slowly said.

Inside the hall, apart from the five leaders and Black Shark, there were also some elite disciples gathered here. At this moment, everyone bowed their heads slightly, silent.

”Report, it is a very special creature,” Gongsun Xing stepped forward to report, ”But it’s strange, they...”

”What’s wrong?” Black Shark’s voice was robust, showing no signs of illness.

”They seem to be the product of some genetic experiment, with each individual possessing extreme strength...” Gongsun Xing used the Simulated Light Screen to project a blur image of the Xiu Snake, but it was too vague to make out details, just a rough idea, and at the bottom right of the image were some basic data about the Xiu Snake.

This image elicited gasps from some of the disciples present; they understood the grave implications of these few data points.

Extreme hardness, extreme toughness.

These two pieces of data together effectively told everyone present that such creatures were far beyond the power of ordinary humans to combat.

Their hardness far exceeded that of diamonds, and their excellent toughness greatly enhanced their bodies’ resistance to fragmentation, meaning conventional kinetic weapons would hardly be able to destroy their bodies. They could only be taken down by unconventional methods, such as high temperatures or high energy.

However, due to constraints, this was difficult, which considerably dampened everyone’s spirits in the hall.

”Summon all the disciples here,” Black Shark quickly gave the order, ”and then bring out that batch of ’Radiant’ II models. These creatures are not so terrifying. The rest of you, set up defense lines according to the fortress configuration.”

”Also, the ninth leader, Gongsun Xing, you take people to lock down the Safe Zone, and don’t let anyone out,” Black Shark continued to order.

Gongsun Xing’s heart sank upon hearing this, but his face showed no expression; he simply said, ”Yes.”

And Black Shark added, ”Take a Radiant II with you. If you encounter the creatures, be sure to record it.”

”Yes,” Gongsun Xing responded, and at the same time, he saw a message in the display of his Prosthetic Eye.

The avatar was a black-eyed white crow.

Ya: I’m here, prepare to act.
