Chapter 210: Samurai

Prior to Adam throwing a punch at Nie Yiyi, she had already lashed out at him with her blades, and one of them struck Adam on the neck, while the other struck him on the waist.

Thankfully, Adam was fused with Mummy at the moment, so the two blade strikes from Nie Yiyi did nothing aside from raising some sparks and causing some minor pain.

At the same time, a projectile from a sniper cannon just so happened to strike him on the waist, instantly blowing a large hole into his body.

The pain allowed Adam to temporarily return to his senses, and the ignorance that was clouding his judgment faded to allow him to properly assess the situation.

Why am I attacking her? Why is she attacking me? Am I under someone else's control?

Even though his mind still wasn't very clear, Adam immediately threw his arms around Nie Yiyi before pressing her down against the ground with his enormous frame.

All the while, Nie Yiyi was still struggling violently while yelling at the top of her lungs.

"Get off me! I've worked so hard ever since I was a kid, why do you get to surpass me so easily? I work 10 times harder than you, why don't I get the reward I deserve? This is not fair! Why do you get to have what I want without even trying?"

Nie Yiyi continued to attack Adam with all her might, and right at this moment, another sniper cannon projectile struck Adam on the back to blow another massive hole into his body.

If it weren't for the fact that she was being shielded by Adam, there was no way that Nie Yiyi would've been able to dodge the attack in her deranged state, and she could've easily been killed.

"Wake up!"

Adam slapped Nie Yiyi across the face to try and get her to return to her senses, but that only made her even more furious.

Adam raised his head and looked around to find that the vast majority of combatants on the battlefield had fallen into a deranged state, and they were either attacking their own teammates or randomly attacking others around them.

The only ones who were able to retain their sense of reason were the ones who possessed abilities that could ward off the effects of mind-altering influences. An example of this was King Arthur, whose golden sword was releasing golden light to envelop himself and Diana, allowing them to just barely retain their sanity.

Adam couldn't help but be stunned by how powerful the mind-altering influence was.

As the anomaly of pain, not only did Mummy possess incredible physical resistance, mind control abilities were also very limited in their effectiveness against it.

However, even while fused with Mummy, Adam had fallen under the influence, so he knew that there was no way that Nie Yiyi would be returning to her senses anytime soon.

With that in mind, Adam immediately wrapped up her body using his bandages, simultaneously protecting her while also restricting her movements.

After that, he called out to King Arthur.

"We have to retreat for now!"

King Arthur nodded in response, and the two of them quickly made their way back down the hill.

Before long, they had already retreated to the foot of the hill. Hook was completely fine, so it seemed that the foot of the hill was outside of the sphere of influence of Dead Wood and his disciple brothers.

"What happened?" Hook immediately asked. "Everyone just started fighting among themselves all of a sudden. Even Ikkaku was affected. I saw him kill Ice Elemental just now."

Adam turned back to inspect the battlefield upon hearing this, and sure enough, Ikkaku had also fallen prey to the mind-altering influence permeating across the battlefield.

However, even though he was in a deranged state, his battle instincts and powerful wind-based abilities still allowed him to dodge all of the turret projectiles and the attacks from those around him, and he was completely untouchable on the battlefield.

"I didn't think Dead Wood would be such a pain to deal with."

"The information I have on him doesn't mention this ability at all, and he's never used it before, either!" Hook was thinking back to the past match footage he had seen of Dead Wood's, while Nie Yiyi was still yelling to vent her fury, but her voice had become a bit more muted. "I wonder when they'll be able to return to normal."

"I don't think they'll be returning to normal until the chanting ends."

Adam turned to look behind him, and he discovered that the green barrier had already reached the foot of the hill. It was so close that the zombies and artificial anomalies beyond it were already visible to the naked eye.

"What do we do?"

Hook was beginning to panic.

"If we can't go over it, then we'll just have to go through it," Adam replied as he cast his gaze toward the pitch-black valley up ahead.

Under normal circumstances, no one would try to pass through the valley due to the terrible terrain.

Given how long and narrow the valley was, the chances of passing through it safely while enduring the defending attacks would've normally been next to zero, but this situation was different.

"The effective range of their ability isn't very large, and all of their attention is focused on the top of the hill, so it's actually far safer in the valley."

"You're right! No one's paying any attention to the valley right now!" King Arthur also immediately realized the feasibility of Adam's proposed strategy. "Let's go. We haven't really gained anything from this, but at the very least, we have to ensure that we make it to the final zone."

After making up their mind, the three of them didn't delay any further. No one knew when the battle on the hill was going to end, so time was of the essence, and the four of them quickly rushed toward the valley.

As soon as they made their move, some of the other people in the area immediately realized what they were doing, and they quickly followed suit. Adam turned to find that they were being followed by around a dozen people, and even Medusa's team was among them.

They've been waiting here this entire time! They really are a bunch of snakes! qhwiethqwiehtewoithweoithoiewqt

Adam paid no heed to them as he continued to rush onward, but in this form, he was far slower than Medusa, who quickly caught up to him and extended a casual greeting as she slithered along next to him.

"Hey, long time no see."

"Why are you still here when you've already obtained an exit card? Are you planning to enter the final zone as well?"

"The final zone is the most lucrative place in the entire battle royale. Our team already has an exit card, so we can leave at any time. How could I possibly miss out on such a brilliant opportunity? Once you're all done killing each other, I'll swoop in to pick up the cards. If there's any danger, then I'll run away. I really can't lose!"

"You're more slippery than any snake I've ever seen!"

.

"Hey, don't say that! I'm just doing this for money! Besides, I helped you out earlier, didn't I?"

Medusa was intentionally being quite flirtatious with Adam, and that immediately sparked a hint of envy in Nie Yiyi's heart. She still hadn't completely regained her sense of reason yet, and she immediately began to verbally denounce Medusa.

Medusa was very amused by Nie Yiyi's reaction, and she took great pleasure in goading her.

Thus, the group made their way into the dark valley, and they made it all the way to the center of the valley without being attacked.

Right as Adam thought that they were going to be able to progress to the final zone without a hitch, Medusa's brows suddenly furrowed slightly as she drew to an abrupt halt.

Even though Adam hadn't sensed anything, he also immediately stopped cold in his tracks.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone's coming."

A grim look appeared in Medusa's eyes as she spoke, and judging from the grave tone of her voice, it seemed that whoever was coming was even more formidable in her eyes than Oni no Miko's Yamata no Orochi.

Sure enough, as soon as her voice trailed off, a figure descended out of the sky. It was a man holding a samurai sword with a strip of black fabric tied over his eyes.

"How boring," the samurai sighed as he landed on the ground. "I waited for so long on that hill, yet not a single person came to confront me! It seems everyone chose to come here instead."

The samurai slowly made his way toward Adam's group.

He wasn't a particularly imposing man, and he wasn't walking very quickly, but each step that he took, Adam would feel his heart shudder in his ribcage, as if the man were treading directly onto his chest as opposed to the ground.
