Chapter 138: One-eyed Team
Su Yinhe, encountering this situation for the first time, sensibly didn’t ask too many questions.
She had already guessed what he was up to with her own cleverness.
Monkey disappeared for several hours and only showed up when they stopped for lunch.
“Captain, no one followed.” Monkey was sweating profusely and drinking water voraciously.
Xu Jiaoqin felt slightly relieved.
Some sinister teams pretend to be friendly as they pass by, waiting to ambush as soon as the others let their guard down.
It was something their team had experienced before.
It’s all about experience.
Su Yinhe also held a chilled bottle of water. She took a big gulp—it was very refreshing.
Lunch was simple, Su Yinhe didn’t contribute and didn’t mooch either.
She unwrapped a sandwich and threw the empty package into a space.
The Cheetah Team might just have bad luck, for right after lunch, as they continued on their way, they encountered another team.
And this team wasn’t as friendly as the last one.
The team had many people, including several high-level Superpower Users, and they looked at the Cheetah Team with malicious intent.
They even made a gesture to keep away, but this team still forcibly approached.
“Yo. Isn’t that Captain Xu? What a coincidence.” A greasy, long-haired man with unkempt hair greeted Xu Jiaoqin.
Xu Jiaoqin’s face turned green as she faced him.
She knew this man and even held a grudge.
They had been robbed by his team before.
The One-eyed Team, a squad where everyone was one-eyed.
Because the captain was One-eyed, anyone who joined later had to be One-eyed too.
This One-eyed Captain was relatively strong. Some people who admired his strength went as far as blinding one eye to join.
Xu Jiaoqin had always disliked Captain One-eyed. She’d met him a few times and found him somewhat sadistic.
As for their grudge, well, it was simple: the One-eyed Team glorifies having one eye.
A young, naive new member of the Cheetah Team, having just joined, learned about the One-eyed Team’s rule and made a snide remark.
“Does the captain envy people who have two eyes so much that he demands new members to blind one?”
Unfortunately, One-eyed heard this.
One-eyed was furious and wanted to kill him, but Xu Jiaoqin wasn’t about to stand by and watch a new member of her team get slaughtered.
She confronted One-eyed directly.
Both ended up wounded.
Now, as they say, enemies often cross each other’s paths.
“One-eyed, indeed, it’s quite the coincidence.” Xu Jiaoqin replied in a lukewarm tone.
“Fate, fate is inevitable,” said One-eyed, using his only eye to scrutinize them as a few sinister sparks flickered within.
“Heh.” Xu Jiaoqin kept a poker face, but inside, she was on high alert.
Who knows what was brewing in his head.
“And here’s a tender new one.” One-eyed’s eye wandered and spotted Su Yinhe quietly eating an apple at the side.
His gaze was piercing and unsettling.
Under his scrutiny, Su Yinhe couldn’t even swallow her apple.
She looked up and met One-eyed’s gaze.
“Quite pretty,” One-eyed complimented.
“Where did Captain Xu find you? Strangely endearing.” His mouth said one thing, but his tone was repugnant.
The apple in Su Yinhe’s hand lost all its sweetness.
She took a few steps forward allowing Liu Wutong and others to shield her.
She really disliked this man’s gaze.
His eyes seemed to want to strip her entirely.
Being short, Su Yinhe was well concealed by her teammates.
One-eyed snorted at the sight.
“Well, she’s quite precious, but I wonder how long she’ll last.”
“She should last longer than you. She’s younger than you after all, definitely won’t die as quickly as you,” Xu Jiaoqin responded with a laugh.
One-eyed choked, “Haven’t seen you in a while, Captain Xu, you’ve become more sharp-tongued.” Last time they met, she was still impulsive and irritable. Now she even spoke in sarcasms.
“Don’t dare, don’t dare. Couldn’t compare to you,” Xu Jiaoqin continued mockingly.
“Captain Xu, those who can’t speak well die fast,” One-eyed said with a sinister look.
“You can’t talk when you’re dead,” Xu Jiaoqin shot back.
One-eyed left with his team.
This time, Monkey didn’t even need instructions from Xu Jiaoqin; as soon as One-eyed left, Monkey disappeared as well.
“Everyone, be ready. We’ve been walking for so long, time to stretch our muscles. Be careful, they outnumber us,” Xu Jiaoqin felt that One-eyed was planning an ambush.
One-eyed bore a grudge against them, and since she had just provoked him, given One-eyed’s petty and selfish nature, he would not let them off.
They had to be ready for battle now.
On the road ahead, everyone was on high alert.
Sure enough, as expected, that bastard One-eyed, pretended to just pass by and actually never left.
He was preparing to ambush them.
With Cheetah Team prepared in advance, neither group could get the upper hand in the fierce battle.
Su Yinhe crouched on the side, perfectly invisible.
Xu Jiaoqin and Yun Wujiu took on One-eyed two against one.
The rest were in a tougher spot, fighting three against one.
Seeing Liu Wutong surrounded by three Superpower Users, Su Yinhe hesitated for a moment but then pulled out a bag of Chili Powder.
“Liu Wutong, get down, close your eyes!”
After shouting, Su Yinhe lifted and scattered the Chili Powder from the bag.
Liu Wutong’s body reacted faster than his mind, immediately getting down.
His eyes tightly shut.
Then he heard a series of painful screams.
Upon opening his eyes, behold, the three One-eyed had their eyes turned red.
The three Superpower Users, covering their remaining eye, screamed in agony, forgetting they were in the middle of a fight.
Su Yinhe gave her a thumbs-up gesture and continued to watch the chaos from the sidelines.
Somehow, despite the intense fight where neither side could best the other, she remained unaffected and unnoticed by others while squatting there.
Just a bit of a drain on the Crystal Core.
Chomping on an apple, Su Yinhe dared to do so because she had activated an “Invisibility” cheat.
Truly invisible, as long as she doesn’t make the first move, no one notices her.
During the fight, they unconsciously avoided the spot where Su Yinhe crouched.
Su Yinhe, watching the spectacle, eventually joined in the fight.
Outnumbered by One-eyed Team, Su Yinhe occasionally threw some Chili Powder, sprayed some Chili Water, aiming to blind their last good eye.
With her occasional unfair play, One-eyed Team really couldn’t gain any advantage.
They couldn’t overpower even with three against one.
Needed a few more, after spreading too much Chili Powder, they cried out while covering their eyes.
Su Yinhe, alongside their painful cries, slowly savored a pomegranate.
The situation for One-eyed Captain wasn’t great either; he was evenly matched with Xu Jiaoqin, but now he also faced Yun Wujiu.
No matter how tough One-eyed was, he still got hit several times.
During the fight, they specifically targeted his good eye, it seemed they wanted to blind him.
But that was his only remaining eye, a precious one at that, how could he let them keep hitting it? He guarded it closely, cautious with his actions.
