Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 974: Chapter 62: Sitting Duck

In the battle arena, yellow sand stained with blood, the audience seats were bustling with noise. The combat had lasted for more than twenty hours; naturally, these spectators wouldn’t watch the whole time.

As the sun rose and the audience gradually returned, the second round of the match was about to begin.

”Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder how well everyone rested last night. Hak was too excited to sleep. The battles of the Annihilator, the Wind Prince, and the Insect Tribe Bank last night must have left a deep impression on everyone. The first round has already weeded out the weak, and the second round will be unimaginably exciting...”

Commentator Hak began stirring up the audience’s atmosphere; Su Xiao sat in the participant’s audience seat, looking ahead, contemplating the knowledge of alchemy.

”Without further ado, the first match of the second round begins now. Please welcome the contestants to the stage...”

Su Xiao’s focus wasn’t on the match; he was simulating the catalytic reactions of alchemy materials in his mind.

”Contestant No. 106, that Annihilator, hey.”

Hak’s shout brought Su Xiao back to his senses.

”So soon.”

Su Xiao didn’t expect to be the first to enter the stage; this was a good thing.

He stood up and walked towards the yellow sand field, where a blond man had already entered the arena, greeting the audience with open arms.

”Yulu, hang in there, the God of Holy Wings is sheltering you.”

”Annihilators are not to be feared; this is no longer their era.”

In the audience, more than 80% of the female spectators cheered for Yulu, while compared to these enthusiastic women, the cheers from those Demon Clan brothers were noticeably less imposing.

”Annihil...”

A male Demon Boy was just about to cheer for Su Xiao when the female Holy Wing Tribe member beside him glared at him. This female Holy Wing Tribe member was the goddess of the Demon Boy, the kind of goddess he had been pursuing for a long time. Those pure white wings and her beautiful appearance indeed made her a genuine goddess.

Between his ally and the goddess, this new generation Demon Boy unhesitatingly chose the goddess.

”Yulu, go... go for it.”

The Demon Boy weakly whispered, making the female Holy Wing Tribe member chuckle.

Hearing the weak shout, the surrounding Demon Clan members turned their heads, clearly thinking, ”We have a traitor among us.”

”The strength of the Holy Wing Tribe Yulu is evident to everyone, and the power of the Annihilator is also well-known. Everyone, look forward to this slaughter; the match... begins!”

Hak elongated the word, announcing the start of the match.

Su Xiao and the Holy Wing Tribe member named Yulu stared at each other from afar. Yulu had already understood Su Xiao’s combat style from the first round, so he deliberately kept his distance.

Whoosh~

A pair of pure white wings unfolded, Yulu flapped his wings and soared upwards, while Su Xiao stood in place, seemingly contemplating something.

”Distracted during combat, the Annihilator is nothing special.”

Yulu flapped his wings, sending a storm of white feathers shooting towards Su Xiao. The feathers were enveloped in a layer of colorless energy, making each feather taut and straight like sharp spikes.

As the feathers came hurtling towards him, Su Xiao tilted his body, took a sidestep, and evaded a large number of feathers at an incredible angle.

Swish, swish, swish...

The feathers pierced into the sand and disappeared. Su Xiao immediately sensed something was off; the threat from these feathers was still present.

”As long as I keep a distance and wear you down, after a thousand fallen feathers, it’ll be your demise.”

Yulu mumbled, flapping his wings to ascend even higher.

Su Xiao looked up at the birdman above. This birdman’s flying speed was extremely fast, and he seemed to be gathering energy for some move. Once the move was complete, even Su Xiao couldn’t escape unscathed.

For this type of opponent who liked to keep distance and dart around, Su Xiao had various ways to deal with them. He chose the simplest and most direct method.

A heavy sniper rifle nearly two meters long appeared in Su Xiao’s hand. It was the Spider Queen, and it hadn’t killed an enemy in a long time.

Su Xiao first adjusted the ’optical infrared detector 4-28x (passive)’ to 4x, estimated wind force, air humidity, and other factors before pulling the bolt.

Click.

The Spider Queen was loaded. Su Xiao held up the Spider Queen with both arms, tilted his head close to the scope, and two seconds later, he locked onto Yulu in mid-air.

In the instant he was locked on by the Spider Queen, Yulu’s pupils contracted, his heart pounded, and he wondered what kind of thing Su Xiao was holding—a sniper rifle? Its length was too exaggerated; it looked like a high-tech sniper cannon.

Seeing the black and red gun body of the Spider Queen, Yulu felt it was a barbaric, ferocious weapon. If hit directly, he’d be struck down like a bird.

Bang!

A heavy, muffled gunshot rang out, and Su Xiao’s feet dug into the sand, retreating a short distance.

The 17.36mm caliber bullet left the Spider Queen’s barrel, the sharp projectile cutting through the air, creating ripples where it passed.

At this moment, Yulu in mid-air had one feeling—horror. If he didn’t do something, he’d definitely be shot down.

In fact, Yulu was overthinking it. The risk of him being shot down wasn’t high. With the power of the Spider Queen, direct hits would shatter him in no more than three shots.

As the bullet came towards him, Yulu’s wings spread wide, using the resistance generated by flapping his wings against the air to change his position.

Whoosh!

The bullet whizzed past, blowing through Yulu’s golden hair. Just as he was startled, a shadow swooped towards him.

”Caw, caw, caw...”

A completely black crow plunged onto Yulu’s back, its sharp claws tightening, attempting to dig into Yulu’s flesh.

With a flap of his wings, Yulu smashed the crow, and instead of blood, fragments flew, to be precise, it was pseudo-living material.

The shattered entity was an alchemy raven, mainly used for reconnaissance, not a combat-type alchemical creature.

Although it was killed in one hit, the alchemy raven fulfilled its mission; a gel-like substance was attached to Yulu’s back.

On the yellow sand field, through the scope, Su Xiao kept Yulu locked, while a large number of alchemy ravens released from his storage space swarmed around. He could only control one alchemy raven at a time, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t activate a lot of them.

Nearly a thousand alchemy ravens were activated, circling around Su Xiao, some even perching on his shoulders.

”Caw, caw, caw...”

The ravens fluttered and soared on the field, with Su Xiao standing amidst the raven swarm, consistently keeping his target locked.

Once he ensured all alchemy ravens were activated, he activated the ’array diagram coordinate receiver’ on Yulu’s back, pre-set with a signal to attack.

In an instant, all alchemy ravens turned their gaze to Yulu. From their eyes, inscribed with alchemical formation diagrams, not a hint of emotion was visible.

”Not good.”

Yulu spread his wings, flying higher. However, he wasn’t the only one who could fly; the alchemy ravens were adept flyers as well.

Whoosh.

Over a thousand alchemy ravens swarmed towards Yulu, literally covering the sky and blocking the sun.

A scene unfolded on the field: a white-winged birdman flying swiftly high in the sky, followed by a large number of ravens. Yulu could fly at high altitudes, but he couldn’t leave the vertical range of the battle arena, and there was an energy shield blocking higher areas; he could only fly up to 500 meters at most.

What defines a sitting duck? Yulu now is exactly that.
