At the sound of that voice, Xu Le instinctively glanced at Ai Li, and Ai Li looked at him too.
Both saw the surprise in the other's eyes.
But before they could discuss what had happened at the stone tablet earlier, Ai Li spun around and kicked at the partition behind them.
Boom!
Her long leg smashed through the partition wall, and the heel of her high-heeled shoe pierced straight through a Level 3 guard's head, pinning him to the wall.
As Ai Li struck, gunfire rang out as well.
Bang, bang, bang!
The powerful Zion pistols and enchanted bullets instantly riddled the tongue-sticking guard with holes.
But Xu Le's attention was entirely on the guard Ai Li had kicked.
He recognized the guard whose head had been pierced: he was the one who had followed them earlier.
Ai Li's attack was brutally forceful, but the problem now was that this man... wasn't dead!
[Error, Level 3.]
"Error?"
Looking at the rather brief prompt, Xu Le's first reaction was that this thing had failed to complete its mutation, resulting in some kind of error.
But he had no time to think further and hurriedly shouted to Ai Li:
"Get back!"
"Huh?" Ai Li hesitated.
She and Xu Le hadn't fought together much, so she couldn't obey his every word the way Wang Shu did.
While she was still puzzled, the man's fingers had already turned into tendrils and wrapped around her calf.
Slightly startled, Ai Li instantly sprouted fur all over her body and let out a series of low growls at the mutated guard.
"Grrr!"
As the dog growled, her claw tore through the tendrils around her leg, while the guard opened his mouth at Ai Li and let out a strange shriek.
"Aaah!"
Red Moon Spirit!
