Chapter 976: Chapter 976

Zhang Yi's shot made Baldier take it seriously.

He drew his bow and fired an arrow, which actually hit the Sacred Silver bullet mid-air with perfect accuracy.

But at that moment, the howling wind sound from nearby had already arrived.

Hua Hua charged wildly to Baldier's vicinity, its body like a tank, destroying everything in its path.

Baldier's gaze darkened as seven or eight giant gray wolves blocked Hua Hua's way.

Hua Hua let out a fierce roar, sharp and piercing, not gentle like when it was with Zhang Yi, but more like a ghost's wail.

It completely ignored those giant wolves and charged straight through them. The poor wolf pups were as fragile as toys before it, directly sent flying away.

Baldier put away his longbow and quietly disappeared into the thick fog.

When Zhang Yi raised his gun to continue shooting, in his Mind Domain, that hunter had vanished without a trace!

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes. The opponent clearly possessed some powerful method of concealing his presence.

"Planning to escape, are you?"

Strike once and immediately retreat far away.

This was an extremely cunning hunter, more troublesome than Zhang Yi had imagined.

Hua Hua angrily pounced on and killed several gray wolves.

However, after those gray wolves died, they actually turned into specks of silver light, dissipating in mid-air.

They weren't real beasts, but mutant beasts created from superhuman abilities.

Zhang Yi didn't continue pursuing, instead calling Hua Hua back.

He found a place to stop and rest, having Hua Hua and Lele responsible for guarding the perimeter.

He opened his smart system and carefully reviewed the information obtained from Hermit Boone several days ago.

It was intelligence about the Hell's Lock members.

Although incomplete, it would definitely yield some useful information.

Soon, he found information matching this troublesome opponent.

"Vito Baldier, codename [Uller], the hunting god and snow god in Norse mythology. The title indeed matches his abilities."

"Member of the Navy SEALs, powerful sniper, skilled in assassination."

"Abilities unknown, only known to possess ultra-long-range sniping capability. During the ocean standoff period, he hunted over twenty officers and superhumans from the East Sea Region." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ⓝovelFire.net

After reading the information, Zhang Yi felt somewhat indifferent.

This information wasn't very meaningful to him - he had already learned all this through their two encounters.

But just through this intelligence, he couldn't figure out how to kill his opponent at all.

"Seems not skilled in close combat, though this could also be a facade."

"Main attack methods are mutant energy arrows, powerful but unable to penetrate my Dimensional Gate."

"Although from his currently displayed abilities, he temporarily can't pose a fatal threat to me, he will affect my hunting operations."

Zhang Yi slightly furrowed his brows: "I must think of a way to eliminate this guy!"

But how easy was it to kill a powerful Navy SEALs member on the battlefield?

In terms of battlefield experience, the opponent far surpassed him.

For a moment, Zhang Yi fell into deep contemplation.

On the other hand, Baldier was even more troubled than Zhang Yi.

"A spatial superhuman with flawless defense. I've used my strongest arrows, yet still can't penetrate his defenses. Killing him is much more difficult than imagined."

At this moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

It was like using a sniper rifle to ambush a heavy tank.

Even if he got the first shot, all his attacks could only tickle the opponent.

More importantly, he discovered the opponent was extremely cautious, giving him no opportunities at all.

Every time he retreated, the opponent would absolutely not pursue, even though the opponent possessed super high movement speed.

If the opponent really dared to blindly chase him, he could set up traps based on that next time.

"How exactly should I deal with him?"

Baldier was somewhat troubled.

But compared to Zhang Yi, there was one thing he did differently.

From beginning to end, he actively communicated with the Colombian Navy's temporary command center, including providing real-time combat footage.

Then they would provide him with data analysis.

As for Zhang Yi, he hadn't communicated with Li Tianyang's side even once from start to finish.

Baldier transmitted the information he learned about Zhang Yi back, and the command center immediately obtained Zhang Yi's data.

"Superhuman captain from Jiangnan Region, Chaos. Ability is spatial, his ability codename is [Absolute Defense], a superhuman primarily focused on defense. But his personal combat power is also very formidable."

Huo En provided Baldier with Zhang Yi's information.

"Our current information about Jiangnan Region is limited. We only know he can transfer physical attacks to Alternate Dimensional Space."

"However, this ability isn't absolutely invincible. Cadillus previously fought him - as long as the power is strong enough, his space can be forcibly torn open."

He remained silent for a long moment before saying: "But the problem is, I'm not that guy Cadillus. What's the point of telling me this?"

Huo En remained silent for a moment: "I'm just reminding you, this might be useful information."

In reality, the command center couldn't provide Baldier with much help either.

It was like a fully-equipped ADC facing Gwen with her W active - there's nothing that can be done.

However, Baldier had his own assessment in mind.

"I'll solve this with my own methods."

He ended the communication, having made his preparations.

Since Zhang Yi's spatial defense was unsolvable, then he would just wait for his skill cooldown.

He didn't believe Zhang Yi could maintain his skill activation state 24 hours a day.

Even more, he didn't believe Zhang Yi wouldn't sleep for 24 hours a day.

This was a war of attrition. He had absolute distance advantage, so there was no need to rush to defeat his opponent.

Next, he would launch long-range attacks against Zhang Yi at irregular times every day.

Then, use the Da Vinci sleep method for rest.

He could control the battlefield initiative and sleep whenever he wanted.

But because his attacks were irregular, Zhang Yi would have to be constantly vigilant and unable to sleep.

Continuing , after three days, five days, even ten days or half a month, he could drive his opponent crazy with torment!

Baldier narrowed his eyes - his vision could still see that hexagram hanging high in the sky.

"Even if your ability is unsolvable, you're still human after all. As long as you're human, you will definitely get tired, anxious, and go crazy."

"Let's see who can outlast whom!"

Zhang Yi leaned against Hua Hua, falling into deep thought.

The cat and dog surrounded him like two walls, their stiff fur drooping down, soft and warm.

"If I were that guy, what would I do after encountering an opponent like me?"

"Either use even more powerful attack methods to break through the opponent's defense. But this is extremely difficult to achieve - superhumans below Epsilon level are almost impossible to break through my Dimensional Space."

"Or, stall me and call for teammates. After all, he can lock onto my position. But on Star Island, the number of superhumans who can help him deal with me is extremely small."

"The Colombian Navy wouldn't give up competing for the Divine Source just for me."

"What would I do if I were him? What would I do?"

Zhang Yi suddenly felt the current situation was somewhat familiar.

He couldn't help but recall six months ago, when he was hunting Yuan Kongye in Tianhai City.

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes: "Could he be playing the hawk-taming game with me?"
