The scene was temporarily at a standstill.
Among the four human beings on site, only Zhou You has the ability to catch up with the Black Cloak's pace and try to stop him.
The rest of Lu Jianian, Peng Long, and Ning Meng were left standing on the ground, just staring in helplessness.
But it just so happened that the Black Cloak was fully absorbed in performing his Serpent Dragon Dance at this moment, and had no intention of confronting Zhou Qi head-on.
This left Zhou Qi, who relied on the Sky-Locking Lock to fly up into the sky, in a state of helplessness as well.
She was also powerless until the soul-locking chain caught the Black Cloak.
"F*ck, why is the ground in the underworld so clean? At least throw in a random little pebble!"
Time was passing by second by second, and as Zhou Qi failed to catch up with the Black Cloak, Giant Peng Long's mood gradually became agitated. He angrily kicked the grasshopper-demon beside him.
The grasshopper-demon was now waiting for its leader to complete its magnificent transformation and then lead it to a perfect comeback against the wind, so it didn't pay much attention to the actions of Giant Peng Long.
After all, who would bother to argue with a dead person!
"Rocks? That makes sense. We may not have rocks, but we have Zhou Qi!"
Lu Jianian, upon hearing Peng Long's complaint, immediately lit up.
He had just seen Zhou Qi transform something with his own eyes. What ghost door scene, what magical artifact gold-back small axe, and even a piece of magical artifact upgraded spontaneously while in Zhou Qi's hand.
Based on Lu Jianian's deduction, Zhou Qi's awakening ability is definitely related to items, comparable to Ding dang cat!
"Zhou Qi! Can you come up with something, anything? It doesn't matter what it is, just as long as there's enough quantity to throw at it to create targets for your soul-locking chain!"
Thinking of this, Lu Jianian shouted towards Zhou Qi's position again.
The snake-demon's Black Cloak dance was nearing its end, and if not stopped soon, it would truly be too late!
"Rubbish? Quantity?"
While Zhou Qi was still throwing the soul-locking chain, his brain suddenly clicked into gear. He remembered the items he had touched in the special affairs management department's equipment room.
There were plenty of things she could throw in that huge pile of stuff she didn't recognize!
Zhou Qi promptly threw a dark object towards Lu Jianian's direction.
【-10 days of lifespan deducted. Unlock Fragmentary Hand grenade!】
"I... I'm not, can't you just throw a hand grenade? Throw a pistol instead. You're not even sure you can catch it with your soul-locking chain. It'll just become scrap if it explodes!"
Giant Peng Long caught the object Zhou Qi threw over immediately, it was an instinct as a melee class. However, upon seeing the item in his hand, Peng Long's face turned dark with lines of annoyance, and he loudly muttered.
"Grenade is fine, just throw it out and see if you can blow up that guy!"
Lu Jianian, unlike Giant Peng Long who loves to chide, only thinks about the use of the items in his hand in the first place.
Zhou Qi from this side also realized that he had thrown the wrong thing, and immediately switched to several other items, throwing them out all at once.
【-10 days of lifespan deducted. Unlock QSZ semi-automatic pistol!】
【-20 days of lifespan deducted. Unlock heavy bulletproof vest.】
【-30 days of lifespan deducted. Unlock anti-riot shield.】
【...】
One familiar piece of equipment after another was thrown in front of Lu Jianian, and watching the small mountain of gear at his feet, even the usually calm and composed Lu Jianian began to crack under the pressure.
Is this woman's ability unrestricted in use?
"King's Treasure!"
Ning Meng also gazed blankly at the scene before her, and this immediately reminded her of the anime she used to love, this must be Gilgamesh himself!
This is too heroic!
"Stop daydreaming, help us out!"
"Zhou Qi, you shouldn't just keep throwing things; use your soul-locking chain!"
Giant Peng Long had already thrown out a lot of things, but looking at Zhou Qi still digging equipment and the two stunned companions, he realized for the first time that his teammates were unreliable!
Can't we do something serious?
"Oh oh!"
Ding dang cat, zhenjing Lu, and dai dai Meng nodded in unison, then refocused their attention on the Black Cloak.
"Hahaha, a group of idiots, too late! Too late! You're too late! You can't stop your leader's evolution; you're just waiting to die!"
The grasshopper-demon had been pretending to be transparent, watching the lively scene of Zhou Qi and his companions quietly. However, it seems they had finally realized something and the grasshopper-demon quickly opened its mouth to mock them, attempting to divert their attention.
He couldn't let these people interrupt their leader's evolution.
This is the only lifelong wish of the leader for so many years!
He must do his best to protect the leader's dream!
A sense of grandeur rose in the grasshopper-demon's heart, the loyal and selfless act of protecting his leader at all costs filled him with excitement.
Then... the grasshopper-demon went into a rage.
Because he found that no one was paying attention to him.
He shouted for a while, but none of his words could catch even the slightest attention.
At this moment, everyone was fully focused on throwing things at the leader, whether to hit the Black Cloak or to provide a target for Zhou Qi's soul-locking chain. In short, no one had the leisure to bother with the grasshopper-demon.
"Damn, damn, damn! Go and die!"
The grasshopper-demon was unable to contain his rage, but the special shackles from the special affairs management department restricted his movement, locking him in place and causing him to roll around helplessly like a silkworm.
"Focus on the items in our hands, don't look at the snake-demon! No matter how much attention you pay to him, it won't do any good until you get close to him! Breathe deeply and focus!"
Lu Jianian tried to throw a few items out, but he didn't hit the Black Cloak or successfully latch onto Zhou Qi's chain.
Or, Zhou Qi couldn't latch onto any of the items with his soul-locking chain, missing almost every throw!
This forced Lu Jianian to call out a reminder again.
"You have to use our items to get close to the snake-demon, and then find an opportunity to attack it. Although it's complicated, this is our only chance!"
Lu Jianian wasn't suited for being a cheerleader. Even though he was trying to encourage the team, with his serious face like a blank sheet, it sounded more like he was lecturing than cheering.
However, Zhou Qi was impressive. After Lu Jianian's reminder, she immediately changed her method of controlling the soul-locking chain, no longer trying to get close to the Black Cloak, but instead concentrating all her attention on the items held by the three people.
"Up!"
Giant Peng Long picked up the anti-riot shield on the ground, aiming at the Black Cloak in the sky and threw it.
"Go!"
Zhou Qi followed suit by throwing the soul-locking chain, aiming directly at the flying anti-riot shield.
Whoosh, the soul-locking chain thrown out this time did not disappoint, precisely catching onto the anti-riot shield.
Taking advantage of the soul-locking chain wrapping around the anti-riot shield, Zhou Qi gave a strong pull, and her figure immediately leaped into the air, soaring towards the Black Cloak.
