Chapter 214: The Self-regenerative Ability of a Madman
"Damn, you turned into stone, bro!" A thought suddenly occurred to Mole after witnessing Armadillo's petrification. "Oh, that reminds me, I've seen footage of her past matches, but I forgot that she had this ability. It looks like even geniuses have slip-ups sometimes. Are you alright, bro?"
Mole made his way over to Armadillo to examine his condition, but he forgot to rein in his speed, and as a result, he crashed directly into Armadillo's petrified body, causing a series of cracks to appear on its surface.
"Ah, that was an accident! I didn't mean to do that!"
The cracks on Armadillo were becoming larger and larger as Mole frantically tried to do something, but to no avail, and in the end, Armadillo's entire body split into two.
"No!!! My brother! You killed my brother! I'm going to kill you! Rabbit!"
Mole immediately turned to Rabbit with a furious and grief-stricken roar, and upon witnessing what had happened to Armadillo, Rabbit also instantly erupted into a fit of fury. He immediately abandoned his pursuit of the two opponents that he had already beaten to the brink of death before rushing over to Mole.
"What the hell happened?"
"That bitch turned Armadillo into a stone statue, and now he's like this!"
"Kill her!"
Rabbit immediately charged at Medusa in a murderous rage.
"Look out for her petrification ability!" Mole hurriedly cautioned.
"Got it!"
As Rabbit was speaking, he enveloped himself in a strange soul domain, which was able to ward off Medusa's petrification attack.
"Things aren't looking good! Rattlesnake, activate the exit card!" historical
At this point in the battle, Medusa finally decided to exit the battle royale.
She had sustained severe damage, and the mobility of her withered body was severely diminished. Even at the height of her powers, Mole's speed was still superior to hers, and with the assistance of Rabbit, who was clearly also a powerful adapter in his own right, their combined powers far exceeded that of her team.
"I didn't think we would have to exit the battle royale before we've even found a single points card in the final zone." Medusa was very reluctant to leave, but she knew that there was no other alternative. "Rattlesnake, have you activated the exit card?"
"I have."
At this point, she had already detonated the exit card with an injection of psychic power, and a small psychic portal was slowly being opened.
This psychic world had been created by the director, so theoretically speaking, it would've been extremely difficult for anyone to break out of it unless they possessed superior psychic power to his. However, this exit card was able to slowly open up a passageway out of this psychic world, almost as if the director had arrived in person.
However, the psychic portal was opening up at an extremely slow rate.
Close to 20 seconds had already passed since the activation of the exit card, yet the portal had only reached the size of a human fist. At this rate, it was going to take at least a minute or two before it expanded to a size that was sufficient for Medusa and her teammates to fit through, and Rabbit and Mole certainly weren't just going to stand and watch during this time.
"These snakes are trying to escape! Kill them!"
Mole immediately rushed over to Medusa as he spoke, then struck her in the back with a blast of lightning. Medusa had only just turned around to retaliate with her petrification ability when Mole began to run circles around her with blue light radiating from his entire body, binding her with ropes of electricity.
"How dare you kill my brother!"
As soon as Medusa was bound by Mole, Rabbit also arrived on the scene, clasping his hands together before focusing all of his soul power into his arms, then swung his fists down upon Medusa's head with devastating power.
If this blow were to land, then there was a very good chance that Medusa's head was going to be shattered.
However, right at this moment, an enormous figure rushed in from the side, and not only did they shield Medusa from the attack, they were able to send Rabbit flying with a sweep of their giant serpentine tail.
Medusa had been saved just in the nick of time by a massive anaconda that was over 30 meters in length. However, after receiving such an almighty blow from Rabbit, Anaconda was also sent flying through the air, and a massive hole had been blown into her body.
Medusa was furious upon seeing this, and she struggled free from Mole's ropes of electricity before unleashing a string of petrification attacks in all directions.
However, Mole had accelerated to full speed with lightning enveloping his entire body, and he was able to evade all of Medusa's attacks.
Not only that, but he even had time to rush over to Belcher before attacking her with a blast of lightning.
At this point, Nie Yiyi had already returned to her senses, and she was feeling a little sympathetic toward Medusa's team.
"Should we help them? They did save me earlier..."
"To be more accurate, they saved all of us."
The Mole and Rabbit duo was far too formidable, especially now that they were familiar with Medusa's signature ability. Both of them were able to deal with Medusa's petrification attacks in their way, and as a result, they held a significant upper hand over Medusa's team.
The psychic passageway still wasn't wide enough for Medusa and the others to pass through yet, and if Adam and the others didn't intervene, perhaps Medusa wouldn't die, but there was a very good chance that everyone else on her team would perish.
"But won't we be going against those nutjobs if we try to help Medusa's team?" King Arthur was opposed to the idea of lending Medusa their assistance. "Even if you cover all your bases, there's still a chance that you'll die due to unforeseen circumstances. That's the nature of life. We already have enemies of our own, it would be unwise to make even more enemies."
"You're right. We shouldn't make more enemies, but how about we make some friends?" With that in mind, Adam suddenly yelled, "Brother Mole, I think your friend can still be saved!"
"What?" Mole immediately rushed over to Adam as a bolt of lightning upon hearing what he had to say. "What did you say just now? Did you just say that you can save Armadillo?"
"That's right?"
"How is that possible? He's already been turned into a rock, there's no way he's still alive!"
"Not necessarily. If I'm not mistaken, the three of you have far better self-regenerative abilities than the average adapter, right?"
Adam was making an educated guess here. Having faced psychic mutants in battle many times in the past, Adam had made an extensive effort to learn about this special class of adapters, and there was one thing that he remembered very clearly, which was that psychic mutants possessed superior self-regenerative abilities compared to normal adapters.
This piece of information came directly from the director of Carlin Asylum and one of the 12 bishops of the Psychic Church, Li Pengfei.
Having conducted many years of research into psychic mutants and the mentally ill, he discovered that clinically insane individuals were able to recover from psychic trauma more effectively than the average person.
If someone were already depressed, they would most likely be upset for a very long time if they were insulted by someone.
However, an insane individual didn't think like the average person, and they could simply fail to register an insult or quickly forget about it.
This was the theoretical foundation behind why psychic mutants possessed superior self-regenerative abilities.
"That's right, all three of us have very good regenerative abilities. How do you know that?"
"That's not important. What's important is that there's a chance that your friend can be saved. As long as there's still even the slightest hint of life left in him, there's a possibility that he could recover."
