Faced with the sudden situation, Ye Yun pulled out his Blast Shot without a moment's hesitation.
Bang!
The bullet shot out and struck the white thread. The thread was quite tough and wasn't broken by the impact; instead, stung by the hit, it released the man and quickly retracted.
"Hey you, did you see that? I told you there were beasts around!"
Ye Yun stepped forward and scolded him irritably.
The man's face was pale, and he was still trembling with lingering fear. At that moment, he seemed to have been scared out of his wits.
"Hey, I said wake up!"
"Slap, slap!"
Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Yun gave him a few slaps, which also served to vent his own irritation.
Those few slaps immediately brought the man back to his senses. He nodded hastily and said, "We'll go down the mountain right now! Thank you so much!"
With that, the man hurried over and started gathering his things.
"Stop packing! Saving your life is what matters, run for it now!"
The other people nearby all stood up quickly, grabbed him, and bolted down the mountain at top speed.
Watching the group disappear, a faint smile appeared on Ye Yun's face. He glanced ahead and walked forward quickly.
That shot just now had been too sudden; the startled Vampila might have changed its position. Therefore, he now had to use himself as bait to continue drawing the Vampila out into the open.
The moment it showed itself, Ye Yun would transform instantly and charge into the mist.
After walking for a short while, another white thread reached out from the mist on a hilltop in the opposite direction. Relying on his extremely strong physical fitness, Ye Yun dodged forward fiercely, rapidly transformed into red Ultraman Nexus, and plunged straight into the mist.
Sure enough, there was a hazy figure. Because the mist was thick, it wasn't very clear.
"Meta Field!"
At that moment, Ye Yun released the Meta Field without the slightest hesitation. A yellow golden sphere enveloped him and the hazy figure, and they vanished instantly.
Inside the combat space of the Meta Field, the Vampila looked around in a daze, unsure how it had suddenly ended up in such a place.
Ye Yun stood twenty or thirty meters away from it, looking the Space Beast up and down. This Vampila had the upper body of a spider and the lower body of a firefly, looking like some kind of combination of the two creatures.
According to official data, this Vampila had ordinary combat and defensive capabilities; it was merely skilled at concealment and surprise attacks.
Whoosh!
Ye Yun in his red form rushed forward directly! He engaged the Vampila in fierce combat using his newly upgraded martial arts skills.
The poor Vampila was beaten to a pulp by Ye Yun—it was a completely one-sided slaughter.
After beating the Vampila soundly for a while, Ye Yun figured it was about time. He summoned the Storm Sword directly and killed the Vampila with a single slash.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for killing the Space Beast Vampila. You have obtained a silver treasure chest!"
"Open it!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Energy Points and 1 Vampila White Mist Card (Trial Card)!"
What on earth is a Vampila White Mist Card?
Ye Yun canceled his transformation, dropped back down to the summit of the mountain, and pulled out the Vampila White Mist Card to check its description.
[Vampila White Mist Card (Trial Card)]: Can release Vampila's white mist. One-time consumable card.
"Oh come on, this card... is kind of useless, isn't it?"
Ye Yun curled his lip and casually stashed it away. What's the use of releasing white mist? It's not even as good as Vampila's dissolving beam! Or Vampila's white thread would have been fine too—at least it would let him play Spider-Man for once...
Ye Yun took the spacecraft back to the hotel.
Having eliminated the Vampila, he was still feeling quite happy inside. This time, the silver treasure chest yielded the first monster skill card, which also showed that the System's rewards had undergone new changes. Who knows, perhaps he could obtain skill trial cards for other monsters in the future.
As for these Space Beasts, Ye Yun believed some of their skills were still quite powerful. In different Ultraman worlds, monsters always grew continuously alongside the growing strength of Ultraman. As the saying goes, as the path rises one foot, the devil rises ten. The ever-increasing strength of both monsters and Ultraman, locked in mutual struggle, was what made the plot increasingly exciting.
Ye Yun loved this feeling. He loved seeing monsters constantly grow stronger and pull out new tricks, only to be killed by him so he could happily open treasure chests. Every treasure chest opening was such a pleasant experience. Even if the harvest was a bit small, it only made him look forward to the next chest opening with even greater anticipation.
Ye Yun never grew tired of it.
Knock, knock, knock.
A sudden knock sounded at the door.
Ye Yun's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but check himself in the mirror again. Could it be that his handsomeness had attracted cute little Hiragi Shiori over here again?
If she really came looking for him, it truly had nothing to do with him! If anyone was to blame... he could only blame this face of his. Who told this face to be so handsome? Wherever he went, it would attract many pretty young girls, rushing toward Ye Yun like moths to a flame.
"Sigh, I don't want to be this handsome either; I can only blame my parents for having such great genes..."
Ye Yun sighed, walked over, and opened the door.
"Hello there, Ye Yun-kun!"
Ishibori Hikohiko stood at the doorway, looking at Ye Yun with a smile on his face.
Ye Yun's face instantly stiffened.
Damn it, it's actually Dark Zagi, this major boss, who came over. Why did he come in the middle of the night? Could it be that he's getting ready to make a move on him ahead of schedule?
Ye Yun blinked rapidly. He carefully scanned Ishibori Hikohiko's expression and found that the guy wore an honest and simple look, seeming to lack the gloomy demeanor of a cold-hearted boss.
Ye Yun felt slightly reassured. He suddenly felt that he was worrying over nothing; he already possessed the legendary Noa transformation state, so smashing this Dark Zagi to death would be just a matter of seconds.
It was just that Ishibori Hikohiko's sudden visit caught him a bit off guard mentally. After all, Ye Yun had always been following the progression of the plot. Right now, he had just killed the Space Beast Vampila, and logically speaking, it wasn't time yet for Dark Zagi to make his official appearance.
"Oh, it's Ishibori. What brings you here?"
Ye Yun leaned against the doorway, showing no intention of letting him in.
"I just came to take a look. Ye Yun-kun, aren't you going to invite me in to talk?" Ishibori Hikohiko said with an earnest expression.
"Come on in!"
Ye Yun shrugged, pulled the door open, and let Ishibori Hikohiko walk into the room.
It seemed this major boss truly had some of the bearing of a boss. Before the final showdown, did he really want to have a heart-to-heart chat and exchange pleasantries with him first?
That's interesting.
Ye Yun grew increasingly interested in this Ishibori Hikohiko and wanted to know the purpose of his visit tonight.
Ishibori Hikohiko looked around the room's environment, then glanced at the television and said with a smile, "The mist in the valley south of Shinjuku has all vanished. I wonder what happened..."
"Is that so? I really have no idea about that!"
Ye Yun smiled, refusing to admit that he had personally put an end to Vampila.
