Infinite Cosmic Cafeteria Chapter 52: Revenge

Translator: Stellar Novels Editor: Stellar Novels

The assassin saw Senqi charging at him and immediately swung his dagger.

However, Senqi did not dodge at all; instead, she raised her arm again. Even in her fury, she still had three thorns left, remembering her brother's advice not to fire all her thorns in one go during a hunt.

Thinking of her brother, Senqi’s eyes turned red, and the killing intent in her eyes intensified.

On the other hand, the assassin hesitated. He didn’t want to trade his life for hers, especially when he and his teammates already had the upper hand.

So, he put away the dagger and rolled to the side.

Senqi shot out another thorn, and it seemed to trigger the 【Headshot】 effect, flying straight towards the assassin’s head.

However, at the last moment, it was blocked by a steel shield.

Senqi, furious, raised her hand again, but she was already surrounded by several steel shields.

“You're having bad luck today, running into me,” the girl with the pointed face chuckled softly.

Hogg, having placed great importance on Bocchi, went to deal with her personally, while the remaining two rushed toward Ma Lu and Mai Mai.

The situation took a drastic turn in an instant.

Mai Mai looked tense as she began to unstrap her backpack.

However, the enemy’s preparation was thorough, and she wasn’t sure if her electric field could penetrate the thick insulated suits the two were wearing.

But at this point, she had no choice but to fight.

The two approached quickly; one had already swung his curved blade, and the other was gripping a dagger.

Mai Mai’s hand pressed against the stack of high-density batteries behind her.

But the first to act was Ma Lu.

He raised his hand crossbow, aimed at the person in front, and decisively pulled the trigger.

However, the bolt grazed past the person’s arm and flew off.

He missed!

The two attackers let out a sigh of relief. They had detailed information on every member of the Double Sunflower Hunting Party, including Setta and Senqi, who had just joined today.

But there was no information on Ma Lu. They only knew he was the vice-captain of the Double Sunflower Hunting Party, so they were unsure what to expect from him.

From that missed shot, they concluded that Ma Lu’s archery skills were quite mediocre. Moreover, when Bocchi and the others hunted the Lava Lizard earlier, Ma Lu and Mai Mai had only stood on the sidelines, directing rather than fighting, suggesting they were not very skilled in combat.

Ma Lu was a bit dissatisfied; that last shot hadn’t triggered the 【Headshot】 effect.

As expected, relying on luck couldn’t always work.

Fortunately, he hadn’t pinned his hopes on that one shot. After estimating the distance between them, he opened his mouth.

The two Sky Hunting Party members thought Ma Lu was about to call out to Bocchi for help, so they quickened their pace, almost upon Ma Lu and Mai Mai.

With such proximity, Ma Lu had no time to reload his crossbow, and the two attackers’ eyes gleamed with excitement.

But in the next moment, they saw a faint red glow emerging from Ma Lu’s throat.

The sight looked familiar, and one of them suddenly realized something, his expression changing drastically. “Watch out!”

Before he could finish speaking, scalding lava spewed from Ma Lu’s mouth!

The two tried to evade, but it was too late. They were too close, and in the blink of an eye, they were engulfed by the rushing lava, burning like two blazing torches.

Mai Mai stood frozen, her mind going blank.

Ma Lu, meanwhile, continued spewing lava as he charged towards Hogg, resembling a fire-spewing sprinkler truck.

Hogg was left utterly dumbfounded.

What kind of monstrosity is this?!

A human? Or some kind of mutated Lava Lizard?

How could a human mouth at 36 degrees spew out lava at 1000 degrees?! Doesn’t it burn his mouth?

To be honest, Ma Lu himself was a little worried about this problem, but after spewing lava for so long, he only felt a slight itch in his throat with no other discomfort.

【Death Spit】

【Super Imitation Show】: Designate a target, imitate its ability, and automatically meet the activation conditions. Imitation lasts for 30 seconds with a 2-hour cooldown.

Ma Lu originally intended to use this golden blessing to imitate Mai Mai’s electric field, but the enemy clearly came prepared against it.

It wasn’t just the electric field; every member of the Double Sunflower Hunting Party, except Ma Lu, had been calculated into the enemy’s strategy, with countermeasures in place, and Ma Lu was unfamiliar with the psychic abilities of Hogg and his group.

Instead, the Lava Lizard seemed like the simpler choice, especially since they had just hunted one, and Ma Lu had seen it spew lava multiple times.

It seemed pretty straightforward.

So, he tried designating the remaining Lava Lizard, and a new skill called 【Death Spit】 appeared in his character panel.

However, the time was short, and before Ma Lu could reach Hogg, the 30 seconds were up. Fortunately, Ma Lu was reloading his crossbow while running.

The first shot missed!

The second shot missed again!

Unfazed, Ma Lu reloaded and fired once more, finally triggering 【Headshot】.

The crossbow bolt curved mid-air, heading straight for Hogg.

Ma Lu was overjoyed; finally, he hit the mark!

But Hogg stood still, and suddenly several tornadoes appeared in front of him, swallowing Ma Lu’s arrow and whisking it away who knows where.

However, a sharp pain erupted in Hogg’s back, and Bocchi’s cold voice echoed in his ears, “Did you forget something?”

Only then did Hogg remember that he was still in the middle of a fight, but most of his attention had been drawn to Ma Lu.

Getting distracted in battle was a grave mistake, especially when your opponent was much faster than you.

Hogg looked down and saw the tip of a spear protruding from his chest, thinking that this had cost him dearly.

In a blink, three members of the Sky Hunting Party were down, including the vice-captain. The remaining members were thrown into chaos.

The girl with the pointed face still thought she could capture Senqi to threaten Bocchi and the others, but before she could act, something coiled around her right leg.

She turned to see a giant hand made of sand tightly gripping her, connected to a towering golem.

Her pupils shrank, and she blurted, “How is this possible?!”

Setta, who should have been dead, had somehow sat up from the ground, glaring at her fiercely and speaking slowly.

“Are you bullying my sister?!”

The pointed-face girl, though young, had killed many people, but she had never seen something so eerie. Terrified to the core, her fighting spirit vanished instantly, and she turned to flee.

But she forgot that she was still in the sand golem’s grasp. It lifted her up and slammed her into the ground repeatedly, like an enraged child throwing a toy.

In no time, the pointed-face girl was battered beyond recognition.

Only the two who were still trying to hold off the Lava Lizard remained. They had wanted to escape for a while but couldn’t shake off the giant creature trailing them. Senqi easily took them down with her thorns.

One was unlucky enough to get hit in the head and died on the spot, while the other was shot through the abdomen.
