In a clearing in the forest, a hunting team surrounded a lone shield.
Although the opponent had thick skin and thick horny armor, he couldn't stop the team members from taking turns to attack. In just five minutes, the shield-armored black corpse tried to break through the defense line many times, but was helplessly cut into a human stick by four or five broadswords. In the end, the leader of the power-type ability decided the outcome with one move. He jumped up high, slashed down with his sword, and hit the back of the neck where the shield was weak, causing the corpse of this powerful enemy to separate.
The folding knife poked open the eye socket, ending the life of the shield. Captain Wang Kun laboriously cut open the opponent's brain core and took out an orange crystal core, with a look of joy on his face.
"Captain, that knife just now was so cool!"
"Hahaha, we killed a second-level special sense, this cow can boast for three days!"
"That's right, so what about the special black corpse? I'm not going to die at the hands of these brothers."
"It's a good thing that the captain is a late-level second-level ability user, otherwise we would be helpless against this 'bastard shell'."
"Yes! Thanks to the captain, he is so powerful!"
Wang Kun felt happy when he heard the team members' generous praise. In terms of evolutionary attributes alone, a power user like him is the most ordinary, and his combat power cannot be said to be outstanding. As early as before the siege, Wang Kun was just an ordinary second-level evolver. It was an awakening potion given by the city lord's palace on the eve of the decisive battle that allowed him to complete his transformation.
After becoming an ability user, Wang Kun followed the large army and killed many low-level black corpses. With the continuous fighting, his strength has stabilized. Now he is a late second-level power user with the ability "Full Strike", which allows him to gather all the power of his body into one place in an instant, and the power of the explosion can be doubled.
Nowadays, ordinary black corpses are no longer his opponent. This second-level shield is the most powerful enemy he has ever killed.
"Hahaha, brothers, you're welcome. If you hadn't held it back, I wouldn't have been able to kill the enemy with one strike. I will definitely share the points gained this time with everyone."
Upon hearing this, the team members beamed. As long as they have enough points, they can purchase awakening potions.
Although the last free potion did not allow them to successfully awaken, who can say for sure that they will not be the next lucky one. There is nothing you can do about poor talent, but as long as there is hope, who doesn’t want to leap over the dragon’s gate and control their own destiny?
"Thank you Captain!"
"Captain is so handsome!"
"Long live the captain!"
The compliments from the team members made Wang Kun feel a little elated.
This operation went really smoothly, and Wang Kun's self-confidence was unprecedentedly expanded. At this moment, he even felt that he was probably no weaker than the veteran ability users in the base.
Just as people were making noise, there was a rustling sound in the dense forest. The branches swayed, as if something was shuttling through the woods. The steps were very heavy step by step, and many dead branches were inadvertently crushed, making a "click-click" sound.
For a moment, the hunting team felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Wang Kun hurriedly put the glass bottle containing the crystal core into his pocket and called for others to form a defensive formation.
"Back off! Spread out, spread out!"
Those who can survive the siege still have this vigilance.
Along with Wang Kun's roar, the mysterious creature in the dense forest also roared and rushed out of the woods.
"Hoo uh——"
Everyone took a closer look and found that in front of them was a gorilla that was more than two meters long. It has broad shoulders and a round waist, and its arms are as thick as its calves. The varicose blood vessels entwine its arms all the way up to its neck. On the ugly face, saliva dripped from the bloody mouth. In the center of the pale sclera was a pair of dark orange pupils, looking steadily at Wang Kun opposite.
"It's a gorilla! Late second level!"
"Go on, kill it!"
Everyone screamed, but did not flinch. The two of them raised their iron shields together and surrounded the gorilla from left to right. Others also picked up machetes and followed closely, waiting for an opportunity to chop down the big guy.
"Roar!"
Gorillas seem to be particularly angry at being slighted by lower-level food. He raised his huge fist and fired his bow left and right, but was still suppressed by the iron shield with the cooperation of the evolvers. Although the gorilla is powerful, the iron shield can disperse the force and avoid hurting the evolver hiding behind the shield. Slowly, several iron shields advanced. Others were holding machetes and watching eagerly. The gorilla's space for movement had been greatly compressed.
At this time, the deputy captain Yuan Qi, who was also the only female evolver in the team, seized the opportunity and hit the gorilla in the popliteal area with a hammer. Yuan Qi is in the late second level, and like Wang Kun, is a type that focuses on power evolution. She used 80% of her strength to hit the punch, which weighed an astonishing 1,000 kilograms, twice the weight of boxing champion Ali's punch in the last century.
After the hammer hit, the gorilla suddenly lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground. Other team members also swarmed up and pinned it down with shields and knife backs!
"Well done! Press it down and look at my broadsword! Strike with all your strength -"
Wang Kun was overjoyed when he saw this. He hurried forward, took a few steps and then jumped out of the knife. The muscles of his arms suddenly bulged while he was still in the air, showing that he had used all his strength.
He believed that no second-level creature could withstand this sword. In this way, another second-order crystal core is obtained!
Who would have thought that there would be a commotion on the ground at this time.
"No. I can't hold it anymore!"
Before Wang Kun's attack came, Yuan Qi and others suddenly felt something bad. Previously, everyone in the team had been hunting the lone special sense one after another, which had consumed a lot of their physical strength. Now, with several people working together to suppress the gorilla, they couldn't even hold on for a few seconds!
"Hoo uh——"
With a shocking roar, the five people holding swords and shields were all overturned. The gorilla stood up angrily and faced Wang Kun's sword. After being shocked, Wang Kun didn't think anything else and instantly activated the effect of his ability, doubling his strength!
"Click."
The gorilla subconsciously raised his arm to resist, but was cut off by Wang Kun's sword. But before he could get happy, the gorilla's other fist came with the wind and hit his chest hard.
The speed of this punch is too fast! Before Wang Kun's sword hit the gorilla's head, he himself was knocked away with his sword.
"Click——"
There was a sound of fractures in his body, and in the sight of the team members, Wang Kun flew out like a kite with a broken string, and smashed into the trees.
"Old Wang!" Yuan Qi's eyes turned red instantly, and the others were also frightened.
"This guy is stronger than that shield, please save the captain!"
"Shoot, shoot quickly!"
"Da da da……"
The necromorph had no sense of pain, and everyone was in a panic. The pistol bullets they poured out just opened a few holes in the gorilla's back, like scratching an itch.
Normally, even if the bullets are useless, they can still anger the opponent and attract the attention of these guys. But this time, this guy seemed to have identified Wang Kun on the opposite side. No matter how people harassed him from behind, it just pounced on Wang Kun who fell to the ground.
"Hiss..."
Wang Kun didn't want to die, but the pain from the fracture made him unable to muster any strength. He sat on the ground and backed up, trying to get further away from the gorilla, but the opponent's speed was obviously much faster.
In the blink of an eye, the gorilla was in front of him!
"It's over..."
Wang Kun felt despair for a moment. He knew that in the eyes of the gorilla, as an ability user, he was a rare delicacy. Thinking about how just a moment ago, he led his men to hunt down the black corpses wantonly, but now he was switching offense and defense, and he was about to become the opponent's meal. Life is really like a drama...
"ah."
"Boom!"
People screamed in surprise, but Wang Kun did not feel that he was attacked. He opened his eyes and saw a slender girl standing in front of him. After she landed, she kicked the gorilla over with a sweep of her legs, and then stabbed the opponent's eye socket with her dagger.
Fast, too fast!
It wasn't until she twisted the dagger to kill the big guy that people said quietly: "So... so strong."
Someone recognized Yang Xiaoxiao and shouted, "Captain Yang." She was the leader of the Qianying team, and also served as a combat instructor for a period of time during the training of the city defense army. It was not a bad idea for these people to call her captain.
Wang Kun, who narrowly escaped death, was sweating profusely, and his whole body looked like he had been fished out of the water.
With the support of the team members, he struggled to stand up and watched Yang Xiaoxiao neatly cut open the gorilla's head to take out the crystal core. He thanked him: "Captain Yang, you saved my life."
"If you're injured, go back to the city." The other party clapped his hands and stood up. Looking at the embarrassment of several people, he frowned as if he was displeased. "Next time, don't rush in. If possible, do you know how to send a signal flare?"
Without waiting for these people to answer, Yang Xiaoxiao rushed into the distance like the wind, leaving only their silhouettes walking away.
"Captain, are you okay?"
"Fortunately, I just broke my ribs, so I won't die."
"Then let's go back quickly."
"Okay, let's go back the way we came."
Wang Kun looked lonely at this time. He was defeated this time because he was greedy for success and eager for success. It should be noted that if everyone gathered together to work together to find out its flaws, they might not be able to capture this gorilla. But it is absolutely impossible to be as relaxed as Yang Xiaoxiao...
They were both at the second level, he was at the mid-level of the second level, and Yang Xiaoxiao was at the peak of the second level. I didn't expect that the gap would be so big.
Before leaving, Wang Kun cupped his hands in the direction Yang Xiaoxiao left, shook his head in shame, and suddenly felt the ridiculousness of his idea not long ago.
After leaving Wang Kun's team, Yang Xiaoxiao walked north through the jungle and came to the forest ranger station area under Fengwei Mountain. There used to be several kilometers of barbed wire fences here that could impede the advance of the Black Corpse army and were of great help on the eve of the siege.
Now, under the ravages of the passing tide of corpses, the wire fence is already crumbling, and many steel pillars are tilted here and there. From a distance, it looks like it has just experienced an earthquake.
As the saying goes, a broken ship still has three pounds of nails. The tattered wire fence still blocked a large number of black corpses on the national highway outside the ranger station.
Where there are many black corpses, the larger the wisps of mid-level special senses appear, and the greater the probability of obtaining mid-level crystal nuclei.
Because crystal core storage requires low-temperature equipment, the crystal core will be priced down when sold to the Langya City official. Often the points obtained from selling the crystal core to the official are not enough to buy the crystal core back from the official. This difference is jokingly called a tax by evolutionists.
But what makes people excited is that after the war, in order to encourage people to participate in hunting black corpses, Langya City promised to make this crystal core recycling tax-free.
In other words, whoever gets more crystal nuclei this time depends entirely on their ability. What they get is theirs, and no one can take it away. Faced with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accumulate a small treasury, Yang Xiaoxiao was tempted.
This time she focused on a group of ghost monkey corpses. The opponent was not large in size. There were only six first-level ghost monkeys wandering aimlessly with two peak second-level guys.
Since the signal from the Corpse King disappeared, the remaining black corpses outside Fengwei Mountain no longer act in unison. Later, the fighting subsided, the sound of the explosion disappeared, and the black corpses completely lost their way in the jungle. However, the lost black corpses do not feel anxious. They just gather in small groups, wandering around completely driven by instinct, in order to find prey to fill their stomachs.
The ghost monkey black corpse, which has always had keen senses, did not notice a human figure following them at this moment. When there was a sudden sound of footsteps, they looked back and saw the blade of Yang Xiaoxiao's dagger coming towards them!
"Uh uh uh……"
The rushing impact immediately knocked over the leading second-level ghost monkey. Yang Xiaoxiao pressed his knee on the ghost monkey's neck, and the tactical blade was fully inserted into its eye socket. The victim's limbs twitched and soon stopped moving.
The prey was right in front of them, and the eyes of the other ghost monkeys instantly lit up.
They didn't care that Yang Xiaoxiao had just killed his comrade and was the strongest on his side. They just opened their mouths and screamed before biting her.
The death of their companions did not make them feel frightened or sad. In fact, they did not have such emotions. Yang Xiaoxiao was a human being. In their eyes, Yang Xiaoxiao was a lamb to be slaughtered and the most delicious food. As for companions, what are they? Can it be eaten?
"Ho ho ho..."
"snort."
Assassination is all about surprise, which is why assassins can repeatedly defeat opponents of equal or even greater strength. After killing the second-level peak ghost monkey with one sword, Yang Xiaoxiao felt that he had lost the opportunity and was unwilling to fight with the remaining ghost monkeys. He jumped around to avoid the edge temporarily.
But the other party didn't seem to want her to get what she wanted. The ghost monkeys were accustomed to winning with speed. They swarmed around, their long forearms and finger claws blocking almost all Yang Xiaoxiao's escape routes.
"You are really merciless." Yang Xiaoxiao looked stern, and immediately turned around and took out two wolf fang daggers. He looked at these monkey-like monsters and sneered, "But I think you are overestimating your capabilities!"
In the blink of an eye, she moved.
Yang Xiaoxiao's body moved at high speed, throwing out afterimages, and the next moment she was in front of several ghost monkeys. She spun around and kicked away the two first-order ghost monkeys blocking the way. When he opened his eyes again, the blade of the wolf fang dagger had already arrived in front of the second-level peak ghost monkey.
"What a nuisance."
It was clear that the blade had arrived and he could retreat in the next moment, but Yang Xiaoxiao had to let go and retreat. It turns out that the claws of the second-level ghost monkey have arrived at this time. If Yang Xiaoxiao hadn't retreated quickly, he might have been the one who was pierced at this time!
"Stab" a soft sound.
Yang Xiaoxiao's face was ashen as she was retreating. She looked down at the scratched skirt, and anger suddenly appeared on her face. Looking around, other ghost monkeys were already surrounding him. She knew in her heart that she had delayed the opportunity by flying away the two ghost monkeys that were in the way, but if she wanted to attack one of them, she would inevitably expose her back to other special senses.
"Brother Lang Hua wants us to fight without our abilities and hone our skills. But I really don't want to waste time in front of you trash!"
"Phantom!"
