“This is the seventh level-three insect beast. The C Grade Region is indeed much more dangerous than the D Grade Region.”
In a dilapidated building, Wang Xu and the others were resting on the spot. Song Zhen took out a mini laptop and kept inputting data to analyze.
“C Grade Regions and D Grade Regions aren’t just different in the number of level-three insect beasts. Even their strength also increases a lot. The same level-three ‘Bronze Tear Beast’ here requires three times the effort to deal with.” Wang Xu wiped the blood off his sword.
Compared to the D Grade Region, the difficulty of the trial was much higher in the C Grade Region. The level-three insect beasts liked to live together in groups. Occasionally, they would catch a lone one, but when they tried to kill it, another would hop out.
Fortunately, with Zhang Xinglin and Tang Yan joining in, dealing with two level-three insect beasts wasn’t a problem at all. Wang Xu believed that if it were just him, Zhou Ge, and Song Zhen this time, they would have been severely injured by the Bronze Tear Beasts.
“Song Zhen, count the insect beasts we’ve hunted.” Wang Xu said to Song Zhen.
A moment later.
“The statistics are out. Brother Wang, you killed 112 level-one insect beasts, 45 level-two insect beasts, and two level-three insect beasts. According to the point exchange rules, you have 208 points.
“Senior Zhang killed 134 level-one insect beasts, 34 level-two insect beasts, and two level-three insect beasts. According to the point exchange rules, you have 208 points.”
After Song Zhen said that, Wang Xu and Zhang Xinglin looked at each other.
“Senior Tang killed 98 level-one insect beasts, 23 level-two insect beasts, and one level-three insect beast. According to the point exchange rules, you have 147 points.
“Zhou Ge killed 35 level-one insect beasts, 13 level-two insect beasts, and one level-three insect beast. You have 65 points.
“I killed 42 level-one insect beasts, 17 level-two insect beasts, and one level-three insect beast. I have 79 points.”
He read out the data one by one. Other than Wang Xu and Zhang Xinglin, who had more than 200 points, the rest had below 200 points.
But even so, this made Song Zhen and the others very happy. In less than five hours, they already had such results. By the time the trial ended tomorrow afternoon, their points would probably break through 200!
For Song Zhen and Zhou Ge, if their points could exceed 200 points, it meant that they had a chance to enter the top 20 or top 30 of the scoreboard. The cultivation resources they could get would be much better than before.
As for Tang Yan, after hearing about her points, she looked at Wang Xu and Zhang Xinglin as she frowned, seemingly very dissatisfied with her results.
No matter what, she was a master in the top ten of the scoreboard. It was really intolerable for her to fall so much behind.
Wang Xu was also slightly surprised by these results. He must admit that with the addition of Zhang Xinglin and Tang Yan, the team’s strength had greatly increased. Just like when they were besieged by dozens of level-two insect beasts just then, If not for their help, he would probably have suffered some injuries and lost some blood even if he could escape.
“Let’s go. The sun will go down in three hours. We have to hunt again before nightfall,” said Wang Xu as he stood up.
They immediately packed their things and followed Wang Xu out of the old building.
…
At the same time, on the other side of the forest, Xu Yuan was leading five level-three Gene Warriors as he looked at the electronic map on his wrist with a sinister smile.
“Wang Xu, oh Wang Xu, this time I will make you die miserably, very miserably!”
A moment later, Xu Yuan and the others followed the map’s signal and arrived at a radiation zone. If Wang Xu and his team were here, they would definitely be shocked. This radiation zone in front was their base!
“This is it. Place the energy pillar here.” Xu Yuan gave the order and the students behind him took out a purple cylinder the size of a water bottle.
Seeing that the four energy pillars had surrounded the radiation zone, Xu Yuan had a fierce look in his eyes. “It’s time for you to die next!”
…
“Poof!”
The long sword cut into the neck of a level-two insect beast. With a gentle push, the level-two insect beast’s head was separated from the body, and blood spouted out two to three meters high.
Wang Xu took back his sword and looked at Zhang Xinglin and the others. The sounds of slaughtering also gradually quieted down as they finished killing.
“Gather the corpses of the insect beasts and prepare to return to base.” Wang Xu glanced at the sky. The sun was setting and night was approaching. Once night fell in the insect beast zone,the combat strength of Wang Xu and the others would greatly decrease without a clear vision, and the level of danger would increase. They had to return to safety before it turned completely dark.
Everyone began to clean up the insect beast corpses, but no one noticed Zhou Ge’s eyes flickering as he cleaned up the corpses and took out a small bottle of green potion.
Zhou Ge secretly dripped the green potion on the corpse of an insect beast and buried it under the big tree before anyone noticed.
After doing all this, Zhou Ge put away the green potion and returned to the others as if nothing had happened.
A few minutes later, the bodies were cleaned up, and Wang Xu and the others set off to return.
“Crack, crack…” Suddenly, a cracking sound came. Everyone heard this sound and immediately became vigilant.
“Be on guard!” Wang Xu wielded his long sword that he put away just now again. He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
Tang Yan was behind Wang Xu. When she heard the sound of the soil cracking, she felt a slight shake coming from the ground. After pondering for a moment, Tang Yan’s expression changed drastically. “There’s an insect beast approaching from underground!”
This shout shocked everyone, but before they could react, a tree not far from them collapsed, and a huge insect beast broke out of the ground!
This insect beast was the size of a tank. It was like a caterpillar and had over a thousand legs. Its huge mouth was biting the corpse of another insect beast. It swallowed it easily and the corpse of the insect beast was eaten.
“A level-four Elite Insect, Soft Millipede!” Wang Xu was terrified and his face turned pale.
Wang Xu wasn’t the only one. Song Zhen, Tang Yan, Zhou Ge, and the others all had a drastic change in their expressions, especially Zhou Ge. His eyes were filled with fear and he murmured, “You lied to me… Xu Yuan… You lied to me…”
Amidst the chaos, no one cared about what Zhou Ge was murmuring about. However, among all of them, Zhang Xinglin’s eyes suddenly lit up. His aura was released and he licked his lips with fighting spirit, as if he wanted to challenge this level-four Elite Insect.
“Run!” Wang Xu immediately ordered.
There was no need for Wang Xu to give the order. The moment they recognized the Soft Millipede, they had already turned around and run!
A level-four Elite Insect’s strength was already on a completely different level from theirs. No matter how many people they had, they were just an appetizer in front of the level-four Elite Insect!
“Zhang Xinglin, what are you doing?! Run!”
At that moment, Wang Xu turned around and realized that Zhang Xinglin didn’t seem to have any intention of escaping. Instead, he took two steps forward. Wang Xu’s scalp instantly went numb. “Is this guy thinking of challenging the Soft Millipede?!”
Zhang Xinglin turned a deaf ear to his words. He held his black sword tightly and walked towards the Soft Millipede step by step.
At the same time, the Soft Millipede also saw Wang Xu and the others. It had only eaten one insect beast, so this hungry Soft Millipede wriggled towards the person closest to it directly!
The Soft Millipede was the size of a tank. When it moved, it was as if it was crushing the ground. A deep gully appeared wherever it passed.
“Black Heart, Thousand Sword Shadows!” Zhang Xinglin jumped up, and the black sword in his hand immediately transformed into thousands of sword shadows that struck at the Soft Millipede!
High-level Ancient Martial Art!
With just one look, Wang Xu knew that Zhang Xinglin was using a high-level Ancient Martial Art and he had already reached the initial success stage!
Thousands of sword shadows charged forward, enveloping all the Soft Millipede within. The Soft Millipede had nowhere to run at all!
Zhang Xinglin revealed a look of joy. This was his strongest attack. It was best to use it on a level-four Elite Insect.
But soon, his smile froze.
In the distance, Wang Xu and the others also became terrified.
Thousands of sword shadows hit the Soft Millipede’s body and pierced into its soft flesh. What was shocking was that the Soft Millipede didn’t bleed at all. The thousands of sword shadows entered its body and disappeared completely without a trace!
“Run!” At this moment, the power of the level-four Elite Insect gave Wang Xu and the others no intention of resisting at all.
Zhang Xinglin’s face was pale. He didn’t expect that his strongest attack couldn’t even leave a scratch on its body. This level-four Elite Insect was truly too terrifying!
However, Zhang Xinglin’s reaction wasn’t slow either. When the Soft Millipede was about to reach him, he leaped by the tree and rushed towards Wang Xu and the rest of the team.
The Soft Millipede let out a strange sound and its body squirmed again as it chased after Zhang Xinglin.
The Soft Millipede was very fast. It arrived next to Zhang Xinglin in the blink of an eye. Zhang Xinglin was frightened in his mind. Then, he gritted his teeth and took out a bottle of blue potion, drinking it immediately.
Zhang Xinglin was drinking the “Body Strengthening Potion” that He Shi had spent a large sum of money on for his students. This kind of potion could allow the person to unleash all of his potential within a short period of time, depending on each person. It could last for ten minutes. However, once the effects of the medicine wore off, the person would quickly fall into a weakened state. In serious cases, it could even harm the body, with very strong side effects.
After taking the Body Strengthening Potion, Zhang Xinglin’s aura skyrocketed and his speed suddenly increased. He went past Wang Xu and the others and ran in front.
Although the Soft Millipede was fast, this was a forest with many trees, which made the Soft Millipede slow down. However, it refused to give up and continued chasing Wang Xu and the others.
“We’re almost there. Everyone, hang on!” Just as Wang Xu said this, he looked up and was instantly stunned.
An energy shield?!
A faint purple light shield enveloped an area in the distance. That area was the base that Wang Xu and the others had set up earlier. But now, the energy shield created by the light screen had completely blocked them from entering.
“Damn it! Who did it?!” Song Zhen flew into rage when he saw this scene.
When Zhang Xinglin, who was at the front, stopped, Wang Xu and the others also stopped one after another. Wang Xu even stared firmly at the smiling guy in the light shield…
Xu Yuan!
It was indeed this bastard!
“Xu Yuan! Open the energy shield!” Song Zhen shouted.
“How is it? Being chased by a level-four insect beast is fun, isn’t it?” Xu Yuan said leisurely with a smile on his face.
“Tell me your condition. What do we have to do for you to let us in?” Wang Xu had already calmed down by now. He was probably the reason why Xu Yuan did this to them.
“It’s easy to talk to smart people.” Xu Yuan said with a smile, “In fact, I don’t have problems with them, so there’s no condition for them to come in. As for you, Wang Xu, you are not allowed to come in.”
