Chapter 159 Chapter 124: The Trait of Tetanus Blade! The Alliance of Nine Households?

Translator: 549690339

Under the effect of Zheng Cheng’s Adrenaline Excitement Technique, these four new professionists, who were already at the end of their ropes, were instantly energized like they’d been injected with adrenaline, roaring and charging into the crowd of the Inferior Tribe.

Some professionists hidden among the tribe hoped to take advantage of their excitement and launched a surprise attack, but they were instantly beaten to death by the four.

On the other side, the cowards and Chen Xiao also received a shot of Adrenaline Excitement Technique.

With the continuous charges of five bulky men and a steel rooster, coupled with the support of Yao Zhixue, Song Chaoyu, Chen Zixiong and others, the group of Inferior Tribe finally collapsed!

With all their professionists killed, the remainder of this life’s tribe immediately scattered like birds and beasts, rushing out of the city and disappearing without a trace.

Short-staffed, Zheng Cheng and his party did not pursue them.

But they didn’t need to worry too much, as the wilderness of Radiation Island was teeming with various mutated wild beasts.

In terms of threat level, these beasts were even more dangerous than Zheng Cheng and his associates!

If these ordinary Inferior Tribe members were targeted by the mutant creatures out in the wild, they would undoubtedly die!

Li Yu excitedly said to Zheng Cheng, “Your amplifying skill is so strong, and it lasts for a long time, a full ten minutes!”

“It’s much stronger than our team’s priest, just that the skill name is a bit strange…”

Zheng Cheng casually replied, “I am a hidden professionist after all, so, how long has it been?”

“About ten minutes, why do you ask?”

“No big reason, it’s just that the weakness state of my skill is a bit serious.”

“Ah? How serious?”

Just as the words fell, the effective duration of the Adrenaline Excitement Technique had already ended.

Li Yu and the other three new professionists instantly fell to the ground like they were impotent, gasping for air.

“Damn… your weakness state is indeed quite serious, my legs are soft.”

“Let’s rest for a while, then move together?”

Zheng Cheng proposed, “The goal of all the professionists in Qinzhou Province is to destroy that Blood Guanyin, and I know where it is.”

“Really?”

Li Yu’s eyes lit up, “Alright, let’s move together!”

“I am a seven-star professionist, Overlord Fist Fighter, this is Zhang Yashan, a six-star professionist, Gale Swordsman.”

“Wang Changhe, a five-star professionist, Shield warrior.”

“Cui Hao, a five-star professionist, Deadly assassin.”

The four of them introduced themselves, and Zheng Cheng focused his gaze on the newbie named Cui Hao.

This was the first time he had met a Professionist Assassin — high offense, low defense, explosive power.

If an assassin is fully prepared, they could kill a professionist much stronger than themselves.

“Welcome.”

Zheng Cheng said, “Let’s rest for a while first, we’ll move later.”

“In order to destroy that Blood Guanyin, we have to gather most of our strength.”

“By the way, can you guys contact others?”

“We can.” Li Yu responded, “Before entering Radiation Island, our school gave each class captain a rescue charm.”

“If there’s any urgent matter, we can contact through the rescue charm.”

Zheng Cheng asked, “You’re from the Second Prep School…do you know Bai Jingqi?”

“Brother Qi?!”

Li Yu was surprised, “You know Brother Qi?”

“I do,” Zheng Cheng nodded, “Try to contact him and tell him I’m here too.”

“Alright.”

Saying that, Li Yu took out the rescue charm and began to make contact.

Meanwhile, Zheng Cheng returned to his team, looked at the slightly weak Chen Xiao and the coward and asked, “How are you guys feeling now?”

“Much better,” Chen Xiao said, “The more times I have to bear the Adrenaline Excitement Technique, the higher my resistance to its weakness state will be.”

“Perhaps in the future, I can always be in the state of Adrenaline Excitement Technique.”

“Aren’t you afraid of exploding and dying?”

Song Chaoyu gave him a look and then excitedly said to Zheng Cheng, “Zheng Cheng, I made it!”

“Made what?”

“I’ve formed the spirit beast of the Inferior Tribe!”

As he spoke, Song Chaoyu signaled, and a humanoid spirit beast slowly floated towards him.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a professionist of the Inferior Tribe with tendrils growing out of their butt!

It turns out that Song Chaoyu had been trying to form the spirit beast of the Inferior Tribe all the way here.

Unfortunately, only until now did he manage to succeed in forming one!

As for the normal tribe members’ spirit beasts, they weren’t of much use.

Zheng Cheng looked up and down at this humanoid spirit beast and asked curiously, “What abilities does it have?”

Song Chaoyu said, “I’m not quite sure of its profession, it seems to be some kind of melee. After transforming into a spirit beast, it retained some of its energy from when it was alive.”

“Let it show you…”

As he spoke, the humanoid spirit beast suddenly made a move.

Its figure rushed forward, and the tendrils on its back swelled dramatically, turning into three slender blades and slashing towards the front.

There were three clear marks on the ground, each several centimeters deep.

The spirit beast looked just like a giant humanoid scorpion!

“Not bad power. If we have many of them, it can be a killing move!”

Zheng Cheng asked, “By the way, how much spirit does it consume?”

“10 points!”

Song Chaoyu grimaced, “It needs more than the Python Spirit Beast. If I hadn’t leveled up twice, I really wouldn’t have wanted to form it.”

“What level are you all at now?”

“LV14.”

Yao Zhixue said: “LV15!”

Several of them reported their levels, and it was then that Zheng Cheng realized that everyone’s level had been upgraded.

Chen Xiao, Chen Zixiong, and Lin Jianyue were all LV12, while the noob was LV13.

As for himself, he had the highest level among them all, being a solid LV16!

Besides that, his Tetanus Blade had also been upgraded to LV3, and the first feature had been awakened!

[Your skill Tetanus Blade has been upgraded to LV3!]

[Tetanus Blade (Ext/LV3): Change Ability, must equip a weapon (knives, swords, axes, daggers, lances, bow and arrows, etc.) for use. Any of your physical attacks have a chance (30%) to infect the target with tetanus.]

[When the target is infected with Tetanus, short-term symptoms such as muscle spasms and convulsions can be caused. Also, it can cause dizziness, headaches, reflex augmentation, hallucinations, speech and behavior disorders.]

[You have activated the first feature of Tetanus Blade!]

[Feature 1: Permanent Damage. Your Tetanus Blade can permanently damage a target’s constitution, physical resistance, and defense, decreasing the target’s overall defense by 10%, and the subsequent eruption rate always increases by 10% when they are hit by the Tetanus Blade again.]

“Permanent Damage?”

Zheng Cheng exclaimed in surprise, the ability not only damaged the target’s physical resistance but also made Tetanus Blade more effective against the same target a second time!

“This feature effect seems like… increased damage? Permanent reduction in resistance?”

“This is a melee god technique!”

At this time, Li Yu also came over: “Zheng Cheng, I contacted Bai Jingqi, they are in a place called Jiuhu City. Apart from them, there are also many other professionists who have teamed up together.”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, “It seems there are quite a few bright people among the newcomers. Only by uniting can we accomplish this task!”

“Let’s go, we’ll meet up with Bai Jingqi and the others.”

“Do you know where Jiuhu City is?”

“I have a map,” Zheng Cheng said. “Let’s clean up the battlefield first. Collect all of the Inferior Tribe’s left ears.”

Zheng Cheng called over Chen Zixiong and Yang Lie to start collecting war spoils, and he took the opportunity to continue dissecting the bodies of the Inferior Tribe professionists.

He managed to get another three Inferior Tribe tentacles and two Inferior Tribe brains!

After 12 people tidied up a bit, they soon set off again on the road to Jiuhu City.

Along the way, they were constantly attacked by large numbers of Inferior Tribe members and professionists.

However, with the concerted efforts of everyone, they all managed to get through without any real danger.

The number of people in their team was visibly soaring. Five days later, when they approached Jiuhu City, their team had already grown to over a hundred people!

Out of these, over eighty were melee professionists of different star ratings!

Only a little over thirty were mental side and long-range attack professionists.

According to the new professionists they met along the way, every time they were besieged by the Inferior Tribe, there were professionists from the Inferior Tribe who took the opportunity to attack the mental side and long-range attack professionists.

The reason was simple. These professionists had the lowest defense and were also the weakest in close combat.

If they were cornered by an Inferior Tribe professionist, they would either die or be crippled!

Countless new professionists, under the relentless siege and killing of the Inferior Tribe, kept tearing teleportation charms to teleport out.

Among those that Zheng Cheng knew, Zhang Yashan and Cui Hao had both reluctantly teleported out.

There were even quite a few people who died directly because they used their teleportation charms too slowly or for other reasons!

Correspondingly, the number of ordinary Inferior Tribe members who died at their hands was over five thousand!

Even the Inferior Tribe’s melee professionists had over 100 members who died at their hands.

Zheng Cheng now had 25 Inferior Tribe tentacles and 13 Inferior Tribe brains in his possession!

Along the way, the constant battles, especially the surge in the number of melee professionists, led to Zheng Cheng’s Adrenaline Excitement Technique reaching a proficiency of LV2.

If he experienced a few more major battles, he would be able to upgrade it to LV3.

At that time, he would be able to awaken another feature!

When they approached Jiuhu City, the number of Inferior Tribe members around them visibly decreased.

In the wild wasteland, a mass of Inferior Tribe corpses appeared.

Many mutant radioactive beasts appeared in droves around them, gobbling up the Inferior Tribe corpses on the ground.

When they saw Zheng Cheng and the others approaching, they just lifted their blood-red eyes and stared at them for a while before lowering their heads and continuing to eat the Inferior Tribe corpses.

Many people were taken aback by this and immediately lowered their heads.

The radioactive mutant beasts also had intelligence, and they didn’t dare get closer when they found out there were so many humans.

“So many corpses!”

“What happened?”

“I heard that many classmates have gathered in Jiuhu City…”

“I’ve heard about it too. Qin Zheng from the first school, Bai Jingqi and Hao Zhao from the second school, Li Mei and Yang Haoran from the third school, and Zhu Chengyu from the military academy, they’re all here.”

“Damn! Is this like a meeting of dukes? Do we need to choose a leader?”

“Actually, there is going to be a selection for a leader, they said it’s for unified command…”

Hearing the discussions around him, Zheng Cheng was a little dumbfounded.

Is this really the time for them to be fighting over the position of leader?

In his opinion, the longer Bai Jingqi, Qin Zheng, and the others stayed here, the more attention they’d draw from the Inferior Tribe.

Maybe the Inferior Tribe has already noticed this place and is planning to get all the new professionists of Qinzhou, Xia Country, Blue Star in one fell swoop!

Bai Jingqi is belligerent, Qin Zheng is impulsive, but Li Zhen is a clever person. How could he let these people stay here for so long?

Could it be that there have been unexpected occurrences?

“Someone’s coming!”

“Everyone stop, someone’s coming!”

The person came riding a machine similar to a motorcycle and quickly approached them.

“Are you professionists from Qinzhou? Which school do you come from? Who’s the leader?”
