"Then..." Lun Xi raised his head and stared blankly at the light blue sky, "I should... go home."
"and then?"
Lunxi lowered his head and stopped talking.
Qi Ji smiled softly and turned to look at her: "Are you really... ready?"
The silent silence lasted for a long time before Lunxi looked up at Qi Ji and met her mysterious gaze, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
Chapter 79 The last hope?
In the dense mountain forest, a fully armed team is marching slowly forward with steady steps.
"It was so dangerous just now. The claw almost touched my face!" someone whispered in shock.
The people around him echoed:
"Yeah, if the boss hadn't reacted in time, everyone on our side would have been in trouble."
"This is really strange. We have only walked less than a kilometer and such an aggressive alien species has appeared."
"It's been a very rough time recently..."
Pollut, who was walking in the front, was holding a big knife, and half of his body was stained with purple-black blood. The blood flowed down his arms onto the blade, and then dripped from the tip, looking a little scary.
"A C-rank alien species, the 'One-horned Demon Wolf', has an attack power equivalent to that of a peak-level Tempered Warrior, but has extraordinary speed and agility, and first-rate stealth ability. If you're not prepared, one of them is enough to wipe out a regular team of four or five Tempered Warriors. It's extremely dangerous..."
He recalled the relevant knowledge in his mind, holding a huge wolf head in one hand. A sharp spike as long as his forearm extended from the center of the wolf head's eyebrows.
"It usually lives in the deep forest of the East Territory... but it attacked us just after we entered the mountain. Tsk... this is really strange."
"Ok?"
He suddenly stopped, raised his right hand holding the knife, and signaled the team members behind him to pay attention.
The team members kept silent tacitly, prepared their weapons, and paid close attention to the movements around them.
"rustle……"
It was the sound of something agile moving quickly through the vegetation!
"Be careful, they are aliens," said Pollut, looking serious. He threw down the wolf head in his left hand, "There are a lot of them... They are coming!"
Polyt roared loudly, and at the same time, the bushes on the left shook violently, and a huge dark brown shadow jumped out from it!
"It's a giant cockroach!"
"By the grace of God, this is a B-class alien!"
The commotion in the team lasted only a moment, and soon everyone regained their composure with their senior professionalism.
The attacking creature was a giant insect that looked like a cockroach, over three meters long, with two slender tentacles swaying silently, and a pair of sharp mouthparts under the front of its head.
As soon as it appeared, it rushed straight to the left wing of the team and took out a teammate holding a chain hammer.
"boom!--"
The man reacted in time, turned around and held the handle of the chain hammer against his chest, avoiding being hit directly by the giant cockroach.
"Uh-huh!"
But the thunderous force of the impact still easily knocked him away, and he fell five or six meters away.
"Beast! Look at me!"
Several teammates immediately jumped in front of the giant cockroach, swaying around while shouting.
As expected, the giant cockroach was attracted by them. It did not chase after the hammerman who was hit and had stars in his eyes and could not stand up. Instead, it pounced on the two teammates.
"Boom!"
The thick, thorny legs had just begun to move when the cockroach's head suddenly dropped and slid into the ground like an ostrich!
Poluto put away his fist, picked up the sword with his other hand and chopped at the gap in the cockroach's shell:
"Leave this one to me! You guys focus on the others!"
As soon as the voice fell, the vegetation in the other direction shook again, and several figures flew out immediately -
"Help! Help!"
"Uncles, please save me!"
Who knew it wasn't a giant cockroach, but two burly men!
They were covered in blood, their skin was covered with scars, and their clothes were torn into rags. It was obvious that they had just been involved in a fierce battle not long ago... or perhaps a one-sided massacre.
"You are... Never mind, get behind us!"
The team members were stunned, but they didn't have time to think about it. They hurriedly asked the two men to get out of the way so as not to affect the subsequent battle.
A few seconds after the two men appeared, the bush exploded, and two ferocious giant cockroaches pounced towards the crowd with great momentum!
"Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Several team members who were in the path of the giant cockroach jumped out of the way, and the giant cockroach missed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when they passed through the crowd, the players on both sides attacked at the same time, pinching the cockroaches from the side!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Accompanied by a series of dull sounds from being hit by hard objects, cracks appeared on the brown-black shell of the giant cockroach.
But this was obviously not enough to cause enough damage to affect their movements. The giant cockroach twisted its body, threw the team members away, and then waved its legs and mouthparts to fight with them.
On the other side, Pollut had already cut off the head of the first giant cockroach.
However, this monster has surprisingly strong vitality. Even if it has lost its head, its limbs and body are still twitching wildly, and the slightest scratch will cause it to be shattered into pieces.
Polyt moved nimbly around it, swinging his sword to cut its restless limbs, intending to remove its ability to attack.
The two sides are fighting each other, each has its own strengths and weaknesses - this will definitely be a long-lasting war of attrition!
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
The shadows of the trees swayed, and five huge brown and black shadows quietly appeared, with their ferocious mouthparts shocking to the eye.
Giant cockroach!
Five more giant cockroaches joined the battle, completely breaking the delicate balance between the two sides.
"Damn it! Why are there so many?!"
"It's over..."
Pollut had just dismembered the first giant cockroach and was about to jump to the team's side for support, but when he saw this, a look of despair appeared on his face.
Seven giant cockroaches, this is something their team cannot handle at all.
As a righteous warrior, if he really wanted to escape, he might still be able to get away.
But these good brothers who are close to him, I'm afraid...
However, even if he fought desperately, it would not be able to change the outcome. Not only that, he would also lose his own life.
Want to escape?
Or will we die together with our brothers who have been through thick and thin together?
"hateful!"
Polut's fists were clenched until they bled, and he felt very confused.
"I'm still too weak..." He suddenly laughed bitterly, and for some reason he thought of Qi Ji. "If it was Miss Sharon, it would be effortless to resolve this situation... Um, wait!"
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a seemingly ordinary pebble.
"...I added some ingredients to this stone. If you crush it, it will take effect. If you encounter a dangerous situation that you cannot handle, you can try it..."
Qi Ji's clear and calm voice appeared in his mind.
To be honest, Polyus was skeptical about the magic of this stone.
It wasn't that he didn't want to trust Qi Ji. In fact, Qi Ji was the most powerful transcendent he had ever seen. It was simply amazing that he could kill a warrior at the peak of righteousness with a single strike from a distance.
He had already assumed that Miss Sharon was a rare hermit magician.
But enchanting stones at will... is still too unbelievable.
He knew about enchantment. There were wizards who specialized in this job, and "enchanters" were quite popular in big cities.
But before enchantment, very thorough and complex preparations are required, and the object of enchantment is also very particular. It must be a precision carrier that has been specially processed, and it is best mixed with spiritual materials with good compatibility.
Just pick up a stone and finish it in a few seconds - how can it be so simple? It's impossible, not even for a magician.
The reason why Bolut was so sure was because he had talked with those wizard adventurers who had been to big cities and seen the world, and they said firmly:
That kind of thing violates the basic principles of magic. Even a "metallurgist" whose realm is above that of a magician must make certain preparations before performing enchantment operations.
Only a child who has only read heroic novels and has unrealistic fantasies about the strong would be so naive.
Therefore, even if this "little gift" that Miss Sharon gave to him is useful, it is probably just an effect that is almost like magic. Can it really reverse the current desperate situation?
"Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"
One team member was knocked away by a giant cockroach, but this time no one was willing to hate him because everyone else was in trouble.
So, the giant cockroach rushed straight towards him and was about to crush him in the next second!
Seeing that his brother was about to die, Pollut knew there was no time to hesitate, and immediately grasped the stone in his palm and squeezed it hard!
"Click!"
Chapter 80 Withering
The body of a mindful warrior has surpassed that of a human, and his grip strength is comparable to that of a vise, so even a stone the size of a finger will immediately crack.
"Click!"
With a crisp bang, the stone shattered in Polyt's palm.
At the moment it burst, Polut felt an invisible force sprouting from the stone, spreading at an extremely fast speed, covering an area of dozens of meters in a blink of an eye.
When it stopped spreading, it evaporated and nothing happened.
Nothing around me changed.
"What's the use of this?"
Poluto was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't realize what effect that power had.
"Sure enough, we still can't be too naive..."
The last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered. He smiled bitterly, let go of the debris and let them fly away in the wind. He gripped the sword tightly and made up his mind to jump into the seven giant cockroaches that were about to kill.
"Um?!"
At this moment, he suddenly realized that something was...wrong.
The giant cockroaches were still charging forward, but their condition was clearly abnormal.
Their foot joints did not move, but they lay backwards with their abdomens pressed against the ground, and their bodies were in a gliding posture.
These giant cockroaches didn't move at all!
They are just sliding on the ground due to their previous inertia!
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the momentum was wiped out by the resistance, and the seven giant cockroaches lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.
"What, what's wrong?"
The team members were all stunned. How come the monsters that were so ferocious just a second ago suddenly collapsed?
The huge pressure of life and death suddenly dissipated. They looked at each other in confusion, but did not dare to be happy too soon.
Who knows if this is some kind of habit of the giant cockroach, such as pretending to be dead to attract prey to come closer, and then suddenly attacking when the prey is not prepared?
"Hey, look around! Look!" someone shouted in surprise.
As soon as he shouted, there was a loud crashing sound above his head.
"These are... leaves? Weird, why are there so many leaves falling in summer?"
As soon as everyone looked up, they were hit in the face by the overwhelming fallen leaves.
