Chapter 414 The Advantage Lies With Me
The giant rat that came to help bit through empty air, its grayish-white body carving a large crater in the cracked earth.
It quickly raised its head, its beady eyes fixed on Lin Zhennan as he rolled away, and let out a low hiss.
The strange creature that had been severely injured by Lin Zhennan could barely move.
However, his vigorous vitality allowed him to persevere and not yet die.
Seizing the opportunity, Ivan slammed into the giant rat like a moving iron wall, delivering the final blow.
Ivan's offensive power is indeed negligible, but that's only relative to his defense.
The giant rat, already at its limit, naturally could not withstand Ivan's charged attack and immediately turned into fragments, disappearing into the wilderness, leaving only a fragment of armor behind.
Now, it's two against one, the advantage is on my side.
Seeing its companion die, another giant rat's beady eyes flashed with an almost human-like fear.
Instead of continuing its attack, it suddenly changed direction, its four short legs frantically digging at the ground, its grayish-white body quickly burrowing into the earth.
"Trying to run away?" Lin Zhennan wasn't about to give him that chance.
He twirled the longsword in his hand, tip pointing downwards, and leaped several meters into the air. Using the momentum of his fall, he plunged the longsword deep into the spot where the giant rat was burrowing.
laugh--
The sword sank into the soil, but there was no real feeling of hitting the target.
The giant rat had burrowed deep into the ground, leaving only a dark hole that looked like a mocking eye.
"Damn it." Lin Zhennan cursed, drawing his longsword. The blade was covered in wet mud, but there wasn't a single drop of the strange bodily fluid.
They really didn't have many ways to keep people from burrowing into the ground.
However, Xu Si, now in Nirvana, pointed his finger.
A dark red dot of light shot out from his fingertip and precisely disappeared into the dark hole.
Seiya.
After advancing to Sequence 6, this most basic attack characteristic has become completely different.
The light arrow is no longer a simple condensation of energy, but carries a trace of the primordial aura of the star core, tracking, penetrating, and exploding in one go.
A muffled rumble then came from underground.
The ground shook violently, as if something had exploded underground.
New cracks appeared on the parched earth, spreading outwards from the cave entrance like a giant spider web.
Then, a giant rat, its body charred black, burst out of the ground dozens of meters away, screamed, rolled twice, kicked its four short legs weakly a few times, and then went completely still.
The notification of purification points being credited flashed through my mind; the number wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
Ivan glanced back at Xu Si on the roof of the car, grinned, and gave him a thumbs up.
Lin Zhennan walked over, squatted down, and searched through the broken soil for a while before pulling out a grayish-white, hard fragment of shell.
These two items are about 80% similar.
Maybe these two guys really are twins.
"The fourth one, right?" He weighed the fragment in his hand and waved it in the direction of Fu Xiaojian.
Fu Xiaojian stood beside the Mengshi vehicle, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
Four strange items dropped in just one morning.
This efficiency was much higher than he had expected.
If things continue like this, not to mention the enhancement potions, the strange drops I owe Xu Si will probably be paid off within a few days.
"Back to base, continue forward." His voice came through the walkie-talkie, tinged with satisfaction.
Ivan and Lin Zhennan walked back to the camp one after the other, both of them bearing injuries. Ivan's entire body was covered in fine wounds, likely remnants of the giant rat's claws.
Lin Zhennan's left arm was swept by the giant rat's tail, and his entire sleeve was torn off, revealing a purplish-blue bruise underneath.
However, these were all minor injuries; the two of them protected the vital organs better than anyone else.
Jiao Jiao landed two recovery shots, and both of them were basically fine.
The convoy continued on, but at a very slow pace.
The blood-red sun moved from the east to overhead.
Today, the team listened carefully to the report from the Guangming team. Two teams have joined them in just one day, and they will begin the cleanup process in about ten days.
The target of the cleanup was a relatively well-preserved city.
They also plan to continue human civilization in this city.
That is, to establish corresponding shelters.
The others didn't seem to care.
Since the apocalypse, the boundaries between cities and wilderness have almost disappeared, since both places are deserted.
If you use the city as a shelter, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
This broke the conventional thinking of the salary train team.
They had always planned to establish a base in the wilderness, but now they realize that a city might not be a bad option either.
As long as there are no life-threatening monsters in the city, it might actually be worth a shot.
Even with life-threatening and bizarre species, DouDou is not one to be trifled with.
From this perspective, the Xinhuo train fleet even has an inherent advantage in entering the city.
However, expecting them to get there within ten days is a pipe dream.
Even if the caravan abandoned hunting and traveled day and night, it would probably be difficult to catch up.
Moreover, the price to be paid is probably unimaginable.
After much deliberation, Fu Xiaojian decided to proceed according to the original plan.
Over the next two days, Nirvana's announcements rang out several times in the intercom system.
There were energy fluctuations and strange things approaching, but most of them were low-level strange things at level one or two.
Even without Sequence 3's intervention, Yang Fan, Liang Hong, Xiao Wu, Li Miao, and others easily handled the task.
The strangely dropped loot did not increase further.
The drop rate at low-level locations is ridiculously low; I killed seven or eight monsters and didn't get a single thing.
However, Yang Fan naturally broke through to Sequence 2 - Ruishi.
Li Miao was also on the verge of a breakthrough; his illusion magic had an unexpectedly miraculous effect on these low-level monsters.
The control over the scene was simply unprecedented.
In general, Li Miao controls the scene and induces hallucinations, while Yang Fan and Xiao Wu launch a fierce attack.
Xiao Wu in his human-tiger form is completely transformed; his previously kind and easily bullied demeanor is gradually changing.
The aura of a beast king gradually emerges as his strength increases.
In terms of potential, Xu Si felt that Xiao Wu's potential was no less than Yang Fan's, and perhaps even much higher.
After all, Yang Fan's martial prowess relied heavily on his spear, while Xiao Wu relied entirely on his physical strength.
In the long run, Xiao Wu, who focuses on improving his physical strength, may have the upper hand.
I was busy all afternoon, until the sun was about to set.
Xiao Wu and Yang Fan worked together to defeat a second-tier bull demon before they finally obtained another strange bull horn-shaped item.
However, this strangely dropped item still belongs to the public.
Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed, so he went to Xu Si to explain the situation: "Brother Dao, I'll repay you for the strange drop I owe you as soon as possible!"
"You've made rapid progress," Xu Si rarely commented.
Xiao Wu paused for a moment, then grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
In those eyes, the inferiority and timidity of the past are gradually fading away, replaced by a budding confidence belonging to a top predator.
However, he would never forget Xu Si's kindness.
