Long Mian finally showed his worth. He looked up at Tang Shi arrogantly, feeling very proud.
Tang Shi smiled and praised: "It's good, so we can fight side by side."
Long Mian simply told Tang Shi, "I can also help. Stop calling me a burden."
"Okay, okay, thanks to you this time, great!" Tang Shi coaxed him while cleaning up the battlefield, picking up the Yuan Energy Crystal before the next wave of poisonous spiders came over.
"Don't talk to me in such a stupid tone, I'm not a child anymore!" Long Mian told Tang Shi with a dark face and a serious face.
"Why do you want me to hold you if you're not a child?"
"It's you who wants to hug me, not me who wants you to! You understand!"
"Hey, you naughty kid, don't think that I want to hug you. If I weren't afraid that you would be dragged away by the poisonous spider man, I wouldn't bother to care about you!"
While the two were bickering, Yan Xu had already picked up all the Yuan Neng Crystals and told them to leave here quickly.
The way back is not short. At their speed, it will probably take a long time to get back to the safe zone.
They set off during the day, find a safer place to spend the night, and continue after dawn.
It took them five days to reach the edge of the old city. Now the three of them were more embarrassed than beggars. Their clothes were in tatters, their hair was unkempt, and they were covered in blood. They looked very scary. They were chased by a wave of poisonous spider people and rushed towards them. Here we encountered another intercepting poisonous spider man. The two waves together amounted to fifty or sixty.
The mechanical baby dragon flew in the air and kept spitting fire downwards.
Yanxu couldn't help but retreat while protecting Tang Shi, until he retreated to the building on the roadside, and then he suddenly grasped the Ice-Fire Demonic Heart Sword with both hands.
The ice-based Demonic Heart Sword and the fire-based Demonic Heart Sword appeared as phantoms. Yanxu held the ice-based Demonic Heart Sword in his left hand and the fire-based Demonic Heart Sword in his right hand. He actually held the two phantom Demonic Heart Swords in his hands respectively. , the physical Demonic Heart Sword disappears.
Ice and fire spread from the Shadow Sword to Yanxu's two arms.
The left arm was burning with red flames, and the heat was overwhelming; the right arm was covered with blue ice spirit, and the cold was overwhelming.
Yanxu swung the fire demon heart sword with all his strength and used elemental attacks. The poisonous spider people surrounding him were suddenly enveloped and burned by an arc-shaped wall of fire. In just an instant, they were killed and injured.
Yanxu didn't stop, he jumped out, and swung the Ice Devil Heart Sword towards the poisonous spider man behind him. Ice crystals formed wherever the sword energy passed, freezing the poisonous spider man who rushed towards him.
After two blows, the physical Ice-Fire Demonic Heart Sword appeared again, and the flames and ice crystals on Yanxu's arms disappeared, leaving most of the poisonous spiders dead and injured.
After using up the twice daily elemental attacks, Yanxu could only charge forward and continue to slash with his sword.
Tang Shi put Long Mian on the ground and asked the mechanical dragon to stay and protect him. He also went over to help, and a scuffle broke out again.
After a fierce melee, Tang Shi returned to Long Mian while the mechanical dragon was stuck, and slashed the poisonous spider man who rushed towards him.
With a pretty face, Long Mian summoned the mechanical dragon again. His energy was only enough to summon this last time. In order to let Tang Shi fight freely without worrying about him, he had no choice but to fight.
Tang Shi saw the mechanical baby dragon appear again, and rushed out like a sharp sword, engaging in a melee with the poisonous spider man.
After these poisonous spiders were finally dealt with, the three of them were exhausted and paralyzed. Yanxu's elemental attacks consumed a lot of energy.
Long Mian had simply exhausted his energy. There was no way he could summon any more mechanical dragons today.
Tang Shi and Yanxu had no time to rest and began to clean up the battlefield.
They came all the way and picked up a lot of energy crystals. As long as they could get them, they didn't let any one go.
Near the edge of the old city, there were not only poisonous spider people, but also many poisonous corpse people. They also encountered a tribe of three-eyed monsters. Now that they encountered the three-eyed monster, they definitely came to deliver food to them. Yuan Nengjing, of course they will not accept it politely.
Among these alien races, the most dangerous ones are not the ghost spiders, but the Zerg. However, the ghost spiders are the most harmful, and countless humans have been injured and infected by them.
Zerg will not infect, but will parasitize. After humans are parasitized by Zerg, they will become "worm people".
Insects are very powerful, and their force value is definitely higher than that of poisonous spiders. They will be armed with the hard insect armor of the Zerg, which has extremely high defense. They will also have the unique insect blade of the Zerg, and the hardness will even exceed 1 point. Even now Many human weapons do not have a hardness of 1 point, so they will never have any advantage in a war with the insectoids.
These are still unevolved bugs. Most of them are at level one and level two. If you encounter an evolved bug, it will definitely be very difficult to deal with. Even if Tang Shi is now a fourth-level awakener, one person cannot deal with more than two at the same time. Only evolve bugs.
Thankfully, not all Zerg have the ability to be parasitic.
When Tang Shi and the others were about to leave the old city, they encountered three insect men standing on the damaged building, staring at them eagerly.
Looking at their appearance, Tang Shi deduced that they might be second-level insect-men, which were lower-level insect-men.
They still retain the human form, with explosive legs like the beasts, their feet are claw-like, and their fingers have completely turned into black claws. Six sharp bone spurs protrude from their backs, and their skulls protrude high towards the back. His hair has completely fallen out, and his bare skull is covered with hard black bone spurs.
The biggest change was the mouth. It no longer had human features. It stretched forward like an animal's mouth. The corners of the mouth were split to the base of the ears. The edges were covered with sharp teeth. One look at it showed that the bite force was absolutely amazing.
The insect man's body is covered with gray-brown wrinkled skin, which greatly improves his defense. Ordinary weapons cannot break through this hard and elastic skin.
Yanxu and Long Mian both saw this kind of creature for the first time.
Yanxu frowned, while Long Mian shrank into Tang Shi's arms. He could feel that the power of these insect-men was definitely not comparable to that of the poisonous spider-men.
"What should we do? Fight or flee?" Yanxu couldn't figure out the strength of these insect-men for a while, and he didn't know whether to fight or flee.
"You can't escape. This type of insect only has level two. They are generally short in stature, like ants and spiders scurrying around. Their jumping power and moving speed are amazing. If you compete with them in speed, you will definitely be overtaken."
Tang Shi put Long Mian on the ground and said: "Stand here honestly and don't summon the mechanical dragons. If you don't attack them actively, they won't attack you for a while."
Tang Shi took out the combat blade and materialized it.
Yanxu held the Ice-Fire Demonic Heart Sword and stepped forward with Tang Shi.
The insect man was on all fours on the ground, squatting on the damaged wall like a hunting dog, ready to attack. When he saw the prey approaching, he hissed at them like a demonstration. The insect's mouth opened and split into three parts like a bite device. Flaps, sharp-toothed insect teeth, which make people’s hair stand on end.
Tang Shi took a few steps forward with the combat blade. Suddenly he dashed forward and swung his sword in front of the three insect men. The sword missed them!
Such a rapid attack would have killed or seriously injured any other second-level creature, but these three insect men jumped away very quickly, very fast.
After an insect man jumped away, he landed on the ground with all four claws. Without pausing, he jumped again and rushed towards Yanxu, who swung his sword and slashed.
"Clang!"
The insect man's sharp claws actually blocked the incoming Ice Fire Demonic Heart Sword!
"Attack the head! The brain is the insect man's weak point!"
The other two bug-men jumped away, kicking their claws on the vertical wall, using their strength to shoot towards Tang Shi like two cannonballs.
Tang Shi twisted his body to avoid one insect man, but the other one was punched out by him. With the help of the power of the Storm Warrior's right wrist guard, this punch was definitely not light.
The insect man was blasted sideways, collapsing the already damaged wall on the side of the road.
"Boom!"
The wall collapsed, directly burying the insect man.
Tang Shi knew that the wall alone could never kill this second-level insect man.
The ghost card pack appeared in front of Tang Shi. Tang Shi clicked on the card pack, pulled out a minion card, and released the Iron-maned Grizzly Bear.
By enslaving the Ironmane Grizzly, Tang Shi can get 0.2 points of strength blessing from the Ironmane Grizzly, which will make him stronger.
Tang Shi commanded the grizzly bear to deal with the insect man.
The iron-maned grizzly bear howled and rushed towards the bug-man buried in the ruins.
The Iron-maned Grizzly Bear was only level 0. Of course, Tang Shi didn't expect the Iron-maned Grizzly Bear to kill the insect man. He just wanted the Iron-maned Grizzly Bear to restrain the insect man. After he had dealt with the one in front of him, he could go Fix that one.
The insect-man's fierce attack failed, and it pounced again. Tang Shi did not dodge, but took the initiative to kill the insect-man. The combat blade drew a silver crescent in the air, and slashed towards the insect-man's neck, but was used by the insect-man. Both claws blocked it.
"Clang!"
The blade and the insect claw collided and sparks were produced, making a tooth-piercing friction sound.
That was the sound of Tang Shi forcibly withdrawing the combat blade held by the insect man. While pulling out the combat blade, Tang Shi kicked out, hitting the insect man in the chest, and the insect man flew backwards.
Tang Shi wasted no time and immediately launched the Shadow Step. Two groups of red lights appeared around his feet, and the figure left the place instantly, leaving only two red lights.
Before the insect man's tendency to fly away was eliminated, Tang Shi had already caught up with him and swung his sword again.
The combat blade sank into the insect man's hard skin and neck muscles. Tang Shi's hands suddenly exerted force and directly cut off the insect man's head.
This series of attacks almost lasted only a moment. Long Mian, who was standing aside and watching, only saw Tang Shi's figure moving around very quickly, and the terrifying insect man was eliminated in less than a minute.
At this time, Yanxu also pierced the insect man's high and convex head with his sword. Looking back, Tang Shi's movements were actually faster than him.
The two quickly attacked the last insect man. The iron-maned grizzly bear was no match for the insect man. It already had many wounds on its body, all of which were scratched open by the insect man's sharp claws.
The two of them dealt with the insect man together, and the battle was quickly over.
"Who did you learn to fight in close quarters from? The movements are clean and neat, not fancy at all, and very practical." Yanxu praised.
Tang Shi laughed, "I don't dare to accept the praise from Major Yan."
Of course, these killing moves are all based on the combat experience of Tang Shi himself in the previous life. They are all real enemy-killing moves, not just fancy tricks.
After collecting the energy crystals from the three insectoids, the three of them quickly left the old city without stopping. It was getting very late, so they decided to find a place to stay and wait until tomorrow to set off again.
After leaving the old city, the danger outside will be much reduced. All we need to do is find a car and drive back tomorrow.
The three of them separated the Yuan Energy Crystals harvested today and divided them according to the ratio of high and low levels. The Yuan Energy Crystals they collected were all eaten that night to prevent the Yuan Energy in the Yuan Energy Crystals from continuing to escape.
Along the way, they lost count of how many aliens they killed. Only the Yuan Energy Crystals proved their results.
That night, the three of them were promoted to a level again.
Long Mian was at the lowest level and needed relatively few energy crystals. He had been promoted once two days ago, and this time he was promoted to level 2.
It was very easy for Long Mian to advance. There was no obstacle at all. As long as he had enough energy, he could easily advance. This made Tang Shi very envious.
When Tang Shi advanced to level 5, he was in danger and almost failed. It was Yanxu who gave him a few of his Yuan Neng crystals that allowed Tang Shi to break through the difficulty of level 5 in one fell swoop.
Yanxu also successfully upgraded that night and became a level 4 awakener.
But it's a pity that although the three of them have improved their levels, none of them got the life card. This is really bad luck.
Long Mian is now a level 2 awakener, but the heavenly seal runes on his face are still there.
He will return to the safe zone tomorrow, and Long Mian will be very eye-catching like this, so Tang Shi asked him to try to hide the heavenly seal runes.
