His entire body, except for his face, from his chin downwards, was covered with dense dragon scale-like marks, making him look as if he was covered in scales.
Killer move - turn into golden scales.
This is a defensive skill among the five killer moves of Hidden Dragon Style. When used, the strength will be integrated into the skin membrane. The special strength will cause dragon scale-like marks and patterns to appear on the skin, giving it extremely strong defensive capabilities.
This killing move can block all enemy attacks outside the membrane, allowing the membrane to bear all impacts.
Coupled with the high-speed rotating body, it can directly deflect and dissolve attacks that touch its body. This is the ultimate defense and is extremely exquisite.
Xue Jing, who had figured out this killer move, took the cockroach monster's thrust head-on and avoided ending up like Duan Kaiping, who was smashed into a pool of minced meat.
However, even though he caught it, Xue Jing didn't feel good.
The cockroach monster's thrust was so powerful that he felt as if his skin all over his body had been torn apart and was in excruciating pain.
He just stepped lightly on the ground, and just like stomping his feet suddenly after his feet became numb, an intense and stimulating pain spread from the soles of his feet upwards, covering Xue Jing's skin all over his body.
"Hiss—" He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Xue Jing turned his head and looked towards the playground.
He saw Void Blade and Mandrill, as well as two others whom he didn't recognize but who should also be from the White Crow.
One of the antennae on the top of the cockroach monster's head was broken, and there were some friction scratches on its exoskeleton, but it didn't look serious. It was staring at the two men walking towards it.
Xue Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the reinforcements.
If the fight continued, he probably wouldn't be a match for this cockroach monster.
Xu Ren, who was not far away, took a few steps towards him and took out a small black box from the small bag tied to his thigh.
She opened the box and found two rows of eight small grooves inside. Three of the grooves were empty, and the other five contained black and white capsules.
Xu Ren stretched out his bare hand, took out one and handed it to Xue Jing.
"This is a painkiller. It works quickly and has no side effects."
Xue Jing glanced at her, paused, reached out to take the pill, but did not swallow it, just held it in his palm.
He said, "Be careful, that thing is very fast. I can't help you for now."
Seeing that he didn't take the medicine, Xu Ren didn't care. He closed the box in his hand as usual, put it in his bag, and said softly:
"Don't worry, just watch."
As soon as he finished speaking, changes occurred on the scene.
Unlike the wildness when fighting with Xue Jing before, the mandrill looked very serious.
He was wearing tactical clothing. He swung the short stick in his hand and faced the cockroach monster head-on.
The petite short-haired woman not far away was watching everything on the field, with data flowing through her eyes. She put her right hand behind her ear and whispered, "Here it comes."
"call out!"
The cockroach monster lunged and rushed towards the mandrill.
But just before it could act, the mandrill actually turned sideways and hit the air with the short stick in its hand.
The air around the short stick spread outward like ripples on the water, passing right under the belly of the cockroach monster that was rushing over.
Although it didn't hit the target, the cockroach monster that landed dozens of meters away suddenly vomited out two mouthfuls of dark green mucus.
"Quack—"
Its body was swaying and it staggered a few times, looking as if it couldn't stand steadily.
The long-haired man took a few steps forward, swung the black sword in his hand, and slashed at the cockroach monster.
"Squeak—"
The sharp blade collided with the exoskeleton, producing sparks. The long-haired man said in surprise:
"Huh?"
At this time, the four thin wings behind the cockroach monster spread out, flapped its wings and floated in the air, swaying, as if it wanted to leave here.
"Don't just cut it, idiot."
Xu Ren had flown above the cockroach monster without anyone noticing, and spoke calmly.
She circled in the air and dived down towards the cockroach monster.
On the way, she took out the sharp blades hanging all over her body at an extremely fast speed, suspended them beside her, and then passed by the cockroach monster.
As her sturdy body like a female leopard landed on the ground and crouched, all the sharp blades returned to their sheaths.
The cockroach behind her suddenly stopped moving.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka…”
After a while, its limbs, including six insect legs and four thin wings, fell off its body and scattered all over the ground.
All the incisions were extremely perfect, cut along the gaps between the torso exoskeleton and the limbs.
Xue Jing's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "How professional."
Just like a butcher cutting an ox, it was so smooth that the blade did not come into contact with the hard exoskeleton at all, and all the cuts were made on the weak connection points.
He sighed inwardly.
There is something about White Crow.
The cockroach monster that he had put so much effort into but failed to cause any significant damage was dealt with in just one round by Void Blade.
This is not just a question of strength, but also professional issues such as coordination, understanding, restraint, and equipment.
The cockroach monster, which had lost its wings and all its limbs, was lying on the ground, wriggling with its buttocks.
Dark green mucus kept oozing out of the wounds on his body.
Void Blade glanced at the cockroach monster and gave the command:
"Qiyu, help it stop bleeding, don't let it die. Maybe you can find the Tianxu Insect Mother with this thing."
Upon hearing this, the long-haired man codenamed Qiyu took a look at the disgusting appearance of the cockroach monster and immediately showed a very reluctant look, but under the expressionless gaze of Xu Ren, he could only nod his head in agreement dejectedly.
"Xiao Jing, write a mission report and apply to the higher-ups for a 'tracker'..."
The petite girl named Xiaojing nodded and reached out to take out a small laptop from the backpack behind her.
While the aftermath work was being carried out here, the mandrill walked up to Xue Jing.
He raised the short stick in his hand over his shoulder and said jokingly:
"Hey, genius, why do you look a little embarrassed?"
Xue Jing didn't care either, he just smiled and said, "You guys came pretty fast."
From the time he called Xu Ren till now, it was probably less than ten minutes.
"The captain immediately arranged for a helicopter after receiving the call. We flew here directly from the southern part of the city... This is considered slow. In a dangerous place like the border, a slow support would result in the group being wiped out."
The mandrill sighed.
Xue Jing's heart moved, and he asked, "Over in the South City District... did you get anything?"
The mandrill shook his head. "That unfinished building is very large. We have been searching for a long time, but we have only searched less than one-third of the area. We have not found anything yet."
Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "I have a new clue."
The mandrill's eyes lit up: "Oh? Tell me about it?"
At this time, Xu Ren had also arranged the aftermath and walked over.
She also heard Xue Jing's words, and asked while combing her short hair:
"What's the clue?"
Xue Jing recounted his encounter with Duan Kaiping from the Razor Gang.
"That man is a member of the Razor Gang in the South City, and a disciple of the Golden Wind Dojo... He actually appeared in Qing Attached Middle School, and was the first person to be killed by this cockroach. It's very strange."
Xu Ren thought thoughtfully, "You mean, you suspect that this thing was brought into the school by that person named Duan Kaiping?"
Xue Jing was not sure either: "Maybe... But I had some friction with Duan Kaiping before, and I can't rule out the possibility that he came to the school to cause trouble for me..."
…
Here, Xue Jing was talking to the White Crow team. The teachers and students who were watching from a distance breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the horrible monster had its limbs cut off and fell to the ground.
"It's horrible, that monster."
"Who are those people? They are so powerful. They killed the monster in just two moves!"
"Senior Xue knows them?"
"What a cool sister, she has a great figure..."
Schoolmate Lin Shiyu looked at Xue Jing, who was chatting and laughing with the White Crow team, from afar. A strong feeling swept over her body, that she and the other party were in two completely different worlds.
She looked bitter, shook her head, and finally gave up some unrealistic fantasies.
On the teacher's side, the elite class teacher Du Shiwei was standing with a wealthy middle-aged man in his fifties.
"Teacher Du, you have taught a good student." The wealthy middle-aged man looked at Xue Jing in the distance and said with a smile.
Du Shiwei was still in shock, but he quickly said, "It's all because of your good leadership that our affiliated high school can cultivate such good students."
Principal Tang Yanzhong waved his hand and said, "Oh, no need to say such compliments."
He took two steps, his eyes thoughtful, and said:
"This Xue classmate is so talented, he can actually take the 'martial arts exam' to enter an inner-ring university."
…
Weeping Feather, a long-haired man from the White Crow team, was holding a bandage and walking towards the cockroach monster crawling on the ground.
He looked at the cockroach monster with disgust and spat, "Disgusting thing."
But he had to obey the captain's order, so he could only suppress his nausea, squatted down, untied the bandage, and wrapped the cockroach monster in circles, like a mummy.
The cockroach monster's compound eyes looked at him dimly.
After roughly bandaging it, Qiyu shook off the dark green slime on his hands, stood up, turned around and shouted to the Void Blade:
"Captain, got it—"
His voice stopped abruptly.
Xue Jing and Xu Ren turned their heads and looked at him.
But Qi Yu was standing there in a daze, with disbelief written all over his face.
Xu Ren's expression changed drastically, and he said sternly: "Xiao Jing, get out of there!"
The petite girl who was sitting on the floor typing on her laptop keyboard stood up without hesitation and ran to the side upon hearing this.
“Swish—”
Qiyu's entire body was like a piece of paper that was forcibly torn into two halves from the middle, with blood and internal organs all over the ground.
This result was caused by two insect legs covered with barbs.
The mandrill's pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief: "Super-speed regeneration?"
"No, it's shedding, damn it!"
He looked behind Qiyu's body and saw a cockroach monster that was even bigger than the previous one standing there, covered in blood.
And on the ground, there was a cockroach 'shell' wrapped in bandages!
After shedding its skin, the cockroach monster turned milky white all over. Not only did its limbs and thin wings grow back, but its body became even larger.
Its new milky white exoskeleton was turning darker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Quack—"
“Ahhh!!”
When the teachers and students who were watching saw this scene, they were so frightened that they ran outside again.
The newly born cockroach monster spread out its four thin wings behind it, flapped them wildly, blew up countless sand and dust, and flew up.
"Damn it, it wants to run!" the mandrill yelled.
Void Blade's eyes flashed with coldness: "It can't escape—"
