Free Web NovelChapter 140: Chapter 118: Shen Jie’s Solo Fight, Upgrade! Charge Call, Electromagnetic Blast
The Tiger Spine Zerg halted its retreat and stared intently at the small "Black Spine Zerg" before it.
And that was exactly what Shen Jie wanted.
Watching the limping Tiger Spine Zerg charge toward him, Shen Jie no longer hesitated and rushed to meet it.
As man and zerg were about to collide...
Before the twelve-meter-tall Tiger Spine Zerg, Shen Jie’s figure seemed as frail as a chick, but the Energy he contained was far greater.
While its size gave it an advantage in Power, it sacrificed agility.
When Shen Jie’s Arm Blade collided with the Tiger Spine Zerg’s Giant Mandible, the high-speed impact sent sparks flying. Just as Shen Jie should have been sent flying, he suddenly threw his head back and dropped at the last possible second...
He bent his legs, drawing his body into an arch to duck beneath the Tiger Spine Zerg’s Giant Mandible. Unable to brake in time, the zerg continued to rush forward.
Executing the slide, Shen Jie naturally wasn’t going to let such a perfect opportunity pass!
During the collision, Shen Jie had intentionally scraped his Bone Blade diagonally across the long Giant Mandible, using the intense friction to hone its edge. By the time the zerg’s vulnerable underbelly was before him... freeweɓnovel.cѳm
He plunged it deep inside!
The Bone Blade tore through the Tiger Spine Zerg’s abdomen, leaving two terrifying wounds several meters long and over a meter deep. It didn’t just pierce the ten-centimeter-thick Armor; it sliced clean through many of its internal organs!
Zerg blood sprayed out like a fountain. Reeling from the sudden, grievous injury, the Tiger Spine Zerg screeched to a halt, lost its balance, and rolled on the ground a few times before forcing itself to turn around.
But what greeted it was the sudden glint of a cold blade!
It plunged directly into its fist-sized eyeball, driving through the socket and deep inside. Shen Jie twisted the blade up and down, doing his best to scramble its pathetic brain.
Before the Tiger Spine Zerg could even react, its neural pathways were severed, and it lost control of its body.
As the severe abdominal wounds caused its Life Value to drain continuously, the Tiger Spine Zerg beneath Shen Jie was completely dead by the time he withdrew the Bone Blade from his right arm.
Only its pair of Giant Mandibles continued to twitch unconsciously.
Panting for breath, the Black Knight, having single-handedly slain the beast, sat on the Tiger Spine Zerg’s corpse. Suddenly, he felt a vast surge of Energy flow into his body from the corpse beneath him.
It not only swept away the fatigue from his strenuous exertion but also regrew the broken Arm Blade on his left arm.
But that wasn’t all. The Energy remained latent within his torso, waiting to be fully unleashed once Shen Jie left the battlefield and his condition stabilized. It would then help him break through to his Tier Two Awakening in one fell swoop.
After a short rest, a recovered Shen Jie stood up, preparing to sever the Giant Mandibles and haul them back with an off-road vehicle.
But when he turned around, the imposing Land Patrol Battleship had already pulled up behind him, leading a convoy of regrouped vehicles to clean up the battlefield.
Seeing that the danger had passed, Shen Jie immediately shed his Assimilation Form.
Maintaining it for too long would cause his Spiritual Value to drop continuously, eventually deteriorating to the point where it affected his sanity.
After long and persistent training, he could now maintain his Black Knight state for half an hour at most. Any longer, and he would descend into a berserk frenzy.
In truth, Shen Jie had planned for days to win this victory, even devising dozens of contingency plans. That was why he could pull it off so easily.
When the majestic Land Patrol Battleship had finished collecting the corpses of the other fifteen Tiger Spine Zergs and pulled up in front of Shen Jie, Lin Feng leaped from the Battleship and walked over to him.
He patted Shen Jie’s shoulder, glanced at the corpse of the lv22 Tiger Spine Zerg, and said,
"Congratulations. You’re about to become a Tier Two Awakener!"
"This is your trophy; it’s all yours. Later, if you eat this pair of Giant Mandibles, you might be able to grow a set of Battle Armor like mine..."
"The Tiger Form of the Assimilation Superpower will take your abilities to a whole new level!"
Hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, Shen Jie’s eyes lit up with joy.
Everyone had witnessed the performance of Lin Feng’s Battle Armor. Shen Jie was also eagerly anticipating the day he could obtain the Tiger Form himself.
To have Armor comparable to a Tiger Spine Zerg’s carapace in future battles against the Tier Two Zerg Race...
...would be like having an extra life! ƒгeewёbnovel.com
For Shen Jie, who was accustomed to melee and whose Superpower was only suited for it, this was far more important than any weapon!
Lin Feng’s generosity also deeply moved Shen Jie.
After all, he had only managed to win the duel thanks to Lin Feng killing the other Tiger Spine Zergs and crippling this one by breaking one of its legs.
Without these advantages, Shen Jie would never have had the chance to face a lone Tiger Spine Zerg and would have been forced to deal with a strike team of at least three.
But in Lin Feng’s opinion, anyone with the courage to succeed at Tier Jumping to challenge a Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg deserved such a reward.
If it weren’t more beneficial for Shen Jie to consume the entire zerg corpse, Lin Feng would have even offered to craft a suit of Flying Tiger Armor for him.
In the end, some of Lin Feng’s men found a small cargo truck, hot-wired it, and hauled the corpse away.
The time was eleven in the morning. Seeing that his team was exhausted after two battles, Lin Feng gave the order to withdraw.
On the way back, to free up storage space, Lin Feng integrated the surplus Tier One Black Spine Zerg Giant Mandibles into his team members’ Red Armor, upgrading them to lv10 Red Profound Armor.
Meanwhile, of the fifteen pairs of Tiger Spine Zerg Giant Mandibles, Lin Feng set aside five pairs for the Battleship’s fusion upgrade and integrated the remaining ten into his own Flying Tiger Armor.
Combined with the points from the three he killed while taking down the Parasitic Matriarch last time, he now had a total of thirteen Upgrade Points.
