Chapter 581: Chapter 163: Perseverance
"Brother Zhou, you shouldn’t be too impulsive. Just now you almost fell among those bugs, it was too dangerous," Chang Yi said with a concerned expression.
He remembered when Zhou An was in the Doomsday World, his combat style was still quite sneaky, how did it become so fierce now?
Is this what they call being bold with high skills?
Hearing this, Zhou An turned his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Isn’t it because Brother Su is here, so I thought I’d go all out for a wave, I didn’t expect to overdo it. These bugs have skin as thick as the steel plates of an armored car."
He was seriously injured, with a large hole in his scapula, skin torn, blood flowing uncontrollably as he was dragged back.
Su Changxing looked at him and said grumpily, "Stop moving around, how will the doctor apply the medicine?" freewebnσvel.cøm
The young girl beside him, with a white band on her shoulder, was applying medicine to Zhou An. She was startled like a little rabbit and hastily said:
"It’s okay, it’s okay, it doesn’t affect anything, I can manage."
She was also a member of the team, though she just recently joined, a Superpower User capable of magnifying the effects of medicine, hence was arranged into the medical team.
Zhou An immediately sat still, explaining, "I forgot all about it while talking, sorry."
The young girl shook her head repeatedly and said, "It’s alright, Captain Zhou, no need to apologize, it’s my honor to apply medicine to you."
In her eyes, Zhou An was an extremely powerful Extraordinary, an untouchable existence.
Although Zhou An was a Tier Eight Extraordinary, his physique wasn’t particularly strong. This kind of wound, if not treated with medicine, would take a long time to heal.
Besides, the medicine used wasn’t ordinary; it was also a Mysterious Item, capable of stimulating the body’s Life Force for rapid recovery, quite common, obtainable in many tasks, also purchasable in the Doomsday Shop.
Su Changxing looked at the ground full of bug corpses and said, "Later, let’s dig a big pit and burn all these bug corpses to avoid any hidden dangers."
Chang Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I also feel these creatures are strange."
Saying so, Su Changxing walked towards the position of the Brain Worm, sensing that it was still in a motionless state, seemingly dead.
By this time, the robot troops had already dug a big hole in the ground leading to that worm, at over ten meters underground.
Su Changxing looked down along the big hole and found that around five to six meters, there was an underground hollow, and he could see part of the bug’s body.
[Primary Brain Worm: Tier Seven, primary unit of the Titan Insect Race, generally evolves in places overlooked by some Low-level Insect Race, capable of commanding all surrounding Low-level Insect Race, strong Life Force, can travel slowly underground.
This is just a shell, the body of the Brain Worm has already escaped...]
"It already escaped, when?"
Su Changxing recalled the previous scene, not noticing anything. When did the Brain Worm escape?
He didn’t expect this huge thing to be just the Brain Worm’s shell, and not the body, but it wasn’t surprising since such creatures had strong escape abilities.
Of course, it shouldn’t be let go so easily.
He immediately sent a message to Zhu Wenwu to track and clean off this Brain Worm.
Zhu Wenwu had strong tracking abilities, stemming from his position, capable of tracing the body through part of the target’s tissue.
However, Zhu Wenwu was currently leading people towards the direction of the Wizard’s group, monitoring their actions, it would take some time to get here.
As the fire burned, the corpses of bugs were thrown into the fire one by one.
These bugs had strong survival abilities, those not completely dead struggled in the fire for half an hour before slowly dying.
This Low-level Titan Insect Race did not possess strong combat capabilities, but their survival ability was top-notch, capable of living in various harsh environments.
If it hadn’t been for the Brain Worm’s previous death order to attack, they would’ve practically been unable to clear out these bugs completely.
Subsequently, Su Changxing entered the cave and converted the Brain Worm’s huge shell into Points.
With a flash of an invisible white light, the Brain Worm’s shell visibly shriveled, losing its original vitality.
[Sell "Brain Worm’s Shell" and get 60,000 Points]
More than expected, this bug’s combat power wasn’t strong, but its shell was quite valuable.
After clearing these bugs, they gained over a million Points from the mission, not much but decent. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Then, some people transported the injured back first, while others continued clearing surrounding monsters.
With the cooperative effort of the surrounding people, such clearing was relatively safe, unless unexpected, almost no one would die.
During this process, one after another, a few people became Extraordinary.
This made others feel encouraged, seeing the hope of becoming Extraordinary themselves.
While these people were becoming Extraordinary, Su Changxing could noticeably feel himself becoming stronger, not a gradual process, but abruptly, tier by tier, like climbing a staircase.
Now he almost didn’t need to check the path log for Mysteriousness to estimate how much he’d increased.
At this stage, other Extraordinaries might be able to do the same, but they couldn’t increase Mysteriousness as quickly as Su Changxing.
A name skipped over in the path log, catching Su Changxing’s attention.
[You guided Chen Qian to become Extraordinary, +300 Mysteriousness]
This woman actually became Extraordinary before Xu Kai, which surprised Su Changxing. To know, Xu Kai had put on the pendant before her.
Su Changxing turned his head, patted Xu Kai’s shoulder, and exclaimed, "You’re not doing well, disciple."
"Huh?"
Xu Kai raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat confused and puzzled.
He had come along to watch and almost didn’t contribute much. Just holding a rifle and shooting from the back.
The rifle could cause some damage to these bugs but needed to be sufficiently precise, shooting through the shell gaps into their body.
Undoubtedly, this was quite difficult for most people, except for Extraordinaries with related abilities, or soldiers with excellent shooting skills.
Moreover, these bugs were fast-moving, rendering bullets almost non-threatening to them, except for the unfortunate ones that ran into them themselves.
Xu Kai reacted, clenched his fist, and said solemnly, "Teacher, I will definitely become Extraordinary as soon as possible, not failing your expectations!"
Su Changxing stared at him and said seriously, "I don’t hold any expectations for you."
"······"
Xu Kai paused, then exclaimed loudly, "I will try harder!"
