Chapter 51 Mission 2 - Enemy Slayer! Level 5 - Patrol Guards
Below the hill.
Su Chen rode on Xiao Zi's back and sped into the swarm of abyssal demonic insects.
Little Purple's four claws stomped on the ground, and she used her Swift Step at full speed to weave through the dense swarm of demonic insects.
Su Chen gripped the long sword in his right hand, the blade gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
On the left, a demonic insect suddenly sprang up, its mouthparts baring their sharp teeth, lunging straight at Su Chen's legs.
Without even looking, Su Chen pressed down with his longsword, the blade striking the demonic insect's head with pinpoint accuracy.
"Smack!"
The demonic insect was slapped off course, its body flipped in the air, and crashed to the ground.
Xiao Zi leaped over it, and under the Heavenly Thunder Protection state, the lightning flashing around her suddenly gathered and slammed into the demonic insect!
[Task 2: Hundred-Enemy Slayer, Progress: 14/100]
On the right, another demonic insect suddenly attacked from the side and rear, its mouthparts wide open, the ring of sharp teeth resembling the blades of a meat grinder! It was quite eerie.
Su Chen's body suddenly tilted to the left, almost hanging on Xiao Zi's side.
Sharp teeth grazed his back, sending up a whiff of blood.
Shadowless Step!
To be precise, it's a change of direction technique using the Shadowless Step while on Xiao Zi's back.
His leg acupoints were burning hot, and spiritual energy was flowing rapidly through his meridians, shifting his center of gravity in a fraction of a second.
He flipped over, and his long sword pierced the air, striking the demonic insect squarely in the middle of its abdomen!
"Pfft~"
Abyssal Demon Worm
Strength Rank: Second Realm - Beginner Soldier
HP: 26/87
Gathering power in his right fist, unleashing a mountain-splitting punch!
"Boom!"
The cyclone struck his wound, instantly killing him.
But three more demonic insects blocked the way.
Xiao Zi showed no sign of slowing down.
Its back was arched, and lightning flashed among its silvery-white fur.
Lightning Release!
The silver-white figure instantly transformed into a blinding blue light, weaving across the battlefield in a zigzag pattern.
The first demonic insect was struck by the lightning and sent flying, its body tumbling several times in the air before crashing into the swarm of insects behind it.
The second one fared even worse, being pierced through the middle by lightning, leaving a charred hole in its torso from which dark red fluid gushed out.
The third demonic insect reacted faster, its six legs suddenly leaping to the side in an attempt to dodge.
But Su Chen's longsword was faster than its body.
The blade made a diagonal slash from the lower right to the upper left, precisely cutting into the junction of the demonic insect's head and torso.
"Pfft~!"
Dark red blood spurted out, the demonic insect's head flew off, and its body lurched forward a few steps before crashing to the ground.
Su Chen sheathed the knife, his breathing remaining steady.
My consciousness swept across the panel.
[Task 2: Hundred-Enemy Slayer, Progress: 16/100]
[Task 2: Hundred-Enemy Slayer, Progress: 17/100]
The corners of his mouth turned up.
To speed up quest progress, you really have to pick on the weak!
In the previous battle, the Hundred-Transformation Serpent was treacherous, the Demon Rat swarm was numerous but had few soldiers, the Giant Tooth Demon Boar was tough and thick-skinned, and the Demon Wolf was strong in combat and knew how to cooperate. They worked themselves to the bone and only managed to kill eight soldiers!
The progress went from zero to thirteen, which took a tremendous amount of effort.
At this rate, it feels like Task 2 will be stuck for a whole month!!!
But now...
Su Chen grinned.
Abyssal Demon Worm, soldier level, but its cultivation level is not low.
However, its combat power is not on the same level as that of the demon wolves and little devils of the same rank.
They reproduce quickly, are numerous, and swarm in droves, which can be quite troublesome.
However, its disadvantages are quite obvious: the joints of the body are fragile, the frontal impact speed is relatively fast, and it is not very flexible in changing direction.
This is also the downside of rapid reproduction and growth! Otherwise, if it were invincible in every aspect, it would have become a bug-level disaster long ago.
Once you understand their weaknesses, as long as you're fast enough, they'll become a bunch of moving experience packs!
This is hardly a case of bullying noobs.
This is just picking up points!
Su Chen's gaze swept over the dense swarm of abyssal demonic insects ahead, his eyes filled with excitement.
These little things are practically a tailor-made experience package for him!
One cut, one kill; extremely efficient.
Xiao Zi got carried away with the killing spree and increased her speed even further.
Another demonic insect lunged at us.
Su Chen didn't even use his knife; he kicked out with his right foot, his heel striking the side of the demonic insect's mouthparts with pinpoint accuracy.
"Snap!"
Several of the sharp teeth shattered, and the demonic insect's head was kicked backward, exposing its vulnerable abdomen.
Little Purple understood immediately, and used Thunder Fang!
Lightning exploded between its upper and lower jaws, biting down hard on the demonic insect's abdominal armor.
"Sizzle~"
The demonic insect's body convulsed violently a few times, then remained still.
[Task 2: Hundred-Enemy Slayer, Progress: 18/100]
"Hahaha!"
Su Chen laughed out loud.
This was so easy to do!
Just then, a gunshot rang out from behind.
A 15mm heavy bullet whizzed past Su Chen's right side and accurately pierced a demonic insect hiding in a tree, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
Su Chen looked back.
Yang Xin, carrying a gun, arrived with the main force!
Meanwhile, Zhou Chengjie, riding the Black Spirit, also charged in from the flank!
Black Spirit was slightly slower than Little Purple, but combined with Zhou Chengjie's stable strength, the effect was not bad.
Just then, an arrow flew overhead and pierced through a demonic insect that was about to pounce.
Lin Xiyue called out from afar, "Be careful! Don't get distracted!"
Su Chen didn't care about any of that anymore; with the energy protector in place, nothing would happen.
Grades and such don't matter anymore!
The important thing is task two!
And... level ratings!
"Damn it!"
"We've finally found an easy target, we have to squeeze it dry."
Su Chen had only one thought in his mind: Don't steal my monster!
He patted Xiao Zi's head and lowered his voice: "Over there, charge!"
Little Purple suddenly turned around, pushed off the ground with its four paws, and charged forward.
[Task 2: Hundred-Enemy Slayer, Progress: 19/100]
【….】
[Task 2: Hundred-Enemy Slayer, Progress: 24/100]
Su Chen kept his eyes scanning his surroundings, searching for targets.
Just then, the sound of flapping wings came from above.
He looked up.
A little devil swooped down from a tree branch, its dark red scales covered in some kind of slime.
It is only half the size of an adult, but it is very fast and more agile!
The membrane wings on its back clung tightly to its sides as it swooped down at high speed, while its claws extended out in front of it, aiming straight for Su Chen's face.
Mid-rank soldier!
Little devil!
"Damn it! Don't stop me from racking up points!"
Su Chen was furious.
He was having a great time brushing his brush, what are you doing here causing trouble?
You think you're elite?
Even if I can't beat an elite-level opponent, I can still crush you, right?
"Little Purple! Do it!"
Xiao Zi did not hesitate at all.
Thunder roar!
A sonic wave of lightning exploded from deep within Little Purple's throat, carrying a shockwave of psionic energy, and struck the little devil precisely.
The little devil froze abruptly, its dive trajectory deviating from its intended path.
Raiya followed closely behind!
Little Purple leaped up suddenly, lightning exploding between her upper and lower jaws, and bit down hard on the base of the little devil's left wing.
"Sizzle~!"
A gash was torn in the membrane, and black blood gushed from the wound.
The little devil let out a sharp scream, lost its balance, and tumbled through the air.
Su Chen drew his Beast Hunter Type 1 submachine gun, held it in one hand, and fired a burst at the little devil.
"Da da da da da~"
Flames shot out from the muzzle of the gun.
The little devil's right wing was riddled with bullet holes, its membrane covered in bullet holes.
It completely lost its ability to fly and fell from mid-air, crashing to the ground.
Su Chen slung the gun at his waist, gripped the long knife with both hands, and charged forward.
The little devil struggled to stand up, but its right wing was useless, so it could only crawl on the ground with its claws.
Su Chen didn't give it a chance.
The knife rises!
Knife fall!
A head rolled away, and dark red blood gushed from the severed wound, splattering onto Su Chen's trouser leg.
[Task 2: Hundred-Enemy Slayer, Progress: 25/100]
He flicked the blood off his knife and glanced around.
The little devil is intelligent and can even understand human speech.
And he's very timid!
Seeing Su Chen's swift and decisive actions, the little demons perched on the branches were stunned. A hint of hesitation flashed in their red eyes, as if they were weighing the pros and cons.
Su Chen snorted coldly, "I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to play with knives with you guys!"
"If you dare come again, every shot will be a headshot! One second! I am sniper Su Chen!"
The little devil crouching at the very top let out a sharp screech.
As if receiving some kind of command, the swarm of demonic insects below instantly became organized in their previously scattered attack formation.
The demon wolves and demon rats infected by the abyss's aura were also mobilized, flanking from the flanks in an attempt to cut off Su Chen's retreat.
Su Chen glanced at the surging shadows around him and a smirk appeared on his lips.
"The more of these, the better!"
He gripped the longsword again, and Xiao Zi pawed at the ground, lightning flashing intermittently among its silvery-white fur.
Yang Xin's gunshots came from behind, one after another, with a steady rhythm.
Zhou Chengjie, riding Black Spirit, also moved in this direction.
Wang Yichuan, Zhang Yan, Li Yu, and Lin Xiyue also arrived, entering the battlefield from different directions!
Su Chen watched this scene and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Then he withdrew his gaze and fixed it on the swarming demonic insects in front of him.
"Xiao Zi, rush!"
During a break in the battle, Su Chen also checked the level interface in the pet space.
【Ding--】
[A group of Abyss units detected. The fifth level of this practical assessment has been triggered.]
[Level Name: Patrol Guards of the Abyss]
[Level Introduction:.......]
Difficulty: 3.5 stars
"Only three and a half stars? That's nearly a hundred soldier-level creatures, right? More than two hundred abyssal creatures!"
"Forget it, forget it, let's just keep raising the ratings."
.......
On the mountainside.
Yang Fan stared at the figure charging through the monster horde below the mountain, his mouth agape.
A slightly shorter guy from the same community stood next to him, his voice trembling: "Is...is this still my Brother Chen?"
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
His voice was filled with barely concealed excitement and pride: "Haha! Brother Chen is amazing!"
"Didn't I tell you guys? Brother Chen has improved tremendously recently! You didn't believe me!"
But just then, another commotion came from afar.
Liu Yongchao pushed up his glasses and looked at it carefully.
"Another group of people has arrived, it looks like...it looks like Liu Xiangdong's group."
Yang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Only Brother Chen and Liu Xiangdong's team have the strength to come and provide support. It looks like this is a sure thing!"
Liu Yongchao immediately shouted to the crowd, "Two reinforcements have arrived! This is in the bag, brothers, let's go for it!!! We might even get 120 points."
