Chapter 280 - 215: Desolate Planet! Three-Star Alien Beast!
Chapter 280: Chapter 215: Desolate Planet! Three-Star Alien Beast!
Zhang San, Niu Jindao, Yang Hou’er, and Chen Zhong, the four of them were captains of their respective affiliated army units.
Their four-dimensional attributes, in some way or another, often surpassed their colleagues by a little bit.
Their personal character, knowledge, and insight also exceeded their fellow soldiers.
This made them all natural leaders of their respective units.
Especially after the reinforcement from the unique ingredients of the Black Worm and the Black Armored Worm, their strength escalated even more!
After three hours, everyone opened their eyes.
Under Zheng Cheng’s lead, the five of them once again stepped into the black fog.
Their mission this time was to eliminate the three-star Alien Beasts, the Dazzling Spiders, and the Giant Blood-sucking Mosquitoes, within the valley!
This time, he chose the forest in the south, where there were densely grown trees and lush bushes, mostly coniferous forests that reach twenty to thirty meters high, which could effectively restrain the Giant Blood-sucking Mosquitoes from flying.
From Zheng Cheng’s Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, in that direction, there were hundreds of Dazzling Spiders and Giant Blood-Sucking Mosquitoes densely packed together.
“Zhang San, you all were summoned by me from the homeland, I want to know what kind of world were you living in before?”
In the black fog, with the five people walking one after the other, Zhen Cheng abruptly asked.
“Our world?”
Zhang San was initially stunned for a moment, he then shook his head and said, “My lord, I am just an ordinary rank-1 laborer, usually engaged in heavy logistical work and transport duties.”
“I only know that the place where I lived is called ‘Desolate Planet’ and I survived in a city called ‘City of Humans’.”
“As for the situation outside, I don’t have a clear understanding. Perhaps Captain Niu and others…”
Looking at Zheng Cheng’s gaze, Niu Jindao said, “Sir, Zhang San is right, the planet we live on is indeed called a Desolate Planet, it is a planet that has been mostly occupied by Alien Beasts!”
“We humans have built the few remaining cities on high mountains, deep into the valleys and in other inaccessible places. Among them, ‘City of Humans’ is the largest city.”
“Since birth, we are trained to be qualified soldiers, awaiting the call of the ‘Chosen One’ to go to the ‘homeland’.”
“Chosen One? Homeland?”
Zheng Cheng curiously asked, “What do you mean?”
Niu Jindao continued, “In the desolate lands, it is very difficult for common soldiers like us to level up and strengthen our abilities. Months and years of rigorous training may not even compare to a single charge of the Alien Beasts.”
“Even those heroes are the same, their pace of improving strength is really slow. Some heroes may not even get a chance to leave the ‘City of Humans’ in their lifetime.”
“But there is a legend, that has been passed down in our desolate planet.”
Their eyes were all filled with an intense longing.
The legend says our desolate planet is connected to a place called ‘homeland’. The ‘Chosen One’ could summon us through ‘homeland’. This allows us to enter the origin planet of Alien Beasts!”
“On the origin planet of Alien Beasts, we can expedite the strength enhancement process by killing Alien Beasts!”
“Especially the heroic units, their rate of strength improvement is even faster.”
Niu Jindao’s voice became excited, “But the Chosen One’s summons are entirely random, nobody knows which of us will be summoned to ‘homeland’.”
“We originally thought this legend was made up, but over sixty years ago a group of humans suddenly disappeared! When they returned, their abilities really did get a major boost especially the few heroes…..”
“In the past sixty years, we have been hoping for the call of the ‘Chosen One’ and the ‘homeland’!”
“Unexpectedly this time, we were the ones summoned to the ‘homeland’!”
“We really can enhance our abilities by killing Alien Beasts…..”
Chen Zhong and Yang Hou’er echoed the sentiment, “Indeed, my lord, You are our ‘Chosen One’!”
“We sincerely hope that we can hold on here and then await the arrival of the rest of our clan!”
“Yes indeed, we heard that the highest ranked unit that could enter ‘homeland’ about sixty years ago was only at six-star level. We don’t know if this time any of our clan members with higher ranks will enter!”
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Zheng Cheng also fell into deep thought.
‘Chosen One’?
‘Homeland’?
‘Desolate Planet’?
Also, the ‘origin planet’ of Alien Beasts?
Is there any connection between them?
“Squeak squeak squeak…”
Suddenly, a bizarre howl came from the black fog ahead. Zheng Cheng raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
In their line of sight, countless spider webs were densely spread out in the forest ahead.
One after another, giant spiders, taller than humans, hung upside down in mid-air. Their bodies were covered in black, yellow, and a bit of red patterns. Their heads had several fist-sized eyes that stared fixedly ahead.
This was the border between their homeland and the black fog. One step further would invite an attack from these variegated spiders.
“My Lord! I’ll lure the beasts first!”
Captain Niu raised his shield and spoke.
Zheng Cheng originally wanted to refuse, but reconsidered and agreed.
Although Captain Niu was lower in level, his four-dimensional attributes far exceeded those of all other two-star soldiers.
Particularly in terms of physique and strength, even five-star soldiers would have to look twice.
Captain Niu, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, slowly walked into the black fog.
Just as he entered, the nearest variegated spider gave a strange cry, fell from the web, and lunged at Captain Niu from mid-air.
“Bring it on!”
Captain Niu shouted, hid most of his body behind the shield, and charged forward.
Shield bash!
Bam!
Captain Niu and the variegated spider collided. He stood unaffected while the larger variegated spider cried out and retreated a few steps.
Seizing this opportunity, Captain Niu strode forward and hacked down with his sword!
Splat!
The finely-forged steel sword hit the head of the variegated spider, slicing a big wound in it.
The viscous green fluid and fresh blood splashed out.
“Chirp chirp chirp…”
The variegated spider cried as its huge body shook, it aimed its two front claws at Captain Niu.
“Variegated spider, you’re nothing special!”
Captain Niu yelled excitedly and rushed forward again, pushing hard against the variegated spider with his shield.
On a day-to-day basis, he would have been no match for a variegated spider.
A single variegated spider could easily kill three to five sword and shield warriors.
But now, he could handle a variegated spider all by himself!
This was the power of his Lord!
“Hahaha…”
He laughed uproariously, swinging his finely-forged steel sword and hacking wildly. Soon, half of the spider’s head was a gruesome mess.
“Chirp chirp chirp…!”
At that moment, another variegated spider rushed over from the dark.
“Watch out!”
Yang Hou’er shouted a warning. Captain Niu had no choice but to quickly turn around and protect himself with his shield.
“Whoosh… Splat!”
A penetrating whistle suddenly sounded.
Yang Hou’er fired an arrow. Driven by fierce wind, it instantly punctured the second variegated spider’s head, burying itself up to its shaft!
The variegated spider’s body shook violently, and it instantly fell dead.
He dumbly stared at the bow and arrow in his hand, seemingly unable to believe he could kill a variegated spider with a single shot!
“Hum hum hum…”
Suddenly, a piercing humming noise came from mid-air.
Zheng Cheng jerked his head up, “Beware! It’s a bloodsucking mega-mosquito!”
