Chapter 225: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole, Taotie's Trick

Hou Ting and Ji Yang took turns attacking, but it was undoubtedly just a tickle to the mutant maggots.

Wang Lu continued to provide air shields to the three people while observing the weaknesses of the mutant maggots.

The sight of these densely packed mutant maggots made the three of them scalp tingle, and the constantly bouncing bodies caused a dull pain in their trigeminal nerves. Ji Yang had no choice but to use his psychic powers to connect her and Hou Ting, preparing to intensify the attack.

She naturally thought that the combined strength of her and Hou Ting was enough to break through level 100 and achieve the goal of killing the mutant maggots.

But in fact, although the mutated maggots also made creepy noises, they did not cause much damage in the end, they just turned from white to black.

Wang Lu's mouth twitched. Could it be that the combined attack power of the two was not enough to break through level 100?

Yin Shan said quietly, "Our mental powers are out of sync, and our tacit understanding isn't up to par. This method won't work."

Ji Yang had no choice but to disconnect the spiritual power connection and shouted, "Monkey, delay!"

Hou Ting was speechless and said, "Hurry up! This thing is so disgusting!"

Yin Shan held his forehead with his hand, while Ah Cang said a little embarrassedly: "Didn't they realize that gravity power can completely restrain these mutant maggots..."

Yin Shan was speechless: "Maybe not?"

Just as he was about to complain loudly, the next moment, Wang Lu seemed to have finally discovered something and said, "Monkey, turn on the gravity ability to the maximum!"

Hou Ting did not hesitate and released her supernatural power without reservation, and the mutant maggots were instantly unable to move.

Wang Lu took out the dagger given by the system, walked straight to the one closest to her, aimed at the mutant maggot's wide-open mouth, and stabbed it directly.

As the mutant maggot stopped moving, the three people's eyes lit up.

Countless tiny wind blades emerged from Ji Yang's hands and continuously attacked the mutant maggot's mouth.

Yin Shan curled his lips, it seemed that he had found a solution.

However, the attack of the three people did not last more than three seconds. Seeing that this method did not work, the mutant maggots gathered all the scattered maggots again and turned into a giant mutant maggot.

He directly broke through Hou Ting's suppression and blasted three people away.

Yin Shan frowned. Did she underestimate this thing? No way?

Hou Ting angrily said, "I was distracted for a moment! And it attacked me by surprise!"

Ah Cang: .....

Ji Yang gathered his wind-based abilities, increased his speed, and continuously swung out tiny wind blades to attack the mutant maggots. The mutant maggots dodged left and right, not noticing the changes in the three people's movements at all.

Soon, Ji Yang found an opportunity. Wang Lu had transformed the air wall into steps. When Ji Yang turned the mutant maggot's head towards the steps, Hou Ting once again used her gravity ability with all her strength.

The next moment, the long-accumulated black lightning struck directly into the mutant maggot's mouth.

Seeing this, the three quickly retreated. However, the mutant maggot's internal organs had been completely destroyed by the black lightning, and it soon fell to the ground, twitching a few times before dying.

Yin Shan smiled and said, "Not bad! The cooperation is very good!"

Before he finished speaking, the three people who had retreated to a safe area started vomiting.

Yin Shan: .....Not that serious, right?

Then she looked at the mutant maggot and managed to suppress the urge to vomit.

The corpse of the mutant maggot, which was originally quite symmetrical, was so horrible that if I had to describe the feeling... I can only say that the mermaid in the sewer is more beautiful than it is now.

Yin Shan had no choice but to tie the scarred man to the roof of the RV, pulled her three girlfriends into the car, and quickly left the place.

As soon as the few people left, the mutant maggot's body exploded, and countless blood and flesh mixed with a fishy smell spread instantly.

The scarred man on the RV roof witnessed the entire incident and vomited profusely. The ground was covered in white and black flesh, which was even twitching and wriggling. If Yin Shan hadn't been 100% certain that the creature was dead and only twitching, she would have been hard-pressed to attack it.

In the car, Yin Shan was speechless: "I finally got a super-level mutant beast, and now I don't even have the crystal core!"

Hou Ting said speechlessly: "If you have the guts, go get it! Why don't you go? The crystal core is given to you, but the three of us don't want it!"

Yin Shan's mouth twitched. "No... this one won't make a difference. It's too disgusting... Pieces of it, and there's even undigested food in the exploded corpse... Ugh..."

Wang Lu said, "What I'm saying is, this thing can actually break through level 100. How did it do that?"

Ji Yang: "Maybe because it was so disgusting, the mutant beasts that were originally planning to attack it became listless, so it was able to successfully launch a sneak attack?

But seriously, I'd rather fight that sick mutant bear than fight this thing again!"

Yin Shan said, "Alright, feel it and see if there's any improvement."

The three of them closed their eyes for a moment and said in surprise, "Spiritual power has improved!"

Yin Shan: .....I feel like laughing. Are you sure it’s the mental strength that’s improved, not the endurance?

"Let's go, let's go to that fake base and change our minds!" Yin Shan said casually.

The three of them were startled. The more careless she was, the angrier she became. It seemed that if that mutant maggot hadn't unluckily rushed over, Yin Shan's desire to improve their strength would have prevailed. They might have been slaughtering the city by now.

When the three of them arrived at the location the scarred man mentioned, they thought they would see a legitimate base. However, the flames in the sky told them that they had overestimated their expectations.

Yin Shan was slightly surprised and got out of the car directly.

She had already sensed that the people surrounding the base, all with special abilities, had the word "sea" on their clothes.

Gathering strength secretly, Yin Shan strode forward: "From the official Haicheng base?"

These psychics became alert instantly when they heard the voice coming from behind them. They had also cultivated their mental powers, but they only sensed a very weak aura of a psychic, but this voice did not sound like that of a weak psychic at all.

Yin Shan asked, "Why, no one is in charge?"

Looking at these psychics preparing to charge their energy to attack them, Yin Shan's black vines instantly broke out of his body, his expression icy cold: "Don't make me ask a second time!"

Looking at the vines behind her, the man standing in the middle took a few big steps forward and asked, "Is that Major General Yin?"

Yin Shan raised an eyebrow: "Answer my question."

The man said respectfully, "We are from the Haicheng official base. My name is Sima Feng, and I'm the captain of the Haicheng official base assault team! Major General Yin, I've long heard of your great name!"

A hint of danger flashed in his eyes, and Yin Shan said slowly: "I heard that this is the Xinlong Base. Captain Sima, you led the team to slaughter the Xinlong Base. Aren't you afraid that I will be angry?"

Seeing that Yin Shan did not deny his identity, Sima Feng smiled and said, "Xinlong Base has always been dedicated to the country and the people. Although it does not accept ordinary survivors, it never kills innocent people or massacres civilians, let alone abuses women!

Therefore, I am certain that this is not the Xinlong base. Even the woman who pretends to be Major General Yin can't even use her plant-related abilities. Major General Yin's plant-related abilities are superb and unmatched. How dare this imposter claim to be Yin Shan without even doing the basic homework?

The Spark Base is a sacred and inviolable existence in the eyes of Chinese residents. The appearance of this counterfeit will only damage its reputation, so we, the official base, must naturally do our best to eliminate it.

I didn't expect Major General Yin to pass by here, what a coincidence."

Sima Feng looked calm, but his words were rather flowery. Hou Ting quietly grumbled, "Could this guy have traveled through time from ancient times?"

Wang Lu and Ji Yang both nodded sympathetically.

Yin Shan smiled and said, "Since the official Haicheng base has helped to deal with it, then I will leave. I just happened to come across it and was originally planning to deal with it. But Captain Sima, there is really no need to take it in at this base. Do you understand what I mean?"

Sima Feng smiled and said, "Of course. Major General Yin has come from afar. Would you like to visit the Haicheng base?"

Yin Shan shook his head and left without hesitation, leaving behind the scarred man who had fainted from vomiting.

Of course, he did not miss Sima Feng's face which suddenly turned gloomy behind him.

In the car, Yin Shan said, "This Haicheng base is a bit strange."

Seeing the three people with question marks in their heads, Yin Shan said, "After we came out, we have actually been heading in this direction, and the direction of the group of scarred men is obviously heading towards our base.

It's just that they met us on the road, and that guy wasn't a smart guy, so they were wiped out immediately.

Your battle with the mutant maggots only lasted less than two hours, plus the time we wasted going to the fake base, it was only three hours at most.

The car driven by the scar-faced man and his men was not slow. If they left the base and headed straight for the Spark Base, it would only take them two hours at most.

The time difference is at most 7 hours...

When we arrived, the entire fake base had been destroyed, and according to my mental detection, the attack took place about three hours ago.

In other words, this group of people knew about the annihilation of the team first, and we were likely to go to the fake base.

Then the base was destroyed.

The corpse cannot be faked. I can only say that this fake base was either discovered and destroyed by the Haicheng base by chance.

Or maybe the fake base was actually set up by Haicheng Base, and they knew they were discovered, so they just silenced them."

Wang Lu frowned: "But the second possibility seems very likely. Sima Feng's face is indeed not very good at hiding."

Yin Shan said: "We will wait for them here, go into the space and wait!"

A moment later, Sima Feng and his men caught up. Seeing the RV tracks suddenly disappear, Sima Feng angrily said, "Impossible! We followed the tracks and kept a distance of more than 3 kilometers. How could their tracks suddenly disappear?..."

The person behind him said, "Did they discover something and deliberately lead us here?"

Sima Feng pondered for a moment and said, "No, just now the four of them looked calm and showed no signs of suspicion towards us. There were no signs of other mutant beasts around. I originally wanted to lure them into the Haicheng base.

But we can change our approach and go directly to the Spark Base!"

The people behind him were surprised: "Go directly?"

Sima Feng smiled and said, "If Qin Lei can be recruited, then we who are sincere and uphold the reputation of the Spark Base can naturally enter the Spark Base as well.

As long as you enter the Spark Base and gain some trust, Lord Taotie will send a large army to attack.

When the time comes, with the help of internal and external forces, we can just open the gate of the Spark Base. Why would we still be afraid of that turtle-shell-like city wall?

I really don't know how that wall was built. Even a million-level mutant beast couldn't kick it open... It seems the only way to break through is from the inside!"

Inside the space, Hou Ting exclaimed in shock, "They can communicate with Taotie?! How is that even possible? Doesn't that thing only roar?"

Wang Lu said, "Mutated beasts that reach a certain level will be able to speak human language. Taotie must have existed for ten thousand years. It's not surprising that they can communicate with humans, right?"

Yin Shan explained, "According to what the weapon spirit said, Taotie wouldn't exceed level 100, but they are the executors of destruction, so anything could happen. Perhaps for a species like them, speaking human language isn't uncommon."

Ji Yang asked, "What are you going to do? Lure the snake out of its hole?"

Yin Shan pondered for a moment: "No, if they say so, it proves that Taotie hopes to break through the Spark Base from the inside and then destroy us.

Then we still have time to delay. Before that, it would be best if all three of you break through level 100, so that we can be sure.

After all, I don't know how many Taotie troops there are...

But at present, the number will not be small, but to kill them, the level 100 superpowers can achieve large-scale instant kills. As long as we have 4 level 100 superpowers, we can try our best to avoid them from breaking through the surface.

As long as we are not in the base, my mother will not easily accept new people in. As long as they can't get in, they dare not make any moves!

Now we can only race against time."

Hou Ting smiled bitterly and said, "But breaking through to level 100 is no easy task. If we can't break through, the Taotie won't wait and will march directly with their army. We'll be exhausted to death!"

Yin Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Now that I have the right to create things in the system mall, do you think it's possible to create a breakthrough pill like that? Something that can allow a level 99 psychic to break through?"

Ah Cangliang reminded: "Impossible... Level 99 may be reached by people with good talents sooner or later. But if there are too many people with level 100 abilities, it will be unbalanced, and the rules will not allow such a thing to happen."

Looking back at the time when they broke through, they were facing life and death, but deep down, Hou Ting and the other two would never believe that they could kill them.

Therefore, they can only break through by feeling death themselves. Even this feeling of death will not exist in their subconscious as long as Yin Shan is there...

Just as she was about to speak, Hou Ting said, "After this group leaves, the three of us will go find mutant beasts above level 100. If we succeed, we will return to the base. If we fail, Shanshan, remember to collect our bodies."

Neither Wang Lu nor Ji Yang had any objections. After all, if they couldn't help, he would die sooner or later, so what did it matter if it happened sooner?

Yin Shan opened his mouth, but finally denied it: "No, it's too risky. Even if we are all going to die sooner or later, let's die together. There's no need to separate!

Perhaps with the Taotie army approaching, the huge pressure will allow you to break through directly?

Even if we can't, we have three level 100 psychics. As long as we don't lose our strength, prolong the battle, and have psychic replenishment fluids, it should be possible."
