Xiao Jin only swung his sword twice at the black king insect. The first strike allowed the green king insect to find an opening and almost killed it in return. The second strike pierced through its body.

This hatred runs quite deep.

'Pfft!'

Xiao Jin drew her long sword, ignoring the black king insect's reaction, and ran towards the location Zhan Wenchen had indicated. However, as she ran, she didn't forget to take the few flashes of light on the ground with her.

This is an item dropped by the Queen Worm! Although Xiao Jin didn't kill it alone, she was indirectly involved in the battle.

For such powerful monsters, the system thoughtfully chose to allocate points based on contributions.

When the green king worm was strangled, it was not quite dead yet. Xiao Jin then delivered the final blow and was identified as a participant.

[Ding—Congratulations to the player for assisting in the kill of the Level 8 King Worm, participation rate 20%, points have been distributed according to contribution, please check in the backend...]

20% participation rate, that's quite a lot!

This number was more than Xiao Jin had imagined. Then her gaze fell on the panel backend, and her pupils contracted slightly after seeing the points she had earned.

[Points +1000, player's current remaining points: 1672]

There are actually 1,000 points, and after these two days of fighting, Xiao Jin's own points have reached 600. The King Worm is an eighth-level insectoid, so if we calculate it this way, its own points are 5,000.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin pulled his thoughts away from the panel and glanced at the black king insect behind him.

It's no wonder Zhan Wenzhen kept thinking about it; that guy was too weak, his only redeeming quality was his brain. He couldn't possibly kill the insectoid race with real swords and spears like Xiao Jin.

Lu Yan couldn't possibly tie up all the Zerglings one by one to finish them off.

So Zhan Wenzhen set his sights on Wang Chong. He was also gambling that if a player couldn't kill such a big boss, then the points would only be calculated based on contribution.

Although Zhan Wenchen had always stayed in the rear to coordinate, Xiao Jin could not deny his achievements.

As for the items she smuggled from the green king insect, Xiao Jin didn't even have time to look at them.

The black queen insects over there also realized what was happening and chased after Xiao Jin. The insectoid forces that had been split up were regrouped after the battle ended.

They all obediently followed their leader's orders and began to attack the players.

As the King Worm drew closer, a flash of light appeared in Xiao Jin's hand, and a card instantly materialized.

He crushed the card, and it instantly transformed into a beam of light that rushed into Xiao Jin's body. Immediately afterward, Xiao Jin's speed increased, creating some distance between himself and the King Worm.

[Movement Speed ​​Card: Increases your movement speed by 40% for ten minutes after use]

The newbie gift pack given after the previous system update contained two cards: a survival card with supplies and a movement speed card.

I've never used it before, but now it's finally coming in handy.

While Xiao Jin was racing against time, Zhan Wenchen was urging the players to quickly set up their defenses and retreat to the rear, making sure to get out of the blast radius as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Zhan Wenzhen also asked Sui Feng and several other players who performed well to go and meet Xiao Jin. When asked about the surviving mercenaries, they readily agreed.

It's worth mentioning that after the big battle, only two of the five-person group survived. The scarred man died a horrible death; he watched himself being eaten bit by bit while he was still alive.

It can be considered retribution.

...

'Whoosh!'

A gust of wind swept behind her head. Xiao Jin kept her eyes straight ahead, leaned back, and stretched her body out like an arch bridge.

The next second, a stone the size of an egg flew over her head, whistling sharply around it, and then embedded itself in the wall not far away.

It wasn't over yet. Wang Chong shook up all the rubble around him and then used his hidden strength to shoot it all at Xiao Jin, trying to stop her.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin had no choice but to stop running and roll over to avoid it.

Even with her mid-level protective suit, she was not safe from such an attack. She swung her longsword to deflect the flying stones and then flipped her body to dodge the remaining ones.

Although she was unharmed, the king insect successfully reached her.

With no other option, Xiao Jin's eyes darkened, and she took out a red pill from her backpack and swallowed it.

After taking the medicine, Xiao Jin felt warm all over, the pain in her chest and arms slowly disappeared, and all the external wounds on her body healed.

With a flick of his wrist, without any hesitation, Xiao Jin gripped the long sword in his right hand, bowed to face Wang Chong, and sprang forward like a rocket.

A series of loud bangs and clangs erupted as the two clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

Xiao Jin continued to fight while retreating.

She didn't intend to fight back head-on. Xiao Jin was like a slippery eel, repeatedly using the attacks of the King Worm to fly backward, just to dodge.

Gradually, the King Worm grew angry and increased its speed. Even with the speed boost from the speed card, Xiao Jin was still unable to dodge it.

'Bang!'

Xiao Jin felt a surge of force in her waist, and the next second, an indescribable pain swept through her entire body, accompanied by the sound of bones shattering and a low groan.

Xiao Jin lost control of his body, and then his whole body flew into the air, crashing into the swarm of insects like a kite with a broken string.

The moment it landed, dust rose up everywhere.

"puff!"

Xiao Jin coughed up a mouthful of blood. She gritted her teeth and let the sweat and blood blur her vision.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. The kick was intended for her abdomen, but Xiao Jin turned her body in mid-air, causing the kick to land on her waist.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be ribs that break; the internal organs would be kicked out.

In the blink of an eye, almost the next second after touching the ground, Xiao Jin's body sprang up like a cheetah. His movements were so swift that he didn't look like a seriously injured person at all.

After leaving her original spot, several bone spikes pierced the ground. Xiao Jin swung her longsword, and countless iron beetles were overturned. The insectoids that tried to rush up were all cut down by her blade.

'Hoo~ Hoo~'

This is the sound of Xiao Jin breathing.

Whether it was a rib piercing into his body or not, Xiao Jin felt an indescribable, dull pain in his chest with every breath, as if fine needles were pricking his heart, making even wielding his long sword a heavy burden.

'Whoosh!'

Xiao Jin's pupils suddenly contracted, and a crimson hue suddenly appeared before her eyes.

The black king insect stood right in front of Xiao Jin, their faces less than ten centimeters apart. Then, it raised its hand and, with lightning speed, grabbed Xiao Jin's throat.

Xiao Jin instantly felt an indescribable sense of suffocation, as if a giant beast in the deep sea had suddenly tightened its claws and gripped her tightly.

Wang Chong's long, dark fingertips, like vines spreading silently in the night, coiled and tightened without a sound.

With her slender and elegant neck, Xiao Jin suddenly appeared even more vulnerable and helpless under this powerful constraint, easily arousing the hidden tyranny and bloodlust in those around her.
