I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 35 Defense and Counterattack

A fist was thrown out, and a whirlwind cannon followed suit.

The man who had broken through the limits of strength punched the Gale Leopard in the abdomen, the flesh sinking deep into it. Jiang Yuan's hand bones cracked, but with his adrenaline surging during the battle, the pain had been reduced to a minimum. His fist smashed into the Gale Leopard's abdomen with overwhelming force, crushing some of its organs.

At that moment, the Gale Leopard landed on his back, tearing his clothes and tearing his flesh open. It was something that a first-tier body could not withstand.

But he persevered.

At this moment, the power of bloodlust became his last pillar, keeping him from collapsing.

The shield of spiritual light shattered, and the Gale Leopard lunged at Ning Yanlan, who was retreating in panic. Just as it was about to bite her, the Gale Leopard's movements came to an abrupt halt.

Jiang Yuan's voice came from behind the Gale Leopard, "You beast, you're just going to shoot me and leave?"

"Isn't that incredibly rude?"

All twenty-five units of strength were concentrated in Jiang Yuan, who grabbed the Gale Leopard by the tail and forced it to stop.

Fireball!

Ning Yanlan had more combat experience than Jiang Yuan. Before she could react, she unleashed the largest fireball she had ever fired, and the fireball landed squarely in the mouth of the Gale Leopard.

The power of both ice and fire elements exploded in the mouth of the Gale Leopard, blowing up most of its mouth in one blow, and even blasting a large hole in its head. However, the Gale Leopard was extremely resilient and did not die completely despite such terrible injuries.

"Die!" Jiang Yuan leaped up, wielding a short dagger, and landed on the back of the Gale Leopard. The dagger, along with his hand, plunged into the Gale Leopard's body, piercing its heart without hesitation.

Jiang Yuan stretched his entire arm into the Gale Leopard's chest cavity, unleashing twenty-five points of strength energy, and crushed its entire heart with one hand.

"Bloodlust level increased!"

"Bloodlust level increased!"

At this moment, the feedback from the bloodlust was getting stronger and stronger to Jiang Yuan, and he could clearly feel his power increasing little by little.

A golden hue appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes, which he discreetly put away. As for the Holy Spirit Stones from the monster, he would collect them all after the battle.

"Jiang Yuan, are you alright!" Ning Yanlan clutched her chest. She had been scared half to death just now, not only when she was pounced on by the Gale Leopard, but also when Jiang Yuan was hit in the back by that terrifying wind cannon. In her eyes, Jiang Yuan was not only a combat partner, but also a 'friend' with whom she had had deep conversations.

"I'm not going to die yet!" Jiang Yuan grinned, forcing a smile.

"The Light of Nature!"

Despite having exhausted her spiritual energy to the limit, Ning Yanlan still unleashed a green light, which entered Jiang Yuan's body to heal his injuries.

Ning Yanlan only has four points of spiritual energy. The reason she has been able to persist for so long is entirely due to her strong willpower and unique cultivation technique. The power that a single point of spiritual energy condensed by a good cultivation technique can exert far exceeds that of an ordinary cultivation technique.

Just like two cars with the same engine, the fuel consumption of a good engine and a bad engine can be very different, not to mention that the difference between cultivation techniques is much greater than that of engines.

"Thank you!" Jiang Yuan could see that Ning Yanlan had reached her limit, but she still healed him without hesitation. There was no way to refuse this kindness, and he would repay her in the same way. It was an unspoken understanding.

Ning Yanlan smiled but didn't speak. She simply swallowed a Spirit Awakening Pill and waited for her spiritual energy to recover so she could continue fighting.

"I'm running out of energy!" Xu Feng's expression darkened considerably. There were just too many monsters, and he was almost the only one defending against them, so his stamina was being depleted the fastest among them.

ā€œI’m almost there too!ā€ Xu Lian said.

The four people were in sync, so they knew when Ning Yanlan and Jiang Yuan used the restorative medicine. However, the four were a temporary team formed only to survive, so it was impossible for them to share the supplies together. That's why Xu Feng and the others spoke up.

In this situation, if one is lost, all will be lost. If they lose their fighting ability, then Ning Yanlan and Jiang Yuan will also be unable to hold on.

"I can give you the recovery medicine, but we two will split 80% of the spoils from this battle!"

Jiang Yuan conveyed his thoughts and then said, "Don't feel like you've lost out. The value of this Spirit Awakening Pill is no less than that of a first-tier Holy Spirit Stone. This is something that Yan Lan and I risked our lives to obtain, so you should pay the price!"

Xu Feng frowned, feeling a little resentful, but Xu Lian immediately said, "Okay, but if one of us dies, the other will not fight!"

This is a clear threat. It's obvious that after entrusting their lives to each other, the two have become aware of the deceit and treachery in this world, and now they only trust each other.

"Agreed!" Jiang Yuan barely hesitated before tossing over two bottles of Spirit Awakening Pills. "Ten pills per bottle, use them sparingly!"

Xu Feng and Xu Lian each took a bottle. Xu Feng took one first and then said after a while, "The pill is good, it can be used in battle!"

Xu Lian then put it away with peace of mind.

"I'll share your burden!" Jiang Yuan plugged the gap and began killing the monsters.

He now regrets not finding a suitable weapon. Although his strength is extremely high, without quantity leading to quality, a good weapon would at least make him much stronger and less timid.

The monster was approaching, but Jiang Yuan and the others would not show any mercy. This was a battle of life and death. If they lost their position, they would face death, while the monster could retreat even if it couldn't break through. From the outset, the monster had already lost.

One side was drawn by the light of the Holy Spirit Fortress, while the other was driven by the will to survive; it's easy to tell who was more ruthless.
