Chapter 98 True Name
The Cyclops are all level 2 monsters, and they are easy to deal with once their defenses are broken.
After half an hour of work, there weren't many one-eyed bug monsters left on site.
Jiang Baiyue wiped away her sweat, her hand holding the crossbow was a little stiff, and she only went in to pick up the dropped items after no more one-eyed insect monsters emerged from the narrow hole.
Having used up a lot of crossbow bolts, Jiang Baiyue stopped and used the workbench to replenish 1,500 bolts before setting off again with her men.
Thanks to the upgraded workbench, the production time for many items has been greatly reduced.
Having witnessed the power of a lazy bum, Wang Leran felt that her chances of getting out this time were much greater.
As soon as the word "set off" was mentioned, she was the first to move, closely following the mercenary in front of her, taking out biscuits to lower her hunger level as she walked.
One person looked through Liang Feiwen at the person in front of him, his expression thoughtful, his head lowered as he suppressed his wildly beating heart.
His talent is the stripping of one's true name.
That's amazing. Just by knowing someone's real name, you can strip them of their abilities.
This includes talent, special abilities, physical fitness, knowledge, appearance, and so on.
He was initially overjoyed, but then he found himself trapped inside the cave with no way out, and his talent remained unused.
Wang Leran's talent for drawing pictures of cakes to satisfy hunger seems quite good; in this cave where food is scarce, it could help him survive.
But that's all.
Beyond the area of the Cyclops monsters, there are scattered climbing zombies.
These monsters each occupied a separate area, preventing other monsters from encroaching upon it, which made things convenient for Jiang Baiyue and her group, as they didn't have to worry about being attacked from both sides.
The climbing zombies are all level 2 monsters, not many in number, and easy to deal with.
Jiang Baiyue looked at the body sac in the middle of the fork in the road ahead. They had already cleaned one of the body sacs when they arrived.
Two more corpse sacs have appeared. The corpse sacs are not very big, which is probably why the level of the climbing zombies is not high.
Jiang Baiyue stopped the mercenaries from shooting and decided to go around them.
Although the people behind didn't understand why the lying-down salted fish didn't clean the sac, they still followed closely, their bodies trembling.
After walking for another half hour, the group of people following behind could no longer walk.
Jiang Baiyue glanced at the map and decided to stop and rest.
Over seven days, she explored a fairly large area. Since these people were taking a break, she wanted to check the routes and see if there were any shortcuts or safer routes.
"Hello, do you have anything to eat? We'll buy some. I really can't offer that many more 'pie in the sky' (meaning I can't offer anything else)."
Wang Leran blushed and nervously fidgeted with her hands.
Jiang Baiyue glanced at Gu Tiangang, who was pale and covered in sweat, and then, remembering that Gu Zilin had done a lot of work for her, she took out 13 compressed biscuits and 3 bottles of mineral water.
Jiang Baiyue: "I'll take your 290 coins."
Before Jiang Baiyue entered the space-time rift, a bottle of mineral water was sold for 10 coins, and compressed biscuits, with a shelf life of 10 days, were priced at 20 coins, but there was no market for them.
Wang Leran's eyes welled up with tears again. She didn't know what else to say to express her gratitude. She felt that she was just too much trouble and wanted to give up.
"Thank you, thank you."
Wang Leran took them back and gave each person a compressed biscuit. Each person was only allowed to take a sip of the three bottles of mineral water.
What's the situation outside?
A hoarse voice rang out.
Jiang Baiyue looked over and saw a man with a buzz cut sitting on the ground, swallowing compressed biscuits with a difficult expression.
Wang Leran took the initiative to tell the "lying-flat salted fish" the man's name: "This is Wang Ze."
"Um... my name is Wang Ze. Thank you for giving us food; I'll definitely repay you tenfold once we get out. What's your name?"
Jiang Baiyue tossed a box of antidepressants to Wang Leran: "Lie down, you lazy bum. These are antidepressants, one for each of you. I don't want you to suddenly go crazy and cause trouble."
Wang Ze's eyes flickered: "That's your nickname, right? How's it outside? Are there so many monsters there too? What's your real name?"
"My name is Liang Feiwen, and I'm considered the team leader, but I'm really not very useful. Because talent is related to combat, everyone elected me as the team leader, but I really am not very useful..."
Jiang Baiyue looked at Wang Leran, pointed at Liang Feiwen and said, "...give him two pills."
Seeing that he was interrupted again, Wang Ze felt frustrated and had no choice but to give up for the time being.
After resting for 20 minutes, they set off again. Considering the physical strength and condition of the people behind them, Jiang Baiyue led them to try to take the path of lower-level monsters.
After passing through the area where the spider monsters were located, the roads became interconnected, resembling a spider web.
"The ground is shaking!"
Xia Wenjing suddenly shouted loudly, her voice trembling.
Jiang Baiyue stopped mining. She also sensed the source of the sound—to her left front!
With a loud bang, the stone wall was violently smashed open, and a white-skinned, fanged, single-eyed creature emerged.
Jiang Baiyue instinctively fired a crossbow bolt.
【Cyclops King - Abnormal (Earth) (Lv5: 1800/1800)】
"Aa ...
"Monster!! The monster is coming!"
A scream came from behind Jiang Baiyue, but she ignored it and immediately threw a fireball at the One-Eyed Insect King.
-63
-53
-10
-71
...
The fat worm was four or five times the size of the little one-eyed worm monster from before. As soon as it crawled out of the hole, it completely blocked the passage.
The one-eyed insect king swung its two forelimbs, causing rocks to fall from the stone wall.
A group of people retreated urgently.
Bang bang bang—!
Large chunks of rock were thrown out, scattering the group. One person was hit in the back by a large rock and fell to the ground.
Wang Leran wanted to help, but then she heard a cracking sound of bones breaking, and the person's blood level dropped to zero immediately.
It's hopeless... Wang Leran turned and ran.
The mercenaries fought back while closing in on Jiang Baiyue.
Jiang Baiyue threw a Molotov cocktail, which was knocked away by a stone thrown by the One-Eyed Insect King. The explosion blasted the stone wall next to it, scattering stones everywhere.
Several screams rang out, and Jiang Baiyue only had time to throw a few shields behind her.
"Take your own shield!"
Amidst the flying dust and gravel, a few people mustered their courage to try and pry open the shields.
The 16 mercenaries opened fire, their firepower relentless, preventing the Cyclops King from getting any closer.
Flames and sparks appeared alternately, accompanied by a continuous series of explosions.
After the monster's health dropped by about a third, Jiang Baiyue threw out a Molotov cocktail and then unleashed a Fire Rain.
As soon as the fire rain was unleashed, the Cyclops King's health dropped by half again, and the smell of burning rubber grew stronger.
Eeya—!
The One-Eyed Insect King roared, and a whooshing sound came from the flames.
Jiang Baiyue immediately raised her shield!
Several sounds of metal being pierced rang out, and upon closer inspection, the shield had been pierced by the Cyclops King's sharp fangs.
"So sharp!" Without thinking, Jiang Baiyue put the shield with sharp fangs into her backpack and took out a police shield, holding it in front of her for defense.
The Cyclops King lost several hundred more health points, and its voice even changed tone.
From the hole behind it, a white wave surged forth, filled with tiny one-eyed worm monsters.
A cyan wind blade passed through her head. Jiang Baiyue turned around and saw Liang Feiwen raising his hand to unleash his supernatural power.
Gu Tiangang's palm was also flashing with an earthy brown light. Jiang Baiyue turned around, and sharp earth spikes emerged from under the One-Eyed Insect King.
It's amazing that out of 13 people, only 2 are superhumans, they were able to survive in the cave for 45 days.
At the last moment, the One-Eyed Insect King charged forward despite the heavy fire, unstoppable. A mercenary grabbed Jiang Baiyue by the shoulder and pulled her aside.
The others screamed as they dodged in terror.
