Chapter 226: Limit Breakthrough, a Ridiculous Advancement
Hou Ting said seriously, "Half a month, just another half a month. If the three of us don't make a breakthrough, we'll go back to base, okay?"
Seeing the seriousness in the eyes of her three best friends, Yin Shan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay, I'll take you to find the mutant beast."
Hou Ting refused: "No, with you following us, we don't believe we will die anyway."
Yin Shan said helplessly, "Do you think you can believe me if I don't follow you? It will only take a few seconds for me to reach you. Let's wait until these guys are far away and then go find the mutant beasts."
Sima Feng and others outside the space made up their minds and headed towards the Spark Base.
After about 20 minutes, dust rose outside the space, and the frightened mutant antelopes kept running towards Yin Shan and the others.
Yin Shan's eyes lit up. "You guys are really lucky. It seems like something is chasing these mutant antelopes."
Wang Lu was helpless: "The mutant antelopes are not of high level, and the mutant beasts chasing them may not be what we want."
Yin Shan smiled without saying anything, and when the time was right, he threw the three people out of the space.
The next moment, Hou Ting angrily exclaimed, "Oh my god!? Who can tell me that scorpions are eating antelopes these days!?"
Without time to sigh, Wang Lu had already arranged the air shield, and Ji Yang also began to use wind blades to continuously attack the mutant scorpion in front of him that was as tall as two people.
Hou Ting's eyes flickered. She felt that reaching level 100 wasn't just a matter of life and death, as Yin Shan had suggested. Perhaps there was another way, the so-called "break through and then stand up again." If their superpowers were exhausted and they had no external aid, perhaps they could kill the mutant scorpion. They couldn't wait for a level 100 mutant beast to come to them, and searching the world for it was unrealistic.
Although there seem to be many level 100 mutant beasts, in fact these things are definitely rare, and they don’t have that much time to look for them.
The mutant scorpion in front of him was obviously not at level 100, but should be above level 95 or 99. The damage caused to it by Ji Yang's wind blade was very limited. If it was a mutant scorpion above level 100, these wind blades would not even cause any damage.
After making up her mind, Hou Ting shared her guess with Wang Lu and Ji Yang.
The two of them had no objection. It was just a matter of exhausting their special abilities, so they just moved around and fought.
It was really difficult for Wang Lu to exhaust her special powers, not to mention that she actually had no means of attack. She could only try her best to trap the scorpion in their range of activity to prevent it from escaping.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu said calmly: "You two try to consume as much energy as possible, I will trap it. Don't let it get out of hand. Even if it is level 99, the three of us can still take it down. Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, we'll find a way to kill it."
The two nodded. Ji Yang still chose the wind blade, while Hou Ting continued to attack with fire bombs. The mutant scorpion couldn't hit anyone for a long time. Although the wind blade and fire bombs couldn't cause much damage to it, they still stimulated its ferocity.
The scorpion's tail was raised high, and the next moment, countless poisonous needles shot out from the scorpion's tail.
Hou Ting screamed, "Oh my god, this thing is almost as fast as a bullet!"
Yin Shan kept observing in the space. This mutant scorpion should be very close to breaking through level 100. In this battle, either the three of them would break through, or this mutant scorpion would kill them and break through.
All the poison needles were blocked by Wang Lu's air shield, but the huge number of poison needles still consumed a lot of Wang Lu's superpowers. Her eyes lit up: "Keep stimulating it! Go for it!!"
The two people wandering outside were quite depressed: "Why don't you just stand there and don't move, don't you feel the pain in your waist?"
After nearly an hour of fighting, the mutant scorpion didn't attack any of the three people, but Hou Ting and Ji Yang's attacks didn't cause much damage either. It was just that the scorpion's weakness had been discovered.
Although its tail is its sharp weapon, it is also its weak point. Hou Ting's gravity ability has never been used, and Ji Yang's ability is only enough for one black lightning attack.
However, their luck was not as good as the three of them had imagined. The next moment, the scorpion screamed, and a strong airflow directly swept the three of them away. Even Wang Lu's air shield could not withstand this airflow.
Yin Shan's face was solemn inside the space. This scorpion had broken through...
After the breakthrough, the mutant scorpion did not choose to kill the three people who had fallen to the ground immediately, but instead started to play with them like it had done before.
Its tail was raised high, and the next second it pierced into Hou Ting's waist and threw her away.
Cough cough cough!
Hou Ting collapsed to the ground, blood gushing out of her mouth. She muttered, "It's not bad. The damage is much less than when Shanshan was pierced by the spider's leg. You stinky scorpion, I'm still alive!"
She swallowed a Shennong Herbal Pill with great difficulty, then took the hemostatic pill that Yin Shan had created after obtaining the spirit of the weapon. She lay down quietly and pretended to wait for death. She wanted to regain some strength...
But the mutant scorpion had no intention of letting her go, and its tail stabbed towards Hou Ting again. Wang Lu cut her wrist and used the blood on her wrist to continuously apply an air shield to Hou Ting, trying to help her block the attack.
Ji Yang also staggered to his feet and wanted to fly over to help Hou Ting block it.
Yin Shan stood up. She really couldn't bear to watch...
The next moment, Yin Shan, who was about to leave the space, opened his mouth in surprise. This is actually possible!?
As for the reason for her surprise, it was all because of Hou Ting’s shout and what happened next.
Hou Ting: "Ahhh! You bastard, soften up! I'm going to chop you to death!!!"
Then, as if using all her strength, she used her gravity ability to delay the scorpion's tail's attack, then took out her superpower gun, aimed at the scorpion's tail and shot.
The next moment, the hard shell of the scorpion's tail exploded as if it didn't exist.
Ji Yang took this opportunity to use black lightning, instantly covering the entire body of the mutant scorpion.
And then...Scorpion got confused.
Yin Shan flashed out of the space, and pulled the scorpion corpse and three girlfriends into the space, quickly transmitting them to Guan Yunhua.
Guan Yunhua was also shocked when he saw the wound on Hou Ting's abdomen and immediately began treatment.
Sure enough, the spirit of the weapon did not lie. Guan Yunhua's treatment lasted for about an hour. Apart from a significant consumption of his supernatural powers, he did not feel any loss of vitality.
Although Hou Ting's injuries were healed, the depletion of her superpowers still left her extremely weak. However, this did not affect her good mood. "Did Ji Yang break through? I saw her electrocute that scorpion!"
Yin Shan was speechless and said, "It wasn't Ji Yang who broke through, it was you who broke through. Didn't you feel it?"
Hou Ting: "Ah? No, really. I feel so weak right now that even Huihui could slap me to death."
Huihui: I jump up and shoot you?!
Yin Shan said: "If I'm not mistaken, you should have a domain. Within the scope of your domain, you are the master, forcing the mutant scorpion's shell to become soft and sticky, so Ji Yang was able to succeed in his attack.
Otherwise, your shot, even though the mutant gun had an amplification effect, wouldn't have been enough to break the defense of a level 100 mutant beast. Furthermore, you missed the target and only hit half of it."
Hou Ting: ....You don’t have to tell anyone about the fact that I hit the wrong target!
Guan Yunhua smiled and said, "Don't use the recovery fluid. The three of you have used up all your abilities. Just recover slowly. Even if Ji Yang and Wang Lu haven't broken through yet, they should be close."
Hou Ting and the other two had no objections; they truly wanted to rest. Hou Ting's worst-case scenario was to exhaust her superpowers and then use her superpower gun to kill the mutant scorpion. But she didn't expect the plan to go too far, as the mutant scorpion broke through and nearly killed the three of them.
Her guess was ultimately not confirmed.
Looking at the three people sleeping soundly, Yin Shan found his parents and said straight to the point, "Those Taotie seem to have evolved wisdom, or rather, the leader of their species has gained wisdom.
They can even use human psychics to try to break through our defense walls."
Yin Zhiwen frowned and said, "I used to think the defensive wall was made of materials other than this world, but since the Heavenly Dao and Destruction are on opposite sides, then Taotie should be able to break through, right?"
Yin Shan said, "I originally thought so, but I don't think it's that simple. If Taotie can break through this kind of wall material, then why are they suppressed in Kunlun Mountain all the time?
I think this material must have a taboo, so these Taotie dare not touch it at all. That's why they thought of using humans to attack us.
After all, this material is not harmful to humans."
Guan Yunhua said, "In that case, there's no need to lure them out. We are the Taotie's greatest enemy, so they will definitely destroy the Spark Base at all costs. We just need to wait, right? They won't dare approach the city walls anyway."
Yin Shan said, "I wouldn't dare to gamble. Even if the Taotie really can't touch the city wall, our superpowers will be exhausted. Once all of our superpowers are exhausted, the Taotie will still continue to attack the city. In addition, they have bribed human superpowers, so it will be easy for them to kill us.
As long as we die, it doesn't matter if they don't come to this area, because the biggest enemy will no longer exist. As long as their numbers are large enough, it's only a matter of time before they wipe out other species.
By then, there will be no hope for the Way of Heaven, and we will have lost.
We are giving them an opening now, making them think that we have a breakthrough, so that we can kill them on a large scale before their numbers grow to a level that makes us despair.
I can't guarantee that this army is all there is. Even if it is, there is a group of them suppressed at the foot of Kunlun Mountain... I think that group of Taotie is what gives us the most headaches.
Therefore, the fewer Taotie that give us headaches, the better, and the more level 100 esperants we have, the better."
Yin Zhiwen said helplessly, "Do we really have any hope? You've seen the reproductive abilities of the Taotie, but so far, there have been many couples in our base, but no woman has become pregnant again. It seems that human reproduction has come to an end."
Yin Shan said, "No, there is still hope. There are still so many ordinary survivors. The bodies of those with superpowers are beyond ordinary people, but the survivors are still the same as before! As long as we can win, we can at least gain 20 years of peace.
It's just about training more people with special abilities. We all have experience, don't we?"
Guan Yunhua said: "The current world of Tiandao is simply in trouble both internally and externally. There are mutant beasts eyeing us covetously. The enemy has come to our door, but we are still playing with self-consumption. There are also traitors who have turned to Taotie..."
Yin Shan said helplessly, "We just can't control how to break through the hundredth level. Hou Ting's breakthrough this time seems to be a breakthrough between life and death, but neither you nor Dad have that. I originally thought that maybe we could control the rules of breaking through the hundredth level. In this case, the few of us, together with the Cangshan team and the talented players, can do it.
This means we'll have over ten level 100 superpowers, and we'll be able to mobilize even more natural energy. This is a world of Heavenly Dao, after all, and good will always prevail over evil!"
At this time, Secretary He came to report that Sima Feng and others had arrived at the outskirts of the base. Qin Lei recognized him and hoped that we could take him in.
Yin Shan narrowed his eyes slightly. Qin Lei knew him?
After looking at their parents, the tacit understanding among the three of them made them nod in unison.
Guan Yunhua rejected Qin Lei's request and asked Secretary He to keep Yin Shan's affairs at the base confidential.
Yin Shan secretly invited Li Bo to come.
Yin Zhiwen simply strengthened the protection of the city walls under the pretext of training.
Li Bo looked at Yin Shan. He was already tired of the fact that Yin Shan and the others came and went without a trace. One second you thought they were not there, and the next second they appeared in front of you, slapping you in the face.
Li Bo asked, "Do you not trust Qin Lei or what?"
Yin Shan said, "I believe Qin Lei has no bad intentions, but how can I change his saintly character?"
Li Bo said helplessly, "Sima Feng and Qin Lei were once comrades-in-arms. He naturally believes that his comrades would not betray the country. It's easy to turn the tables. Aren't you just trying to lure the snake out of its hole? Let Qin Lei see it with his own eyes, wouldn't that be better?"
Yin Shan was helpless: "I'm afraid that even so, he still can't bring himself to kill his former comrades. Take Sima Feng for example, Qin Lei isn't the only one who knows him, right? There should be many people in the military base who know him.
Aside from my original team members, the military base has the most people left. If they can't make a move, and there are internal and external troubles, won't I be asking for trouble?"
She was not worried that the strength of Sima Feng and others would pose a threat to her. She was just considering the morale of the army. Killing her former colleagues was not something that ordinary people could do.
Although she knew the system and knew that everyone in the Spark Base had 100% loyalty to her, what if someone's loyalty dropped after she killed a colleague? Even if it dropped just a little, Yin Shan would be suspicious. What would she do then?
Kill those team members who only lost a little loyalty?
Or should we just leave it alone and let them guess on their own?
The human heart is the most unpredictable thing. Even with the support of the system, Yin Shan dared not slack off at all.
Li Bo said, "According to what you said, Sima Feng is actually still the same as before. He's not particularly good at disguising his emotions. If you just reveal a little to Qin Lei, he'll understand. After all, he's been struggling in the apocalypse for so many years."
