Chapter 30: The decisive battle begins

Outside the base city, at the west gate.

A figure was scurrying over from a distance, with a large animal hide package on its back, filled with materials cut from monsters. He looked a little disheveled, with torn animal hide armor revealing his muscular body, and his black hair was mixed with a lot of minced meat.

whoosh!

When he arrived at the city gate, he rushed in without any pause.

When the people guarding the city saw this man, they were all stunned, and then they looked at each other in astonishment, saying, "Isn't this Commander Yun?"

With Yun Shaojing's return, the base city instantly became boiling. Many military camps, and even many generals in the general camps, turned their attention to this man. The news of Yun Shaojing's return quickly spread throughout the base city.

In a villa.

Yun Shaojing changed into some casual clothes and lay comfortably beside the pool. He casually asked a middle-aged man next to him, "Did anything change in the base city during my absence?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a smile, "There is no change. The people in Huabuluo are all very honest. However, the man who was very close to Miss Murong recently issued a letter of challenge to you, which caused a lot of trouble in the city."

"Letter of challenge?" Yun Shaojing raised his eyebrows, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "How dare a little general challenge my dignity? You don't know how to live or die!" After a pause, he frowned and said, "Was it Hua Bu Luo who ordered this?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Hua Bu Luo has already expelled him. This person is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He wants to snatch Miss Murong from you. It is simply wishful thinking!"

Yun Shaojing sneered, “It’s okay. He’s just a little ant. I wanted to let him jump around for a while, but now he wants to die. I’ll help him. It just so happens that we have gained a lot of strength in the wild this time, so I’ll use him to practice! Notify everyone, starting at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning, to have all the battalion commanders and above in the base city come here. It would be best if that old man Murong De comes as well!”

Murong De is the commander-in-chief of the base city.

"Let the commander-in-chief come as well?" The middle-aged man was stunned. This was a bit difficult. The commander-in-chief was busy with all kinds of affairs and would not care about the challenge between the general and the commander. It was not easy to invite him to watch the game.

Yun Shaojing sneered and said, "I will take this opportunity to let him see my current strength. It will definitely shock him and make those who plan to control the base city from Xiaoxue give up the idea!"

"Young Master is really smart!" The middle-aged man smiled and flattered him, saying, "I'll do it right away. I guarantee that the news will spread like wildfire in the base city and everyone will know about it!"

Yun Shaojing nodded slightly and closed his eyes.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything more and retreated obediently.

As the news spread, with the exaggerated publicity, most people in the base city knew about Ye Chen's challenge to Yun Shaojing, including the women in the luxurious places. They also heard a funny thing from the guests when they were relaxing. A major general actually challenged a senior commander. This was simply like an egg hitting a stone and banging his head against a wall...seeking death!

"Have you heard? There's a general named Ye something who wants to challenge the senior commander!"

"How many levels are there between the two? Let me calculate it."

"Is this person crazy, or has he seen through life and doesn't want to live anymore?"

"Maybe this guy really has some skills."

Many people who were familiar with each other were talking about the hot topics in the city.

Not long after Murong Xue left, Ye Chen received a notice from the competition: it will start at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning!

Ye Chen took a look at it and threw it on the table casually. He put on a robe made of the fur of a level 55 three-eyed wolf, left the house, and walked out of the base city. "There is still some time. If I practice like this, my strength will increase too slowly. I have to find some natural treasures to chew on."

The sky was grey.

Ye Chen left the base city and headed east. This side was close to the suburbs and there were not many buildings. Moreover, under the destruction of monsters, many buildings had collapsed and were in ruins, with the walls covered with shocking large holes.

Along the way, they encountered many monsters, most of which were armored beetles, zombies, hundreds of small ant tides, insect tides, etc. If they were ordinary people, they would have no choice but to run away for their lives when facing these monsters. However, in front of Ye Chen, these monsters didn't even have the interest to let him kill them. It was such a waste of time.

Although he was walking among the ruins of the buildings and there were low-level monsters all along the way, Ye Chen did not relax at all. Monsters were everywhere in the apocalypse, and in places where there were many low-level monsters, there would often be powerful monsters, which were hard to guard against. Therefore, he would never turn on the superman mode until the very last moment. This was the only way to save his life. Otherwise, with a level 43 physique, he would only be considered a very weak level among the monsters on land!

The reason why the base city can be built in a world where monsters are rampant is not because humans are powerful, but because high-tech weapons such as nuclear weapons and atomic bombs are too terrifying, so they can blast out a piece of heaven and earth and kill all the monsters that come to attack the city.

"Squeak~~"

An evolved rat hid under a rubble and suddenly rushed towards Ye Chen, but Ye Chen had expected it and was not panicked at all. He stretched out his hand to strangle the evolved rat's neck and used his strength on his eyes.

In an instant, the world in front of his eyes changed. His pupils contained power and he could see the power of his opponent. The hair of the evolved mouse was emitting a turquoise aura. The aura floated up and after being away from the body for a distance, it broke off the connection with it and turned into many tiny particles, floating in the air and merging with the air.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This emerald green gas is the breath of life. Any life, including flowers, plants and trees, will emit the breath of life. Each person's breath of life changes with the food they eat and the energy they absorb. For example, if you eat well, you have sufficient breath of life, so your skin is plump and smooth. If you eat poorly, you absorb less energy from food, so your skin is dry and yellow, and has no elasticity.

Ye Chen looked at the evolved mouse and used all his strength in his palm to form a spiral vortex. Suddenly, he saw the emerald green aura rising from the evolved mouse, gathering towards his palm.

Take away the opponent's life energy!

The evolved mouse struggled desperately, and slapped Ye Chen with its claws, but did not cause any harm. With the massive loss of life energy, the skin of the evolved mouse gradually turned yellow and curled up. Its originally fat body also shriveled up quickly. Its body was filled with blood, and the life energy in its flesh and blood flowed into Ye Chen's body along the palm of its hand.

Bang!

Casually throwing away the corpse of the evolved mouse, Ye Chen felt the life energy in his body. He felt a warmth in his arms and an invisible gas flowing. It increased by one percent, which was equivalent to a whole night of meditation.

"This evolved mouse has not yet awakened its talent. This is the original life energy, not acquired through training. It does not carry any attributes, otherwise it would be impossible to absorb it."

Ye Chen sighed in his heart. Every life has its original life energy when it is born. The life energy he is using now is the life energy that is generated from the body after the flesh and blood have evolved to the extreme. It is acquired through training. However, because his whole body, including the brain, is still in the state of level 43 physique, he has not awakened his talent. Therefore, the life energy he is using now does not contain a trace of talent attribute.

This original life energy can be absorbed by anyone and it will not conflict with the original body. If the other party awakens their talent, the life energy will change its form and cannot be easily absorbed.

The evolved mouse, which had absorbed all of its life force, had become shrunken and its muscles had atrophied. It could no longer be controlled by the black worm, and its flesh and blood had lost all its nutrients and would soon rot.

Ye Chen moved and continued to search. Along the way, he encountered some small monsters that were not very smart, and he caught them one by one and absorbed their life energy. Not long after, the sky gradually darkened, and in the evening, the monsters came out to move around.

Ye Chen did not continue searching and turned back to the base city. Facts have proved that God does not favor him all the time. After a busy afternoon, he did not find any medicinal herbs to increase his strength. He only knew the appearance of these medicinal herbs, but did not know where they were born. It was normal that he did not find them. After all, such precious medicinal herbs could not be found everywhere.

Nevertheless, after an afternoon of hard work and absorbing the life energy of many monsters, he felt that he was not far from the second level.

After a night's rest, I slept until nine o'clock the next day, then got up, washed, had breakfast, put on my robe and went to the arena.
