Zhao Qingke was confused.
Tomorrow, in the sky, she suddenly felt a chill enveloping her, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, spreading all the way up from her back, emitting a chilling chill that penetrated her bones and made her hair stand on end.
The girl's hands holding the sword were shaking, and her calves were also trembling.
"No, it's impossible—" Her lips trembled, "You, you are playing me?"
The serious injury was fake, the weakness was also fake. Gu Qiongsheng pretended to be so fragile and tired, just to lure her into a trap?
Gu Qiongsheng swung his hand back, and his mental power surged, throwing Zhao Qingke away heavily.
She stood up straight, touched her ears with her slender white fingers, and casually tucked her loose black hair behind her ears, tilting her head slightly: "It's not all fake."
"I was indeed very weak when you rushed over just now."
Such an intense battle consumed all of Gu Qiongsheng's energy, and her blue bar was almost empty. When Zhao Qingke stabbed her, she was actually startled.
Fortunately, a moment later, the system prompt sound popped up in time:
[Defeat 1 Riftworm, experience +12000]
[Defeat 1 Silent Bug Baby, EXP +12000]
[Beep, team battle detected, experience bonus being distributed...]
[Beep, cross-level challenge detected, additional rewards are being distributed...]
Hualalalal, a lot of experience points are added.
Along with a loud and pleasant prompt sound, generous experience rewards surged like a tide, instantly filling up Gu Qiongsheng's character experience bar. The [Upgrade] button flashed continuously, and in Gu Qiongsheng's eyes, it emitted a glimmer of joy and excitement.
She suppressed the urge to upgrade immediately, and with her remaining mental strength, she exchanged a few simple moves with Zhao Qingke.
Only after he had gotten the words he wanted from the girl and recorded her ugly face did Gu Qiongsheng press the system pop-up window in a split second.
Upgrade on the spot and fill up the blue bar!
Use all the healing skills on yourself and revive with full health!
Gu Qiongsheng twisted his arms to relax his muscles and bones, and let out a long sigh.
She fired a few more skills in the direction where her teammates fell, then stretched out her right hand, flipped her slender fingers in mid-air, and her mental power quickly condensed in her palm, forming a meteor hammer.
Swinging the meteor hammer that was as big as a watermelon, Gu Qiongsheng didn't bother to worry about moving flexibly. He swung the long chain and relied on brute force to suppress Zhao Qingke and beat him up.
The sledgehammer is not Gu Qiongsheng's usual weapon.
But at this moment, she really wanted to use it.
Because it feels really good to swing it and smash it!
And she wasn't afraid of being defeated—before the match, with Gu Qiongsheng's skills, defeating Zhao Qingke was easy. Now that she had gone through several life-and-death battles and her mental strength had improved, fighting Zhao Qingke again was like teasing a chick.
The wind was cold and the dust was flying.
Zhao Qingke was frightened by the previous "shocking reversal" and was hit by the huge hammer without being able to fight back. He frantically defended himself and retreated hastily. His back foot accidentally stepped into a crack and he fell headfirst with a "thump".
The huge hammer grazed her cheek and slammed heavily onto the ground, splashing countless mud.
Zhao Qingke was lying face down on the ground, with mud splashed by the huge hammer all over his head and body, and he looked in a miserable state.
Gu Qiongsheng walked straight up to the girl and looked down at her condescendingly.
He gently turned the chain in his hand and easily switched it into a spike, with the sharp edge pointing at the side of Zhao Qingke's neck.
A chill was approaching the aorta, and the sharp feeling was just around the corner.
If you move even a little, your throat will be cut.
Zhao Qingke couldn't help but tremble, filled with hatred and fear. She bit her lips, leaving a bloody mark, and dug her slender fingers into the ground, scratching deep scratches in the dirt.
Crawling at Gu Qiongsheng's feet in this most embarrassing and humiliating posture, Zhao Qingke was in so much pain that he wished he could die.
But when Gu Qiongsheng's wrist trembled slightly, the sharp thorns touched her delicate skin, and the metallic chill penetrated into her blood. Zhao Qingke suddenly became very scared and whimpered softly: "Don't, don't kill me, the examiner is watching..."
"...Oh," Gu Qiongsheng drawled, emphasizing each word, "You know, the examiner is watching."
Zhao Qingke closed his eyes in pain.
The examiner is watching - how is that possible?
The Silent Bug hasn't died yet, but the Silent Domain has clearly not been lifted.
How could Gu Qiongsheng possibly repair the camera under such circumstances?
This is outrageous and ridiculous!
Zhao Qing really hoped that everything he saw was just a dream.
But the sharp stinging sensation approaching her neck clearly told her that all this was real.
Gu Qiongsheng recorded the scene of her taking advantage of the situation and the words she shouted impulsively. The camera transmitted the data back to the spacecraft in real time. Everything was a foregone conclusion.
——She’s finished!
She is finished!!
Zhao Qingke lay on the ground in despair, her heart filled with anger and frustration about to explode. A voice whispered in her ear: Go ahead and hit Gu Qiongsheng's spikes. If she kills you, she won't have an easy time either!
The girl gritted her teeth.
Twisted thoughts of revenge spread wildly in her mind like lush weeds, but the cold wind pressing against her neck made her panic all the time.
You will die.
The consequence of doing that would be her death.
She doesn't want to die...
After struggling for a long time, Zhao Qingke finally gave up struggling and collapsed to the ground in despair.
The girl was trembling and sobbing softly. Her tears mixed with the mud and sand on the ground, sticking to her nose and cheeks, making her look as miserable as a beggar.
Gu Qiongsheng frowned slightly.
She noticed what Zhao Qingke was thinking just now and was practicing her skills, thinking that even if this guy bumped into her and bit her back, she could still save Zhao Qingke's life.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Qingke didn't even have this little courage.
Tsk, that’s true.
How could a person who didn't dare to show his face during the entire battle have the courage to die?
Shaking his head, Gu Qiongsheng put away the spikes, ignored the girl lying on the ground like a pile of mud, and turned to walk towards his teammates.
After taking a few steps, her ears moved slightly and she suddenly heard a loud noise.
A large number of creatures are running from afar.
It sounded like horse hooves trampling the earth, or like metal scraping across the rock, stirring up huge amounts of dust and creating a sandstorm-like effect on the horizon.
Gu Qiongsheng clenched the sharp thorn vigilantly, opened his eyes wide, and felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.
Is it... rescue?
The person coming was moving very fast.
In the blink of an eye, they were only a few hundred meters away from Gu Qiongsheng.
Gu Qiongsheng finally saw the true appearance of those things through the flying dust - the nine rift worms flying from afar were actually the same rift worms from before. They were the rift worms that returned immediately after receiving the sound wave call from the silent worms!
The cold wind blew in his face, and Gu Qiongsheng felt a chill in his heart.
Their team paid such a terrible price to deal with a rift worm and a silent worm.
Now we have to deal with 9 more?
Oh my God, this is going to kill her!
The mood that had just relaxed a little suddenly became extremely heavy again. Gu Qiongsheng gritted his teeth, and the spikes in his palms turned into silk threads again, one after another, trying to seal the area in front of him.
Beside him, Zhao Qingke, who was lying limp on the ground, suddenly burst into a burst of crazy laughter.
"Hahahaha!" She laughed loudly, her features ferocious and terrifying. "It's no use, no one will survive. Run away, Gu Qiongsheng, run away like a deserter!"
"If you're any later, everyone will die, including you!"
Gu Qiongsheng's head hurt because of her noise, so she swung her hand back, and a thin line brushed against Zhao Qingke's scalp.
Zhao Qingke's wild laughter suddenly stopped.
She felt a cool sensation on her scalp and raised her hands to cover her head in fear, but she only pulled out a handful of hair.
"If you keep talking, I'll chop your head off."
Gu Qiongsheng said coldly.
Zhao Qingke, who has always loved beauty: "..."
Zhao Qingke lay on the ground, his face flushed with anger. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "...I have to die anyway."
Gu Qiongsheng ignored it, took a deep breath, and grasped the silk thread in his palm.
Facing the 9 rift worms that were rushing towards her, she didn't dodge or give way, but rushed straight forward!
Under Zhao Qingke's stunned gaze, the girl's body drew a graceful arc in the air, with thousands of silk threads fluttering like drizzling rain, extremely graceful, yet containing the ultimate murderous intent -
He actually wanted to resist all Zergs by his own strength!
The hatred in Zhao Qingke's heart grew stronger and stronger, like a burning flame, licking her heart again and again.
Why didn't Gu Qiongsheng show any fear even at this time?
Isn't she afraid of death?
Not afraid of those ugly bugs?
Obviously, I could have escaped alone—
She left her unconscious teammate as bait and used her seriously injured friend to buy time. She could have escaped alone first!
Indescribable jealousy twisted her mind and stung her chest.
Why not escape? Zhao Qingke thought incomprehensibly, why not escape?
It was like this before, and it has always been like this.
The stronger the girl walking beside her is, the more she highlights her weakness; the more optimistic she is, the more she highlights her darkness; the more outstanding she is, the more she highlights her uselessness.
She can't compare to anything and can't compete with anything.
Still now.
Zhao Qingke's eyes suddenly turned red.
A strong urge to cry surged in my heart.
It was obvious that they would be chopped into pieces by the insects in the next moment, but looking at Gu Qiongsheng rushing forward without hesitation, the girl suddenly realized clearly: she lost again.
The defeat was more complete and more tragic.
She never won.
Not once.
The sounds of battle rang out, the clashing of metal and stone, accompanied by the sharp screams of riftworms. Zhao Qingke stopped struggling and simply closed his eyes, quietly waiting for death to come.
A moment later, she suddenly heard a stronger sound of wind.
Something fell from the sky, like a meteorite, carrying tremendous firepower, and smashed straight into the ground covered with cracks!
All the fissure insects surrounding Gu Qiongsheng were thrown into disarray by the collapsed ground in an instant and fell into the ground one after another.
They screamed in anger, brandished their blades, and emerged from the ground—
However, they were swept by a long stick, which was wrapped with flowing thunder and hit their foreheads fiercely. The powerful thunder was transmitted along the blood in an instant, wrapping all the rift worms in the terrifying thunder plasma!
Gu Qiongsheng was safely protected in the back.
The lander was thrown aside, and in the mess, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou smashed his long stick to the ground, his long hair fluttering in the wind. He turned around and made an "OK" gesture to Gu Qiongsheng.
"Don't be afraid, it's all over."
Her voice was extremely gentle, as if she was afraid of scaring Gu Qiongsheng. It was completely different from the violent and thunderous tone she displayed.
"We are here, you are all safe."
