Chapter 4 Why?
Underground humanoid.
The most common creature in the Cinder Zone of the Catacombs.
They have body proportions similar to humans, but are hairless and eyeless.
Mushrooms are their staple food, and they domesticate underground lizard dogs as meat and hunting partners.
They like to live in groups, have intelligence but it is far lower than that of humans, and are bloodthirsty, aggressive and xenophobic by nature.
"The entrance to this Ash Zone seems to be within the territory of an underground humanoid settlement."
"But it's not a big problem, because the combat effectiveness of this kind of thing is generally not high."
As Xie Xiaotian spoke, he took out two scimitars from the void.
The two swords in their hands rubbed against each other, splashing sparks, which burned brighter and brighter until the two swords were ignited.
A-level skill: Burning Blade.
Then Xie Xiaotian accelerated and rushed into the darkness. The burning double swords were like eye-catching beacons, drawing a stunning arc and bringing out a handful of dark blood.
The attributes of the underground humanoids are similar to those of humans, with an upper limit of 10 and generally around 6 points.
As a level 4 Cinder Walker, Xie Xiaotian's attribute cap is as high as 40 points.
The excessive attributes allowed Xie Xiaotian to kill humanoids like killing chickens. He was so fast that he left an afterimage, swimming madly in the waves of humanoids and lizard dogs!
The tearing sounds continued, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the screams of the humanoids underground continued to be heard.
When the massacre was in full swing, Li Peipei suddenly spoke, his voice as loud as thunder.
"retreat!"
Xie Xiaotian's figure disappeared and he instantly appeared beside Li Peipei. Where he had originally stood, a dark light appeared strangely, leaving a deep knife mark on the ground.
In the cave ahead, the humanoid group automatically separated.
A tall figure walked out from the front and came in front of the team.
It is nearly two meters tall, with a well-proportioned body, extremely large hands, and ten nails as sharp as long knives.
Looking at this person, the white light in Li Peipei's eyes became brighter.
Glancing up and down at the humanoid, Li Peipei quickly understood: "A native professional in the Cinders, level five. But his attributes are not full."
Hearing the word "level five", Xie Xiaotian and others took a deep breath, but Li Peipei was not panicked, after all, she was also level five.
After a simple weighing of the pros and cons, Li Peipei had a plan in mind.
Grabbing the cannon fodder beside him, Li Peipei swung his arm and threw the cannon fodder at the humanoid professional.
Just as Li Peipei was about to make a move, Rouyun also activated the pre-set ambush move as if she had telepathic communication with him.
B-level skill: Flesh bomb! ...
Rouyun is a level 4 Cinder Walker, and her spiritual attribute has reached the level 4 limit of 40 points.
The power of the flesh bomb is linked to the spiritual attribute, and with an hour of preparation time, the power of the flesh bomb has increased several times! The poor cannon fodder was like a weapon, flying towards the humanoid professional under the influence of huge force.
And because of the effect of the taunting aura, the attention of humanoid professionals is also attracted to cannon fodder.
It bared its teeth, swung its arm, and ten blade energies shot out from its fingertips, slashing towards the cannon fodder.
However, they did not notice that Zhang Wen on the opposite side had pulled out a shield from the void, and the shield burst into a wall of light, protecting all the team members behind him.
Before the sword energy reached his body, a little red light began to shine from the cannon fodder's heart and reached its peak within a breath.
The cannon fodder's numb face was expressionless, but his eyes contained unspeakable despair and pain.
And all of this was blown to pieces with a loud bang.
Flesh bomb activated.
The bones, blood, and flesh of the cannon fodder turned into a substance harder than steel and scattered under the force of the shock wave.
A rich bloody light splattered, shaking the nearby walls and the ground. The small environment once again amplified the power of the explosion.
The wall of light in front of Zhang Wen shook violently, and his feet sank deeply into the ground, but he barely withstood the power of the flesh and blood bomb.
But the humanoids and humanoid professionals were not prepared and were caught dead!
Screams were heard.
But it was a humanoid professional who covered his face and wailed in pain, with dark blood dripping from between his fingers.
Then its suffering was quickly ended.
Amid the howling wind, Li Peipei, like a Valkyrie, carried the remaining power of the flesh and blood bomb and chopped off the head of the humanoid professional with one sword.
…
“easy!”
Xie Xiaotian snapped his fingers frivolously.
Zhang Wen gasped, put away his shield, and gave Xie Xiaotian a blank look.
An Yue and Rou Yun looked at Li Peipei who was returning, with undisguised admiration in their eyes.
Sequence Forty-Three, Level Five Ash Walker.
Killing people of the same level is like killing chickens.
Although there was the factor of team cooperation, it was only to save energy. Everyone was convinced that even in a head-on fight, the humanoid professionals would not be Li Peipei's opponent.
After the death of their leader, the underground people immediately scattered and fled. Li Peipei was too lazy to chase them and just waved his hand, signaling the team to keep moving forward.
The team passed the devastating explosion site, but Xia Lin suddenly stopped.
He looked down at his feet.
There, half a face came into Xia Lin's sight.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It's the face of cannon fodder...
The eyeball had long disappeared, leaving only a dark bloody hole that silently told of the sadness.
The half mouth on the half face was wide open, as if asking the sky: Why? Why me? You clearly have the ability to defeat the enemy, why did you use me as the price? I helped you with my life, why didn't you bother to look at me, too lazy to say thank you to me? Why did such a tragic fate befall me?
Why why why!?
Xia Lin looked at the backs of Li Peipei's team as they were about to fall into darkness.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling, and at the same time Xia Lin gave the answer in his heart.
'Because they don't care.'
'Because they're not good people.'
'But fortunately, I'm not a good person either.'
'I can even be non-human.'
He bent down weakly and lay on the body of the humanoid professional.
Then it opened its mouth, revealing its mutated, jagged fangs.
…
Li Peipei's team cooperated well.
The difficulty of the C-level small ember area is not high.
The fourth-level Ash Walker is actually targeting the C-level Ash Walker, but the team cannot withstand the presence of a fifth-level warrior, who is also a strong sequence warrior.
They were also well prepared.
The rest of the journey was smooth.
Small troubles cannot be overcome by Li Peipei and Xie Xiaotian, but big troubles can be cleared by flesh and blood bombs, and Li Peipei will reap the rewards.
They killed two level fives and nearly ten level fours along the way. Two hours later, they were not far from the target, and there were still two spare cannon fodders left.
"Strange, I clearly remember that I found six people. After using three, there should be three left. How come there are only two left?"
At this stage, An Yue vaguely realized that there was a cannon fodder missing from the team.
On the one hand, this is the effect of dull puppets, clay sculptures, and pity, especially the S-level pity effect is the most outstanding.
And now that An Yue finally realized Xia Lin's existence, it also meant that the effect of pity began to gradually turn from positive to negative.
But no one knew what that meant.
They didn't even know that Xia Lin had been following behind the team, cleaning up the mess left by the team's slaughter along the way.
Li Peipei closed her eyes, opened her ears to sense the slightest movement, and soon she took a deep breath.
"Two cannon fodders are enough."
“The key is that our goal is ahead.”
"There are two more big guys."
She drew out her heavy sword and her momentum changed, it became cold, sharp, and heavy like a mountain.
"Prepare for a decisive battle."
