Little Cold Star (3)
Rustle, rustle...
It sounded like the wind blowing through the leaves, or like some creature was quietly running quickly in the bushes, covering the dark night with a strange veil.
In the dilapidated house, the fist-sized Nirvana fire emitted a warm light that reflected on the blue tent in front. The little hills circled the tent in three layers inside and outside for several times. The furry creatures, tired from playing, lay down on the left and right, and slept soundly.
Inside the tent, three sleeping bags were neatly arranged.
Shi Jianxia received Meng Ji's warning, opened his eyes vigilantly, and happened to meet Gongye Jiwang's gaze.
He also noticed something was wrong.
A strange planet, a strange environment, a cold snowy night, and unknown dangers that may appear at any time.
After looking at each other silently, Gongye Jiwang raised his index finger to his lips, hushed softly, pointed at the little girl sleeping between them, stood up quietly, and indicated that he would go to check the situation.
Shi Jianxia nodded, picked up Xixi and the nine-tailed fox who were curled up in her sleeping bag, and asked them to stay with the little girl to protect her. She also crawled out of the sleeping bag and kept an eye on the situation outside.
Gongye Jiwang lifted the curtain, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, but was quickly dissipated by the heat of the Nirvana fire.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
The subtle friction sound seemed to be pressing on the eardrum, coming from far away and getting closer, and it was hard to ignore.
Shi Jianxia realized that the situation was not simple, and immediately woke up all the cubs in the "off" state, and used the three-legged crow's mimicry talent [Golden Crow Sunday] to bring the entire dilapidated hut into the protection range.
Listening to the situation outside, I heard a strange "ho ho ho" sound, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Gongye Jiwang has already started fighting with the uninvited guest!
Shi Jianxia walked out of the tent quickly, and in the dim light of the night, he saw a bloody mouth that made his scalp tingle.
What?
The light of the Nirvana Fire covered the area, clearly illuminating a humanoid monster that was more than two meters tall.
It has a head as big as a millstone, with black hair hanging down and covering almost half of its face, leaving only a small patch of bluish-gray skin exposed. Under the thick hair are densely packed eyes.
A cold wind blew, and a strong stench of decay hit Shi Jianxia in the face. Her stomach churned. Fortunately, she drank nutrient solution before going to bed, otherwise she would have vomited.
Gongye Jiwang chopped off the monster's head with a sword, and the pale flame flowing from the tip of the sword quickly enveloped the head.
There was a crackling sound, and in a few breaths, the head covered with hair and eyes was burned into a pile of ashes. A blue insect crystal fell into the ashes, reflecting a faint cold light.
Without the insect crystals as energy support, the monster's body stood stiffly in a forward attacking posture, and the skin under its black hair rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a foul stench that could not be concealed even in the bitter cold of winter.
Gongye Jiwang threw out a ball of pale flame, burning the monster's torso to ashes before the stench completely dissipated.
"It's a level six parasite." He frowned.
Shi Jianxia's heart skipped a beat. "Is this the Fallen Planet?"
Zerg parasites only appear on fallen planets.
As we all know, a planet completely occupied by the Zerg is called a fallen planet. The people who originally lived here, ordinary people became a breeding ground for the growth of larvae, and those with special abilities became delicacies of the Zerg. There is no third possibility.
The surroundings suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Both Shi Jianxia and Gongye Jiwang realized that the future would be a death like a frog in boiling water.
Once the few supplies they have are exhausted, or they are discovered by medium to large swarms of insects, their lives will come to an end.
Hulala——
Ashes flew up into the wind and filled the weeds on the right.
Ho ho, ho ho ho…
Shi Jianxia suddenly turned his head and used Fu Zhu's mimicry talent [Water Disaster]. The water in his hand condensed into ice and suddenly shot out. In a moment, the ice cone was firmly nailed on the neck of the Zerg parasite crawling behind the grass.
There was only a subtle snap, and the parasite's larynx broke. Ice crystals condensed and rose up, passing through the top of the skull. The fire of Nirvana controlled by the Phoenix followed and burned it into a pile of ashes.
"This is just a fourth-level parasite. There are many more behind it. We must be being targeted." Shi Jianxia said.
The Zerg do not know what sustainable development is. They parasitize any living creature they encounter out of instinct. When humans abandon this planet, all living creatures on the planet become lambs to be slaughtered and will all be parasitized in a very short period of time.
After that, the Zerg began to devour each other, and thus a more powerful Zerg was born.
"If I remember correctly, your mimicry upgrade requires a large amount of insect crystals. Do you want to kill one round?" Gongye Jiwang turned his head and looked over. There was no confusion about the future in his eyes that were filled with stars, as if the next battle was just an insignificant warm-up exercise.
Shi Jianxia naturally wouldn't dwell on herself because of the death that hadn't yet arrived. She didn't answer Gongye Jiwang's question, but raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll ask Meng Ji and the others to find a relatively safe place."
This place has been discovered by the parasites. In order to avoid more and more parasites gathering here, they need to move as soon as possible.
As soon as she finished speaking, the ferocious weapon Qiongqi appeared in her palm. The area covered by [Golden Crow Sun] expanded rapidly. The three-legged crow let out a crisp cry, flew past the two of them and flew straight forward to clear the way.
Shi Jianxia followed closely behind with a fierce sword in hand.
It is hard to tell whether the sheep have fallen into the wolves or the wolves have fallen into the sheepfold.
A cold wind blew past, and half of the hill guarding the tent flew up, following her as she rushed towards the overgrown forest in front.
Gongye Jiwang looked at the melting ice and snow on the ground, gently pressed the tip of his index finger with his thumb, and felt the fire breath covering the surface of his skin. This was a positive bonus from friendly units in the mimicry field.
"Classic of Mountains and Seas" is indeed powerful. The second-level mimicry alone has domain-related talents and covers such a wide range.
Gongye Jiwang clenched his five fingers, and the pale flame turned into an exquisite and gorgeous longbow.
He held the bow towards the sky, pulled the taut bowstring, and the arrow burning with cold flames flew out. The moment it met the cold moon, it turned into thousands of streams of fire and fell from the sky.
-
Shi Jianxia looked up in surprise and saw a pair of military boots stepping on the frost-covered stone beside her.
This is Gongye Jiwang.
He said gently, "Within a one-thousand-meter radius of the cabin, there are two level seven parasites, twelve level six parasites, twenty-one level five parasites, and forty-three level four parasites. I'm going to deal with the level six and seven parasites first. Be careful."
The precise data made Shi Jianxia look sideways, but now was not the time to talk. She did not ask Gongye Jiwang how he got this information, but took the lead in raising her sword to chop at a parasite that had already jumped up from the snow!
The sacred mountains, which had been prepared for battle, quickly grew larger and smashed down on the parasites emerging from the woods like a mountain.
Their size is linked to their combat level and potential level. The highest level currently is Buzhou Mountain. After fully releasing its body, it is as big as a basketball court. Its strength is also surprisingly great. Although it cannot kill the parasites by falling from the air, it can crush them so that they cannot turn over.
Gongye Jiwang saw the suddenly larger sacred mountains, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Without delay, he turned into a shadow and killed the two level seven parasites he had located.
He was incredibly fast. When Shi Jianxia turned around, she could only catch a glimpse of his disappearing back, and she was shocked.
If I remember correctly, before she enrolled in Nandong Military Academy, Gongye Jiwang's publicly disclosed strength was that of a level five ability user.
Later, in an operation at an anonymous trading fair in the underground black market, he competed against No. 9, a level 7 ability user. At that time, Shi Jianxia felt that his combat level should be more than level 5.
Now, he has not entered the "runaway" state. When he said that he would deal with the level 6 or 7 parasites, he had a completely relaxed tone, which shows that the current situation is nothing in his eyes.
Shi Jianxia narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her sword to block the level 5 parasite that was trying to attack her from behind.
The fierce warrior Qiongqi is unstoppable, and fighting with her can enhance her strength.
Shi Jianxia took the initiative, wrapped his legs with a thick and sharp layer of ice, spun around and kicked at the parasite covered with tumors, scratching several tumors unexpectedly. Green maggots squirmed and fell out, landing on the gradually melting ice and snow, making crackling sounds that made people's scalps numb.
The nausea that she had suppressed with great difficulty came up again. Shi Jianxia reflexively removed the ice spikes wrapped around her legs. The fire of Nirvana flew over in accordance with her wishes, and in a few seconds, the green maggots that were trying to pounce on her were burned to ashes.
This is a queen insect!
Realizing this, Shi Jianxia suppressed the churning in his stomach and used the Phoenix's mimicry talent [Nirvana Fire].
The overlapping flames inside and outside jumped in her palm. She raised her hand and wiped it, and the Nirvana fire immediately covered the entire Qiongqi sword. The Qiongqi shadow let out a deafening roar, as if in demonstration and warning!
She made a beautiful sword flower, and the fire of Nirvana flowed past, dragging out gorgeous sparks, and in an instant it turned into a swirling cross, fiercely slashing at the queen parasite that was about to pounce on her with black and smelly saliva flowing!
The power of the Nirvana Fire was quite terrifying. Even though the Phoenix was only level four, even a level five Zerg could not withstand the pain brought by the burning. After the parasite was engulfed by the flames, it became stiff for a short time, and then it let out strange screams and wails as if it had been severely tortured.
Its voice should have been able to travel far, but it was tightly enveloped within the domain of [Golden Crow Sun] and could not transmit information to more parasites.
Shi Jianxia knew that it was not easy to kill the parasite by bypassing the level limit. Although many sacred mountains used the advantage of gravity to suppress some parasites, it was not a long-term solution.
She decisively summoned the only level five mimicry she currently possessed - Gonggong!
The strong red hair and strong muscles give people a strong visual impact.
Gonggong swung his snake tail and waved the trident in his hand. A strong breath of water rushed towards his face, carrying the melted snow water on the ground into sharp ice cones, all of which pierced the queen parasite that was rolling on the ground in pain due to the burning fire of Nirvana and already emitting a burnt and foul smell!
Gonggong gave these ice cones his power. Their hardness and penetrating power were incomparable to ordinary ice cones. They easily pierced through the body of the queen parasite, leaving wounds oozing black blood.
The tumors on the surface of its body swam and struggled frantically, trying to find a glimmer of life in the burning of the Nirvana fire, but the terrifying water breath did not give them any chance to escape, and in an instant snatched away the water they depended on for survival.
The body of the queen parasite shrank rapidly, and the Nirvana Fire leaped up, burning it into ashes.
The green insect crystal fell to the ground and quickly formed a black vortex. The surrounding space was pulled in by the vortex, and the broken stones were crushed into powder. The ice and snow that had not yet melted disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It's an A-level insect vortex!
Shi Jianxia didn't wait for the insect vortex to form completely, and decisively ordered the phoenix to devour it.
There are too many people and too little food. Even though she has increased the number of times she goes to the Linhai Quarantine Station to hunt insect vortexes, it is still not enough for the cubs to distribute. The Phoenix is only B-level now. After swallowing this insect vortex, it will be promoted to A-level, and its talent and strength will be further improved!
Shi Jianxia realized that this was a great opportunity.
One of the reasons why the Fallen Planet fell was that the number of insect vortices had become so large that humans could not control it, and the second reason was that a large number of high-level insect vortices appeared.
She didn't need to hunt down the queen insects on a large scale. She only needed to send out the divine mountains that could fly freely to search for ready-made insect vortexes. She could let them take advantage of the nearby Zerg's unpreparedness, swallow the insect vortexes in one gulp and run away, so that she could get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.
Shi Jianxia became excited, looking at the vortex of insects that was gradually being devoured by the Phoenix, his eyes were as green as a jackal that had been hungry for half a month in the deep mountains and forests!
The counterfeit will definitely regret what she did this time!
