Chapter 163 The Gloomy Research Institute
According to Brother Yu, the skill of Sweeping the Troops is designed to target the enemy's head, so you can hit the enemy's neck even with your eyes closed!
Therefore, the ability to catch a knife with bare hands was not surprising. However, Yang Chen was skeptical. If the opponent burned the knife to a scorching heat, would he be unable to catch it?
Well, the burning thing is not a white blade, but a red blade, so the ability of this setting is still limited and has a certain rationality. That is to say, if the enemy wears a collar with sufficient defense, even Sweeping Thousands of Troops may not be able to kill it.
Just as Yang Chen was chasing the Taotie beast with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Taotie seemed unwilling to watch himself go to death. He was struggling and resisting. He looked at Yang Chen who was chasing him from behind. His right hand claws were sharp and tore at the stone wall next to him. The rocks on it fell down, burying the road in front of Yang Chen and also helping him to cover his retreat.
"You think you can stop me like this?" Yang Chen punched forward, and the powerful wind from his fist swept over the rocks on the ground and rushed towards the Taotie who was still running hard in front.
One of them hit Taotie's head. A grain of sand can penetrate rock at high speed, let alone a rock. The high speed knocked Taotie unconscious.
After a brief five seconds of dizziness, Taotie staggered like a drunk who had drunk 500 kilograms of liquor, and was caught up by Yang Chen in an instant.
"Sweep away the enemy!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and the walls were covered with blood foam. Yang Chen used a combined skill to kill Taotie on the spot.
Suddenly, several figures came running from the passage ahead.
They were the elite mutant beasts accompanying Taotie. They stopped a hundred meters away from Taotie and said, "Taotie has been killed. Report to headquarters immediately. I'll go buy you some time!"
One of the mutant beasts rushed towards Yang Chen, hoping to buy enough time for the other mutant beasts.
It was a mutant beast with a snake-like body and a human body. It had transformed into a human form and possessed very strong power, at least stronger than the four divine beasts.
Yang Chen saw that he was holding a trident in his hand, which was more advanced than the one he had lost before. However, now that Yang Chen already had the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, he no longer needed the trident.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand lightly collided with the opponent's trident, causing a terrifying air shock.
The humanoid mutant snake retreated several meters, its face filled with fear, and said, "Such terrifying power! No wonder Taotie was defeated by him!"
Yang Chen looked at the humanoid mutant snake in front of him speechlessly. He curled his lips and said, "You seem to be as powerful as Taotie, but it seems that your position is still lower than Taotie. Are you just a follower who is willing to die?"
"I've been discovered by you. I didn't expect you to have such observation skills?" The humanoid mutant snake felt a little scared. He was most afraid of someone seeing through his identity at a glance. "Yes, I was the one who was photographed and monitored by Taotie."
Yang Chen: “…”
The humanoid mutant snake said, "Let's make a deal. If I tell you the secrets of the Taotie, then you'll let me go. How about that?"
So that's how it is. Yang Chen finally understood. That's why the other party rushed over to stop him. In fact, the first thing he wanted to do was to confirm Yang Chen's strength and whether he had the ability to kill Taotie. The second thing he wanted to do was to plead with Yang Chen and save his life through a deal. As for the mutant beasts that escaped to report to the headquarters, it was probably the same.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "You are indeed brave and resourceful, but why do you think I won't kill you?"
"Because the information I'm going to tell you is of great value. It's about how to cultivate a super-powerful divine beast! With this method, even if it's not a divine beast, it can be promoted to a divine beast!" The humanoid mutant snake sneered.
Yang Chen's heart moved when he heard this.
What he wants to know most at the moment is the location of the crystal needed for the little white snake to evolve, so that the little white snake can transform into a dragon in advance. However, after transforming into a dragon, the little white snake is still just a powerful mutant beast, and its bloodline has not improved at all.
If the little white snake can be upgraded to a divine beast, then there will be substantial improvements!
"Taotie has been studying how to become a purebred divine beast. Because the purity of his divine beast is less than one percent of the four great divine beasts, he is not valued by the headquarters. Although he has not figured out how to improve his purity, he accidentally figured out how to transform ordinary mutant beasts into divine beasts!" Seeing Yang Chen silent, the humanoid mutant snake said.
"Tell me quickly, where is the method?!" Yang Chen asked quickly, excited.
"I said this is a deal. I'll tell you where to find it, but you have to let me live." said the humanoid mutant snake.
"Okay, that's no problem." Yang Chen didn't actually care whether he killed one more or one less mutant beast. After all, there were so many mutant beasts in the abyss that it was impossible to kill them all. Moreover, his main goal this time was to enhance the strength of the little white snake.
"This is a map of Taotie's whereabouts. I've marked every place he's been. Inside these marks is a mysterious laboratory. You can try your luck there, but it's locked with a combination. I'll tell you the combination when you get there."
After saying this, the humanoid mutant snake took out a small communication device and gave it to Yang Chen.
"You are indeed alert. I won't break my promise and kill you. You don't have to be so scared."
"It's always good to make more preparations. If it has nothing to do with me, I will leave." said the humanoid mutant snake.
Yang Chen watched him leave and looked at the map in his hand. This humanoid mutant snake was really well prepared. It had prepared all the routes of Taotie. Moreover, many of the marks were trading markets, and the crystals in the Abyss Trading Market were the most traded. This just provided the conditions for Yang Chen to find the crystals needed for the evolution of the little white snake.
Yang Chen immediately walked towards the instructions on the map. His first destination was Taotie's research institute. There was only one research institute marked on the map, so it was impossible for him to go to the wrong place.
Yang Chen threw the Green Dragon Crescent Blade at the speed of sound, then stood on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to hitchhike, and soon arrived at the research institute marked on the map.
As soon as he got off the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Yang Chen saw that the area around him was very eerie.
The ground was covered with skeletons, some human, some mutant, and all kinds of things.
Yang Chen accidentally stepped on the flesh of some unknown creature, which was very unlucky.
"So why is this institute so gloomy? Are they worried that someone might break in?"
Yang Chen will not be affected by the tricks.
He entered the institute's yard in two steps.
"Woo, woo, woo..." The sounds of ghosts and wolves howling were heard all around.
Yang Chen recognized the sound as soon as he heard it: it was the sound of air flowing through a narrow gap. This must be some kind of man-made terrifying atmosphere.
If I'm not mistaken, the people in the research institute should not be mutant beasts, but humans!
Only humans would make such a mysterious arrangement. They probably want to scare away any mutant beasts that strayed in here.
