Chapter 490 Removing the Vest
Chapter 490 Removing the Vest
"Snap... Snap... Crack..."
For some time after entering the Fufeng Plain, apart from the sound of Lie Zhao and his men cutting down thorns, there were no other sounds.
Lezhi once doubted that such a place, which looked like a world of thorns, could possibly allow any creature to survive unharmed.
Before the doubts could even be put to rest, they were immediately proven wrong.
The unchanging map of light spots in his mind had changed after a long time. Not long after Lezhi noticed that the Zerg were approaching, Lie Zhao and the others also noticed something.
Everyone held their breath, except for Lie Zhao, who whispered seriously, "Be on guard, something is coming."
A rustling sound came from the air, and everyone perked up, carefully trying to determine the direction from which the sound was coming.
"Crack..."
It was the faint sound of a creature moving through the thorns; it was very close.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiu and Lie Zhao looked to the right front of the team at the same time. The team members in that position reacted quickly and blocked the attack.
Sure enough, the next second, a long, monstrous insectoid with a ferocious head suddenly appeared, its sharp teeth clashing with the team member's longsword, producing a "clang..." sound.
"It has sharp, long fangs. Be careful of its teeth, or you'll get hurt."
Lie Zhao loudly reminded them, mainly to warn Lei Xiu and Le Zhi to be careful.
The sharp teeth have a mild venom that is not fatal but can temporarily paralyze people. The sharp-toothed worm hunts by taking advantage of time differences.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a "whoosh" was heard—the sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh. The team member swiftly and decisively severed the head of the attacking insect.
Without its head, even though its body was still twisting and twitching, it posed no threat.
However, the Golden Armor Clan did not relax their vigilance; on the contrary, they became even more cautious.
Liezhi switched places with his teammates and came to Lezhi's side. "The sharp teeth and long barbs aren't hard to deal with. The trouble is that they never act alone..."
Lezhi, whose mind was guided by a GPS-enabled bug, nodded. Indeed, they were surrounded by a dense swarm of swarms.
At this point, relying solely on others for protection is not enough.
They wanted to use weapons, but the halberd was difficult to maneuver in the thorn bushes. Even Lei Xiu hadn't taken out a spear; there simply wasn't enough space.
After thinking for a moment, Lezhi's eyes flashed, and she clenched and unclenched her fingers. After she opened them up, a stream of light covered her, and her fingers were instantly stretched by the light.
Lie Zhi's attention was focused on the outside and he didn't see Le Zhi's change. "Watch out, there's one to the left front. Le Zhi, try not to move and let us handle it."
The Golden Armor Clan is naturally protected by golden armor, making it easy for them to deal with sharp-toothed worms, even though the number of attacking worms is enormous, it's only a matter of time before they are dealt with.
Lie Zhi was afraid that Le Zhi would act rashly and rush past them; if something happened, he would really be grateful.
Lei Xiu wasn't as nervous as him. Knowing Le Zhi's abilities, he was like an old man taking a stroll and watching a show while everyone else was on high alert.
The sound of blades slicing through flesh rang out incessantly. Soon, the space was filled with a rusty smell, mixed with the fresh scent of thorny bushes. The smell wasn't pleasant, but you got used to it.
But Lezhi is different; he has always been very particular about smells, and different smells will bring out different states in him.
The smell of blood corresponds to irritability.
"Zhizhi, what's wrong?"
Le Zhi shifted his feet uncomfortably a few times, and Lei Xiu noticed something was wrong. He called out to him, and upon seeing the blood-red ring around Le Zhi's pupils, Lei Xiu immediately understood.
Before he could even offer a word of comfort, Lezhi's frustration had reached its peak. She grabbed the fur ball from her head and stuffed it into Lei Xiu's arms. Without uttering a sound, Lezhi seized the opportunity to join the fray.
"Tweet~"
The fluffy ball, already used to being tossed around, stared innocently at Lei Xiu.
"Where's Lezhi..." Liezhi was about to collapse when he turned around and lost sight of him.
Lei Xiu patted Lie Zhi on the shoulder and pointed him in the right direction, "Over there, don't worry, Zhi Zhi is fine."
Having never seen Lezhi make a move before, Liezhi was skeptical, but Lei Xiu's composure was too much for him to bear, so he had to force himself to calm down.
Intervening in a battle is a skill; you need to choose the right time before recklessly rushing in.
He was determined that as soon as he discovered a flaw, he would immediately step forward to save the person.
But just two seconds later, after watching one round, Lie Zhi withdrew his idea.
Such a ruthless person doesn't need his help, but why does Lezhi's fighting style seem so familiar?
"Swoosh... Crack..."
Make a move, grab it tightly, and tear it apart with force.
The insects under Lezhi's command were immediately decapitated.
Before the insect's body even hit the ground, it had already set its sights on the next target.
As the bug tried to ambush its teammate by grabbing its tail, Lezhi smiled, clearly enjoying the battle.
Having noticed the sneak attack from behind and realizing he'd been dealt with beforehand, the team member quickly turned around to thank them, "Thanks, brother. Ah, you are...?"
"Whoosh..."
The insect was torn in half right in front of him, and the person opposite him who had helped him smiled and tilted his head, "You're welcome, brother..."
After speaking, Lezhi's eyes sharpened, and he lunged forward. His golden eyes watched as the person flew towards him. He was so surprised that he stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.
A flash of light caught my eye, and I unconsciously closed my eyes. Then I heard another sound of flesh being torn apart.
"What are you standing there for? If you're tired, step back and don't get in the way." They were actually spacing out on the battlefield. Luckily, they were going for a high-defense build, otherwise, if a squishy character stood there for even a second, they would be dead.
Ignoring that silly teammate, Lezhi got more and more carried away with the game.
Gradually, the others noticed that no more insects were attacking them. After tightening their formation, Lie Zhao looked around and discovered the peculiar battle circle.
All the remaining insects rushed towards Lezhi, which allowed them to have some free time.
"What happened?" Lie Zhao looked at Lie Zhi. He hadn't asked Lie Zhi to keep an eye on the person; this was the result of his observation.
Lie Zhi: "…………"
He had no way to seek justice, and it was indeed because he had failed in his duty. But Captain, look at Lezhi, does she look like she needs protection?
At this moment, Lie Zhao also noticed Le Zhi's ease and skill.
The seemingly dense circle of insects was actually just delivering food to him.
It wasn't just because of his extremely familiar attack methods; Lie Zhao seemed to have seen something, and his eyes narrowed.
Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, Lei Xiu stepped forward and said, "Perhaps you've heard some rumors that Zhizhi is quite different from us."
This wasn't just a hint; it was a blatant declaration to Lie Zhao that yes, he wasn't mistaken, and that's exactly what he thought.
Having already guessed some of the clues, Lie Zhi stood silently to the side with a complicated expression.
On the other side, unaware that his disguise had been exposed, and finding that the bugs were all swarming towards him, Lezhi was not only not flustered, but even more excited.
Previously, he needed to actively seek out targets, but now he doesn't; the prey will come to him on its own.
There were just too many of them. Before the men had finished tearing them apart, another stench of blood and gore came from behind.
A golden light flashed across his body, but Lezhi remained calm and fought at his own pace. Suddenly, a strange voice shouted a warning: "Be careful..."
Before Lezhi could react, a figure swept past her, and the familiar sound of flesh tearing rang in her ears. Then, an unfamiliar voice sounded again, this time a cacophony of complaints.
"Who are you, kid? How did you end up in the Fufeng Plains without a word? Do you know how troublesome it is to get entangled in those sharp fangs? We're not like those creatures with shells. Do you know what the consequences would be if we got scratched by those fangs...?"
The unfamiliar voice kept muttering, but it didn't stop him from killing the insects. A group of people quickly surged up behind him. They must have been with him. Seeing him killing insects, they joined the battle without saying a word.
Lezhi, whose prey had been stolen, was completely bewildered, while Lie Zhao and his group, who were being swatted by their nemesis in front of them, were speechless and indifferent.
So what if it has a case? It's so practical! They're just envious and jealous, humph!
