Chapter 219 - The Wisdom Of Mortals... (1)
Beijing City, West.
North of the Ye Sanpo Forest.
After a long journey, the military convoy finally arrived at their destination.
The three trucks were almost completely dyed red.
Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao were also in a sorry state.
"This is it, right?"
Standing in the open s.p.a.ce in the forest, Chen Yu looked around. "It's very flat and suitable for storing materials. It should have been cleared out by a martial mage in advance."
The nine soldiers jumped out of the vehicles. Without any nonsense, they opened the green cloth and began to dismantle the high-explosive sh.e.l.ls on the vehicles.
"F*ck, are all these three vehicles loaded with sh.e.l.ls?" Duan Ye circled around the three trucks and was shocked. "How large-scale military exercises are they going to have to conduct?"
The soldiers did not reply. They just lowered their heads and carried the sh.e.l.ls.
One sh.e.l.l weighed more than a hundred pounds. They carried it without shaking at all.
This was because in this world of martial arts, 'ordinary people' were only a relative term. As long as one received nine years of compulsory education, one's strength level would not be lower than 0.3 after becoming an adult.
Standing on the roof of the car and looking at the pile of 'cannonb.a.l.l.s' in the empty s.p.a.ce that was getting higher and higher, the more Chen Yu thought about it, the more horrified he felt.
This was only the carrying capacity of three trucks. There were so many high explosive cannonb.a.l.l.s.
Then, how much military supplies would the driver say would be transported by a fleet of several hundred trucks a few days ago?
Military exercises?
How stupid would a sand sculpture be to believe this nonsense...
"Brother Yu." Duan Ye jumped up and excitedly rubbed his hands. "The scale of this military exercise is absolutely spectacular. I want to see it when the time comes."
Chen Yu: "..."
Before long, under the busy work of the nine soldiers, the three trucks of sh.e.l.ls were all unloaded. In the empty field, there were twelve hills piled up.
Each 'hill of sh.e.l.ls' was separated by five meters. Obviously, they were left for the launching devices.
"Mr. Chen, the transportation of materials has been completed. The mission has been completed." The leading driver raised his head and saluted Chen Yu on the roof of the car. "Thank you for your escort."
"So our mission has been completed?" Duan Ye asked.
"Yes, only the part entrusted by the West City Military Camp has been completed." The driver put down his hand and explained, "I heard that you still have a mission to clean up the exotic beasts, so it's not under the responsibility of the military camp."
"We still have to clear out the exotic beasts within a few kilometers." Chen Yu thought for a moment. "It should be issued by the military in order to ensure that this firing point can be activated smoothly and not be disturbed."
"So we did a total of two mandatory missions?"
"More or less."
"That guy with the surname 'Gou' is really nasty." Duan Ye cursed. "He doesn't do anything related to people at all."
Waving his hand, Chen Yu jumped off the roof of the car and asked the driver, "Then, we need to clear out the surrounding areas. What do you guys do? Stay here?"
"We need to return to the military camp." The driver shook his head. "We need to transport another launch pad here tomorrow."
"Isn't it dangerous to go back without the protection of martial artists?"
"We have never been protected." The driver smiled. "It has always been these supplies that are protected."
"..." Chen Yu was silent.
"We'll return by the same route. If we're lucky, there shouldn't be any accidents. If we're unlucky... There shouldn't be any accidents." The driver spread his hands. "From the day we joined the army, the only accident was that we were able to retire alive."
"..."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go. We'll meet again if we're fated." He waved his hand and led the soldiers into the driver's seat. He pulled down the window and said to Chen Yu, "Thank you for the smoke. It's very strong."
Hum --
The three trucks started moving, leaving behind twelve cannonb.a.l.l.s that slowly disappeared at the end of the worn-out road.
The swaying body of the truck was like a small boat in the raging waves. In the next second, it would be drowned in the waves.
"Hu..."
After a long while, Chen Yu took a deep breath and dismissed the wild thoughts in his mind. He turned to look at Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao. "Now, the only thing left is to clear out the exotic beasts."
"But this part is much more difficult than escorting them." Duan Ye was serious. "With such a dense number of exotic beasts within a three-kilometer radius, I refuse to believe that there aren't any Level 4 exotic beasts."
"That's true." Chen Yu scratched his ears. "Just now, I was lamenting that those soldiers are in imminent danger. Maybe we'll die even faster."
After saying that, he pulled out his longsword and erupted with the force of a peak Level 1 exotic beast. He commanded, "Start from the 1 o'clock direction and clear out the three-kilometer radius in a clockwise direction."
Duan Ye: "Alright."
Bahuang Yao: "Understood."
"Just like when you came, save your strength. Don't attack any beasts below Level 3. Just watch me fight."
"Alright." ×2
"Let's go!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Three explosions tore through the sky. Chen Yu and the other two formed a triangular formation and charged into the dense forest...
A long while later.
The slender woman walked out and stared in the direction Chen Yu had left for a while. She unfolded the folded mattress and placed it on the ground. Then, she stuck out her b.u.t.t and blew furiously into the mattress.
"Hu..."
"Hu hu..."
"Hu hu hu..."
Before long, the mattress was blown. The woman happily sat on it and pressed her palms together.
"Martial arts -- Why Don't I Use the Art of Ascending to the Heavens?"
Boom!
The white air blast suddenly exploded. The mattress seemed to have turned into a paper kite as it spun and rose up from the ground! It shot straight into the clouds.
In just a few minutes, the woman had already flown up into the clouds high in the sky.
From a high vantage point, she was able to observe the movements of Chen Yu and the other two more clearly.
...
Swis.h.!.+
Boom...
With a slash, half of the exotic beast's head was chopped off, and Chen Yu landed on the corpse of the exotic beast.
After the dust settled, Duan Ye ran forward and crazily waved the two bunches of wild flowers in his hands. "Brother Yu, 66666..."
Bahuang Yao also walked over timidly and shook the flowers stiffly. "Brother Yu... 6... 6666..."
"Stretch out your movements and speak louder," Duan Ye instructed. "If you can't even be a good cheerleading team, what else can you do?"
Bahuang Yao: "..."
"That's enough." Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. "After all, it's her first time. She'll learn it."
"It's my first time too. Why can't she be as flirtatious as me?" Duan Ye put on a tactful att.i.tude. "She just can't let go and is thin-skinned. You say that both of us aren't going on stage. Brother Yu is doing all the work by himself, and you can't even open your mouth when we shout 666? Is that right?"
"I... I'd rather go on stage." The young girl's face flushed red.
"You're so stubborn when I say a few words about you."
Bahuang Yao: "..."
Duan Ye: "Brother Yu, continue to show off. Don't worry about her. I'm enough."
Using the beast's fur to wipe away the bloodstains on the sword, Chen Yu jumped off the ground and asked, "How many beasts have we eliminated?"
"The ninth!" Duan Ye gave him a thumbs up. "We killed nine beasts in a row, and there's even a Level 3 beast among them. His face isn't red, and he's not panting. He's a true G.o.d."
Raising his head and looking at the sky, Chen Yu waved his hand, leading the two of them forward. "Increase our speed, and try to complete the mission by nightfall."
...
Moving in a clockwise direction, the three of them worked together even more tacitly.
Due to the toughness of their physiques, Chen Yu didn't activate his energy.
Thus, when they encountered a Level 2 beast, he could deal with it by launching a sneak attack alone.
If he encountered a Level 3 exotic beast, the three of them would focus on killing it at the same time.
It was clean and efficient, without any hesitation.
The speed of the clearing was so fast that the 'female bodyguard' in the sky was dumbstruck.
As a senior security officer, she was quite knowledgeable.
However, other than Bahuang Yi, she had never seen a first-year student in any cla.s.s with such extraordinary lethality.
It was still alright to kill exotic beasts like chopping melons and vegetables...
Time pa.s.sed by minute by minute.
By 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu and the other two had already eliminated one-fifth of the exotic beasts.
"No."
Standing on the top of a small hill, Chen Yu looked down at the sea of trees below. "We won't be able to kill all of them today. There are simply too many exotic beasts here."
"We're already very fast." Duan Ye sighed. "It can only be said that this mission isn't meant to be completed in a day at all."
"Or rather, this mission isn't meant for first-year students at all." Chen Yu sneered.
"But if we succeed, we can ruthlessly slap that Director Gou in the face."
"Brother Yu..." Bahuang Yao, who was following behind him, wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"Duan Ye and I have almost recovered. If we really can't... We can split up and move faster."
Hearing that, Duan Ye turned his head and looked at Bahuang Yao up and down.
"What... What..." The girl took half a step back.
"I suspect you're a spy."
Bahuang Yao: "..."
"Haven't you seen a movie before? Any team wipe-out starts from splitting up."
"No... It's not splitting up. Instead, it's you and me in a team, and Brother Yu in his own team. The two of us will only pick Level 2 exotic beasts to attack, leaving Level 3 to deal with them together. The efficiency will be higher. We can't just do nothing..."
"Who's saying that we're not doing anything?" Duan Ye was agitated. He pointed at the flower arrangement above his head, the gra.s.s skirt on his body, and the wreath in his hand. "I've already sacrificed so much. I've sold my beauty to support Brother Yu. How can you say that I'm not doing anything?"
"Xiao Yao is right." Chen Yu covered his eyes. "Let's split up. I don't want to see you."
"Brother Yu, if you say that, you have no conscience..."
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Chen Yu seemed to have sensed something. He immediately interrupted Duan Ye and carefully observed his surroundings. "Did you feel the ground shake just now?"
"Did I?" Duan Ye was surprised. He lay on the mountaintop and listened carefully with his ears. "Did either of you fart?"
Bahuang Yao: "..."
"There must be something," Chen Yu concluded. "There's no sign of any exotic beasts around, but it can cause the ground to shake. It must be an extremely large exotic beast."
Dong... Dong...
Just as Chen Yu finished his sentence, the tremors came once again. It was so clear that the three of them could sense it.
"There really is an exotic beast!" Duan Ye immediately got up and looked down at the forest at the foot of the mountain.
"I... I don't see it." Bahuang Yao hesitated. "There's one in the distance at 11 o'clock, but it doesn't look that big. It's at most Level 3. It shouldn't be able to cause the tremors here."
"..."
In silence, Chen Yu's brain was working rapidly. Two seconds later, he suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.
"Run! Jump down!"
With a loud roar, he dragged Duan Ye, who was in a daze, and used all his strength to jump down the mountain peak.
Bahuang Yao's reaction was also very fast. The moment she was reminded, she jumped back a hundred meters.
Boom!
Rumble!!
In the next moment, the mountain under the trio's feet began to shake violently.
Rolling rocks, dust, and soil slid down, smas.h.i.+ng the forest at the foot of the mountain into a mess.
"Roar!"
Following that, with a world-shaking howl, the 'mountain' actually stood up.
"This... This..." Duan Ye, who was in Chen Yu's arms, was shocked. "Is this a f*cking b.a.s.t.a.r.d?!"
"It's definitely a Level 5 exotic beast."
Chen Yu's expression was ugly. "No wonder there aren't any Level 4 beasts around. So this is the territory of a Level 5 exotic beast."
"Isn't it too big... ?" Looking at the huge beast that had almost blocked half of his vision, Duan Ye recovered from his shock. "There's no way to fight it at all."
"Roar..."
Shaking off all the heavy objects on its sh.e.l.l, the turtle-shaped exotic beast raised its feet. Amidst the shaking of the earth and mountains, it turned around and looked at Chen Yu and Duan Ye, who were as big as 'rice grains' in the air.
"Not good!"
Feeling a chill in his heart, Chen Yu flung Duan Ye away without hesitation.
"Roar!"
In the next moment, a scarlet light flashed in the eyes of the exotic beast, and it suddenly opened its turtle sh.e.l.l, unleas.h.i.+ng a Level 5 force that was so terrifying that it was suffocating.
Boom, boom --
Accompanied by a loud noise that sounded like eardrums exploding, a compressed air wave instantly shot out, whistling toward Chen Yu.
Duan Ye's eyes were about to split open. "Chen Yu!"
Bahuang Yao was dazed. "Chen Yu..."
He was in the air at the critical moment. Chen Yu instinctively used teleportation.
Swoos.h.!.+
Bang!
[Received damage: Qi and Blood +7437]
"Puff..."
Tainted blood spurted out uncontrollably from his mouth as Chen Yu spun and fell into the forest.
Crash...
[Damage received: Qi and Blood +443]
[Qi and Blood +325]
[Qi and Blood +107]
Dong!
[Damage received: Qi and Blood +2041]
After a moment of absent-mindedness, a sharp pain suddenly came from his internal organs.
Chen Yu's mouth, nose, eyes, and ears were all bleeding profusely.
He even lost control of his bowels and urine.
"F*ck..."
He lay on the ground trembling and vomited a mouthful of blood. He struggled to stand up to examine his body.
"There are no broken bones..."
"It's just that my internal organs were impacted..."
"It's alright..."
"F*ck, it just grazed the side, and I almost lost my life..."
While cursing, Chen Yu's strength was like a rainbow. He pulled out the longsword in the motherboard and looked at the exotic beast.
"Roar!"
The exotic beast roared. Seeing that its target wasn't dead, it immediately took four steps forward and rushed over like it was chasing after the stars and the moon.
Its speed was so fast that no one could tell that it was actually a tortoise...
In the distance, Duan Ye, who had just landed on the ground, was cursing while putting his palms together. He mobilized his strength to condense into a huge ball of light, trying to attract the exotic beast's attention.
However, unlike the exotic beasts below Level 4, this turtle seemed to have a certain level of intelligence. It was completely undisturbed and directly chased after Chen Yu.
From the activity of the exotic beast to Chen Yu's fall, all of this happened in a split second.
When the woman in the clouds reacted and controlled the mattress to rush down, it was already too late to provide support.
"Martial Art -- Leap of Faith!"
Peng!
White flames enveloped his entire body. Without any hesitation, Chen Yu squeezed every bit of strength in his cells and pushed his body to flee.
Dong dong dong dong...
The Level 5 exotic beast stomped on the ground and gave chase relentlessly. From time to time, it would open its ferocious mouth and spurt out air waves.
Rumble...
Rumble...
Every air wave left behind a ravine with a diameter of more than thirty meters. Trees, vegetation, animals... were all crushed.
"Don't come any closer! Hide far away! You can't interfere!" Chen Yu shouted as he ran, reminding his two teammates. Then, he suddenly changed directions and rushed towards the exotic beast in an arc.
Because his feet were on the ground, he had a support point, so he was far more agile than he was in the air. After dodging the two air blasts, he rushed to the side of the Level 5 exotic beast.
Raising his head, looking at the huge object that seemed to 'reach the clouds,' Chen Yu gritted his teeth and exerted strength with his legs, directly jumping onto the turtle sh.e.l.l of the Level 5 beast.
Holding his longsword tightly, he crouched down and decisively used flash, attempting to drill into the body of the beast to destroy it.
Dang...
However, a repulsive force formed by the force of force fiercely bounced him away.
Chen Yu: "???"
"Roar!"
Sensing that Chen Yu was on its back, the Level 5 behemoth immediately jumped up and nimbly somersaulted in the air, pressing Chen Yu onto its back.
Then, under the pull of gravity, it crashed down like Mount Tai!
"!!!"
Listening to the whistling wind beside his ears and looking at the ground below him that was getting closer and closer, Chen Yu's scalp went numb. He had no other choice.
"Martial Arts -- Enlightenment!"
[Unknown state bonus: Temporary Intelligence Increase -49%]
[Paralysis triggered!!]
[Temporary Speed +93%]
Bang!
The flames around his body turned from white to green. Chen Yu raised his head abruptly. Under his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes gradually met, revealing an incomparably 'wise' gaze.
"These three idiots!"
"What are they doing here?"
"Those three trucks' cannonb.a.l.l.s were used on the spot? And they blew up an area of three kilometers?!"
