Chapter 239 - Limited Nine Seconds (1/2)
Everything changed too quickly. No one had thought that the main force, who everyone had all believed were safe because they stayed in the rear, would actually all turn into insect warriors.
Among the recruits in the rear main force, apart from the three-star martial artists that made up the majority of the force, there were still several dozen four-star martial artists.
Among the seven young experts of East Asia recruits, one was dead and one was seriously injured. The recruits who had lost their battle intent and morale could only be slaughtered by these insects. For a moment, intermittent blood-curdling cries and screams of panic rose and fell with no end in the forest.
A repeatedly roaring Okamoto Takeshi slowly stood that huge and robust body of his up. It was completely covered in hideous blue veins, many of which had already faded away. His thick pillar-like arms were now like deflated balloons.
His broken arms and several injuries in his body had made him temporarily lose a lot of his combat power. He raised his leg, kicking the recruit beside him, who was screaming for help, to vent the rage in his body.
The strange plateau was plagued with chaos.
Qin Fen kept his feet running all the time. There was too big of a gap in the strength of both sides. The desperate war hadn’t brought out any heroes, only death.
Ten seconds. It only took ten seconds to recharge the energy of the Thundercloud and turn it into a god of death that would wantonly reap lives.
In an ordinary day, ten seconds would pass in the blink of an eye. But today, these ten seconds were longer than a century.
If he halted his footsteps for even a second, he would very likely be entangled in the swarm of insect warriors, and in the next second, he would be facing thousands of insect warriors.
If he truly had the strength of eight elephants, Qin Fen would still dare to plant his feet on the ground and return to battle.
Only when they could really get rid of the pursuit of insect warriors and had prepared all the thunderstorms could they really fight back and kill them in this life or death situation.
At this moment, Qin Fen’s spirit had returned to the state of his days in the Golden Triangle. It was as if he could clearly sense every rustle in the grass and trees all around him. Perhaps, the purpose of his mission to the Golden Triangle back then was to cope with today’s situation?
In the grass, an insect warrior that was hiding suddenly bolted out like a cannonball. Immediately after, the huge Thunderstorm smashed down on it like a warhammer.
The robust insect warrior, in the face of a weapon weighing over seven hundred pounds, also became so weak that it could not withstand even one blow. In the blink of an eye, its head and body were completely smashed into meat paste.
Before the mashed insect warrior could fall on the ground, another early-stage insect warrior jumped out of the grass.
Facing Qin Fen, who had recovered his battle state, the surprise attacks that had no prior indications were no longer sneak attacks anymore. With just a random turn of his elbow, every early-stage insect warrior that suddenly jumped out of the grass was mashed into meat paste. Even the shell covering their backs were smashed into pieces.
Along the way, insect warriors made many sneak attacks. But as long they rushed out and attacked, they were beaten to death by Qin Fen in the most direct and efficient manner, without any exception. Superb martial sense range, coupled with his firm and fierce power, a lone insect warrior in front of Qin Fen could only die. They were unable to take even a single blow.
Occasionally, a few insect warriors who didn’t attack Qin Fen were instantly cut into pieces by Du Peng’s hands instantly.
“Is there anyone alive?”
Through the tactical communicator on Deng Biao’s back that he didn’t have the time to throw away, the voice of a woman gasping for breath entered everyone’s ear along with the howls of biting cold winds.
“Is there anyone alive?”
In the call, Lin Jiaxuan’s voice sounded a bit rushed.
“Yes.” Du Peng hesitated a little as he received the communicator from Deng Biao before quickly replying.
The voice through the communicator suddenly stopped. After a few seconds, Lin Jiaxuan’s voice filled with joy came again, “How many of you are still there?”
“A dozen?”
Suddenly, a hubbub of noises came from the communicator over that side. Apparently, apart from Qin Fen and the others, other recruits of East Asia had also survived.
“Is it safe over there?” Lin Jiaxuan anxiously asked once more.
“No.” Du Peng asked back, “What about your side?”
“We…” Lin Jiaxuan slightly hesitated before quickly answering, “We found a cave, it’s safe for the time being.”
Hearing the word “cave”, Qin Fen and the others’ scalp could not help but tingle.
“Cave?” Qin Fen slightly waited for Du Beng before grabbing the communicator and asking, “Look around a bit, are there any protruding round rocks around the cave walls?”
“Qin Fen? Are you Qin Fen? You are still alive!” Lin Jiaxuan’s voice was filled with a bit of happiness. “You can find my current coordinates through the LCD screen on the tactical caller. Come here quickly!”
“I am still alive! Answer my question.” Qin Fen angrily shouted at the microphone, “Are there any protruding round rocks in your cave?”
The communicator on the other side went silent for a few seconds before a similar angry voice of Lin Jiaxuan returned through the communicator. “No, our cave isn’t that big, there aren’t any of those monsters that you are talking about.”
