Chapter 369: Chapter 365: The Departing Wind Spirit
"It’s the Screars, they seem to be in so kind of slumber. But there’s quite a few of them."
Zhu Wenwu stood at a high vantage point and confird.
They saw at least a dozen of these Screars, gathered like a pride of lions.
"Why don’t we go around them?"
Zhu Wenwu suggested.
Su Changxing shook his head and said, "Let’s deal with them first to avoid any trouble later. We’ll be taking this path back as well."
The Screars they encountered before had power levels of at least Tier Eight, but were at the bottom of Tier Eight. While they possessed extrely powerful bodies, their attack thods were singular.
Zhu Wenwu observed and said:
"A slight disturbance might alarm all these creatures."
One Screar wouldn’t be an issue for them, but a dozen could be problematic, especially under these circumstances.
"It’s not a big problem."
Su Changxing thought for a mont and took out the Shadow Bow from his backpack.
The Shadow Bow’s power wasn’t enough for the Screars, but with the augnting effect of "Concentrating the Heart," the power would be about enough.
Moreover, having dissected a Screar’s corpse before, he knew the precise location of the Screars’ weaknesses.
A shadowy black arrow appeared in his hand; Su Changxing nocked the bow and aid for the middle of the nearest Screar’s back.
[Concentrating the Heart: 300%]
He had high proficiency with the abilities acquired from the store.
"Concentrating the Heart" was actually very dangerous.
Even a slight ntal agitation could cause the power to go out of control, surpassing the multiplier Su Changxing could handle.
Twenty tis was his limit, able to unleash only one strike; at thirty tis, certain death awaited him.
A multiplication of two or three tis didn’t consu much energy for him and could be used as a regular offensive technique.
A faint glow erged on the arrow as it shot out into the air.
"Whish~"
The Screar’s body shuddered slightly before it beca still, purple blood trickled out from the hollow in its back, soaking the white ash that covered its body.
"Is it dead?"
Zhu Wenwu turned to look at Su Changxing.
Su Changxing nodded, "It’s dead, the heart of the Screar is their power core, resembling a bio-robot."
Then, he released six or seven more arrows, and one after another, the Screars silently died, with the others unaware of their companions’ demise.
Until Su Changxing killed the tenth Screar, several piercing screeches echoed from afar.
They finally sensed sothing unusual, and the remaining four or five Screars rushed over, stirring up clouds of white ash.
A barrage of gunfire erupted, smoke trailing from the barrels, and the remaining ones all fell under his gunfire.
Looking at the corpses lying before them, Su Changxing said, "Let’s move on. Keep an eye on your stamina."
The Screars’ hearts could be used as material for advancent, but they didn’t have ti to waste and had to decisively abandon them.
What wasn’t a long journey felt exceedingly protracted; the shimr in his hand sparkled more radiant than before, as if delivering a warning.
They could see the steel gates of the energy station from afar, ten ters high, split down the middle, with the upper half missing.
Mysterious noises emanated continuously from within, like wind whipping through a narrow gorge, clashing and scraping against the rocky walls.
Despite many unexpected challenges, the journey was relatively smooth. They had at least reached this point, with victory within sight!
Zhu Wenwu suddenly turned pale, his pupils dilated as he stopped and whispered:
"Brother Su... there are a lot of monsters in there, lots and lots."
What kind of sight was that?
On the ground, beneath the eaves, and on the walls were black, bizarrely shaped creatures, moving silently like cats.
"A lot?"
Su Changxing furrowed his brows, sensing the anomaly inside, though the environnt seed to throw his perception into disarray.
Sowhat at a loss, Zhu Wenwu said:
"Yeah, I’m afraid there might be close to a hundred just behind the gate. This is the breeding ground for those monsters... what do we do now?"
A hundred or so?
They weren’t sure of these monsters’ strength levels; even if they weren’t as strong as Screars, they’d still pose a great challenge.
They’d just have to try.
Su Changxing decided to use the sa thod he used to eliminate the Screars to clear these creatures. Arrows were certainly enough, but he wasn’t sure if he could ensure a kill with every shot.
They tread cautiously towards the gate, careful not to alarm the creatures within. At this mont, their breathing was the most audible sound.
"What’s that?"
Su Changxing noticed sothing white concealed beneath the ash in front of the gate, slender white fur standing out distinctly.
It resembled a gigantic fox.
[Corrupted Wind Spirit: Wind Spirit, fox-like, delicate and pure creature with innate wind control abilities... When a creature like this becos corrupted, it spells doom for the world.]
All of a sudden, a gale roared, stirring up the white ash.
The fox-like creature turned to look at them; beneath its decayed face were clear bluish eyes, brimming with clarity and wisdom.
Su Changxing froze his finger on the trigger, distinctly feeling the creature’s benevolence.
They stared at each other for over ten seconds before it suddenly dashed towards the steel gates, its body transforming into a shadow, carrying away the gale.
"What’s it doing?"
Zhu Wenwu showed a puzzled expression; he expected the creature to attack them, not run away.
Was it scared?
Su Changxing pondered and said, "Probably not. It possesses intelligence akin to humans, but harbors no animosity towards us."
Then, a soaring howl echoed from the front, resonating amidst the gales.
The howl was like a declaration of war, throwing the entire energy station into chaos. In the next mont, a horde of fleshly, alien monsters poured out from the steel gates, charging towards the Wind Spirit.
A hundred or so.
The Wind Spirit glanced back at them before turning and running in another direction, leading away the rampaging, various-sized creatures.
It diverted the creatures at the gate, seemingly having waited all along for them, or perhaps for anyone, to co.
"Let’s go, we’re going in."
Su Changxing said.
This was their best chance.
As they reached the gate, a small, black creature lunged from above, accompanied by a ticking sound.
Zhu Wenwu deftly pierced the creature’s forehead with his sword, impaling its entire body and drawing out black blood.
"Bang~"
The creature’s body abruptly exploded.
Zhu Wenwu didn’t have ti to dodge, blocking with his arm while falling back, bracing himself against the explosive force.
