Chapter 319: Chapter 315: Mi
"More than one."
Zhu Wenwu retreated, looking at the ground, and shouted.
Su Changxing imdiately fired another shot at the ground, causing pieces of stone to splatter, bursting with blood.
A worm that had just drilled out of the ground was hit directly in the head by Su Changxing, emitting a buzzing scream.
This worm also completely lost its ability to move, stuck in the burrow.
Su Changxing noticed that the soil around the worm appeared fluid-like, similar to sludge, but clearly, such ground shouldn’t look like this.
Is this what they call Earth Elent Affinity?
No wonder these worms can move quickly underground, and the movent isn’t too loud.
As the ground shook, another worm drilled out in front of Zhu Wenwu.
He imdiately slashed at the worm’s body, breaking its skin, and a large amount of blood spurted out.
However, such an injury had little effect on the worm, and its massive size allowed it to crash towards Zhu Wenwu.
Zhu Wenwu was knocked back by the worm’s impact, sliding onto the ground, only feeling like he had been hit by a speeding truck.
The worm let out a painful roar, a larger wound appearing on its body, near its head.
While being hit, Zhu Wenwu slashed again.
These seemingly "weak" creatures were more troubleso than imagined.
This worm didn’t hesitate, retreating back into the hole in the ground, looking like it wanted to escape.
Zhou An stood not far away, feeling a bit helpless. His attack thods seed to pose no threat to such a large creature, and he didn’t know where the worm’s weaknesses were.
Su Changxing ran toward Zhu Wenwu, arriving in front of the worm. When most of the worm’s body was about to retract, he shot it in the head.
The worm’s head exploded into a deep crater, with sothing like brain matter flowing out with purple liquid, emitting visible fluorescence.
"Sothing similar to an Extraordinary Crystal?"
Su Changxing felt that this thing’s fluctuation was very similar to an Extraordinary Crystal and was probably of the sa type of substance.
Zhu Wenwu climbed up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, seemingly uninjured, and said, "This monster is really strong. Luckily, I wasn’t hit directly. There seem to be a few more underground, but they ran away."
Zhou An exclaid, "These worms are afraid too?"
Su Changxing thought for a mont and said, "Probably, which ans this monster isn’t dumb; it knows to avoid harm."
Although the worms hit by Su Changxing hadn’t died imdiately, their Life Force was rapidly draining, and the first one was already dead.
[Killed a Putrid Earth Worm, gained 3000 Points]
Zhu Wenwu wiped the purple liquid off his Steel Sword and comnted:
"This creature’s strength is definitely superior to an average Hunter. I find it tough to handle just one; mostly, their size is too massive, and their Power is too strong. Taking a hit is unbearable."
Su Changxing executed another Earth Worm from its wound with his pistol and said:
"If you have enough proficient combat skills, you can theoretically deal with and kill it."
Zhu Wenwu shrugged, candidly saying, "Unfortunately, I don’t. I should be slightly better than the average person."
Except for the Power of an Extraordinary, Zhu Wenwu wasn’t much different from average people, and the only gap might be his combat courage.
However, Su Changxing’s case was sowhat different. His Spiritual Power was extrely strong, which also led to a much faster improvent in skills, far beyond normal people.
After the earlier episode, Su Changxing gained a clearer understanding of this creature, which might seem powerful and deadly to others.
But to him, it didn’t seem worth ntioning, just a target that he could nearly kill with one shot, and the Earth Worm’s huge size couldn’t dodge at all.
They continued towards their destination, without encountering these worms again along the way, which seed to deliberately avoid Su Changxing and his group.
Zhou An excitedly remarked, "These worms are really scared, haha, they keep avoiding us."
Zhu Wenwu nodded and said, "This also shows they’re very cunning. Such enemies are actually more difficult to deal with, like a snake, always looking for a chance for a fatal strike."
Su Changxing, walking in front, suddenly said, "Do you feel anything in the air?"
"Huh? What?"
Zhou An asked with a puzzled look, not sensing anything unusual.
Su Changxing explained, "A slight, pervasive cold continuously penetrating the body."
Zhou An felt it and said, "Now that you ntion it, it does feel a bit cold. The weather changed too fast, it seed like there was so sun before."
Zhu Wenwu pondered and asked, "Is this from the Energy Station’s radiation?"
Su Changxing confird and said, "Yes, precisely. Theoretically, you will get stronger under this influence, but definitely with side effects."
His Mysteriousness was increasing at an extrely slow rate by itself, and Mysteriousness was linked to the strength of an Extraordinary, aning he was getting stronger.
However, in reality, this "getting stronger" ca at a cost...Su Changxing was well aware.
"Getting stronger?"
Zhu Wenwu frowned slightly, instinctively feeling uneasy, driven by an intuitive sense, also instilled by his position.
"Soone’s ahead."
Zhou An pointed into the distance.
Through the faint mist, several figures appeared far away. They looked agile, definitely not zombies.
Su Changxing checked his phone and said, "Probably people from the Security Bureau, they’re here to et us."
Zhu Wenwu nodded, appearing extrely cautious, not relaxing simply because the opposite was an official organization: "Hmm, this counts as cooperation."
Su Changxing released Tao Yi and said, "Yeah, relax, there shouldn’t be a problem. Our goals align."
In such a post-apocalyptic world, evidently no one could be completely trusted, as anyone could beco a sacrifice, especially regarding the Security Bureau.
When the ti ca to abandon, they’d act more decisively and ruthlessly than most.
It’s necessary for an organization.
Zhou An was excited, unaware of this, saying, "They must have been similar to Special Forces mbers, feels kinda cool."
Zhu Wenwu glanced at him and said, "Just stay quiet later, don’t casually chat."
The newcors were uniformly dressed in tight black combat uniforms, carrying various weapons, masked, making their expressions unreadable.
The leader, tall with a large axe on his back, said in a low voice, "Hello, we are from the Security Bureau’s Special Operations Team, specially here to escort you. Please follow us."
Su Changxing nodded, calmly saying, "Okay, lead the way. Is your team leader here?"
The person glanced at Su Changxing, decisively saying, "Can’t tell you, that’s classified."
