Chapter 钢棍无锋

Steel clubs were blunt, offering little damage to the tentacles. Li Ang simply put the steel club away and pulled out a potent poison dagger.

With the help of the spider claws extending from his back, he leaped onto the ceiling, barely dodging the attacking tentacles.

Li Ang's back pressed tightly against the ceiling.

He slashed downwards with the short blade in his hand, effortlessly cutting through the water-bucket-thick, tough tentacle as if it were a hot knife slicing through butter.

Blood splattered, and thick liquid gushed out.

However, the Aberrant Progenitor's growth and recovery speed were many times faster than the urban legend of the six-winged chickens used exclusively by the Golden Arches.

The severed cross-section of the tentacle quickly grew a small tentacle, which grew rapidly upon exposure to the air, recovering to seventy or eighty percent of its original state in just two or three seconds.

In this critical moment, Wanlifengdao, whose face resembled that of an oily middle-aged man in his late twenties due to excessive fatigue, revealed a hint of indifference, as if he had seen through life and death.

"Buy me some time."

He roared, shaking off the blood on his body, stepped back half a step, and gently placed his fingers on the hilt of his sword.

Facing the sky full of tentacles, he actually closed his eyes, as if he had given up resisting.

Consumption: 15% of total stamina

Cooldown: 5 minutes

Note: I wish to use the sword at my waist to directly slay Loulan

This title skill was obtained by Wanlifengdao in his previous script mission, which was set against the backdrop of the Battle of Hengros.

It was powerful, but its only drawback was that it required a charging time of several seconds.

In a life-or-death struggle, half a second was enough to determine the outcome, making it extremely difficult to squeeze out such a long charging time.

Wanlifengdao chose to place his last hope on his two teammates.

Although they had never met before and had not communicated much after being assigned to the same script mission,

Twilight Knight still chose to believe in this unremarkable middle-aged man.

He stood next to Wanlifengdao, sweeping his long spear and releasing lightning, accurately hitting the rampaging tentacles that came like a tide.

Li Ang also casually took out a series of fragmentation shouliudàn, and thermite ranshaoping, throwing them towards the Aberrant Progenitor while,

Lowering the spider claws, getting close to the ground, and wielding the poison dagger to cut off some of the tentacles.

The constantly severed tentacles in front of the corridor did not affect the Aberrant Progenitor in the slightest. It still maintained its unhurried pace, as if it had already determined that it would devour Li Ang and the others.

Stonemason, Zhuang Pengpai, and Black Saint had already been swallowed into the Aberrant Progenitor's belly in the first wave of tentacle attacks.

The ubiquitous flesh carpet within its body filled the three players' activity space, restricting not only their breathing but also their limbs,

They could only feel the flesh carpet corroding the protective suits they were wearing, and even further, beginning to melt the skin on their bodies.

"Boom!"

The shouliudàn thrown by Li Ang exploded, and the tentacles in front were blasted to pieces. The tentacles behind were also cut with strips of wounds by the iron shards that flew everywhere.

The thermite ranshaoping was also burning fiercely. The extremely high temperature, enough to melt steel, was indeed not something that flesh and blood could withstand.

The tentacles near the ranshaoping were scorched and roasted, and a second smell besides the bloody smell permeated the air the smell of grilled meat.

Various factors combined to slow down the Aberrant Progenitor's advance, and the tentacles it swung paused in the air for less than half a second.

The Progenitor, acting purely on instinct, subconsciously felt "anger" at the pain.

For the first time, it wanted to tear the prey in front of it into pieces this was the most primitive emotion, unrelated to eating.

It angrily quickened its pace forward. Its heavy body, comparable to an armored vehicle, crushed the still-burning thermite completely into the alloy floor.

Seeing that it was about to rush out of the T-shaped corridor intersection, Wanlifengdao finally completed his charge.

The young man, who looked like a middle-aged man on the outside but was actually an old hunk born in the nineties, suddenly opened his eyes and slashed diagonally with the Han sword in his hand, drawing a semi-circular arc in the air.

A crescent moon bloomed in the corridor.

"Clang!"

The crescent-shaped sword qi flew forward unstoppably, and any obstacles were cut and lifted into the air by the sword qi.

Dozens of tentacles were cut into countless pieces. Even the Aberrant Progenitor, who had a very high pain tolerance, could not help but scream.

At the same time, the unknown acute virus applied by the poison dagger began to take effect, corroding its body.

But, this was not fatal.

As long as the Life Template was there, as long as the flesh carpet was there, the Aberrant Progenitor would never be defeated.

Wait, what was that thing wielding spider claws and sliding down from the ceiling like a burrowing rat?

The Aberrant Progenitor, which did not have much "intelligence", stared blankly as Li Ang waved the dagger in his hand to chop off the remaining tentacles that were whipping at him, sliding over rapidly.

"After Alphonse activated the self-destruct device, the system determined that mission objective 1 and mission objective 2 were completed,

but it did not consider mission 3 (eliminate the Aberrant Progenitor),

and mission 4 (destroy the Life Template) to be completed as well."

Li Ang thought silently as he rushed towards the Aberrant monster, "This also means that the system believes that a simple nuclear explosion

cannot kill the Progenitor, nor can it destroy the Template.

Combining the Aberrant Progenitor's stupid act of charging towards the control room without dodging, it can be assumed that it did not survive by escaping the blast range.

A monster that even a nuclear bomb cannot completely kill can probably only be dealt with in this way."

While his thoughts were racing, he had already slid to directly above the Aberrant monster. The spider claws on his back suddenly bounced, propelling him towards the back of the Progenitor, the area where the Life Template was located.

Thud.

Li Ang's feet heavily stomped on the Aberrant Progenitor's hard and thick back carapace. The spider claws, like climbing axes, were deeply embedded into the carapace crevices, stabilizing his figure.

The Aberrant monster seemed to sense something. Its upper body arched high, and the newly grown tentacles snapped shut towards Li Ang like a Venus flytrap.

Just as the tentacles were about to hit Li Ang, suddenly, a violent roar came from its abdominal cavity, and the entire centipede body paused.

This fleeting gap was enough for Li Ang to firmly grip the hilt of the poison dagger with both hands and stab downwards towards the carapace where the Life Template was located.

The unstoppable blade did not encounter any resistance. Li Ang gritted his teeth, grasped the hilt, and twisted it violently, gouging out the entire Life Template.

The moment it was separated from the Template, the Aberrant Progenitor's originally raised head drooped down as if it had been drained of all its strength.

On the contrary, the flesh carpet behind it writhed madly, sweeping over like a frenzy.

Mission objective 2 eliminate Aberrant Progenitor has been completed. Current team score plus three.

The sound of the prompt that the Aberrant Progenitor had been eliminated rang in his ears. Li Ang panted heavily and, through his gloves, put the Life Template into his backpack.

At the same time, Alphonse, who saw his action through the wall seam camera, revealed a grim look and unhesitatingly slammed down on the button on the main control panel that accelerated the nuclear explosion countdown.

The Life Template is by no means a compassionate and kind goddess.

It will, and only will, bring endless disasters.

No one should possess it.

Hundreds of nuclear bombs buried in various places in the experimental base detonated instantly. Alphonse, who was already determined to die, could not see,

that before they were swallowed by the light and flames, those players had already disappeared from the spot.
