Chapter 5: Combat

Keqing was pinned to the ground by Ashuang, and above them, Lili's chest was pierced directly, as a sword-like tongue penetrated Lili but was bizarrely blocked at Tuo Tuo's chest.

She gritted her teeth and stood still, surprisingly not moving at all! She could only watch as the tongue, covered in corrosive slime, approached her.

The reason is simple, I didn't have time. "Xinglv shrugged, "Let me ask you again, would you rather die now or die as a zombie?"

Currently, only Xinglv and Keqing remain among the female members of the team, and Lili's death does not seem to have brought much sorrow to others

Star Traveler raised his left hand, and the knife on his left hand instantly transformed into a large blue shield, effectively blocking the thunderous strike of the crawler

Tuo Tuo stared wide-eyed at the tongue in front of him, which seemed to be forcefully blocked by an invisible barrier, with water-like ripples undulating around it. Then, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Xinglv looked at A Shuang, coldly

Xiao Zhi analyzes that its attack power is comparable to that of the Botu Wang insect larva, but this is merely a general analysis. Regarding the other attack methods of the crawler, Xinglv is not well-informed.

The crawler drew closer, and it was now possible to see its skinless body, with ribs protruding from the muscles, and the muscles and nerves fully exposed. A long, blood-red tail lashed out, striking at everything around it. Star Traveler shouted, "Do not come out! If you hinder me, you will all die!" He tightened his grip on his twin blades and stepped forward.

I truly find it hard to part with it

Lili let out a soft moan.

What do you mean by that

Lily opened her mouth, looking at Xinglv with a gaze that was somewhat resentful and somewhat perplexed

The battle between the beautiful maiden and the ugly crawler surprisingly brings them a sensation known as wonder, with fluid attacks and defenses; the movements of the two killers resemble those that have been rehearsed countless times, filled with a sense of power

That ... ...

Crawlers, as evolved forms of zombies, exhibit an exponential increase in attack power compared to regular zombies

That is a half-transparent door, with the Crawlers blocked outside by the Star Travelers, while the Survivors are frightened inside by the Crawlers

Xing Li swiftly turned, and with a flick of the wrist, severed the crawler's tongue. Then, with a slight tilt of the blade, he smoothly decapitated the crawler. A mental barrier rose, blocking the splattering blood and brain matter.

However, the tongue shot out by the crawler surged into the room like an unstoppable arrow, pointing directly at Keqing

Both the hunter and the prey were stunned, staring blankly at each other

Bang! Pfft!

Xinglv thought for a moment and acknowledged that it could save a lot of trouble, thus nodding and saying: "Mm, understood"

Although the warriors of the Combat and the Book Star People practice both mental strength and physical techniques, both methods pursue direct and brutal forms of attack. Compared to the remote and efficient nature of mental strength, they prefer the bloody and exhilarating experience of close combat where every strike sinks into flesh. Clearly, as a dual cultivator who primarily focuses on mental strength, Xinglv finds herself with little opportunity for close combat in her homeland, which is filled with masters of physical techniques, leaving her feeling extremely restless.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Lili, who was facing the door, finally could not bear the immense fear upon seeing the terrifying face posted on the door. She screamed loudly and hid behind Keqing, squeezing in front of Tuotuo.

Is this monster tracking us

Bang! Xinglv unceremoniously kicked open the door, stepped forward, and pulled apart Ashuang and Keqing: "Still lying there? The mucus from your tongues is dripping down; you are either being penetrated or have turned into zombies... Can you react a bit quicker?"

In the blink of an eye, the Star Traveler has already evaded a total of three attacks after the crawler landed and bounced back again.

Keqing has yet to recover from the moment of life and death just now. Having stood at the forefront without considering anything earlier, she now realizes the preciousness of survival. Her face remains pale, trembling slightly.

As the mouth opened wide, before the starry journey changed colors, a large and sharp tongue suddenly shot out!

Zhang Guohua shook his head: "... ... We do not know; if we had encountered them, perhaps we would have already suffered total defeat."

The crawler was taken aback, a strange light flashing in its eyes. It had been blocked by the Star Traveler just moments ago, leaving it no time or opportunity to pay attention to the people inside. However, at this moment, it was the perfect opportunity

Good. Star Traveler looked around, and everyone was silently watching this way

You are being reckless now!

Data collection is complete; a prompt decision is advised

Strange, why didn't my barrier block for you

Zhang Guohua walked over, feeling indifferent to Xinglv's performance. This time, he simply asked in a flat tone: "Did you know earlier?"

The two were momentarily taken aback, their faces flushing red, but under the oppressive glare of Xinglv, they returned to the room. A Shuang was unwillingly dragged back by Zhang Guohua, feeling quite anxious: "What is that? Xinglv! Don't act recklessly!"

Go back! Star Journey Express, turning around and glaring fiercely at the two of them, "Don't hold me back!"

With Keqing's speed, she could easily evade, but behind her were Lili, who lacked this reaction ability, and Tuotuo, who had been blocked in the innermost position

The eyes were fixed intently on the crawler, but suddenly a creaking sound was heard from behind, and it turned out to be Zhang Guohua and A Shuang, two individuals from hetushu.com, emerging with guns.

But I harmed Lili... If it weren't for Xinglv, Tuo Tuo would have died as well. Ashuang shook his head and smiled bitterly

Star Traveler deftly evaded the massive tail swipe of the crawler, which struck the adjacent wall, creating a large hole. The crawler let out a roar, resembling a rat that, after being toyed with by a cat for a long time, was now fighting for its life, recklessly lunging forward.

Collecting saliva has a strong corrosive effect, which is ineffective against Molybdenum steel and Bopogum, and can be disregarded. The instantaneous force of the tongue is 500 kilograms, which has an instant kill effect on indigenous people, but can be ignored for you

Silently burying Lili's body outside, after the harrowing experience just endured, everyone felt somewhat dejected

She also did not dare to stray too far from the house, fearing that the crawler acted purely on instinct. If it were to directly attack the people inside the house, she would not even have time to save them.

Two muffled sounds were heard, followed by a profound silence. People cautiously opened their eyes, glanced around, and then simultaneously widened their eyes.

[Left, Shield Surface]

"Certainly." Xinglv nodded.

Having said that, she directly met Lili's somewhat angry gaze and asked: "Do you want to die now, or die as a zombie?"

Upon seeing the living creature, the crawler's blood-red eyes suddenly brightened, and with a shriek, it charged forward with all four limbs. Even while in mid-air, a massive blood-red tongue shot out from its gaping maw, aiming directly at the face of Xinglv.

"How far can you escape? Is it useful to talk to you?" Xinglv asked directly, "Also, do you know what this thing is?"

Damn

She is laughing..." Tuo Tuo murmured.

Once again turning sideways, the shield suddenly transformed into a long staff, blocking the crawler's forward momentum. At that moment, the crawler's body was about to press against the door of the house where the survivors were located

A-Shuang walked over and comfortingly patted Ke-Qing, saying, "You don't need to be so strong."

Having said that, he looked at Xinglv earnestly: "I am very glad that you can think of the entire team, always standing at the forefront during battles, but I also hope that in the future, you can discuss matters with us. Sometimes, the strength of many is greater."

Although the crawler is not a suitable opponent at present, its strength and ugliness have successfully stirred the latent savagery within Star Traveler. She employs the human body to launch attacks and defenses from various unconventional angles, gradually experiencing a sense of exhilaration that she has never felt before

Most people cannot bear to close their eyes, yet a brilliance flashes in the eyes of the star traveler

A flash of blue light, swiftly beheading.

Keqing's eyes glistened with tears as she looked weakly at Ashuang and choked out, "Thank you, you saved me"

Lili seems to be smiling wryly

They were all stunned by the battle before them
