Fang nodded.
"After Qi Yuan delivered Asterite No.1 to us, he suddenly disappeared. We were confronting Ghostface and the others at the time, so no one noticed his departure. I originally thought that Qi Yuan had retreated with the main force, but I didn't expect him to not be here."
Sickle frowned, as if he didn't understand why Qi Yuan had disappeared.
Qi Yuan had slaughtered several Tier 3 Pinnacle leaders, so the two sides were like fire and water. Naturally, it was impossible for him to retreat with the other side.
The old city was a mess, and the Polluters and Polluters were wreaking havoc, so he didn't dare to show himself easily. Qi Yuan didn't have the ability to escape, and if he was surrounded, it would be a dead end.
"I'll go find him!" Chestnut suddenly mustered up his courage and said.
Shadow Shuttle still had some survival ability in the chaotic old city, but if he encountered the intelligent Polluters and some Polluters, even Shadow Shuttle might not be able to leave alive.
"What are you doing, kid? You'll die if you go back!" Sickle said mercilessly.
"You guys go first, I'll go find him!"
Before he finished his words, Sickle didn't wait for Zhui to say anything and turned into a bloody shadow and quickly disappeared.
Zhui looked in the direction where the bloody shadow disappeared, his expression serious.
"We'll go first!"
The few of them boarded the jeep and rushed into the distance.
The balls of light were extinguished one by one, and the old city that was as bright as day slowly fell into the abyss of darkness. The streets were filled with Polluters and Polluter Beasts running around.
Qi Yuan ran madly. With the Trickster's existence, no Polluters dared to cause trouble for him, but the Polluters seemed to have gone mad as they chased after him.
At this moment, more than ten Polluters had gathered behind Qi Yuan.
Along the way, Qi Yuan had already witnessed the strength of these corruptors. Normal rank 3 aptitude users were like paper toys in front of them, easily torn apart. Many of the corruptors were large in size, and a headshot was useless. They could only be killed by destroying their corruptors.
However, there were too many Polluters here, and their defenses were very strong. If he didn't activate the acceleration energy matrix of Doomsday Strike, even with the Tier 1 Annihilation Warhead, it would be difficult to destroy their defenses in one shot.
Needless to say, these Polluters were very fast. Even with the acceleration energy matrix, they had a certain probability of dodging Doomsday Strike's attack.
Not to mention, there was a man-eating monster underground!
Maintaining the area detection and avoiding the attacks of the Polluters had consumed a lot of his Extraordinary Energy, so Qi Yuan didn't dare to use Annihilation Warhead recklessly.
Once his Extraordinary Energy was exhausted, he would fall into the Polluters …
After witnessing the scene of the Polluted Beast eating humans, Qi Yuan did not dare to imagine the consequences. That would truly be dying without an intact corpse.
Roar!
An angry roar suddenly came from the building next to him. With a loud bang, the wall of the building shattered, and a four-meter-tall Polluter that looked like a giant bear rushed out of the broken cave.
The giant bear was emitting a terrifying aura, and it was holding a broken corpse in its mouth. It stomped on a car parked on the side of the road, and let out a violent roar.
This was a Pinnacle Tier 3 Polluter!
Qi Yuan's mouth was wide open, but before he could say anything, he saw the cement road in front of him shatter, and a black python with its body raised came out of the ground.
The black python's eyes were as black as ink, and its forked tongue flickered in and out of its mouth. It locked onto Qi Yuan who was charging at it.
Another Pinnacle Tier 3 Polluter!
Qi Yuan cursed in his heart. The aura emitted by these two polluting beasts was not any weaker than Venom's. In addition, there was a group of polluting beasts behind them. They did not want to give him any chance of survival.
He was obviously being targeted!
In this old city, apart from Xu Kui, the only one who could control these Polluters was that man-eating monster!
However, from the scene in the laboratory, it was more likely that the man-eating monster was the culprit.
Seeing that the path was blocked by the black python, Qi Yuan gritted his teeth and pulled out the Decapitator from his waist. Against a Pinnacle Tier 3 Polluter, normal attacks were useless. Unless Doomsday Strike hit the core of the Polluter, it would be no different from being bitten by an ant, and would not cause any serious damage.
Seeing that he was about to enter the attack range of the giant python, Qi Yuan did not slow down, and the giant python suddenly opened its mouth to bite him.
A foul wind raged in the giant python's mouth, and the air seemed to be oppressed by it. A strong wind pressed down on him, and Qi Yuan instantly felt that it was difficult to move.
His body seemed to be bound by invisible chains.
Such a powerful body, and the ability to control the air with the Elemental Domain!
Qi Yuan's expression became very serious. If Steel Strength had not been strengthened to Tier 2, the giant python's bite would have made him stand there and wait for death.
Steel Strength erupted, and Qi Yuan quickly broke free from the invisible shackles of the air. His body suddenly rolled forward, just in time to avoid the giant python's bite.
In the giant python's mouth, the hard concrete floor was like foam, and a huge hole was bitten out of it.
Taking advantage of the moment when the giant python's attack missed, Qi Yuan suddenly jumped, and like a cannonball, he directly landed on the back of the giant python's bow, and the Decapitator in his hand slashed at the giant black python's body.
Qi Yuan growled, and Steel Strength erupted again, and the Decapitator's blade ignited with purple flames.
This kind of huge Polluter not only had great lethality, but its huge body also gave it an almost crushing speed advantage. If it did not die, there was no chance for him to escape.
The giant black python's scales were hard, but they could not stop Qi Yuan's full power eruption.
The purple flame blade broke through the scales, and with a squelch, cut into the giant python's body.
Energy poured out!
Qi Yuan growled, and the energy core of the Decapitator surged wildly, releasing all the energy inside in an instant, pouring into the giant black python's body through the Decapitator's blade.
The giant black python had just raised its head when its body suddenly stiffened in place. A black flame gushed out from the small wound on its back, and through the black scales, a blazing purple flame could be faintly seen raging in its body, wildly spreading to both sides.
Qi Yuan pulled out his blade and left.
After the giant black python froze for two seconds, the purple flame quickly burned through its body, gushing out from every gap in its scales, and finally turned into a burning purple flame, illuminating the dark night sky of the old city.
The Polluter that was chasing stopped subconsciously, its ink-black pupils staring at the burning giant python, not daring to take a step forward.
Until a few seconds later, the giant black python's huge body turned into ashes under the burning of the purple flame. The giant Polluter Bear roared and chased in the direction Qi Yuan left.
On the roof of a building, the monster girl riding a Polluter Beast stopped chasing and looked at the human girl in front of her with her head tilted. To be precise, she was looking at the shadow floating behind her.
If Arc Light was here, he would have discovered that Qing Lei, who had mysteriously disappeared, had unknowingly appeared on the rooftop. Furthermore, she had single-handedly blocked this monstrous young lady that even Qi Yuan was terrified of.
"What … do … you … want … to … do …?"
"I want your blood!" The shadow behind Qinglei said with a hollow voice.
The monster girl was not angry. She glanced at Qinglei, who was scorched black, and said, "You … want … to … save … her?"
The shadow nodded.
"She is my mother. Only your blood can save her!"
After she finished speaking, Qing Lei extended her hand and handed over two star energy stones. She had taken advantage of the chaos and killed two aptitude users to obtain these star energy stones.
"I can use this in exchange!"
Seeing the Asterite in Qinglei's hand, the monster girl swallowed again. She hesitated for a moment and said with some hesitation.
"One … star … energy … stone … for … one … drop … of … blood!"
The shadow nodded.
"Deal!"
The monster girl stretched out her right hand, and a crack appeared in her palm. Two drops of scarlet blood flowed out from the crack and slowly floated in her palm.
Under the monster girl's command, the two drops of scarlet blood floated towards Qinglei, and Qinglei threw the two blood-stained Asterite to the monster girl.
Qinglei opened her mouth and caught the two drops of scarlet blood, and swallowed them into her stomach.
As the blood entered her stomach, Qinglei let out a painful groan. Her body shook slightly as if she could fall at any time.
The shadow floating behind her quickly merged into her body.
Soon, Qinglei's weak heartbeat became strong!
Qinglei gasped with difficulty. Every time she breathed, she seemed to be able to spit out a mouthful of black smoke. That was her burned internal organs, and they were recovering at a miraculous speed. Her body, which was originally burned into charcoal, was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The monster girl looked at Qinglei, who was recovering quickly, and opened her mouth, eating the Asterite in her hand like an apple.
Her teeth were no different from an ordinary girl's, but when she bit on the hard Asterite, she left a hole in it. Soon, the two fist-sized Asterite were swallowed into the monster girl's stomach like snacks.
The monster girl licked her fingers as if she hadn't had enough yet, as if she wasn't full yet.
In less than a minute, Qinglei's body was also reborn. The charred flesh all over her body had fallen off, and in its place was a brand new, tender skin.
Qinglei opened her eyes and looked at the monster girl in front of her. She already knew what happened to her body, and also knew what kind of existence this monster girl in front of her was.
"Thank you for your help!" Qinglei said softly.
The death of Hui freed her, and the rebirth of her body gave her a second chance at life. At this time, although Qinglei was naked, she already had the powerful aura of a peak stage three.
The monster girl took a deep look at Qing Lei. She then drove the polluting beast that served as her mount and walked down along the straight wall.
"Don't … stay … here … The enemy … will … come … soon!"
Qinglei looked at the monster girl's back, and her body shook, and soon disappeared from the roof.
After beheading the black python, Qi Yuan used the shock of the burning corpse to get rid of the polluting beast's pursuit for a short time, but soon, the black giant bear in the lead caught up.
The Giant Tainted Bear was like a violent bulldozer. There was nothing that could stop it from chasing after them.
In front of the giant bear, Qi Yuan's thin and weak body was visible to the naked eye. If it was not for the fact that the area detection was powerful enough, Qi Yuan would have been smashed into a pile of minced meat by the giant bear's whack-a-mole attacks several times.
Seeing that Qi Yuan was about to escape the range of the old city, the giant bear seemed to have lost all its patience. It suddenly raised its thick forelimbs, and then stomped heavily on the hard concrete ground.
Boom!
Savage Trample!
Compared to the Savage Trample used by Rock Helmet to deal with Gray Eye, the giant bear's Savage Trample was obviously more powerful and terrifying.
The great power made the ground suddenly sink, and then the depression spread outwards like a water wave, and finally spread to a large circle with a diameter of close to ten meters.
Although Qi Yuan managed to avoid the giant bear's stomp, he could not avoid the spreading tremors of the earth. His body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground, his originally nimble speed instantly dropping.
Without waiting for Qi Yuan to move again, the giant bear's thick forelimbs were raised high again.
"Again!"
Qi Yuan's eyelids jumped. Savage Trample was an extremely violent ability, and although it could cause great destruction, it also put a great burden on the body. If a normal third rank ability user dared to use Savage Trample continuously like this, their legs would be crippled after a few uses!
Qi Yuan who did not have time to stand still rolled forward, and once again avoided the giant bear's Savage Trample.
The earth once again shook fiercely, and the instant the spreading ripples reached Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan's body was thrown into the air like a stone.
"Not good!"
Qi Yuan's eyebrows jumped, and he instantly realized that he underestimated the giant bear's battle intelligence.
After using the energy torrent to kill the black Polluter, Qi Yuan subconsciously treated the Polluter as a bestial Polluter without intelligence. However, this giant Polluter Bear used two Barbaric Tramples in a row, causing Qi Yuan to pay the price for his subconscious underestimation.
Qi Yuan who was thrown into the air, had nowhere to go, and naturally could not avoid the giant bear's next attack.
The giant bear opened its big mouth, and suddenly opened its mouth to bite Qi Yuan who was thrown into the air.
Facing the giant bear's fatal bite, Qi Yuan's eyes focused, and his right hand instantly pulled out the Doomsday Striker from his waist. The muzzle of the gun was not aimed at the giant bear's bloody mouth, but at its lower abdomen.
After the entanglement just now, he had already found the giant bear's only weak point.
That was where its core was located!
Purple light bloomed, and Qi Yuan instantly pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A muffled gunshot was heard.
In close combat, the giant bear had no room to dodge, and a special bullet wrapped in gray light instantly went into the giant bear's body.
Before the giant bear could bite Qi Yuan's head, the bullet directly pierced through the tough leather armor on its abdomen, and hit the pollution core hidden deep in the black mucus.
The giant bear's vitality was far more tenacious than the insectoids, and any other peak rank 3 aptitude user would inevitably have to go through a bloody battle to kill it.
But in front of Qi Yuan, the pollution core that had nowhere to hide became its fatal weakness, as long as it could not dodge the Doomsday Striker's close range shots, the special bullet + acceleration energy matrix + Annihilation Warhead's full force attack was enough to kill this dangerous giant monster.
Against the polluters, area detection was like a clairvoyance hack, no matter how well the pollution core was hidden, it could not escape the area detection's clairvoyance.
