Qi Yuan slashed again and again, killing all the insectoid beasts in the hive, including the group of Sand Otters. The entire hive was finally cleared, leaving only the two Rank 3 insectoids that were entangled with Chestnut. They were firmly bound to the ground by the Shadow Energy and could not move.
Qi Yuan held the Decapitator and approached them. Although the two Rank 3 insectoids were ferocious, they were obviously afraid when they saw Qi Yuan. They struggled even harder.
They had witnessed the whole process of Qi Yuan killing the insectoids and had labeled Qi Yuan as a butcher.
"Do you need help?" Qi Yuan used the blood-stained Decapitator to knock on one of the insectoids' heads.
Chestnut nodded. If it was only a Rank 3 insectoid, he would have suffocated it.
Fighting two Rank 3 insectoids at the same time consumed too much of his energy. If he continued fighting, his Shadow Force would be exhausted.
Qi Yuan chuckled and pulled out the ferocious-looking Butcher from his waist.
"I've killed so many Rank 1 and Rank 2 insectoids, but I haven't killed a Rank 3 insectoid yet. Today's a good day for me!"
The Butcher's black muzzle was pressed against the insectoid's heart. The cold touch exuded the threat of death.
"Roar!"
The insectoids struggled and growled from the depths of their throats. They could feel the threat of death from Qi Yuan.
However, under the Shadow Tentacles' restraint, they could not break free no matter how hard they struggled.
Qi Yuan pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A muffled sound was suddenly heard, and a bloody bullet hole instantly appeared on the tough leather armor where the heart of the Insectoid was!
"It's not dead?" Qi Yuan looked at the insectoid in surprise.
Other than the Sandworms, this was the first time he had encountered an insectoid that could withstand the Annihilation Warhead, even if it did not have a Rank 3 defense.
Fresh blood flowed out of the wound, but the insectoid did not fall. Even though Butcher's shot was enhanced with Annihilation Warhead, it only managed to shatter its defenses. It did not manage to shatter its heart and kill this Class 3 insectoid in one shot!
"Roar!"
The insectoid struggled again. The bullet that had penetrated deep into its flesh had a terrifying Annihilation Warhead. Its powerful defense was useless against it.
The bullet was not far from its heart, which meant that the gun could break through its defense. It could block one bullet, but not the second.
Qi Yuan aimed the Butcher's muzzle at the bloody bullet hole and fired again without hesitation.
Bang!
The second bullet wrapped in gray light entered the insectoid's body through the wound and destroyed its beating heart.
The struggling insectoid's body suddenly stiffened, and then its body went limp. It no longer had the strength to resist the shadow's shackles. It only had a sliver of life left as it laid on the ground, twitching in despair.
Taking back the Butcher, Qi Yuan was clearly dissatisfied.
"It took two shots to kill a Rank 3 insectoid!"
Chestnut's mouth twitched. He was speechless at Qi Yuan's old Versailles.
After all, the Butcher was just an ordinary revolver. Not to mention a mechanical weapon like the Radiant Dawn, even the firearms from Master Qu's workshop were more powerful than the Butcher.
The Butcher's power could be expected when dealing with insectoids below Rank 2, but against Rank 3 insectoids, the Butcher was not enough.
A Rank 1 being able to kill a Rank 3 insectoid with the Butcher in two shots was already shocking enough.
If it were any other Rank 1, perhaps half of them would not even be able to withstand the Butcher's powerful recoil.
Even those Rank 1 who could use the Butcher would not be able to break through this Rank 3 insectoid's defense without dislocating their wrists, let alone kill it.
"It's still better to use a blade!"
Qi Yuan mentioned the Decapitator again, and the last Rank 3 insectoid's eyes were filled with despair.
Swoosh!
Qi Yuan slashed down with all his might.
The heavy blade, combined with the explosive power of Steel Strength and Steel Speed, broke through the insectoid's neck defense and decapitated it.
The large head rolled on the ground, and the biting cold instantly froze the flesh on its neck.
Not a single drop of blood flowed out.
Qi Yuan raised the Decapitator in satisfaction. The frost on the blade also did not have a single drop of blood.
Being able to kill a Rank 3 insectoid with one slash meant that he already had the ability to kill a Rank 3 insectoid head-on. Whether it was a Rank 3 ability user or a Rank 3 insectoid, at least he would not be crushed.
Chestnut looked at the corpse on the ground with lingering fear, and then looked at the cold blade in Qi Yuan's hand. The shock brought by this slash was even greater than the previous two shots.
This slash could decapitate a Rank 3 insectoid, and similarly, it could kill most of the Rank 3 Iron Chariots.
Apart from those Rank 3 Combat Domains with enhanced defense, there was probably no one who could block the sharpness of Qi Yuan's slash!
After the insectoid fell, the corpse that was still warm finally melted the ice on its neck. Scarlet blood instantly gushed out and dyed the barren land red.
Retrieving the Decapitator, Qi Yuan gazed into the distance. He saw the jeep that was running around like a wild horse, and the Luan standing on top of it.
Seeing the Luan firing shot after shot at the ground, Chestnut's expression became serious.
"The enemy is underground?" Qi Yuan asked.
Chestnut nodded lightly.
"Who is it that the Luan is so persistent in hunting them down?" Qi Yuan was puzzled.
From the Luan's attitude, it was obvious that it would not rest until the person was dead. If there was no deep hatred, the Luan would not do this.
Chestnut hesitated for a moment, but decided not to hide it from Qi Yuan. After all, Qi Yuan was also involved in this matter, and had a certain right to know.
"It should be someone from another gathering point, but I don't know who it is."
"Another gathering point?" Qi Yuan's brows furrowed.
The closest gathering point to the Iron Chariots, Lionheart Castle, was hundreds of kilometers away from here. How could two such distant gathering points fight each other?
Wolf's Teeth Hunt represented the will of Ling You, and the interests of the entire Iron Chariots. What kind of conflict of interests could make two gathering points hundreds of kilometers away from each other become enemies?
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan suddenly thought of Blackstone Town and Crescent Town. Just two black iron mines, and Crescent Town came out in full force and almost annexed Blackstone Town.
The strength of the Iron Chariots was more than a hundred times stronger than that of Blackstone Town. The other gathering points that dared to attack Wolf's Teeth Hunt were definitely not weak.
Ordinary interests or hatred might cause a conflict between the two parties, but it was absolutely impossible to involve Wolf's Teeth Hunt. The Luan's attitude had already vaguely indicated that the hatred between them should not be a simple personal grudge.
What kind of conflict of interests could cause such a level of conflict?
Qi Yuan asked tentatively. This time, Chestnut shook his head and did not give an answer.
Qi Yuan did not ask much about the grudge between the two gathering points. He did not realize, and neither did Chestnut, that the enemy was not targeting Wolf's Teeth Hunt, but Qi Yuan himself.
After Qi Yuan entered the crypt and completed his Sign In, he did not stay down for long. He returned to the surface and silently watched the Luan chase after its target like a game of whack-a-mole.
Maybe it was a panic, or maybe it was a coincidence, but after the two parties chased for a while, Qi Yuan saw Xiao Hei driving the Jeep towards his direction.
"You actually came all the way to my place?" Qi Yuan smiled as he stepped to the side to make way.
The Jeep sped past.
After less than ten seconds, Qi Yuan saw Xiao Hei driving the Jeep in a huge arc and then rushed towards him again.
If he did not know Xiao Hei well, he would have thought that Xiao Hei was deliberately trying to hit him with the Jeep.
The guy below was doing it on purpose!
Qi Yuan's eyes turned slightly cold as he once again stepped to the side to give way.
The guy below could not only sense the Jeep's position, but he could also sense his own position. He knew that he could not escape and purposely used this method to interfere with Xiao Hei's pursuit.
"A Perception Domain ability user!" Chestnut was also a little surprised by the enemy's ability.
After getting out of the Jeep's way again, Qi Yuan's heart finally showed a trace of anger.
Do you really think that I can't do anything to you just because you're hiding underground?
Qi Yuan held the Bug Beast Detector in his right hand and integrated the Sign In points he just received into it.
The Bug Beast Detector quietly disappeared and turned into a gentle energy that entered the Talent Tree and lit up a brand new gray ball of light.
Area detection!
A glint flashed across Qi Yuan's eyes. The moment he activated his newly acquired ability, the entire world suddenly became clear. Even the slightest movement within a hundred meters was easily reflected in his senses.
Not only did he not have any blind spots behind him, even the top of his head and the bottom of his feet could be seen clearly.
Qi Yuan could clearly "see" every pebble buried in the soil, the maze-like underground caverns, and a man whose eyes were emitting green light and whose limbs were on the ground quickly shuttling through the caverns.
You're courting death!
Qi Yuan instantly locked onto the enemy underground and slowly pulled out the Decapitator from his waist.
In the dark cave, the man who was panting because of his continuous escape suddenly felt a chill in his heart. It was as if he was being watched by heaven and earth.
What's going on?
Could it be that the other members of Wolf's Teeth are coming?
The man didn't have time to think before he "saw" Luan standing on top of the Jeep pull the trigger again. The man suddenly accelerated and just happened to dodge the energy beam shot by Steel Rose.
Although penetrating the thick layer of soil caused the power of Steel Rose's energy beam to be reduced by more than half and couldn't cause serious injuries to him, he still didn't dare to use his body to resist Luan's attack.
"Continue to persevere!
Persevere until the energy of Steel Rose in this bitch's hand is exhausted, then they won't be able to attack me! "
The man silently thought. Constantly escaping in the cave required a lot of stamina. The attack of Steel Rose also required a lot of energy. As long as the energy of Steel Rose was exhausted, Wolf's Teeth Hunt wouldn't have an effective way to attack underground and he would have a chance to escape.
Just as the man was trying to make use of the other people on the ground to interfere with the jeep's pursuit and avoid danger, he suddenly saw the young man he had used as an obstacle. The young man was holding a strange-looking machete and was staring coldly at him!
That cold gaze made the man's heart tremble. He suddenly found the source of the trace of danger just now.
Could it be that he also has the Perception Domain ability and can sense my position?
No!
This person is the target of this mission – The Abyss!
How is he still alive?
Those Sand Otters' claws were already smeared with poison. How is he not poisoned?
Could it be that he wasn't touched by the Sand Otters?
But how is this possible!
Seven Tier 1 Sand Otters and one Tier 2 Sand Otter. Unless it was a Tier 3 Speed Enhancer, otherwise, who could be unharmed under their surprise attack?
Before he could think of an answer, he saw the mission target slowly raise the curved sword in his hand, preparing to slash downwards.
What is he trying to do?
Does he think he can slash me?
The distance between me and the ground is already more than three meters. Even Steel Rose's attack has been weakened to the extreme. Why does he think he can attack me?!
"I'll block him. Don't let him escape!" Qi Yuan suddenly shouted.
Luan glanced at Qi Yuan and didn't say much. She only nodded her head.
If it was someone else who said this, she wouldn't care. Even if it was a Tier 3 Elemental Domain that controlled the power of the earth, it was basically impossible to penetrate such a thick layer of soil and affect the mouse below.
But when Qi Yuan said this, she felt that she could give it a try. Qi Yuan's previous powerful battle record gave her an inexplicable trust. She decided to believe in Qi Yuan this time.
The man underground didn't know that Qi Yuan and Luan were already preparing to work together. But facing Qi Yuan who had raised his curved sword, he wasn't willing to take any risks. When he passed by a fork in the road ahead, he was about to turn around Qi Yuan.
At this time, Luan suddenly turned her gun. The sudden shot instantly pierced through the soil and almost hit him.
The man's pupils shrank. If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have been hit in the head.
Although he dodged Steel Rose's attack, the man had no choice but to give up on turning around the fork and continue rushing forward.
Under the threat of Steel Rose, he didn't dare to stop. Once he stopped, the probability of being hit by Steel Rose would increase exponentially.
The man raised his head and looked at Qi Yuan, only to see a pair of cold eyes staring at him.
Their gazes seemed to pierce through the thick soil, meeting each other in the void!
From Qi Yuan's eyes, the man saw a trace of cold killing intent that penetrated his heart!
Even if you can "see" me, I don't believe you can attack me!
You're only a Tier 1. How can you penetrate several meters of the ground and attack underground!
The man lowered his head and growled. Although he didn't believe that The Abyss could penetrate the ground, that cold killing intent was clearly reflected in his mind. He subconsciously quickened his pace and tried to quickly pass under Qi Yuan's feet.
The moment they were about to cross, the fatal danger instantly rose to the extreme!
The man suddenly raised his head. He saw The Abyss suddenly slashing at his feet.
Even though they were separated by several meters of thick soil, the moment he "saw" Qi Yuan's slash, the man's pupils still shrank.
This slash seemed to have cut through space and slashed directly at his body.
Although he knew that this was just an illusion, the man still subconsciously dodged sideways and didn't dare to let the slash land on his body.
"What's Qi Yuan doing?"
Xiao Hei looked suspiciously at Qi Yuan who was slashing at the ground.
"You'll know soon!"
A faint trace of expectation appeared in Luan's eyes.
Could it be that Qu Shi had completed the last step of the Decapitator and could erupt with Energy Outpour?
Qi Yuan's seemingly crazy performance reminded her of the Decapitator's strongest outburst, the legendary powerful ability that could instantly kill a Tier 3 defense!
Luan originally thought that she would see Energy Outpour in Long Han's hands, but Long Han unexpectedly died in battle. Then, Qu Shi stopped forging this sword.
Slowly, Luan deliberately chose to forget. She thought that she would never see Energy Outpour bloom again. She never thought that she would be able to witness the explosion of Energy Outpour in the hands of others!
The chilling Decapitator was like a knife cutting through butter. It broke through the soil under its feet until it disappeared into the hilt!
Energy Outpour!
Qi Yuan's eyes focused. The violent power of frost poured out like a cold wave in an instant.
