The Card Apprentice - Chapter165

The panicked youths were huddled together, but they were a lot better than they had been when they had run into the swarm of ants.

They were also growing, growing very quickly.

They were unconsciously huddled together, which gave them a sense of security.

In the crowd, Li Duhong's gaze was fixed on Chen Mu, who had his eyes closed, believing Chen Mu would certainly have a way.

Although he didn't understand why Chen Mu would close his eyes, he remembered very clearly that Chen Mu had also closed his eyes the last time they had run into the brilliant ape.

The teacher must be thinking of something!

Li Duhong's little face was flushed, and his heart was burning with anxiety.

Ever since the last time, Chen Mu had started to restrain his use of breath control.

The strong side effects made him believe that if he entered the state of breath control without any restraint, he would very likely die from it.

He felt he was making a deal with the devil, using his life to exchange for a brief but powerful power.

That was no doubt a bad deal, but whenever danger came, he found he had no choice!

What a helpless life!

Chen Mu opened his eyes and abruptly shot up from the ground, like a cannonball being fired into the forest.

The teacher had made his move!

Li Duhong was clenching his little fists tightly, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

It was the first time the other children had seen Chen Mu make a move, and their mouths were agape, stunned to see Chen Mu's attack full of violence and beauty.

At that moment, the camp, which had been in an uproar because of the panic, abruptly sank into silence!

The silence lasted for five seconds!

The camp exploded with a loud bang!

"Good Lord!

Little Mr. Chen is really an ace! "

"Teacher Cheng said that Mr. Chen is really awesome when it comes to flying!"

"So cool!

I also want to learn how to fly! "

…

Li Duhong looked with disdain at those chattering children who had sunk into fanaticism, completely forgetting how fanatical and worshipful he had been that day.

The shock of Chen Mu's sudden move had diluted the fear in their hearts.

Li Duhong was lost in thought as he looked into the depths of the forest, never forgetting the teacher's eyes for the rest of his life!

Although the teacher was usually very easy to talk to, modest and mild, he knew that beneath that mild exterior hid a pair of eyes that were as cold as the grim reaper's.

Chen Mu was very fast. The big mudfish made him go through the jungle with ease, and in the state of breath control, he was able to determine Wei-ah's position in a very short time.

If an attentive ace were to see that scene, he would certainly be shocked to discover that Chen Mu's path forward was made up of countless tiny straight lines.

The twisty path formed by these short lines was shockingly the best path under the current conditions!

What kind of amazing computing ability was required to achieve this?

Chen Mu discovered Wei-ah.

Wei-ah's expression was calm as he confronted a large bug covered in carapace.

It was the first time Chen Mu had seen such a large bug. It was about two meters tall, and its carapace was black and shiny, which looked hard.

His six long legs supported his body, and his movements were very agile and light.

In front of it were two shiny black sickle-shaped claws with a row of barbs as thick as a thumb. The sharp barbs sent chills down one's spine.

Its pair of small green eyes stared at Wei-ah fiercely.

As soon as he saw the bug, Chen Mu felt it was a little tricky.

Its entire body was wrapped in a hard shell, and its feet moved very quickly. It was not clumsy.

The unarmed Wei-ah looked like a weak baby in front of it.

Chen Mu finally saw how Wei-ah fought.

Wei-ah suddenly charged toward the big bug, moving so fast that even Chen Mu, who was in the state of breath control, found it hard to catch.

Almost unconsciously, a set of data floated into Chen Mu's mind, and he made his first judgment. Even if he were to face Wei-ah in the state of breath control, he would certainly lose!

His reaction speed was too far behind his adversary's!

The big bug was clearly quite afraid of Wei-ah, and its two sickle-shaped claws drew out two cold lights to meet Wei-ah, who was charging toward it.

It exceeded his own reaction speed!

Chen Mu had once again come to that undoubtedly discouraging conclusion.

If he were to face that big bug, he couldn't think of any better way than to run away.

Or he could float in midair and attack with the tailless shuttle. That would be a tactic worth trying.

In the state of breath control, Chen Mu was neither sad nor happy. He was as calm as a bystander, and his brain was quickly analyzing.

Wei-ah suddenly bent his waist down, his whole body almost sticking to the ground, and with two frightening flashes, he drilled into the big bug's belly.

Bang!

A sound that sounded like a heavy knock on an iron plate reverberated through the jungle. Chen Mu's eardrums hurt in midair, and he nearly fell from midair.

The big bug had been kicked into midair by Wei-ah!

Too fast!

Wei-ah's kick had been as fast as lightning, and Chen Mu had only seen an afterimage.

That was the first time Chen Mu hadn't been able to clearly see his adversary's movements while in the state of breath control.

The power of that kick from Wei-ah was so great that the big bug had been kicked seven or eight meters into the air.

Wei-ah pulled back slightly, waiting for the big bug to fall.

He could only see Wei-ah completely turn into a mass of shadows, surrounding the big bug's body and launching an extremely frantic attack.

Dense banging sounds rang out incessantly, followed by a loud bang, and the two-meter-tall big insect was sent flying horizontally.

It was the first time Chen Mu had encountered such a violent attack style.

Of course, he wasn't afraid in the state of breath control, but the sets of data generated in his brain were like bright red letters, incomparably eye-catching!

He couldn't keep up with his adversary's attack rhythm!

His chances of winning were less than eight percent!

Each of those judgments and sets of data battered Chen Mu over and over again.

His eyes were still indifferent, but Chen Mu's state of mind was showing a rare ripple.

Still, the big bug's life force was incomparably tenacious, and it was completely unscathed from Wei-ah's storm-like attacks.

It stood up shakily, looking a little dispirited, but its two oily green eyes were still staring fiercely at Wei-ah.

One man and one bug resumed their standoff.

The series of exchanges just then had been like a spark, too fast for the eye to take in, in just a few short seconds.

Wei-ah was expressionless, but it was clear from his heaving chest that it hadn't been easy for him to make that move.

"What do you have to do?" Wei-ah suddenly opened his mouth.

He had long since discovered Chen Mu.

Chen Mu didn't say anything, but directly launched three tailless shuttles!

Three in a row!

A strange whistling sound suddenly sounded, shooting toward the big bug.

The big bug was startled, and its feet moved quickly, wanting to dodge the tailless shuttles falling from the sky.

But the speed of the tailless shuttles exceeded its imagination, and it only had time to move a small step.

Pa, pa, pa!

The three tailless shuttles hit its carapace, setting off a burst of sparks.

Chen Mu looked at the big bug without any expression. He had just locked onto its eyes, never having thought that the big bug's reaction speed would far exceed what he had imagined.

It was the first time he had encountered a creature that could dodge the tailless shuttles.

The creatures in the jungle were really awesome!

Any bug that came out was so hard to deal with.

The three tailless shuttles hadn't left any marks on the bug's carapace.

If Chen Mu hadn't been in the state of breath control, his expression would certainly have changed, though he still had an indifferent expression.

He didn't have any good ideas just then, since the tailless shuttles were already the most powerful means of attack he had.

And three in a row was the limit of what he could achieve.

Wei-ah was also in a dilemma, since the big bug's carapace was really too hard, and his attacks had no effect.

He just hadn't thought that even Chen Mu's attack wouldn't have the slightest effect.

The first time the two of them had joined hands, they had run into a predicament.

The two of them were helpless, but the big bug didn't have any intention of letting them go.

It couldn't do anything about Chen Mu in midair, but Wei-ah was in front of it.

Its glossy green eyes glared, and it pounced murderously toward Wei-ah.

Its speed was so fast that it was in front of Wei-ah in the blink of an eye, its sickle-shaped front claws turning into two shadows sweeping toward Wei-ah.

Wei-ah nimbly dodged it.

But the tree behind him, which was thicker than the mouth of a bowl, suffered a calamity, and with a whoosh, all that was left was a smooth stump.

The big bug didn't leave it at that, and it continued to chase Wei-ah.

The big bug's sickle-shaped front claws were like two lethal weapons, easily able to cut rocks in half.

Even so, it still couldn't touch the hem of Wei-ah's clothes, and he very calmly dodged.

He didn't have any efficient methods just then, so he simply dodged to save his strength.

Looking at the scene, it could be described as hair-raising, as though Wei-ah could lose himself at any moment under the bug's sickle.

Chen Mu wasn't the least bit moved in midair, indifferently watching everything that was happening in front of him. His brain was working at an astonishing speed.

Every detail of the bug's movements was captured with extreme accuracy, and the information he got was immediately analyzed in his brain.

The big bug was protecting its eyes very tightly, and those two big sickles were like two shields, carefully guarding in front of it. If anything went wrong, it would tightly protect its eyes.

From the beginning until then, all the scenes kept flashing in Chen Mu's brain, and each scene was broken down into countless details, with the information of each detail once again gathering in his brain to form a brand new model.

After one minute and 20 seconds, Chen Mu finally found the big bug's weak point!

He only had 30 seconds left!
