Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Capability
Although the meat worm was attacked by the corrosive liquid attack, the actual damage wasn’t very severe, so Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to fight it at the moment. Moreover, because meat worms were able to move very fast on the giant plants, but if they fell on the ground, strangely, they became very slow.
Gathering the strength in his legs, Chu Yunsheng kicked the branch, and then jumped over the meat worm. As soon as he landed behind the meat worm, he started to slide down the branch.
To the meat worm, there was no such thing as front or back, or at least, this was what Chu Yunsheng thought. When it sensed Chu Yunsheng jumped over it, It instantly moved backward to chase Chu Yunsheng.
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng has already taken out another bag of corrosive liquid. After smas.h.i.+ng it into the meat worm’s mouth, he quickly retreated to the ground.
After being attacked by the corrosive liquid twice, the meat worm was furious. One of its mouths that was further away from Chu Yunsheng, suddenly sucked the branch below it and tightly locked itself on the branch, then it started to compress its body until it suddenly bounced out like a rubber. In a split second, the monster’s first mouth reached Chu Yunsheng.
While it was still in the air, it opened its mouth wide and began to suck the air in. Instantly, Chu Yunsheng felt a strong wind, pus.h.i.+ng him towards the meat worm.
At this moment, he didn’t dare to jump away. Because he left the ground he would lose all the supports to stop him from being sucked into the meat worm’s mouth. Instead, he stabbed the sword deep into the concrete ground below him while two feet were against the giant root. He needed to endure it until the meat worm completely stopped sucking air, then he would launch the attack again, and at that time, he would not stop the attack, until he killed it completely!
The wind was very strong, and it was constantly pus.h.i.+ng Chu Yunsheng towards the meat worm’s mouth. Qian Bi sword was slowly being dragged across the ground until it reached the plant’s root. It was then stopped by the strange giant plant!
It was a painful struggle and it lasted about ten minutes. Chu Yunsheng estimated that the meat worm had probably consumed most of its energy, so he thought that it was now the time to initiate the attack.
The reason why he thought that way was that he himself also couldn’t hold it much longer. He was afraid that if he waited a few more seconds, he would really be sucked into the worm’s mouth.
The second reason was that even if he could hold on a little longer, the meat worm would also be exhausted with its energy, then it would be pointless to kill it, because he would not be able to harvest any energy from it.
Using his left hand to perform an incantation gesture, he took out three huge bags of corrosive liquid. If he had not increased his physical strength, there was no way he would be able to lift these three huge bags of corrosive liquid.
Without aiming, he just released the bags and they were instantly sucked into the worm’s mouth.
Meat worms’ strong sucking ability would usually consume a lot of their energies. Plus this one had already wasted some of its energy hunting the red-eyed monsters earlier, so it started to react violently to the three bags of corrosive liquid inside its body.
Many traces of green smoke began to slowly appear from its mouths and skin, and the meat worm started to constantly groan in pain with its mouths closed. The middle part of its body has already swollen up, and its whole body was squeezed together, making its skin become even more wrinkled. It looked very disgusting.
This was the moment that Chu Yunsheng had been waiting for. He quickly pulled out the sword, jumped towards the meat worm. The sword was filled with Yuan Qi, and it was instantly hacked on the meat worm’s body.
Without sufficient energy to support it, the elasticity of the meat worm’s skin was greatly reduced. With just one cut, a huge wound was opened up on its body!
Chu Yunsheng’s advantage was his speed. He could swing the sword ten times within a second, so with his fast counter-attack ability, he immediately reversed the dangerous situation.
The meat worm probably sensed the death was slowly coming towards it, so it twisted its body and began to climb up the branch as fast as it could.
However, there was no way Chu Yunsheng would give it a chance to escape. The flaming monster was living on top of those giant plants. It was the danger zone for him. Once he climbed up, he would have to face the potential death situation.
The meat worm was crawling fast. However, Chu Yunsheng was even faster. When it reached an intersection of two roots, he immediately used the sword to stick it onto the root. At the same time, he quickly took out the gun and started to fire it non-stop, until it completely stopped moving.
The gun Chu Yunsheng used had a sound suppressor. It was taken from Commander Du. Similarly, he also got his bullets from Commander Du as well. However, unlike the sound suppressor, Commander Du was very reluctant to give bullets to him.
Grabbing the dead meat worm, Chu Yunsheng jumped over several roots continuously until he returned to the bookstore. He did not dare to stay at the place where he killed the meat worm. The visibility was very limited outside, and he also did not know when the flaming monster would dive down from the top of those giant plants, and when a group of red-eyed monsters would appear, so staying outside was very dangerous to him.
The meat worm had already consumed half of its Yuan Qi, but it still filled up an entire absorption talisman. However, its Yuan Qi element was different than the others. This time, the new absorption talisman was filled with strange plant patterns.
Chu Yunsheng then made a new storage talisman to store all the monsters’ bodies. He even stored the meat worm’s entire body. Although it was disgusting, he still remembered what the unshaven man said. This monster’s meat was edible. Even if he didn’t want to eat it, he could probably use it to exchange for something else in Jin Ling city in the future.
Before Chu Yunsheng went downstairs, he searched the entire bookstore. He tried to find any books that might lead him to understand the ancient book, especially the books on archaeological studies.
From section two to section six, and then section three, Chu Yunsheng killed meat worms one after another, during which he was almost sucked into the meat worm’s mouth once, but luckily, he got away that time. So in the end, he had killed five meat worms in total. He was also quite happy that from the beginning to the end, he did not encounter any flaming monsters.
When it was near the time for the fog walls to change their patterns, he followed the map that professor Fang gave to him and returned to Jin Jiang building.
Troops had already collected the first batch of the red-sh.e.l.led insects’ bodies and they were all stored behind the building. He did not inform Commander Du that he had come back, he just went to the storage place and stored all the bodies into the storage talisman.
Staff Officer Tao had already recruited the first batch of eight awakened warriors. At the moment, they were having a meeting with Commander Du in the hall. When Commander Du saw Chu Yunsheng appeared, he immediately waved his hands to ask Chu Yunsheng to come to talk to him.
Chu Yunsheng had already deactivated the armor and stored the sword inside the storage talisman. At the moment, he was wearing his grey coat and did not carry any weapon with him.
His Yuan Qi energy was cultivated by following the instruction on the ancient book, so it was different to other awakened warriors. His Yuan Qi energy was pure and stable, so there weren’t any signs of unstable energy fluctuations around him.
Chu Yunsheng did not like to brag about himself. In fact, because he was used to the dangerous environment, he was always on high alert. But in everyone’s eyes, Chu Yunsheng was like an ordinary human who was afraid of talking to strangers.
“Commander Du, is he the person you mentioned, who has the ability to distract the flaming monster?” looking at Chu Yunsheng’s unprepossessing appearance, a female awakened warrior questioned, “are you sure that you are not joking?”
Commander Du smiled helplessly. When he was about to talk, another tall skinny old man interrupted him, “Commander Du, in your plan, he needs to distract the flaming monster for a total of one minute, it’s not that we don’t believe you. To us, safety is our first priority. If he does not have that capability, we will not take part in your plan, I hope you understand! ”
“True!” another girl also stood out. When she glanced at Chu Yunsheng, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eye, “we need to know if he is really capable of doing it, This is the basis of our cooperation.” She said loudly.
Commander Du’s lips were twitching, and his face was stiff and filled with helplessness. He was also shocked when Chu Yunsheng told him that he could distract the flaming monster. If he had not seen what Chu Yunsheng did, he probably would’ve doubted his capability just like them.
Those people were really straightforward, they did not even care about how Chu Yunsheng would feel.
However, Chu Yunsheng did not want to talk to them. He just simply ignored them. To him, he would rather use his Yuan Qi to hunt those meat worms outside than to prove to them what he could do. Also, he has not even reached that level yet. So he just left it to Commander Du to deal with this kind of troubles.
