Chapter 640 One Punch
The corpse monster seemed to enjoy the panic and petrified look of the crowd. It was not in a hurry to destroy the camp, but only gently pushed the wall, and then the wall was broken and the rubble rolled down. Some people couldn’t dodge the rubble and were directly submerged by it.
“Run!”
“Run away!”
The screams came out continuously. Many people panicked and fled off in a mess. The corpse monster laughed violently.
Li Qing took two steps towards the corpse monster with red eyes. She stared at it with hatred, “I cover your retreat! You take everyone leaving here!”
Li Dazhuang’s eyes misted over suddenly and he clung to Li Qing’s thigh, “No! Sister, you are my only relative. I…”
“Wu Rong! Take him away!”
Li Qing shouted. Wu Rong was taken aback. She knocked out Li Dazhuang and left him to Dai Hechun. She had never seen such a giant corpse monster before. Then she went to Li Qing with a smile, “You can’t hold on for enough time alone! I will stay here with you! Dai Hechun, you are the Chief of the camp from now on. You must keep them alive. Got it? Run!”
Dai Hechun cried heartbrokenly. He looked back from time to time with Li Dazhuang on his back. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and left here.
The giant corpse was still not in a hurry to destroy the camp, looking at the direction of Dai Hechun. The little corpse monster lying on his mouth showed a weird expression, as if it was laughing.
There were only two people left in the camp, and the ground was scattered with the packages.
At this time, Wu Rong was not nervous. She smiled, “Captain, I know you have unusual experience. You have even seen a giant corpse before. What is its weakness?”
Li Qing took a deep breath, vaguely remembering that an ice-blue figure fell from the sky, suddenly freezing the giant corpse in the catastrophe in those days.
“Little girl, when you encounter this kind of giant corpse next time, you should run away. Don’t think that I can fight back. It’s impossible. But…no one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe you will risk your life to fight a giant corpse monster foolishly one day. Its weakness lies in a black area on its chest. The stronger the giant corpse, the smaller the black area. Got it?”
Li Qing was about to speak when the giant corpse suddenly raised its arm and hammered at them again. Her pupils shrank. She hugged Wu Rong and rolled aside.
Boom!!
There was a loud noise. The ground shook violently, and countless packages burst into powder. Then a very deep crack spread from the feet of the giant corpse.
Wu Rong got up and stared blankly at the crack that was only a few inches away from her right foot. She couldn’t stop s.h.i.+vering. If Captain hadn’t reacted quickly, she would have been dead now.
Puff!
Li Qing propped up her upper body and opened her mouth to spit bleed. She was in despair. She was only scratched by the aftermath, but she was severely injured. How to defeat…such a powerful enemy?
Wu Rong was shocked. Li Qing grabbed her hand and said quickly, “Look for the black area on its chest. You are good at shooting. Our lives depend on you.”
Wu Rong was startled when she heard the words, and she subconsciously squeezed the crossbow and arrow hidden in her sleeve. Her gaze wandered for a moment, and finally she found the black area on the chest of the giant corpse which was only the size of a palm.
Was that the fatal weakness of the giant corpse?
“Captain, the fatal weaknessis so small that it can be covered by the giant corpse’s palm. I…”
Li Qing covered Wu Rong’s mouth. She looked at her anxious look and took a deep breath, “To conquer or to die!”
“To conquer or to die…”
Wu Rong muttered to herself, looking up at the slowly approaching giant corpse. She was so scared.
They had only a slim chance of success…
Li Qing wiped the blood around her mouth and turned around to cover Wu Rong. She recalled the gloom of fear back then and lost in thought. She could see the pictures of her several-hundred-year life, from her childhood to the present.
At this moment, the corpse monster stoppedits footsteps.
“Now!”
Wu Rong suddenly appeared behind Li Qing. She raised her hands and shot a special arrow from her sleeve. But then, the corpse monster took the arrow in his hand. It broke the arrow easily and threw it aside.
“Impossible?!”
Wu Rong was petrified and her mind was blank.
Li Qing watched the corpse monster stop. Even if it was provoked by the arrow, it didn’t take a step forward. She couldn’t help but give it a quizzical look. Suddenly she noticed that the corpse monster was looking at the area behind her. She turned around.
She saw a thin figure standing not far from her.
“Su Li?!”
Li Qing exclaimed. It was difficult for her to believe that she was here. “Why don’t you leave with them?!”
Su Li looked calm and walked to Li Qing’s side. She squinted at the giant corpse and whispered, “If I leave, I will lose my two lifesavers.”
Wu Rong came to her senses. When she saw Su Li, she said excitedly, “Staying here is to court death!”
Su Li didn’t reply her, staring at the giant corpse. She transmitted the sound, “You said that its weakness is the black mark on the chest, right?”
When Li Qing heard the sound transmission, she finally found that Su Li was not an ordinary person. Not onlycould she transmit the sound but…
Li Qing said apprehensively, “But your injury?”
Before Li Qing could finish speaking, she saw the figure in front of her suddenly disappear. She turned her head, only to see Su Li punch the giant corpse.
Boom!
A huge black shadow was knocked away by huge force, and it disappeared in front of the two people who were shocked. Then before they could return to their senses, Su Li returned to the place with no expression on her face. She sent isolation curb into their bodies and disappeared quickly.
Not long after, the giant corpse came back. But it looked different from the one just now. It was taller. There was still a palm-sized corpse monster hanging on its mouth. The camp was now empty. The little corpse monster tried hard to sniff, but it could not sense Li Qing’s pneuma anymore.
“Squeak!!”
After the little corpse monster screamed angrily for a while, they had to give up and left.
After Su Li took the two people rus.h.i.+ng for several miles, she sensed that the threatening pneuma disappeared behind her. She felt relieved. Su Li’s injury…was too serious, and she couldn’t recover in just a few days.
Even with the help of the Divine Thunder left by Su Bai, she only temporarily suppressed her injury. It nearly exhausted her full power to punch. If there had been another giant corpse, she would have been killed on the spot.
So, she made a decisive decision. After striking away the giant corpse with an all-out punch, she placed a curb on them and immediately fled.
After slowing down and putting down the dumbfounded two people, Su Li groaned and couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. She was about to fall.
“Su Li!”
Li Qing hurriedly helped her to her feet. Li Qing was grateful and said worriedly, “You… How do you feel?”
She was really afraid that Su Li’s blow would exhaust her vitality.
Su Li fought down her dizziness and squeezed out a smile, “I’m fine. The team is in front of us. This time… go to a further place, so that I have more time to heal my wounds.”
After saying this, Su Li fainted, and Cang Lei’s Cave opened at the same time. If there was an unexpected danger, Hong Baizhu would appear to help her.
It was just that the rules of the Chimo Circle had changed. According to the First Elder of the Ling Family, if ghosts appeared in an irregular circle, they would be hit heavily immediately, which was the reason why she could attack alone.
“Sister…”
Hong Baizhu stood at the entrance of Cang Lei’s Cave and stared at Su Li’s face with her small fists clenched. She had never seen Sister look so embarra.s.sed. She was burning to help Su Li… even help a little…
Li Qing helped Su Li wipe off the recent blood stains and gently carried Su Li on her back. Then she touched Wu Rong who was still in a daze and smiled, “Let’s go, catch up with Dazhuang and the others. We go to the nearest ‘Ma Camp’ directly!”
Wu Rong was still recollecting the scene that Su Li stroke away the giant corpse. She came to her senses when she heard these words. Then she said in shock, “Captain, don’t you hate the ‘Thousand Cities Camp’ the most?”
Li Qing sighed, “Most of the camp supplies are lost, and we haven’t taken back the rune tactical matrix. We are unable to feed our people! And Su Li also needs a safe environment for healing.”
Then Li Qing was silent for a while, “We cannot protect her alone.”
“Um!”
Wu Rong replied, “It’s great! Su Li said that Dazhuang and the others are right in front. Let’s catch up with them and change our route.”
“OK!”
…
Ten days later, Su Li woke up slowly. Instead of a familiar camp, she saw the roof of a wooden house. She kept lying and did not move. Since the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction had started on its own, it had almost cured her wound caused by the reversed shock of punching the giant corpse that day.
It took her ten days to recover. She had an extremely strong physical recovery ability, so her wound did not deteriorate.
“Su Li, you finally wake up!”
Li Qing came from outside the door with a surprised look. At this moment, she had put on a normal outfit, and her pneuma was also hidden. She just looked like a fourth-warrior or fifth-warrior on the surface.
Su Li had a plan and asked, “Where is this place?”
Li Qing put a bowl of steaming broth on the head of Su Li’s bed and sat down, “Have you ever heard of the ‘Thousand Cities Camp’?”
Su Li shook her head. Apart from hearing information from Li Qing and the others, she knew nothing about Chimo Circle.
Li Qing smiled, “It’s not that mysterious. ‘Thousand Cities’ is the large-scale camp you asked me a few days ago. Death Region is still raging in this circle. In order to survive, our Human Clan naturally produce large settlements. There are countless large-scale camps in the entire Chimo Circle, but there are only a thousand camps that are guarded by powerhouses. These one thousand strong camps are called ‘Thousand Cities’, and this place is called ‘Ma Camp.”
Then she said in a gloomy tone, “We were delayed for six or seven days on the road. More than half of the survivors died. In the end, only the young people got here. The camp guards here saw that we were not weak, so they let us enter. Now we are in the temporary shelters for those of us whose ability have not yet been verified.”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She asked, “Verify ability?”
Li Qing nodded and said in a low voice, “Yes, large-scale camps don’t support idlers. They will arrange us works in line with our ability. Only in this way can they ensure the operation of the camp.”
Speaking of this, Li Qing smiled again, “After you recover, maybe you can run for the Deputy Chief of the camp!”
