Do Not Enter Military Base
In the blink of an eye, a green insectoid the size of a bamboo suddenly charged out from the body of the dark red insectoid, its two knife-like arms thrusting toward Xia Fei!
No one could have imagined that there was another insectoid hidden within its body!
That ruthless and cruel aura was coming from this green insectoid, while that dark red insectoid was merely a puppet!
Xia Fei's body suddenly made a sharp turn as he fell backward. The two green knives whizzed past the tip of Xia Fei's nose, slicing the cigarette that Xia Fei had just lit into two!
Bending his right knee, Xia Fei used it to strike the abdomen of the green insectoid. This strike landed squarely on its chest, and it was as if his knee had struck a steel plate as it let out a loud thump.
Xia Fei knitted his eyebrows, and his body began to spin diagonally like a propeller. Chasing Light drew a beautiful semicircle from top to bottom, aiming straight for the insectoid's head!
The sharp sound of air being torn could be heard!
This was truly an incredible move. Under such an extremely difficult situation, Xia Fei had not only dodged the opponent's attack, but he had also relied on his powerful Crafty Approach to counterattack after a mere 0.01 second!
Practitioners of Crafty Approach had to surpass the limits of the human body! By relying on their powerful explosive strength and tenacity, they could make unconventional moves that defied common sense, turning the impossible into the possible!
The green insectoid's chest took a heavy blow from Xia Fei, and its body bent like a shrimp. It crossed its knife-like arms in an attempt to block Chasing Light's attack.
* Clang! *
Chasing Light and the arms of the green insectoid clashed, and the insectoid used the force of Xia Fei's attack to quickly retreat, taking up a corner of the cave and staring at Xia Fei with a dark gaze.
“***！” Xia Fei regained his balance, stood up, and spat out the remaining half of his cigarette as he cursed, "What bad luck. I nearly got ambushed by an insectoid."
Judging from the speed that the green insect had displayed when it ambushed Xia Fei, it was at least 500m/s. Though it was not as fast as Xia Fei's, it could still be described as incredible. It must be mentioned that this was an insect, not some speed ability user, so it was absolutely astonishing for it to be able to move at such a speed.
If not for the fact that Xia Fei had the Assassin's ultimate technique, Crafty Approach, to protect himself, that strike just now might have completely changed the situation on the battlefield.
Crafty Approach was indeed very powerful, able to help Xia Fei avert danger at the most critical juncture and turn passivity into initiative, but one could not ignore how much tireless practice and tons of sweat were hidden behind these unpredictable movements.
His years of practice were all for this moment. Be it the martial arts techniques or the knowledge in the books, these were things that Xia Fei had spent a great deal of time learning, and there was no telling when they would come into play.
Both sides guarded a corner of the cave and stared at each other like tigers watching their prey.
Xia Fei activated Chasing Light, moving at a slow and stealthy pace, his eyes observing the insectoid's every move.
The green insectoid looked like a saber mantis. Its body was as thin as a bamboo pole, and its triangular head had a pair of pitch-black eyes that gleamed with cruelty and cunning. Its two arms were like two scalpels, sharp and hard.
When Chasing Light clashed with the saber mantis's arms, it actually failed to chop it off. Instead, it left two very obvious dents, which showed just how outstanding the defense of this saber mantis was.
"Again!" Xia Fei yelled excitedly, pouncing toward the saber mantis once more.
They were currently in the insectoid nest, and there could be a large number of insectoids coming to their aid at any time, so Xia Fei planned to end this battle as soon as possible.
* Bang! Bang! Bang! *
Using Chasing Light to its fullest, Xia Fei unleashed everything he had learned, unleashing round after round of fierce attacks on the saber mantis.
* Stab! * Sweep! * Chop! * Sweep! * Break! * Sly Thrust's technique was being displayed to the fullest by Xia Fei. He was like a machine gun firing at an incredible speed, unleashing a barrage of attacks like a torrential downpour.
The saber mantis was no match for Xia Fei in terms of speed, but its reflexes were still fast. Relying on its defensive instincts, the saber mantis managed to parry Xia Fei's attacks time and time again, yet it was unable to retaliate.
More and more knife wounds gradually appeared on its body. Though Chasing Light was unable to kill it in one go, it could continuously inflict damage like reeling silk from a cocoon. At this rate, its death was only a matter of time.
The saber mantis suddenly swung its arms in a circle and spun like a madman. It had already gone berserk on the brink of death.
"Die!" Xia Fei did not retreat but instead used his advantage in speed to take on his opponent.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall, and the same went for techniques.
Xia Fei used his fastest speed to circle around the mantis, pouncing on it the moment he found an opening and ruthlessly biting it.
This was the strategy of a wolf. Never wavering, never giving up, patiently searching for every opportunity.
A few seconds later, the saber mantis had over a dozen new wounds on its body, and green blood began to gush out in large amounts.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, the saber mantis quickly retreated backward.
"You wont be able to escape!"
Xia Fei roared as he pounced forward like a fiend. An insectoid with incredible speed had greatly stimulated Xia Feis fighting spirit.
He had long forgotten that his opponent was an insectoid and was instead treating it as a speed ability user like himself.
* Bang! *
Chasing Light heavily slashed at the back of the saber mantis, causing it to stagger and fall to the ground.
Its two knife-like arms stabbed into the ground. Had this saber mantis gone mad? Why was it actually attacking the rocks on the ground?
Xia Fei did not have the time to ponder over its strangeness. He forcefully stomped the ground with one foot, and the huge impact left a deep footprint on the rocks. His body used this momentum to turn back, his blade pointed straight at the saber mantis neck.
* Bang! * * Bang! *
Two sounds rang out almost at the same time. The sound of the saber mantis hitting the ground was dull and messy, while the sound of Xia Fei striking the mantis neck was as clear as a gong.
The boulder on the ground was instantly shattered, revealing a hole that led downward. At the same time, the saber mantis neck had been cut in half by Chasing Light, and its head drooped to its chest.
* Plop! *
The carcass of the saber mantis fell into the hole, and it was only after a long time that the sound of the carcass hitting the ground could be heard.
Xia Fei put away Chasing Light and looked down from the hole.
The vertical hole was about two meters wide. Due to the distance and the lack of sunlight, the night vision system was still unable to see what was going on in the hole despite its excellent performance.
There was a layer of rock on top of the hole, and when the saber mantis broke through the rock, the hole was revealed. It was as if the saber mantis already knew that there was a hole here, which was why it anxiously broke through the hole in hopes of escaping.
Xia Fei lit a new cigarette and took a deep drag, letting the smoke circulate in his lungs before he slowly exhaled.
"Have you seen this insectoid before?" Xia Fei asked Phantom after he had satisfied his craving.
Phantom, who had been watching the fight from the sidelines, shook his head when he heard Xia Fei's question. "Nope. This saber mantis is actually living in the stomach of another insectoid. It's truly inconceivable. You should keep its carcass. This insectoid has a lot of research value."
Xia Fei agreed. From his point of view, having research value meant that he could exchange it for money. Xia Fei was not willing to let go of any opportunity to make money while he was short of money.
He took out an air detector from his spatial ring and used it to scan the air in the hole. The results showed that although the air was a little turbid, the radiation level was still within a safe range.
Putting away the detector, Xia Fei threw the cigarette butt into the vertical hole and jumped down.
His body followed the light of the cigarette butt as he rapidly descended. His eyes were observing whether the cigarette butt had landed on the ground. The burning end of the cigarette butt was exceptionally bright under the night vision system, so it was indeed a good choice to use it as a reference.
About ten seconds later, the bright light suddenly bounced off the ground. Xia Fei quickly extended both his arms to the side, using the spikes on his gloves and combat boots to slow himself down.
The spikes were abnormally hard, and they left countless deep marks on the stone walls of the cave, sending many small pebbles flying in all directions.
Since the Windshade Mark IV combat suit had a Legendary rank defense, it was very safe to use this method to slow himself down. Without much effort, Xia Fei reached the bottom of the vertical hole.
This was a long, slanted passageway that extended even deeper underground. The carcass of the saber mantis was lying at Xia Fei's feet, long dead.
The passageway was semi-circular, and it was welded together with some kind of black alloy. It was obvious that this passageway was not excavated by the insectoids but man-made.
There was a bright spotlight every twenty meters or so, and the sensors would quickly turn on these spotlights when they detected a human entering, illuminating the passageway in a snowy white.
Xia Fei pressed a button to deactivate the night vision system. This system was very useful in the dark, but once it was exposed to strong light, its effectiveness would be greatly reduced. Wearing it for too long might even damage one's eyes.
What is this place? Xia Fei stared at the passageway for a while and muttered to himself.
A line of large words was written on the wall in the distance: Military restricted zone. Strictly carry any weapons.
Xia Fei was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect to accidentally stumble into an ancient civilization's military base. From the fact that the spotlights had suddenly turned on when they sensed his presence, it was very likely that this base was in good condition.
There was no need to explain why an ancient military base was in good condition. The military of the ancient civilization was highly developed, and there were many advanced military products that were priceless. It was not impossible for him to find a few valuable items here.
Many people who excavate ruins for a living are unable to find such a place in good condition their entire lives. Looks like your luck is quite good. Phantom was pleasantly surprised as he said this.
Xia Fei pursed his lips. Dont be too happy just yet. If there really is such a place, why didn't the Adjudicators who explored this place in the past discover it?
Perhaps theyve overlooked it. Hurry up and clean up this insectoid and go inside to take a look, Phantom hurriedly said.
