"I was so scared. I was afraid they would open fire," Huang Jiahui said.
"They wouldn't be so stupid. They didn't have a grudge against us, so they wouldn't take the risk." Although Luo Yuan said it calmly, he was actually scared. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he was angry. He didn't want to back down in the face of injustice.
Fortunately, they didn't dare open fire. Although the car was still gone, they got a rifle.
In fact, Luo Yuan had made a profit. The car was not worth much now. The only thing that was valuable was the gas. If he had traded the gun, he could have bought a few hundred liters of gas or a dozen cars.
"Do you know how to use a rifle?"
"I've never used a Type 95 rifle before, so I might not be accurate," Huang Jiahui said.
"At least you're more accurate than me!" Luo Yuan smiled and passed the rifle to Huang Jiahui.
She took the rifle and shook her head. "No, it's too heavy. I'll have to lie down. I'm more used to using a pistol. Unfortunately, I can't use bullets."
Luo Yuan didn't know anything about military affairs, so he regretted it. "I thought all bullets were the same. I should have asked for pistol bullets."
"They probably don't have pistol bullets either. Only officers at the battalion level have them," Huang Jiahui said.
"Forget it," Luo Yuan said helplessly.
"How far are we from your place?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Looks like it'll take a few more stops," Huang Jiahui said uncertainly.
At that moment, a group of people ran out of a building in a panic. Behind them were seven or eight green beetles. The one in the front caught up with the last woman in a few steps. It bit her head in one bite. Brain juice splattered everywhere. Her body was still twitching.
People were being bitten to death by the green beetles from time to time. It was a bloody scene.
The smell of blood and the screams attracted more green beetles. One of them was as big as a truck, and its color was darker than the normal green beetles. It was moving so fast that ordinary people couldn't even keep up with it.
In the world of green beetles, there was a clear hierarchy. As soon as the giant creature approached, the surrounding green beetles all avoided it.
To make matters worse, some of the people in the crowd turned around and ran towards them when they saw them.
Seeing this, Luo Yuan's face changed and his scalp went numb. "Damn it."
He didn't expect that there were more powerful creatures among the green beetles. Even though the fight had not started, Luo Yuan could already feel the pressure from its size.
Even Cao Qianqian could feel Luo Yuan's nervousness. When she saw the usually calm man showing such emotions, she shivered and her knees gave way. She almost fell.
"E-level mission triggered, kill the guard rank green beetle, accepted, cancelled."
Suddenly, a message popped up in his head. Luo Yuan's expression changed.
"Guard Class Green Beetles?"
"F * ck!" Unable to suppress the fear, he couldn't help but curse.
Ever since he leveled up, he didn't take these green beetles seriously. He didn't expect them to hit him in the head in less than an hour. The arrogance he had just felt disappeared without a trace.
Originally, he wanted to cancel the mission and run away. He was not confident that he could kill a guard-class green beetle and a dozen normal green beetles, not to mention that there were two burdens beside him.
But when he saw the rifle in Huang Jiahui's hand, he gritted his teeth and changed his mind.
"Mission accepted."
"Give me the rifle," Luo Yuan said to Huang Jiahui.
Huang Jiahui was stunned. She quickly passed the rifle to Luo Yuan. He pulled out the magazine and checked the bullets. The next moment, he raised the rifle and aimed at the guard rank green beetle.
When the crowd saw someone raise the rifle, they panicked and scattered. Luo Yuan watched as the green beetle got closer and closer.
He pulled the trigger calmly.
"Da da da!" The bullet flew into the sky.
"Da da da!" It continued to fly past the green beetle.
Luo Yuan adjusted his movements as he fired. His aim was getting better and better. On the fourth shot, the bullet finally hit the green beetle's body.
However, what the green beetle did next shocked Luo Yuan. The exoskeleton of the green beetle was amazing. Only a small dent was left on the spot where the bullet had hit. Luo Yuan then noticed that there were at least a dozen of such dents on the giant green beetle's body. Obviously, it had been hit by the bullets before.
It was furious when it was hit by the bullet. It hissed and knocked away a few normal green beetles in front of it. It dug its limbs into the ground like a mad bull and ran straight towards Luo Yuan.
It was so fast that it covered a distance of more than a hundred meters in a breath.
Luo Yuan threw the rifle away and held his Zhanmadao with both hands.
He almost couldn't help but turn around and run. Fortunately, he was still rational. He knew that even if he ran with all his might, he wouldn't be able to outrun the fast moving green beetle.
Luo Yuan had never been in such a desperate situation before. He had a strong desire to live.
Since he couldn't retreat or escape, he might as well fight. Fight to the death!
His will was as strong as steel, and he was highly focused. At that moment, all sound seemed to disappear and the scenery around him faded. It was as if there was only him and the guard rank green beetle left in the world.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew towards him.
As soon as he felt the wind, Luo Yuan stomped his feet and sprinted forward like a cheetah on a grassland.
The two of them approached each other quickly and were about to collide.
Luo Yuan squatted down, turned around and jumped. His body was more than three meters high like a spring. Before he landed on the beetle's back, he had already stabbed his Zhanmadao into the beetle's back.
"Creak!" A sharp sound that made one's teeth ache rang out.
Luo Yuan's Zhanmadao couldn't go any further before it stopped.
Even so, Luo Yuan had achieved his goal. Using this point of contact, Luo Yuan landed on the beetle's back with difficulty.
People who practiced martial arts had a stable lower body. Although the system's upgraded knife skills were mostly based on the understanding of knife skills, it also had a way to deal with extreme situations. He steadied himself and pulled out his Zhanmadao.
Then he lowered his center of gravity until his upper body was almost parallel to the ground. He bent his knees, and with every step he took, his feet were firmly attached to the beetle's smooth back like a suction cup. After a few steps, he had climbed to the top of the beetle's head. He raised his Zhanmadao and was about to chop it down.
The green beetle's senses were sharp. It suddenly realized that something was wrong. It immediately stopped moving and stood up on its hind legs.
Luo Yuan couldn't stand properly and was about to fall to the ground. He quickly grabbed the two meter long antennae that were hanging in the air.
His body was swaying, and his heart was beating fast.
The green beetle's compound eyes were expressionless, staring at him. Its intricately designed mouth was opening and closing, emitting an unpleasant stench.
Before Luo Yuan could breathe a sigh of relief.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the beetle's front legs had shrunk slightly. His hair stood on end, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He pulled the antennae hard, and the next moment, he used the pulling force to jump to the top of the beetle's head.
As soon as his body was in the air, there was a loud bang in the air.
It sounded like a muffled thunder.
Its two front legs shot out like lightning, and then quickly retracted.
Even with Luo Yuan's 12 points of reflex, he couldn't see the beetle's movement. He only saw a blur in front of him, and then the front legs had returned to their original position.
As the forelegs retracted, the two blurry balls of air that looked like air cannons continued to advance at high speed. In the end, they hit the cement road heavily. A hole that was more than a meter wide and more than half a meter deep was blasted out of the hard cement ground.
Luo Yuan only felt a burning pain in his feet when he jumped to the top of the beetle's head.
However, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to that. He raised his long saber and stabbed it hard into the beetle's head.
The head was the most important part of a creature's body, so its defense was especially strong. Its exoskeleton was thicker and harder than its back, and it was relatively smooth. The tip of the saber slipped when it touched the head, and he couldn't even stab it.
The giant beetle shook again, and Luo Yuan quickly lay on its back. He used his left hand to grab the slightly protruding bone on the beetle's shoulder to stabilize himself.
When it stabilized, Luo Yuan used his Zhanmadao to hack at its head again, but it only left a white mark.
The saber was only light blue level, so it was useless against a creature that was at least light blue level and had a strong defense.
Although Luo Yuan couldn't do anything to the beetle, the beetle couldn't do anything to him either.
As time passed, the green beetle became more and more anxious. Suddenly, the two compound wings on its back opened slightly, as if it wanted to fly.
Luo Yuan's face was filled with despair, and cold sweat kept rolling down his forehead. He knew that once he flew, he would have no other choice but to jump down and run for his life.
However, when he saw the soft armor under the wings, his eyes lit up.
"This is it!"
He lowered his body and jumped onto the beetle's back. The beetle's wings were fully open, and with a loud "Buzz!", the beetle was already flying.
Luo Yuan felt a strong gust of wind, and his feet slipped. He was almost blown away by the wind.
Luo Yuan lowered his center of gravity and struggled to walk to the wings. He used his Zhanmadao to hack at the root of the right wing, where it was connected to the flesh, and without hesitation, he cut off the entire right wing.
The beetle, which had lost half of its wing, tilted its body, and fell from the sky.
"Boom!"
The giant beetle landed heavily on the ground from a height of five to six meters. Luo Yuan's body was also thrown out, and he kept rolling on the street until he hit the wall. His vision turned black, and his body felt like it was falling apart. There was no part of his body that didn't hurt.
He watched as the green beetle wobbled its way back to its feet.
He gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up. He felt something sweet in his throat, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He slowly walked towards the green beetle, faster and faster. Finally, he jumped up and stabbed the Zhanmadao into the back of the beetle's broken wing. He stood still, grabbed the hilt of the Zhanmadao, and pulled it up. The soft skin made a sound of tearing cloth.
The wound became longer, and all kinds of strange internal organs flowed out of the wound like water.
The beetle let out a mournful roar, and its body shook violently. Its remaining wings flapped violently, creating a strong gust of wind.
Luo Yuan held the handle of the knife tightly, as if his feet were nailed to the beetle's back. He walked forward step by step, and only stopped when the knife was close to the beetle's head.
He did not know why, but at that moment, he suddenly thought of the synthesis technique.
As soon as he thought of it, the knife suddenly became hot.
He did not know if it was because the carapace had been synthesized, or if the knife had become sharper, but he did not have to use much strength to pull the knife again.
Luo Yuan was excited when he saw that it was working, and he continued to use the synthesis technique. As he continued to use the synthesis technique, the knife seemed to become sharper and sharper. In the end, even without the synthesis technique, the knife's own sharpness was enough to cut through the beetle's carapace.
As its internal organs were destroyed and its body fluids were lost, the beetle's struggle became weaker and weaker. Soon, it fell to the ground.
Luo Yuan pulled out his Zhanmadao, ready to kill the beetle. Suddenly, he saw the knife from the corner of his eyes, and he paused.
The silver-white Zhanmadao had turned emerald green, as if there was a halo flowing around it. Luo Yuan thought that the knife was stained with the beetle's body fluids, so he shook the knife, but there was no liquid left. The knife was very clean, without a trace of water.
It was the color of the knife itself.
"Could it be because of the synthesis technique?"
There didn't seem to be any other reason besides this.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He raised the knife and stabbed the beetle's head.
The green beetle's body shook violently. It stood up shakily, but after a few seconds, it fell heavily to the ground.
A series of system notifications appeared in his mind.
"Level E Mission: Kill Guard Rank Green Beetle. Completed. "Time for Completion: 8 minutes." Mission Rating: Excellent. "
"Basic Experience Reward: 1,600."
"Excellent rating. Experience Value + 1,600."
He did not expect the rating to be excellent. He had only been able to complete this mission because of luck. It had been the most difficult mission he had ever completed, and it had been a close shave. If he had not misjudged, he would not have accepted an Level E mission. It was beyond his capabilities.
Fortunately, the mission was completed in the end.
Including his remaining EXP, he now had a total of 41004800 EXP. He only needed 700 EXP to level up. He only needed to complete a Perfect Evaluation F + Quest or an E − Quest before he could level up.
It seemed that the more dangerous the environment, the higher the probability of triggering a mission. In the past, getting a mission every two or three months was already good enough. Sometimes, he did not even get one in half a year. Since the change in the environment, the frequency of missions had increased. Today, he had received two missions consecutively. It was unbelievable.
Luo Yuan stopped thinking and jumped off the beetle. His body shook and he almost fell to the ground.
He spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood. As soon as he was distracted, Luo Yuan felt a sharp pain all over his body, especially his feet. He looked down and saw that the pants below his thighs had been shredded, and the skin on his calves had completely disappeared. His muscles were red and bloody.
"No wonder it hurts so much."
Luo Yuan remembered that when the beetle had launched its front leg, its calf had been grazed by the high-speed air.
Soon, Huang Jiahui and Cao Qianqian arrived, followed by two women and three men.
