[Book 3: The South]
With a large flash, Yue Zhong and Cheng Yao landed in a forest.
The array that the Nether Beast had spat out was called Spatial Transportation Array, its innate ability was the free control over space and its laws. Yue Zhong and Chen Yao had been absorbed into the array, and transferred to this random foreign place without the slightest ability to resist.
When Chen Yao landed, she fell into Yue Zhong’s embrace; fortunately Yue Zhong was sturdy, and did not suffer any injuries.
As Yue Zhong hugged Chen Yao, his heart could not help but skip a beat as he felt that warm and fragrant body. Chen Yao was after all one of the school flowers. She and Ji Qingwu were the pair of scholar and athlete, that held the pride of Yue Zhong’s school.
There were countless guys who had been wooing her, and Yue Zhong was just an ordinary university student who was struggling to study while working part-time, and both of them never had the chance to interact.
Chen Yao had slammed into Yue Zhong’s embrace. Feeling the warmth of his protection, she was reluctant to get up. However, her prideful nature pushed her to get up from his arms, as her face reddened before saying: “Sorry, it must have hurt!”
Yue Zhong felt a little regret as he lightly smiled: “It’s ok!”
Chen Yao observed her surroundings, only to see a seemingly infinite amount of trees, as she asked a little fearfully: “Where do you think we are?”
Yue Zhong laughed bitterly: “No idea.”
“However, we’re unlikely to be in Long Hai City.” Yue Zhong observed the surroundings, looking at the dense foliage and large patches of Mutant Plants, as he frowned and continued.
Chen Yao looked at Yue Zhong helplessly: “What do we do?”
Although Chen Yao had also become a Level 13 Enhancer with the help of Ji Qingwu, her natural combat abilities were not exceptional, and she was never interested in going down the route of a combatant. Now that they had met with danger, she automatically looked to Yue Zhong for guidance.
Yue Zhong pulled out a compass from his storage ring, studying it for a while: “Let’s walk to the south!”
Chen Yao followed behind him as he started walking towards the south. White Bones had already separated from Yue Zhong’s body wielding its iconic large axe, walking beside Chen Yao quietly. After gaining basic intelligence, it could already make the judgement of who to protect.
[Dedition: Being able to deduct the strength of those around you and knowing whom to protect even though you’ve sworn fealty to a master. I dare not call that ‘basic intelligence’.]
Inside that vast forest, the ground was muddy. Not long after, both of their military boots were covered in mud. Chen Yao’s path of enhancement had largely been on Spirit, after walking in that forest for just 2 hours, her face was flushed and her breath ragged.
“Wear this.” Yue Zhong observed Chen Yao, before pulling out a Level 3 Defence Vest out, throwing it at her.
“Thank you!” Chen Yao received it and immediately knew the effects of this Level 3 Defence Vest. A sweet feeling arose in her heart, as she thanked Yue Zhong.
The drop rate of Defence Vests were always low, and Yue Zhong only had this Level 3 Defence Vest in his entire stronghold. As for his Level 4 Defense Vest, he only had 1 as well.
After Chen Yao put on the Level 3 Defence Vest, her body felt lighter instantly, and she could match Yue Zhong’s pace.
Both of them continued for another half an hour, when they suddenly heard some rustling sounds. Huge spiders the size of human faces started swarming and crawling towards Yue Zhong, Chen Yao and White Bones in a frenzy.
“Level 16 Mutant Beast: Mutant Venomous Spiders! They possess sharp fangs with paralyzing properties, and as long as they are gathered in a group, they are the most feared killers within the forest!!”
The Mutant Venomous Spiders crawled out from various corners of the forest, packed together densely. It was likely they numbered above 500.
Most girls were usually scared of creepy crawlies such as these, Chen Yao was no different. The moment she caught sight of those spiders the size of a dinner plate with their vicious expressions, her face turned pale, and her hands so clammy, that she even forgot to activate her Flora Manipulation ability.
Yue Zhong on the other hand, had already taken out a .05 submachine gun and started firing wildly at those spiders.
White Bones also started waving its huge axe about, as each flash of the axe meant the death of a disgusting spider.
With Yue Zhong’s firing and White Bones limitless hacking, the Mutant Venomous Spiders were decimated, as their disgusting slime were splattered all over the forest ground, which made Chen Yao even paler, to the point of nausea.
