Chapter 412 Guests arrive, serve the dishes!
Yang Fan rolled over in the dust, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes shone with a frightening light.
"Again!"
He wiped his mouth, twirled the bone spear in his hand, and charged at the level-two monster once more.
The reptilian monster was clearly also enraged.
Two of its six legs were crippled, making it noticeably slower, but its barbed tail remained as agile as a venomous snake, tracing sharp arcs through the air.
This forced Yang Fan to stay out of reach.
From a distance, it looks like two gunmen fighting.
This time, Yang Fan learned his lesson and became smarter.
Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, he suddenly changed direction at the moment of his charge, sliding along the ground as his bone spear swept across, aiming directly at the remaining legs of the strange creature.
The moment the bone spear forced back the tail hook, he almost slipped under that strange creature.
"Into the Enemy"
Yang Fan shouted, and his aura suddenly increased.
The bone spear trembled and hummed in his hand, and a thin, visible vortex of air condensed at the tip of the spear.
That's not a sequence characteristic, but rather the disturbance to the surrounding energy caused by the pure fighting spirit and killing intent condensed to the extreme.
Like a red-hot iron thrown into cold water, it doesn't need any magic to create ripples.
The level-two anomaly also seemed to sense the threat.
With its remaining legs exerting force simultaneously, its massive body performed an incredible side somersault, barely avoiding Yang Fan's sweeping bone spear.
But Yang Fan's change of tactics was even faster.
"A Thousand Pounds: The Sickle!"
He suddenly rotated his legs and exerted force, swinging his spear in a perfect arc.
The moves are simple, but the effects are superb.
The bizarre, level-two body was still caught in the momentum of its sideways roll, with nowhere to gain leverage or escape.
Wow——
The bone spear instantly shattered all of the strange creature's forelegs, as the creature lacked sufficient limbs to support its heavy body.
It slammed onto the ground with a loud thud.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Fan leaped out of the attack range of this level-two strange beast.
"I knew it! Level Two Anomalies are nothing special!"
However, his show of bravado lasted less than three seconds before he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The initial excitement and passion from activating "Trapped" gradually began to cool down.
Taking advantage of the remaining momentum, he launched another attack with his gun.
The spear thrusts, like pear blossoms falling in a rain, rained down on the strange vital points.
The strange creature actually gave up fighting Yang Fan, as if it had accepted death.
"careful--"
Fu Xiaojian's voice boomed from the walkie-talkie, but it was too late.
During a lull in Yang Fan's attack, the strange creature lying prone on the ground suddenly sprang up its seemingly useless tail hook, its speed more than twice as fast as before.
The venomous stinger at the end of the tail hook gleamed with a cold, eerie green light under the blood-red sun, heading straight for Yang Fan's back.
A desperate, all-or-nothing strike?
Yang Fan didn't even have time to turn around; he only felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him, making the hairs on his back stand up.
At the critical moment, a golden light shot out from the direction of the camp.
It was a sword.
Xu Si's sword.
The moment the sword pierced the eerie tail hook, a burst of dark golden light erupted from the blade, pinning the barbed tail to the ground.
"...Holy shit."
Yang Fan felt a chill run down his spine. He had never let his guard down, but the strange creature still managed to find a weakness in him.
However, Xu Si did not go any further and try to steal Yang Fan's prey.
After its desperate attack, the strange creature was truly at its last gasp. Yang Fan dealt with it without much effort and was fortunate enough to obtain a strange creature as a loot.
Including the previous level 3 strange item drop, the caravan has now obtained two strange items.
"Brother Dao, thank you!"
Yang Fan only thanked Xu Si formally when he returned to the convoy, panting heavily.
Sequence 1 is still a bit of a stretch against level 2 weirdness.
He really used every trick in the book, but he still ended up being caught off guard.
This is both an experience and a lesson.
"There's more to it?" Fu Xiao was still a little shocked as he took the strangely dropped sword from Yang Fan.
The drop rate from low-level strange events is still very low.
"Damn, I almost peed my pants! If it weren't for Brother Dao, that would have been a real close call!" Yang Fan was still shaken.
"Good that you remember, but don't forget the lesson next time! By the way, how's the sequence advancement?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
Speaking of this, Yang Fan scratched his head and grinned.
"If I can play two more matches, I might be able to reach the threshold of Sequence 2 tomorrow."
"Let's call it a day! Do you need Jiao Jiao to treat you?" Fu Xiaojian naturally noticed the bloodstains on his chest, but judging from his condition, he didn't seem to have suffered too much damage.
"Fine, this is a good opportunity to get used to the pain!" He actually wanted to relive the lesson he had just learned.
If he were truly cured in a few strokes, he would probably immediately forget about the attack he just suffered.
Fu Xiaojian nodded and carefully put away the strange item.
Two pieces are ready, but they're still a long way from being used to "open the furnace" for Fu Ruoxue.
Two items are not enough to improve the team's overall strength!
The convoy continued on, still moving at a very slow pace, almost like a post-apocalyptic sightseeing tour.
This deliberate provocation quickly attracted new visitors.
The announcement of Nirvana came through the intercom system:
"Energy fluctuation detected to the right rear, intensity: 3, group: 2, approaching."
To the rest of the convoy, something about these words seemed off.
It's like a waiter loudly announcing, "Guests have arrived! Serve your food!"
Within Xu Si's star veins, two grayish-white energy trajectories were rapidly approaching along the ground, like two snakes slithering underground.
"Two Level 3 anomalies, who's coming?" Fu Xiaojian's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"I'll give it a try!" Ivan's voice carried a hint of fierceness.
The team doesn't have many Sequence 3s, and Ivan is only a Sequence 2.
"Count me in!" Lin Zhennan was just doing his part as usual, after all, the level three weirdo had been dealt with by Hyuga Aoi last time.
He can't be too lazy either.
Looking at the incredible maneuvering of the convoy in front of him, Yang Shu felt that this world was truly too magical.
When did the eerie and unsettling become so cheap?
If we go back a few months, these two Level 3 anomalies would have been enough to wipe out an entire small convoy.
But now, the salary train fleet has become a "resource" that everyone is vying for.
"Okay, be careful and don't let your guard down." Fu Xiaojian's voice rang out in the channel, his tone slightly serious.
However, it's much easier for Yang Fan to compete.
After all, Lin Zhennan and Ivan are a good combination, one offensive and one defensive.
Moreover, both of them have rich combat experience and their teamwork is better.
As long as it's not something too bizarre or difficult, these two should be fine.
Xu Si sat on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle and nodded slightly.
The star veins had already locked onto the two approaching gray-white energy trajectories.
Since advancing to Sequence 6, the Star Pulse has become much more intelligent, automatically capturing, analyzing, and distinguishing data.
Xu Si felt that if he continued to advance, this trait might become an instinct.
