Chapter 119 Testing the Waters
Chapter 119 Testing the Waters
For all the die-hard fans who got completely absorbed in the story, the latest chapter of "Survival in a School Time Travel: I Can Synthesize Everything!" has been released!
Jiang Ming did not stop.
He gripped the sword hilt with both hands, used his waist and abdomen to thrust upwards!
"Sizzle!"
A sickening sound of bones cracking rang out.
The Thunderhorn Flame Bull's enormous head was almost halved off by this sword strike.
Hot blood erupted like a fountain, splattering all over Jiang Ming and turning him into a demon who had crawled out of hell.
The massive body of the Thunderhorn Flame Ox stiffened for a moment.
The red light in its eyes quickly dimmed, and a final, unwilling gurgling sound escaped its throat, then—
"Boom!"
Push the golden mountain and knock down the jade pillar.
The Lv.10 elite monster that had rendered the entire special operations team helpless and treated modern firearms as nothing crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
From Wang Yang's appearance that stirred up hatred, to Zhao Yanzhi's shooting that blinded him, to Jiang Ming's fatal blow with a single sword strike.
The whole process took less than ten seconds.
Even the SWAT officer carrying a rocket launcher in the distance didn't have time to pull the trigger.
Dead silence.
The entire intersection fell into an even more terrifying silence than before.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the man standing next to the cow carcass.
Jiang Ming slowly drew his greatsword and casually wiped the blood off the cowhide.
He turned around, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over the stunned sheriffs around him before finally settling on the special operations captain.
That look wasn't directed at fellow human beings, but at a group of weak and obstructive people.
"Gulp."
The special operations captain swallowed hard.
He had seen countless ruthless bandits and even dealt with several extreme violent incidents, but he had never seen such pure killing intent.
That wasn't the madness of a murderer, but a cold-blooded disregard for life.
"You...you are..." The captain's voice trembled slightly, but he still instinctively raised his gun. "Stand still! Drop your weapons!"
As he moved, dozens of special operations team members around him reacted and raised their guns to aim at Jiang Ming and his group.
Although they saved the day, this group of people with supernatural powers who were killing people in the streets with cold weapons were still seen as a huge destabilizing factor by the authorities.
"Put down your weapons!"
"Hands behind your head!"
Warnings were issued one after another.
Wang Yang curled his lip, slammed his shield on the ground, and stood beside Jiang Ming: "Hey, is this how you treat your savior? If Brother Jiang hadn't intervened, how many people would have died if your rocket launcher had exploded?"
Li Bin and Zhao Yanzhi also emerged from the shadows. Although they were a little nervous facing dozens of guns, they still stood firmly behind Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming acted as if he hadn't heard the warnings.
He ignored the dark gun muzzles, turned around, stepped on the head of the Thunderhorn Flame Ox, and pulled out the [Rat Tooth Dagger] from his waist.
"Sizzle—"
The dagger precisely cut into the base of the cow's horn.
He actually started dissecting the trophies in front of all the police officers!
"I'll say it again! Put down your weapons!" The special operations captain felt his authority had been greatly challenged, and his finger was on the trigger.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have fired."
Jiang Ming didn't even turn his head. While skillfully prying off the priceless thunder horn, he blurted out, "This monster's hide is bulletproof, and so is mine. But can your bulletproof vests stop my sword?"
The voice just fell.
Jiang Ming suddenly exerted force.
"Sizzle—"
Amidst a teeth-grinding scraping sound, the half-meter-long lightning horn was uprooted.
Dark red cow blood splattered on Jiang Ming's sneakers, but he didn't even frown. He tossed the still-sizzling trophy to Su Xiaoxiao behind him.
"Take it, but don't touch the base. There are still nerve remnants there; be careful not to get an electric shock."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly took it, wrapped it in a piece of cloth she had torn from the road, and held it like a hot potato.
The special operations team members around them couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.
That's a terrifying organ that can release high-intensity electric currents and just overturned two armored vehicles!
Are these people just tossing things around like cabbages?
"This is my final warning!"
The special operations captain's forehead veins bulged, and the grip of his Type 95 rifle was soaked with sweat. "Whoever you are, stop desecrating the body immediately! Hands behind your head and squat down! Otherwise, we will take coercive measures!"
"Coercive measures?"
Wang Yang slammed the scratch-covered Ghost Face Shield into the ground with a dull thud.
He picked his nose, giving him a look that said, "Sir, when that cow charged just now, your forceful measures didn't seem to work very well, did they? If it weren't for Brother Jiang, you'd all be grilled alive by now."
"You—!" The special operations captain was speechless with anger, but he couldn't refute it.
The facts are clear: this group of suddenly appearing "strange people" possesses combat capabilities far exceeding modern firepower.
Jiang Ming completely ignored the shouting from the other side.
He was kneeling beside the cow carcass, the [Rat Tooth Dagger] in his hand moving swiftly along the texture of the cowhide as if it were alive.
"Sizzle—"
A large, intact piece of cowhide was peeled off.
"Stop!" The special operations captain finally lost his temper. "Snipers, prepare—"
"BOOM!!"
Just as tensions were rising, the glass curtain wall of the office building on the side suddenly shattered.
Countless shards of tempered glass rained down like a storm, clattering and clanging against the special operations vehicles below.
With a chilling roar, a massive black shadow crashed through the Starbucks facade and charged into the intersection, covered in dust.
It's that armored giant lizard that was rampaging around somewhere before!
It seems this beast wasn't full earlier and came over because of the smell of blood.
Its iron-gray scales were covered with pebbles and bits of unknown flesh, and its thick tail swept across, snapping a roadside fire hydrant in half at the base.
"puff--"
A high-pressure water column shot into the sky.
The monitor lizard became even more ferocious as it was splashed by the water. It opened its large mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and bit down on the nearest special operations vehicle.
"Snap!"
Like chewing a cookie.
The hood of the special operations vehicle deformed instantly, and black smoke billowed from the engine inside.
The two team members behind the car were terrified and scrambled backward.
"Shift fire! Quickly! Target the monitor lizard on the left!"
The special operations captain ignored Jiang Ming and his group, roaring as he turned his gun around.
"Da da da da da—"
Gunfire erupted again.
The bullets struck the monitor lizard's scales, still producing that same despairing spectacle of sparks flying everywhere.
Although this Lv.6 Armored Giant Lizard doesn't have the fancy magical attacks of the Thunderhorn Flame Bull, its physical defense is practically a walking solid steel ingot.
Braving a hail of bullets, it pawed at the ground like an out-of-control bulldozer, charging toward the most densely populated area.
"It's over, we can't stop it!"
The defense line collapsed instantly.
Several special operations team members were thrown into the air. Although they survived thanks to their bulletproof vests, they suffered broken ribs and lay on the ground groaning in pain.
Just as the monitor lizard was about to rush into the mall entrance, dozens of civilians who had not yet evacuated were hiding there.
"Brother Jiang!"
Zhao Yanzhi shouted anxiously, his bowstring tethered until it was smoking, but he was still completely helpless.
Because his wooden arrows were clearly not as effective as the bullets used by the special agents.
"That thing is going in!"
At the mall entrance, several young girls who were live-streaming on their phones were already on the ground in fright, screaming all around them.
Jiang Ming's hands didn't stop moving.
He was carefully cutting a large tendon from the cow's hind leg.
This thing is extremely flexible and is clearly a core material that can be used to synthesize powerful crossbows or other ranged weapons. If it breaks, it's useless.
"What's the rush?"
Jiang Ming didn't turn his head, his tone as calm as if he were discussing what to have for dinner, "Let it dismantle the relocation for a while. The lizard's weak point is the third part of its abdomen." But now it's crawling close to the ground, so it's out of reach.
"But—" Xu Shishi looked at the civilians who were about to lose their lives, her hands holding the brass knuckles trembling.
"Zzz."
The final blow fell.
Jiang Ming flicked his wrist, and the translucent tendon was completely extracted.
He rolled up the resilient material with satisfaction, stuffed it into his storage card, and casually wiped the bloodstains off his clothes.
"alright."
Jiang Ming stood up, stretched his neck, and made a crisp cracking sound.
At this moment, the armored giant lizard's forepaws had already touched the mall steps.
Its yellowish-brown vertical pupils reflected the terrified faces of humans, and foul-smelling saliva dripped onto the polished marble floor.
"Feed".
A voice, though not loud, rang out with great penetrating power.
Jiang Ming had picked up a piece of the curb that had been broken earlier without anyone noticing—it was a piece of granite about the size of a watermelon.
He weighed the weight.
Strength attribute 30+.
This seemingly casual movement actually contains a terrifying explosive force comparable to that of a hydraulic press.
"Want to eat at the buffet? Have you bought tickets yet?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ming suddenly exerted force in his waist and abdomen, his whole body like a taut bow, and swung his right hand out fiercely!
"call--"
The heavy granite exploded in the air with a loud bang.
The monitor lizard had just turned its head.
"Bang!!!"
This "testing the waters" strike landed perfectly on the monitor lizard's head.
The hard granite was instantly pulverized, turning into a shower of stone dust.
Although it failed to break through the thick skull scales, the enormous impact caused the monitor lizard's head to tilt to the side, and half of its body to fall into the nearby green belt, letting out a painful whimper.
The entire room fell silent.
The special operations team members who were firing their guns were stunned.
Is this even human?
How could you throw a stone with your bare hands and knock over a monster as heavy as a small car?
Jiang Ming dusted off his hands, drew the already chipped Black Iron Horse-Slaying Sword from his waist, and looked coldly at the giant beast that was struggling to get up.
"Old Wang, go pry its mouth open."
"Old Li, prepare the poison sac and throw it into its mouth."
"Old Zhao... never mind, just keep shooting its eyes."
Jiang Ming walked step by step toward the giant lizard, his aura even more terrifying than the monster's.
"As for me..."
He gripped the sword in a reverse grip, a cruel smile curving his lips. "I'm here to perform brain surgery on it."
……
The armored giant lizard was clearly stunned by the stone.
It shook its head, trying to get up, but Wang Yang, that agile fat man, had already rushed in front of it.
"Hey! Grandpa's here to check your teeth!"
Wang Yang roared and, instead of using the axe to chop, directly thrust the [Ghost Face Round Shield] vertically into the giant lizard's wide-open mouth.
"Snap!"
The giant lizard instinctively bit down, its sharp fangs striking the black iron shield, sparks flying, but it couldn't penetrate the shield reinforced with the shell of an otherworldly spider.
Its mouth was stuck!
"Now!"
Li Bin emerged from behind, holding two green objects in his hands—these were the [highly concentrated acid poison balls] he had synthesized at school.
Like shooting a three-pointer, he precisely tossed the poison ball through the gap in the shield and deep into the giant lizard's throat.
"Glug."
The monitor lizard swallowed it.
next second.
"Roar—!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the street.
The strong acid exploded in its soft esophagus and stomach, and the excruciating pain from the inside out caused this invincible monster to instantly lose its mind. It rolled wildly in the street, its tail lashing out and smashing the ground to pieces.
"Get out of the way."
Upon hearing Jiang Ming's voice, Wang Yang and Li Bin instantly rolled to the sides, their movements so practiced it was heartbreaking.
Jiang Ming took two running steps and leaped high into the air, stepping on the hood of a wrecked car.
He gripped his sword with both hands in mid-air, the tips pointing downwards. He was like a black meteorite, using the momentum of his descent and his own monstrous strength to fiercely stab at the tiny gap between the giant lizard's eyes—the suture of its skull, its only weak point.
"Pfft!"
This sword strike encountered no obstacles whatsoever.
The 1.5-meter-long black iron heavy sword was embedded right in!
The monitor lizard's body suddenly stiffened, its limbs twitched a few times, and then it collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, with only its tail still twitching slightly as if by nerve reflex.
[Defeat a Lv.6 Armored Giant Lizard to gain experience points...]
Congratulations! Your level has increased to Lv...
Jiang Ming didn't have time to check the panel prompts.
He stomped on the lizard's head, forcefully pulled out his longsword, and a stream of foul-smelling black blood gushed out.
"Hurry up."
Jiang Ming turned around and instructed the two men following behind, "The claws and those pieces of carapace on this thing are valuable; dissect it in one minute!"
Wang Yang and Zhao Yanzhi immediately rushed forward, pulled out their daggers, and began skillfully "looting the corpse."
The special operations team members and surviving citizens around them were completely stunned.
What is this?
The monster, which the official firepower couldn't even scratch after being attacked for a long time, was killed by these few people in less than half a minute?
And the first reaction after the killing wasn't celebration, but...
Dissecting a corpse?
"Is...is this Superman?"
The special operations captain swallowed hard, his hand gripping the gun trembling slightly.
He suddenly realized that if he had actually given the order to fire, he probably wouldn't be much better off than that lizard.
"Captain, what do we do?" his companion's voice trembled. "Should we still make the arrest?"
The special operations captain gritted his teeth.
He couldn't back down because it was his duty.
"Block the intersection! Call for backup! We cannot allow them to leave our sight with dangerous weapons!"
