TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Finished with One Strike

Xie YunChuan directly used vines to control and swing the ice blade, heavily slashing downwards. He saw the severed rotten flesh arching back towards the zombie’s feet in the blink of an eye, quickly being integrated and absorbed, while the cut he had just made recovered to its original state with light speed.

It just goes to show that you can’t just bury your head and work hard; hacking for so long was a waste of effort.

With each step the large, two-meter-tall, one-meter-wide behemoth took, Xie YunChuan could feel the ground tremble. The key point was that despite its clumsy gait, its attack speed was not slow at all.

Xie YunChuan darted around, dodging, and with a mid-air spin, barely avoided the zombie’s fist. The wind whistling past grazed his clothes. Before finding an entry point, he didn’t want to waste his abilities.

The zombie chased Xie YunChuan, and Xie YunChuan kept dodging its attacks. It couldn’t hurt Xie YunChuan, who was running around the arena like he was teasing a monkey.

The zombie was provoked and stopped, beating its chest and roaring towards the sky. Then, Xie YunChuan saw many small, meatball-like creatures successively jumping down from its body.

They had no faces, only mouths that opened and closed and meat pillars that supported them like legs, rushing towards Xie YunChuan. Every time Xie YunChuan dispersed one, it would turn into a puddle of mud, wriggling back to the zombie and shrinking upwards along its feet.

Repeating the cycle, Xie YunChuan kept dispersing them, and they would return to the zombie and condense into new meatballs.

These meatballs didn’t seem to have much attack power, but their teeth were exceptionally sharp, and they were endless and numerous. Xie YunChuan believed that if he was careless and got pounced on, he would be gnawed clean in less than a minute, leaving not even meat scraps behind.

He couldn’t eliminate them fast enough, and more and more meatballs surged towards Xie YunChuan. Gu Tangxi, entangled with low-level zombies on the third floor, happened to see the scene below as she leaped into the air. Her scalp went numb; her trypophobia was about to kick in.

Thinking about it now, Xie YunChuan was really good to her. At least she had the power to fight back against these low-level zombies. If she faced that ugly monster, she’d be done for in two seconds.

There’s a reason why standing high and seeing far is beneficial. She spotted the key point at a glance. As countless meatballs crawled out of the giant zombie, its body was gradually shrinking.

Gu Tangxi shouted loudly, “Xie YunChuan, look at its main body!”

Entangled by the meatballs and unable to attend to anything else, Xie YunChuan immediately looked up upon hearing this. He reacted quickly, unleashing three abilities at once. A huge stream of water washed away the meatballs lunging at him.

Vines hooked onto the stairs above the zombie’s head, and he quickly flashed over. Spreading his arms, countless ice pillars with sharp tips accumulated in front of him. Pressing down with all his strength, all the pillars firmly pierced into the zombie’s body, one directly piercing through the skull from the crown of its head, embedding into the ground.

The moment the zombie fell, each meatball turned into a pool of rotten flesh, a pile here, a lump there, a scene that was extremely disgusting. Fortunately, in this end of the world, people had seen many disgusting scenes, and Xie YunChuan could now remain expressionless.

“Big Brother, come help me when you’re done!” Gu Tangxi shouted from above, straining her throat.

Xie YunChuan flung an ice blade, cutting open the zombie’s head to take the crystal core. Then, using vines, he leaped to the third floor. A dozen zombies were chasing Gu Tangxi everywhere, apparently, Gu Tangxi’s abilities were exhausted. Xie YunChuan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen rhomboid ice cones precisely pierced the zombies’ foreheads, killing them instantly.

He looked at Gu Tangxi standing to the side with a broken axe in her hand, secretly shaking his head. She was still too weak.

Gu Tangxi stared blankly as the zombie in front of her slowly fell, an ice cone protruding from its head. She slowly lowered the axe she hadn’t had time to swing, turned her head to look at Xie YunChuan, then turned back to look at the zombies lying all over the ground.

He just lightly raised his hand, waved it, and it was over. They just collapsed in droves!?

Then what was she doing, risking her life to ambush them one by one, then quickly taking the crystal cores to absorb and replenish energy before dutifully finding opportunities to take down another one?

Even so, she couldn’t even manage a few before her abilities were exhausted, and she could only pick up a broken axe and use all her strength to dodge while occasionally giving them a whack.

What was all her hard work for?

Was she just a pitiful underling, feeling inferior under the light of a powerful figure?

Xie YunChuan: “What are you standing there for? Collect the crystal cores. They’re all yours.”

“Yes sir, Big Brother, thank you, Boss!” Recovering in a second, Gu Tangxi felt like she was capable again. Those underlings who were jealous of Big Brother all had something wrong with their brains. Wasn’t it good to follow Big Brother and have good food and drinks? Why were they doing self-destructive things that they couldn’t think through?

Come to think of it, when did Xie YunChuan secretly go monster-hunting and level up without her knowing? Weren’t they always traveling together? How come they couldn’t even beat a level one zombie together back then, but now that one just now was probably level two.

And yet, he took it down with a bit of effort? And he could still come here and sweep her away with one strike, instantly turning her to ashes. Was this some male lead character from a novel walking into reality? Oh my god, she’d latched onto a real big shot.

She’d decided. She wasn’t going back to that damn Half-Moon Base. She was going to follow Xie YunChuan and be the number one underling by the male lead’s side, the legendary right-hand man.

In the future, when Xie YunChuan sat on the throne, she would sit in the first seat on his right.

Hahaha, just imagining the future made her feel great. This legendary life of riding the waves and ascending to the throne!

Xie YunChuan occasionally glanced back at Gu Tangxi, who was smiling like an idiot behind him, feeling a little strange. Had she been bitten by a zombie and was about to mutate?

He’d never seen any zombie mutation precursors like this. Could it be that she hit her head while fighting the zombies and became stupid?

Xie YunChuan was a little worried about how he should explain to Gu Tangyue that her sister had gone crazy.

She seemed even more serious than Shuyou. Shuyou had impaired intelligence and didn’t know anything, but she seemed to have completely lost it.

Xie YunChuan quickened his pace, feeling a little disheveled. Gu Tangxi followed closely behind him, smiling foolishly.

Gu Tangyue pulled the sobbing Luo Shuyou to a hidden corner and coaxed him for a long time, taking out all the little things she could think of from her space. In the end, it was his little bear backpack that calmed him down.

She’d forgotten about such a thing. Before, when Luo Shuyou was quitting blood, he was mentally exhausted, and Xie YunChuan thought his little backpack was cumbersome, so he asked Gu Tangyue to put it away in her space.

Thank goodness she didn’t know how she managed to fish it out. Luo Shuyou stopped crying when he saw the backpack, and with sobs, he opened the zipper and took out the candy inside.

Without Xie YunChuan, he wasn’t delicate anymore. He would peel the candy wrappers himself. With teary eyes, he peeled a candy and put it in his mouth. It tasted sweeter than before. Luo Shuyou’s aggrieved heart was healed a little.

The White Tiger Cub rubbed against his leg, and he thoughtfully peeled a candy and threw it into its mouth. He had always been willing to share with Little Ball.

Gu Tangyue was touched by his cuteness and deliberately approached him, saying in a gentle voice that could drown someone, “Shuyou baby, peel one for Sister too.” Like a big bad wolf deceiving Little Red Riding Hood.

Luo Shuyou sniffled, turned around with Little Ball, and went to play on the side, ignoring her. He poured out all the candy from his bag and piled it on the ground. The two of them happily counted the candies, you pulling them over, I pulling them over, neither of them could figure out the count!

Gu Tangyue sat to the side and exhaled a long breath. If he didn’t want to play with her, then he didn’t want to play with her. As long as he didn’t cry anymore, that was good enough.
