Chapter 226: The Endgame (Transitional Chapter)

Looking at the bugs that had already been pressed, Zheng Shu picked up the mace, which could already be called a mallet.

Although the magic inside has been completely destroyed, and the shape has become unsightly, it is made of high-quality magic metal, and there is still not much change in sturdiness and weight, which is still the best choice on such a battlefield.

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Shu barely stood up, the speech spirit just now gathered all his strength in order to be able to ensure that he would be killed with one blow, and now he couldn't even heal this huge wound on his body.

Although because of the characteristics of the dragon clan, his heart is still producing new magic power, and his body is constantly absorbing the magic power in the atmosphere to recover his strength, but for Zheng Shu now, this speed is too slow.

"Alas...... This is how the lower limit of humanity is broken little by little. Zheng Shu sighed helplessly, and pulled out a light blue light in the depths of his consciousness, which also showed the result of Zheng Shu's order just now.

[Physical fitness enhancement has been completed.] 】

During the battle just now, the panel had unconsciously strengthened Zheng Shu's body.

Except for some specific circumstances, Zheng Shu's strengthened body in most cases can retain consciousness, and he can maintain consciousness when he was just an ordinary person, and his body can also carry out limited activities within a certain range.

And now, Zheng Shu's physical strength has reached enough to support him to fight when he is undergoing drastic changes within his body.

"Anyway, I've already started cheating, so it doesn't matter how much or how little I do." Zheng Shu glanced at the insect in front of him, and a hideous smile appeared on his face, "Panel, if you strengthen your body again, you still need to consume one percent of your collection progress!" ”

[Instruction received.] 】

[Consumes 1% of the Impact Factor to strengthen the body]

……

Progress: 350.13%→349.13%

Green light bloomed from Zheng Shu's chest again, and the terrifying wounds on his body quickly closed, and he once again returned to his strongest posture.

"Come on! Let's keep fighting! ”

Faced with the swarm of insects that swooped down like a tsunami, Zheng Shu laughed wildly and raised his mace and took the initiative to charge towards the enemy.

Facing Zheng Shu's momentum, the beetles silently surrounded him.

……

……

"Attention! There should be a battlefield ahead! There are wizards who have detected a large number of magical reactions here before, and everyone is ready for battle! ”

At dusk, a group of centaurs in the forest was moving fast.

The various vines and branches in the jungle didn't seem to hinder them, and even without riding any mounts, these people could still run at jaw-dropping speeds in the jungle.

They are dressed in a variety of shapes, use weapons that are oddly shaped, and are generally incredibly strong. The few who looked thinner were able to keep up with the team's movement speed with the magical spells on their bodies.

This very distinctive dress, as long as you look at it, you can know that the identity of this group of people is the "heroes" who have been praised by others.

And at the forefront of these heroes is none other than Atalanta, who left before.

By this time, she had already taken another longbow, and she had already put on her new leather armor, and she was running quickly through the jungle with two bows and arrows that looked unusually thick.

Even among other heroes, Atalanta's speed is second to none, and even in many cases, in order to be able to lead the team to the target location, she needs to stop and wait for the people behind to follow.

Stopping in the treetops again and waiting for someone behind her to catch up with her, Atalanta's heart was full of impatience, but she also knew that there was no point in running over on her own.

Atalanta's speed was so fast that it would take a normal person three days to walk, and it took her only a few hours to reach the city.

And these heroes behind her were invited by her after running to the city, and Atalanta's luck was good, because several nearby cities were going to hold banquets, so most of the heroes were gathered together.

Originally, this group of people would choose to fight each other in order to vent their excess energy at the banquet, but now as soon as they heard the news brought by Atalanta, all the members immediately excitedly picked up their arms and rushed to the battlefield. It can be said that the group of people behind her is the strongest combat power that can be concentrated in a nearby area.

But Atalanta never imagined that this group of heroes, who sounded famous in the nearby city, would look so good and bad, and that nearly half of them would be lost in the jungle because they couldn't keep up with the group.

With this level of strength, Atalanta had to worry about whether the swarm they saw would be useful if this group of people really encountered it.

But it was useless to think about it now, and the only thing Atalanta thought about now was to get to the place where they had discovered the hive as soon as possible.

It's been a day, and hopefully the guy is still alive.

With this in mind, they finally came to the battlefield where Zheng Shu was.

It's just that the scene in front of him silenced everyone present.

In the blood red of the setting sun, thousands of corpses lay across this desolate land, broken arthropods, green slime, burning wreckage, in the battlefield full of smoke and stench, reflecting the fierceness of the battle just now.

In the middle of the battlefield, a figure sat alone in the wreckage, scarred and bloodstained from top to bottom, and the wounds on his face almost split his head in two.

In one of his two hands, he held a rather rough-looking metal rod, which was covered with highly corrosive slime and was now completely unrecognizable. In the other hand, he held the ramming horn of a beetle, on which was still half of the head of the worm, which it looked like the warrior had used as a combat hammer in his final moments.

Around the figure, the earth was completely shattered, with a mountain of broken limbs and carapaces, and wisps of white smoke from the slime-filled land.

When the wind blew through the battlefield, a fishy stench mixed with a bitter smell reached the nostrils of everyone present, because there were too many lives that died in a short period of time, under the atmosphere full of magical power, some people with strong perception could even hear the residual wails.

It can be seen that an extremely tragic war must have broken out here.

Atalanta looked at the figure in the distance in disbelief, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she quickly ran towards the figure despite the surrounding land covered with highly corrosive slime.

"This ...... What a monster......" One of the leading heroes looked at this tragic scene with some emotion, the muscles on his body were second to none even among this group of people, and with a height of more than two meters, the whole person was full of oppression like an iron tower. Even the weapons he uses are huge battle axes with very personal colors, and the huge axe surface is even larger than the body of an ordinary person.

At this time, he looked at the figure in the distance, and his tone was full of regret: "That guy is quite capable, it's a pity that such a strong warrior." ”

"Don't talk about you, you brute, that guy is alive and well, and his vitality is even stronger than yours." Next to the strong man, a thin-looking wizard wrapped in a robe rolled his eyes. The strength and character of his boss are not bad, but the only drawback is that the perception is too poor, and the brain seems to be a little stunned.

"Better than me?" The strong man touched his chin, a little curious, "It doesn't make sense, that guy doesn't look very strong, how can his vitality be stronger than me?" ”

Although they were separated from a long distance, with the sight of a strong man, he could clearly see the specific appearance of the figure in the distance, and in his opinion, the other party not only looked ordinary (referring to the lack of beard), but also did not have a strong figure.

Of course, judging from the fact that the other party can use the head of the bug as a war hammer, the physical fitness should not be very bad, but after all, it lacks a kind of impact.

The wizard squatted down and picked up a piece of broken carapace and examined it carefully, then handed it to the strong man next to him: "This guy's strength may be stronger than you think, look at the hardness of this thing, the defense of these beetles is much stronger than we expected." And judging by the size of the wreckage around it, the woman named Atalanta brought it over should be an individual who has not yet fully reached adulthood. ”

The strong man casually took the fragment in the other party's hand, and after reaching out and pinching it hard, his face suddenly became solemn.

The fragment appeared to be unusually thin, about the thickness of a fingernail, and should have been cracked from the surface of a large piece. But even if it was such a flake, he didn't directly crush or break it when he pinched it just now.

You must know that although the strong man did not use all his strength just now, the ordinary iron piece will be directly pinched and bent in his hand, but the fragment of this carapace in his hand does not seem to have changed at all.

The strong man unconsciously became serious, from the original two fingers to three fingers pinched, as he continued to exert force, this piece of fragment finally broke from the middle.

Looking at the broken fragments of his palm, the strong man's face did not have the slightest smug expression, but became more solemn, because he saw that carapaces thicker than this were everywhere on the battlefield, and many carapaces were even thicker than the axe he was carrying on his back.

"How is that possible?!"

Even such a thin carapace required him to break it with all his strength, so the strong man couldn't even imagine how terrifying the carapace was when it was intact, and he even suspected that his axe might only be able to split a crack if he slashed it with all his might.

In front of the carapace of these bugs, the strength of his pride seemed so weak.

"And these carapaces are not only simply hard, but also surprisingly good in terms of magic defense, and it is no exaggeration to say that this staff in my hand is not even as good as this fragment in terms of magic connectivity." The wizard picked up another severed arthropod that looked a little elongated.

As he kept injecting his magic power into it, a faint fluorescence appeared on the arthropod, and the strong man next to him could feel that with the blessing of the magic power, the hardness of this arthropod had risen to another level.

The strong man turned his head to look at the tragic battlefield in front of him, and at this time he had a clearer understanding of the strength of the enemy on this battlefield: "How is it possible?!" Did that guy kill all the bugs here? I guess there are thousands of wreckage that we can see...... Is this really something that humans can do? ”

"Of course ordinary humans can't do such things." The wizard looked at Atalanta, who was already approaching Zheng Shu in the distance, "However, if it wasn't a pure human, it was very likely. ”

"You mean...... "The strong man's eyes lit up, "is this guy a person with divine blood like me?" ”

"You can make a face!" The wizard now had a new understanding of the thickness of his companion's skin, "How thin is the divine bloodline in your body, don't you have any points in your heart?" According to your calculations, I am also a hero with divine blood! ”

Taunting his teammates, the wizard didn't bother with the shocked expressions of the people around him, but crouched down and picked up the carapace fragments on the ground into one of his cloth bags.

"Hurry up and pick it up with me, these carapaces are good things, and they are very good materials to bring back, whether they are used to make armor or robes."

"Really?!" Hearing this, the strong man immediately squatted down to pick up the tiny fragments.

In this battle, it was obvious that they had no loot to speak of, and because they came over voluntarily, not many people were willing to pay for them, and they didn't dare to touch the relatively intact corpses in the battlefield, after all, it was the trophies of the ruthless man in the middle of the battlefield, but if it was just to pick up some fine scraps, it would be no problem.

For strong men, although outsiders call them "heroes", in fact, they do not recommend doing hyena work when necessary, after all, even heroes need to eat.

……

……

"How are you?" After Atalanta approached Zheng Shu, she felt the vigorous vitality in his body and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Shu, who was sitting in a daze in the middle of the battlefield, turned his head when he heard the voice, and his eyes looked a little hollow. Seeing that it was Atalanta, he blinked, and his eyes regained some brilliance: "Tameow...... Luckily, I'm feeling good. ”

"I'm not called Tameow...... Forget it, are you sure you're okay? Your injuries are not light. Atalanta didn't bother to correct Zheng Shu about his name, and instead pointed to the huge scar on his face.

"Ah, this one, it's going to heal easily." Zheng Shu seemed to feel the pain of the wound on his body at this time.

Touching the scars on his face, as his mind moved, all the wounds on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a few seconds, his body had returned to a smooth appearance.

Thank you for the tips from the readers of the old hunter who passed by, and thank you for your support.

I'm a little tired today, and I'll continue to add more tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
