Chapter 118: The Disfigured Woman
Watching the giant ape grab a huge hammer and slam it toward him again, Ding Huan really wanted to stay and kill this giant ape.
This place was very open, and with the help of the wind blade technique and the wind-riding technique, he might not be unable to kill this Grade 9 beast.
It’s just that Ding Huan knew very well that he couldn't do this.
Wanting to kill the giant ape wasn't a matter of a moment, and the endless beasts here wouldn't give him a chance to escape.
What’s more, there was a demon beast here that didn't know where it was hiding, possibly surpassing a Grade 9 beast.
Ding Huan blasted out more than a dozen wind blades again, then kicked the log he had intercepted. As the log flew toward the sea, Ding Huan also flew toward the sea.
"Boom!" Almost at the same time Ding Huan left the shore, the huge hammer slammed into the position where he had previously landed.
But this giant ape hated Ding Huan to the bone; it actually grabbed the hammer and threw it out in an instant.
This beast clearly had rich combat experience; it didn't directly use the hammer to smash Ding Huan, but blasted it onto Ding Huan’s path forward.
No matter how strong Ding Huan’s air-riding technique was, his true essence couldn't support this extreme consumption.
Seeing that he was about to hit the hammer himself, Ding Huan could only forcibly twist his body and rush back to the shore.
Even though Ding Huan reacted in time, he was still grazed by the hammer on his waist, almost being blasted into the sea.
"This damn ape," Ding Huan was furious.
"Won't even let me leave?"
The Starry Sky Blade was slashed out by Ding Huan, followed by hundreds of wind blades locking the giant ape’s space.
Since he couldn't leave, he would fight. Ding Huan followed his Starry Sky Blade and rushed toward the giant ape.
"Roar, roar, roar!" Seeing Ding Huan so arrogant, how could the giant ape endure it? Amidst the wild roars, it also rushed toward Ding Huan.
Almost at the moment the giant ape and Ding Huan made contact, Ding Huan’s figure flashed, passing the giant ape’s side. At the same time, a fireball was thrown by Ding Huan into the giant ape’s open mouth.
Ding Huan timely retracted the Starry Sky Blade, then changed the direction of the Starry Sky Blade, stabbing it down from the giant ape’s back again.
The giant ape originally smashed a fist toward the back of Ding Huan’s Starry Sky Blade, and the other claw grabbed at Ding Huan’s throat, but Ding Huan retracted the Starry Sky Blade in time, so the giant ape smashed into empty air and grabbed into empty air.
Those hundreds of wind blades, for the giant ape, the damage was negligible.
Boom! The fireball exploded in the giant ape’s throat, and the giant ape’s throat was blasted out from the inside to the outside by the fireball, creating a bloody hole.
From the giant ape blasting out the hammer to block Ding Huan from leaving, to Ding Huan flying back to attack the giant ape, to the giant ape counterattacking Ding Huan’s Starry Sky Blade and grabbing Ding Huan’s neck, then Ding Huan dodging to the side and throwing the fireball into the giant ape’s mouth, and retracting the Starry Sky Blade, all this happened in an instant.
The giant ape let out a miserable, painful roar.
Ding Huan’s Starry Sky Blade timely pierced into the giant ape’s body from the giant ape’s back.
At this time, Ding Huan wouldn't hold back; he pulled the Starry Sky Blade in his hand downward.
The giant ape’s tragic roar made people’s teeth ache just listening to it.
With such terrifying damage, the giant ape didn't dare to stay for even half a breath, and with a splash of blood, it fled wildly.
The remaining beasts then rushed toward Ding Huan all at once.
Ding Huan rushed toward the sea surface again, his body sliding like skiing on the sea surface for a period of time, and then landed exactly in the middle of the log.
Then, true essence surged under Ding Huan’s feet, and the log, like a small boat, carried Ding Huan away instantly.
He knew that the giant ape wouldn't die. As long as the giant ape returned to entangle him for a while, he would be dead, so he left first.
Watching Ding Huan escape again, the remaining beasts roared wildly on the shore.
The three people hiding far away in the steel fortress heard the giant ape’s roar and all fell silent.
Wei Datai didn't even continue to watch with binoculars.
"He should be gone." After a long time, Wei Datai sighed.
They had seen that giant ape; it was definitely a behemoth-like existence.
It was said that this global beast tide was provoked by a dragon beast, but in the eyes of the few of them, the strength of that giant ape was definitely not inferior to that dragon beast.
If Ding Huan was blocked by that giant ape on the wall of the human corridor defense line, it would definitely be a death with no life.
"Sigh..." Han Qi sighed.
In fact, she still admired Ding Huan very much for teaching several powerful disciples.
Originally, she wanted to wait for this holiday to visit Teacher Ding Huan. She didn't expect to see Ding Huan here, and it turned out to be the last meeting.
Ding Huan didn't plan to leave the shore too far; this was the Atlantic Ocean. If he left too far, with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to get ashore alive.
But just as Ding Huan thought of this, a sharp blade shot out from the seabed, shooting directly at his throat.
True essence arrow light?
Ding Huan was terrified and hurriedly flew up. The arrow light grazed the soles of his feet.
So strong! The beast that could shoot this kind of arrow light was at least Grade 4 or Grade 5.
Ding Huan felt a bit uneasy. If there were such underwater beasts in the sea that could attack him with arrow light, he would probably be in trouble.
Before Ding Huan could land on the ground, more than a dozen arrow lights shot at him.
Following that, hundreds of fish with protruding blade-like things on their backs flew out of the water and then rushed toward Ding Huan in unison.
Ding Huan’s scalp went numb, and his hands frantically waved out sheets of wind blades. He was sure this was the fastest time he had ever cast wind blades.
This was because he had divine sense; without divine sense, he wouldn't even have the ability to fight back in such a place.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
Arrows of blood sprayed out in the air, splashing on the sea surface.
At the same time, Ding Huan felt a pain in his body. He was sure that at least six arrow lights had hit him, one of which had even pierced through his body.
His divine sense was still too weak; he couldn't defend against so many arrow lights, and he couldn't kill so many blade fish at once.
This time, Ding Huan killed at least thirty or forty of these blade-backed fish.
Also because of Ding Huan’s slaughter, this area of the sea became like crazy.
Various fish gathered around.
When Ding Huan saw hundreds more blade fish flying out of the sea and the endless arrow lights spraying toward him, Ding Huan knew that if he didn't leave, he would be dead.
This was not on the shore. If he were on the shore, he would have plenty of ways. Here, he only had one log. If that log was destroyed, he wouldn't even have a place to land.
Now these fish hadn't thought of it, but if he lingered here, these things would sooner or later think of gnawing on the log.
After Ding Huan’s feet landed on the log, the true essence under his feet surged wildly, and the log split the seawater and fled like an arrow from a bow.
Hundreds more arrow lights shot over, and Ding Huan’s Starry Sky Blade kept slashing out, but it still couldn't block so many.
"Pfft, pfft!" Arrows of light blasted onto Ding Huan’s body, constantly bringing out blood arrows on Ding Huan’s body.
Ding Huan couldn't stop, and he didn't dare to be too distracted.
He had to concentrate all his energy on his feet, at least to rush out of this group of blade-backed fish.
This group of blade fish was truly too terrifying.
Even though Ding Huan had a strong recovery ability, as more and more arrow lights hit him, he felt extremely weak.
If it weren't for the large bag on his back helping him block some of the arrow lights, his injuries would have been even more serious.
Fortunately, Ding Huan’s strategy was correct. He risked injury and finally rushed out of the encirclement of these terrifying fierce fish.
At this moment, Ding Huan completely lost his direction. Even though he tried his best to avoid vital points, the excessive blood loss still made Ding Huan feel dizzy.
Ding Huan knew very well that on this ocean, as long as he fainted, it would be equivalent to death.
Anyway, he had lost his direction, so Ding Huan frantically drove the log under his feet while rushing forward.
Until he saw a faint little reef island, Ding Huan didn't care if the island was dangerous. He controlled the log to rush toward the island without any hesitation.
Almost just as Ding Huan rushed to the edge of the island, he fainted.
Ding Huan’s last consciousness was that it was over. He hadn't stepped onto the island yet, but he really couldn't hold on anymore.
Excessive blood loss, severe injuries, and the constant frantic driving of true essence. If it weren't for the fact that he had fused with the injury recovery gene, he would have long been buried in the fish’s belly.
But now there was no difference; it was just a matter of sooner or later.
The first thing Ding Huan saw when he opened his eyes was a reef that didn't know how many times it had been washed by the sea. A faint light fell in, giving him a sense of extreme quiet.
If it weren't for the sound of sea waves hitting the reef coming from outside, he would have thought everything before was a dream.
Not dead?
Ding Huan jumped up.
The extremely strong recovery gene allowed him to recover very quickly.
"You actually recovered?" A slightly hoarse woman’s voice came, and Ding Huan saw a young woman wearing hemp clothes.
The woman’s hair was a bit messy, and her face was covered by a gray cloth.
Her figure was very good, slim but not thin.
Her eyes were very bright but carried a faint melancholy. Her neck was full of scars, and although her clothes covered the rest, Ding Huan could guess that this woman had suffered great torture.
"You saved me?"
Ding Huan felt something was wrong as soon as he said it. He stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes: "You are not from Earth?"
Then Ding Huan was sure that he didn't need to ask at all. This woman in front of him was definitely not from Earth because what she just said was Cangyu language.
Cangyu characters and Cangyu language were the universal languages of the universe, except for planets like Earth that had not yet participated in space activities.
All planets that participated in space activities used this language.
The woman also widened her eyes. She just spoke Cangyu language subconsciously.
She had never thought that there would be anyone on Earth who could understand Cangyu language.
"Are you also from another planet?" The woman’s voice trembled, her eyes full of longing and excitement.
There were billions of people living on Earth. Even in the era of fierce beasts, the number of people living here had decreased a lot, but there were still billions.
Living on Earth with so many people, she was very lonely.
Because she was an outsider, a fugitive who had to be interrogated after being caught.
Ding Huan calmed down and shook his head: "No, I am an Earthling. I have left Earth before, so I know Cangyu language."
Hearing that Ding Huan was still an Earthling, the excitement in the woman’s eyes dissipated a little.
"Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have been killed by fish long ago." Ding Huan thanked the woman extremely seriously.
The woman shook her head, "I saw you fainted by this reef island, so I brought you back. In fact, we are still going to die; it’s just a matter of time. I didn't touch your bag; it’s right there."
Ding Huan followed the direction the other party pointed, and sure enough, he saw his bag.
"My name is Ding Huan, what about you?" Ding Huan could see that this woman didn't seem to be a gene cultivator, but she should have practiced ancient martial arts; otherwise, it would be impossible to survive here.
"My name is Qi Xinyue." The woman replied.
"There is no one here, why do you always cover your face?" Ding Huan was a bit confused. On this desolate reef island, what was there to cover?
Qi Xinyue hesitated for a moment, then pulled away the veil.
Ding Huan looked at the woman in front of him, and his heart felt as if it had been tugged.
What kind of face was this? Except for the eyes that were still bright, the entire face was covered in scars. Red scars were spread across her face like twisted centipedes.
The exquisite proportions of her features made Ding Huan sure that before being scarred, she was a peerless beauty.
"Who did it? Why treat you like this?" Although Ding Huan was asking, his heart was full of anger.
It wasn't because Qi Xinyue saved him that he was completely biased toward her.
Ding Huan didn't know how many slaughters he had experienced or how many people he had seen.
As soon as he saw Qi Xinyue, he knew she was not a vicious person because he didn't feel any murderous aura from her.
She must be hiding here to survive, and even so, when she met him, an uncertain factor, she still reached out to save him.
"I came to Earth seven years ago, and then I was caught by them..."
Qi Xinyue only said one sentence, and Ding Huan looked at her in surprise, "So you are the person from the alien spaceship that landed on Earth seven years ago?"
