Chapter 49: The Side Effects of the Berserk Skill

~7 min read 1,365 words

"Run? Where are we supposed to run to?"

"This godforsaken place is in the middle of nowhere; where could we possibly run to!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes at his "good-for-nothing" Younger Sister with a look of disdain.

Looking around, the place where Zhang Yi and the others were currently located was nothing but mud and murky stagnant water.

That wasn't even the worst of it; in this boundless swamp, thick fog permeated the surroundings, and the visibility was so low that it felt no different to Zhang Yi than being blind.

In an environment like this, if one were to accidentally stumble into some dangerous area, they probably wouldn't even know how they died in the end.

Since death was inevitable either way, rather than being a coward and fleeing blindly, it would be better to give it a go; who knows, they might even be able to carve out a bloody path and gain some unexpected benefits.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi made up his mind on the spot.

"Screw it!"

"We're all just two shoulders carrying one head, who's afraid of whom!"

With a roar, the next second Zhang Yi immediately activated his newly learned system skill.

【Berserk!】

【Strength Enhancement!】

In an instant, Zhang Yi's entire body was enveloped in a mass of blood-colored light.

At this moment, he only felt an incomparably violent power surging crazily within his body.

He felt that his overall attributes had now received an unprecedented boost.

Whether it was speed, strength, or physical agility, everything had improved by an unknown number of levels.

"Old Mud Loach, don't be arrogant; today I'll let you have a taste of Bird-Grandpa's new methods!"

He shouted a challenge.

The next second, Zhang Yi transformed directly into a streak of blood-colored light and headed straight for the Earth Dragon.

Facing this sudden change, the Earth Dragon opposite him was clearly caught off guard.

Seeing that this guy not only didn't run for his life upon seeing him, but actually had the guts to attack proactively.

However, at this moment, he didn't take Zhang Yi's attack to heart at all.

In his view, an ant was an ant, after all.

The guy in front of him, although he felt a bit different from the "ants" he had encountered before.

Was at most just an ant with a personality and slightly stronger strength.

For an ant, there was usually only one outcome.

And that was to become the sustenance to fill his stomach.

Thinking this, the Earth Dragon first glanced at Zhang Yi with contempt, then opened his blood-red maw, preparing to swallow this "ant" who dared to provoke his authority in one gulp.

It was just a pity that the Earth Dragon was ultimately a bit too careless.

Just as he thought his supposedly infallible attack was about to land on Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi, who had been charging straight toward him, suddenly soared upward in mid-air.

Before the opponent could react, he followed up with a dive, slamming a claw hard onto the Earth Dragon's somewhat sluggish-feeling big head.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

The Earth Dragon had never expected the angle of the opponent's attack to be so tricky and strange; he had just let his guard down for a moment and ended up getting hit.

He shook his slightly dazed big head.

The Earth Dragon never imagined that this seemingly unremarkable little guy in front of him would possess such powerful strength.

How could such terrifying power be something this little guy in front of him could unleash?!

The Earth Dragon stared in a daze at Zhang Yi, who was hovering in mid-air, his ox-bell-sized eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

"Now is the time! Attack!"

Taking advantage of the Earth Dragon still being immersed in his daze and not having recovered.

The Quetzalcoatlus on the side seized the opportunity and directly issued the order to attack.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Accompanied by his pair of large wings, which were enough to blot out the sky and sun, beginning to flap frantically.

A howling gale suddenly erupted in the swamp that had been shrouded in fog.

The fog and poisonous miasma that had previously hindered them were instantly blown away.

This action by Long Ge immediately brightened the eyes of Ju Niao Mu Qin and Nudi, who had previously been looking at a hazy scene.

At the same time, the gale attack suddenly unleashed by the Quetzalcoatlus also interfered with the Earth Dragon's movements to a certain extent.

Although the impact wasn't huge, it was enough to interfere with the opponent's vision, making it impossible for him to lock onto Zhang Yi's figure for a short time.

Seeing that the battlefield had been cleared.

At this moment, Ju Niao Mu Qin, Xiao Pu, and Nudi also joined the battle one after another.

Nudi, who excelled in speed, although still feeling a bit afraid inside, endured the fear and relied on her flexible speed to constantly harass the Earth Dragon, so as to keep creating opportunities for Zhang Yi and the others to strike.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Pu also continuously fired fireballs toward the Earth Dragon.

It was just that the fireballs he previously thought were infallible, now landing on the Earth Dragon, caused negligible damage, at most helping Zhang Yi and the others distract this big guy.

Little did he know, Xiao Pu's successive attacks, while failing to cause any substantial damage, had to some extent thoroughly enraged the Earth Dragon, who was annoyed by the harassment!

Seeing this, the big guy suddenly fell to the ground and began to roll crazily in the swamp.

His massive size instantly kicked up monstrous mud from the swamp beneath him.

The swamp mud, emitting a strong, putrid odor, splashed everywhere, pouring down like a torrential rain.

For a moment, Long Ge, Nudi, and the Quetzalcoatlus, who hadn't expected the opponent to use such a hooligan tactic, were suddenly drenched from head to toe.

The only one who managed to escape unscathed was Zhang Yi, who was currently empowered by "Berserk."

Relying on the speed boost provided by the "Berserk" skill, this guy nimbly dodged the opponent's hooligan-like moves in the mud, all while not forgetting to throw out a few taunts.

"You stinking mud loach, is that all the skill you have?"

"You can't even touch the hem of my clothes, and you have the nerve to call yourself an Earth Dragon? I think you should just call yourself an Earth Worm!"

Looking at Zhang Yi's punchable face.

The Earth Dragon, already full of rage, was completely driven into a frenzy by the trash talk dripping with sarcasm from Zhang Yi.

Following this, his attacks became increasingly fierce.

It was just a pity that his size really offered no advantage at all.

Although every one of his attacks was grand in momentum, it was a pity that not a single move could land on Zhang Yi.

The battle continued for a long time, and the Earth Dragon, being frequently harassed, gradually began to feel its stamina failing.

Not only did its movements become sluggish, but even its breathing became increasingly heavy.

Seeing that the opponent had already revealed signs of fatigue.

Zhang Yi immediately realized that his chance had come!

"Looks like it's time to end this farce!"

Saying this, he immediately activated "Berserk" mode again and slammed fiercely into the Earth Dragon's head.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Earth Dragon's massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a huge splash and splattering Zhang Yi with mud.

"Pah! So dirty!"

Zhang Yi spat out a mouthful of muddy water and patted the stains on his body with a look of disgust.

After the battle ended, Zhang Yi felt a wave of weakness; this was the side effect of the "Berserk" skill.

He staggered a few steps, nearly falling into the swamp.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Nudi hurried over to support him.

"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted."

Zhang Yi waved his hand, "Although this 'Berserk' skill is powerful, the side effects are not small either; it seems I'll have to use it sparingly in the future."
