Chapter 2350

Dapuxiu Fortress, fifth underground floor, in the corridor sealed by branches.

Slash marks crisscrossed on the walls and ceiling, and in some places, there were splash-like bloodstains. A few black bone spurs were stuck on the wall.

Crimson · Tasha stood on the inner side of the corridor, with the giant ape beside her and Poison Claw behind her.

Drip, drip~

Fresh blood dripped down Tasha's chin. The wide-blade long sword she held had multiple chips.

Compared to Tasha, the parasitic species · giant ape was much more miserable. He had to lean against the wall to stand firm, and the side of his skull had already been slashed off diagonally. Fortunately, he was a parasitic species, otherwise, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Poison Claw on the side only had one right arm left, and a clear penetrating wound could be seen at his throat, with fresh blood gushing out. Poison Claw's vitality was still quite tenacious.

"This... monster."

Tasha's eyes were fixed on the other side of the corridor. Here, more than a dozen broken black bone spurs were stuck on the ground, and the branch wall behind was full of large holes.

Su Xiao was standing in mid-air. If one observed carefully, they would find that he was stepping on a light cyan thread under his feet. This was the Boundary Breaking Line. He hadn't used it for a long time, and the corridor terrain in this battle was relatively suitable for using the Boundary Breaking Line.

Fresh blood flowed down Su Xiao's left arm. He was injured. His left shoulder was shot and penetrated by a black bone spur. This was exchanged at the cost of half the giant ape's skull and Tasha almost having her spine pierced by a blade.

Poison Claw's ability was very troublesome. At this moment, there was a faint bitter taste in Su Xiao's mouth. The black bone spur more than two meters long didn't contain lethal poison, but a kind of spore—highly active spores.

After these spores invaded the wound, detoxification items had no effect. They would grow near the wound. At first, it was very slow, one becoming two, two becoming four. In just a few seconds, this incremental growth would reach a terrifying quantity.

These spores wouldn't invade the body but would grow on the body surface starting from the wound. While growing, they would also harden, looking like a kind of purple coral.

At this moment, on Su Xiao's shoulder and half of his left arm, spores were clinging. These spores not only affected his left arm's movement but also accelerated his stamina consumption.

Shhh~

The Boundary Breaking Line was retracted by Su Xiao. The moment he fell from mid-air, he had turned into a blue afterimage.

Boom, boom, boom!

The giant ape swung his fists and smashed wildly in front. He grabbed the corpses on the ground and threw them forward. Judging from his perception, Su Xiao's speed was too fast, to the point where he couldn't keep up at all. This kind of large-scale indiscriminate attack was more effective.

A transparent blade light flew over, making Su Xiao stop. Three black bone spurs attacked in a 'pin' shape.

'Blade Dao Blade · Blood Blade.'

Blood-colored feathers fell in mid-air, and a slash mark crossed the giant ape's chest, with a large amount of fresh blood splashing up.

"Caught you!"

The giant ape looked ferocious. While leaning backward, he gripped his hand tightly, and a phantom appeared in his hand, being gripped by him until it clicked. This was an opportunity. Since the start of the battle, it was the only time the three aliens had a chance to severely injure or even kill Su Xiao.

And a few meters away, Su Xiao stopped on the spot, and a large hand formed of energy grabbed him.

"Roar."

Blood energy spread, and the Blood Beast gathered behind Su Xiao, pouncing straight toward the giant ape.

Thud!

Blood energy exploded. Within the blood energy, Tasha was slashed back by Su Xiao. This was not an opportunity at all, but a bait set by Su Xiao.

With a boom, the giant ape's corpse fell to the ground. His upper body was smashed to pieces by the Blood Beast. Even if he was a parasitic species, after the perfect parasitic soul, he would die if he suffered such an injury.

【You have killed an enemy leader-level unit, Parasitic Ape · Anjidu.】

【Due to the special racial nature of Parasitic Ape · Anjidu, you will receive a double treasure chest. This double treasure chest can be opened after synthesis, or opened separately.】

【You have obtained Holy Spirit-level treasure chest · Anjidu.】

【You have obtained Holy Spirit-level treasure chest · White Ape.】

【You have obtained 185 merit points.】

As a leader-level enemy, killing the giant ape directly gained Su Xiao 185 merit points, which was equivalent to the reward for killing dozens of contractors. The two treasure chests dropped by the giant ape could be synthesized, which was very interesting.

Su Xiao only glanced at the two treasure chests beside the giant ape's corpse and ignored them. His situation now was not good. The smashing sounds on the ceiling were getting louder, indicating that the fission-type species on the fourth floor above were about to smash through the ceiling and jump into the corridor.

Not only that, but sounds could also be heard at the entrance of the corridor. It wouldn't be long before a large group of fission-type species would attack from behind and above.

The one Su Xiao most wanted to kill was not the giant ape, but Poison Claw. Unfortunately, the giant ape was a peerless good teammate, blocking the corridor with his huge body, not retreating even after a piece of his skull was slashed off, separating Su Xiao from Poison Claw.

The giant ape didn't have any eye-catching abilities, but his survivability was very tenacious. Plus, his huge size meant Su Xiao slashed him more than twenty times before using the Blood Beast to pounce and kill him.

This guy not only had high health but should also have three to four defense-type abilities, plus a healing ability that was ridiculously fast. Two minutes ago, Su Xiao slashed open the giant ape's abdomen, with the wound deep enough to reach the organs. Just 20 seconds later, the wound turned into a bloodstain.

Poison Claw, hiding in the distance, was cowardly throughout, retreating as far as he could.

Poison Claw also knew that he couldn't die yet. This guy was hiding among more than thirty elite fission-type species. Although these elite fission-type species were half-dead from the erosion of the power of Dead Silence, they were not afraid of death and had already blocked many blades for Poison Claw.

Tasha was even more troublesome. She never fought Su Xiao head-on, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and then keeping Su Xiao here forever. Before that, just holding the enemy back was enough. On this point, Tasha's decision was very correct. This was an alien fortress, and Su Xiao couldn't stay here for long.

Time had passed 5 minutes and 37 seconds. Su Xiao could perceive that the fluctuation preventing him from piercing through space was fading.

Two long swords clashed, and blade light crisscrossed.

Tasha retreated again and again. What she had to do was not make mistakes. Just a small flaw could lead to her skull being slashed off.

Clang!

Long swords clashed. Tasha's strength was not weaker than Su Xiao's, but she was still retreating. As long as reinforcements arrived, she could keep the enemy here forever.

Boom.

Gravel fell from above. A hole the size of a basketball was smashed through the ceiling. After a few more roars, the hole expanded to several meters wide.

A fission-type species wearing heavy armor and holding a giant sword leaped down. The moment he landed, a blade light flew over.

Pshh.

Fresh blood splashed, but the fission-type species only staggered back a few steps, then gripped the giant sword with both hands and pounced toward Su Xiao.

Fission-type species holding heavy weapons leaped down from the hole above one after another. The giant ape paid with his life to drag it out until reinforcements arrived.

Tasha leaped backward lightly and let out a long sigh of relief. The heavy armor troops had arrived. They were troops specifically formed to deal with strong enemies. Even she didn't dare to face hundreds of heavy armor troops at the same time, especially inside a building, where their heavy weapons were very lethal.

Fission-type species holding giant swords or war hammers charged toward Su Xiao. They were all wearing full-body heavy armor, which was at least three fingers thick. Judging from the metal density, this full-body armor weighed at least 2,500 to 3,000 jin. If strength and agility attributes weren't high enough, they couldn't walk normally after wearing this, let alone fight. Don't ignore one point: their weapons were heavier than the armor. The weight of these guys had to be measured in tons.

A heavy armor alien charged toward Su Xiao. His speed was not fast, even somewhat clumsy, but inside a building, the space to dodge was too small.

After the heavy armor alien charged out for a few meters, he actually leaped up while gripping the war hammer with both hands.

Zheng!

Blade light slashed past. The heavy armor alien in mid-air paused. He didn't even let out a muffled groan, dragging a wisp of fresh blood, and swung the war hammer, which was as thick as a water bucket, smashing toward the ground a few meters in front of Su Xiao.

Thud~

An earthy-yellow shock spread. Su Xiao was swept by this shockwave, with no possibility of dodging at all. The entire corridor was within the range of the shockwave.

Su Xiao felt a slight numbness in his body, which could be ignored.

Thud, thud, thud...

War hammers, giant swords, and other heavy weapons smashed onto the ground, and dozens of earthy-yellow shockwaves spread simultaneously.

Tasha and Poison Claw instantly lost their strength and almost sat on the ground. This was the heavy armor troop—clumsy, painless, heavy armor and acquired modification gave them tenacious survivability, like heavy tanks. They weren't used for war; they were too clumsy and bloated. They were specifically used to deal with strong enemies and guard the Alien King. As long as it was inside a building, no one was their opponent.

Swept by dozens of shockwaves, Su Xiao felt his whole body start to lose strength. These heavy armor aliens were more troublesome than the combination of Tasha and the other two big bosses. One or two slashes couldn't kill them. Su Xiao had previously wondered why the older Autistic Brother's strength wasn't weak, yet he was killed in an instant.

With a boom, a figure nearly five meters tall leaped down from above. His armor was thicker and heavier, conservatively estimated to be ten centimeters thick, making him look bloated but unstoppable.

This heavy armor alien leader held a giant axe in both hands. The axe head was the size of a door panel, and the handle was nearly four meters long. The edge of the giant axe was plated to improve its sharpness.

The giant axe alien had just landed when he gripped the giant axe with both hands and began to spin on the spot.

A whimpering wind sound spread. The giant axe alien spun toward Su Xiao like a spinning top, the rotation creating wind pressure and adsorbing surrounding gravel and corpses.

The giant axe alien didn't care at all whether he would die. No pain meant he wouldn't stop easily. His only belief was to kill the invader.

Other heavy armor aliens charged forward for a few steps and then leaped to hammer the ground. The earthy-yellow shockwaves didn't stop for a moment, and in front of them, the giant axe alien spun out a spiral airflow.

These were the reinforcements Tasha and the others were waiting for—the heavy armor troops that couldn't be beaten back or smashed. They didn't even have any feelings.
