Chapter 252: Fighting with Wisdom

The Caveman guard gave Su Xiao the feeling of being a lump of iron. Although his body size wasn't large, his body strength was very high.

At this moment, Su Xiao's position was at the entrance of the open space. He ran a few steps to a steel machine and slashed off an iron pipe several dozen centimeters thick.

*Pfft~. *

A large amount of scorching steam sprayed out. Su Xiao jumped backward, and the Caveman guard followed closely.

The steam spread out. After contacting the air, the temperature of the steam dropped. Although it was still a bit scorching, it wouldn't burn the skin.

The steam wrapped Su Xiao and the Caveman guard inside. The line of sight became white and vast.

Su Xiao's perception was very strong. He could clearly perceive the Caveman guard's position and the attack movements the other party made. This kind of environment was very favorable to him.

In the steam, the Caveman guard swung the nail hammer in his hand wildly, making angry roars from time to time.

Cold light flashed. Su Xiao slashed at the Caveman guard's back neck. The hard feeling of hitting bone appeared. He retreated after injuring the enemy.

The Caveman guard ran around like a headless fly, trying every means to find Su Xiao's figure.

Knife light appeared again. This knife stood on the Caveman guard's back, and a bloody wound appeared. The wound's flesh turned over, and the severe pain of 【Blue Steel Shadow】 made the Caveman guard's eyes red, with large bloodshot eyes appearing.

"Roar!"

With a roar like a beast, the Caveman guard gripped the nail hammer and swung it with full force. The strong wind pressure blew the steam away a bit.

Su Xiao walked slowly behind the Caveman guard, like a god of death in the fog. He held the knife with both hands and stabbed at the Caveman guard's back heart.

*Swish. *

【Zhan Long Shan】 pierced through the Caveman guard's chest. This knife pierced through the heart.

The Caveman guard lowered his head and saw the blood-stained knife tip, with some disbelief in his eyes.

"Ah!"

A shout full of anger and unwillingness, but the Caveman guard was helpless.

This kind of injury was enough to be fatal, but the Caveman guard's vitality was too tenacious. Although his chest was spraying blood, he still swung the nail hammer in his hand with full force, wanting to smash the enemy in the steam to death.

After struggling for a full two minutes, the Caveman guard began to stagger.

With a *clang*, the nail hammer in the Caveman guard's hand fell to the ground, and his body fell forward.

Looking at the Caveman guard's corpse, Su Xiao's face didn't look very good. This "small fry" was too strong. If he encountered a boss-level creature, how strong would it be?

【You killed the Caveman guard.】

【The Caveman guard is a creature of a hidden location. The Hunter can choose one of the following options as a reward.】

Option 1: 3,500 Paradise Coins.

Option 2: The treasure chest dropped by the Caveman guard.

Option 3: Soul Crystal (Fragment) × 1

Option 4: V-type alchemy virus resistance 5%. ('Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground' core is filled with V-type alchemy virus.)

Su Xiao encountered this situation for the first time. There was no treasure chest dropped directly after killing the enemy, but several options appeared.

First, exclude Paradise Coins. Although Paradise Coins were precious, there were many ways to obtain them.

The Caveman guard was just a small fry of the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground', and the value of the dropped treasure chest might not be very high.

As for the Soul Crystal (Fragment), Su Xiao hadn't heard of what this was. After checking, he learned that ten Soul Crystals (Fragments) could be synthesized into one Soul Crystal (Small).

The last Option 4 was very interesting. It was a resistance to an alchemy virus.

Reincarnation Paradise would give this kind of reward, which only indicated one possibility: that after reaching the core location of the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground', Reincarnation Paradise would likely not provide a stronger air filtration device, and Su Xiao could only rely on his body to resist it.

Without hesitation, he chose V-type alchemy virus resistance 5%. He needed to cross the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground', and it was highly likely he would pass through the core area.

Su Xiao looked at the situation on Xiang Bubu's side.

Unlike Su Xiao's side, Xiang Bubu's side was exceptionally happy. Xiang Bubu ran in front, and three Caveman guards chased behind.

Xiang Bubu barked twice from time to time, its tail wagging fast, and the hatred was pulled very full.

The three Caveman guards shouted angrily, and the open space was a mess.

Su Xiao didn't go to meet the enemy immediately. He slashed off several main pipes in the open space, and a large amount of steam sprayed out. The steam spread, and the temperature rose rapidly.

Xiang Bubu's IQ increased significantly during the battle, and it stepped into the steam with small steps.

Having been teased by Xiang Bubu for a long time, the three Caveman guards naturally wouldn't let it go, following Xiang Bubu closely into the steam.

The three Caveman guards just entered the edge of the steam when a long knife stabbed from the steam.

*Pfft. *

A Caveman guard was directly pierced through the throat. After the attack, Su Xiao retreated into the steam immediately.

An unexpected situation occurred: a steel nail hammer was thrown by a Caveman guard, whistling toward Su Xiao.

*Bang. *

The tip of the nail hammer smashed into Su Xiao's chest. He staggered a few steps and almost fell. A sweet and fishy taste rushed to his throat. The position smashed on his chest appeared numb and quickly swelled. After the numbness, severe pain appeared, and his chest felt like it had been pressed by a large stone.

Pressing his chest lightly, Su Xiao gasped in pain. Although his ribs weren't broken, a bone crack was certain.

The three Caveman guards entered the steam, and Su Xiao endured the pain to meet them.

In the white steam, the three Caveman guards probed to find Su Xiao.

Su Xiao would slash a knife when finding the opportunity, targeting the Caveman guard who had empty hands.

The Caveman guards' line of sight was blocked, and they would occasionally be hit by a knife, which made the three Caveman guards exceptionally angry, swinging the nail hammers in their hands wildly.

*Bang. *

A muffled sound came. It was a Caveman guard swinging a nail hammer and smashing it on another Caveman guard's head.

The smashed Caveman guard shook his head, blood flowing from his head, and his skull even appeared slightly collapsed.

"Oubutata... (Unknown language)."

"Qiqiqikamen... (Unknown language)"

The two Caveman guards exchanged a few sentences with unfriendly tones. In the end, their voices got louder and louder, and they began to quarrel.

That Caveman guard without a weapon opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to persuade them to stop fighting, but a nail hammer smashed on his nose, blood splashing, and his face was covered in flowers.

The two Caveman guards actually began to fight internally. That Caveman guard who was hit by a nail hammer for no reason stood on the side aggrieved, while also being vigilant about the surroundings.

Su Xiao couldn't miss this kind of good opportunity, slashing at the Caveman guard without a weapon.

Three minutes later, the battle ended, and that Caveman guard without a weapon was slashed off his head.

The remaining two Caveman guards were still fighting in the steam. The battle was very tragic, with nail hammers greeting each other's heads.

Cavemen's IQ wasn't low, but their personalities were exceptionally cruel, and they would even eat injured peers, which was rare among intelligent creatures.

Su Xiao didn't disturb the battle between the two Caveman guards. This kind of good thing of sitting back and reaping the benefits was the first time he had encountered it.

Five minutes later, the heads of the two Caveman guards were a bit deformed, covered in blood, but even so, they were still swinging the nail hammers in their hands with force, which showed how cruel this creature was.

The timing was just right, Su Xiao appeared. He didn't spend much effort to solve the two Caveman guards.

Su Xiao chose "V-type alchemy virus resistance" for the rewards of the three Caveman guards. In this way, his resistance reached 20%.

Su Xiao tried to kill a Caveman laborer, but there was no reward, not even an increase in mana.

Checking the records, it turned out that the talent ability 【Soul Eater】 had already increased by 100 points of mana, reaching the upper limit of a single derived world. At present, Su Xiao's mana was as high as 573 points. ===== CHAPTER 253 =====
