Chapter 273

A gust of wind with a slightly fishy smell blew past, and a mutant rat darted out from a hole in the ground. This mutant rat was at least the size of a house cat, with a mouth full of fangs and all its fur shed, revealing grey-black skin.

Nuclear radiation caused various organisms to mutate, and the substances released by the Kara Star people when they created their special atmosphere made this situation even more severe.

The beasts that survived the nuclear explosions all had mutations to some degree; frogs the size of houses and rhinoceroses several stories tall were common sights.

These mutant creatures were exceptionally ferocious, and the radiation pollution made their meat inedible; these mutant creatures had become a disaster.

The two most precious things in the wasteland were fresh water and food.

Su Xiao rode Xiang Bubu Te Ni forward, and soon a peculiar creature appeared in his line of sight.

This creature was about two meters tall, covered in silver-white scales, with a lizard-like head, a blood-red gaping maw, and deep yellow pupils that were very cold. This was a Kara Star person, a special existence among the Kara Star people; its Kara language name was 'Tuka'.

99% of Kara Star people had black scales, and this kind of silver-white scaled Kara Star person, namely Tuka, was a high-ranking member of the Kara Star people, similar to human nobility.

"Gu Qi Qi Ba Te Ma... (Unknown language)."

That Kara Star person shouted loudly, but Su Xiao didn't understand a single word. He asked Reincarnation Paradise, but Reincarnation Paradise did not provide a translation function, which made him feel a bit strange.

"So this is a Kara Star person."

The Kara Star person couldn't understand Su Xiao's words either, so Tuka began to make gestures.

Tuka pointed at himself, then pointed at the sky, and finally pointed at his buttocks.

Su Xiao was stunned; what did this mean?

Communication failed, so he could only adopt Plan B, which was to kill—simple and brutal.

Although violence was not the best solution, it was the fastest way.

Jumping down from Xiang Bubu Te Ni's back, Su Xiao walked slowly toward the Kara Star person, and the Kara Star person 'Tuka' became vigilant.

"Ta Du Du! Tuka!"

Tuka roared, and a tentacle the thickness of a chopstick stood up from the back of his head like an antenna, and a wavelength spread to the surroundings.

Su Xiao's footsteps stopped, and his temples throbbed.

【You have received a mental shock. Intelligence attribute judgment is in progress. If the judgment fails, you will fall into a coma.】

【Judgment successful. You are immune to this mental control.】

Although he was immune to the mental control, Su Xiao still felt dizzy. He quickened his pace, and while running, he drew the Checking Zhan Long Shan from his waist, with electric arcs surging on the blade.

Discovering Su Xiao charging head-on, Tuka bared his teeth, his mouth full of sharp fangs, and his large mouth could even open to ninety degrees.

Su Xiao's footsteps became faster and faster, and a few seconds later, he rushed within three meters of the Kara Star person.

What was strange was that the Kara Star person neither attacked nor made any defensive moves, just opened his eyes wide, the area around those dark yellow vertical pupils filled with bloodshot veins.

Tuka's eyes widened to the limit, and a transparent shockwave spread outward.

Boom!

Su Xiao felt as if he had been hit by a hammer head-on; his charging figure stopped, and nosebleed gushed out.

This was a mental shock, and Su Xiao's health points were instantly reduced by more than half.

Tuka clearly did not want to be approached by Su Xiao; the muscles on his two thick legs wrapped in silver scales bulged, and he made a backward jump in place.

Bang.

Two extremely deep footprints appeared on the scorched ground, and Tuka jumped high backward.

As Tuka jumped backward, Su Xiao stumbled forward uncontrollably for a few steps. He pulled his left arm backward, and Tuka in mid-air was pulled down like a kite, with a dozen small wounds appearing on his body, and light green blood gushing out.

"Yi~!"

A shrill scream came; the Kara Star person's cry was very special.

Su Xiao's nosebleed dripped onto the ground, and he endured the physical discomfort, staring coldly at the Kara Star person.

"Mental type, intelligence at least 30 points or more; no wonder he was sent to serve as an adjudicator."

Su Xiao clenched his left fist, and the wire wheel on his crimson armguard tightened; he rushed forward following the momentum.

Tuka fell to the ground with a thud, his body dragged closer to Su Xiao. As the distance got closer, the Boundary Breaking Line sank deeply into his skin and flesh, leaving a patch of light green blood on the ground.

Su Xiao's method could be described as extremely ruthless; the Boundary Breaking Line was exceptionally sturdy, with no possibility of breaking free. The current situation was: either you die or I die.

Tuka screamed in pain, struggling hard, wanting to break free from the restraint of the Boundary Breaking Line, but the more he struggled, the deeper the Boundary Breaking Line tightened. The pain of the Boundary Breaking Line cutting into his skin and flesh made Tuka lose his fighting consciousness; he didn't need to get close to enemies when fighting, and he had never suffered such a severe injury.

Su Xiao smiled coldly; it was true that the opponent's intelligence attribute was high, but his fighting consciousness was trash.

Discovering this point, Su Xiao rushed up without any hesitation. Of course, before rushing toward the enemy, he first activated the shield of 【Mikasa's Heart】 to prevent any accidents.

Rushing to Tuka's front in a few steps, Su Xiao held the blade with a backhand grip and stabbed at Tuka.

At this time, Tuka was wrapped in the Boundary Breaking Line, and slashing would only be asking for trouble.

Puchi.

One blade pierced Tuka's throat, and Tuka's body instantly went stiff, as if a steel plate had been implanted in his body.

One blade pierced the throat, but Su Xiao's movements didn't stop. Tuka struggled harder and harder, showing no signs of dying; it seemed his stamina attribute was not low either.

Pressing down the Checking Zhan Long Shan, Su Xiao intended to cut open Tuka's throat.

Hum~.

Su Xiao's vision blurred suddenly, and he stepped back two steps. He was hit by a mental shock again, and the Checking Zhan Long Shan's newly acquired ability 'Blood-Bathed Fight' was directly activated.

Supreme Blade Effect 2: Blood-Bathed Fight (Passive): When health points are below 50%, stamina +4 (strengthening +6 adds 1 point); when health points are below 30%, stamina +6 (strengthening +6 adds 1 point); when health points are below 20%, stamina +12 (strengthening +6 adds 2 points). (Stamina bonus effect takes the highest value, cannot be stacked, effect lasts for 5 minutes.)

Su Xiao's stamina attribute increased by a staggering 12 points, which meant his health points just now were already below 20%.

With his stamina attribute skyrocketing by 12 points, Su Xiao felt vibrant life within him. His brain, which had been muddled just a moment ago, became clear, his breathing became powerful, and the buzzing in his ears disappeared.

Stamina attribute is a good thing; he must strengthen it when he returns to Reincarnation Paradise this time.

Taking advantage of Su Xiao stepping back, Tuka stood up, his eyes widened to the limit, both eyes seeming about to pop out; he wanted to give Su Xiao a hard hit.

The pain caused by the Green Steel Shadow made Tuka's body tremble non-stop, and his silver scales stood up.

Tuka was strong, very strong, comparable to Su Xiao's strength.

Just as Tuka was about to release an attack, he suddenly discovered a pair of cold eyes staring at him.

Su Xiao changed his previous appearance, standing steadily in place, his left hand tightening the Boundary Breaking Line, and the wire wheel at his wrist was pulled until it made a sizzling sound, even emitting blue smoke.

The Boundary Breaking Line tightened, and this sudden pain interrupted Tuka's attack, and a long blade slashed toward his face.

Puchi.

The Checking Zhan Long Shan sank along Tuka's neck, slashing directly into his chest cavity, and fresh blood sprayed out along the blade cut.

It had to be said that the Kara Star person's body strength was very high; he was actually not cut in two by the Checking Zhan Long Shan in one slash.

The Boundary Breaking Line was tightly gripped in Su Xiao's hand; his left-hand fingers were protected by the crimson armguard so they wouldn't be hurt. He couldn't rely solely on the wire wheel; this Kara Star person's strength attribute was not low, and he might tear the wire wheel apart.

The blade pressed down, and Tuka's face was full of pain, but there was something else in his eyes.

Wrapped by the Boundary Breaking Line, with the enemy's weapon buried in his chest cavity, Tuka knew he was done for.

"Strong... person, ad... mire."

Tuka spoke human language; he only knew how to say these four words.

Su Xiao suddenly discovered that the gaze of this Kara Star person was wrong; he had seen this kind of gaze before—this guy wanted to perish together with him.

Tuka's pupils began to dilate, and in the end, his entire eyes became deep yellow.

An extremely dangerous feeling appeared, but Su Xiao was fearless in the face of danger. Standing on one leg, he lifted his other foot high and stomped hard on the back of the Checking Zhan Long Shan blade.

Puchi.

Light green blood sprayed onto Su Xiao; he cut the Kara Star person into two segments, and the sense of threat receded.

Su Xiao had been fighting the enemy adjudicator for so long without any prompts, which meant Reincarnation Paradise would not stop adjudicators from fighting each other. He just couldn't participate in the war, but that didn't mean he couldn't kill; killing the enemy adjudicator didn't count as participating in the war.

The silver-scaled Tuka died, and a silver crystal dropped from Tuka's corpse.

Su Xiao picked up the Tuka crystal from the ground and learned that this was an item similar to a treasure chest.

This Kara Star person's strength was not weak, and this peculiar treasure chest made Su Xiao very curious.

【You have obtained 'Tuka's Collection'.】

【Your talent 'Soul Eater' has been activated, permanently increasing mana by 15 points; current mana is 628 points.】
