164: Destroy!

Boom!

Shen Bei stomped his foot heavily, and the soft earth within a ten-meter radius exploded, sending shattered leaves and dirt flying.

Propelled by the fierce thrust of his legs, Shen Bei once again shot towards the pursuing Black Bat Giant Beast larvae like a falling star!

"Screech!"

It clearly sensed a stronger threat from Shen Bei.

It was that kind of raging ferocity, a desperate counterattack from someone who had seemingly lost all fighting power.

The Black Bat's ugly, malicious eyes clearly showed panic; it seemed to want to change direction and escape.

However, Shen Bei's speed after taking the Medicinal Pill was even faster, leaving afterimages in the air!

In the next instant, he arrived before it with an unparalleled oppressive force!

Boom!

A silver-glowing fist erupted like thunder, striking first, instantly smashing into the Black Bat Giant Beast's face before it could even react to the wild lunge!

Before it could even let out a shriek or a roar, the Vicious Beast's head exploded like fireworks, flesh and blood splattering and showering down!

Thump.

A thunderous sound echoed through the forest; the Black Bat's headless corpse was thrown high like a rag doll, then fell to the ground.

Dark black blood gushed out, corroding the earth. The Black Bat, which had nearly killed Shen Bei, lay motionless, completely silent.

The swampy forest instantly returned to peace.

Staring at the Black Bat's corpse, Shen Bei remained cautious. To prevent it from playing dead, he casually broke off a dry branch beside him and hurled it like a spear at the Black Bat's headless body.

With a 'chi' sound, the broken branch pierced the Black Bat's wound, but no movement occurred.

Confirming that the Black Bat was completely dead.

Shen Bei slumped to the ground.

It could be said that the Super Adrenaline once again saved his life.

The Black Bat's steel needle carried corrosive venom.

Even with his 90% poison resistance, he almost couldn't withstand it.

The potency of the venom was evident.

As expected of a juvenile Black Bat Giant Beast.

He almost crashed!

After catching his breath, Shen Bei looked at the Zha Tian Gang Four-person Group on the periphery.

They were in worse shape.

Although they didn't suffer many steel needle attacks.

The venom was still eroding their nerves.

At this moment, they were like zombies, lying on the ground, twitching all over.

Foaming at the mouth.

Niu Yanben even seemed to have swallowed a belly full of laundry detergent, spitting out a large bubble from his mouth.

Shen Bei stood up, rummaged through their bodies for detoxifying Medicinal Pills, popped one into each of their mouths, pinched their throats, and made them swallow.

Shen Bei also swallowed a detoxifying Medicinal Pill, then lay down beside them, waiting for the side effects to hit.

The only comforting thing was that this area of the swampy deadwood forest was rarely approached by Martial Artists or Stranger (superhumans).

If it weren't to bypass Qianlin City, Shen Bei and his group wouldn't have appeared here.

There was no need to worry about being attacked by others or having their efforts stolen.

...

By the time Shen Bei woke up.

It was already dark.

The Zha Tian Gang Four-person Group were not in any life-threatening danger.

But their limbs were still not agile, and they swayed when they stood up, feeling sore and nauseous all over.

Their condition was much worse than Shen Bei's.

"How come I feel like I fell into my fourth aunt's sauerkraut jar? I feel uncomfortable all over."

Du Ziteng leaned against a tree, vomited with a 'wah' sound, wiped his mouth, and mumbled.

Niu Yanben stumbled a few steps, like the neighboring Old Man Wu who was drunk and had a cerebral thrombosis, and fell to the ground with a 'thump'.

Liao Zhongyang and Qi Chuanyu weren't much better.

They groaned and couldn't stand steadily.

Shen Bei propped himself up: "Don't move around. I'll tie you to the tree branches so you can continue to rest."

Traveling at night was out of the question.

They could only rest where they were.

Qi Chuanyu shook his head, seeing double images of Shen Bei, and rubbed his eyes: "Is the Black Bat dead?"

"Of course. If I'm alive, it's naturally dead."

Shen Bei took out a sleeping bag, put Qi Chuanyu inside, chose a large tree, hoisted him up, and tied him with a rope to prevent him from falling while sleeping.

"Although you almost got me killed, you're awesome."

Qi Chuanyu's head was dizzy; he said a sentence, tilted his head, and fell asleep.

When it was Niu Yanben's turn to go up the tree.

He waved his hand: "I'm fine. I can go up by myself."

Shen Bei looked at him in surprise as he hugged the big tree, and with a 'poof' sound from his crotch.

A huge recoil pushed him upwards, landing him on a tree branch.

Shen Bei gave him a thumbs up.

After settling all four members of the Zha Tian Gang.

Shen Bei returned to the small clearing not far away.

He took out his military shovel, dug a pit, and buried the Black Bat.

One, he was afraid that Martial Artists passing by would snatch it.

Two, he was afraid that other Vicious Beasts would wander in and carry it away.

Shen Bei naturally couldn't run around with this corpse.

He could only wait until he returned to retrieve it.

...

The night passed very peacefully.

The next day.

Everyone's physical condition had mostly recovered, and they could continue their journey.

After eating high-energy compressed biscuits, they all went to the side to relieve themselves.

At first, their urine was dark green, which gave them a fright.

They thought their underwear was bleeding.

Fortunately, this phenomenon only lasted for a second.

After that, their urine was relatively normal.

"Sigh."

Du Ziteng, who was originally standing next to Shen Bei, glanced at Shen Bei's 'equipment' as he relieved himself, then moved a few steps away from Shen Bei.

Shen Bei: ???

Qi Chuanyu snorted and also moved away from Shen Bei.

Shen Bei: ???

"No, is it really necessary to be so self-conscious?" Shen Bei asked, pulling up his pants.

Qi Chuanyu shivered, zipped up his fly, and muttered: "Pervert."

Du Ziteng rolled his eyes: "He's probably worth two of us."

Shen Bei said in an educational and comforting tone: "As long as it's enough. If you guys need help, I can assist you, without hesitation, absolutely no refusal!"

This sentence almost made them half-dead with anger.

You, Shen Bei, have enough.

Are you saying we don't have enough?

Do we really need your help for such a thing?

So annoying!

Their mood was not beautiful.

...

The Zha Tian Gang once again began to trek through the swampy deadwood forest in the underground cave.

On the way.

Niu Yanben kept asking how Shen Bei had killed the juvenile Black Bat yesterday.

After all, at that time, the Four-person Group had completely lost consciousness after being blasted with steel needles by the Black Bat.

If Shen Bei hadn't administered the detoxifying Medicinal Pills in time, they would probably have already fallen into their great-grandmother's arms, recounting their troubles over the years.

Shen Bei's description was also very artistic.

Something about a left hook, a right punch.

A barrage of quick punches that left the Black Bat disoriented.

He didn't mention taking any Medicinal Pills at all.

It was all about being brave, invincible, and having a tall image.

"I'm not bragging, but a Black Bat of this level, even if I let it grow for a few more years, it wouldn't be my opponent."

Shen Bei really wasn't bragging.

If the Black Bat grew for a few years, Shen Bei would also grow.

No problem!

But to the others, it sounded like: Wow, Shen Bei is so awesome, he can even solo an Eighth-Rank Black Bat Giant Beast!

"Follow me, and I guarantee you'll die—"

Hiss!

Shen Bei hadn't finished speaking when, about three to five meters to his right, a terrifying Iron Wire Nematomorpha, nearly half a meter thick in diameter, shot out of the mud like lightning, like an arrow leaving the bowstring. Its mouthparts, which occupied most of its head, expanded to their limit, biting down at Shen Bei's head!

A fishy wind (foul wind) blew in their faces, and the rows of sharp teeth in the long worm's mouthparts rotated, leaving no doubt that any flesh and blood would be instantly crushed by it.

However, Shen Bei showed no panic, as if he had anticipated it. While still bragging:

"Follow me, and I guarantee you won't die."

He clenched his five fingers, bent his body, twisted his waist, and threw a thunderous punch!

Boom!

The sound of Qi exploding, flesh tearing, and violent wind all erupted at the same time.

Shen Bei's cannonball-like punch directly hit the Iron Wire Nematomorpha's biting head, instantly blowing off its upper body!

The fierce Qi swept in all directions, causing the branches and leaves within about ten meters to shake wildly, and countless withered leaves swirled into the sky!

With a 'thump'.

The Iron Wire Nematomorpha's headless corpse fell to the ground, its massive, barrel-thick body twisting and twitching wildly on the ground, showing its powerful vitality.

However, Shen Bei's brutal and pure violence had already become commonplace for the Zha Tian Gang and others, to the point of numbness; it only made their eyelids twitch slightly.

"Let's go."

With one punch, he violently killed this ambushing Iron Wire Nematomorpha. Shen Bei acted as if he had done something insignificant, turned his head to signal, and continued to lead the Zha Tian Gang Four-person Group towards the northwest.

...

Another day passed.

The Zha Tian Gang finally emerged from the swampy deadwood forest.

Shen Bei compared the map.

Now, the straight-line distance to Qianlin City was only 10 kilometers.

But it was estimated that they still had to go another 30 kilometers in a circle to officially reach the designated location in the big mountain.

Shen Bei took a deep breath: "We should reach the big mountain tomorrow."

Qi Chuanyu asked: "But how do we cross the big mountain? Sliding across is not realistic."

Shen Bei smiled mysteriously and said: "Then tell me, how did the person who drew this map get across?"

"Does that even need to be said?" Du Ziteng interjected: "It's probably a Ninth-Rank Great Power or a Martial God who just walked straight through."

Shen Bei shrugged his shoulders: "If I knew such an expert, I would have clung to their thigh a long time ago."

"Then what do you mean?" Niu Yanben asked, tilting his head.

Shen Bei put away the map and said with a serious expression: "You might not believe it, but the person who owned this map before it fell into my hands was a Third-Rank Martial Artist."

As soon as these words came out.

The eyes of the Zha Tian Gang Four-person Group nearly popped out!

They didn't care how Shen Bei obtained the map.

There was no point in digging for details, and Shen Bei wouldn't tell them anyway.

But that big mountain was clearly marked with Eighth-Rank Vicious Beasts everywhere, yet a Third-Rank Martial Artist went through it?

"I feel like I'm capable again." Du Ziteng straightened his back. If a Third-Rank could do it, what's so bad about me, a Second-Rank!

Qi Chuanyu rolled his eyes: "You, the pathfinder, stay at the back."

Du Ziteng: ...

Shen Bei waved his hand: "Let's go! By this time tomorrow, we need to be at the foot of the big mountain!"

"Depart!"
