104: Chapter 104 Strange Creatures

Qin Yun stopped his cultivation, stretched, and took a sip of iced coconut juice.

Then, he focused his attention on the depths of his consciousness.

What kind of trait would be born this time?

His requirements weren't high; as long as it was practical, that would do.

Midnight arrived.

The infinite trait crystal deep within his consciousness emitted a purple glow at this moment!

A purple-grade passive trait, Sword Heart Clarity!

Qin Yun revealed an expression of surprise; just by looking at the trait's name, he knew it could increase the speed of his swordsmanship cultivation!

Very good, very practical, and very suitable for him!

The purple light vanished, and the introductory information regarding the Sword Heart Clarity trait was transmitted to him.

It was simple: as long as he equipped this trait, he could enhance his comprehension of the Sword Path, more easily grasp the true essence of swordsmanship, and more easily comprehend related Sword Intent!

He was very much looking forward to the legendary Sword Intent!

Immediately, Qin Yun equipped the Sword Heart Clarity trait, then with a thought, he entered the Virtual Battle Arena within the Virtual World.

"Xiao Qi, give me 100 humanoid fierce beasts that can use swords. Set the environment to Sword Mountain and Sword Pool, and simulate crisscrossing Sword Intent and Sword Qi in the air!"

"Setup complete. The battle will begin in three seconds. Good luck, Master!"

As the battle began, Qin Yun felt the power of the Sword Heart Clarity trait.

His use of the Eight Desolations Wind and Thunder Sword Technique became more proficient, and its power even increased slightly!

Soon, the one hundred humanoid fierce beasts were slain.

Continue!

Every battle environment was set to Sword Mountain and Sword Pool, with crisscrossing Sword Qi and Sword Intent in the air...

The Eight Desolations Wind and Thunder Sword Technique, which had been stuck at the proficiency stage, gradually began to loosen!

Over an hour later, the Eight Desolations Wind and Thunder Sword Technique reached the minor success stage.

Now, even without attaching his Wind-element and Thunder-element Innate Ability, the Sword Qi he swung out could carry Wind and Thunder attributes!

Its cutting power was stronger, and its destructive power was greater too!

He then began to cultivate other sword techniques associated with his other cultivation methods.

The more he learned, the greater the probability of comprehending Sword Intent!

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was 6:10 AM.

At this moment, Qin Yun was sitting in the driver's seat of the recreational vehicle, eating beast meat and millet porridge.

At exactly 6:00 AM, the Highway he was on underwent a new change!

The further the recreational vehicle drove forward, the lower the temperature became!

Currently, the temperature outside the recreational vehicle had dropped to thirteen degrees Celsius.

It didn't seem like much, but the intermediate scanning detector discovered that it had already started snowing on the Highway ahead!

It was similar to when he performed survival missions; only the Highway changed, while there were no other changes outside!

The difference was that there were no translucent light curtains on either side of the Highway, and Qin Yun could control the iron nails to fly outside the Highway and then fly back.

The information obtained by triggering the Eye of Insight trait on the Highway was the same as before, with no changes.

Just then, Qin Xiaoqi's voice rang out: "Master, the scanning detector has discovered a woman lying on the snow on the Highway about 11 kilometers away from the recreational vehicle, and the temperature there is already minus sixty-six degrees!"

She continued, "Xiao Qi thinks that woman is very abnormal!"

Qin Yun looked up at the screen.

She was indeed very abnormal!

Her appearance was decent, but in this frozen world, at minus sixty-six degrees, even boiling water thrown out would freeze rapidly; yet, the other party was only wearing hot pants and a tank top.

The key point was that the skin exposed to the air was not only not purple, but also very rosy.

Either her strength was not weak, or...

Qin Yun concentrated and triggered the Eye of Insight trait.

Weird Creature!

The basic information transmitted was very simple, only stating that the woman lying on the snow was transformed by a Weird Creature!

The suggested advice was that no matter what kind of temptation there was, he must not agree to let the woman board the vehicle, otherwise the energy and spirit of the living beings on the vehicle would gradually be sucked dry by the woman without them even knowing it!

"That woman lying on the snow is a Weird Creature transformed... Xiao Qi, increase the speed of the recreational vehicle, and when the distance is no more than 10 kilometers, use the intermediate energy gathering gun to attack!"

"Xiao Qi has received the order. The intermediate energy gathering gun is aimed at the Weird Creature's head!"

The recreational vehicle gradually accelerated, closing the distance between them.

The large screen in front of Qin Yun split into left, middle, and right sections.

When the distance reduced to 9.99 kilometers, the intermediate energy gathering gun mounted on the front half of the recreational vehicle's roof immediately fired a highly condensed energy beam!

Through the bird's-eye view displayed in the middle section of the screen, Qin Yun saw that the energy beam crossed the distance of nearly ten kilometers in almost the blink of an eye, striking the woman's head!

However, no items dropped!

Was she not dead, or what?

In the image on the left, the woman, whose forehead had been pierced by the energy beam, suddenly opened her eyes, looked toward the location of the recreational vehicle, and then revealed a weird smile!

Black, viscous liquid flowed out from her eyes and mouth, and the teeth in her mouth were jagged...

How weird, she didn't even die after her forehead was pierced!

Qin Yun pointed at the Weird Creature in the left screen, "Xiao Qi, have the intermediate energy gathering gun fire continuously for three seconds. If she still doesn't die, then use the primary thunder cannon and the primary energy gathering cannon to bombard her. Condense the cannonballs first!"

"Master, after the recreational vehicle was upgraded, one cannonball can be condensed in advance, and maintaining it doesn't consume energy. Xiao Qi already condensed them yesterday!"

"Well done. In the future, as long as it's beneficial, just handle it directly; after all, I can't pay attention to everything."

"Mm-hmm, Xiao Qi understands."

While Qin Xiaoqi said this, she didn't forget to control the intermediate energy gathering gun to fire energy beams at the Weird Creature.

Every energy beam hit the Weird Creature's vital parts and successfully pierced through!

But it still couldn't kill her!

The Weird Creature stood up while enduring the energy beams, and one after another, circular holes that one could see through appeared on her body!

From the ping-pong-ball-sized circular holes, viscous black liquid gradually flowed out!

The intermediate energy gathering gun had fired continuously for three seconds, and the Weird Creature, with 16 circular holes on her body, was still not dead!

At this moment, she was walking step by step toward the location of the recreational vehicle!

The primary thunder cannon and the primary energy gathering cannon on the recreational vehicle fired two shells at the Weird Creature at this moment.

Qin Yun watched the image on the screen and began to ponder.

He clearly hadn't sensed any threat from the Weird Creature, so why couldn't he kill her?

Could it be that as long as he didn't agree to let the Weird Creature board the vehicle, there would be no threat?

Existences that could be called Weird Creatures had strange and varied abilities, and some terrifying Calamity-level Weird Creatures even possessed concept-like abilities!

Even so, Weird Creatures were not invincible existences!

As long as the right method was found, Weird Creatures were not difficult to kill!

Qin Yun now really wanted to know if the Lightning Domain generated by the explosion of the Thunder Cannon shell, and the tearing energy generated by the explosion of the Energy Gathering Cannon shell, could kill the Weird Creature walking slowly toward him step by step.
