954: Bomber, double luck
“Roar!”
Amidst the heavy and deep roar, the swamp beneath Du Xingchen, Wen Xiu Cheng, and Qing Youyu was suddenly replaced by a massive beast's mouth!
“What?!” Wen Xiu Cheng, Qing Youyu, and even Liangcai Sword, who was further back, were stunned.
In this swamp lake, besides the three-thousand-year-old Marsh Python, there were other Giant Beasts!
And this Giant Beast was even stronger, more terrifying, and more cunning!
It suddenly attacked when everyone was relaxed!
Wen Xiu Cheng and Qing Youyu's expressions changed drastically as they watched the Giant Beast's massive maw, spanning dozens of meters, engulf them!
Having just used all their strength, they couldn't transition from a state of exhaustion and relaxation back into combat mode in such a short time!
Just as the two gritted their teeth and prepared to fight to the death, they suddenly saw a black Soul Card, minuscule compared to the Giant Beast's massive mouth, appear in their line of sight.
It was Du Xingchen!
He threw out a Soul Card Equipment!
So that's it. He had already sensed the abnormality here. Was that Soul Card Equipment his preparation for this?!
As the two thought this, the pitch-black Soul Card had already disappeared, and then, they suddenly heard a buzzing sound from above!
They looked up, as if sensing something.
Wen Xiu Cheng and Qing Youyu could only see an indescribable, bizarre-looking flying monster, or rather, machine, appearing from the sky.
This flying Giant Beast was enormous, at least thirty to forty meters in size at a glance!
One must know that a body this large that can still fly in the sky represents a strength of at least twenty thousand years!
As it stirred the dense air currents.
The 'flying monster' suddenly dropped iron lumps that didn't look very powerful towards the swamp below.
This Giant Beast did not directly charge down to attack.
“Is this the power released by the ten-thousand-year Soul Card Equipment that Captain prepared? Why does it look… a bit ordinary?” The silent thoughts echoed in the minds of the four teammates.
Du Xingchen glanced at his teammates.
Of course, he knew what these few were thinking.
In fact, this was not a Soul Card Equipment to begin with.
He had gone to great lengths to reasonably unleash the Soul Card Skill of his Second Martial Soul.
He could only create this facade by relying on Soul Card Equipment.
He wasn't certain if there were other dangers in the swamp.
In an uncertain situation, he would definitely not use a real Soul Card Equipment to test it.
What his teammates saw as Soul Card Equipment were actually the Soul Cards of his Second Martial Soul that he had taken out in advance.
If there were no other dangers, in his teammates' eyes, he would have lost a ten-thousand-year Soul Card Equipment, but in reality, there was no loss at all.
And if there were other dangers, he could also directly use the Soul Card Skill, masked by the Soul Card Equipment.
This was the case now.
This was the first time Du Xingchen had used this Soul Card obtained from the twenty-thousand-year Peng.
This Soul Card directly activated the bomber from the armory of his Second Martial Soul!
Single combat weapons like smoke bombs and grenades were a true dimensionality reduction strike compared to war weapons like bombers!
However, both things were on him, so there was no intention of elevating one and belittling the other, it was just a comparison.
Under everyone's gaze, the first iron lump directly and heavily landed in the mouth of the Giant Beast in the swamp!
The next moment.
“Boom!!”
The dropped bomb exploded instantly, and in the scorching firelight, the energy of the gunpowder was unleashed wildly!
“Roar!” The being hidden in the swamp, which was still planning to devour Du Xingchen and the other two, roared in unbearable pain.
“Boom boom boom!”
The roar of this swamp Giant Beast was just the beginning.
As the subsequent continuous bombing sounds erupted, amidst the flying shell fragments, there was also a lot of the Giant Beast's flesh and blood!
During this time, Du Xingchen didn't just stand there.
He quickly pulled the somewhat stunned Wen Xiu Cheng and Qing Youyu back, returning to the edge of the swamp where Liangcai Sword and the other two were.
Only then were they out of danger.
The muffled explosion sounds were still continuing.
The terrifying commotion even caused other Giant Beasts in this mountain range to flee in panic, and flocks of birds flew away.
After more than a dozen bombs fell, a slightly unhealthy paleness appeared on Du Xingchen's face.
The power of this Soul Card was indeed great, but the consumption was also considerable.
Based on his current foundation, at most he could summon a bomber to drop more than a dozen bombs.
Perhaps he would have to grow to the Supreme level before he could summon a fleet of hundreds or thousands of bombers with a wave of his hand, dropping tens of thousands of bombs on the battlefield.
He discreetly took a pill to restore his Martial Soul power, and Du Xingchen looked at the area where the Giant Beast was with everyone else.
After this bombing, the Giant Beast was surprisingly not dead yet.
However, although it barely survived, its condition was not optimistic.
This was a snake.
But it was somewhat different from the previous Marsh Python.
Its body was even larger, its round body as thick as the outer circumference of a small forest cabin!
The scales belonging to snakes covered its entire body in the form of turtle shells, like armor!
On its head, where inexplicable patterns converged, its two cold eyes were now bloody and mangled.
And looking at its flying flesh and blood, lifted scales, and even broken body, it was already in a state of severe injury and near death!
At this time, it could only rely on the murky swamp, panting heavily.
“This is a ten-thousand-year-level Swamp Giant Serpent!”
After the wind blew away a large amount of thick smoke, everyone also recognized what kind of Giant Beast this was.
The Swamp Giant Serpent was a ten-thousand-year Giant Beast that evolved from the Marsh Python!
It is said that every time this Giant Beast enters a new stage, it can undergo a transformation towards being a Dragon!
If this Swamp Giant Serpent further grew to fifty thousand years, it could be called a Dragon, and at one hundred thousand years, it would be a Dragon!
This is a type of Giant Beast with an extremely high growth potential!
A ten-thousand-year-level Swamp Giant Serpent could completely match Humans Saint Master powerhouses!
“Captain, you didn't just use a twenty-thousand-year Soul Card Equipment, did you?” Liangcai Sword looked at the miserable state of the Swamp Giant Serpent in the distance, clicking his tongue while asking Du Xingchen.
Only a twenty-thousand-year Soul Card Equipment could inflict such heavy damage on the opponent.
Otherwise, a normal ten-thousand-year Soul Card Equipment would at most force the opponent to retreat.
Du Xingchen was noncommittal.
Theoretically, the twenty-thousand-year Soul Card he used at his current level still had a considerable power gap compared to a real twenty-thousand-year Soul Card Equipment, after all, he was still just a Four-Star Soul Card Master.
But the preciousness of his own Soul Card lay in it coming from Peng, a Feathered King!
This type of Giant Beast naturally had a certain restraint over the Swamp Giant Serpent, which belonged to the snake and insect category, similar to water extinguishing fire or fire burning wood.
Therefore, in terms of overall strike, it achieved an effect no less powerful than a twenty-thousand-year Soul Card Equipment!
There was also another reason, which was also the reason why Du Xingchen sensed that something was wrong.
That was the Miasma Corpse Demon Flower!
The growth process of this demonic plant required flesh and blood, and relatively rare biological flesh and blood!
Normally, to allow the Miasma Corpse Demon Flower to grow to the level of a hundred-year-old Giant Beast, the consumption of rare biological flesh and blood must be continuous!
Relying solely on a three-thousand-year-old Marsh Python could not satisfy the Miasma Corpse Demon Flower's appetite!
Even if the Marsh Python offered its own flesh and blood, it wouldn't be enough, and for the Marsh Python to hunt Giant Beasts with rare flesh and blood, its strength wasn't sufficient.
It was for this reason that Du Xingchen deduced the existence of another, more powerful Giant Beast!
The moment he saw the Swamp Giant Serpent, everything became clear.
The Swamp Giant Serpent had been nourishing the Miasma Corpse Demon Flower with its own blood!
And precisely because of this, the strength of this Swamp Giant Serpent was still a level weaker than that of a normal ten-thousand-year Giant Beast.
Whether the result would be as smooth if Du Xingchen used that bomber to deal with Humans Saint Master powerhouses as it was against this Swamp Dragon was another matter.
“A ten-thousand-year-level Swamp Giant Serpent, this can be my fifth Soul Card!” Wen Xiu Cheng looked at the miserable state of the giant python and couldn't help but say.
His words, however, drew three White Eyes from the team.
“No way, Wen Xiu Cheng Boss, when did your standards drop to this level?”
“A Swamp Giant Serpent that has just entered the ten-thousand-year rank can be used as a fifth Soul Card? Isn't that a complete waste of your Soul Card slot?” Liangcai Sword shook his head speechlessly.
Qing Youyu watched calmly, and in silence, seemed to express the same meaning as Liangcai Sword.
Wen Xiu Cheng was left momentarily speechless by the gazes and words of these few people.
Shouldn't it be that the standards of these few people have risen?
A Giant Beast that has just entered the ten-thousand-year level has always been the perfect match for all Five-Star Soul Card Masters.
After all, at this age, it can be perfectly absorbed without the danger of energy overflow and the body being unable to bear it, nor the deficiency of insufficient energy to condense the warrior armor.
Du Xingchen saw this scene and didn't say anything.
He walked into the swamp alone.
After arriving here, he found that besides the initial three-thousand-year-old Marsh Python, there were also many Marsh Pythons of around several hundred to a thousand years old scattered around.
These were blown out of the swamp by the bomber, most of which were already dead, a few were still wriggling their bodies, still retaining vitality, but they wouldn't live much longer either.
He glanced at the immobile Swamp Giant Serpent not far away, and Du Xingchen came to the Marsh Python killed by Wen Xiu Cheng and Qing Youyu, and began refining pills.
The pill fire burned and devoured the corpse and flesh of the Marsh Python. During this process, he also glanced at the center of the swamp lake.
The Miasma Corpse Demon Flower that was originally growing well there was also bombed into scattered debris like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
It was a bit of a pity.
But it wasn't a regret either, after all, that thing wasn't very useful in hand, its main purpose was to be given to the people of the Demon Hall for trade.
The Swamp Giant Serpent cultivated this thing also to prepare for the next stage of transformation.
After another few hundred or a thousand years, if the Swamp Giant Serpent swallowed the Miasma Corpse Demon Flower that had grown to a higher level, there was a considerable possibility that it could transform into a Demonic Dragon.
However, that was only theoretically.
In fact, according to the plot, Jiaolong Valley had already entered a countdown to destruction.
Time was short.
When Du Xingchen finished refining the Beast Tempering Pill, Liangcai Sword and the others were already waiting behind him like little birds waiting to be fed.
This time, he refined a total of thirty pills!
The body of the Marsh Python was indeed not small.
He turned his head and looked at the Swamp Giant Serpent not far away.
This guy was even bigger.
If he refined it into pills, even if they ate until they died, they couldn't finish them all at once, which was a bit of a waste. Most of the pills provided by the Swamp Giant Serpent later could only watch as they expired.
However, besides refining the opponent into Beast Tempering Pills, there was no other use, so waste was unavoidable.
It was impossible to give him the Giant Beast Soul Card that had just entered the ten-thousand-year rank to absorb, under the premise that it could enhance Wen Xiu Cheng's physical strength and in the situation where he could absorb more powerful Soul Cards, right?
Since he was the Captain of this team now, he naturally had to arrange the best for these obedient teammates.
This could also lay a solid foundation for the confrontation with Moyun later and establish stronger prestige.
Du Xingchen did not intend to give up the protagonist group and benefit Moyun in vain, adding to his Luck and pulling back the protagonist's prestige.
In the future, he was destined to block Moyun's attempt to snatch the position of Captain of the protagonist group, in the identity of Wen Xiu Cheng's Captain in the original work.
Now, getting something better for his teammates and tying these people to his side was the correct approach.
“Ding~ Host still has one lottery draw unused, do you want to use the lottery draw?”
Suddenly, the System's voice appeared in Du Xingchen's mind.
This immediately reminded him of the heartbreaking experience not long ago.
“This lottery draw has double Luck.” Ye Tian reminded him in time, anticipating his refusal and directly interrupting his words.
