Chapter 167 Divine Blade
The moment the mutant appeared, Ruan Zilu and the Luo siblings fired simultaneously, as if by prior agreement.
Two of the bullets fired from three directions hit the mutant's body, while the other only grazed its neck.
The mutated creature felt no pain. Despite being shot multiple times, it didn't slow down at all. It charged straight at Xi Yu, the only one who hadn't climbed the tree, its blood-red maw emitting a putrid stench.
"Xiaoyu!!"
"team leader!"
Ruan Zilu and the Luo siblings cried out simultaneously, and then fired their guns in an attempt to stop the mutated species from advancing.
Just as Xi Yu was about to be bitten by the mutated creature, everyone's hearts sank. At the critical moment, a flash of silver light appeared, and Xi Yu, who should have been on the ground, suddenly jumped into the air, with the long sword at her waist already unsheathed.
The mutant missed its target, so it chased after its prey and bit upwards. Xi Yu swiftly swung his longsword forward, slicing off half of its face.
The rotting chunks of flesh were sliced off with a sharp blade, but the mutated creature, now missing half its face, continued its relentless attack.
But Xi Yu was faster. Before it could make its next move, she accurately stabbed it into the brain, then twisted her wrist and slashed dozens of times, cutting the terrifying red writhing brain into pieces, even shattering the blood-red core inside!
The longsword, infused with spiritual power, was as powerful as an energy weapon, easily shattering the diamond-hard core!
Without its core, the mutant reverted to a corpse filled with rotting flesh, and the pungent stench was even more terrifying than before!
Seeing the foul-smelling bits of meat stuck to the long sword, Xi Yu frowned in disgust and quickly picked a few leaves to wipe the blade clean.
The few people still in the tree were stunned. The mutated creature that they couldn't immediately deal with with their guns was instantly reduced to dust in less than ten seconds when it came to Xi Yu!?
And wasn't it said that the mutated species' core was exceptionally hard, and only powerful bullets could penetrate it? Could that weapon be the legendary divine sword?!
"Get down, everyone. We need to leave as soon as possible. The stench of the mutated creatures' corpses will attract other mutated creatures." Xi Yu hung the long sword back on her waist.
The group then jumped down from the tree as if waking from a dream, looking at the pile of rotting flesh on the ground with lingering fear.
Without giving them time to recover, Xi Yu led them to move quickly, only relaxing once she confirmed it was safe.
The journey continued peacefully, and they successfully reached their destination, the swampy area. Unfortunately, after searching for two hours, they still couldn't find the Adoran needed for the mission.
"I'm sorry..." Ruan Zilu felt disappointed and guilty. It was the place she suggested, but she couldn't find it.
"Why are you apologizing? This has nothing to do with you." Luo Youhui plopped down on a large rock.
Luo Zuoling tugged at Ruan Zilu's hand and said softly with a smile, "That's right, just because it's not here doesn't mean it's not in other swamp areas. We'll just look for it again."
Ruan Zilu gave her a grateful smile.
After a busy day, they decided to rest here for a while.
Luo Youhui immediately jumped to Xi Yu's side, his eyes shining as he asked, "Hey, can I borrow your knife to take a look?" He had been eyeing this 'divine knife' for a long time, and had only asked now.
Xi Yu smiled, took off the knife, and tossed it to him.
Luo Youhui held it carefully, as if it were the most precious treasure, and examined it closely.
He quickly realized that the knife was really nothing special. He couldn't tell what the special material of the long knife was, but how could he possibly cut through the core of the mutant with a single blow?
