Chapter 728: Matkuna Soldiers ( 2 )
The water blades spun at high speed, making them sharper than any blade. As they flew through the zombie cockroaches, black blood splashed onto the ground.
While Jiao Lizhi was killing several level three zombie cockroaches, she heard a warning echo in her head.
"WARNING! 20 Matkuna soldiers are approaching at high speed."
Before the mechanical voice fell silent, a series of high-pitched chirping and clicking sounds were heard nearby.
Jiao Lizhi glanced at the mini-map on her glasses. As she turned around, she raised her hand, and the next moment, an ice shield appeared in front of her.
Splat! Hissshhh!
The ice shield blocked several streams of green liquid. The moment the liquid touched the ice shield, steam rose as the ice began to melt.
Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi leaped backward and waved her hands. Several ice spears flew toward the incoming Matkuna soldiers at high speed.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The sound of metal colliding echoed through the area as the ice spears shattered. When the Matkuna soldiers raised their heads, they stared at her with their many eyes.
Looking at the countless pairs of eyes in front of her, Jiao Lizhi’s arms were covered with goosebumps.
She recalled how strong these Matkuna soldiers were in her first life. Standing 20 meters away from them, she said, "Lowly bugs, you have finally decided to stop pretending and reveal your true forms."
Hearing this, one of the Matkuna soldiers opened its mouth and said, "Human, how dare you look down on the Matkuna Race! I will tear you into pieces!" Its voice was harsh, as if sandpaper scraping the woods.
The moment it finished speaking, a massive Zweihänder flew at high speed and pierced the Matkuna soldier’s head.
Crash!
The Matkuna soldiers were stunned by the sudden attack. Before they could react, a small figure appeared above them.
Reaching out, Du Beiye grabbed the Zweihänder and, using the momentum and gravity, split the Matkuna soldier in half.
Crash! Crack! Crack! Crash!
Green liquid spurted out and landed on the ground, making a sizzling sound.
The moment she landed, Du Beiye bent her knees and dashed toward the nearest Matkuna soldier. Seeing this, the remaining soldiers raised their limbs.
Their limbs were stronger than metal and sharper than blades. As the tips glistened under the red moonlight, they swung their limbs, aiming at Du Beiye.
Noticing their intentions, Jiao Lizhi raised her hand, and several ice shields appeared in front of them, blocking their attacks.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
This time, she imbued more energy into the ice shields. The moment the Matkuna soldiers’ limbs pierced the shields, they were stuck. As they tried to pull back, layers of ice spread from the shields and covered their limbs.
The frost expanded rapidly, creeping toward their bodies. In an instant, their survival instincts kicked in, and using their remaining limbs, they severed the frozen ones.
Another series of shrill, piercing sounds echoed through the area.
Finding an opening, Du Beiye didn’t waste time and said, "Krayan, activate speed mode."
The next moment, a soft blue light enveloped her body, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the spot.
Standing not far away, Jiao Lizhi could only track her movements using the mini-map. The white dot was moving too fast for her eyes to follow.
In less than 10 seconds, Du Beiye reappeared, standing five meters away from the Matkuna soldiers with her back facing them. The next moment, green liquid spurted out like fountains as their bodies were torn into pieces.
Crash!
Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi walked over and asked, "Beiye, are you okay?"
Du Beiye nodded. "Sister, I’m fine. But I need more sthanam crystals."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi waved her hand. The next moment, a pile of sthanam crystals appeared in front of her. Each crystal was more than 30 cm long and 10 cm thick.
Looking at the black crystals, Du Beiye’s eyes lit up instantly.
Back on their home planet, this pile was more than enough for her to live like an overlord without working for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, these crystals were worth nothing here.
Despite her distraction, the two of them heard another warning from Gaia and Krayan.
"Matkuna soldiers are detected! 200 meters before contact!"
Hearing this, Du Beiye quickly stored the sthanam crystals into her inventory and said, "Sister, we can’t let them reach the base. Our members aren’t strong enough to face them."
Jiao Lizhi nodded and asked, "Gaia, is there a way to lure them away?"
"Host, the Matkuna Race’s favorite food is sugar, starches, and fat."
The moment she heard this, Jiao Lizhi understood Gaia’s meaning. "Fat? No wonder they love eating humans!" Jiao Lizhi narrowed her eyes. Turning to her sister, she added, "Beiye, let’s go!"
The two dashed in another direction. When they spotted the Matkuna soldiers in the distance, Jiao Lizhi took out several blocks of solid lard extracted from mutant pork.
Compared to ordinary pork, mutant pork contained energy beneficial for the ability-users.
Since the mutant pigs fed on grass grown in her space and drank pond water, the energy contained in their bodies was far greater than that of mutant pork found outside.
The moment she took out the lard, the Matkuna soldiers noticed it immediately. Driven by instinct, they changed direction and chased after Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye.
Seeing this, the two exchanged glances and increased their speeds as they ran farther away from the base.
At the same time, Jin Xuyan realized that his fiancée was nowhere to be seen. He scanned the area before spotting her and Du Beiye running north, chased by a massive group of zombie cockroaches.
With a swing of his longsword, a massive fire blade flew toward the zombie cockroaches around him.
BOOM!
The explosion wiped out a large group, instantly clearing an area of 100 square meters. At the same time, black flames spread the moment the remaining zombie cockroaches touched them, turning them into ashes.
Fearing something might happen to his fiancée, Jin Xuyan rushed in the direction they had gone.
When Qin Luzi saw this, he shouted, "Captain, the level six zombie cockroach is in the north!"
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan’s heart sank. The direction his fiancée and Du Beiye had gone was north!
