Combination
The severed centipede was still nearly three meters long. Watching this enormous worm wriggle around below with its dozens of long legs, and occasionally try to climb upwards, Zhang Xuezhou and Turkalando were filled with horror.
Zhang Xuezhou fired twelve shots with the Infinite Gun, but apart from hitting the severed part of the body, none of his shots penetrated even a weak point.
"Mom, we've encountered a ferocious beast in the Kihar Cave! Quickly bring a hundred paladins to rescue us!"
Turkalando grabbed the communicator and shouted, but when she saw the missing signal indicator on the communicator, her face turned even paler.
What made Tulcarando even more uncomfortable was the unbearable itching all over her body. She hadn't noticed it much when she was running for her life, but when she calmed down, she felt that something was wrong with her whole body, and she almost wanted to take off her clothes and scratch her poisonous blisters to pieces.
Do you have a more powerful gun?
Upon hearing Zhang Xuezhou's words, Turkalando had no choice but to refocus his attention on the centipede.
"I only carried a tranquilizer gun!"
The group came to the Kihar Cave to dig for Soul Jade, so they had a full range of tools for climbing and digging. However, they only carried basic defensive equipment and did not bring any heavy firearms.
"If the pain and itching become unbearable, just use a tranquilizer gun on yourself. We can't escape from here anyway!"
Seeing that Turkalando was suffering from unbearable pain and itching, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to make the worst suggestion, and gave Turkalando another piece of spirit jade to hold.
"You actually found two Soul Jade pieces! It's truly a blessing from the gods," Turkalando gasped.
"Do you mean the Soul Jade was like this when it was first found?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"This is the first time I've seen a newly found Soul Jade. The feeling it evokes is very similar to what those who made offerings described."
Turkalando nodded, and Zhang Xuezhou felt a sharp pain in his liver.
Clearly, the Tuer people have wasted countless precious jade pieces over the years.
The spirit jade may be a rare object formed underground, but it was brought out by the erosion and scouring of the water flowing in the cave.
In the hands of a skilled user, this spiritual jade could be a powerful tool for breaking down barriers between cultivation levels.
Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel sorry for Dong Zhongshu, who ultimately fell into a state of near-collapse due to a lack of resources for breaking through his cultivation level.
His infinite gun was aimed at the centipede, and he fired several more shots as the insect tried to coil around its body and move upwards.
Zhang Xuezhou vaguely sensed that the centipede had become somewhat agitated.
"We can't give you this jade; if we do, we'll be doomed."
The Spiritual Qi energy contained within the jade has a very mysterious effect. It can not only gradually increase Law Power, but also has a certain healing ability, allowing internal and external injuries to heal slowly without the wearer realizing it.
Humans can heal themselves, and so can millipedes.
If the other party could communicate rationally, Zhang Xuezhou would give up a piece of spirit jade to save his life, but when facing such ferocious beasts, no negotiation skills can be of any use.
He had no choice but to fire a burst of bullets as the centipede crawled upwards, trying to buy time and worsen its injuries.
When faced with these creatures without intelligence, humans can obviously use some simple techniques.
Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a few seconds, then gestured to Turkalando. After he tied his head with his clothes, especially covering his ears, Zhang Xuezhou assumed the posture for releasing the Kunpeng Fighting Technique.
Once the power within him was activated, he unleashed the Kunpeng Fighting Technique with a shout.
The collision was brief, but the giant worm let out a sharp hiss and began to writhe uncontrollably below.
Zhang Xuezhou felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"Its voice did indeed contain elements of mental attack!"
The centipede's voice was sharp and piercing, almost deafening when it entered the ear, but what injured him and Ren Anran was clearly not the sound wave, but the mental power mixed in with it.
Zhang Xuezhou reached out and grabbed Lingyu, and the pain from being hit on the head quickly subsided.
I'll grind you down to your death!
Having secured the high ground and possessing the ability to recover, Zhang Xuezhou felt much more at ease.
As long as his genetic power is sufficient, he can continuously unleash the Kunpeng Fighting Technique.
However, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but realize that the power of the Kunpeng Fighting Technique was indeed insufficient. Even with his combination of Mental Strengthening ability and realm technique, the power of this Gene Fighting Technique was still relatively low.
If he were to encounter a ferocious beast in the ruins of Qin Meng, Zhang Xuezhou was quite certain that he would die very quickly.
With the help of this centipede, Zhang Xuezhou also figured out his own position.
"It's trying to run away!"
After unleashing the Kunpeng Fighting Technique three times in succession, the centipede could no longer withstand the blows and began to give up chasing Zhang Xuezhou and the others, instead preparing to wander out of the cave and leave.
This prompted Zhang Xuezhou to call out to Turkalando, signaling the other side to quickly fire the tranquilizer gun to see if they could hold them off.
"Return!"
Turkalando let out a soft cry.
Instead of using the tranquilizer gun, she used the Spiritual Qi ability that she once liked but now feared.
This ability can make people lower their guard, become intimately close, and even completely submissive and obedient.
Turkalando had previously struggled to control the centipede, but after Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly struck it down, she realized she seemed to have gained a bit more control over it.
This prompted her to immediately use her aura to influence the situation.
Zhang Xuezhou saw the centipede, which had already changed direction, slowly turn its head and its long legs slowly move towards them again.
"Here you go!"
Zhang Xuezhou gave a thumbs-up.
As long as Turkalando can hold back the centipede, he will surely be able to destroy its brain after releasing the Kunpeng Fighting Technique multiple times, thus gaining complete safety in the cave.
"You must hold on to her."
Zhang Xuezhou gave a few words of advice, and then stretched his body again.
When he unleashed the Kunpeng Fighting Technique for the fourth time, the giant insect did not retaliate. Instead, it slowly lowered its head, leaving only its long legs scratching wildly at the ground.
"Hey!"
After exhaling and releasing the Kunpeng fighting technique again, Zhang Xuezhou felt he had lost his target.
"Dead?"
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou leap down, Turkalando was still in disbelief.
Although it remains to be verified whether the millipede is a ferocious beast, the fact that she and Zhang Xuezhou managed to kill this giant creature in such a short time was clearly unexpected.
If the centipede is a ferocious beast, then this was something that could only be accomplished by a team of several sixth and Seventh Sequence experts.
Despite some luck, Tulcarando realized that this method of killing seemed to be repeatable.
Given sufficient cover, Zhang Xuezhou's Gene Fighting Technique can damage the beast's brain, while her Spiritual Qi can restrain it, preventing its escape. This would allow them to achieve a true kill, leaving the beast with no chance of escape.
If Turkalandor's Spiritual Qi were stronger, she might even be able to quell the ferocious beast's aggressive desires, thus eliminating the need for special cover for protection.
In the back-and-forth pulling and coordinating, this creature, which even troubles Seventh Sequence experts, could be killed by them more easily.
