World-saving Plan: The Only Savior Chapter 552 - 552 429 Human-faced Worm

552: Chapter 429: Human-faced Worm 552: Chapter 429: Human-faced Worm Zhang Xiaoman had attempted to hack the System’s skills before.

However, although he possessed top-tier affinity for Dark Energy, it was unrealistic to expect him to master skills just by watching.

Moreover, often tis, he couldn’t feel any Dark Energy fluctuations with the System’s skills, such as summoning the Star Guard or deploying the Sword Array.

Those skills seed more akin to Magic Scrolls, pre-set and ready for use at the re thought of it.

However, this ti, with the Holy Knight’s move, Zhang Xiaoman truly felt so Dark Energy fluctuations, which clearly differed from those fixed skills.

He guessed that this might be the unique sensation that the Star Shining Saint Knight brought him.

This feeling was different from that of a regular Star Knight, seeming more like a living entity with its own consciousness, capable of using the Dark Energy Formula to combine skills.

“Forget it, I’ll think about this issue when I get back; right now, let’s deal with these two guys first.”

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and once again turned his gaze to the position of the giant insect ahead.

At this mont, nine Star Knights had charged forward and began beating the pinned-down creature, taking advantage of its inability to move.

Pinned to the ground, the giant insect could only take the hits, and soon, it was done for amid the screams.

“Ying wa!”

The remaining insect seed to sense what had happened and imdiately started to flee without hesitation.

Previously, it had fought only two Star Guards so it hadn’t been much injured; now, it ran even faster than the first one, quickly disappearing from Zhang Xiaoman’s Spirit Detection Technique range.

Zhang Xiaoman was not about to let this cooked duck fly away; he imdiately issued commands to his subordinates to chase down the monster.

“Xi lulu!”

As the sounds of warhorses’ neighing erupted, half of the Star Guard pursued, and even a Holy Knight summoned his mount and joined the fray.

The Star Shining Saint Knight also rode a warhorse, but his was larger and, just like its rider, clad in golden armor.

Zhang Xiaoman walked up to the corpse of the giant insect that had already died; this ti he didn’t get too close, and from a distance of 5 ters, he activated the Eye of the Starry Sky’s skill.

Streams of light rose from the body and were all absorbed into the palm of his hand.

There, a Seven-pointed Star pattern was emitting bright light.

“Ding, essence absorption successful, points increased by 35.”

“Ding, unknown new species discovered; would you like to na it?”

The System’s prompt sounded in his ear, and Zhang Xiaoman raised an eyebrow, sowhat surprised that this creature was a new type of monster that had never appeared before.

“Hmm…

I have to na it again…

Well, since it looks like an insect, is so ugly, and even has a human face, let’s just call it ‘human-faced worm’ then.”

“Ding, human-faced worm nad successfully.”

The System’s prompt sounded again, and then there was silence.

“Well, even though I knew you were just having na it, without any special rewards, I still feel a bit let down.”

Zhang Xiaoman silently complained, then took the opportunity to review the two Alien Species he had nad before: the Iron Head Fish he encountered in Seven-star Lake and now this human-faced worm.

Well, looking at it this way, there still seems to be so sense of accomplishnt.

After absorbing the points from the human-faced worm, Zhang Xiaoman stood still and waited; before long, another prompt from the System erged in his mind.

“Ding, essence of the human-faced worm absorbed, points increased by 33.”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded silently to himself; it seed the Star Guards had completed their mission.

After summoning back the minions he had sent out, he continued towards Sheep Village, where this unexpected gain of points had enriched him by 68 in total.

The level of these insects had already reached the Middle Late Stage of the Second Rank; logically, they should have been very powerful.

An ability like this broad-range toxin, if unleashed externally, would certainly be a devastating weapon.

Unfortunately, the world is not full of “ifs,” and these two human-faced worms had the bad luck of encountering him.

With the enhancent of Morning Star’s ability, he was immune to all effects of poisoning.

If anything was to be blad, it was just that the Ultimate Item was too powerful.

Then, as Zhang Xiaoman delved deeper, the number of monsters inside Sheep Village increased significantly.

Compared to the outskirts, he had barely traveled less than two hundred ters before he encountered at least three waves of monster attacks.

From this, it was apparent how fortunate Xu Fei of the Dragon Teeth Team had been to have made it out so smoothly.

However, Zhang Xiaoman’s strength far exceeded Xu Fei’s by an unimaginable margin.

The groups of monsters he encountered were easily dealt with by a charge of a dozen or so Star Guards.

Even with their coordination, the whole team suffered almost no injuries; the scattered alien species were no match at all.

Finally, after eliminating another seven or eight Red Split Dogs, Zhang Xiaoman fully entered the interiors of Sheep Village.

Now, after months of silence, the entire village was in disarray, with signs of disorder everywhere, looking as though it had undergone a major battle.

Zhang Xiaoman passed a small house reduced to ruins, evidently destroyed by artillery fire, which reminded him of the intelligence he had acquired.

Though the Azure Dragon Army couldn’t use electronic devices and so unconventional weapons inside the Mist, this didn’t stop them from dropping conventional explosives from beyond it.

As long as they calculated the landing spots accurately, they could still attack the monsters inside by dropping bombs from high altitude.

However, this bombing wasn’t very aningful.

For one, the area covered by the Mist was vast, and they had no clear idea of the monsters’ exact locations.

Therefore, even with airborne attacks, without precise targets, their effectiveness was quite limited.

After all, there’s not an infinite supply of bombs, and although more could be manufactured, it would also cost a lot of money.

The other and most crucial reason, according to the intelligence, is that the real source is inside a Big Cave a hundred ters underground.

This location is simply unreachable by explosives, unless special tunnelling missiles were used, which are clearly inoperable in this Mist.

So, Zhang Xiaoman’s priority to first eliminate the Fog Hearts is indeed correct.

If not eliminated, the human side would face significant constraints, hardly able to exert even a tenth of their strength; even his high-tech gadgets would be unusable inside.

Looking around at the surroundings, Zhang Xiaoman began to feel a bit of a headache; it was his first visit to Sheep Village, and he simply didn’t know his way around.

Although he had seen many photos of the place before coming, that was before the Mist appeared, and the buildings in Sheep Village were still intact then.

Now, apart from a few buildings lucky enough to remain unaffected, almost everything else was in ruins.

Furthermore, the surrounding Mist limited his field of view, which only added to his headache.
