267: Chapter 248: Charge 267: Chapter 248: Charge “Boom!” The massive stone pillar, more than three meters tall, swept across with astonishing speed. A doll blocking the way was directly swept away. Clearing the way ahead of Lu Ping’an was Guan Xinxian, who was “not adept at fighting!” After the “Panlong Lake incident,” he seriously reflected on the importance of combat power and developed this fighting strategy. “Boom!” The black bowling ball thrown was like a cannonball fired from a cannon… and he still had a whole bag of them. The extra-thick protective gear was a heavy version that normal people would not choose, but it offered formidable defense. As for the rest, he simply adjusts the weight of his “weapons” and “throwing items,” transferring the weight to his opponents. If he were up against a true veteran, this crude and wide-open fighting style would be full of flaws… but he was only facing a group of “beasts” with fighting instincts. “He can’t control them precisely; if he could, there would be no need for him to die and reassemble.” Humanoid creatures that rely entirely on fighting instincts are instantly sent flying in a beautiful home run by the “baseball bat” and then disintegrate in midair. Guan Xinxian, going all out, transforms into a heavy bulldozer and blindly charges forward. At this moment, he demonstrates his capabilities beyond saving lives… the perfect application of the “weight reduction” ability. In the end, the Protection system and the Binding system are two sides of the same coin. The essence of these Abnormal Abilities is to modify the physical constants/properties/features of an object through contact with its surface using rule-like forces. When it sticks to oneself for enhancement, it is protection; when it sticks to the opponent for debilitation, it is binding… Some even call it the “Adhesion System” or “Enchantment System.” “… In 0.17 seconds, he completed the readjustment of gravity. This kid has a bright future. He must have practiced the basics tens of thousands of times each year.” The big cat praised Guan Xinxian highly, but Lu Ping’an didn’t quite understand. “The Protection system requires a medium to take effect, often a certain ‘rune.’ Some are strong and cannot be hidden, like Xia Qin. He seems to be rune-based too, but he hides them well. To train his abilities to be like second nature and easily control weight is another path.” Different abilities have their own advantages, but some elements are universal. “His speed at ‘adhering’ is much faster than Xia Qin’s (each of her runes takes at least 0.3 seconds). Actually, he also needs an extra adjustment action (gravity parameter adjustment), so he should be slower than Xia Qin. In terms of cultivating Talent Abilities, Xia Qin is far inferior to him.” “Oh, so he’s very powerful?” Lu Ping’an really didn’t understand the Protection system. “His foundation is solid, but in order to transform it into combat power, he needs more professions, combat skills, equipment, and awareness… Awareness might not be necessary, but he needs to be willing to develop in that direction.” Watching Brother Guan’s wild charge ahead, Lu Ping’an figured he didn’t need to say anything… After going through all these events, one would inevitably consider the necessity of combat power. In chaotic times, you can choose not to use force, but you can’t afford not to have it. The reckless bulldozer charged forward, the huge stone pillar more than three meters tall swung like a small stick, and more and more “baseballs” were knocked into the sky. With the big cat’s guidance, Lu Ping’an noticed that Guan Xinxian’s hands were always spread open like a palm, as if there were a seal in the center of his palm, casually touching the target object. His grip on the stone pillar was also odd; his open palm barely held it, but the heavy object seemed to be stuck to it. Unlike Xia Qin, who has a limit to the number of objects she can manipulate simultaneously, it seems that he has no such limit, but the farther away the object, the weaker the effect… Compared to the binding system that weakens opponents at a distance, he is a more pure protection system. “Boom!” Guan Xinxian, wearing the ultra-heavy protective gear that turned him into a cannonball, directly crashed through a giant fish-headed monster… “It seems that Jia Yi has realized his dream of growing taller, and Brother Guan has also achieved his dream of a triple kill. This round, it’s a win-win situation!” Lu Ping’an hummed a tune, swung his war scythe lightly, and repelled the humanoid creatures approaching the flank. He was in a good mood… In this chaotic battlefield with enemies on all sides, a skill-focused person like him was indeed inferior to Brother Guan, who could transform into a road roller. His main focus was still on “marking.” “Trying to sneak attack? It’s you.” Lu Ping’an’s “Hostility Marker” had a range of less than ten meters, but it was enough in this kind of battlefield. When he chose a high-threat target, sky-high suspension ropes would suddenly attack. Most humanoid dolls are not constantly on guard against the sky. Those who can’t defend in time are directly hanged and lifted into the sky, while others… “Tsk, dodged it again…” However, unlike when capturing beast swarms, when the success rate of his Blood Feast Magic Vine’s attacks was high, the humanoid combat dolls had excellent fighting instincts, and the success rate of his attacks was not high. “… So, let’s make up for it with quantity instead.” Several marks were directly applied, and when more than twenty tentacles appeared at the same time, the unlucky creature had nowhere to dodge and was directly dragged into the air, forcibly dismembered. The two-person team charged forward at high speed. Guan Xinxian was in charge of clearing the way and eliminating the ordinary soldiers who rushed up. Lu Ping’an defended the flanks and rear with his war scythe, while using the Hostility Marker and Redemption combo to eliminate high-risk targets among the humanoid creatures. In such a battlefield where every creature had Life Perception, two warriors who maintained Life Perception didn’t have any blind spots. At this moment, Lu Ping’an’s “War Memory” was growing crazily, providing him with better battlefield intuition and decisions. They weren’t recklessly charging head-on, as being swarmed by hundreds of humanoid dolls would be too dangerous, but these mindless creatures could be avoided or bypassed. “There’s a suspicious third-tier ahead…” “Left 35 degrees, two noobs. Let’s swerve and head that way.” They chose the path and locked onto the greatest target in their path, the constantly active super life source. “Boom!” But with the explosion, new attackers had arrived. It was a bat more than a meter tall, with black blood flowing around it, and its face, which was both human and bat-like, was twisted and full of pain. On its cheeks, a small face was speaking alluring words, its bewildered beastly pupils staring tightly at Lu Ping’an. “Buzz!” The floating bat suddenly flapped its wings, black blood falling like meteorites, but in the process of penetrating through, it twisted into deadly spiral nails like gelatinous. “Boom!” The first wave of attack was dodged by both of them, but holes had already appeared in the ground, where the nails were directly driven into the earth. “…If we get hit, we’re done.” At this moment, it was undoubtedly somewhat beyond expectations. These two Magic Monsters were naturally War Beasts created by the Sophist using the leftovers from “Gourmet” as raw materials. But “Gourmet” is a logistics consumption-based Battle-profession, and without “food”, they are nothing… Even if they use other puppets as snacks, the benefits provided are extremely limited. From the multi-handed muscle monster that has been fighting with Xia Qin from behind, its combat power is incomparable to before and far inferior to normal high-level ones. But now, just these blood-formed deadly spiral nails are no longer something low-level professionals can resist. “That guy is from the Blood Feast, he has food supplies stored in his body everywhere, and usually has a lot of reserves in his body…” Even knowing the answer, it feels very subtle. In the sky, this time there were as many as thirty nails, completely incomparable to the three or four in the previous round. “Boom!” As the black rain fell, a tall, white figure stood up. He raised both palms, and a faint black light condensed in them, the surrounding air completely solidified, with blood nails embedded in it. “Pop!” In a moment of clapping hands, the blood nails directly flew back! “Roar!” One blood nail pierced through the Magic Bat’s bloody wings, a large amount of black blood spilled out, and it kept screaming in pain. The young man in the Protection suit was sweating profusely, but only silently looked at the beast in the sky. “Move on…” Without a doubt, this is the right choice, someone must hold back this beast that is beyond expectation. And Guan Xinxian, who has the ability of gravity, is obviously the best choice. “I refuse.” But this time, Lu Ping’an rejected it. Unlike the previous muscle monsters, the strength of this bat was probably at least fifth-tier Beast level… As a warrior, Guan Xinxian was far less experienced in combat than Xia Qin who had battled again and again. Even if Brother Guan could hold back, it would be at the cost of his life. The man with arms outstretched was ready to give it his all, but Lu Ping’an didn’t want victory like this. “Fang Wen, get out here. If you pretend to be dead again, I’ll stuff this thing into these monsters’ mouths.” Lu Ping’an’s furious roar, however, was directed at his right hand… Could his arm actually respond to him? “Squeak… Squeak… When did you find out…” It really did respond. From the right arm’s power armguard came the familiar synthesized sound, its uneasiness and panic overflowing. Lu Ping’an didn’t say the honest answer “from the beginning”, because the other party was a greedy rascal, he just coldly threatened. “3, 2…” “Boom!” The next moment, a violent explosion unfolded in the sky, the Magic Bat’s back was blown open, and the silver assailant in the clouds appeared again. “Keep him alive, our cooperation can still work.” The simpler you speak to such an indecisive idiot, the better, let her struggle and savor it on her own. Lu Ping’an took one last look at Guan Xinxian, who nodded silently, and Lu Ping’an approved it. With Fang Wen’s help and Guan Xinxian, it shouldn’t be too difficult to hold back this Magic Monster. Lu Ping’an turned his head and walked calmly forward. The final Life Mother Tree and the “Sophist” fused with it were waiting for Lu Ping’an in front. The young man smiled, finally, it had come to this moment. “It’s time to end it all, end the headwind that fate has given to me, Lu Ping’an.”
