The Return of Cambrian Period Chapter 113 Part 1

Chapter 113: Puppet Jade Part 1

With Cheng Tianbi’s current speed, he could easily match the speed mutant. He chased Yi Nan for more than two hundred meters, and just as he saw a white fox tail flash by, he pulled his feet and continued to pursue. Just as he passed a corner, a large group of things lunged at him, appearing black and extremely eerie.

He fixed his gaze and saw centipedes, hundreds of them, ranging in size from small ones the thickness of a finger to larger ones the size of a human arm. Their black bodies and rows of fine legs waving in the wind sent shivers down his spine. He extended his hands, and immediately, a whirlwind with a diameter of over one meter formed in front of him. He drew a circle in front of his chest, causing the whirlwind to twist and engulf all the centipedes. In the next second, the whirlwind suddenly changed its direction by 180 degrees, crushing most of the centipedes caught within it.

As the smaller centipedes fell to the ground, a two-meter-long giant centipede descended from above. It was the largest arthropod that Chen Tianbi had encountered so far. With its numerous pairs of legs moving in coordination with its segmented body, it moved at incredible speed. The front part of its body had evolved into long, sharp, and hooked poisonous limbs, each measuring over forty centimeters. The hooks glimmered with a dark shine, concealing an unknown amount of venom.

Chen Tianbi pulled out his pistol and fired at the centipede’s chest, but its once-vulnerable body had now evolved into a tough exoskeleton, rendering the bullets ineffective.

Abandoning the pistol, Chen Tianbi wielded invisible wind blades, fiercely slashing at the centipede.

Despite its hardened carapace, the centipede’s body was incredibly agile due to its nature as an arthropod. It easily contorted its form to evade the attack, causing the wind blades to only scrape off a segment of its carapace.

Raising his hand, Chen Tianbi threatened Yi Nan’s life with a sharp object, and even though Yi Nan couldn’t see it he felt it. 

Coldly, Chen Tianbi stated, “I don’t need to deal with twenty or thirty people. I only need to handle you. Hand over the puppet jade.”

With blood smearing his eyes, and his face in a dreadful state, Deng Xiao stared at his opponent.

Both of them were in a terrible state, but Deng Xiao’s powerful defense clearly gave him the upper hand. If not for his entire body being covered in thick, wrinkled skin, his opponent’s skeletons, which could easily extend and retract from his skin at any time, would have already pierced him. Even so, he had multiple bloody wounds, fortunately, none of them were fatal.

Comparatively, the skeleton man’s attacks were indeed powerful, but the parts of his body without bone coverage were still ordinary human skin. At first, the skeleton mutant thought the guy was a complete idiot, but then he realized that the guy wasn’t as dumb as he imagined. The man specifically targeted his joints and cartilage, preventing him from extending his bones for defense. Since cartilage tissue was vulnerable to attacks and extending it outside his body would result in severe damage, the skeleton man’s strategy forced him to be more cautious. After being punched and scratched several times, the skeleton man became more careful, especially when it came to Deng Xiao’s incredibly powerful tail.

Deng Xiao tightened and then slowly loosened his fist, confidently stating, “I’ll tell you one thing – you can’t kill me. If you surrender now, I’ll spare your life.”

“You should be the one saying that!” The skeleton man’s two arms immediately transformed into wolf tooth clubs studded with skeletons, and he charged at Deng Xiao with full force.

Deng Xiao leaped onto the wall, his four claws’ suction cups firmly gripping the surface, allowing him to quickly crawl like a gecko. He had recently evolved this technique but hadn’t used it in combat yet. In this limited space, it was perfect for evading attacks.

The skeleton man swung his arm, aiming for Deng Xiao’s face.

Deng Xiao’s large paw firmly caught his wrist. He could only target joints and cartilage to stay safe, as the bone spikes that extended from his skin would otherwise pierce holes in his opponent’s flesh. Even so, Deng Xiao’s skin was pierced at his forearm.

With a muffled groan, Deng Xiao threw a punch towards the man’s ear – the only part with cartilage and dense central nerves.

The skeleton man raised his arm to block, but Deng Xiao’s eyes turned red, and he didn’t retreat. Instead, he moved forward, landing a punch on the skeleton man’s forearm. The sharp bone instantly penetrated his fist, causing blood to gush out. Deng Xiao shouted and used all his strength to push his fist forward. The skeleton man was taken aback and struggled to resist, but he was no match for Deng Xiao’s strength. He quickly withdrew the bone spikes from his arm, but he was still a step too slow. Deng Xiao pushed his arm and accidentally hit his own cheek. The seven or eight finger-long bone spikes that hadn’t fully retracted stabbed into his mouth and ears.

The skeleton man screamed in pain, his arm hanging limply. Half of his face was covered in blood – it was probably the first time he had been wounded by his own bones.

Seeing the opportunity, Deng Xiao quickly swung his tail, aiming for the connection between the skeleton man’s back of the head and neck, and struck hard. Zhuang Yao had once taught him the distribution of human vital points, and the back of the neck was undoubtedly a lethal area. Even if it meant giving up his tail, Deng Xiao was determined to break the man’s spine!

The skeleton man had extensive combat experience and sensed the wind behind him. He immediately understood what kind of attack he was about to face. He covered his entire back, including his head and neck, with bone spikes, curling up like a hedgehog in the most advantageous defensive posture.

Deng Xiao shouted, and his tail, which was over a meter long and thicker than an adult’s waist, slammed into the skeleton man’s neck. The more than ten bone spikes at the neck instantly pierced his skin, but at the same time, the spikes broke from the impact of the powerful tail, which struck his neck like a sledgehammer. The skeleton man didn’t even have time to scream; his entire spine was severed into three sections from the inside, with broken bone fragments piercing his internal organs. Blood gushed from his mouth, and he stopped breathing.

Deng Xiao sat down on the ground, in excruciating pain from the wounds inflicted by the skeleton man. Especially his tail, he looked at the ten-plus bone spikes embedded in it and feared that his tail might be crippled.

He hugged his tail and gripped one bone spike, gritting his teeth. He forcefully pulled it out, “Ah! Ow, it hurts!” Deng Xiao couldn’t bear the pain and yelled. Since he had broken the bone spikes, the bone’s surface had cracked into several pieces, and when he pulled it out, the broken bone edges stuck into his intact skin like splinters, making it even more painful. He could barely hold back the tears.

He didn’t dare to pull out any more bone spikes, so he struggled to support his body and decided to go back to find Cong Xia.

On the other side, Liu Fengyu faced a huge bright red petal with a bunch of bullets embedded in it. Smoke was still emanating from the bullet holes, and the digestive fluid was dissolving the bullet casings and gunpowder, making a buzzing sound.

Behind Zhao Yinrong, the petals vigorously opened and closed, and countless fragrant pollen rushed towards Liu Fengyu.

Liu Fengyu held up a large pool of digestive fluid in his palm and sprinkled it towards Zhao Yinrong. At the same time, a red, foul-smelling gas filled the air and mixed with the pollen. Zhao Yinrong covered her nose with layer after layer of small petals, but the pervasive stench still made her pale.

Liu Fengyu sneered, “Do you think this pollen can deal with me?”

Zhao Yinrong coldly replied, “You haven’t experienced its power yet.” Her two fair arms rapidly waved in the air, causing countless pollen to spread throughout the underground parking lot, almost covering the entire area. Liu Fengyu used the foul gas to shield his entire body, and at the same time, the large petals acted like fans, trying to disperse the pollen. However, the pollen was extremely fine and light, making it nearly impossible to block. Gradually, Liu Fengyu also began to smell a bit of the pleasant fragrance.

He immediately felt his mind becoming dizzy and quickly regained focus, sarcastically thinking that he had never wished so much to only smell the familiar foul odor.

Liu Fengyu couldn’t waste any more time; the pollen had hallucinogenic effects. Unlike him, a purely physically attacking plant humanoid, these flowers were challenging to deal with. He needed to finish the battle quickly; otherwise, he might indeed experience hallucinations.

He retracted the petals and rushed towards the supremely blooming Pink Peony.

Zhao Yinrong had run out of bullets, and her only attack power now was the pollen. But the pollen didn’t work well against Liu Fengyu. At this moment, she was terrified, and she used all her energy to create more pollen, shrouding Liu Fengyu entirely in a pink haze. In the center of the pink haze was a red dense fog, which was the foul gas that Liu Fengyu used to protect himself.

Suddenly, Liu Fengyu felt a tingling sensation on his skin. Initially, it was tiny, but it gradually intensified. Then, his entire body felt as if it was pierced by countless fine needles simultaneously. The pain was amplified infinitely, and Liu Fengyu let out a painful scream.

Pale-faced, Zhao Yinrong stepped back, trying to escape. The stench from Liu Fengyu’s biological weapon also made her suffer.
