91: Worm Wasteland - Abundant Harvest of Pupae (Part 6)

“Damn it! Trying to be a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, to me? You're asking for death!”

“And look at your pathetic self! You don't deserve to be the oriole!”

Tang Ping, filled with frustration from fighting the Giant King Worm, raised his hand and launched a Soul Shattering Nail.

The Soul Shattering Nail, enveloped in Red Lotus Demonic Flame, struck directly at the figure on the ground.

Yao Xiaoyue's gaze was icy cold, moonlight descended, carrying an extreme chill! In her hand, a fist-sized moon slowly rotated, rapidly replenishing her Consumption.

That small moon looked very much like some kind of lamp from before the apocalypse.

On the ground, the man whose body was shrouded in a layer of darkness was scared out of his wits!

“How is this possible! How did they discover me?!” The man was terrified, thinking that he was using an A-rank Shelter characteristic!

His Shelter was a black trench coat, which granted him the A-rank Shelter characteristic 'Shadow Concealment'. In dimly lit environments, it offered extremely high stealth capabilities. Not only could it hide the Shelter, but when wearing the shelter item, it could also hide himself!

These two people actually discovered him immediately.

He felt a bit of fear in his heart; he had just witnessed the strength of these two.

If he were caught, he would definitely not have a good end.

He was hesitating whether to continue or leave when suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

His last thought was regret, wondering why he had come when he knew the other party was so strong. His final gaze fell on the fifty doomsday treasure chests at the bottom of the cave, his eyes still filled with greed.

Tang Ping crushed this person as if crushing an ant. As he passed the cave entrance, he casually picked up the other party's Shelter, a black trench coat.

He had originally thought it was some tough character with a bit of strength, but he didn't expect it to be just this. With this much strength, did he dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth in front of them?

He shook the clothes, then put them into his Shelter.

He arrived at the bottom of the cave.

“Fifty treasure chests, half for each of us?” Yao Xiaoyue asked.

“Okay.” Tang Ping nodded and quickly collected twenty-five treasure chests.

Besides the treasure chests, there were also five King Worm pupae on the surrounding rock walls of the cave.

“Five King Worm pupae, two for each of us. For the remaining one, we'll split the pupa fluid half and half,” Tang Ping said.

“No problem.” Yao Xiaoyue nodded. With a wave, moonlight fell on the bloody membrane stuck to the rock wall. The membrane immediately ruptured, and the pupa fell from it.

Tang Ping was much more direct and brutal. His Tang Blade flashed with cold light, and he tore the bloody membrane with one slash, pulling down the entire pupa.

“Second Leader! Look, there's a worm nest here!”

Before he finished speaking, a group of people jumped down from above.

At this moment, Tang Ping and Yao Xiaoyue had just each peeled off one King Worm pupa.

Both of them turned back.

There were more than ten people who came down, and ropes were still hanging down, indicating that there were still people above who hadn't descended.

“It's King Worm pupae! The pupa fluid inside is a sacred healing item!”

“Heaven truly favors me, Xue Fugui!” Xue Fugui, the Second Leader of Yuntian Base, laughed loudly.

His gaze fell on Tang Ping. Seeing the Yuntian Base badge on Tang Ping’s chest, he immediately spoke with an indifferent tone: “Since you are from Yuntian Base, hand over what you’ve obtained here. When we return, I will credit you with a small merit and reward you with ten experience stones.”

Xue Fugui demanded it as if it were his right, as if everything here belonged to him.

His gaze then fell on the woman next to him. Although she wore a mask and her face was unclear, her aura and figure filled Xue Fugui's eyes with lust. This girl, before the apocalypse, must have been some wealthy young lady or a celebrity socialite. In short, no matter what her face looked like, just based on her aura and figure...

“Heh heh.” Xue Fugui involuntarily let out a lewd laugh.

Tang Ping swung his blade, dug out a second King Worm pupa, and put it into his Shelter.

Xue Fugui's face immediately turned cold: “Heh, kid, I'm giving you a chance to live, but you're not taking it. How dare you take something that belongs to this leader?”

A sharp-eyed subordinate with a buzz cut immediately stepped forward, his arms bulging, and his two palms were as big as bowls. He sneered and lunged: “Kid, how dare you take something from our leader!”

The fist wind howled, carrying immense brute force. The buzz-cut subordinate's eyes held confidence; his punch could knock down even a bull. This kid in front of him was clearly from Yuntian Base, but he had no impression of him. He had seen all the D-rank Talent Users and above in the base.

This kid was, at most, a trashy E-rank Talent User. He could… he could… a blade light flashed at a speed invisible to the naked eye!

The buzz-cut subordinate hadn't even felt pain yet when his eyes widened, looking at his fallen fist and the smooth cut at his wrist.

“So much nonsense. Are you in a hurry to die?” Tang Ping held his blade against the other's neck. “Then I'll grant your wish. Go slowly, no farewells.”

The buzz-cut subordinate's head fell off.

It rolled a few times on the ground, and he even saw his Second Leader's lecherous gaze turn to anger.

“Good, good kid, you've got guts.” Xue Fugui's face turned beet red, making him feel very humiliated.

Xue Fugui waved his hand: “You guys, deal with this kid. Take his Shelter. As for the woman, leave her to me.”

“Noisy.” Yao Xiaoyue’s phoenix eyes, like autumn water, showed no emotion. Moonlight fell on Xue Fugui's approaching body.

In an instant, Xue Fugui seemed to be frozen in place.

The surrounding subordinates were stunned. One subordinate stepped forward and poked the Second Leader, puzzled: “Second Leader?”

Crack, crack, crack!

Fine cracks, like shattered porcelain, immediately appeared on his smooth, greasy skin.

Then, a crisp explosion!

The Second Leader shattered into pieces on the ground.

The subordinate's face instantly contorted in terror. He fell to the ground: “No, it wasn't me, it wasn't me!”

Of course, it wasn't him; everyone knew that.

Those who had already descended looked at Yao Xiaoyue as if they had seen a demon.

“You, you!”

“The Second Leader is dead!” Someone shouted.

The group of subordinates instantly scattered.

“Run, run away!”

Whoosh! Golden-red flames surged, engulfing everyone in the blink of an eye.

After a few breaths, the flames vanished, leaving only some charred bones.

“Alright, no one will disturb us now.”

Tang Ping swung his blade, splitting the last pupa in half.

“Half for each of us.”

Yao Xiaoyue took out two crystal-like jars: “An E-rank extraordinary item, the Spirit Sealing Crystal Jar. I'll give you one. It's for storing pupa fluid and can greatly preserve its medicinal properties.”

Tang Ping was surprised: “Thank you.”

“Let's split these Shelters too, half for each of us. What's inside and what characteristics they have will depend on luck,” Tang Ping said.

“Okay.”

Half an hour later, the dungeon ended.

The Great Emperor Moth also came out with them.

Tang Ping sheathed his blade behind his back: “Goodbye.”

Yao Xiaoyue suddenly raised an eyebrow and spoke teasingly: “Okay, little grandpa.”

“...”

“I'm still young...”

Tang Ping and Yao Xiaoyue parted ways without much farewell.

Finding a place, Tang Ping set up his Shelter, then opened the trade interface. infected serum, as expected, had buyers, and several bottles had already been successfully sold.

He took out the blueprint.

“I can upgrade to a Level Three Shelter now.”
