Chapter 37

Wang Ge, using the cover of the grass, silently infiltrated forward, as if water were seeping into sand.

Without making a sound, he did not attract the attention of the insectoid, and before he knew it, he had already approached to within three meters of the insectoid.

When the insectoid turned its back to Wang Ge, Wang Ge, like a nimble cheetah, burst out of the grass. His speed was extremely fast, and after bursting out of the grass, Wang Ge stomped heavily on the ground, and then suddenly leaped into the air.

He threw his body forward, parallel to the ground, as if he had transformed into an arrow or a spear, shooting towards the insectoid!

One foot pointed forward, his body and leg forming a straight line, his leg and foot stretched taut. At this moment, all of Wang Ge's strength was concentrated on the tip of his foot!

The moment the tip of his foot shot out like the point of a spear, a "snap" sound of air explosion echoed in the air!

This sound alerted the insectoid to turn around, and it also made the eyes of someone hiding in the distant grass flicker uncertainly...

The move Wang Ge used was a variation of the first move he had seen in the arena with Iron Fish. It was similar but not the same, including the aura, yet it still produced a sonic boom that only a tenth-level life form could achieve.

Before the insectoid had fully turned around, it had already been pierced in the back by Wang Ge's foot!

"Bang!"

The insectoid, which did not look particularly strong, immediately fell forward. The back of its shirt was torn by Wang Ge's foot, revealing a black leather armor, but the armor was not pierced, only a fine crack appeared.

Wang Ge's face remained calm, but he was secretly surprised.

When he kicked the insectoid, it felt like kicking thick leather, causing no damage to the insectoid but almost sending him flying due to the strong rebound.

What a formidable defense and strength!

Although Wang Ge had anticipated this, he still underestimated the insectoid. His original plan was to kick and shatter the insectoid's back armor or at least pierce it, but to his surprise, the insectoid was completely unharmed.

Could even the powerful strength comparable to a tenth-level life form not violently break through the insectoid's defense? Wang Ge's heart sank, and without pausing, he continued to rush forward, catching up to the insectoid that had fallen to the ground. As the insectoid was about to stand up, Wang Ge had already drawn his Adamantine Dagger.

Stab!

Wang Ge's Adamantine Dagger fiercely stabbed towards the insectoid's heart. He knew that to completely kill the insectoid, he had to destroy its head or heart; any other part would not cause fatal damage.

But something unexpected happened. As the insectoid stood up, it turned and swung its arm behind it.

Perhaps the insectoid did not have thoughts, but it was following the instinct of a wild beast. This swing was like sweeping a thousand armies, fast and powerful, and caught Wang Ge off guard. The arm hit the side of the Adamantine Dagger.

The powerful force instantly numbed Wang Ge's five fingers, and the Adamantine Dagger flew out of his hand.

Wang Ge reacted quickly, locking the insectoid's arm with his hands, lifting it upwards. At the same time, he used the momentum of his forward rush to bring his knees together and fiercely ram them into the insectoid's back!

It was like a wooden hammer striking a bell, with a "thud" sound, the insectoid was knocked forward again. The insectoid's arm made a "crack" sound, and Wang Ge tore it off!

Wang Ge was momentarily stunned, holding the insectoid's severed arm. He had intended to break the insectoid's arm in the opposite direction, but he did not expect the insectoid's armor to be so tough while its arm joints were so fragile, truly like a bug.

His knee strike, which sent the insectoid sprawling, did not cause much damage, but the fine crack on the insectoid's back widened, revealing white flesh and green, sticky blood.

"Roar—"

The insectoid, having lost an arm, became frenzied. Its speed seemed to increase, and it quickly got up, turning to glare at Wang Ge with red eyes that glowed with a terrifying bloodlight.

"Brother, I'll help you!" Suddenly, a voice came from the nearby grass. Wang Ge turned to see a large man with a short axe jump out of the grass!

The man was about thirty years old, and his attire was similar to Wang Ge's poacher identity. The short axe in his hand had a broad blade, like a small grinding wheel, heavy and sharp.

He roared and rushed forward, fiercely chopping at the insectoid's head. The insectoid, now frenzied, seemed to forget to dodge and instead grabbed the axe blade with its remaining hand. The blade scraped the insectoid's palm, causing sparks, but it did not break through the defense. The insectoid's strength was so great that the man could not retrieve the axe.

After a moment of stalemate, the man turned and roared at Wang Ge, "I've got him! Move in quickly!"

How does that sound? Wang Ge's lips twitched slightly. Actually, the insectoid had restrained you, right?

Wang Ge quickly picked up the Adamantine Dagger, took a step forward, and instead of attacking the insectoid head-on, he circled around to its back. The Adamantine Dagger "swished" and a fine crack appeared on the insectoid's neck.

The man stopped struggling with the insectoid for the axe and hastily leaped back, while Wang Ge also quickly retreated to three meters away.

The crack on the insectoid's neck quickly widened, and a large amount of green, sticky blood flowed out. The insectoid's head tilted, and it fell to the ground, green blood splattering everywhere.

Thank goodness... Wang Ge and the man both secretly rejoiced. Insectoids were different from insect beasts. Perhaps because the insectoid was originally human, its internal organs had a certain chance of infecting humans, and even its blood had a chance of infection.

The man picked up the short axe and smiled at Wang Ge, "Brother, you have great skills!"

"You're not bad either," Wang Ge said politely.

Neither of them looked at the pair of Feipeng Grass soaking in the hedgehog's blood, as if they had selective blindness.

"I've been searching this mountain for days, all for this insectoid," the man said with a face full of grief and anger. "My younger brother took a mission a few days ago to catch moon rabbits in the Four-Faced Mountain. He didn't catch any moon rabbits, but he was eaten by the insectoid!

"So I put aside everything and came to the Four-Faced Mountain to find the insectoid that killed my brother. By the grace of heaven, I finally found it today. Thanks to your help, otherwise I might not have been able to defeat it alone.

"By the way, brother, you're so young, but I didn't expect you to already be a tenth-level life form? Truly impressive!"

Wang Ge said calmly, "No, I just learned a method to exert force, which can temporarily generate the strength of a tenth-level life form."

"I see." The man's eyes flickered, and he chuckled, "By the way, brother, why did you kill this insectoid?"

Wang Ge looked at him deeply, then smiled slightly and walked to the hedgehog's blood pool, reaching out to pick the pair of Feipeng Grass.

The roots of the Feipeng Grass were only shallowly embedded in the soil, probably just to keep them from being blown away by the wind.

So Wang Ge easily pulled out the pair of Feipeng Grass and waved them in front of the man, "I did it for this."

"Ah." The man had been staring intently at the Feipeng Grass while Wang Ge picked them, but when Wang Ge pulled them out, he acted as if he didn't care, glanced at the Feipeng Grass, and smiled at Wang Ge, "So, brother, you came to gather herbs."

"Yes." Wang Ge put the Feipeng Grass into a scientific collection bag and put it in his backpack, then said to the man, "If there's nothing else, let's part ways."

"Wait—" The man quickly called out, very enthusiastically grabbing Wang Ge's arm, "Brother, I really appreciate your help!

"Without your help, I couldn't have avenged my brother. Please accept my gratitude. Let's go back to the mountain city base together. I have no reason to stay here now.

"I don't have much on me, but I have a set of short dagger techniques at home that would suit you.

"Brother, I see you use a short dagger as a weapon, but you seem to practice combat techniques and leg techniques. Your short dagger is valuable, and if you combine it with the short dagger techniques, it will definitely be more powerful."

"Really? I think so too." Wang Ge, like a naive young man, was led by the man down the mountain, responding to the man's topic, "But I didn't help you out of a sense of duty, and the short dagger techniques... it's too much to ask."

"What's too much?" The man said with a bold look, "As the saying goes, a good sword should be given to a hero. You're so young and already so strong, and you have a fine short dagger. My family's short dagger techniques are perfect for you. Besides, I use a single-handed short axe, so the techniques are useless to me!"

Wang Ge hesitated, "Well, it's still not good..."

"What's not good? To be honest, brother, my poor brother used to practice short dagger techniques. The short dagger techniques were supposed to be a birthday gift for him. Unfortunately, he didn't get to receive them before he... " The man's eyes welled up with tears as he sighed.

"Ah, so I'm giving you the short dagger techniques, and my brother will be happy in the afterlife. You're about the same age as my brother, and we hit it off immediately. You helped me avenge my brother, so why don't we become sworn brothers?"

【In the morning, I saw that we were still fourth on the new book list, but in the afternoon, we became fifth... Brothers and sisters, the fourth and sixth places are very close to us. How about borrowing some recommendation votes from everyone to get back to fourth place?】
