Chapter 11
On the chest of the Goblin Lord’s corpse, there were two charred palm prints, and the palm prints were abnormally clear.
It was the burn mark caused by the high temperature of Ji Ruo’s Iron Sand Palm at the mastery level.
Strictly speaking, Iron Sand Palm was not a set of palm techniques with specific rules.
It was essentially a buff-type martial technique.
It has a high temperature, toughness, strength increase, and other characteristics. After adding the state, it can hit however it wants.
It could even be used as a slap.
B0x𝔫𝙤ѵ𝑒𝙡.com“What a pity.”
Liang Shixian was recording his free martial arts examination score as he sighed, “If we were to sell the materials from these demonic beasts and devils, we would make a lot of money. Unfortunately, we don’t have the time or energy to collect them…”
After a night of chaos, there were a large number of corpses here. They looked extremely miserable and the smell of blood was extremely strong.
It was okay to pick up the points, but it would take a lot of time to collect the materials. During this time, no one could be sure whether there would be demonic beasts and devils attracted by the strong smell of blood, so they could not stay here for too long.
“Don’t worry, we still have to stay in this secret realm for six days, there will be plenty of opportunities,” Ji Ruo said with a smile.
There were more than two hundred different kinds of demonic beasts and devils here, and some of them were not completely dead yet. Ji Ruo took the trouble to give them Iron Sand Palm one by one.
At the same time, he also took the initiative to greet the other party before smacking them to death. The enhancement effect of the title of [Diplomatic Spokesperson] was also increased by 5%.
Liu Neng and Zhang Quan were also used to the blood on the ground. They were recording the scores while chatting with Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that the martial arts examination could be so easy,” said Zhang Quan.
Liu Neng agreed. ‘That’s right, I can eat blood-red rice and even pick up free points. Hahaha! Free points. This way of phrasing it is really interesting! Ji Ruo, it’s all thanks to you guys this time!”
Ji Ruo smiled and was about to reply.
The 5% ‘safe direction’ that was corrected by [Absolute Directional Sense] suddenly became unusually blurry.
Ji Ruo was stunned. Although 5% was not much, it was still effective.
Why did it suddenly become so blurry?
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, a series of buzzes sounded, and Ji Ruo’s expression changed.
He saw hundreds of human-head-sized wasps flying over from the distance at an extremely fast speed!
“Stop picking up points. Run!” Ji Ruo yelled and spun around, choosing his direction.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Ruo had roughly compared his ‘instinct’ of the different directions and chose the safer one.
“This way!”
Without any hesitation, Ji Ruo ran.
The other three did not react as quickly as Ji Ruo. By the time they could react, the human-head-sized wasps were already within a hundred meters.
“Stinger demon bees?!” Liang Shixian cried out in shock, turned around, and ran.
Stinger demon bees were low-level devils. An adult stinger demon bee’s average strength was between a level two and three Martial Apprentice.
Although its defense was weak, it was extremely mobile.
Moreover, these things lived in groups.
Not only that, as a flying monster, the main attack of this thing was to shoot tail spikes. They had an ‘ammunition warehouse’ in their bodies, which stored six to nine tail spikes.
The stinger was as thick as an adult’s pinky and was highly toxic.
These devils did not feed on pollen or honey like ordinary wasps, but were omnivorous. Liang Shixian was almost certain that these hundreds of stinger demon bees were attracted by the strong smell of blood.
The few of them followed Ji Ruo and ran in a direction.
They did not know where they were, but there was no way they could turn around with the swarm of stinger demon bees behind them.
“Don’t be afraid. Their target should be the dead body over there. They won’t attack us for the time being. We just need to run a little further,” Ji Ruo said as he ran.
He could hear the wind blow past him as he talked, but he did not know if the other three could hear him.
The stinger demon bees’ target was the corpses of the demonic beasts and devils on the ground. Although there were hundreds of stinger demon bees, each as big as a human head, their wings could not support them.
Therefore, when they passed by the corpses, more than 90% of the stinger demon bees landed and worked together to transport their food.
However, there were still a dozen that didn’t stop and continued to chase after Ji Ruo and the others.
“Tsk! These guys still want to eat fresh ones!” Ji Ruo turned around and cursed.
The four teenagers were running on the ground. Even if they were level six Martial Apprentices, they were still not as fast as those who were flying in the sky.
As for the stinger demon bees, they would shoot their stingers when they were within a certain distance.
The fate of the four youths seemed to have already been decided.
Suddenly, Liang Shixian gritted his teeth and stood still. He growled, “I’ve learned the Iron Skin technique. You guys go first, I’ll cover!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ji Ruo shouted, “Do you think your Iron Skin can withstand the tail of this thing? Hurry up and run!”
Liang Shixian stood still and turned around to face the stinger demon bees. “They can fly, and we don’t have any long-range attacks. If we keep running, we’ll only die under the poisonous tail stingers. We can’t all die here, can we? If one could escape, it was better. There had to be someone to cover the rear. When the exam is over, help me tell my teacher that I’m afraid I won’t be able to hand in my last homework…”
Hearing this, Ji Ruo gritted his teeth and stopped. “Even so, it’s not your turn to cover the rear!”
“Why can’t I get my turn?” Liang Shixian took a deep breath, and his skin started to turn gray. It was the Iron Skin at the beginner level.
Liang Shixian’s gaze was firm as he faced the stinger demon bees and said, “I’m the class president, after all!”
As he spoke, a dozen stinger demon bees had already flown into the range of the stinger attack. They straightened their stingers and fired a round of shots!
“Quickly run!” Liang Shixian roared.
Ji Ruo turned around and ran. For the first time, he drew the standard sword on his back.
“There are no girls here, who are you acting cool for?” Ji Ruo growled.
He recalled the description and demonstration of a certain Sword Art he had seen in novels and TV shows in his previous life.
Although the demonstration on the TV was not real, Ji Ruo still remembered the description in the novel. Besides, he had the [sword appreciation] buff, which raised his understanding of the sword to the limit. Although it was only the beginner level of [sword appreciation], it was enough.
In an instant, Ji Ruo understood and mastered the sword technique.
Liang Shixian was stunned for a second when Ji Ruo came to his side. Then he became angry. “What are you doing back here? Go quickly! I said I’ll bring cover you all.”
“I said, it’s not your turn to cover the rear!”
Ji Ruo listened to the wind to determine the position, staring at the dozens of poisonous stingers, the long sword in his hand drawing a mysterious trajectory.
“Besides, what kind of martial artist are you if you’re afraid of death!”
“Broken arrow form!”
Ding! Ding!
The mysterious sword skill formed a three-foot sword defense around Ji Ruo, blocking all the poisonous stingers. None of them could break through Ji Ruo’s three-foot sword defense.
When Liang Shixian saw this, he subconsciously dispelled the effects of the Iron Skin technique and was dumbfounded.
He looked at the sword in Ji Ruo’s hand, then at the swords on Ji Ruo’s back. He remembered what Ji Ruo had said, and his mouth was wide open. “Ji Ruo, y-you really have knife and sword ambidexterity?”
This was not the basic sword technique that was taught in school.
“Moreover, what kind of sword technique was broken arrow form? I have never even heard of it before!” he thought.
