Chapter 388: Created by the Era
After saying that, Zhou Erzhu and Yang Hao ran as fast as they could, using up all their recovered strength. They were so fast, with Yang Hao even yelling as they ran.
“The potato chips from Erzhu’s house!”
“The cured meat made by Aunt Li!”
“Don’t run, I’m coming!”
Even the serial killer did not expect these two teenagers, after being scared by him, to still have the energy to run away.
As he watched the two fleeing figures, his gaze turned serious.
These were two individuals with strong bodies, with their hearts and spines being the main core materials. If he let them go, they might inform Hachikuju’s Red Flame Wolf Rider later. Though he was not afraid of their power, gathering materials would become troublesome. Obtaining two sets of these strong materials again might take a long time to achieve.
He didn’t care much about it, but the urgency of the situation pressed him.
Failing to complete the task within the set time would result in punishment from that person, so he must not let these two teenagers escape.
The beetle in front of him hadn’t moved for a long time, making the man wonder if it was sleeping.
Today, he saw two patrols of the Red Flame Wolf Rider. He suspected that there might have been a leak. Normally, he wouldn’t care much, let them run, he could catch up with them later.
But if they happened to encounter the Red Flame Wolf Rider today and someone got killed by them, it would be too troublesome.
The man decided to bypass the Obsidian Beetle and chase after Yang Hao because the chubby boy had witnessed him killing someone.
To his surprise, the motionless black beetle suddenly flew in front of him, blocking his way.
Although he didn’t know what the beetle meant, it seemed determined to protect the two fleeing boys.
The man stared at the Obsidian Beetle in front of him and asked slowly, “Are you trying to stop me?”
The Obsidian Beetle nodded up and down in agreement, showing no concern for the man’s feelings.
It was too risky to run further and encounter unexpected events. Since it wanted to stop him, it would have to pay the price for doing so.
The man looked at the pretending-to-be-dumb Obsidian Beetle, and a fierce smile appeared on his face again.
“This second-rank mutant beast, it can understand me, its intelligence is at least on par with an adult human, and its strength is on the level of a king. There is indeed a reason why I don’t want to fight.
But just now was just a sneak attack that I blocked. But you don’t think I’m really afraid, do you? Even if you destroyed my claw spike, I’ll show you that without a sneak attack, do you still have that much power!”
The man completely saw Obsidian Beetle as an opponent who could bring out all his strength. A lion must try with all its might to catch a rabbit, let alone this mutant beast in front of him, which is much scarier than lions or tigers.
Swish! Swish!
The man’s legs spun on the ground, his right hand’s damaged claw spike was completely thrown aside, and then two sharp sounds were heard.
In the brief moment just now, two folded stainless steel claw spikes had already been worn on his hands, with a very fast assembly speed, completed in the blink of an eye.
This pair of matched stainless steel claw spikes were slightly sharper than the damaged one from before, seeming to have not seen the light of day for a long time, giving off a chilling aura in the sunlight.
“The previous single one was already the limit for a human foundry worker, although it could still be used reluctantly, it was still not handy. Now that it’s broken, it’s better, no need for it, just like domestic products, far inferior to imports.”
It’s been a long time since I used these real weapons, but now I finally get to use them, only to deal with a tiny bug.”
Speaking to himself, as if soothing the steel claws in his hands, he continued in a calm voice.
“Old friend, come out and see the sun, this bug doesn’t have much blood, and I’m sure you don’t want to suck it. Be patient, deal with it, and later there will be two pure bloods for you to drink to your heart’s content.”
What’s chilling is that these claws seemed to understand the man’s words. When they heard about the pure blood, they let out a light hum, obviously having tasted that flavor before.
If Zhang Mu were here, he would immediately recognize that these were products of Era Store. These claws are spiritual, not like the lifeless objects just now, not something a second-rank human foundry worker could make.
In simple terms, these claws have a soul!
Although they may not have high spirituality, having a soul is the greatest transformation from lifeless to living. Spiritual weapons will gradually be influenced by the owner’s breath, changing to match everything about the owner.
That is, the weapon is shaped by the owner. If the owner’s style is bold and powerful, the weapon naturally becomes more powerful. If the owner’s attacks are subtle, the weapon will help conceal some strength, only to unleash it at a critical moment.
The man clearly treasures these claws and keeps them close. They have already absorbed his breath. Invisibly, the claws now perfectly match his breath.
When the man put on the pair of claw spikes, the Obsidian Beetle could tell that this person was different. He wasn’t careless anymore, but alert. The fact that he made the Obsidian Beetle feel threatened put it on high alert.
“Then, go ahead and kill.”
The man brought his steel claw spikes close to his lips, kissed them, as if he was caressing the ear of his most intimate lover. His expression was very strange.
Without any warning, the man struck in the next second!
The pair of claw spikes overlapped, and with a fierce swipe, an X-shaped energy extended from the spikes in an instant, doubling his attack range, much like a skilled swordsman can unleash sword energy.
The sharp energy hit the Obsidian Beetle, but was slowly worn away by the Obsidian Beetle’s instant wind blades.
However, the man’s real attack came suddenly afterwards, as he swung the solid steel claw spikes towards the Obsidian Beetle’s back armor. Yet the Obsidian Beetle’s wind blades had already dissipated the previous energy wave.
With a sharp sound, a large X-shaped scratch was left under the Obsidian Beetle’s back armor.
The reason this scratch wasn’t deeper was because of the Obsidian Beetle’s sturdy and armored back. If it had hit a normal second-rank mutated beast covered in fur, it would have taken off at least two pounds of flesh.
Look at how sharp these claws are!
The man clearly did not give the Obsidian Beetle a chance to catch its breath, he just sent it flying, stomped on the ground with his legs, lifted his arm heavily and pounced forward.
The second attack followed closely behind!
