Chapter 137: Chapter 110: A Man’s Ability! (II)

On the other side.

Qian Mingkui fell from midair, landing on his backside with a thud.

Crrack!

The Space Transmission Device in his hand emitted a plume of thick smoke.

"Such an expensive thing, broken after just one use?" Qian Mingkui clicked his tongue.

A gadget of this size was worth millions!

He hurriedly packed it away!

If he could fix it when he got back, reselling it would mean another inflow of cash.

Qian Mingkui carefully placed the Space Transmission Device back into his backpack and then stood up to survey his surroundings.

Not far away.

Long Lake rippled, shimmering under the light.

—This was indeed the place he visited last time.

Where was that big bird?

Qian Mingkui craned his neck, looking around.

Nothing.

Not just no bird, but absolute silence around, not even a hint of movement.

...It seems Brother Bird has left.

Sigh.

Forget it.

Partings are a common part of life.

Have a Coke to reminisce for a moment, before going monster hunting.

Qian Mingkui pulled out a can of chilled Coke from his bag, opened it, and began to drink slowly.

Speaking of which, it was strange.

His Soul Power had increased by two points.

It was really baffling.

Was it just from practicing the spear for one day?

This had made him need to kill three creatures just to go back.

What a hassle...

Qian Mingkui took another sip and felt something was lacking in his heart.

That was right.

Drinking Coke alone isn’t fun.

He should eat something!

He looked down again to rummage through his bag.

Boom—

A thunderous noise came from not too far away.

Qian Mingkui, startled, jerked his hand, and the strawberry donut he had just taken out fell to the ground.

"Damn it, who scares people like that?"

He was about to curse out loud when he suddenly remembered this was the Otherworld, possibly with monsters around, and quickly shut his mouth.

Such a loud noise...

The monster must be fearsome.

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than he saw that scene.

On a hillside not far away, something was covering the top, extending for hundreds of meters and looked like a giant black ribbon.

No.

It wasn’t a ribbon.

It was a gigantic centipede!

Qian Mingkui felt his legs start to shake.

Run!

What are you waiting for, run as far as you can!

Qian Mingkui picked up the donut, blew off the dust, stuffed it into his bag, and turned to run.

Suddenly.

A long cry echoed through the air.

Qian Mingkui’s heart skipped a beat.

That sound was—

He turned his head to look.

On the other side of the hill, a giant bird appeared. It had just flown halfway up when, as if something went wrong with its body, it crashed back down to the ground.

It was Brother Bird!

Qian Mingkui nervously swallowed his saliva.

What to do?

Finding Brother Bird was a good thing, but it clearly looked unwell.

That centipede must be formidable!

He surely had no chance against it.

If that was the case—

Why not run?

Qian Mingkui was about to step outside when he suddenly noticed that the giant bird was looking at him.

Its eyes held a trace of sorrow.

Qian Mingkui was unmoved.

Because he couldn’t beat it!

That centipede—

Rushing in would be suicidal.

Qian Mingkui sighed deeply in his heart and turned to look in the direction of Long Lake.

He saw a huge shadow appear in the lake, moving back and forth, which looked quite terrifying.

—It was a fish with a human head.

It stared at Qian Mingkui as if it would pounce on him the moment he entered the water.

Sweat beaded on Qian Mingkui’s forehead.

Behind was the lake.

Ahead was the centipede.

—There was no other route to take.

Dammit!

I’m totally not cut out for water battle!

Determination crossed Qian Mingkui’s face, as he pulled out his spear from behind, and shouted loudly,

"Hold on, I’m coming to lend you a hand!"

As he shouted, he sprinted with all his might up the hill, raised his spear, and stabbed at the centipede.

The centipede, upon seeing this.

Oh—

So weak?

It hissed mockingly and charged straight for Qian Mingkui.

Qian Mingkui’s spear crashed against the creature’s chitinous shell, sparking briefly before being deflected.

It was over.

Qian Mingkui’s mind went blank.

His strongest move couldn’t even break the opponent’s shell.

What was there left to fight for?

Just as he was succumbing to despair, the bird lying on the ground suddenly let out a shrill cry.

The cry pierced through the Void, jolting Qian Mingkui awake.

The vision of his daughter’s smiling face flashed through his mind.

No.

He couldn’t die!

What would happen to Little Shi if he died!

Qian Mingkui’s eyes narrowed, he gripped his spear with both hands, turned around to run, creating some space, then spun around to stab again.

However, was the centipede going to give him that chance?

As Qian Mingkui backed away, the centipede’s speed suddenly increased, and by the time Qian Mingkui turned around to stab, it was already upon him—

Qian Mingkui couldn’t thrust out his spear!

What to do?

Qian Mingkui sighed deeply in his heart, about to close his eyes and wait for death, when suddenly an image flashed through his mind.

The martial arts gym.

That youth set down his teacup, walked up to the weapons rack, and pulled out a spear.

With a smiling face, he said,

"Elder Qian, watch carefully, these three moves are like this."

He performed the three Spear Skills in a fluid motion without using any Soul Power, even he himself was somewhat amazed.

Slaughter Spear Skill.

The first move: Block.

This move must block the enemy’s attack.

Block...

Qian Mingkui’s eyes widened, and he roared, "Block!"

The spear couldn’t thrust forward, but he swung it back into position, blocking in front of him.

Clang!

A muffled sound.

Qian Mingkui was sent flying tens of meters away, retreated another seven or eight steps, then steadied himself.

He blocked it!

He didn’t die, and he actually blocked the centipede’s attack.

Qian Mingkui burst out with another roar, venting the fear in his heart.

This move was said to "definitely block" the enemy’s attack.

It turned out it really could!

It helped him dispel much of the force, then blocked the centipede’s charge!

Qian Mingkui’s hands were somewhat numb.

But at this moment, he could no longer care about that.

Because the centipede’s attack had failed, it let out a sharp shriek and charged at him again.

Block again?

No...This was a combo move, after the first strike was blocked, the remaining Soul Power inside his body stirred.

The second form—

"Lift"!

This was a Floating Skill, which guaranteed loss of control in mid-air.

He had only two points of Soul Power, one to block, and this last point, if he could lift the centipede into mid-air—

Qian Mingkui glanced at the large bird lying on the ground.

The bird seemed to understand his intention, barely perceptibly nodding at him.

A bird!

Not only had it saved him, but now it even understood his intent!

Truly a soulmate in life!

As such, I entrust my life and death to you.

Qian Mingkui roared again, faced the centipede head-on, his body suddenly dropped low, steadying himself into a horse stance, and with his spear, he struck upwards at an angle—

Thump!

The centipede, powered by its fierce momentum, was cleverly flicked into mid-air by his move.

Just at that moment—

The large bird on the ground let out a sharp cry, its wings flapped mightily and it swooped up instantly, its sharp claws piercing into the centipede’s head, carrying it high into the air.

The centipede, caught off guard, wanted to struggle, but its head was controlled by another, just as it had been lifted into the air, it lost all strength, unable to resist momentarily.

The big bird’s claws forcefully pierced into its brain.

In an instant.

The large bird and the centipede flew out of sight.

Qian Mingkui, seeing the danger disappear, cautiously maintained a defensive stance motionless.

The breeze blew.

No other creatures appeared.

The shadow in the Long Lake also moved farther away, seemingly frightened by the battle scene here.

Clang!

The spear fell to the side.

Qian Mingkui collapsed on the ground, lying in the form of the character "big," continually gasping for air.

"Fuck, that scared me to death."

"Thanks to Elder Wu’s demonstration of the Spear Skill, otherwise I couldn’t have executed it."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, fumbled in his backpack, and pulled out a loaf of bread.

Those two moves had used up all his energy.

Now even his Soul Power was depleted to zero.

He must rest and eat quickly!

Qian Mingkui started eating the bread hungrily.

In a little while.

The sound of wings flapping arose.

The large bird flew back.

"Brother Bird!" Qian Mingkui quickly waved.

The large bird gently landed, stopping beside him, staring at him with an extremely complex look.

"We collaborated well in that fight just now, otherwise we’d have been goners!" Qian Mingkui smiled broadly, stood up, and hugged the large bird forcefully.

The bird’s claws tightened slightly, immediately leaving deep scratches on the ground.

However, how could Qian Mingkui notice such a detail?

He just affectionately hugged the large bird, then turned back to fetch a can of cola from his bag.

"Here, drink this, " he said.

He held the can and mimed a drinking gesture.

The big bird rolled its eyes, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

The claws’ scratches deepened.

Click.

The claws touched the stones beneath, making a sound.

Qian Mingkui finally noticed.

He slowly lowered his head to look.

"You’re bleeding?" he exclaimed in shock.

The big bird also looked down.

Sure enough, there was a cut on its claw, from which blood was actively flowing.

But such a wound wasn’t a big deal—

With a little Soul Power, it could heal as good as new.

Just as the big bird was about to stop its bleeding, it heard Qian Mingkui anxiously ask:

"Is it serious? Was that centipede poisonous? How are you feeling now?"

The big bird was stunned.

Qian Mingkui had already crouched down, hugging the bird’s leg and said, "Hang in there, I’ll suck the poison out!"

Suck it out...

Like last time?

For some reason, the big bird felt its legs go weak and it collapsed on the ground.

"Damn! We can’t let the poison spread!"

In shock, Qian Mingkui quickly lay down and started to suck on the wound.

The big bird immediately stiffened as if electrified and couldn’t move.

That was the feeling.

My God.

It really was that feeling...

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Qian Mingkui spat out the poison, rinsed his mouth with the drink, and asked with concern:

"How are you now?"

The big bird gasped a few times on the ground, slowly recovering its senses, and its gaze turned fierce.

It wouldn’t do.

This man was its weakness; it had to remove him.

Just as it was about to pounce, it suddenly pulled on its wound and couldn’t help but emit a low, urgent cry.

"Not yet?" Qian Mingkui became even more worried.

The centipede’s poison was indeed fierce, leaving his mouth numb.

But there was no other way.

This big bird had shown real loyalty; he couldn’t just abandon it.

Well, might as well see it through to the end.

"Hang in there, I’ll help you one more time," he said earnestly.

It was time to bring out his real skills!

He had practiced his noodle-sucking technique for so many years—

Little Shi knew just how formidable he was at eating noodles; he could suck them down in one breath, so cleanly that he’d even lick the bowl clean!

With such power, drawing out the poison should be no problem!

Qian Mingkui leaned down, put his mouth on the bird’s thigh, and sucked hard—

Just as the big bird was recovering from the pain of the injury and was poised to strike, it didn’t expect the man to start detoxifying it again.

With the familiar feeling coming on, the big bird’s body tensed and its eyes became unfocused.

Having someone to detoxify and care about itself was too much to bear...

Falling for this feeling...

What about killing?

Why insist on killing him?

Life is so short... with so many unreachable goals...

Why not.

Hold on.

To this moment.

The big bird couldn’t help but flap its wings and gently pressed them on Qian Mingkui’s head.
