Chapter 37 – Intentional Blast Punch!
"Stop shouting, you're giving me the creeps, I've got goosebumps all over! Take this, you dead weight! Intentional Blast Punch!"
After allocating all the attribute points he gained from defeating the Giant Scorpion to Strength, Qiao Yu threw a punch at Xun Dong.
This was his best chance, as Xun Dong was still unaware of his astonishing attack power.
Qiao Yu activated the Skeleton King's Ring, stacking a 50% increase on his 276 attack power, and punched Xun Dong's slender abdomen.
Bang!
A bright red "-404!" appeared above Xun Dong's head.
Xun Dong's eyes bulged out, looking just like a stranded goldfish.
Her stunning face was filled with shock; she was not well-educated and couldn't understand.
Why could this man strike without hesitation? Didn't he know how to cherish beauty?
Moreover, why did this punch hurt so much...
As Xun Dong was injured, her personal information appeared before Qiao Yu.
[Rare NPC: Xun Dong]
[Level: lv10]
[Health: 396/800]
[Strength: 25]
[Defense: 10]
[Agility: 15]
[Skills: Insect Devour, Poison Insect Control, Shapeshift]
"Huh?"
A look of confusion appeared on Qiao Yu's face. Why were Xun Dong's attributes so poor, yet she was rated as a rare NPC?
What kind of strange logic was this?
While Qiao Yu was bewildered, Yang Xiangdi's cries for help came from afar.
"Brother Yu, help! I can't handle this brute!"
Yang Xiangdi was being chased around by the Anaconda, which looked disheveled, clearly having been hit by Yang Xiangdi's Ground Explosion Technique.
[Ordinary NPC: Anaconda] (Insect Devour state)
[Level: lv10]
[Health: 312/500]
[Strength: 55]
[Defense: 30]
[Agility: 30]
[Skills: Insect Devour, Poison Insect Control]
"Fang Xun, Fang Yuan, you go with Long Chang to help Yang Xiangdi, I'll handle this woman."
With the help of the other three, the situation on Yang Xiangdi's side finally stabilized. They kept pulling at the Anaconda, fighting back and forth.
Qiao Yu's doubts deepened. Why was Xun Dong rated as rare, but her attributes were inferior to the Giant Scorpion and Anaconda? It didn't make sense!
"Handsome brother, you punched my tummy so hard it's dented, what if you broke it?"
Xun Dong pouted and rubbed her tummy, seemingly not caring at all that Qiao Yu had punched away half her health bar.
"Sorry, I apologize. As compensation, turn around, and I'll punch your tummy from the back to even it out."
Qiao Yu rubbed his fists, believing that no matter what kind of monster Xun Dong was, as long as he killed her, there would be no worries.
"Hehe, handsome brother, you have a really ruthless heart."
The smile on Xun Dong's face slowly disappeared. She had been caught off guard earlier, but now she wouldn't be foolish enough to take another punch.
"If you're so ungrateful, then die!"
Xun Dong shouted, and in an instant, countless poisonous insects flew out from her body.
Leading them were the swarms that had been slaughtered in the ancient well!
But it wasn't over yet. With a thought, a swarm of golden locusts surged from behind her.
These were Golden Winged Locusts, their wings as sharp as blades.
If someone were enveloped by these locusts, even an adult would be gnawed to bones in an instant.
"Damn!"
Qiao Yu's expression changed. He wasn't afraid of bosses or the like, but he dreaded these swarming attacks.
Even at level 8, his health was a mere 80 points. Once caught by the swarm, it was a dead end.
"-3"
"-5"
"-3"
"-5"
As soon as he came into contact with the swarm, Qiao Yu's health began to drop rapidly.
He kept punching to kill the poisonous insects, but the effect was negligible.
Qiao Yu was filled with anxiety. Should he use the active skill of the Heart of the Brave now?
If he raised all attributes to match his Strength of 138 points, the current predicament could be easily resolved.
But Qiao Yu was reluctant to waste such a precious active skill.
"Screw it, I still have the Sage's Protection to revive once, let's go for it!"
Qiao Yu set his sights on Xun Dong. To catch the thief, first capture the king. As long as he killed Xun Dong, the poisonous insects would collapse on their own.
With this in mind, Qiao Yu charged into the swarm of insects.
"Giggle, handsome brother, have you finally realized you want to be food for the swarm?"
Xun Dong sneered at Qiao Yu's foolish actions.
She seemed to already envision Qiao Yu being gnawed to bones by the insects.
Hmm?
Xun Dong was stunned for a moment. She didn't hear Qiao Yu's screams?
The next second, Qiao Yu's figure emerged ghost-like from the dense swarm!
Bang!
Qiao Yu threw a punch, his fist carrying violent power, aiming at Xun Dong!
Xun Dong staggered back, a sweet taste rising in her throat. She swallowed the blood and retreated after exchanging a blow with Qiao Yu.
She wanted to summon back the swarm, but Qiao Yu gave her no chance.
Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Yu relentlessly attacked, giving Xun Dong no time to summon the swarm for help.
His furious punches and kicks landed on Xun Dong, leaving her unable to defend.
In terms of hitting women, Qiao Yu had already shown his talent back in Nightmare Village.
"Chief!"
The Anaconda, seeing Xun Dong being beaten, immediately wanted to come to her aid, but a barrier of sand and earth blocked its path.
"Don't run around, your opponent is me!" Yang Xiangdi said, waving a pink staff.
A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
"Anyone who blocks me will be killed without mercy!" The Anaconda roared and continued charging towards Xun Dong.
"Fireball Technique!"
A massive fireball shot from Fang Xun's hand towards the Anaconda.
"You court death!"
The Anaconda didn't dodge, blocking its face with its hand and charging straight into the fireball.
The scorching flames ignited the Anaconda's body, and it tore off its outer clothing, revealing its muscular physique.
"Kill!"
The Anaconda charged through the fireball, punching Fang Xun in the chest.
"Ugh!"
Fang Xun coughed up blood, a crisp sound of bone cracking coming from his chest.
That punch drove Fang Xun's broken ribs into his lungs, and now even breathing carried a bloody taste, leaving him unable to stand.
"Brother!"
Fang Yuan cried out, rushing to catch Fang Xun. Although Fang Xun wasn't dead yet, his health bar was nearly depleted.
The Anaconda's punch was terrifyingly powerful.
"Get lost!"
On the other side, Xun Dong let out an angry roar, pushing Qiao Yu back.
Her black hair was disheveled, her beautiful face covered in various wounds, even one of her eyes was bruised.
Clearly, Qiao Yu had not held back.
"You forced me, you forced me! Insect Devour!"
