Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 22 Super Soldier

Wen Lie and the ancient corpse stood face to face in the sand, with a space of about fifty meters between them. Zheng Zha and others stood not far away, facing the moonlight and looking at the place where the two were fighting.

Zheng Zha shouted, "Are you ready?"

Wen Lie waved his arm, and Zheng Zha immediately understood what he meant and conveyed the battle order to the ancient corpse through his thoughts.

At Zheng Zha's instruction, the ancient corpse pounced on Wen Lie.

It looked like a vicious dog that hadn't seen a bone for a long time, with an extremely ferocious aura.

Wen Lie could smell that foul odor, a mixture of corpse stench and mold, a cold, deathly aura, and an indescribable aura. Could it be murderous intent? Or should I use the word "evil spirit" to describe it?
The ancient corpse is obviously not an ordinary corpse. The evil aura alone can make ordinary people weak and lose their resistance. Fortunately, Wen Lie is now a substitute user.

Wen Lie raised his arm, and the long sword swept through the air. A white light suddenly appeared, and a bright sword light stretched out in front of him.

The ancient corpse's fists came to the door and hit the white line.

The white line sank into the ancient corpse's fist. After a flash, long and thin cracks could be seen appearing on the ancient corpse's fingers.

The ancient corpse's forward movement stopped, and Wen Lie also felt the force coming from the collision between the blade and the fist.

Very strong, his strength is the same as that of Zheng Zha in normal state who has unlocked the first-level gene lock. No, it is a little higher, comparable to himself who is using the substitute god Anubis.

Wen Lie drew his sword at the ancient corpse while trying to deduc its power.

His strikes were rhythmic and linked together, and the tip of the knife slashed at the ancient corpse's body in a tricky way, quickly and fiercely. This was the fighting style he learned from Zhao Yingkong.

In the days before departure, Wen Lie used his substitute, the god Anubis, to practice with Zhao Yingkong and Zheng Zha every day to learn their strength and skills.

Unfortunately, all he learned were Zhao Yingkong's assassination skills. After Zheng Zha activated the second-level gene lock, his power exceeded the learning limit of his substitute, the god Anubis.

Although Zhao Yingkong used a dagger, the ability of his stand-in, God Anubis, was too buggy. Although his growth potential was only C, he learned all of Zhao Yingkong's assassination skills and integrated them into his swordsmanship.

He coordinated his steps and movements, swinging his body like a professional boxer. If the ancient corpse was a snake, Wen Lie would be a cat. Within a few steps, the ancient corpse's fist could hardly touch Wen Lie.

In just a few seconds, the ancient corpse was stabbed more than a dozen times, and a large number of knife wounds appeared on its body.

Although the ancient corpse is quite powerful, his skills are just average, especially when it comes to fighting hand-to-hand with a blade, he is at a disadvantage. His only advantage is probably his physical strength.

Even the substitute, the god Anubis, found it difficult to cut his bones, and it was difficult to push him away even with a similar amount of strength. The ancient corpse relied on its strong toughness to withstand Wen Lie's slashing blows and throw punches.

The fist swung towards his face gathered a layer of wind pressure, preventing Wen Lie from breathing.

If this punch lands solid, someone will be killed.

Wen Lie took a big step to the side with his left foot, and with his left foot as the center, he rotated his body and nimbly went behind the ancient corpse.

The ancient corpse's fist hit the air, and the force of the fist shook the air, causing the sand on the ground to rise up.

Wen Lie, who was behind, chopped the long knife at the neck of the ancient corpse. He could feel the resistance when the extremely sharp blade cut through the skin. Wen Lie held the handle of the knife with both hands and pressed the blade down hard.

The blade broke through layers of muscle resistance and cut into the bones of the ancient corpse. The ancient corpse, which lacked agility, also wanted to turn around and fight back at this time.

"Break it for me!"

Wen Lie exerted all his strength, even leaning his body forward, the blade taking full support, and in one go, he severed the corpse's cervical vertebrae. The corpse's head rolled into the sand pit on the ground, and the body fell with it.

"Strong strength, superb defense, poor agility, and poor skills. Considered a super soldier."

Imorton can unleash power that exceeds Zheng Zha's. This ancient corpse looks like a military general, but in fact he is not even as good as a priest.

Compared to the growth-oriented C-level spell Red Flame, which has a power equivalent to that of a small ground-to-ground missile, this spell is not very good.

Perhaps due to the limitations of the corpse, there's no telling how long it can last, but if it can last until it's lifted, it would be a decent C-rank spell.

“…Dark Breath!”

Wen Lie took a breath and just as he finished speaking, he was about to put the blade back into the sheath when he heard Zheng Zha chanting a spell not far away.

Black mist-like tendrils stretched out and wrapped up the head and body of the ancient corpse. Two seconds later, the black mist tendrils dissipated, and the body and head of the ancient corpse were connected together, becoming complete again.

"Grave Digging and Resurrection consumed 20% of my vampire energy, and Dark Breath used 10% of my vampire energy. The effects of these two spells work very well together."

Zheng Zha and Qi Tengyi walked over with happy expressions on their faces.

The effects of Undead Invisibility and Corpse Flesh within 10 words are not very strong, but the effects of Grave Digger and Dark Breath within 20 words can indeed be rated as C-level spells.

"10%? If a stronger corpse also consumes this much, then this spell can be considered quite good."

Wen Lie crossed his arms over his chest, while his substitute, God Anubis, stood beside him with an unhappy expression.

Zheng Zha asked curiously, "What's wrong with your expression?"

Wen Lie said bluntly, "I suddenly feel so weak. It's hard to even kill a summoned beast."

Zhang Jie complained, "You're just a newcomer. Can you please not be so greedy? An ordinary reincarnationist might not be as strong as you even after going through four horror movies."

Zhan Lan smiled bitterly: "I feel like I've been implied."

Zhang Jie said loudly, "Don't be so sentimental. People like us are normal. Zheng Zha got a B-level side story in his first horror movie, and Wen Lie got the equivalent of a 2C-level prop in his first horror movie. In the terms of playing games, they are using cheats."

"Alas! I've been professionally matched to every horror movie, but what's the result?"

Qi Tengyi deeply agreed. His expertise was very useful in The Grudge and The Mummy 1. Doesn't he still have no power now?

Zheng Zha quickly clasped his hands together and begged for mercy.

Wen Lie sighed and interrupted the conversation between the few people.

"I mean, could you give me some buff spells? The Black Book of the Dead is so thick, so it can't just be Invisibility and Corpse Flesh that can buff, right? Isn't there also Anubis's Blade Curse?"

Zheng Zha smiled and said, "Come on, Qi Tengyi, take a look at the spells with less than 20 characters. There are also a few that can enhance your own side."

"Amplification spells, like Anubis's Blade Curse, increase the weapon's lethality. According to the description, it can inflict a curse on the blade that makes it more susceptible to harming creatures. Death Servant Cloak, the caster summons a purple shroud woven from pure death power to resist attacks. Accept Fate, grants immunity to fear. Flower of Immortality, enhances physical endurance."

Qi Teng searched over and over again and found four buff spells.
