Chapter 1208.
After a set of the most basic maneuvers were rehearsed, Wang Chen was already sweating like a pulp.
When he was in the Haotian Realm, he had already practiced the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Corrective Technique to the level of the peak of the seventh layer, on the verge of breaking through the Immortal Realm.
And now that he had started practicing it again, it was naturally easy without any obstacles.
The energy from the three to four pounds of Gray Helmeted Bug meat was all consumed by Wang Chuan, and he clearly felt that his physique had been strengthened.
The effect was completely immediate!
It was a pity that the plug-in was blocked, and it was impossible to directly add points to break through the realm, cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Proper Method in this world could only rely on one’s own efforts to climb up step by step, there was no shortcut to take.
Nonetheless, Wang Chen still felt a great surprise.
His predecessor had been practicing physical arts and battle techniques, but these two belonged to the mass popularization type of knowledge and skills, and although the effect was good, it was far from being comparable to the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method.
Wang Chen knew that many of the Empire’s aristocratic gentry, as well as the Imperial Army and certain special departments, had more advanced and more powerful physical arts and battle techniques to pass on.
Only by entering within the high-level system and making enough contribution or dedication would it be possible to obtain the secret techniques.
The empire has always attached great importance to the breakthrough of individual strength, because only the strongest individuals can carry the most advanced mecha armament and sweep thousands of troops on the battlefield.
Physical skills, battle techniques, genetic enhancement, and awakening of superpowers all serve this purpose.
Wang Chen wanted to stand on the top of the Star Ocean so that he could return to Haotian, and following the conventional route of step by step advancement was too slow.
As a war orphan without any background power, this path was undoubtedly long and difficult for him, and also contained endless risks.
The current Wang Chen had already found a path of strength that truly suited him.
That was Spiritual Energy plus Body Refining!
Back in the shelter, Wang Dust reopened the surveillance camera and slept soundly with his backpack on his pillow.
By the middle of the night, the temperature of the outside world had dropped to the point of extreme cold, and there was also a gale, with quite a lot of sand particles drilling through the cracks of the rocks and into the hole in the ground.
It didn’t affect Wang Dust’s sleep in the slightest.
It was not until the next morning that the storm outside slowly stopped.
Waking up, Wang Dust ate some dry food for breakfast, then pushed open the rock at the entrance of the cave that served as the gate and swept out.
The sky of Planet FT1205 was still gray with a tiresome sandy yellow color, and the surrounding area was a barren Gobi Desert with no life in sight.
But last night’s experience told Wang Chen that not only were there a large number of creatures on this planet, but it was also very dangerous.
He climbed to the top of the mountain and launched a search along the steep ridge.
The little breakfast he had eaten earlier was quickly digested in Wang Chuan’s stomach, making him miss yesterday’s worm meat.
It was so delicious!
In fact Wang Dust before last night wasn’t prone to getting hungry so quickly, after all, the dry food configured for the candidates were in high quantities.
However after restarting his cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Orthodoxy, his appetite had apparently increased in tandem with his physique!
Wang Chen wanted to eat again.
The single ration was really boring, what he needed was food that was truly delicious and brought fresh energy.
Wang Dust’s gaze was like a falcon’s as he carefully searched the rolling hills through his goggle lenses.
Any suspicious place, he had to carefully observe it several times.
The gauntlet was equipped with very powerful and many visual lenses, and was able to switch between different working modes, which helped Wang Dust a lot in searching for targets.
After more than an hour, Wang Dust found a cave hidden in the mountain.
The cave was in a very hidden location, and the entrance was slanted, not very large in size, but perfectly capable of accommodating alienated creatures like the Gray Helmeted Beetle to enter and exit.
Wang Dust found some traces of fresh claw marks near the cave entrance.
All signs indicated that this cave was in all likelihood the lair exit of the alienated creature.
Intuition told Wang Dust that it was most likely the lair of the Gray Helmeted Beetle.
Could that be the nest of the group of Gray Helmeted Beetles that migrated last night?
Wang Dust didn’t rush into the dark cave.
He took off one of the smoke bombs hanging on his belt, pulled the safety ring, and then threw it into the cave.
All of the candidates carried two smoke bombs, two flashbangs, and two concussion bombs, and as far as personal equipment was concerned, it was basically the standard equipment of the most common soldiers in the Imperial Army.
Except for the fact that the main weapon was a longsword, not an assault rifle!
And the rational use of these special non-lethal throwing weapons was where the candidates’ performance points lay.
After Wang Dust cast the smoke bomb, a crackling and crashing sound could be heard coming from the hole, and it was clear that the thing was falling down continuously, at a depth of at least a few dozen meters.
After a few minutes, a wisp of smoke emerged from the cave entrance.
Wang Dust, who was guarding the mouth of the cave, listened carefully and heard a rustling sound faintly coming from below.
There was something inside this cave!
Wang Dust immediately dropped a second smoke bomb and then delivered a concussion bomb.
The concussion bomb was not an anti-personnel weapon, but after its explosion, it would produce a strong shockwave, which could have the effect of deterring the enemy.
Wang Dust hoped that this concussion bomb could enrage the alienated creatures that were entrenched in the depths of the cave.
The facts proved that his method was correct.
After only another minute or two, a Gray Helmeted Beetle emerged from the cave entrance with smoke.
Before this fellow could react, Wang Dust, who had ambushed him, raised his hand and dropped his sword, decapitating him bluntly!
The Gray Helmeted Bug was killed on the spot.
Wang Dust lifted the alienated creature’s carcass out of the cave with a pick of his sword blade.
He then kicked the head of the beetle that had just landed on the ground, kicking the latter back into the cave with uncanny accuracy.
Regardless of whether the gray-helmeted beetles in the cave were intelligent or not, they were completely enraged.
Accompanied by a creepy clicking sound, one Gray Helmeted Beetle struggled to climb to the cave entrance and desperately drilled out, actually creating a congested appearance.
How could Wang Dust, who was standing guard here, miss such a good opportunity, and immediately swung his longsword repeatedly, killing each and every one of these alienated creatures that clearly had little brains.
The biggest weakness of the Gray Helmeted Armor Bug was the soft membrane covered gap between the armor shells, as long as the sword blade could chop at this position, it could slice off the Gray Helmeted Armor Bug’s head and limbs in a hard way.
Wang Dust guarded the entrance of the cave, his swords were fast, accurate and ruthless, and in just a few minutes, he actually cut down fifteen Gray Helmeted Armor Bugs!
However, after he cut off the head of the fifteenth Gray Helmeted Beetle, no new beetles emerged.
The Gray Helmeted Beetles in the cave seemed to have gotten smarter, and no longer continued this brainless behavior of purely giving away bug heads.
Then Wang Dust quickly realized that he was surrounded.
There was clearly more than just one exit from the Gray Helmeted Beetle’s nest!
