551: Chapter 428 Light Gun 551: Chapter 428 Light Gun “Could this guy be the poisonous giant insect mentioned in the intel?”

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the silhouette in the distance shrouded by mist and the yellow fog near him.

These features matched exactly with what he had speculated earlier—it had to be that creature.

At that moment, a series of “wah wah wah” cries suddenly came from behind and wisps of yellow gas drifted over, enveloping him in the midst.

“Eh?

There’s another one?”

Zhang Xiaoman turned his head in surprise toward the direction of the sounds.

By now, the poisonous gases had already covered his surroundings.

According to the intel, the radius of these gases was roughly 200 meters.

Their toxin was incredibly potent, just a touch and one would dehydrate and die swiftly, turning into a mummified corpse.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaoman and the surrounding Star Guards were completely unaffected.

It goes without saying for the Star Guards, they weren’t living beings to begin with and naturally weren’t afraid of these deadly toxins.

Zhang Xiaoman, on the other hand, had the passive from the Morning Star Ring that made him immune to all poisoning effects, so he could also ignore them outright.

This was somewhat awkward.

The two colossal, meaty insects charged over with ferocity, yet their most adept abilities ended up entirely ineffective.

They probably had never encountered such a situation before and were at a loss for a moment.

The monster behind him had already closed the distance quickly, and Zhang Xiaoman saw a bulky, snow-white creature with numerous short legs moving rapidly towards him.

Its body was riddled with pore-like structures from which the yellow toxic gas was ejected.

Just the sight of this would be enough to make those who suffered from trypophobia feel nauseous.

Yet the ugliness of the insects didn’t stop there.

On the front of its body, it even had a face with wrinkled skin!

Right now, it opened its mouth wide, constantly shrieking, a whining and wailing like that of a crying baby.

Witnessing its form, Zhang Xiaoman felt incredibly disgusted.

He didn’t need to give any orders, as the Star Guards by his side had already charged at it.

The attackers were nine Star Knights clad in blue-purple armor.

They formed a charging formation and fearlessly met the oncoming monster.

Zhang Xiaoman noticed a faint golden glow emerging beneath their feet.

He glanced at the two Star Shining Saint Knights beside him and saw they also had similar rings of light under their feet, and so did he.

“Is this some kind of skill?”

He felt the changes emanating from his body; it seemed his strength had grown even more powerful than before.

He hurriedly opened his attribute panel and saw changes within.

His Constitution had increased to 27 points and his spiritual power had reached 18 points.

“So, the Holy Knight’s skill has added 5 points to both my Constitution and spiritual power, kind of like the aura skills in those games…”

Zhang Xiaoman was quite pleased with this ability.

A 5-point increase in Constitution and spiritual power was quite significant for him at this stage, especially since the skill affected the group.

The strength of the Star Guards would even be further enhanced due to the increase in his own spiritual power.

As he pondered, the battle on the other side had already been decided.

9 vs 1, there was hardly any suspense, it was simply a crushing defeat.

The large insect obviously wasn’t a melee combat type of opponent, and after being approached, it didn’t even manage to put up a decent fight.

Aside from writhing around, it could only let out pained screams.

Its face, which resembled a human’s, had a rather large mouth.

However, it seemed that there were no visible sharp teeth inside that mouth—it was purely for show.

Now, because the poison was ineffective, the large insect was simply being pummeled one-sidedly.

No matter how quickly its body’s pores opened and closed, no matter how much toxic mist it sprayed, everyone present was immune to the poisoning effects, so its efforts were futile.

“Why do I get the feeling that this guy actually came to give us a free kill?”

Zhang Xiaoman watched the large insect that had been getting hit ever since it rushed over and suddenly had this bizarre thought.

Finally, the stubborn insect seemed to realize that its attacks were ineffective.

With a dreadful scream, it turned around, preparing to flee.

It must be said, although it was constantly being beaten by the Star Guards, this creature’s vitality was genuinely formidable.

After taking so many hits, it still seemed as lively as a dragon.

When the monster tried to flee, a group of Star Guards relentlessly followed and jabbed it with their long spears.

But the creature was tough and had a thick layer of fat, which acted as the best shield; despite suffering so many spear attacks, it never fell.

Furthermore, with its dozen or so short legs alternating rapidly, it managed to escape dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.

It was at this moment that a Holy Knight beside Zhang Xiaoman made a move.

One of them suddenly reached into the void, and alongside a surge of golden light, a short spear composed of light appeared in his hand.

This spear was quite short, not even 50 centimeters long.

Compared to the two-meter-long spears of the Star Guards, it was practically a miniature toy.

The Holy Knight grasping the golden spear took a couple of steps forward, leaned slightly back, and then swung his arm with great force.

The small golden spear flew from his hand, heading straight for the large insect trying to flee.

Zhang Xiaoman watched the scene with anticipation, while also feeling curious about how powerful this seemingly miniscule spear could be.

The next moment, the small spear, which was condensed from light, began to grow in size the instant it flew out.

In just the blink of an eye, it had already surpassed the long spears held by the ordinary Star Guards.

With no sound of cleaving through the air, the golden long spear, like a pure energy body, silently covered the distance of several meters, and then impaled the large insect.

“Waah waah waah!”

The insect’s piercing scream rang out again.

At this moment, a giant golden long spear was firmly nailed into its body, pinning it to the ground.

Zhang Xiaoman looked over and saw that the spear had reached a length of over five meters, having increased tenfold in size during its flight.

“Huh?

This ability isn’t half bad.”

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the scene from afar, feeling quite astonished.

Just when he was in need of some effective means to deal with large creatures, such an ability had appeared—an unexpected gain.

When the Holy Knight used the golden long spear just now, he could even faintly sense some changes in Dark Energy coming from it.

Perhaps, this Skill held a hope of being unlocked after he went back.
