The End Of The World’s Poisonous Mom And Monster Baby - Chapter 117

Volume 2 Chapter 20 Failing through the lack of a final effort

The entire time travelling forward, Yan Qiyue’s face was exceptionally strange. He had a face that wanted to puke but couldn’t. Basically, it was extremely weird. Shao Qing continued travelling alongside him calmly and while doing so, she was also paying careful attention to the sounds in the vicinity.

The closer they were to the edge, the more cool-headed she became and the more cautious. The safest place is also the most dangerous in this situation.

Shao Qing gave Yan Qiyue a single reminder: “Make sure you’re alert. We will soon be leaving the forest. This is it’s final opportunity.”

Yan Qiyue nodded his head. He has had a lot of experience with people and naturally knew that a lot of people have fallen due to a lack of final effort and push. Since he hasn’t even grasped his love by the hand yet, he can’t let it end here.

Now that the two were almost at the edge, they will soon step out of the forest. Yet, they still couldn’t hear the creatures sound. Just when they thought the creature might have given up on them, the white big bug came drilling out underneath Yan Qiyue’s feet.

This time it has improved by a lot to go as far as not allowing Shao Qing to hear any sounds until it arrived underneath Shao Qing’s feet. If it were any other person, it would have probably succeeded in its ambush. However, Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue were alert the entire time. Naturally, they wouldn’t be easily sneak attacked. With a knife in hand, she cut towards the bug’s brain. The bug immediately lowered its head and threw its tail over like a whip and towards her wrist.

It was as if the knife was dancing within Shao Qing’s hand as it spun around and awkwardly stabbed towards the bug’s tail.

Steady and fierce, it penetrated the bug causing the bug’s tail to shrivel back in pain. Then it brought the knife along as it headed towards Shao Qing.

Shao Qing had no time to draw out the knife. Somersaulting backwards, she barely dodged the previous attack and have enough time to see that the bug’s tail had fiercely landed on the ground creating a hole.

At once, Yan Qiyue focused on the air around the bug causing it to be unable to move for a moment. Shao Qing’s fingernails stretched forward to capture the bug’s tail.

That greasy smooth sensation, even with Shao Qing’s nerve and tenacity, made her want to puke.

Thrusting her nails deep into the bug’s tail, milky white liquid immediately squirted out. Because of how tough and durable her nails were, they didn’t corrode at all.

The bug turned around and tried to bite Shao Qing and as a result, it was punched by Yan Qiyue in the face. Having a ball of atmospheric pressure on his palm, he smashed it into the bug then immediately following, the bug was tightly bound up by the vines that came burrowing out from the ground.

Hauling it by the tail, Shao Qing used her strength to tear the bug’s tail into two segments. It was split all the way up to the center.

It was in so much pain, it was writhing on the ground. Suddenly its entire body emitted a strange white light. In an instant, the vines were all dissolved. It’s lower half was all healed and it turned around and tried to escape.

Being beaten so badly, it now understood it really wasn’t Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue’s opponent. It wanted to give up on attaching Shao Qing’s outstanding body.

It wanted to run, but Shao Qing had no plans for it to run away. Who did it think she was? Just coming over and making a commotion then running? Where in the world could something that good happen?

Shao Qing coldly laughed but didn’t use her vines to stop it. With a wave of her hand, a few black cracks suddenly appeared by the white bug’s side.

The cracks were rather small, appearing like miniature versions of lightning. However once the cracks appeared and made contact with the big white bug’s body, the bug appeared to be torn by something. In a moment, it was torn into several chunks and was rolling around on the ground writhing in pain.

However, that creature had a tenacious vitality and still wasn’t dead. Moving its body to and fro, it’s lower half began slowly regrowing.

Seeing this, Shao Qing could tell that it’s fatal point must be located at its head. This must be why every time it was attacked at the head it would use it’s tail end to block.

As long as it’s head was fine, the tail end could regrow at any time. It made sense why it didn’t treat its tail with as much care. Just when the big white bug had regenerated it’s body, Shao Qing’s knife had already penetrated its brain.

Every time it regenerated its body, that was its weakest moment. Shao Qing’s guess was correct. Stabbing right at the center of the bugs head, just further by an inch was its crystal. With a thud the bug dropped to the ground its opened mouth full of sharp teeth. Stabbing it one more time, it went completely still. After a couple of seconds, it’s rigid body dissolved leaving behind a milky white crystal. The crystal was as big as a fist.

Shao Qing picked it up and used her powers to probe it and then tossed it towards Yan Qiyue: “There’s no way to absorb it. You can take it back for research.”

Just one stab and the big white bug was killed. Basically a spectator the entire time Yan Qiyue: ……

He had a shy feeling like he was being provided for~

Finally having the big white bug dealt with, Shao Qing let out a sigh of relief. But when they stepped out of the forest they were stunned.

This was absolutely not the route they had come from!

Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue span around. They have finally left but they had no idea where they currently were. “If we continue to move forward, there should be some signal. At that time, I can try to get in contact with Qiao Mo.” Yan Qiyue flicked on his radio transmitter.

Shao Qing nodded her head. At this time the skies were slowly starting to light up. The sun was already half-revealed on the east. Choosing a rather smoother-looking route to follow, they began to advance forward. But not even moving two steps, two people suddenly jumped out of the underbrush: “Stop right there! Did you guys just come out from the forest?”

The two people stood there holding on to their firearms. Shao Qing gave Yan Qiyue a look, hinting at him to not make any rash moves. Yan Qiyue immediately replied: “Yes, we just came out of the forest. Is there something the matter?”

The two people stared at each other, back and forth. Finally, after whispering for a while, one of them put away their gun and broke off into a run. The other person who was still pointing the gun towards them said: “Don’t make a move! My gun has no eyes!”

A flash of cold light went through Shao Qing’s eyes. No one has dared pointed a gun at her head before. Not to mention two people holding guns, even if there were four or five, Yan Qiyue and her could easily handle the situation. The only thing they were really scared of was the reinforcement.

Not out of Shao Qing’s expectations, after a little while, a small team was heading towards them. There were around eighteen of them. The leader was a man wearing dark coloured sportswear. His hand was holding an mp5 and he appeared around thirty.

Arriving in front of the two, he impolitely asked: “Did you two really come from the forest?”

Yan Qiyue nodded his head and replied: “I am from the Linchuan survivor base. We encountered some dangers inside the forest and got separated from our squad.”

That man nodded his head and spoke: “I am also no robber. Right now we are going inside the forest to go searching for something. You two follow us in. As long as we find the item we are looking for, I promise to allow you two to safely leave. Furthermore, we’ll even safe guard you back to Linchuan survivor base.”

Yan Qiyue’s expression could only be described with one word: unsightly. They had just left that place with great difficulty, but in spite of everything they have to go back?

He originally wanted to reject, but seeing the ominous glint within the leader’s eye, Yan Qiyue knew that if he dared to refuse, these people would definitely take action.

Moreover, he felt that these people definitely won’t release them once they found the item. At this time, Shao Qing gave a signal to Yan Qiyue. Understanding what she intended, he replied: “No problem, but you guys must guarantee our safety.”

The leader smiled: “Naturally. You can go to Henan survivor base and ask around. Who doesn’t know me, Mao Laosan? I am definitely a person who would keep their promise.”

Shao Qing snickered inside. A sincere honest person? She can clearly tell that this guy was conspiring. Once they found their item, they would definitely make a move on them.

They didn’t have a small number. If Shao Qing did this by force, both sides would definitely suffer. So rather than having both sides suffer, why not enter the forest and slowly think of a plan to torture them.

“Let’s have the two of you report your abilities and rank so we can all get to know each other better. This would make it easier to coordinate strategies during battle.” Mao Laosan said with a bright smile.
