"Ha, so I'm useless to you now, that should be my line!"
Higgsman sneered in fury.
He had just been interrupted by Zhang Chen, inexplicably answered a question, and then was mocked by Zhang Chen.
How could he tolerate this?
Back when he was a slave, being bullied by the strong was one thing.
Now that he was finally strong, was he going to be bullied by these spoils of war?!
Higgsman was racking his brain for some harsh words that would make him sound imposing...
But before he could finish formulating them, he suddenly noticed Zhang Chen's body gradually becoming transparent... and finally disappearing?!
What's going on?
Invisibility?
Is the talent awakened by this guy's promotion to a Transcender a special talent?
If he had such a talent, he wouldn't have been captured and abused at will by the strong. kanshu伍.ξà
No wonder this brat is so arrogant, he actually has a way to escape!
Everyone, be on guard, this kid can turn invisible!
Big guy! Take that little girl hostage, and I don't believe he won't show himself!
Higgsman shouted.
In the apocalypse, threatening other survivors with the lives of their teammates was a very effective method.
Many camp leaders, out of so-called loyalty or affection, eventually laid down their weapons and were slaughtered.
The camp Higgsman belonged to previously was defeated by the Soul Organization using this tactic.
Originally, the camp leader was an intermediate Evolver, with exceptional strength.kanδん
He gave up resisting simply because his woman was taken hostage.
Before he died, he personally witnessed his woman being harassed by members of the Soul Organization, and all the camp's people were reduced to slaves.
This was the consequence of acting on emotion.
Now Higgsman was putting his learning into practice, intending to use this trick against Zhang Chen.
He wanted to retaliate against others with the pain that the strong had inflicted upon him, to satisfy his own perverse pleasure!
Big guy, I'm calling you, why aren't you speaking?!
Higgsman turned his head towards the direction of the big guy.
He saw Xiao Bai riding on the big guy's shoulder, her snow-white legs tightly wrapped around the big guy's neck.
The big guy's face was flushed red from the constriction, unable to utter a single sound.
His hands desperately reached upwards.
However, Xiao Bai's seemingly fair and slender arms suddenly exerted force, twisting the big guy's wrists.
Despite the pain causing him to break out in a cold sweat, the big guy still couldn't make a sound.
What... what is this situation?
How can this girl... be so strong?!
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Higgsman, and an ominous aura enveloped his entire body.
Roar!
Over a dozen Transcenders with transformation-type talents let out strange cries, growing thick fur on their bodies and lengthening their nails, transforming into half-human, half-beast monsters.
Transformation talents were one of many common types among Transcenders.
Survivors possessed different abilities based on the forms fused within their talents.
However, most transformation talents were considered ordinary, not even rare, ranking at the bottom among Transcenders.
In fact, from the Transcender stage onwards, the development ceiling for survivors was largely fixed.
If one awakened a trash talent, even if they were at the same level as others, they would be easily defeated.
Only by diligently leveling up and gaining a significant level advantage could they barely maintain some survivability.
Conversely, survivors with powerful talents, even if slightly lower in level, could defeat higher-level survivors by surpassing their ranks.
And their strength would also greatly increase as they leveled up.
As for dual talents, there was no need to even mention them; they were clear templates for powerhouses.
Roar~
Er Pang also let out a roar.
Following that, twenty adult Howling Moon Wolves, of enormous size, slowly emerged from the shadows.
Twenty energy beasts against over a dozen transformation-type Transcenders.
Brothers, charge! They are outnumbered, we outnumber them, can't we still handle these fat sheep!
Higgsman roared, then pushed two women beside him forward, while he himself hid in the crowd.
Pfft!
Blood splattered!
Higgsman barely saw how the two women died.
He saw Zhang Chen appear in his original position, holding a serrated long blade, radiating power like a descending god of war!
The two instantly killed women turned into a mist and vanished.
Automatic... collection? The ability of special core crystals possessed by extremely few organizations?!
Is this guy also a leader of an organization?!
In an instant, Higgsman's mind was filled with scenes of the Soul Organization brutally slaughtering survivors.
Thinking of this, his legs went weak, and he stumbled.
At this moment, more Transcenders charged forward.
They knew very well that this battle was about their freedom.
If they failed, they might be locked up in sewers like livestock again.
Therefore, they had to win!
This time, two Transcenders with ice-type talents charged up.
[Howling Gale]: Blows out a fierce gale to slow the opponent's movement speed and cause cold damage!
[Rapid Freeze]: Consumes a large amount of core crystals to rapidly lower the temperature around the target, with a high probability of freezing the target and encasing their body in ice!
The two cooperated seamlessly, first slowing him down, then freezing him.
They directly froze Zhang Chen in place.
Success, he's dead for sure now!
That's right, a frozen person is defenseless!
The two ice-type Transcenders smiled slightly and casually condensed an ice cone, hurling it at Zhang Chen.
[Soul Burn] Level 7!
[Divine Burn] Activated!
[Darkness Drain] Activated!
[Frenzied Slaughter] Activated!
With a boom!
A powerful gust of air emanated from Zhang Chen's body.
Then, a scorching energy field, invisible to the naked eye, surrounded him.
As the ice cone flew close to Zhang Chen.
In an instant, it was melted by Divine Burn, turning into steam and dissipating.
[Howling Gale]!
They intended to repeat their tactic.
But they suddenly discovered that the cold wind they blew out was instantly dispersed within a radius of about ten meters around Zhang Chen.
[Flash Step]!
Zhang Chen flickered to their side, and his Thousand Bone Blade swung lightly.
The two turned into a mist and vanished on the spot.
Ice-type talents are quite interesting!
In the face of absolute power, even special talents are just a joke.
Suddenly, a black energy was absorbed from Zhang Chen's body and transferred to a middle-aged woman in the distance.
[Darkness Steal]: Steals a certain percentage of the target's attributes to enhance oneself, lasting until the end of the battle!
Heh, darkness talent, coincidentally, I know a little about darkness talents too!
Zhang Chen smiled slightly and raised his hand towards the woman.
Then, the woman began to twist in pain, her skin rapidly aging and shrinking at a visible rate, eventually turning into a withered husk and falling to the ground.
Immediately after, a dark red energy slowly peeled away from the woman's body and flew into Zhang Chen's palm.
[Life Siphon]!
