The enemy that blocked it was dead. The black-striped gray stone beetle let out an excited scream.
Then, it looked at its new enemy, Zhou Ping.
The black-striped gray stone beetle screamed and roared again, and it attacked Zhou Ping with its claws.
Zhou Ping raised his sword and blocked the claw.
Clang!
The sword and the claw collided. Zhou Ping felt the heavy force and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It was alright.
It was within an acceptable range.
He took a step forward and turned his body, borrowing the force to arrive beside the black-striped graystone beetle.
The sword in his hand slashed horizontally, slicing through the black-striped gray stone beetle's petrified skin.
With a muffled sound, the petrified skin was cut open, and the beetle's sharp claws left a wound on its body.
The beetle claw sword was an elite grade geno armament, after all. With Zhou Ping's own strength, even the black-striped gray stone beetle would find it hard to block such an attack.
This was the first time that the black-striped gray stone beetle had suffered any substantial damage. Its body shook, and it let out a sharp cry. Its movements became even more frantic.
Its two sharp front claws danced wildly and attacked Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping dodged the attacks while counterattacking.
The battle lasted for a moment, and many wounds appeared on the black-striped gray stone beetle's body.
Although the wound was not deep, there was a lot of dark green blood flowing out, dyeing its body dark green.
The Black-Patterned Graystone Beetle's movements were a little stiff and trembling after being continuously injured. Its attacks were no longer as violent as before.
It was also more convenient for Zhou Ping to dodge.
A moment later, he dodged a black-striped gray stone beetle's claw attack. The long sword pierced into its eye and into its head.
"Squeak squeak!"
The black-striped gray stone beetle shrieked sharply and fell to the ground. Its short legs kept twitching, and its vitality gradually dissipated.
Zhou Ping looked at the corpse on the ground and slowly exhaled. He dispersed his Black Iron Body.
In this battle, more than half of his ling power had been consumed, but the results were very fruitful.
He had killed four Kobolds and an elite beast.
As expected of me!
He was extremely powerful!
The dead black-striped graystone beetle flashed with white light. In the next moment, the white light condensed into a spirit crystal.
Unlike the Graystone Beetle, the Black-Patterned Graystone Beetle had condensed 20 Spiritual Crystals, which was 20 times more than the Graystone Beetle!
Not only that, a white ball of light floated out from its corpse and floated above it.
Inside the white ball of light was a set of gray armor that looked a little crude.
Zhou Ping's eyes lit up. Geno armament!
The chances of an elite beast dropping a normal grade geno armament were not low, but Zhou Ping was happy to see it drop on the first try.
Zhou Ping picked up the orb, and the information about the geno armament entered his mind.
This geno armament was called the gray beetle armor. It was made from the shell of a gray stone beetle.
It was a normal grade geno armament, and it only provided a decent amount of defense. It was not like an elite grade geno armament that could increase his power.
The style of this armor was also very simple. It only protected important parts such as the shoulders, chest, and knees. Most of the parts were empty.
Zhou Ping suspected that the armor was made of inferior materials.
No matter what, protecting the important parts could sometimes save a life.
After all, this was his first time killing an elite beast, so he didn't have high expectations.
It was fine as long as it could be used.
Previously, Zhou Ping's longsword, which had been augmented with the beetle's claws, was already somewhat difficult for his body to support.
But now, he had inscribed a transcendent gene, and his body had become much stronger.
In addition, this armor was only of ordinary quality and did not have much strength amplification. Zhou Ping could still add it on.
With a thought, he absorbed the gray beetle armor into his body. The armor turned into a shadow like the sword and floated around the gene strand.
Zhou Ping immediately felt that his defensive ability had improved to a certain extent.
However, his original defensive ability was already very strong, so this increase was not too great.
With a thought, Zhou Ping's armor appeared on his body, protecting his important parts.
Zhou Ping looked down.
Hmm…the style was a little ugly.
I'll change it immediately when there's a new one.
After that, Zhou Ping collected the black-striped shell on the back of the black-striped graystone beetles, and then went to collect the spirit crystals and gray stone armor of the other four graystone beetles.
Finally, he picked up the loot from the other four Kobolds.
Perhaps it was because these four dog-headed people had just come in not long ago, but their harvest this time was not very good.
In total, there were only 112 Spiritual Crystals and the same number of gray stone armors.
This made Zhou Ping's hopes of obtaining other rewards fall through.
However, in general, this harvest was more than what he had gained from killing the Graystone Beetles alone for a few hours.
He could barely accept it.
After putting away everything, Zhou Ping left the battle area.
…………
In the Gray Stone Forest, some distance away from the battle zone, Bertha Vimy looked behind her. Seeing that no one was chasing after her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she gritted her teeth and a ferocious expression appeared on her face. She gripped the longbow in her hand tightly.
"Damn humans! How dare you attack me! I can't let this go just like that!”
With a flip of her hand, a transparent crystal appeared.
This was a communication crystal, which could be bought in the shops in the cities of the Land of Origin. It required a lot of crystals and could be used to communicate within a certain range of the current city.
Bertha Vimi injected her spiritual power into the crystal. With a thought, the transparent crystal glowed with a white light.
White light flashed, and soon, a picture appeared in the transparent crystal.
It was a dog-headed man with black fur.
He looked at Bertha Vimy respectfully.
"Third Miss, why are you contacting me?”
Bertha Vimy gritted her teeth.
"My team was attacked! Everyone except me is dead.”
Hearing this, the dark-skinned kobold was stunned. His eyes widened.
"All dead? Where's Larkin? Is he dead too?"
"I told you, they're all dead!"
Bertha Vimy frowned and raised her voice impatiently.
The black skinned kobold quickly lowered his head.
"Yes, Third Miss! Did you encounter a team from some force?”
"No, there's only one human.”
"A human? Third Miss, isn't your training place in the Gray Stone Forest? How could a human have the strength to destroy your training team?”
The black skinned Kobold was dumbfounded.
"I also want to know! How do you do things? There was no information about this human in the information regarding the powerhouses of Sandstone City! You took my father's money, but you can't do anything! I'll tell my father about this!"
said Bertha Vimy angrily.
"Third Miss, please calm down…This is our fault. Please let us make up for this mistake.”
The black skinned kobold quickly said.
"Humph! I want revenge! I want to tear that human into pieces! Send more people! He's very strong. Don't let him escape!”
"Third Miss, don't worry. I'll immediately gather my men!”
The black skinned kobold quickly said.
"Humph! I'll wait for you here!"
The coldness on Bertha Vimy's face faded a little when she heard this.
She said slowly and then cut off the communication.
Looking at the transparent crystal, she remembered the humiliation she had suffered before. She gripped the longbow in her hand and gritted her teeth.
"Big Brother and Second Sister are doing very well. Why is it so bad when it comes to me?! Damn humans! Just you wait, I'll make you regret messing with me, Bertha Vimy!”
…………
Zhou Ping absorbed Spiritual Crystals as he traveled. There were a total of 130 Spiritual Crystals. It didn't take long for Zhou Ping to absorb more than 100 Spiritual Crystals.
At this moment, a bright white light flashed below the genetic chain in Zhou Ping's body.
The degree of tempering had already reached about 8%.
However, Zhou Ping realized that the efficiency of his absorption of Spiritual Crystals was getting lower and lower.。
Moreover, his body felt a faint pain.
Zhou Ping suspected that he had absorbed too many Spiritual Crystals in a short period of time and refined them too quickly, which led to this situation.
After all, other than him, which other probationary genetic warrior could absorb more than a hundred crystals in ten minutes to temper his gene chains?
If others knew about this speed, they would be scared to death.
Even if his absorption speed could keep up, his body would not be able to withstand such a tempering speed.
He had probably reached the limit of his short-term honing. If he continued honing his gene chains, he felt that his body might collapse.
He needed to slow down.
However, even if he didn't temper his gene chains, Zhou Ping could still continue to absorb Spiritual Crystals.
He had to charge the Evolution Cube to prepare for the next evolution of his Black Iron Body.
Zhou Ping estimated that the amount of spiritual energy needed to evolve from the Elite Gene to the Boss Gene was about 5,000 crystals.
The amount was ridiculously large.
However, there was no gain without effort.
A few thousand Spiritual Crystals in exchange for an evolution was a lucrative deal.
Zhou Ping absorbed another ten Spiritual Crystals. He suddenly thought of something and stopped.
Oh right, I've also provoked the consortium. Perhaps they're coming to find trouble with me. I have to leave some trump cards.
Zhou Ping glanced at the remaining 20 Spiritual Crystals and stopped absorbing them.
At the same time, he increased his speed and ran out of the Gray Stone Forest.
As long as he left the Gray Stone Forest, he could let the consortium search for him.
