Chapter 40

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Vampires were much faster than these Mortal Body Rank-1 Awakened students. Before they could finish jumping, the vampire had already charged over, forcing the Awakening students to scatter and flee in different directions.

At this time, it was time to test their luck. Those who were unlucky would be slaughtered as food, and those who were lucky would at least live a little longer.

It was a cat-and-mouse game. No mouse dared to defy the forceful deterrence from the cat. The mice could only flee in a frenzy, waiting to be hunted by the cat. Once caught, the mice would become food for the cat.

The situation was one-sided. Ling Yichen was somewhat tempted. If he could lure the vampire to a spacious field, it would be very beneficial to his operation.

However, the vampire was still playing a game of cat-and-mouse in the school building. It was not time for Ling Yichen to make a move yet.

After the vampire killed six more people, the remaining Awakened students in the teaching building had all jumped off the building to escape.

At that moment, Ling Yichen’s eyes lit up. Coincidentally, the vampire’s current position was very close to the shadow spider web that the Hidden Shadow Spider had set up, which was located at the door of a classroom.

This door was open, and there was a huge shadow spider web on the door frame. It was illusory and unclear.

Of course, if one took a closer look, they would be able to tell the difference. However, the vampire’s vision was red, as if it was wearing a pair of red sunglasses.

At that moment, a Mortal Body Rank-2 Black Iron Armor flew in from the opposite classroom window. It used the [Barbaric Charge] and [Hardening] skills when it approached the vampire.

When it used the [Hardening] skill, the weight of the Black Iron Armor would increase. This would affect its flight trajectory and speed, so Ling Yichen chose to use it at the last moment.

The sudden attack simply knocked the vampire into the door. This also caused the vampire to be stuck to the spider web!

The vampire was still in a daze. At the same time, it was struggling frantically.

After all, it was a vampire at Mortal Body Rank-3. It struggled crazily and simply pulled the door frame down!

The spider webs of the Hidden Shadow Spider were very tough and sticky. It was not so easy to break free or destroy them. However, the door frame as an accessory was not so sturdy.

Ling Yichen did not expect the trap to be able to restrain the vampire completely. As long as the spider web was attached to the vampire, it would be a form of restraint.

The vampire shook off the spider webs on its body. The Barbaric Charge from the Black Iron Armor had indeed hurt it, but it was not fatal. With its recovery ability, it could recover quickly. Moreover, it had just consumed some blood to accelerate its recovery speed. Given some time, it would be able to recover. However, the wood on the door frame was still stuck to the vampire’s body through the spider web. It gave the vampire an uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling.

Hence, the vampire targeted the Black Iron Armor that gave him such treatment. The Black Iron Armor was smart enough to run away immediately. It would escape toward wherever it came from.

The vampire ran out as well. However, the spider silk on its body would occasionally stick to the walls, tables, and chairs around it. The vampire made a difficult decision and threw all the spider silk that could not be seen clearly onto its body.

When the vampire ran out of the school, it could still see some students in the distance running toward the school gate.

The Black Iron Armor did not keep flying. Instead, it landed in the opposite direction where the field was. Its mission was to lure the enemy in. If the enemy could not even touch it, how could it lure the enemy?

The vampire looked around as if it was trying to decide which side to go.

In the end, the vampire gave up on the Black Iron Armor and chose to chase the Awakened students who were running toward the school gate.

Actually, it was an easy choice. The vampire had a brain that it could use to think. The vampire knew that the Black Iron Armor could fly. Now that it had landed on the ground, it seemed to be helping the humans escape. If the vampire chose the Black Iron Armor, the vampire might not be able to kill it. He might as well choose the weaker human Awakened ones on the other side.

Then, Ling Yichen sighed. However, it was nothing. The space between the teaching building and the school gate was already very big.

“Let’s get into action.”

With a command, all the insects lying in ambush jumped out. The Golden-Backed Saber Mantises, which were ready to attack, were the first to rush forth, followed by the flying Black Iron Armors.

The vampire felt as if it was facing a great enemy. This was something that it had never felt before when facing the Awakened students. This sense of danger was something that the humans could not bring the vampire.

Ling Yichen also jumped down from the teaching building. With his physical strength, jumping down from the fourth floor was nothing. The Mountain-Splitting Ax and a dagger appeared in his hands again.

The vampire’s pupils were constricted. This human gave it a sense of danger that it had never felt before. This human was much stronger than the enemies in front of it!

Meanwhile, the Awakened students in the distance had also noticed the commotion. Some of them turned around to take a glance and were instantly shocked.

This was a terrifying number of monsters. Watching it live was much more shocking than watching a video on their phones.

“Everyone, look! Those monsters are fighting!”

Upon hearing this, the Awakened students turned around one after another. Realizing that this was indeed the case, they hesitated for a moment before stopping.

“Is that person Ling Yichen? He’s so strong!”

“He’s at Mortal Body Rank-3… How did he break through so quickly in less than two days?”

“Did he cheat?”

“There are so many monsters… Is it alright even if his level isn’t high enough? Is he going to die?”

Currently, it was the third day of the apocalypse, which started at 12 noon on the first day. There was still some time before noon, so it was indeed less than 48 hours since the apocalypse started.

Such a rapid breakthrough made these students, who were only at Mortal Body Rank-1, doubt their lives. Were they really cultivating in the same apocalypse?

Wang Chengye, who had already removed his Rock Giant form, also stopped and put Wang Wang down from his shoulder.

“Son, run quickly. Why are you stopping?” Wang Wang was a little anxious. The father and son ran the furthest. His hearing was not as good as Wang Chengye’s, so he did not hear the students’ voices.

Wang Chengye shook his head and said, “That monster shouldn’t be a match for Ling Yichen. He controls too many monsters.”

Wang Wang looked over and gasped in shock. Among the insects, many of them were at Mortal Body Rank-2 like his son. The scale was truly shocking.

When he stopped, only then did Wang Chengye feel a sharp pain in his body. Although he was injured by the vampire’s attack when he was in the Rock Giant state, the injury still occurred on his body. Blood was still flowing out of the wounds, making him weaker and weaker.
