Chapter 22

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Passive Skill: The Antlion Guard possesses a robust crystal shell that can regenerate instantly at the speed of a cheetah when attacked. In case of a powerful physical attack, new tentacles will grow rapidly on the affected area. These tentacles can be used as an attack after 30 seconds. However, if the spike is destroyed within 30 seconds, the crystallized skin will stop growing.

If the crystal is attacked by potent magical attacks, the regeneration speed will be slowed down. If the attacked part is hit by a physical attack during this period, the crystal will not regenerate.

Moreover, the antlion guard will launch an automatic, random, and lethal attack at the caster of the spell.]

As soon as the passive skill was revealed, everyone realized that this so-called guard was nearly invincible. They lacked powerful physical attacks, and their magic attacks would put them in the range of a terrifying killing skill. A single mistake could mean instant death. No one dared to take that risk or even use magic to attack.

However, Bai Han noticed a fatal weakness that no one else had: the guard had not considered the power of his Vampiric Void staff. Although it seemed impossible to defeat the guard with normal attacks, with perfect teamwork from the four of them, it could be done.

“Listen up, everyone. We need perfect cooperation now!” Bai Han shouted.

When he said this, the guard in front of him roared and rushed over!

As soldiers with military ranks and special forces training, the two gunmen could easily turn around and dodge, but it was obvious that an ordinary girl like Lin Yuwei, however, struggled to avoid the attack.

“We can’t work together like this. Everyone’s ability is different!” Lin Yuwei complained.

“I know. That’s why I have a presumptuous request.” Bai Han replied in an instant.

Lin Yuwei gazed at Bai Han with a mix of irritation and discomfort as he looked at her in a lecherous manner. Meanwhile, the guard next to her shook his head due to the impact of a collision and readied himself for the next attack. Adding to their troubles, an endless swarm of ordinary ant lions emerged from the massive gully.

“Seriously! Mr. Bai, can you focus a little?”

“What do you know? They must be undergoing some relatively powerful skill awakening! Have you forgotten how the two of us got our current equipment?”

Sanderson quickly understood Bai Han’s statement about skill awakening and how they obtained their current equipment. In response, Bai Han and Lin Yuwei embraced each other intimately amidst the swarm of monsters.

Previously, they had only hugged from behind or held hands, but now they could feel each other’s body temperature and their eyes met.

“Hurry up and get out of the way!” Simon quickly warned the two people who were hugging passionately!

“Hold onto me tight!” Bai Han instructed Lin Yuwei as they rolled over like a warm oil tank.

Suddenly, a familiar voice from the notification system sounded. It was a voice that they hadn’t heard in a long time.

[Ding! Ding! Congratulations! You have become more intimate with Lin Yuwei, and the enhancement effect has increased greatly!]

[Obtain special buffs according to the buff effect! You will also receive a special protection time!]

[Special Buff: When two people use the same type of skill at the same time, the damage effect and characteristic effect of the skill will be increased by 100%. When two people use normal attacks at the same time, if the two people’s normal attacks are on the same target, the damage will be increased by 100%.]

[Special Protection Time: When two people hug or hold hands, they will be invincible for 30 seconds! If the two of them hug face to face, the invincibility time will be doubled!]

[Current Attribute Enhancement Effect: All attributes increased by 30%, Luck increased by 40!]

Just by hugging each other face-to-face, Bai Han’s Awakened Skill received an even stronger buff, granting him two more impressive skills. However, these skills required specific conditions to be obtained, such as attacking the same target simultaneously or hugging and holding hands at the same time, requiring perfect coordination. While their abilities were stronger, the requirements for them were also higher.

In this critical moment, the two of them came up with a brilliant solution. “Special forces, the rest is up to you! We will combine physical attacks with our skills,” they declared.

Now, they could even use each other’s skills to their advantage. Lin Yuwei’s Magic Crossbow could be loaded with True Damage Bolts and charged up to attack, with this skill effect being attached to the Vampiric Void Staff. Meanwhile, Bai Han could use a charged-up skill to deal very high magic damage to the target. The two of them complemented each other, with Lin Yuwei’s Crossbow providing Lifesteal as well.

After a brief moment of preparation, the two of them had charged up their power. A massive magic energy ball and a fast arrow were launched toward their target simultaneously.

“Time is now! It’s our only option! Otherwise, we’re done for!”

As they spoke, Lin Yuwei felt an overwhelming warmth spread through her body. Bai Han no longer resembled an inexperienced child; a powerful pink barrier enveloped them both, forming an invincible shield.

At that moment, their magic attacks struck the guard simultaneously. The two waves of magical energy collided with the guard, causing it to become as furious as Godzilla. It activated all of its power and rushed toward the pair with a deafening roar.

“Roar! Roar!”

The ant lion guards’ speed was so fast that it was almost invisible, making it impossible to catch it.

“Bang!”

The resulting impact caused a massive explosion, sending sand flying high into the sky like a tornado. The two powerful forces wreaked havoc on the antlion’s nest, leaving behind a trail of antlion corpses.

After some time had passed, there was no longer any movement around them. Simon and Sanderson were buried under rocks and sand, but they quickly found cover to hide and utilize their special forces training to tear apart the rocks and escape.

The sight before them left them shocked. This was perhaps the true face of what they had never witnessed in their special forces training.

“Don’t just stand there, attack!”
