Chapter 42 (1/2)

Chapter 42 – What Is The Enemy?

Yue Qiang did not know what Progress Points were used for. His own 97 Progress Points had come out of nowhere, which was why he didn’t mind it even after giving out 50 Progress Points. As the saying goes, easy come easy go, and since he was set on collecting info about the game, he didn’t think that trading the Progress Points for a strange book was a bad deal.

However, when he saw the number 0.3, he thought that there was a likelihood that he was duped.

These three enemies weren’t easy to deal with. Even though he lost almost no HP at all, his Stamina was completely depleted and he had to rely on his microing skills to at the end to finish the job. But after cleaning up a wave like this, he had earned less than half a Progress Point only? Really?

While pondering, Yue Qiang saw yet another two Zhao Soldiers at the edge of his screen running towards him. They wore the same panicked looks, but the degree of panic seemed far worse than the three escaping fellows from before.

Yue Qiang was currently standing at the center of three dead Zhao Soldier bodies, and appeared to be incredibly gaudy. The two Zhao Soldiers didn’t really seem to notice Yue Qiang and kept running – fleeing – without pause.

Yue Qiang hovered his cursor onto one of the Zhao Soldier’s heads to check their stats. This action would raw their attention, but he did it anyway since the two enemies were so terrified that running was the only thing left in their minds.

Character Name: Extremely Panicked Zhao Soldier

Cla.s.s: Soldier

There were many rows of attributes and skill descriptions just like what he had seen before. What’s different was that they had a new debuff called ‘Extreme Panic’.

Extreme Panic: This person is suffering from extreme panic, and their mind is extremely fragile.

The three dead Zhao Soldiers from before had also appeared to be very panicky, but these two new enemies seemed to be completely scared out of their wits.

Warily, Yue Qiang looked towards the duo’s backs, and just like before he discovered nothing whatsoever. He took a few steps forward, planning to kill one soldier and leave the other alive so he could utilize the dialogue system and question about the situation.

Both waves of enemies had appeared consecutively in the same panicked state. Something was obviously amiss.

He walked towards the front while holding a ‘Break Fist – Killing Style, One’ in readiness. His Stamina had recovered a little during this short period of time, and it was just enough for him to unleash the skill one time. He was just going to do just that when a strange noise resounded from his speaker.

The noise was very low-pitched, but it lasted a very long time.

He could distinguish that the source of the noise was incredibly far away, and yet he didn’t know how the noise had come to be.

It was a little like the boom of a thunder, and a little like the boom of a drum, and yet it wasn’t completely identical to either of his guesses either. In short, it was a very, very low-pitched kind of noise.

This wasn’t that the noise was so low-pitched that it could not be heard, but rather it was a frequency so low that it caused a person to feel impossibly irritated. It was like a tickler that tickled the sole of one’s feet until their very heart felt ticklish, anxious, and then irritation. The only noise Yue Qiang knew that could cause someone to feel as irritated as sitting of a carpet of needles was the ear-splitting noise of friction (T/N: something like the sound of fingernail sc.r.a.ping across a chalkboard), but he never thought that such a deep

and low-pitched noise could also cause the same extremely uncomfortable reaction.

As this particular noise resounded, the two Zhao Soldiers suffered a ma.s.sive shock as if they had seen the very end of the world. Their faces instantly turned pale white, and every muscle in their faces began to twist and tremble.

The noise continue to spread outward, causing the two Zhao Soldiers to grow even more terrified. They both pressed their hands on their heart and rolled continuously on the ground, crus.h.i.+ng many shrubs along the way. Then, the duo actually starting foaming at the mouth, and after a wave of intense seizure later, their legs straightened and they both died in unison!

They had actually died of fright!

Yue Qiang did not dare to act rashly now. He carefully swiveled his perspective and observed his surroundings carefully. At the same time, he controlled his character to hide behind a big tree.
