Chapter 700 The apprentice returns to the master

Du Lili's Queen Guard did not have the skills and skills of Ma You and her, so they could not jump to the back of the flying insect; however, their tactical purpose was to attract the attention of the flying insects, and they just needed to ride the mutant horse to attack outside the city. The mutant horses they rode were tall, strong, mighty, and galloping like flying. They could rush left and right in the siege of the guards, making it difficult for the latter to intercept.

More than ten people in the Queen's Guard rode these luxurious animals. Under the leadership and protection of Ma Youhe, they broke through the encirclement without any danger and headed south.

The guard worms on the ground were unable to catch up, while nearly a thousand sparrow worms in the air were chasing them and diving from time to time to attack.

"Swish", a sparrowworm swept by, lifting a member of the guard off the horse's back and tearing it into two sections in the air.

"Swoosh", all the other Queen Guard members shot arrows at the murderous sparrow bug together. Their arrows were attached with explosive devices, which would automatically explode as long as they hit the target.

After a loud bang, the sparrow worm that committed the murder was blown to pieces.

"If you dare to touch one of us, we will respond with 10 people; if you dare to kill one of us, we will fight with the strength of the whole city." This is the creed of Licheng people writing into the "Citizen Code". Under the leadership of Du Lili's powerful mental control ability, Licheng people think and act like a family. The degree of unity in the whole city is far beyond that of other settlements. This super strong unity is also an important basis for Licheng as a survivor force with women as the main body, which can gain a foothold in the cruel apocalyptic environment without advanced weapons and equipment and technology.

The smoke of the explosion had not yet dissipated, and dozens of sparrowworms flew over the head. Although the members of the Queen Guard were fierce, the Star Soul level was only level 4 after all, and the strength gap was large in front of this group of flying insects with a large number of level 5 star souls. They worked together to shoot one of them to death, but they were bombarded by them.

Ma Youhe, who was rushing in front, saw the danger of the girls, quickly turned his horse's head and created an energy field to protect the girls. Ma Youhe and others rode their horses to confront more and more sparrow insects through the energy field.

Suddenly, a thick and long tentacle popped out from the ground, stopping the mutated horse in the galloping.

"Pu" and the horses and the women on the horse's back fell to the ground one after another. One female guard was hit by a mutant horse and died on the spot; another female guard broke his right leg; the other female guards were slightly injured. Only Ma Youhe flipped a few fights in the air and landed steadily. His attention was focused on the energy field that blocked the flying insects in the air, and he had no time to take care of the ground.

The surviving women quickly stood up and formed a tight formation to fight back against the insects.

The ground trembled, and more than a dozen large cracks were cracked. The tentacles that had just knocked down the horses appeared again, and they were pointed in the air like a python or a giant caterpillar and sniffed them.

"Don't be afraid, there is only one tentacle, let's work together to cut it off!" The leader of the Queen's Guard Group 1 motivated the girls.

Before she finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared under her feet, and another thick tentacle appeared. Then, amid the successive screams of the women, more than a hundred tentacles emerged, forming a terrifying tentacle jungle.

These tentacles are uneven in thickness, but each one is more than 20 meters long, and they are in a consistent step and closely coordinated. They are obviously all affiliated with the same creature - what a terrible existence this creature hiding underground would be!

"Omg!" The women looked at the terrifying tentacles and stepped on the soil that was being tilted under their feet. They were all shocked and retreated continuously.

Ma Youhe sighed. He felt the extremely powerful energy and deterrence of the masters of these tentacles, which was definitely not something he could compete with. "It seems that I, Ma, will be buried here today. I am not willing to die. Unfortunately, I failed to lure the flying insects out of Licheng."

The owner of the tentacle is undoubtedly a Zerg, and is a high-level existence that is no less than that of the Zerg King. This can also be proved by the orderly respectful performance of other insects nearby ground and in the sky. They are like the lively Chinese passers-by, automatically forming a large circle with a diameter of more than 100 meters, keeping on the sidelines, waiting to watch the wonderful performance of the super tentacle monster.

"Crash", more than a hundred tentacles suddenly shaking and swaying in the wind, and followed the crowd and horses in the circle.

Ma Youhe tried his best to barely block the first round of attacks from the tentacles and temporarily protected the girls; but the horses were entangled by the tentacles and were ripped open in just a few dozen seconds, causing their tendons to be broken, and their bones were sucked to the point where they were all left. Some were even pulled into the cracks of the ground.

"Puchi", the female team leader couldn't bear the fear and nausea and vomited wildly. The other women also had similar symptoms.

At this critical moment, a ball of light fell from the sky, breaking into the terrifying death net formed by more than a hundred tentacles, and releasing a powerful momentum to blow the tentacles around. Then the ball of light began to flash quickly in various positions. Every time it flashed, a tentacle was cut off or turned dry and weak. With a few loud bangs, all the tentacles on the surface retracted to the ground. The tentacle monster temporarily disappeared.

The light ball flew up and down in the air, and wherever it passed, sparrow bugs fell in groups. In less than a minute, nearly a thousand sparrow bugs chasing Ma Youhe and others were destroyed to only a hundred and ten. The remaining sparrow bugs all moved and had a gentle attitude, and were tamed by the light ball.

//////////////

The light ball that defeated the tentacle monster and sparrow insect dissipated, revealing a tall young man - Lin Zaishan. He had been dealing with the various insect kings that followed one after another, and he was only free at this moment. In the past midnight, he killed at least 5 insect kings and harvested all of them and their elite guards' star souls.

Lin Zaishan, who had just freed up his hand, noticed the dangerous situation of Ma You and the girls, and rushed to rescue him immediately. The tentacle insect monster belonged to the seventh-level star soul and the ninth-level form. It was far stronger than Lin Zaishan in basic attributes, but the latter mastered the elusive star soul encoding technology and eventually drove the former away. As for more than a thousand sparrow insects, it may be very difficult for others, but for Lin Zaishan, their various means, including mental disturbance ability, are all pediatrics. He killed while harvesting their star souls, and used the recoded star souls to control the remaining more than a hundred.

"Savior!" The girls rushed up together and begged Lin Zaishan and said, "Please save Licheng!"

"The high-level insects that besieged Licheng have been killed or driven away by me. Now is the time when the insect swarm has the weakest combat power, and you can easily break through."

"Okay." The female guards immediately reported the situation to Du Lili with a communicator.

"Oh? There is such a strong man? Is it a man or a woman?"

"It's a young man."

"Is Lin Zaishan?" Du Lili's tone immediately became excited.

"It's not Captain Lin's face, but his size and figure are very similar."

"You guys quickly invite him to Licheng! By the way, Mr. Ma is fine."

The female guard passed Du Lili's order to Lin Zaishan. The latter refused: "I still have many people to go to rescue and have no time to meet your Queen. Please be sure to seize the window period when the group of insects is headless, break through quickly, and remember: be sure to break through to the direction of Zhongcheng. Except for Zhongcheng, other areas in China have basically been occupied by Zergs. Even if they are not occupied, it is difficult to resist the insects for a long time."

"Savior, can you leave your name?"

"You just need to know that I am from the Fearless Team." Lin Zaishan waved his hands at the girls, and then gave a look at Mr. Ma. The latter immediately understood and followed Lin Zaishan to a secluded place.

//////////////

"Old Ma, don't be fine!" Lin Zaishan stopped and bowed to Ma Youhe to say hello.

"Are you really Kobayashi?" Ma Youhe had long guessed the true identity of the "savior", but she was not sure.

"That's right." Lin Zaishan immediately changed back to his original appearance.

Ma Youhe looked up and down carefully, held Lin Zaishan's shoulders, and said with tears in his eyes: "Okay! That's great! Xiaolin, you have gone through hardships and dangers, not only can you save your life, but your strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. What's more rare is that you still maintain a righteous spirit. China has you, China has a great fortune; Earth has a great fortune!"

"I miss you all the time these days." Lin Zaishan couldn't help but burst into tears.

After a while, the two of them calmed down. They didn't even bother to reminisce about this situation, but just communicated briefly.

Lin Zaishan said: "Old Ma, can I allow me to use Star Soul technology to help you?"

"As long as I can make my old bone better utilize my remaining heat and save more people, you can do whatever you want!"

Lin Zaishan was no longer polite and immediately conducted a star soul exploration and analysis on Ma Youhe. He found a very interesting phenomenon: in terms of star soul level, Ma Youhe is only at the early stage of level 4, but in terms of comprehensive strength, he is equivalent to the middle stage of level 5. Ma Youhe has no obvious superpowers, but his star soul energy is very powerful.

"Kobayashi, what's wrong with me?"

"It's not weird, but magical." Lin Zaishan pondered for a few seconds. "The superpowers in the end of the world are based on the star soul gene and the star soul code; but your star soul gene is almost no different from the normal humans before the end of the world, and obviously you have never used the star soul code or so-called spells. If you don't have such strong combat power, it would be impossible for someone else to have such strong combat power."

"My combat power can be explained by qi."

"Qi?" Lin Zaishan carefully savored the ancient term that he had almost forgotten in the past period of time, and suddenly said excitedly: "I understand! Mr. Ma, although your star soul gene has not mutated, you still accidentally mastered and used dynamic star soul codes and developed a unique ability, which might as well be called Qi Sensing Power."

"Then do I have room for improvement? You know, I have recently felt that practicing with the sense of energy is no longer enough to stimulate potential. My abilities have encountered a bottleneck that cannot be broken through with my own strength."

"Ma Lao, the bottleneck you are facing is not caused by your personal ability; it is related to your cultivation method. The traditional Qi Sensing cultivation method is probably equivalent to a certain dynamic star soul code. It can stimulate effects similar to special star soul genes and other functions under the conditions of sufficient external vitality, that is, keen perception, super physical energy and powerful energy field. However, since there is no support from the inner star soul gene, this Qi Sensing superpower state will be easily controlled by the internal and external vital energy reserves, and the vital energy reserves are always limited. Therefore, you will encounter bottlenecks."

"So how to break through the bottleneck?"

"The easiest way is to transplant some star soul genes for you and tell you some star soul codes. In this way, you can achieve the dual cultivation and development of star soul and qi sense."

"Oh? This should be the legendary technical essence of dual cultivation of life. Kobayashi, don't have any worries, just treat me as a big white rat and conduct various experiments with confidence!"

"Okay, Mr. Ma, just wait and experience the feeling of being a god." Lin Zaishan was already familiar with the Star Soul Gene Technology at this time and had already prepared several sets of transformation plans suitable for different groups of people. Based on Ma Youhe's individual situation, he adjusted the technical details of the plan and then decisively implemented it.

Ten minutes later, the upgrade and transformation of Ma Youhe was completed. Lin Zaishan smiled and said, "Old Ma, I have configured a lot of superpowers for you without consent. Considering your habits, these superpowers are all based on Qi. Please taste them."

Ma Youhe Qiyun's palm spit out quickly. His palms spewed out powerful energy beams, knocking away the huge corpses of several insects in front of him. He then used another Tai Chi action, creating a high-speed rotating air vortex between his hands, and could use true energy to control the movement up and down, left and right, or even throw it like a cannonball. Ma Youhe gathered yang energy and fired fire, mobilizing yin energy to cast ice. Many enviable superpowers were used as the hub and carrier, and used as they wished.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Ma Youhe smiled happily, but he was far-sighted and persistent. After taking the move, he reminded Lin Zaishan: "This magical power is really rare. Being able to master it is not only a great blessing, but also a great disaster. Xiaolin, you must stick to your kindness and do more good deeds; don't just show your pleasure and commit crimes to killing. Otherwise, you will be punished by God."

"What Mr. Ma said is very true. To be honest, because of the random use of Star Soul technology, I have been punished several times and almost couldn't return to China."

"Be more careful in the future."

Ma Youhe was kind to Lin Zaishan, and his status in the latter's mind was equivalent to that of a master. With Lin Zaishan's character, of course, he had to do his best to repay Ma Youhe, who was like a master. The transformation he made to Ma Youhe was not only enough to make his comprehensive strength reach the mid- and late stage level of the sixth-level star soul, but also added a lot of "benefits". Ma Youhe's gains in just half an hour were far beyond the accumulation of others in his lifetime.
