Apocalypse: I Created the Perfect Survival Hotel

Chapter 117 First Test of Wind Blade

Looking at the manpower lost as a result of this attack, a cold glint flashed in Wang Xiao's eyes.

He knew he couldn't drag this out any longer with this "dead bug".

Given his current physical attributes, it would be virtually impossible for the Devourer to hit him with its poisonous stinger at this speed.

It was useless to him, but it was a different story for ordinary people who were fighting against insect people and insect-like monsters.

What Wang Xiao considered an incredibly slow-moving poison stinger was, to an ordinary person, just a series of poisonous bullets.

If they continue to waste time with this "dead bug," even if he manages to defeat the Devourer in the end, the team will likely suffer heavy casualties.

Not to mention that he needs these people to help him deal with the other bugs upstairs.

The hotel's future development depends on these people to generate revenue!

Losing one of these facilities would be a huge loss to the hotel's development.

There's a saying, something like, "Cutting off someone's livelihood," or something like that...

Forgot for a moment, and Wang Xiao didn't have time to think about it further.

The key to solving the problem is to get rid of this annoying devourer as soon as possible!

Taking a deep breath, and looking at the increasingly dense red lines on the Devourer's body, Wang Xiao gradually poured his mental energy into the horizontal sword in his hand.

On the blade of the specially made horizontal sword, a faint blue pattern began to fluctuate violently as Wang Xiao continuously poured his spiritual power into it, as if some special power was being awakened by Wang Xiao.

【Breaking the wind】.

This weapon's unique ability is inherited from the scythe of the abyssal creature, the Windbreaker Mantis.

The effect is that it can consume the user's mental energy to unleash extremely destructive wind blades.

Although Wang Xiao had never learned how to use mental power, he had seen others use it and had humbly asked questions about it, so he could at least understand what kind of power it was.

Wang Xiao gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, condensing the spiritual energy on the blade according to his understanding, and then swung the knife fiercely towards the Devourer!

A cyan wind blade instantly shot out from the tip of the blade and slashed toward the Devourer at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Devourer also realized the extraordinary nature of this attack. It began to desperately twist its body, trying to dodge to the side, but at this moment, the terrain of the mall also became its shackles.

The situation that would occur to humans when faced with its attack is perfectly mirrored in this moment.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

The wind blade struck directly at the spot where Wang Xiao had already cut a crack!

One of the spots that Wang Xiao had attacked repeatedly shattered completely under the attack of this wind blade, revealing the flesh and blood beneath the shell.

As a large amount of blood flowed from the wound, the Devourer let out a painful howl, and its massive body convulsed violently on the spot.

Its eyeless head suddenly turned towards Wang Xiao.

Although Wang Xiao couldn't see its expression, he could still sense its killing intent and anger.

"You're still not dead? Your strength is still a bit weak. Don't worry, I'll finish you off in a minute."

Wang Xiao gave the Devourer no chance to retaliate or catch its breath. He swung his sword again, channeling his spiritual power into it, and then unleashed another wind blade!

This time, the wind blade slashed directly into the Devourer's torn wound.

After this attack, the Devourer let out an even more piercing wail.

To Wang Xiao's surprise, after regaining its mobility, the creature did not immediately retaliate against him. Instead, it desperately fled backward while devouring the corpses on the ground.

Watching the torn wound slowly heal, Wang Xiao's eyes flashed with ferocity as he said, "Did you intend to recover by devouring your own kind? How could we let you get away so easily..."

Sensing the Devourer's intentions, Wang Xiao disregarded the mental weakness brought on by the two wind blades and immediately approached the Devourer with his knife.

The blade pierced the Devourer's body through the broken shell.

Unable to escape, the Devourer suddenly turned around, attempting a final counterattack against Wang Xiao.

But the next second.

With a loud thud, the Devourer's massive body fell to the ground and was forcefully cleaved in two by Wang Xiao's horizontal blade, after which it remained motionless.

[Defeat the level 6 Devourer and gain 110 experience points.]

The experience points given by the system after killing the Devourer were not much more than those given to the Captain Insectoid, which made Wang Xiao feel somewhat disappointed.

"call……"

After getting rid of the annoying bug, Wang Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

Although activating the wind blade consumed some mental energy, it was not enough to affect his normal actions.

Wang Xiao flicked the blood off his knife and looked at the people behind him.

The two leaders of the smaller factions were just finishing off the last of the nest-guarding insectoids with their men when they saw Wang Xiao deal with the Devourer, and their faces showed expressions of relief.

One of them quickly stepped forward and asked, "Boss Wang, are you alright?"

Wang Xiao shook his head, his gaze falling on the dozen or so team members who had just been struck by the poisoned stinger: "How are the injured? How many are still able to move?"

The man glanced at the wounded lying on the ground and sighed, "Several of them were hit by multiple poisonous stings at the same time. The poison has spread throughout their bodies, and they are barely breathing. There's no hope for them..."

The situation is relatively stable for the time being, but it seems that I won't be able to participate in the battle for a while.

In addition, many of our brothers were injured while dealing with the insectoids, so now we probably only have about two-thirds of our men left who can continue operating.

Just as Wang Xiao was about to say something, he heard loud noises coming from all directions in the distance, especially a burst of gunfire from area B.

Wang Xiao thought to himself: "His reaction is really fast."

If other areas also suffer from insect retaliation, then expecting the Qin Group and other forces to cooperate in clearing the upper floors is probably hopeless.

Wang Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Judging from the commotion, other areas probably won't be able to spare any manpower for the time being. Leave a few people to take care of the wounded, and the rest of you continue forward."

Perhaps due to the excessive losses, the leader of one of the factions actually considered retreating at this time.

The man seemed afraid of angering Wang Xiao, and cautiously probed, "Boss Wang, we have lost a lot of manpower on our way here, and no one knows what kind of monsters are waiting for us up there."

If we encounter insects like those again, we're all probably going to perish here. So I think, maybe we should…”

Wang Xiao turned to look at the man and said slowly, "We've already fought our way here. Now you want to retreat? Do you think those insects will agree?"

"You saw that giant insect just now. Do you think if we don't seize this opportunity to destroy the nest in one fell swoop, and wait for the other insects to return and provide support, will we ever have another chance like today?"

Upon hearing this, the man glanced at his teammates behind him, who were exhausted but still persevering, and then at Wang Xiao's resolute expression. Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Alright! We'll listen to Boss Wang!"

Wang Xiao nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at the stairwell leading to the eighth floor.

Wang Xiao could sense that the entity commanding the insect swarm was getting closer and closer to him.

"keep going!"

At a command, the troops, after a brief rest, advanced once again.

Meanwhile, somewhere upstairs, a creature even larger than the Devourer was slowly opening its compound eyes...

It had already sensed the threat approaching it from downstairs.
