Chapter 25: Almost Killed by a Low-Level Monster
The Great Wall of Steel lies like a long dragon crawling across the wasteland. Its sturdy body wraps around steel towers of varying heights and densely packed buildings and alleys like an ant queue.

A row of armored convoys, one after another, drilled out of the city wall through the tiny holes that were blocked layer by layer, and crawled towards the thick sand like sesame seeds. In a moment, their figures were hidden in the interlayer of the yellow sky and desolate earth.

Click.
The sand and gravel crushed by the tires seemed to shatter beside his ears. Jiang Qiu's head jumped again without warning. He looked out the window through the glass window covered with yellow sand. A row of low brick piles came into view. Houses with collapsed electric poles stretched along the cracked road to the distant dark and low-pressure area - Qingmu Town.

"Tsk, this place looks pretty big. It seems to have been county-level before, right?"

Someone spoke up, and then someone else rushed to answer: "Of course, I looked up information before I came here. Before the secret realm was revived, the economy was very developed. There were big shopping malls, amusement parks, and 4A-level tourist areas. The central street we are going to is even more prosperous, with high-rise buildings and commercial plazas!"

"What's there to say? It's still a ruin."

Amid the noise, Jiang Qiu saw the broken wall disappear into the distance, revealing a long, broken, blue-gray street.

At the intersection, he watched the other armored vehicles turn away, then drove on for more than ten minutes before jumping out of the car with his rifle in hand.

What came into view was that two-thirds of the houses on an entire street had collapsed, grass sprouts were growing out of the concrete blocks, evergreen vines were climbing over the steel bars and covering the rooftops, and leaves were falling like yellow snow.

Rumble.
The armored vehicle left them behind and drove away. The roar of the engine disappeared from near to far after turning the corner.

"Hey, thanks, bro."

Suddenly someone shouted, Jiang Qiu turned around and saw Xie Kuang carrying a long spear and walking alone into the small street full of cement debris. He was wearing a helmet, arm guards, and light armor, looking like a soldier who did what he wanted.

Several students subconsciously glanced at Jiang Qiu. Two of them hesitated for a moment, said nothing, gritted their teeth and clenched their fists before running after him.

A few days ago, I scolded Jiang Qiu and Wang Guanjia in front of Xie Kuang. Now, I feel my face tingling and my heart beating faster when I look at them for a moment. It would be better to continue to talk to Brother Xie.
The three disappeared from sight, and the eyes of the remaining fifteen people were all fixed on Jiang Qiu's face.

"The recording ring that was just distributed before I came here should be normal. Let's test it. We still have a chance to ask the teacher to replace it before we start the operation." Ignoring the strange meaning in their eyes, Jiang Qiu slowly raised his left hand, and a touch-screen bracelet was clasped on his wrist: "Can I slide it? Is there a function of [Send Help], [Exit], [Kill Data]?"

Everyone fumbled for a while and nodded in response.

"Remember, [Send Help] will transmit your location to nearby students. Send out a call for help. [Exit] will allow a teacher to pick you up. If you are in mortal danger, click this decisively. The other data will record the number of monsters killed. You can read it yourself. It can be controlled by voice."

After explaining the basic functions of the recording ring as required, Jiang Qiu looked at everyone. They were of varying quality. Some wore light armor that covered their heads and knees, while others only had a breastplate on their chests.

"Don't disperse on the first day. Follow me and find a temporary place to stay."

After saying that, Jiang Qiu turned around and was about to leave. Just at this moment, someone in the crowd whispered, "Brother Jiang Jiang, should we ignore Xie Kuang and the others?"

"They are not my business."

Jiang Qiu didn't even look back and strode towards the square in the distance.

The sparse students were also attracted by his back. The student who had just spoken was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed to the end.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and dim beams of light pass through the high windows on the second floor, falling on the bent shelves and messy cardboard boxes, blurring the boundary between light and shadow.

Click.

Jiang Qiu gently pushed open the rusty door, and smoke and dust rushed into his nostrils with the air flow.

"This small supermarket is nice. The walls of the warehouse can block the wind, so it's not too cold at night."

Jiang Qiu was about to step in when he heard a thumping sound from the warehouse on the other side. "Monster?!"

His brows furrowed, and he pointed his spear at the ground. His figure flashed, and a gleam in his eyes - money came!

boom!
"Demon beast?!" Zhang Shan, who had just stepped into a warehouse, was knocked to the ground by a black shadow as big as a tiger or leopard. At the critical moment, a spear was placed across his head, blocking the opponent's fangs that were so cold that they could penetrate bones!
His pupils trembled, and he finally saw clearly what was pressing on him.

A pair of big black eyes, a smooth head with a cold glow of scales, and teeth like a giant crocodile that seem to be about to bite the gun in his hand, which is harder than iron, into pieces in one bite!
Both of his knees were gripped by the opponent's hind claws, and he couldn't exert any strength!
At that moment, Li Si, who was closest to him, had a frown on his face and his pupils were wide open.

A low-level monster, the Armored Lizard!

The wolf, as big as a jackal, was scratching Zhang Fan's breastplate like a mad man-eating wolf. The harsh friction sound made his heart numb, and the twisting and entangled figures made the tip of his spear swing unsteadily.

"Li Si, you f*cking poked it!"

This shout made Li Si's heart beat wildly. He clenched his teeth and thrust forward with all his strength. There was a dull bang, and the tip of the gun slid past the back of the armored lizard and splashed out a string of sparks.

"!!!"

The attacked iron-clad lizard scratched and bit more violently, making Zhang Fan unable to breathe and his heart stopped beating suddenly.

The Ironclad Lizard is actually just as we learned in the general education class, with scales all over its back that look like iron armor!
More and more students heard the noise and ran over to look, only to find that Zhang Shan, who was consistently ranked in the top five in comprehensive strength, was suppressed by the lowest-level Armored Lizard in the general education class!

Even Wang Guanjia, who came over with a spear in hand, couldn't help but hold his breath and frown, with turbid light flashing in his tiger eyes.

The only hard thing about the armored lizard is its back. You just need to turn it over and stab it in the heart to kill it. All the students present have this ability.

Even if it's an iron-like back, as long as you master a little bit of hidden power, you can try to break through the defense directly!

But the iron-armored lizard almost held on to Zhang Shan tightly, biting the gun barrel tightly and refusing to let go, and it couldn't shake it off. If he stabbed it with all his strength, there was no telling how many would be killed and how many would be injured!

"bare--"

Zhang Shan's gums trembled, and he glared at the pair of dark eyes pressing on his face, his blood boiling like magma.

This beast’s grip is too tight, its back is too hard, and now no one can help me!
Must be pushed away!

In a flash, the muscles in his arms burst out like mountains rising from the ground, and the fangs that were about to press against the bridge of his nose were lifted up like a huge wave pushing a boat!
clatter--

Suddenly, he was deflected by the opponent's sudden flip, his strength was disrupted, and after flipping several times, he still couldn't push away. He was shocked!
This is just the most common low-level monster!

It's just a stepping on a horse!

Just one!

I can't do anything to him?!
Angry roars erupted from Zhang Shan's heart one after another, but the rolled-up force was interrupted by the iron-armored lizard's flipping, and he was always under the opponent's rhythm.

It had only been three breaths since he was ambushed, but his thighs were already covered in blood, his shoulder armor was covered in scratches, and even the barrel of his gun was trembling.

All the anger in the chest must be vented out through the mouth: "Retreat"

Buzz—sizzle! snap!
Suddenly, the sound of a gun broke through the air. In surprise, the strength in his hands suddenly increased, and then suddenly loosened. The armored lizard that was holding on to his body was lifted up, and the gun in its mouth fell back.

In the blink of an eye, a young man in black clothes and bright eyes stood in front of him. The tip of his double-arc-bladed spear just pierced through the belly of the armored lizard. Even though it was as big as a jackal, twisting like a mad wild animal, and screaming and howling strangely, the erect spear shaft remained motionless.

At that moment, Zhang Shan swallowed all the sounds he made, staring blankly at Jiang Qiu who was standing like a mountain, and heard a calm voice: "Since the gun barrel has been bitten, why not throw it away?"
