Shen Yunfei's voice came through the communicator intermittently.

"Rank E or higher! Huge size, we've been cut off and are retreating to the third level..."

Then the signal dropped.

Han Qingshan tucked the communicator into his waistband and turned to leave.

"Accelerate the advance and head towards the third-level rendezvous point."

The four ignored the strange beasts and monsters and sped deeper into the area.

Han Qingshan finally made his move when the sporadic appearances of Frost Crystal Scorpions and Armored Centipedes along the way appeared.

This was the first time Lin Feng had witnessed the combat power of a martial artist at the peak of their skill.

Han Qingshan did not use a knife.

When he walked over, the beast was already dead.

Qi and blood are released outwards.

Pure brute force overwhelms, without even needing any techniques.

The moment he walked past, the five Frost Crystal Scorpions' carapaces shattered from the inside, scattering fragments all over the ground.

Old Zhao and Sun Liang both looked tense and quickened their pace to catch up.

Lin Feng looked at the system panel as he walked.

[Steel of the Blade: 94/500]

It's still a bit short of the armor-piercing effect at level 150.

When we got to the seventh one, a scream came from the side.

Sun Liang was bitten on the calf by a beetle that had escaped the trap. The beetle's mouthparts pierced through his armor, and blood flowed down his ankle.

Lin Feng leaped forward, cleaved open the beetle's skull with a single stroke, and dragged Sun Liang behind him.

"You should step back first."

Sun Liang gritted his teeth, nodded, and limped backward.

The small beetles have been mostly eliminated.

Lin Feng looked up and faced the front.

Even with Han Qingshan and Shen Yunfei, both martial artists at their peak, joining forces, they still couldn't inflict any real damage on the mutated beetle.

The shell was covered with white marks and shallow scratches, but there was no real break in it.

The mutated beetle became more and more excited as it fought, and its entire body crawled out from underground.

The complete body shape was exposed to the view.

Twelve meters.

It has six legs, each with a thick carapace covering the joints, with almost no gaps visible at the joints.

"Joints also have nails!" Old Zhao roared. "It's completely different from the data on file!"

Han Qingshan took two steps back, his forehead covered in sweat.

"It is evolving."

Shen Yunfei's expression was also not good.

"Under normal circumstances, it would take a martial arts master-level combat power to defeat this kind of mutated individual."

The two exchanged a glance.

At this moment, all the previous awkwardness and mutual dislike vanished.

In a life-or-death situation, nobody talks about those things.

"Han Qingshan, do you have a solution?" Shen Yunfei asked, calling him by his full name.

Han Qingshan shook his head: "I can't cut it with a straight knife. My knife already has two chips."

Shen Yunfei looked down at his own knife, which was also dull in the blade, and hissed.

"Then we have to find its weaknesses. No matter how hard something is, it always has a soft spot."

Lin Feng listened from the back and glanced down at the system panel.

[Steel of the Blade: 101/500]

Current Martial Arts Points: 500

500 martial arts points.

That's enough to push it up a bit.
