Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 41 Methods of Resistance

However, Bai Yang and the Bloodstained Squad's luck suddenly turned sour.

Small herds of beasts were never encountered again; each time they were met, the smallest group consisted of three or four hundred monsters.

Bai Yang's perception ability is strong, but if it's not there, it's not there.

It seems that those small herds of beasts have completely disappeared in the third circle.

For three whole days, the group gained almost nothing.

On the contrary, several mid-level warriors were almost surrounded and killed by the beast horde, and were seriously injured.

It took Bai Yang a great deal of effort to lead them out of the encirclement.

Fortunately, they had all been enhanced by the monster cells, giving them amazing healing abilities, so the team was spared from casualties.

"No, this is too inefficient! Even if I send the Bloodstained Squad back and let one of them act independently, they can only defend themselves against that number of monsters; they won't be able to wipe them out at all."

Bai Yang had some doubts: Had he come to this third ring too early?

He was not afraid of a lone, low-level lord-class monster.

But even a high-level beast general-level monster becomes an insurmountable nut to crack once it leads more than two hundred subordinates.

Here, monsters are rarely seen, let alone lone ones, or even small ones with a few companions.

This gave him a deeper understanding of the power of the beast horde.

What will it be like when I build my own war base?

How many monsters will come to attack?

On that occasion, as the defender, I even lost the ability to move freely!

Most of the time, we'll probably find ourselves in a passive, defensive position!

"Master, have you forgotten about telekinesis?" An Zhengxin asked, noticing that he was not happy.

"It's no use, I've already tried." Bai Yang had actually tried it before.

"My telekinesis allows me to ignore numbers and directly snap the necks of weaker monsters or attack their vital points in an area."

However, the monsters here are probably at least at the level of a low-level warrior! The combined telekinetic power of the group is not enough to kill them in one blow.

In this respect, it is indeed not as effective as using mental power to control flying weapons, which has greater destructive power.

"So that means you can injure them, but you can't kill them instantly?" At this moment, a member of the squad suddenly interjected.

"Yes, I can only inflict minor injuries on them. The monsters are extremely resilient and don't care at all," Bai Yang replied directly, unconcerned about being interrupted.

That person was absolutely loyal to Bai Yang, and would have the courage to offer advice as long as he believed it was beneficial to him.

So he cautiously added, "Master, why don't we try the poison? Many monsters aren't very strong, but their poison is extremely dangerous."

If we could inflict a minor injury on the monster, even just a small tear in its skin, combined with the poison, wouldn't that be...?

Bai Yang suddenly realized, "So this is how it can be done!"

Yes, it really works!

Isn't the two-headed black-striped snake in the original work just such a monster?

He was delighted and immediately asked, "What's your name?"

The slave, flattered and surprised, said, "My name is Yuan Jingfu!"

"Very good, Yuan Jingfu, from now on you will be my third subordinate. You can tell me any ideas you have in mind."

Yuan Jingfu was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

He was only a mid-level general, yet he's now ranked after Yang Wu and An Zhengxin!

More importantly, he actually helped his master!

This method is absolutely feasible, and Bai Yang immediately began to consider the details.

Why didn't anyone do this in the original work?

Mentalists don't need this method, and martial artists can't do it.

It's a very simple reason: the venom of that two-headed black-striped snake is quite expensive and cannot be obtained easily.

Moreover, the more potent the venom, the more damage it would likely cause to the loot, making it less valuable.

This is a completely unprofitable business!

But Bai Yang is different. As long as he absorbs some of the genes of those monsters, he can secrete that kind of venom on his own.

Although the effect may not be as good as the original, the quantity is plentiful and there's plenty to go around.

In particular, he only wanted the monster's flesh and blood; whether it was poisonous or not, he didn't care at all.

The poison he concocted, could it possibly kill him?

In this way, he could control hundreds of flying blades.

Even a slight scratch on the skin of a monster is enough to poison it to death.

With this level of killing efficiency, he wouldn't need to worry about most beast hordes.

Flying blades are easy to deal with; some monsters' pulled-out teeth can be used to eliminate them.

The main focus is on choosing poisonous monsters; they must be able to deal with high-level warriors.

Thinking about it that way, wouldn't that two-headed black-striped snake be perfect?

Bai Yang considered it for a moment, then thought, what if this snake is gone?

Luo Feng might not have encountered Li Yao's son, Li Wei, which would have triggered a series of subsequent events.

This would be far too disruptive to the plot, but he wasn't one to hesitate.

Let's go find this snake first; maybe we'll encounter a better option along the way.

If all else fails, he'll secretly extract some of its flesh and blood to obtain its genes, without completely killing it.

He carefully recalled the original plot, and realized that the snake should have lived near the Vanke Dream City residential area.

The group took out a map and planned out their route.

We deliberately avoided the Carrefour supermarket where the armored dragon was said to live, and soon set off.

Traveling from the third ring towards the outer perimeter is naturally easy and pleasant.

The little monsters along the way made the group, who had already experienced many big events, feel that there was no need to bully them.

On Baiyang Road, he happened to encounter a monster that could enhance his tactile sensitivity, so he stopped and absorbed its genes.

The group moved very quickly and soon arrived at the area.

The two-headed black-striped snake was originally as thick as a man's waist and about twenty meters long, with almost parallel black stripes all over its body.

The closer these black lines are to the head, the thicker they become.

Such a large creature is not difficult to find.

The group dispersed and searched for several hours, but found nothing.

Considering it's still early, more than three months have passed since that part of the story.

"Hasn't it moved to the vicinity yet? This area is too large."

This is really a difficult situation.

Besides highly venomous monsters, he only knew of the Black Widow Spider Queen, which was said to be a being beyond even the God of War, and that even it could poison people to death.

Only the "Hundred Dew Grass," a plant spirit, can save them.

He took out his PDA, checked the information, and found that this type of venomous snake was indeed the best.

That's why it could sell for such a good price in the story.

There were no clues whatsoever, and even with his keen senses and spiritual energy, he couldn't find it.

Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. After thinking for a moment, Bai Yang decided to persist in his search.

This thing will be very useful to him in the future, and he can afford to spend it for a while.

If all else fails, he will eventually spend money to offer a bounty for the flesh and blood of such monsters.
