Chapter 258: Windfall?
Whoosh!
Just as Chu Nan took a deep breath, a huge figure collided with him from the side.
With his powerful data ability, he instantly determined the attack speed of this Storm Killer and quickly took a step back. His nose almost brushed past the Storm Killer’s body.
Before it could faint from the extremely intense stench brought about by the Storm Killer, Chu Nan had already thrown a punch that struck the lower abdomen of the Storm Killer.
The powerful Internal Breath that had been maintained at the Fifth Revolution surged into the stomach of the Storm Killer accompanied by a high-frequency vibration that was as high as 4368 Hertz. Its entire lower abdomen immediately shook violently like boiling water.
A moment later, this Storm Killer had already pounced more than ten meters to Chu Nan’s right, but it could only let out a low howl before falling to the ground. A huge hole appeared in its stomach and countless blood mixed with extremely fine residue spat out.
The Storm Killer’s body only shook twice on the ground before it could no longer move.
Although this strike dealt with a Storm Killer in one go, Chu Nan did not dare to relax at all.
Now, there were a total of 13 Storm Killers surrounding him.
To be honest, this number was really beyond his expectations.
When he heard from the examinees he had saved that there was a group of Storm Killers here, Chu Nan did not mind.
This was because it was very rare for him to see a D-rank beast in a row in the past few days. Of course, he did not believe that a free lunch would fall from the sky and a true “group” would appear.
However, when he chased over in the direction that the boy pointed, he really saw a group of Storm Killers, and it was a large group!
Although the Storm Killer was more famous than the Giant Spiritual Bull among the D-rank ferocious beasts, with Chu Nan’s strength, it was naturally not a problem for him to deal with one or two or even ten or eight.
However, this time, he had encountered a total of 23 Storm Killers!
With his powerful data ability and high-level Internal Breath that far exceeded ordinary initial-stage Internal Breath Martial Artists, Chu Nan did not need to spend much effort to deal with one. At the same time, he could ensure that he was not struck by the attacks and was still at ease being surrounded by more than 20 Storm Killers.
However, this would greatly exhaust his stamina and Internal Breath.
Now that he had killed a total of ten Storm Killers, Chu Nan felt that his physical strength had clearly decreased and his Internal Breath had clearly weakened.
He knew very well that he could no longer maintain the combat method of using almost all his strength to instantly kill a Storm Killer like before.
If this continued, even if he could finally kill all 13 of them, he would probably be exhausted.
In this huge forest filled with ferocious beasts and unknown danger, exhausting his energy was undoubtedly a very dangerous action.
Chu Nan glanced at the remaining 13 Storm Killers and decided to temporarily change his combat method.
Another Storm Killer rushed over from the side. Chu Nan instantly calculated its attack trajectory through all the data. He gently turned his waist and avoided this attack.
This time, he did not instantly kill him with a punch. Instead, he almost stood on the spot without moving.
Another two Storm Killers rushed over one after another. Chu Nan moved his feet and used the Imperial Wind Steps. His figure changed twice and he gently avoided the attacks of the two Storm Killers.
Next, he only dodged the attacks and did not counterattack.
On the surface, he seemed to have been forced to dodge the Storm Killer and seemed to be in a very sorry state and dangerous. However, in fact, every time, Chu Nan would accurately determine the trajectory of the Storm Killer’s attack and make the most precise and energy-saving reaction in time.
After dodging for a period of time, Chu Nan suddenly attacked again and accurately punched the intersection of the jaw and neck of a Storm Killer.
Boom!
Ferocious Internal Breath surged out. Coupled with the characteristics of high-frequency vibration, it immediately broke the neck of the Storm Killer that was thicker than Chu Nan’s thigh.
This Storm Killer did not even have the chance to roar before it fell to the ground and instantly died.
Next, Chu Nan dodged for a while. After adjusting his Internal Breath, his physical strength had slightly accumulated. He slapped out again and instantly killed another Storm Killer.
Although this battle method would delay time, compared to maintaining a high-intensity combat state just now, the consumption of physical strength and Internal Breath was slightly lower.
After continuing to tangle for a while, Chu Nan had already killed four Storm Killers.
Perhaps because they saw that they could not win for a long time, the remaining nine Storm Killers suddenly dispersed.
Chu Nan frowned and lightly tapped his feet. He caught up to one of them and threw it to the ground.
However, when he turned around, he discovered that the other eight Storm Killers had long disappeared.
Chu Nan could only shake his head helplessly.
He could not split up into different bodies and chase after the Storm Killers.
However, he had already killed a total of 15. It could be said to be a huge profit.
Looking at the corpses of the Storm Killer on the ground, Chu Nan opened his personal terminal and scanned them one by one. Then, he discovered that his points had suddenly increased by 150 points, from 141 points to 291 points. His ranking had also increased from 217th place when he killed the Storm Killer and saved the six people half an hour ago to 133rd.
“Ha, is this considered a windfall?” Chu Nan could not help but laugh.
However, when he habitually glanced at the first place on the real-time points ranking, his smile instantly froze.
“Damn! Is there a mistake? This guy must have cheated!”
At this moment, the first place was still Feng Mingxi, which was not out of Chu Nan’s expectations.
However, his points had jumped from 407 points half an hour ago to 627 points in a row, increasing by 220 points!
Chu Nan looked down in disbelief and discovered that the second place was not inferior to Feng Mingxi at all. It had also increased by 200 points in half an hour.
As for the dozens of examinees who had been ranked at the front, everyone had also increased by 100 to 200 points.
“Damn, I thought I was extremely lucky and could finally rely on this batch of Storm Killers to greatly close the gap between me and these guys in front. I didn’t expect that it would increase the gap…”
Chu Nan frowned and roughly understood what was going on.
Clearly, after three days of exploration, the examinees had already gone far deeper into this continent than two days ago. The number and level of ferocious beasts they encountered were clearly higher than two days ago.
Since he could encounter a group of Storm Killers, it was not impossible for others to encounter a group of D-rank ferocious beasts.
Under such circumstances, these guys who were ranked at the top and had powerful strength and the help of their companions naturally had a higher hunting efficiency than Chu Nan. Their points would definitely not increase slowly.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have acted cool and not agreed to team up with Angie Prairie…” Chu Nan shook his head and a trace of regret flashed through his mind.
Then, he threw this emotion to the side and looked around. He chased in the direction where a few Storm Killers had fled.
