Chapter 615: Spider Web Venomous Zhang Xiu (Part One)
In the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Lin Dong took out a wooden barrel and filled it up with water before he threw Xu Cheng into it.
Master had once said that if one day he was in danger, I should just throw him into water. Lin Dong and Xu Cheng had
spent all those days together in the laboratory, so he knew a little bit about
molecular biology.
For fear that Xu Cheng had lost too much blood, Luo Yi asked Lin Dong through the door. “Does Big Brother Cheng need a blood transfusion? All of us can donate some blood for it.”
Lin Dong shook his head and said, “Have you forgotten that our blood compositions are different already? Do any of you know what blood type you are? Master’s blood type is even more complicated, and there is no one among us whose blood can be used to treat him. It’s only his blood that can treat us.”
Having said that, Lin Dong closed the door and went back to monitor Xu Cheng.
Time pa.s.sed bit by bit, and all the elite soldiers of the Murong family, Ye family, and Li family were sent out this way towards the Dragon Clan’s area. Then, they would need a day to reach the Deviant Corp’s territory.
That gave the Deviant Corp only one day to prepare.
The Continental Mercenaries were also in a mess. Kush was carried back to be resuscitated by private medics, and the two daggers that were owned only by Kush had broken apart.
The doctor looked at the two daggers and frowned.
The second and third heads of the Continental Mercenaries were wondering, “What kind of grandmaster did the boss encounter that could injure him so badly?”
“The grandmaster who wiped out the special forces of five countries!”
“Is the head of the Deviant Corp really that powerful? This is the most serious injury I’ve ever seen on Boss. This dagger is twenty years old and now it’s broken! How is he, Doc?”
The doctor sighed, “It’s hard to tell, his organs have all been displaced. HIs lungs and liver are injured, his heart has been affected, and it’s all internal injuries. All of his nerves are disordered so even if he wakes up in a bit, he won’t be able to fight. He will need a big surgical operation since the nerves and blood vessels are all tangled together, and myself alone can’t operate this surgery.”
The second-in-command narrowed his eyes at the Dragon Clan’s soldier who had brought Kush over and asked. “How badly was the enemy injured?”
“His foot and knee are ruined, and Mr. Kush used a dagger and stabbed him near the heart. He’s probably also in a critical condition.”
The second-in-command picked up the two daggers that had been broken, looking worried. “Boss spent a huge amount to craft a meteoroid into these daggers back then. These daggers had accompanied him for a long time and had cut through many things, and not even diamonds could have withstood this dagger. I did not expect it to be broken by some guy that just appeared out of the blue. What is the origin of this guy? Can you tell how old he is?”
“He looks like he’s under thirty.”
“What?” Several core executives of the Continental Mercenary Corp were taken aback. “Less than thirty years old? Are you sure about that? This is impossible, among the world’s five legendary grandmasters, there was one from Huaxia, who had single-handedly defeated the masters from eight countries during the invade, but he is now over a hundred years old and is probably long dead. Then there’s the Great Sword of Britain Nation who is also over seventy years old. Another one is Satan from District 5 who’s on par with the grandmaster from Huaxia, and then there is the Pope. So who the h*ll is this guy?”
“Whoever he is, according to today’s story, he must die if he’s not already dead!” At that moment, the other core members of the Continental Mercenary Corp said, “If Kush falls in the Land of Mercenaries, absolutely no one can replace him! It is also determined that no one can step on the boss’s corpse to get to the top, so that person must die!”
“That’s right.”
Chapter 615: Spider Web Venomous Zhang Xiu (Part Two)
“Hold on, guys.” At this time, a Dragon Clan’s soldier said, “Actually, this time this mysterious grandmaster also had a problem with the Dragon Family’s son, or rather, with the other three major mercenary clans: the Murong Family, Li family, and Ye family. He had p.i.s.sed off all of the four big mercenary groups, and they had wanted to get rid of him over the past couple years, but there was no way to do it. Now that he’s been badly injured, the other three major mercenary clans had already sent troops to bring back his head. The Continental Mercenary Corp should not go and fight the united mercenaries at this time. That mysterious man probably won’t survive, but the Continental mercenaries should prevent the possibility of the three major mercenary groups trying to take advantage of our vulnerability to take us down along the way too.”
He was right. Over the years, there hadn’t been any shifts in power between the four major mercenary groups, and the reason why the Continental mercenary corp would not provoke them was that they were afraid the other three would form an alliance. Now that they shared a common enemy Xu Cheng, perhaps they would join forces. Especially at this time that the King of Mercenaries was not here, it was hard to say that they would not take advantage of this and occupy half of the land. Thus, according to the plans of the four clans back then, they might be able to achieve full domination of the Land of Mercenaries at this time; if the timing was just right, then there would be no reason not to do it.
The three great clans did indeed each send a third of their forces to the Deviant Corp so they could annihilate them, and the other two-thirds was coming over to the Continentals.
The members of the Continental Mercenary Corp numbered in the thousands.
Although the other three major mercenary groups were not as elite, they had more than enough people. Half of the three major mercenary groups added up to more than 1,500 members, which was enough to have a fight with the Continental Mercenary Corp that had no leader.
This battle, along with Xu Cheng’s battle with Kush, had plunged the land of mercenaries into deep water.
Seeing how the three major mercenary groups united into one, those smaller mercenary groups felt as if the sky was going to change colors.
Zhang Xiu led a group of people with supplies to the original Cobra territory, where independent mercenary groups had occupied some of the land. They were going to leave when they saw Zhang Xiu and his group come in, but then when they noticed that only less than three of them were armed with guns, the twenty of them were not afraid anymore.
Some saw the Deviant’s flag and wanted to leave them alone, but there would naturally be some people that had big b.a.l.l.s that stem from ignorance. There were still desperate ones who said, “Didn’t you hear? The Deviant Corp is in trouble, so my guess is that they’re escaping. See those supplies? It would be enough to get us by for a few years, so are we doing it?”
The others gritted their teeth. “Let’s fight it out!”
They then all rushed out and pointed their guns at Zhang Xiu and the other two Deviant members. “Freeze! All of you, freeze!”
Zhang Xiu raised his hand as he said to them, “We’re from the Deviant Mercenary Corp, are you sure you want to do this?”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re from the Deviant Corp or the Continentals. Leave the supplies on the truck and get everyone off.”
Zhang Xiu felt anger inside. “I advise that you guys better not do that.”
He knew that these guys wanted to leave with the car and abandon them here, but with so many people, how could they live without supplies. Zhang Xiu was in charge of bringing these people over to settle down this time, so he was obligated to protect Dr. Hawking and the others.
“Cut the c.r.a.p, if you don’t want to die then just do it. Everyone get off,” a soldier said to Zhang Xiu while pointing the gun at him.
He then instructed the other brothers to occupy the truck with supplies.
Zhang Xiu was p.i.s.sed off, feeling like the bad luck just keeps on coming one after another. He was so agitated that he subconsciously reached his hands out, so he could jump the man with the gun. However, he suddenly shot out five webs from his fingers, sending them flying towards the soldier’s face like spider webs. The soldier screamed, because the spider web actually had sticky venom on it, disfiguring him immediately.
Zhang Xiu was stunned, but he immediately understood the situation as he quickly shot the webs at the other mercenaries, pulled them closer, and took their guns, handing them to his own two teammates. He then shot the webs upon the soldiers’ faces, and the venom on the webs directly took their lives.
The two Deviant Corp members were overjoyed. “Zhang Xiu, congratulations!”
After Zhang Xiu had killed all the soldiers with his venom, he himself was surprised to know that he had awakened his ability
