Chapter 322: Targeting Earth’s Civilization (1)
Xu Jingming tapped open the information on Planet Number Two’s test, and a three-dimensional map of the entire planet immediately appeared in front of him. A spot was highlighted.
“Test on Planet Number Two: Arrive at the destination alive!”
“Once you arrive at your destination, you can enter the miniature wormhole and head to Planet Number Three.”
“Friendly reminder: Countless Arthropods live on Planet Number Two. Make sure to avoid them!”
Xu Jingming’s expression changed slightly when he saw the marked destination. That’s way too far. The destination is on the other side of the planet. The shortest path spans 28,312 kilometers.
!!
A planet filled with Arthropods, and I have to rely on my two legs to reach the other end of the planet? Xu Jingming had a vague feeling that it wouldn’t be easy to reach the other end before he even started.
There are countless Arthropods on the way, and I probably have to take detours often, so I will likely be traveling more than 30,000 kilometers. To save time, I have to move fast!
After all, he only had 330 days to explore. He couldn’t waste too much time on Planet Number Two! If he wasted half a year… Even if he successfully reached Planet Number Three, it would be a failure for him.
His goal was to reach the fifth planet at least so that he could join a Hunter Cosmic Sector faction!
As for Planet Number Seven? Every explorer yearned for it, and so did Xu Jingming! However, he also knew that it would be very difficult to reach Planet Number Seven.
But regardless, I can’t waste too much time on Planet Number Two. Thankfully, my body will always be at its optimum state in the mysterious land, and I won’t become hungry or thirsty, he thought. This allowed explorers to focus on adventuring in the mysterious land.
He opened the interface and changed his equipment and weapon to soft armor. His spear also returned to its original brand-new state.
With a lighter load, I can unleash my maximum speed. Xu Jingming got ready and began his journey with a spear in hand.
Whoosh!
When he exited the protective shield, another cosmic citizen walked out of the miniature wormhole! Clearly, cosmic citizens were arriving on Planet Number Two from Planet Number One.
…
Xu Jingming carefully observed his surroundings and the Arthropods in the distance as he traveled.
Using some rocks and trees as cover, he placed himself in the Arthropods’ blind spot.
It won’t be easy to avoid the two Arthropods ahead. Xu Jingming flew over and took the initiative to charge over.
When he was about ten meters away, the two Arthropods discovered Xu Jingming. They immediately charged over ferociously, but with the appearance of two spear afterimages, the two Arthropods collapsed and died.
Strength of a super expert! A handful of Arthropods could easily be dispatched.
Xu Jingming’s expression didn’t change as he quickly traveled with all his might!
He observed the situation as he traveled. Soon, he climbed up a tree and looked around.
Xu Jingming mobilized every cell in his eyes and could clearly see more than five kilometers away with the naked eye.
“Roar!”
“Hiss!”
There was a roar in the distance as dozens of Arthropods surrounded a human and attacked. Arthropods rushed over from other places, and their numbers kept increasing.
The cosmic citizen brandished his weapon but was eventually torn to pieces.
First rule of the Arthropods: Battles must not be extended. As time pa.s.ses, more and more Arthropods will rush over. Xu Jingming looked as he made judgment from afar. With my strength, I can quickly defeat 30 Arthropods and escape their entanglement. Once there are too many of them, my chances of escaping will be slim.
For example, it took him about half a minute to kill 50 Arthropods! It was too long, enough time for more than a hundred Arthropods to surround him.
The number of Arthropods would only increase. Being unable to escape meant failure.
My mission isn’t to kill the Arthropods but to reach my destination alive. The sooner, the better. Xu Jingming quietly landed on a tree, and his feet were as soft as a cat’s paws. He quietly landed and then rushed to a spot where there were few Arthropods.
When one or two Arthropods discovered him and attacked, Xu Jingming would retaliate with two strikes!
It was still very easy to kill single-digit enemies.
These Arthropods are only at the level of a third-rate expert, Xu Jingming determined.
…
Five minutes later, he overturned his judgment.
A huge spider-like Arthropod with thin and sharp limbs that spanned at least five to six meters long. Xu Jingming’s expression couldn’t help but change when the many limbs surrounded him…
Thankfully, these Arthropods only acted on instinct.
Pu.
After killing the arachnid Arthropod with a single strike, Xu Jingming thought to himself, This Arthropod can match a first-rate expert on its own!
Xu Jingming became even more careful, especially when he saw more than 100 arachnid Arthropods in motion from a distance.
On that mountaintop, he realized that he couldn’t clear Planet Number Two by force; he had to know how to time his opportunities and avoid danger.
…
Under the dark sky, an earthworm-like Arthropod suddenly crawled out of the sand. It opened its mouth and let out a strange hiss. “Hiss!”
Xu Jingming—who had just killed three ordinary Arthropods—couldn’t help but turn pale when he heard the strange alien insect’s cry.
This strange sound wave struck his entire body, causing every cell in his body to tremble. It was as if his brain had suffered a heavy blow, and his head felt a splitting headache. At this moment, the Arthropods rushed over from all directions.
Xu Jingming endured the discomfort in his body with gritted teeth as he ran into the distance. He quickly killed the occasional Arthropods blocking his way.
He fled as he tried his best to distance himself from his pursuers!
