Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 382 I Surrender

[You killed the Red Tank Cain Marco]

[Red Tank is an elite mutant in the X-Men world, and has obtained 5.6% of the world's origin. He has now obtained a total of 6.9% of the world's origin]

[You got a treasure chest (dark purple)]

The brilliant knife light in the corridor dissipated, and the flying charred head fell to the ground. After making a muffled sound, it rolled away and was blocked by a pair of black leather boots.

Looking at the charred ball at his feet that was almost unrecognizable as a head, the hedgehog felt a chill in his heart and took several steps back imperceptibly. His footsteps were particularly soft, as if he was trying his best to avoid attracting the attention of a certain evil star.

Dr. Rao beside him behaved even more unbearably. Although she had dissected many corpses, the feeling of dismembering a dead body was completely different from that of slaughtering compatriots. This execution-style beheading method was undoubtedly a bit too stimulating for her.

In panic, he stepped back repeatedly until his back hit the wall behind him. After feeling the solid support on his spine, the panic in his heart gradually subsided.

On the other side, Xu Yue didn't care about the strange noise coming from not far away. Except for Arc Light, the others in the field posed no threat to him.

His eyes fell on the prompt of the paradise in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Although the source of the world he obtained was not much, it was only the second income he had after entering the world.

Now, it's just the beginning.

Putting the long sword back into his body, he bent down to pick up the treasure chest on the ground. At the same time, the Red Prison Armor lying beside him began to automatically dissolve into a large amount of gurgling blood-colored liquid, which quickly flowed to his feet and disappeared, leaving only a shriveled and rotten headless corpse in its place.

There was not even a drop of blood flowing out of the smooth cross section of the neck, and through the several hideous holes on the chest that were turned outward, even the internal organs that were stirred into pieces appeared grayish white. The whole thing looked like an old mummy that had been dried by the wind for several months.

When Xu Yue swung his knife to behead Red Tank, the opponent did not resist at all. It was precisely for this reason that Chiyu had already swallowed up almost all of his blood silently. Not to mention resistance, the fact that he was still able to breathe was barely maintained by his strong vitality.

Compared to the pale and withered corpse on the ground, Xu Yue, who took Chi Yu back into his body, had a ruddy complexion. With Chi Yu's return, a steady stream of pure life energy began to flow out from inside the armor, as if a hot spring had appeared in his body. As the heat flowed, his remaining 74% of life value was quickly restored.

The stinging pain in his chest and arms was soothed by the warm current flowing through it. When his health was restored, his various attributes began to improve. Soon, except for charm, his strength, stamina, agility, and intelligence all gained attribute increases ranging from 3 to 5 points.

Using the enemy's blood as nourishment to provide temporary strengthening and healing to the host is the most powerful ability of the Red Hell Armor.

It is a living blood demon. The more blood it fights, the stronger it becomes. With the blood of the Red Tank that it has just devoured, the Red Prison can last for at least half an hour with this level of attribute enhancement, which is enough for Xu Yue to fight the entire antidote battle.

Feeling the surging power in his body, Xu Yue's eyes gradually turned scarlet. With a thought, the headless corpse at his feet and the charred head rolling in the distance all burst into flames at the same time. Wisps of purple fire turned into long snakes that flew up from the corpse, and surrounded his body and were gradually absorbed.

Amid the feasting fire, Xu Yue devoured the Red Tank skin and bones, and then he had time to glance sideways at the brotherhood members on the side of the corridor.

A pair of scarlet blood eyes darted down from the enchanting purple flame. Even though Xu Yue did not actively release the killing intent, this scene still frightened the Hedgehog Man so much that he could not help but take a half step back. He witnessed the entire process of the other party making the red tank. When it comes to ferocity, the one opposite him is the ancestor, and he is ashamed of himself.

Facing this evil star, he did not want to leave immediately, but the strong fear in his heart reminded him all the time that it was best not to act rashly.

"Fraternity guys?"

A cold voice came from the dancing flames. The hedgehog man hesitated for a moment when he heard it, but soon nodded in agreement. While answering, he tilted his neck slightly, and after a swish, thousands of sharp black-brown short thorns grew out from all over his body at the same time.

This is the special ability given to the Hedgehog Man by the mutant gene, and it is also the specific origin of his code name. Although these short spines on his body are only biological materials, their texture is comparable to steel, strong and sharp, and they contain trace amounts of neurotoxins. When in combat, if all of them are extended out of the body surface, he will be transformed into a humanoid hedgehog with thorns.

Although it is not very effective against long-range attacks, it still has some offensive and defensive capabilities when used in unarmed close combat. Of course, this is just his own idea.

Even in the mutant classification, the Hedgehog's position is between the lowest Ipsilon level and the weak Delta level, which is a level that ordinary people with guns can easily kill him.

His act of demonstrating his abilities on his own seemed to be an attempt to prove his identity as a mutant, but judging from the smug look on his face, he might also have some beastly intention of showing his claws and fangs in order to intimidate the enemy.

"My friend should be a member of the X-Men. The Brotherhood only deals with humans. There is no need for us to be hostile to each other. And you should have seen the strength of Magneto lifting the entire bridge. Humans have no chance of winning. Why not..."

Looking at the hedgehog man in front of him with dense spikes growing all over his head and face, Xu Yue had a cold expression, but with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. In terms of practicality, the mutated porcupine in Ah Fu's hand was far stronger than this funny mutant ability.

At least the porcupine's quills can be fired long distance and used as ammunition, whereas the hedgehog's quills are useless except for stinging people at close range.

The incessant chatter of the opponent trying to win him over was still going on, but the lingering fire around Xu Yue had been basically absorbed. At the moment the last ray of flame disappeared, he suddenly raised his right hand, and then the whistling sound of the air being torn apart by brute force resounded through his eardrums, directly tearing apart all the words of the opponent.

The hurricane was bearing down on him with a murderous aura. The Hedgehog Man felt his breathing stagnate, and then all that was left in his field of vision was the silver hand that was constantly expanding in the howling wind, as if it filled the heaven and earth.

The terrifying oppressive force instantly enveloped his whole body. He wanted to dodge, but at this moment, he seemed to have become a poor mosquito tightly wrapped in resin amber. No matter how hard he screamed in his heart, his body remained stiff and motionless. Only the sharp shout that could not be heard exploded from his throat.

"Arclight, do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Arc Light on the other side of the corridor changed his expression. From the moment they saw Red Tank being beheaded, they knew that the situation was not good.

Years of experience in getting along with each other allowed them to quickly formulate a plan just by looking at each other, with the hedgehog man leading the way in the front to attract attention, while she and another companion would wait in the background, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.

But plans often cannot keep up with changes. Before the hedgehog man had finished his words of winning over, Xu Yue had already taken the lead and made his move.

Hearing the panic in the shout, the anxious Arc Light didn't care about whether he would accidentally hurt someone. He took off his gloves and opened his blue-white palms to the left and right, then swung his arms forward quickly and slapped his palms in front of his body. "Buzz!"

The moment the two strange bluish-white palms touched each other, a piercing buzzing sound similar to the vibration of a tuning fork rang out immediately, except that its volume was amplified countless times. A mighty invisible shock wave surged out from the front of the palms, sweeping across all the corridor space in front of them like a rolling wave.

Wherever it passed, walls cracked, doors and windows shattered, and all solid objects were shaking and crumbling under the ravages of this invisible shock wave.

But when it was about to reach the intended target, a metal tower shield so wide that it almost took up half of the corridor suddenly appeared and firmly blocked the direction of the invisible shock wave.

The next second, the shock wave and the tower shield collided violently in the corridor. The deep sound of the bell instantly covered up the previous humming. The tower shield also began to tremble slightly under the continuous impact of the shock wave, until it slowly moved backwards, gradually plowing out large pieces of broken bricks and stones and a wide, ugly gully on the surface.

Unlike the badly shattered walls around it, even though the metal tower shield retreated inch by inch under the impact of the shock wave, its surface was still as smooth as new. Even the relief of a Baxia with a dragon head held high and carrying a mountain on its back showed no signs of cracking or damage.

As the shock wave continued, even the retreat of the tower shield was rapidly decreasing, as if it was gradually adapting to the impact of the shock wave.

After a few breaths, the raging shock waves continued, but the tower shield had completely stagnated. The shield body, with large yellow mysterious patterns inexplicably appearing, stood still as a mountain, and the Ba Xia relief on the surface suddenly opened its eyes slightly and howled towards the sky!

"hold head high!"

The majestic roar of the beast spread outward from the tower shield, and actually dispersed the invisible shock waves around it. Then, when the shock waves came back again, the shadow of a huge mountain had quietly emerged, filling all the corridor space in front.

On the other side of the corridor, where the invisible shock wave originated.

Arc Light stared at the phantom of the mountain in the distance with a gloomy face. All her abilities were in these palms that had been completely transformed by mutant genes. When her palms clapped, they would send out a powerful and unforgiving shock wave. Under this extremely deep shock damage, almost no substance could remain intact.

No matter whether it is the flesh, blood and bones of the human body or the hard rock and metal, all things are equal under the shock wave and can only gradually collapse and shatter from the inside out. It once took her less than five minutes to make a nearly 100-meter high-rise building completely collapse under the continuous impact of the shock wave. Its powerful power can be seen.

It stands to reason that no substance can remain unaffected by shock waves, but the illusory mountain in the distance is very different. It is constantly swallowing up the oncoming shock waves. Although the mountain is also shaking, there is no sign of collapse.

Glancing at the walls around her that were cracking one after another, Arc Light lowered her eyes. The damage caused by the shock wave was a large-scale indiscriminate attack, which she had no way to control.

If this situation continues, the first thing that might collapse would be the Worthington Laboratory. Right now, rubble has begun to fall from above their heads. Once the laboratory collapses completely, all of them will be completely buried by the pouring bricks and stones.

Thinking of this, she felt a slight chill in her heart and was about to stop clapping her palms, but the scene of Xu Yue beheading the Red Tank with a single knife suddenly appeared in her mind.

'Even if the lab doesn't collapse, can we really survive?'

Once a thought comes into mind, it spreads wildly like a tide until it completely overwhelms reason.

Since they were all going to die, they might as well give it a try. As long as the building collapsed from the opposite side first, they would still have a chance of survival. As for the hedgehog man who was still in the hands of the target? They couldn't care less about that at the moment of life and death.

There was a hint of madness in his eyes, and his palms, which were constantly clapping with arc light, suddenly increased their strength. Amidst the buzzing sound, surging shock waves like raging waves swept out, and the overall destructive power increased by more than several times.

"Oh!"

The entire corridor was shaking under the devastation of the shock wave. A rock as big as a millstone fell straight down from the top, hitting the top of the mountain phantom and shattered into several pieces of rubble that rolled down.

Inside the phantom, the pounding noise above naturally attracted Xu Yue's attention. He looked up, and after scanning the increasingly deep and large gaps above his head and on both sides, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Arclight's plan was not difficult to guess. Since Shockwave couldn't do anything to him, he would destroy the entire laboratory in order to survive. This kind of mentality was common among the contractors, but it was quite rare for a mutant native to this world.

"Their character and strength are far superior to yours. I'm really curious about how a hedgehog like you became their leader."

As he spoke, Xu Yue lowered his eyes and looked at the hedgehog man in front of him, who was being held high up by his right hand, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"I...I surrender...spare...spare...my life..."

A difficult cry for mercy came from the Hedgehog Man's tightly strangled throat. At this moment, his eyes bulged, his face flushed, his legs floating in the air kept swinging, and his two hands tightly grasped the silver hand at his neck, trying to break free from the restraints and get a few precious oxygen.

Unfortunately, even though his fingertips were broken when he scratched with his five fingers, all he could do was leave blood marks on the solid silver skin.

As for the sharp short thorn that he was so proud of, it broke at the touch of the silver hand and was of no use in stopping the enemy.

"Crack!"

The words of begging for mercy were interrupted by the sound of broken bones before he could finish. Xu Yue clenched his five fingers, and the neck of the hedgehog man who was struggling in his hands suddenly collapsed inward, and the entire neck was almost completely broken by him.

You killed Spike the Hedgehog.

[The Hedgehog is an important member of the Brotherhood, and has obtained 2.9% of the World Source. Now he has obtained a total of 10.2% of the World Source.]
