Chapter 93 - An Awakened from Higher up
Chapter 93: An Awakened from Higher up
“There’s an ambush nearby,” Liu Yan reminded the others in a low voice.
Murong Xue and Chu Long immediately became alert when they heard this.
At this moment, Liu Yan looked at a patch of grass not far away. He was clearly not moving, but Liu Yan knew that the other party was already hiding there, preparing to ambush him. How sly.
Liu Yan said faintly, “Sir, if you want to make a move, then just do it.”
Hearing Liu Yan’s words, the figure in the grass was obviously surprised. He had hidden himself so well, but was still discovered by Liu Yan.
The other party revealed himself. His clothes were sloppy and tattered, and there were flowers and grass on his body, seemingly on purpose. He wanted to hide himself, and even made the scent of his body similar to the flowers and grass in the forest.
Only Liu Yan had Omniscient Insight, and could detect him by listening to his heartbeat.
Other Awakened or fierce beasts would not be able to detect him even if they walked right by him.
This person had hidden himself so well that even those with low-level perception skills could not detect him.
The trio was quite surprised when they saw the other party. Judging from his clothes, it was obvious that he was not one of the Awakened like Liu Yan.
Murong Xue frowned slightly and said, “You’re not from this batch of the Awakened. You came from the higher levels of the Tower!”
“Girl, you’re quite smart, aren’t you? Looks like you know my identity. Why don’t you stop asking for trouble and just obey.”
The man said with some surprise, while his wretched gaze kept wandering around Murong Xue and Chu Long.
He was not from this batch of the Awakened, but was an Awakened from the higher levels of the tower.
It was just that the higher levels of the tower were too dangerous and terrifying. All his teammates had died in battle and he suffered heavy losses.
Afterwards, this Awakened managed to find a way to get himself from the higher level to the third level of the tower.
Thus, he decided to stay here and live on the lower levels.
It was just as well that there would be a continued stream of new Awakened arriving at the lower levels. This person would kill them, steal their resources, and continue living on just like this.
To put it bluntly, this was equivalent to a high-level player entering an area with many amateurs, and staying to kill them off.
The Awakened who entered the Tower might have high talent grades, but they were not matured yet. They were not strong and naturally were not his opponent.
Anyway, the Awakened thought that food and drink on the lower levels were decent.
After all, he had come down from the higher levels of the tower. The ordinary fierce beast from the lower levels of the tower were nothing to him. It was easy to kill and eat these fierce beasts.
One thing that he felt that was lacking the most was undoubtedly women.
Living here without any entertainment was far too boring.
It was rare to see beautiful ladies like Murong Xue and Chu Long. The Awakened had his eyes wide open. The appearance of an obedient and sexy girl satisfied all the man’s fantasies about women.
If he could enslave these two beauties, the man thought that he would lead a happy, god-like life in the future.
At this moment, Liu Yan and Chu Long were also slightly surprised.
“The Awakened from the upper levels can enter the lower level?” Chu Long asked with some doubt.
Murong Xue nodded with a fearful expression. She explained, “Before entering the Tower, I’ve heard from my family members that some people from the Tower can create a hack to enter the lower levels from a higher one. Although they cannot pass the trials in the higher levels, the Awakened and fierce beasts on the lower levels are nothing to them. They completely dominate here, Thus, they just stay on the lower levels and continue to bully the newcomers.”
Hearing this, Liu Yan understood the situation vaguely. If this was the case, the other party’s strength should be very strong. No wonder when he used his Omniscient Insight, it was obvious that this person was on a completely different level from the average Awakened.
At this moment, a cold smile appeared on the man’s face, revealing his terrible teeth.
Due to the fact that the man often ate fierce beasts and didn’t pay much attention to cleaning his teeth, they were quite dirty, making him look quite terrifying.
“Since you know my identity and my strength, you should submit to me and stay here to serve me!” The man stared at Murong Xue and Chu Long with a lecherous gaze.
“Get lost!” Murong Xue’s hot temper could not bear such comments, and so she scolded him.
When the man heard this, his face turned cold and he said, “Then don’t blame me for teaching all of you a lesson. You people asked for it.”
As he said this, the man raised his dagger and rushed towards Liu Yan and the others.
Murong Xue knew that the man was a powerful Awakened from the higher levels of the tower. She did not dare to let her guard down and immediately activated the third layer of the tyrant body as she rushed towards him.
Chu Long was also on standby, ready to heal the others at any time.
Liu Yan was not very worried when he saw this.
Although he did not know the exact strength of the other party, Liu Yan could sense the man’s aura and gauge his strength through Omniscient Insight.
Liu Yan could sense that the other party’s strength was clearly much stronger than the other Awakened from the third level of the tower. He estimated that the other party’s should be above Level 20.
However, this man was still much weaker compared to the Golden-Armored Blue Ape and the ancient champosaurus.
Liu Yan could force a draw with the Golden-Armored Blue Ape, so there was naturally no need for him to be afraid.
At this moment, Murong Xue activated her full strength and rushed over. The two of them met.
However, in almost an instant, Murong Xue realized that she had already lost.
Murong Xue’s attack was dodged by the opponent at a ridiculous speed. Then, he suddenly appeared behind Murong Xue and activated Backstab.
The dagger used in the attack was not weak. In addition to the power from the man’s attack, Murong Xue was severely injured.
Chu Long’s healing skill arrived at once.
However, Murong Xue’s injuries were too serious. Chu Long’s healing only provided temporary relief, and Murong Xue remained injured, losing her combat abilities.
Seeing this, Liu Yan attacked immediately.
Since the man was an Awakened that relied heavily on speed, Liu Yan thought to use his own speed skill, too.
Liu Yan activated his S-Grade skill, Sixteen Times the Speed of Sound!
Liu Yan appeared beside the man instantly, and he placed a hand on the man’s shoulder.
When the man saw this, his eyes were filled with fear.
He had come down from the higher levels of the tower, and he was also an Awakened who specialized in speed. Yet, Liu Yan was completely superior when it came to speed.
Instantly, the man looked at Liu Yan as if he was looking at a monster.
However, Liu Yan had already made his move. He activated his A-Grade skill, Blazing Tyrant Fist, and struck the man’s chest with a single punch.
Under the tremendous force, the man was heavily injured.
Meanwhile, Liu Yan’s continuous attacks arrived one after another.
After a few punches, the man fell to the ground, as dead as a doornail.
Murong Xue, who was at the side, saw what happened. She had a shocked expression on her face. Just now, the man’s speed had already made her feel terrified. However, she had not expected that Liu Yan’s speed was actually scarier.
Murong Xue did not even see what exactly happened. She only felt a gust of wind pass by her.
When she looked up again, Liu Yan, who was clearly behind her, had already appeared in front of her. He had even finished off this enemy. His speed was truly terrifying.
