Looking at the system's prompt, Zhang Bei twitched his lips. No wonder this bug was so tough.
It turns out it had a talent for this, even bullets couldn't penetrate it.
As the system's prompt finished, Zhang Bei immediately felt it.
His skin, it felt like it had been upgraded several levels.
Once in a defensive state, even if someone had a knife, they wouldn't be able to hurt him.
“What a terrifying word attribute! Luckily I had that bundle of explosives.”
Zhang Bei felt a little scared. He wasn't invincible after all.
The raging fire outside also pulled Zhang Bei's thoughts back.
He had a lot of word attributes now, he had to synthesize them once he got out.
“Go!” The young man said to everyone.
Although the fire was raging, it also prevented the bugs from approaching.
This was definitely good for them, so they had to take this opportunity to leave as soon as possible.
Led by the young man, the group carefully walked along a narrow path on the cliff face.
Luckily, the young man led the way. Otherwise, who would have known about such a path?
A path that could barely fit a foot was their only way out?
As the fire behind them gradually weakened, they finally reached the end of the cliff.
It was a small cave. The young man looked back at the terrifying swarm of bugs in the thick smoke.
He knew they couldn't stay here for long. If those bugs caught up to them.
They wouldn't have any other countermeasures.
“Go quickly, there's a spring inside the cave, follow the spring,” the young man shouted.
Everyone didn't care anymore, they immediately ran towards the spring and jumped in.
After entering the water, the young man continued to lead the way.
This seemed to be an underground river. As they went deeper, they discovered the force of the current.
Fortunately, everyone had good stamina. They finally passed through the underground river.
They saw light shining from above, giving them hope.
Swimming towards the light, they realized they had reached a river.
Everyone took deep breaths of fresh air, it all felt so unreal.
Who would have thought that the spring would lead to the outside.
“We should be downstream of Ma'an Village, quite a distance away.”
After checking the map, Zhang Haike said as he came ashore.
“No, no, everyone just rest for a bit?”
Zhang Hai Xing sat down on the ground and said.
The wet Zhang Hai Xing was now showing off her girlish grace.
Even Zhang Bei couldn't help but take a second look.
As if sensing Zhang Bei's gaze, Zhang Hai Ke silently stood in front of his sister.
The Zhang family practiced intra-family marriage, but Zhang Bei was just purely admiring her.
This girl was too petite, not his type.
“I think the underground river must have dried up and changed course here?” Zhang Jiu Ri asked.
The young man shook his head, “No, this river was built to stop those bugs.”
“What kind of bug is it? That bug king was hard as rock.” Zhang Bei couldn't help but ask.
Everyone else was also curious, it seemed they didn't know either.
“It's a kind of cicada, raised in a way similar to a Gu Chong, very fierce. Each swarm will produce a queen and a king.”
The young man seemed to know and explained to everyone.
If it was just a normal cicada, everyone might not care, but from the young man's words, it was actually a Gu Chong?
This bug was really fierce, now everyone had bite marks from these bugs.
“Bad news, we only killed the bug king, what about the queen?” Zhang Bei said.
The young man said, “No need to worry, once the king dies, the queen will also die. But the swarm is still there, waiting for the next invader.”
Zhang Bei frowned, this was still too dangerous.
Once these bugs broke out, they would likely cause a disaster.
“Don't worry, once those bugs come out, they won't live long. They can only survive in very cold places.”
The young man seemed to have seen Zhang Bei's worry and said.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Those bugs were really too dangerous.
“Everyone rest for a bit and then go back. We've finished this wild trial.”
Zhang Nian said impatiently.
They had found the Zhang family's celestial staff together, this was a symbol of the Zhang family's head.
Upon returning, they would definitely be taken seriously by the Zhang family. He was already impatient.
Everyone didn't think much of it, they had been out for a while.
They had been very smooth along the way, and their relationship quickly warmed up.
Everyone was chatting and laughing along the way, even Zhang Nian didn't act like a jerk anymore.
“System, random synthesis of white word attributes!”
Now Zhang Bei had accumulated a lot of white word attributes.
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained a blue word attribute: Forceful and Heavy!”
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained a blue word attribute: Forceful and Heavy!”
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained a blue word attribute: Average Aptitude!”
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained a blue word attribute: Forceful and Heavy!”
Accumulating so many white word attributes, he only got four blue word attributes in the end.
“Open the panel!”
Zhang Bei was a little dissatisfied and said in his mind.
“Host: Zhang Bei!”
“White Word Attributes: None!”
“Blue Word Attributes: Average Aptitude*3, Forceful and Heavy*4, Reversion!”
“Green Word Attributes: Genius, Innate Strength, Agile*3, Unerring Aim, Copper Skin and Iron Bones!”
“Purple: None!”
“Red: None!”
“Golden: Godly Forge!”
After looking at his panel, Zhang Bei thought for a moment.
“Synthesize and upgrade all the blue word attributes except Reversion!”
“Synthesis and upgrade successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a green word attribute: Recovery!”
Looking at the new word attribute, Zhang Bei was a little confused, so he carefully looked at the effect of Recovery.
Recovery: When the host is injured, they can quickly recover. It is the lowest level of self-healing ability.
As the word attributes were combined and upgraded, Zhang Bei noticed his wounds were a little itchy.
It was clearly a self-healing ability, this was a good ability, and this was only the lowest level.
“Now there are eight green word attributes, should I keep synthesizing?”
Now Zhang Bei was hesitant. These word attributes all had great effects.
Genius made his aptitude at least on par with most of the Zhang family.
Who knows, if he gets a Stupid Aptitude later, and Genius gets washed away, then there's nowhere to cry.
“Wait for now!” Zhang Bei decided to keep them for now.
Moreover, random word attributes can only be synthesized into random ones. If they were the same word attributes, they could be upgraded.
For example, now his green word attribute Agile has three of them.
If there were four more, then Agile would be upgraded to purple, and it would still be an upgraded Agile attribute.
“Now, to improve my own strength, it seems like I can only rely on Godly Forge.”
Zhang Bei also thought in his heart. It would be a pity if this golden word attribute wasn't utilized.
Finally, after a few days of travel, they finally returned to the Northeast.
As soon as they arrived at the Zhang family, Zhang Bei couldn't wait to go back to his courtyard.
(There was a low-level error in the ninth chapter. It should be green word attributes, not blue word attributes.)
