Chapter 505 - 499: Jian Bing’s Desperate Stand
Lin Yuan and the others escaped from the Gourmands’ encirclement, but at this moment, Jian Bing was already caught in a trap.
Due to the urgency of time, even though Jian Bing used the fastest speed to place the final dose of Plague Liquid at the designated location.
But even so, time was already running out.
As Jian Bing was retreating, she encountered several Gourmands one after another. Under the entanglement of these Gourmands, Jian Bing’s speed was hindered.
In such circumstances, once the speed is hindered, it falls into a vicious cycle.
Because of the Gourmands’ delay, Jian Bing’s speed slowed down.
More and more Gourmands gathered, and Jian Bing’s speed became increasingly slow.
In this way, Jian Bing was thoroughly trapped within the Gourmands’ encirclement.
At this moment, looking around, all Jian Bing could see were countless Gourmands all around her.
Dense and endless, like an army of ants in the desert.
Jian Bing looked around and murmured, "Meng Zhang, Ling Guang, Zhi Ming, don’t wait for me!"
"Go quickly, you must go quickly!"
Just at this moment, yet another Gourmand launched an attack on Jian Bing.
This was a Gourmand that was over ten meters long and five or six meters tall, resembling a one-horned rhino.
Clearly herbivore in appearance, yet possessing a mouth full of sharp teeth and blood-red eyes.
On its forehead, a horn jutted out like a spear.
This one-horned rhino Gourmand was extremely frenzied, charging towards Jian Bing with the force of thunder.
Jian Bing reacted swiftly; just as the one-horned rhino Gourmand charged, she directly executed a Powerful Split of Hua Mountain.
With a huge "clang", Jian Bing’s White Tiger Battle Saber struck the rhino Gourmand’s horn but did not break it.
Instead, her White Tiger Battle Saber got stuck on the rhino Gourmand’s horn.
The strong rebound force directly cracked Jian Bing’s grip.
In an instant, blood trickled from Jian Bing’s palm.
For a moment, the two sides entered into a state of confrontation.
Clearly, this one-horned rhino Gourmand was another Tier Four Peak!
"Ah!"
At this moment, Jian Bing couldn’t help but scream toward the sky, "Where on earth did so many Tier Four Peaks come from!"
Knowing that the Tier Four Peaks in the entire Dragon Country were as rare as phoenix feathers.
Yet among these Gourmands, Tier Four Peaks sprang up like mushrooms after the rain, seemingly endless.
Jian Bing felt she was on the brink of madness.
However, this was actually normal.
Because these Gourmands had consumed everything in this world except for the Dragon Country.
That is to say, within the Dragon Country, there were still humans and some demon fiends surviving.
Elsewhere, humans and demon fiends from the Mysterious World had all become Gourmands.
And the Gourmands had no bottleneck; they could become stronger by devouring, so it’s reasonable they had more Tier Fours.
Due to Jian Bing’s cracked grip, blood trickled out, making her hand slippery and unable to exert full strength.
Moreover, the rhino Gourmand itself was known for its strength.
Therefore, in this power contest, Jian Bing gradually fell to a disadvantage.
"Thunk."
"Thunk, thunk."
Jian Bing’s steps were in constant retreat, and her steps became somewhat unsteady.
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to encounter a massive green stone during her retreat.
Jian Bing pushed against the green stone with her leg, exerting force, using the stone to halt her retreat momentarily.
Jian Bing understood that continuing like this was not a solution.
Competing in strength with this rhino Gourmand was using her weakness against their strength.
"Ah!"
With this in mind, Jian Bing let out a roar, suddenly bursting out with unprecedented strength, using her left hand to hold the rhino Gourmand’s horn.
Then, she quickly spun her right hand, creating a flourish with her saber, removing the White Tiger Battle Saber from the rhino Gourmand’s horn.
Following the momentum, she swiped upwards, grazing the rhino Gourmand’s neck.
In a flash, foul-smelling blood spurted out like a burst sewage pipe.
The rhino Gourmand’s neck was sliced a third of the way through by Jian Bing.
Seizing the moment before the rhino Gourmand could respond, Jian Bing quickly pulled away, then leaped up with force, slashing towards the rhino Gourmand.
Jian Bing’s blade was precise and beautiful, like a work of art in dance.
With both hands on her saber, Jian Bing, including her saber, spun two and a half times in the air, drawing a graceful arc before directly penetrating the rhino Gourmand’s head.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The White Tiger Battle Saber, like a razor-sharp drill, pierced through the rhino Gourmand’s head.
The rhino Gourmand’s head was drilled into a hole occupying one-third of its head. In this state, it couldn’t possibly survive.
With a loud "boom", the rhino Gourmand’s body crashed to the ground, undeniably dead.
Jian Bing withdrew her White Tiger Battle Saber, shook off the blood and brains, and then quickly tore off a piece of cloth to bind her right hand to the White Tiger Battle Saber.
His grip was injured and the White Tiger Battle Saber could slip at any moment, so tying it up was much more secure.
At this point, Jian Bing also realized that since escape was impossible, the only option was to fight to the death.
To let these monsters know, the Human Race fears nothing.
To Jian Bing, the only regret was that the good days with Lin Yuan hadn’t started, yet were already coming to an end.
The rhino Gourmand that Jian Bing had just slain was currently the strongest in her vicinity.
The remaining Gourmands weren’t as strong as the rhino Gourmand, but they were overwhelmingly numerous.
In essence, Gourmands are humans and demon fiends unable to control their devouring instincts.
Even seeing a far stronger rhino Gourmand slain by Jian Bing, the rest of the Gourmands still charged at Lin Yuan without hesitation.
This is the nature of the Gourmands; they can’t control themselves and rush forward regardless of certain death.
Seeing the swarming Gourmands, Jian Bing wielded her White Tiger Battle Saber instantly, slashing at the surrounding Gourmands.
These ordinary Gourmands were no match for Jian Bing, and as she abandoned thoughts of life and death, she unleashed her true self.
Facing countless Gourmands, she reaped them like chopping melons and slicing vegetables.
Jian Bing’s strength was formidable; even in her current weary and wounded state, she managed to slay a full hundred Gourmands in just a few minutes.
Unfortunately, a hundred Gourmands were mere drops in the ocean against the tidal wave of Gourmands, making no noticeable difference.
