Chapter 72: The Pink-haired Girl

That final strike had gathered almost all of Chen Ye's strength.

The Human-Faced Scorpion left behind a venomous glare as its massive body gradually lost all signs of life.

That enormous human face slowly dissipated under the sunlight.

Even its colossal body was gradually fading away, turning into specks of spiritual light that vanished between heaven and earth.

"Huff... huff..."

Iron Lion plopped down onto the sand dune, his body slowly shrinking back to normal.

At this moment, Iron Lion looked like a man made of blood, with several penetrating holes throughout his body.

This guy seemed like a completely different person when he fought.

The Human-Faced Scorpion's stinger had pierced straight through him, leaving bloody holes, yet he didn't even try to dodge or avoid it.

Chen Ye also dropped onto the sand dune, completely ignoring the sand and dirt sticking to his body.

The smoke slowly dispersed.

The survivors could finally clearly see the situation on the battlefield.

Chen Ye patted his pockets, only to find an empty cigarette box.

He crumpled the empty box and tossed it far away.

Cursing his bad luck under his breath.

During the most intense moments of the battle, to create smoke screens, Chen Ye could burn through half a cigarette in one breath.

If it weren't for the smoke screens, Chen Ye himself would probably have died under the Human-Faced Scorpion's stinger.

And Nana would likely be dead too.

Several times during dangerous moments, this woman would duck into the smoke, and the Human-Faced Scorpion simply couldn't find her.

The Smoke Apostle ability was quite useful indeed.

Only the Mimicry ability was somewhat lacking.

All things considered, Chen Ye hadn't awakened as a Smoke Apostle for very long.

He couldn't compare at all to people like Nana and Iron Lion who had awakened much earlier.

Let's see how many Slaughter Points I gained this time.

Chen Ye was full of anticipation as he prepared to check his Slaughter Points harvest.

After all, he had delivered the final blow.

In gaming terms, that was called securing the kill.

"Slap!"

A fierce slap landed directly on Chen Ye's face.

Chen Ye staggered from the blow.

His vision went blurry, and even the system interface was interrupted.

Looking up, he first saw a pair of long, slender, straight legs, then a slim waist he could practically wrap his hands around.

Finally, he saw a head of pink hair.

And that face swollen like steamed buns, almost squeezing her left eye into a thin line.

"Chen Ye... this is payback, one slap for another!"

"Ouch... damn that hurts."

"You bastard, did you put all your baby-feeding strength into that slap?"

After hitting Chen Ye.

Nana covered her heavily swollen cheek and wailed in pain.

A young girl getting beaten up like this meant her looks were ruined.

Even with Sequence Superpowers having amazing recovery, she was temporarily disfigured.

Seeing Nana like this, Chen Ye pointed at her and laughed heartily, earning himself a series of eye-rolls from the pink-haired girl.

"Here, for you! I settle accounts clearly."

"You hit me, so I returned the slap, but you also saved me, so this pack of cigarettes counts as repayment."

The pink-haired girl somehow produced a pack of Huazi cigarettes and tossed it to Chen Ye.

"I really don't get what's so good about smoking these."

The girl had once tried to learn smoking from Chen Ye, but couldn't stand it after just one puff.

This pack of Huazi happened to benefit Chen Ye now.

Chen Ye pulled out one and lit it: "I never thought we'd actually kill an Anomaly!"

"Since the apocalypse began, I've only heard about Anomalies being killed, but never seen it myself. I never thought we'd actually manage it today!"

The pink-haired girl's voice was filled with emotion.

"Anomalies can't be killed, but that only means they can't be killed by ordinary people!"

A clear voice sounded near the group.

Chu Che arrived barefoot, moving leisurely before everyone, though his eyes were fixed on the dissipating Human-Faced Scorpion.

"I once heard about a Sequence Two superhuman who single-handedly killed an Anomaly."

"That's impossible!"

The moment Sequence Two was mentioned, Nana reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, extremely indignant.

If what Chu Che said was true, it would be too embarrassing.

The three of them had teamed up to deal with a Human-Faced Scorpion during daytime and still ended up in this state. The gap between them and the Sequence Two Chu Che mentioned was simply too large.

Didn't that mean they were all useless?

As the top fighter of the Fair Convoy, the pink-haired girl couldn't accept this fact.

Chu Che turned and looked at Chen Ye and the pink-haired girl with a smile, his face completely saying "You still know too little about this world!"

As for Iron Lion, this guy was already asleep on the sand dune, snoring loud enough to shake the heavens.

"You still know too little about this world!"

"You've only utilized a small portion of your Sequence Superpowers' strength!"

"Even you, Nana, with the Great Xia's unique Sword Immortal Sequence, have great potential. Don't disappoint me!"

"And Chen Ye, the supernatural path is also very powerful. If it weren't for you this time, we'd probably all be dead!"

The pink-haired girl's eyelids were twitching, and Chen Ye also felt like hitting someone.

"Stop pretending to be Zhuge Liang, just spit it out if you have something to say!"

The pink-haired girl was furious.

"Ahem... have you heard of Magic Potion Capsules?"

"What are those?"

"Magic Potion Capsules are a type of magical medicine that can to some extent stimulate the potential of Sequence Superpowers."

"This kind of magical medicine is even rarer than Sequence Serums."

"I've only heard about them."

"If you could get Magic Potion Capsules... never mind... don't even think about such things."

"Sequence Superpowers, Anomalies, there are still so many things we know too little about!"

Chen Ye's heart stirred slightly.

Magic Potion Capsules?

Others might not be able to get them, but that didn't mean he couldn't.

He had the system after all. If he could exchange for Sequence Serums, he should be able to exchange for Magic Potion Capsules too.

Suppressing his thoughts, he turned his gaze to Chu Che.

Because Captain Chu's expression was very strange at the moment.

This Captain Chu's eyes were glowing as he stared fixedly at the spot where the Human-Faced Scorpion had disappeared, his steps moving in that direction.

Chen Ye followed his gaze.

He saw a black object lying on the sandy ground.

Chen Ye's heart jumped, this thing...

Then he also stood up and walked toward the black object.

The pink-haired girl curiously followed.

Captain Chu walked to where the Human-Faced Scorpion had dissipated and reached down to pick up an object from the ground.

It was a black shell that didn't look like iron or plastic.

Chen Ye recognized it—this was the carapace from the Human-Faced Scorpion.

Earlier, when Iron Lion transformed into a three-meter tall giant and wildly pummeled with his fists, he hadn't been able to inflict any damage on the Human-Faced Scorpion.

This is... Wonder material!

"Is this Wonder material?"

The pink-haired girl voiced her curiosity.

Chu Che stroked the black hard shell, his eyes flashing with a gleam of pleasant surprise.

"Such a good item. If this could be taken to auction, it might be worth billions, who knows!"

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Chen Ye directly used Appraisal.

The appraisal cost 60 Slaughter Points.

When he appraised the Flayed Ghost's Scalp before, it cost one hundred, while this only cost sixty.

It probably couldn't compare to the Flayed Ghost's Scalp.

The system quickly provided information feedback.

Seeing this appraisal result, Chen Ye knew this item definitely couldn't compare to the previous Flayed Ghost's Scalp.

But looking at Chu Che's expression.

Chen Ye suddenly realized he might have gotten an incredibly good deal.

"Chen Ye, Chu Che, there's another one over here..."
