Chapter 95: The Pervert is Here! You’re Done For!
But she also knew that she couldn’t kill the Zerg Empress with just herself and a Zhu Que Spear.
The most important thing right now was to save Hong Que. With him heavily injured, not only was Mo Yin unable to display his full strength, but the Zhu Que was the same.
Xie Qiang aimed the tip of the spear at the pointed limb piercing Hong Queâs throat. Perhaps because it had been inserted from behind in a sneak attack, it was difficult for Hong Que to pull it out himself. Now that he was unconscious, he was even more unable to act. To pull that spike out…
She had to shoot off the Zerg Empressâs limb from behind Hong Que first.
âPhew, alright. I hope your firepower and range are a bit better.â
Xie Qiang held her breath, squinting one eye slightly, focusing intently on the spike. After confirming it was correctâBang!
The flame bullet trailed a crimson streak as it flew rapidly toward the limbâs spike. Xie Qiang watched the bulletâs trajectory tensely. Finally, the flame bullet struck the metallic spike with precision.
With a crisp click, it left only a shallow scar.
Xie Qiang: ???
Xie Qiang hurriedly shrank back into the fork in the path. In the distance, the Zerg Empress felt herself being attacked and immediately turned her head toward the source of the bullet.
Several pairs of compound eyes swept over, but she saw no one.
She gave a screech, then cautiously held her abdomen and crawled in another direction.
At the fork, Xie Qiang looked down at the Zhu Que Spear in her hand, saying in disbelief, âWhy are you so useless???â
It was no different from the power it had shown when it hit the crystal chandelier pendant. Xie Qiang couldn’t help but suspect she was using it incorrectly.
The sound of the Zerg Empress leaving echoed in the distance. Xie Qiangâs heart tightened. Her current position was at the very edge of the routes Xiao Hong had explored. If the Zerg Empress went somewhere off the map, she would likely have to spend much more time to find a place where she could see the Empress while ensuring her own safety.
Every minute she was late, Hong Que could be killed by the Zerg Empress on a whim.
Xie Qiang gripped the Zhu Que Spear. She didn’t believe this spear was only this powerful; she had to have missed something.
She remembered this spear was condensed from mental power carrying the divine power of the Zhu Que… wait, mental power?
Xie Qiangâs heart thundered. Could the way to use the Zhu Que Spear be like some magical artifacts in cultivation novels that require spiritual power to use? Did it need mental power to trigger its original power?
Without hesitation, she immediately gripped the Zhu Que Spear and injected her own mental power into it. Almost instantly, the spear emitted an extremely dazzling light, forcing Xie Qiang to close her eyes.
Something hard suddenly thudded against her chest, and the weight of the Zhu Que Spear in her hand became much heavier. Xie Qiang opened her eyes in confusion, only to see that the originally small handgun had becomeâ
A sniper rifle.
Two cute cat-ear shapes grew at the tip of the barrel. The originally domineering and cool crimson body had become a blue-and-white frame, with several small ragdoll cat faces with different expressions protruding from the gunâs body.
Xie Qiang: …
Does the Zhu Que Spear even come with custom skins?!
Forget it, save him first!
Xie Qiang flipped over and strode to the fork. She immediately set up the sniper rifle and aimed at the spike of the Zerg Empressâs limb.
Shooâ
The powerful recoil nearly shattered Xie Qiangâs shoulder, causing the crimson flame bullet to deviate from her originally estimated trajectory. She bit her lip to endure the pain in her shoulder. Just as she was about to aim and fire again, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the direction of the Zerg Empress in the distance.
Then, a miserable screech rang out. âSss-yingâ!â
The strong impact of the explosion spread in all directions. Tian Lang, beside her, quickly tackled Xie Qiang, pinning her beneath his soft abdomen to endure the shockwave surging through the tunnel.
Once the impact passed, Xie Qiang hurriedly pushed Tian Lang aside and quickly locked onto the Zerg Empress. She saw that the limb skewering Hong Que had been blown apart, blue Zerg blood flowing out continuously from the severed stump.
Xie Qiang looked down at the sniper rifle in her hand, her small face twitching subtly.
She had only wanted to shoot off the spike on the Zerg Empressâs limb, but due to the recoil, the bullet had deviated and crippled her entire limb?
With power this strong, theoretically, Hong Que should be able to take down the Zerg Empress alone. Why did Sen Ji need to step in? Or was it that the Zhu Que Spear wasn’t actually that powerful, but because it had been injected with her mental power, it had evolved?
Xie Qiang didn’t have time to think. She flipped onto Tian Langâs back and ordered in a soft but serious voice, âGo! Save Hong Que!â
Tian Lang gave an âAwooâ and sprinted toward the Zerg Empress. Seeing that one of the Empressâs limbs had been blown apart by the Zhu Que Spearâs bullet, the Zhu Que above couldn’t help but flap its wings excitedly, turning into a blood-red shooting star as it slammed into her abdomen!
The pervert is here! You’re done for!
âTian Lang! Go help Xiao Hong!â Reaching the spot where Hong Que had fallen, Xie Qiang directed Tian Lang to assist Xiao Hong in drawing the Zerg Empressâs attention. Meanwhile, she withdrew a portion of her mental power and raised the Zhu Que Spear to blast off the section of spike in front of Hong Queâs throat.
Then, she sat behind Hong Que, using her feet against his slanted back for leverage, and pulled the spike out with force.
Blood instantly began to spill from Hong Queâs throat. Xie Qiang hurried over, covering his neck wound tightly with both hands, injecting a massive amount of mental power.
âHong Que, Iâve come to save you. Hang in there!â
Her voice trembled. Beneath her hands, the red-haired youthâs sticky, hot blood was still gushing out. Seeing Hong Queâs face turn increasingly pale, she lowered her head and suddenly captured his lips.
A little more, just a little more!
Please, don’t die…
The youth beneath her suddenly shuddered. His throat bones healed bit by bit. He opened his bloodshot eyes, and when he saw the girlâs panicked and reddened cat eyes, his heart couldn’t help but tremble.
Why was she here?!
Did she have any idea how dangerous this place was!
Hong Queâs heart was in turmoil. The screeching of the Zerg Empress echoed in his earsâthat was the signal to summon nearby Zerg. A high-level insect tide would soon surge this way. At that time, Xie Qiang would inevitably fall into danger, and her life might even be at risk.
But even so… she hadn’t moved at all, insisting on continuing his purification treatment.
Did she like him this much? So much that she would risk her life to save him? So much that she trusted him unconditionally to recover and protect her?
Hong Que felt both bitterness and sweetness in his heart. He struggled to raise his hand, brushed back the hair hanging from Xie Qiangâs head, and then cupped her cheek, pressing her lips firmly against his own.
Dummy, you have to use your tongue for the effect to be even better.
Not far away, Mo Yinâwho had finally arrived staggering while clutching his throatâwatched the two kissing on the ground. His calm wolf eyes trembled slightly. He bit his lip, forced himself to look away, and turned his gaze toward the Zerg Empress.
Having lost an arm, the Zerg Empress clearly lost interest in toying with the Zhu Que. After batting the bird against the wormholeâs stone wall, she swung her limb against Tian Langâs abdomen, sending him flying, and turned her gaze toward Xie Qiang and Hong Que.
âSss-yingâ!â
Her gaze swept over the Zhu Que Spear on the ground. Her crimson compound eyes stared fixedly at Xie Qiang, and a long trail of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Delicious.
The delicacy from the human base has been found.
If I eat her, my wounds will heal!
Translatorâs Note: “The pervert is here!” (čŽć äžäş!) â Xiao Hong (Red Wings) is such a troll. And Xie Qiang’s sniper rifle having cat ears and ragdoll cat faces is the most “magical girl” transformation ever in a Sentinel-Guide novel. Purification through kissing is a common trope, but the Emperorâs daughter is really going all out!
