Chapter 117: Skirmish

Barely a second later, an ice arrow flew towards them.

The arrow was half a metre long and one finger thick.

However, it carried an unstoppable momentum that froze the air around it.

’Level two ice ability superpower.’ Qin Wu thought and narrowed her eyes.

At the same time, she waved her hand, and a space blade flew out.

Soon after, the arrow and blade collided, and a loud crack was heard.

Instantaneously, the arrow broke but the space blade continued towards the ice superpower.

“Damned it.” The person cursed and hurriedly avoided the space blade.

“Hand over the level three crystal core and we won’t make things difficult for you.” Someone shouted.

“You may be a level three superpower but you are exhausted after fighting that mutant plant. Do you think you can defeat all of us?”

“What’s the point of fighting amongst ourselves? Hand over the crystal core and save yourself the trouble.”

Qin Wu sneered when she heard this but she soon smiled.

“There is only one crystal core. How will you divide it amongst yourselves?” She asked.

“It’s none of your business. You only need to hand over the crystal and get lost.” A female superpower said, glaring at Qin Wu with contemptuous eyes.

“The crystal has nothing to do with you and how we divide it is up to us.”

“Bunch of vultures!” Qin Wu snorted and unleashed three space blades.

If the previous attack was a warning, this one was real and contained unstoppable power.

In the blink of an eye, the space blades attacked three people and three arms fell to the ground.

“Don’t push your luck.” Qin Wu said.

Although she was tired, she had enough strength to deal with the troublemakers.

Most importantly, she didn’t start the trouble and killing the few was considered self-defence.

Even if the army investigated the matter, she and Mo Chenxuan would have nothing to worry about.

“My hand.” Someone screamed and hastily knelt to pick up his arm from the ground.

“How dare you cripple sister Li? I will deal with you.”

“If you refuse to drink a toast, we will force you to suffer a forfeit.”

Hearing this, Qin Wu chuckled.

“You are overestimating yourselves.” She said and prepared to unleash another attack.

However, before she could, another rushed towards them.

“Stop.” A female voice reverberated in the area.

Looking at the source, everyone saw Ling Hua leading a group of soldiers towards them.

“How dare you cause trouble during an army mission?” She chastised.

At the same time, she silently assessed the situation.

“What happened here?” She asked.

“These bastards are trying to rob us.” Someone shouted, pointing at Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan.

“It’s true. We joined forces to kill the level three mutant plant but they are refusing to share the spoils.”

Ling Hua frowned when she heard this and turned to Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan.

“Is what they said true?” She asked, her eyebrows raised in question.

“We have video.” Mo Chenxuan said and waved a video recorder.

Seeing this, the troublemakers lowered their heads, feeling annoyed.

Generally, photos were enough proof of task completion.

Who bothered with taking videos?

“Captain Ling, do you want to see the video?” Qin Wu asked with a mischievous expression.

However, before Ling Hua could say anything, someone stepped up.

“It’s just a level three crystal core. What’s the point of going to so much trouble?” He said and dragged his people to leave the place.

“It’s not like we won’t encounter other level three zombies and mutant plants.” Another said and also hastily left.

“What about you?” Qin Wu asked, looking at several others.

“This matter is not over.”

“My hand won’t be lost in vain.”

“Don’t think you can get away with robbing us.”

After saying some threatening words, the remaining people left, leaving the army group, Mo Chenxuan, and Qin Wu.

“You have completed the mission?” Ling Hua asked and Qin Wu nodded before explaining the details.

After ensuring everything was in order, Ling Hua filled out a task card and gave it to Qin Wu.

“You can use this card to redeem ten thousand task points after we return to the base.” She said.

“Thank you, Captain Ling.”

“Mmh.” Ling Hua nodded with a thoughtful expression.

“You should be careful for the remainder of the mission.” She reminded and Qin Wu nodded.

“We know.”

After that, the army transported the injured survivors while Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu took their time returning to the convoy.

While walking, they collected supplies and assessed the town’s situation.

Unfortunately, they discovered no survivors, which confirmed their previous assumption.

“That mutated pebble plant was too greedy.” Qin Wu said.

“It’s a good thing we discovered it on time. Otherwise, it would have become more difficult to deal with after improving its level.” Mo Chenxuan said.

By the time they returned to the gathering place, their information had already spread to every member of the convoy.

As a result, the two felt eyes on them as they walked to where Team Legends was waiting.

’As expected, we can’t be low-key any longer.’ Qin Wu thought.

“Boss Mo, boss Qin, welcome back.” Xu Fei greeted as soon as he saw the two.

“Did anything happen while we were away?” Qin Wu asked.

“Nothing out of the ordinary.” The man answered and soon continued.

“Our team has suddenly become famous.”

“It can’t be helped.” Qin Wu sighed.

She and Mo Chenxuan expected this.

However, they didn’t mind it too much.

Although they had always kept a low profile, they always knew that would change sooner or later.

“Wu’er and I need to rest for a short while. Keep an eye out. Don’t miss any changes.” Mo Chenxuan said and the others nodded.

After that, the two entered their car and began to replenish their abilities.

One hour passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, a loud voice echoed through the surroundings.

“You can enter the town to collect supplies and rest for the night. However, everyone must be ready to leave at first light.” The voice said, resulting in an excited cheer along the convoy.
