I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 850 The Core of Life

"No, get out of the way!"

Looking at the minotaur who suddenly regained some mobility due to Feng Yuan's words, Qin Zhong's face suddenly changed. He grabbed Feng Yuan and quickly retreated.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly and left the place before the huge rock fell to the ground. Otherwise, even with Qin Zhong and Feng Yuan's physique, they would not feel good after being hit by such a blow.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the huge fragments of the city wall were smashed into the ground by the Minotaur. A large amount of gravel and dust instantly filled the air, making it difficult to breathe.

However, although the Minotaur resumed its actions and launched this raid, the price of its recovery was extremely heavy. The next moment, it returned to its puppet state, standing still and unable to move.

A large amount of blood kept flowing out from the corners of its mouth and nasal cavity, and it looked extremely miserable.

“Fuck, Brother Qin, isn’t this guy unable to move?”

Looking at the ground that was smashed into pieces, Feng Yuan patted his chest with lingering fear, looked at Qin Zhong, and couldn't help complaining.

The battle is almost over. It would be a shame to get injured or even die at this moment.

Hearing Feng Yuan's complaint, Qin Zhong couldn't help but roll his eyes. "What are you talking about? If you hadn't provoked it so much that it would rather get hurt than kill you, it wouldn't have escaped my control."

"Uh!" Feng Yuan shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that your method is not very reliable. Paying a small price to break free from control, it seems so easy!"

"easy?"

In response to Feng Yuan's indifference, Qin Zhong looked at the blood-stained minotaur and said seriously, "You should know that the liquid metal I left inside it has now solidified into a sea urchin, covered in thorns. To break free from these metal sea urchins stuck in its joints, not only does it require tremendous strength, but it also requires enduring the excruciating pain of silver needles scraping bones. This is not something that ordinary people can do!"

"hiss!"

Feng Yuan and the others all gasped. The pain was so severe that just hearing it made people feel like dying, but it could still resist. For a moment, everyone looked at the minotaur with a little more strangeness in their eyes.

"Will it attack us again?"

Looking at the Minotaur who had regained his composure, Feng Yuan cautiously took a few steps forward and asked tentatively, "I don't want to be killed by it while I'm studying it. That would be too unfair."

"Don't worry. This guy's bones and joints were damaged in his previous forced break. Besides, I've changed the shape of the liquid metal. It's impossible for him to break free from the shackles and attack again."

Qin Zhong shook his head confidently and said, "Besides, even if it really breaks free from its shackles again, its scarred bones will surely break due to its intense struggle. By then, it will be like a high-level paraplegic, posing almost no threat."

"Okay, great, Brother Qin. Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you for nothing. We will share any research results. In addition, I will continue to provide you with large quantities of rare metals as compensation. How about that?"

After getting Qin Zhong's assurance, Feng Yuan was completely relieved. He patted his chest and made many promises.

After receiving Qin Zhong's approval, Feng Yuan couldn't help but walk towards the minotaur, wanting to observe it closely. But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

……

"Puff puff!"

Accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, long and thin lines of blood suddenly spurted out from the Minotaur's body.

Moreover, as time went by, more and more blood spurted out of its body. In less than a minute, the entire ground was dyed a light blue.

The azure land glows brightly under the sunlight, appearing both beautiful and eerie.

"Oh no! It can't suppress the raging blood in its body. It's dying!"

Seeing this scene, Feng Yuan's face changed and he immediately used space teleportation to appear in front of the minotaur.

Capturing the Minotaur alive would be a tremendous treasure. While the crystal core within it is a modified biological weapon, unusable by humans, the immense life force within it can be absorbed by anyone. Seizing that core would allow anyone to take a significant step forward in their evolution.

Feng Yuan, blinded by greed, was so eager to seize the Life Core that he didn't notice Qin Zhong, who was silently watching his actions. Seeing him rush forward impatiently, Qin Zhong's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

"Moo! Human, die!"

Just as Feng Yuan rushed to the Minotaur and was about to chop open its head to seize the crystal core, an unexpected accident happened that no one had expected.

The minotaur's eyes, which were tightly closed in pain, suddenly opened. He roared towards the sky, raised his right fist and smashed it towards Feng Yuan in mid-air.

This punch was as heavy as a mountain and as powerful as thunder, catching Feng Yuan off guard.

The Minotaur's full-strength punch was so terrifying that it even caused bursts of sharp air explosions during the swing.

Faced with the sudden attack from the Minotaur, Feng Yuan was horrified and had no time to use space teleportation. In desperation, he could only draw the space energy in his hand and cast a space shield.

At the same time, he gathered all his energy into his hands and used them to block in front of him, trying to block the thundering blow.

"Bang...Crack!"

This blow was the last one in the Minotaur's life. Although Feng Yuan responded in time and the space shield blocked part of the Minotaur's force, the remaining force was still too much to bear.

Accompanied by a dull sound of flesh hitting flesh, Feng Yuan was hit heavily by the Minotaur into the ruins of a city wall like a cannonball.

At the same time, a crisp sound of broken bones was heard when Feng Yuan sank into the ruins of the city wall. Obviously, this blow had seriously injured him.

"How is this possible? How can this monster still move?"

Looking at the Minotaur who had knocked Feng Yuan into the ruins with one punch, Qin Zhong exclaimed in shock and shouted, "Damned Minotaur, die!"

After saying that, he clasped his hands together, transforming them into a huge silver blade, and leaped towards the minotaur.

"Kakaka!"

Just as Qin Zhong rushed towards the minotaur, bursts of slight sounds came from the minotaur's body.

Afterwards, a large amount of azure blood continued to flow out of the minotaur's mouth and nose. At the same time, its blood-red pupils suddenly dimmed and gradually turned gray.

"kill!"

At the moment when the minotaur's eyes dimmed, Qin Zhong rushed in front of it, swung his long blade, and turned it into a silver light, piercing through the minotaur's body.

Accompanied by a dull sound of broken bones and flesh, the huge body of the minotaur was instantly cut into two pieces by Qin Zhong. At the same time, a violet crystal core the size of a human head was held in Qin Zhong's hand.

This is exactly a level six crystal core.

"The core of life!"

Looking at the crystal core in Qin Zhong's hand, Xue Lingxue, who was as fair as snow, suddenly screamed, and then took a few steps forward, as if she wanted to see the crystal core in Qin Zhong's hand clearly.

"Go check on Feng Yuan!"

Looking at Xue Lingxue who was slowly approaching him, Qin Zhong suddenly felt a sense of alert in his heart. Then, he shouted, put the crystal core in his arms, and rushed towards the direction where Feng Yuan fell.

For some reason, Qin Zhong has always been wary of this seemingly harmless little girl.

He always suspected that maybe, just as the Minotaur said, this girl had been lying all along, Xue Lingxue was Meng Da Kalucci, and Meng Da Kalucci was Xue Lingxue.

The reason why she claimed that she was a human who had devoured the memories of the X-people was simply that she wanted to escape the pursuit of the X-people by using her human identity or the recognition of Feng Yuan and others, and by using the Kyoto government as a shelter.
