My Special Ability Is Perfect Replication

Chapter 63 - Long-legged Phasmids, Super C.h.e.s.tnut

Xu Yuanhui rejected Ling Jiuʼs request.

He had seen Ling Jiu and his teamʼs data before and knew what their strengths were.

Although he was surprised that Ling Jiu had become a Level 4 Arcanist at just 16 years, he was uncertain that Ling Jiu could kill a Class 5 Direbeast.

A Level 4 Arcanist.

A Class 5 Direbeast.

That was two totally different levels!

Not to mention that there was not one Class 5 Direbeast in Meizi Town, but three, and there were also 41 Class 4 Direbeasts and countless Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 Direbeasts.

How could Ling Jiuʼs squad of 11 destroy such a terrifying Direbeast pack?

However, he could not resist Ling Jiuʼs pestering, and in the end Xu Yuanhui ordered the maglev airship to come to Meizi Town. Without any delay, Ling Jiu took his team members down to the bamboo forest around Meizi Town.

A bamboo forest?

The bamboo forest before him was very different from Ling Jiuʼs memory. Bamboo should be long and thin, but the bamboos in this bamboo forest were thick and long instead.

It was clear that the bamboo forest had evolved!

”I never thought that in 30 short years, the bamboo forest had grown till like this.” Zhou Dun looked at the forest as he was awed.

”Zhou Dun, youʼve come here before?” Huang Hailong asked with a smile.

”Iʼm a native of Meizi Town!” Zhou Dun explained. ”Thirty years ago, before the Direbeast incursion, I spent my childhood in Meizi Town.”

”Back then, in order to stop soil erosion and to protect the environment, the government had planted over 6,000 odd acres of bamboo forest, 8,600 acres of c.h.e.s.tnut trees, and about 2,500 acres of mulberry trees.”

”Back then, we would dig out bamboo shoots during spring, have mulberries during summer, and c.h.e.s.tnuts during winter. Every day was carefree and joyful!”

”However, everything changed when I was seven. The Direbeast incursion happened, and the entire town was evacuated, and I left the Meizi Town that I have spent my childhood!”

”I never thought once I left it would be thirty years since. By the time I got back to my hometown, Iʼve already grown from a boy into a boomer now. Sigh!”

Everyone nodded and fully understood how Zhou Dun was feeling. All of them were in their thirties, and had experienced the same thing as Zhou Dun, so they could feel the same thing as him.

Just as everyone was reminiscing, a sudden rip of the air rang out as a sharp bamboo was raised and came crashing down.

The bamboo was the size of an a.d.u.l.tʼs t.h.i.g.h, and its root was extremely sharp, as it stabbed at Meng Lijun like a spear.

Dush!

The bamboo spear stabbed through Meng Lijunʼs shoulder in an instant, and the stab went through him as the bamboo spear stabbed into the ground.

”Lijun!”

Chen Feng yelled as he pulled out the war knife on his back into a slash. A loud crack rang out and the bamboo was cut into two, with green blood spewing out of the wound.

”Grurrruhhh!”

A shrill scream came from the top, and everyone looked up. Above them was a 10 meter long bamboo pole as thick as an a.d.u.l.t wrapping their arms around a tree.

A bamboo pole?

This scene was somewhat terrifying!

”Sh*t! Itʼs the Long-legged Phasmid!”

Huang Hailong yelled. ”Watch out! Itʼs the Long-legged Phasmid!”

”The Long-legged Phasmid?”

Ling Jiu could not help but take a few more looks. From the outside, this Long-legged Phasmid was no different than a bamboo pole in terms of its color and its shape...

If it stood still or did not move, it looked literally the same as the bamboos around it, totally indistinguishable.

”Olʼ Meng, how are you faring?”

Chen Feng asked concernedly.

”Iʼm fine!”

When lightly injured, he could transform into this form to heal his wounds. This was part of his ability.

”You dare to hurt me. Die!”

Meng Lijun, who had now transformed into a Tungsten Giant was thoroughly enraged as he leapt up high, and slammed his fist onto the Long-legged Phasmid.

Crack!!

Meng Lijunʼs fist shattered the Long-legged Phasmidʼs body and a large amount of dark green blood gushed out.

”Grurrruhhh!”

The Long-legged Phasmid screamed as it brandished its remaining five legs as it stabbed at Meng Lijun in a frenzy.

Sadly, in this state, Meng Lijun was extremely tough, and the bamboo spears only managed sparks when they struck him.

Meng Lijun shot out several punches, and all five of the bamboo spear legs were broken. The Long-legged Phasmid let out a shrill scream as it fell from the sky onto the ground.
