I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 65 Losses

In the darkness, an imperceptible gaze was fixed on Wang Jianyan.

Chen Yiming and Wang Jianyan noticed it at the same time.

However, in the next moment, the feeling of being stared at disappeared, and in a few seconds, it appeared in another position.

Wang Jianyan’s attack had revealed his strong power. An alien creature stronger than the ordinary ones was hiding in the darkness and watching him intently, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.

“Wei Chaoyuan, come and take Chen Yiming away. Prioritize your defense and don’t make any rash moves,” Wang Jianyan instructed loudly.

The strength of Wei Chaoyuan, who had undergone five transformations, was second only to Wang Jianyan in the team.

“Brother Yiming, come straight over,” Wei Chaoyuan shouted in reply. Then, he suddenly used the full strength of his muscles and slashed at the alien creatures between the two of them.

In a short moment, a path of close to ten meters had opened up.

Chen Yiming didn’t hesitate and moved over to Wei Chaoyuan’s side with one leap.

Wang Jianyan wanted to focus on dealing with the alien creatures hiding in the darkness who had yet to reveal themselves. Chen Yiming, on the other hand, would only use his combat power below the level of the sixth transformation unless he was in a life or death situation.

If he stayed by Wang Jianyan’s side, he would only be a hindrance, affecting Wang Jianyan’s ability to attack with full force.

As soon as he landed, two alien creatures came up to him.

“I’ll go left, you go right. If you really can’t withstand their attacks, shout loudly for me.” Wei Chaoyuan raised his knife and blocked one of the alien creatures.

“Alright.” Chen Yiming didn’t waste any time. He used his newly learned Forward Reverse Sword Technique to fight with one of the alien creatures.

This was the first time he was facing a living creature from the otherworld, and he immediately felt excited. This was especially true since his true strength was stronger than the creatures that were his opponents.

Borrowing the illumination from the emergency searchlight on the roof of the truck behind him, he could clearly make out the hideous expression on the creature’s face. From head to toe, it exuded a murderous aura, indicating that this creature had lived for many years in a cruel environment where fighting to death was commonplace.

“&;*&;%” The alien creature let out a strange sound.

The creature held a black stick in its forelimbs as it charged at Chen Yiming, its figure momentarily changing into a black shadow under the light.

Chen Yiming used the Forward Reverse Sword Technique to counter the enemy’s charge. The alien creature was diverted away from its path by the force from Chen Yiming’s sword and crashed into the mountain behind him. A huge hole appeared in the mountain, and the creature was buried under many pieces of rubble.

“There’s something wrong with the alien creature’s skin. It seems like there’s a layer of smooth scales on its surface. The force was spread out when it hit it.” Chen Yiming quickly noticed that something was amiss.

“Brother Yiming, these alien creatures aren’t fast on land, but the scales on their bodies aren’t easy to deal with unless you use a technique with penetrative force. We don’t need to fight them head-on. We just need to hold them back,” Wei Chaoyuan’s words came from the side.

Chen Yiming took advantage of the time that the alien creature was pushing away the rubble to analyze his strategy for dealing with the enemy.

Under the premise that he did not use the Heartsword, only the Water Splitting Sword Technique and the Mantis Snake Sword Technique could increase the lethality of his attacks.

Among them, the Water Splitting Sword Technique focused its force on one line to increase the cutting power, while the Mantis Snake Sword Technique focused its force at one point for explosive power.

Without the level of strength from the sixth transformations, the cutting power of the Water Splitting Sword Technique would probably be dispersed by the scales. Only the Mantis Snake Sword Technique’s point-blank explosion would have a chance of dealing damage to the alien creature.

“Boom!”

The alien creature charged out from the rubble and ran straight at Chen Yiming again. “Beast, you’re courting death!” Chen Yiming growled. He switched to the Mantis Snake Sword Technique and stabbed his sword at the creature’s waist the moment it got close to him.

When his sword struck the scales on the creature’s skin, he immediately felt the recoil from the sword. The concentrated force on the tip of the sword was first diverted by the smooth surface of the scales before the sword pierced the skin underneath.

Both of them brushed past each other. From the corner of his eye, Chen Yiming saw that the spot he had stabbed had only broken open a little, leaving behind an almost imperceptible wound. There was no blood at all.

“With this level of defense, it isn’t afraid of any attack other than those with a penetrative force,” Chen Yiming concluded instantly. “My previous plan to master many types of sword techniques was completely correct. When facing an enemy of the same level who is good at defense, I can’t break through their defense without the necessary countermeasures.”

Seeing that even the Mantis Snake Sword Technique could not break through the creature’s defense, Chen Yiming stood his ground and was in no hurry to attack. He observed the situation of the other team members.

At this moment, the team was in chaos. The team members were fighting with the alien creatures and neither side could do anything to the other.

Although the alien creatures had thick skin, their speed was average. Since their sneak attack had failed, it was difficult for them to deal any effective damage to the people in the team. They could only assign one or two creatures to destroy the trucks.

From time to time, a driver would be found by the alien creatures, and then he would die a horrible death.

When the people in the team saw the alien creatures’ actions, they were naturally infuriated. They wanted nothing more than to get rid of them as soon as possible, but they could do nothing about their scales. Other than Wang Jianyan, the attacks of the others were unable to break through their defense.

Wang Jianyan, on the other hand, was facing off against the stronger alien creature lurking in the darkness. He didn’t dare to leave to help the others, since the team might get ambushed.

Ten minutes later,

“…%$#@*” The water monster hiding in the darkness made a sound that none of them could understand.

The alien creatures who were still fighting the team heard this and quickly retreated, paying no heed to the team members that were blocking their way.

Seeing this, Wang Jianyan instantly made a move and chased after the three alien creatures at the very back of the group. Each creature was killed by a punch from behind. After that, he had no choice but to stop. Otherwise, if he chased them too far, there was a risk that the alien creatures would turn around and launch a group attack on him.

After the alien creatures left, the team started to take stock of the damage.

Xiong Kai walked over to the steel plate covering one of the truck’s cargo boxes. The steel plate had already been deformed by the alien creatures’ attacks. He used his hand to bend the steel plate back into shape, then walked to the front of the truck to get rid of the bits of broken glass that had fallen on the window.

Fortunately, he had undergone three transformations, so his body was impenetrable by blades and bullets. The broken glass could only leave some marks on his skin.

The others were doing similar things. One of them found a spare tire from the trunk and replaced it for the truck.

Some people searched the surrounding area for the body parts of the drivers who had been torn apart by the alien creatures, and placed the corpses in a truck to transport them back.

Wei Chaoyuan’s expression was ugly as he sighed and said, “The losses this time were a little too great. The few weapons we got from the alien creatures and the few scales that were peeled from their bodies were not enough to make up for it.”

Chen Yiming remained silent. Since he could not reveal the Heart Sword and his level of six transformations, if he had mastered a sword technique with a penetrative force, things would not have ended this way.

The scales peeled off from the alien creatures were just objects. When they were intact, they would still retain 80% of their defense capabilities. However, even after special treatment, they would gradually be damaged in battle. Therefore, the price they could fetch was not very high, and the price for each set of scales would not exceed a million yuan.

As for the alien creatures’ weapons, their value was partly from the ores from the otherworld. After smelting the weapons to get the ores, if one was lucky, they could sell for a million yuan. If one was unlucky, they might not even sell for a hundred thousand yuan.

Nearly ten drivers from the team had died this time. Both sides had signed official contracts, and the death compensation alone would cost the Anteng Transportation Company nearly 10 million yuan. This was not even including the repair fees for the trucks.
