Chapter 65 The Death of Xue Ming

With Chen Hao and Chen Zhong working together, the dozen or so "blue-skinned frogmen" who were besieging Li Laoshi and his men were all killed in less than a minute.

When Chen Zhong fought, he became extremely ferocious, completely disregarding defense and focusing solely on attack.

Those blue-skinned frogmen wielding wooden sticks were strong, but when the sticks landed on Chen Zhong's iron armor, they could only leave small dents before having no further effect.

Chen Zhong's blade struck the blue-skinned frogmen, severing limbs or decapitating them—a truly terrifying sight.

As for Chen Hao, he has a completely different fighting style.

Chen Hao avoided contact with the "blue-skinned frogmen" and only shot arrows from behind Chen Zhong.

Anyone who wants to attack Chen Hao must first get past Chen Zhong.

The smarter blue-skinned frogmen who tried to attack Chen Zhong's head were killed by Chen Hao with a single arrow.

The two sides cooperated very well.

After Chen Hao and Chen Zhong killed all the Blue-skinned Frogmen, Li Laoshi and the others breathed a sigh of relief and began to pant heavily.

Although their confrontation with the Blue-skinned Frogmen was brief, it was extremely physically and mentally taxing.

"Is everyone alright?"

Chen Hao looked at everyone and asked.

He rushed over after hearing from the messenger that one of his men was injured.

Upon hearing this, those who were not injured shook their heads.

Several injured people were helped out from the back of the line.

There were three people in total: Zhao Long, Zhou Wen, and Xue Ming.

Zhao Long's arm was injured when the Blue-skinned Frogman hit him hard with a wooden stick. If it weren't for his leather armor, his arm might have been broken.

Now, it's just a bruise, and the bone isn't broken.

Even so, Liu Yun, who was standing to the side, still looked distressed.

Zhou Wen was injured in the back, but he shielded his younger brother Zhou Wu from an attack by the Blue-skinned Frogman.

Because of the protective leather armor, there was only bruising, and no bone damage.

Zhou Wu, looking remorseful, helped Zhou Wen up.

Finally, there was Xue Ming, whose condition was extremely serious. His body was unnaturally bent in various places, clearly indicating that he had fractures.

And blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, indicating that his internal organs had been injured.

She was being carried on someone's back, her breathing weak.

The reason he became like this was because he encountered the "Big Blue Frogman," who kicked him hard, sending him flying several meters away, crashing into a wall, and causing him to vomit blood on the spot.

Chen Hao approached Xue Ming and felt a pang of sadness seeing Xue Ming's eyes barely open.

He knew that Xue Ming probably couldn't do it.

Sure enough, Xue Ming, with his eyes half-open, smiled when he saw Chen Hao: "Brother Chen, I'm about to die."

"I can no longer work with you."

"Take care. If you can go back, I hope you can deliver my ashes to my parents."

After saying that, the light in Xue Ming's pupils quickly dimmed, his head lolled to the side, and he died.

"Xue Ming".

Everyone was shocked and started calling out his name.

Unfortunately, he could no longer hear.

"Waaah," Liu Yun cried out as she saw her acquaintance die.

The others were also heartbroken, silently watching the dead Xue Ming.

Those who were close to Xue Ming even had tears in their eyes.

Chen Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the soreness in his heart and the tip of his nose.

"Don't worry, if I can go back, I will definitely send your ashes to your parents."

Chen Hao solemnly made a promise to Xue Mingdi's corpse.

Just then, amidst the somber atmosphere, cries for help came from outside: "Mr. Chen, help! Another monster has emerged from the water!"

That voice belonged to Jiang Meiya.

After escaping danger, Jiang Meiya went to another room to help Shen Mo deal with the other Blue-skinned Frogmen.

She was so proactive for two reasons: first, she didn't want her partner Shen Mo to die; and second, the gains from killing the "Blue-skinned Frogman" were considerable.

With the help of others, she killed a Blue-skinned Frogman.

Four cards were revealed, two of which were blue cards.

Furthermore, one was an enhancement card and the other was an equipment card, which made her ecstatic.

If the timing weren't so bad, she would have already used the enhancement card to strengthen her body.

It was precisely because of the abundant harvest that she was so eager to kill these "blue-skinned frogmen".

Afterwards, with the help of others, she killed another [Blue-skinned Frogman].

Unfortunately, her luck wasn't so good this time, and she only got three white cards, which left her very disappointed.

Fortunately, Shen Mo was saved.

Just as the two sides met up, left the room, and came to the corridor, they saw another group of [Blue-skinned Frogmen] appear at the door on the third floor.

And leading them were two large blue-skinned frogmen.

This terrified everyone, and Jiang Meiya instinctively cried out for help to Chen Hao.

Upon hearing this, a cold killing intent flashed in Chen Hao's eyes.

"Come on, you still have energy, come with me to kill monsters."

"Everyone else can stay in here. I won't let the monsters in."

Chen Hao said firmly.

He then led the way out of the room, followed closely by Chen Zhong, who was clad in heavy armor.

Li Laoshi pounded his thigh and followed.

Kong Hao laughed loudly: "With Brother Chen here, what am I afraid of?"

They quickly caught up with him.

Li Zhan, Liu Wei, and Fang Zheng exchanged a glance and followed.

The others sighed, found a clean spot, and sat down.

Lacking both skills and enhancement cards, they were no match for the Blue-skinned Frogmen.

In the corridor, the blue-skinned frogmen, upon seeing Jiang Meiya and her group, immediately brandished their weapons and charged forward.

Just as Jiang Meiya cried out for help, Chen Hao suddenly appeared between the two sides.

They happened to encounter the two leading [Big Blue Frogmen].

The moment these two "blue-skinned frogmen" saw Chen Hao, one kicked him, and the other raised his iron fork and stabbed at him.

Chen Hao parried the iron fork with his knife, his right leg colliding with the leg of the "Big Blue Frogman".

With a "clang," the knife and fork clashed, sparks flying.

The next moment, the rusty iron fork broke.

At the same time, another "big blue-skinned frogman" who had collided with Chen Hao's legs was kicked back several steps by Chen Hao.

A frog's face was filled with astonishment.

It never expected that the creature in front of it, which was half a head shorter than it, would be stronger than it.

However, before it could recover from its surprise, a stream of blue blood splattered on its face.

Its already large frog eyes widened even more.

It turned out that just as he retreated, the "Big Blue Frogman" whose iron fork had been severed by Chen Hao was then beheaded by Chen Hao with a single stroke.

The whole process was quick and smooth.

It turned out that Chen Hao activated the sharpness effect of the [Blood-Drinking Blade] the moment the knife and fork clashed.

This directly doubles the sharpness of the Bloodthirsty Blade.

Therefore, although the [Big Blue Frogman]'s iron fork was made of high-quality materials and was very thick and sturdy, it was still cut in half by Chen Hao with a single stroke, and then he killed the opponent in the process.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a one-star elite creature—the Big Blue Frogman—and obtained five one-star cards.]

After killing the giant blue-skinned frogman, Chen Hao relentlessly charged towards the giant blue-skinned frogman he had kicked away.

Terrified, the opponent desperately used his iron fork to defend against Chen Hao's attack.

It took him quite a while to finally get it.

Then, he flicked the blue blood off his sword and looked at Chen Zhong, who was wreaking havoc among the Blue-skinned Frogmen.

Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred: a water arrow shot out and hit Chen Zhong's armor.

The immense force contained within the water arrow forced Chen Zhong to retreat repeatedly.

When he stopped backing away and looked down, he saw a hole in the thick iron armor.

Although it didn't completely penetrate the iron armor's defenses, it still caused Chen Zhong to feel chest pain.

At the same time, an extremely loud croaking frog sounded.

"Quack"

A giant blue-skinned frogman, nearly three meters tall, walked into the third-floor corridor.
