Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1143: Chapter 1053: Raising a Younger Brother in the Future 30

Whoosh!

The faint sound of energy bullets piercing through the air rang out. The first to attack was Shuangshuang. When firing the energy gun, it has a silencer setting, making hardly any noise.

Shuangshuang’s aiming skills were strong. The first shot blew up the eye of a Golden Beetle Beast, successfully taking down the creature.

Shuangshuang’s successful strike instantly calmed Fan Meijie’s tense heart. Although these Golden Beetle Beasts looked frightening, they were not invincible. She tightened her grip on the energy gun, trying hard to calm down and aim before shooting.

Fan Meijie didn’t aim at the Golden Beetle Beast’s eyes. She didn’t plan to blow up its eyes like Shuangshuang did, knowing she couldn’t manage that.

Fan Meijie targeted the movement paths of the Golden Beetle Beasts. Each of her shots aimed to slow down their movements, buying Shuangshuang some time.

The two coordinated seamlessly; Shuangshuang entrusted Fan Meijie with her back, focusing on dodging and moving under the Golden Beetle Beast’s attacks, shooting out eyes one after another.

The Golden Beetle Beasts fell one by one. For a moment, it seemed like Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie were slaughtering the Golden Beetle Beasts in a one-sided battle. But in fact, they were fighting on thin ice. Shuangshuang only attacked after determining the best timing and angle in her mind for each shot.

By the time Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie had killed all the Golden Beetle Beasts together, the couple leading another group of Golden Beetle Beasts had already disappeared somewhere.

Sitting side by side on the ground, neither Shuangshuang nor Fan Meijie felt very fatigued; they were just tense. Shuangshuang, however, felt mentally exhausted. Accurately killing the Golden Beetle Beasts wasn’t an easy task.

These Golden Beetle Beasts moved quickly, with eyes hidden, making it hard to shoot them. Success required anticipating their actions in advance and calculating the angle to blow up their eyes.

So this battle, though short, was immensely intense. When the fighting stopped, Shuangshuang felt weakened, not physically but mentally.

But there was still the couple leading the Golden Beetle Beasts everywhere. They couldn’t leave them unattended, or else they might eventually become bug droppings.

After a short rest and packing up the Golden Beetle Beasts, Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie stood up to rescue the earlier couple.

The couple was pretty capable of running. If not for the obvious traces left by the massive Golden Beetle Beasts, they really couldn’t catch up.

When Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie caught up, the couple was frantically climbing up a cliff, while the Golden Beetle Beasts were also climbing, reluctant to lose their prey.

However, the Golden Beetle Beasts were too heavy. Even if they managed to cling to the rock wall, their ascent was extremely slow, unable to catch the couple who climbed the cliff like lizards.

Perhaps sensing Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie’s presence, the Golden Beetle Beasts stopped chasing the couple and instead surrounded Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie.

This time they had experience, and Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie cooperated seamlessly, quickly clearing out the Golden Beetle Beasts.

After cleaning up the battlefield and storing the Golden Beetle Beast corpses in their space equipment, the couple still clung to the cliff, almost out of sight.

This cliff was extremely steep, its top disappearing into the clouds, a landmark high peak outside the safe zone. That couple was nearly out of sight now.

Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie exchanged glances, feeling a bit helpless. The couple seemed a bit dazed, not considering the consequences of their actions.

At this distance, even shouting wouldn’t reach them, and startling them into a fall would be even more troublesome.

Helplessly, Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie sat down cross-legged, resting their sore muscles from the battle and waiting for the couple to stop climbing when they realized something was wrong.

Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie waited a full hour before the couple, now out of sight, climbed back down.

Seeing Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie refreshing and rested below, the dusty couple immediately showed a somewhat sheepish expression.

The two introduced themselves, the male named Song Qizheng and the female named Lan Yuqi, both seventeen years old and still school-aged.

Because upon turning eighteen, one’s potential for awakening a superpower becomes certain, and the greater the martial artist’s talent, the higher the likelihood of awakening a superpower.

Song Qizheng and Lan Yuqi planned to prepare before turning eighteen, exploring outside the safe zone to hone themselves, hoping to increase their chances of superpower awakening.

As fate would have it, shortly after leaving the safe zone, they stumbled upon a nest of Golden Beetle Beasts, getting targeted by them, and nearly turned into bug droppings.

But despite being a bit dazed, they weren’t reckless enough to go alone outside the safe zone, together gathering a dozen friends and renting a villa-like high-level mobile safe fortress before venturing out.

Talking about the villa-like mobile safe fortress, Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie suddenly felt the couple looked familiar. Have they seen them somewhere before?

After pondering for a while, Fan Meijie suddenly realized and told Shuangshuang, ”Aren’t they the group who rented a villa-like safe fortress when we went to rent a safe fortress?”

With Fan Meijie’s words, Shuangshuang remembered; it was indeed that group, and she recalled their numbers were quite substantial.

”Did the rest of your group get separated by the Golden Beetle Beasts chasing you?” Fan Meijie asked curiously.

Upon hearing Fan Meijie’s question, Song Qizheng and Lan Yuqi immediately displayed a distressed look, simultaneously showing fear and worry.

Lan Yuqi tightly closed her mouth, trembling involuntarily, leaning into Song Qizheng’s arms, clearly unwilling to recall previous experiences.

Song Qizheng embraced his still frightened partner, wiped his face with his hand, also showing fear, narrating the strange encounter he and his teammates had before.

”Before we encountered the Golden Beetle Beasts, we had already been separated from our teammates. It’s actually funny; we don’t even know how we got separated.

At the time, we were chasing a group of mutant beasts in the woods, engaging in practice fights when, out of nowhere, several companions went missing.

Silently, we don’t know what took them away; even though we were many, we felt nothing.

Feeling scared, we gathered to look for the missing people, but couldn’t find them, only losing a few more.

With more people missing, we grew more fearful, leading to quicker disappearances.”
