The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 428 - 427 Battle with Mantis Beast

Nian Shutong had just bitten into a large sandwich when she glanced sideways at Xia Tian.

At that moment, Xia Tian held a bottle and was spraying some kind of liquid. When the liquid came into contact with Xia Tian’s body, all the dirt and blood stains turned into foam.

Xia Tian then took a piece of paper and wiped the foam off his body. All the dirt was removed, leaving his clothes spotless and as clean as new.

Fu Yunhe had also used this thing before.

When the two of them first boarded the Super Starship, Fu Yunhe had used a similar bottle to clean up the blood stains on the floor, and Nian Shutong had greatly appreciated it at the time. freewёbnoνel-com

After Xia Tian had cleaned himself up, he turned around neatly and said to Nian Shutong, "I’m clean now; can you sell me one of those sandwiches?"

"I want your ground Insect Beasts."

Nian Shutong did not bargain but instead made her terms clear to Xia Tian with finality.

Xia Tian looked back at the Insect Beasts behind him, frowning disdainfully.

"Why do you want this? It’s worthless. I have money; I can give you that."

"No money, just exchange, no exchange no deal."

Nian Shutong had already turned around, focused solely on eating her sandwich, not in a hurry at all.

Xia Tian did not understand why anyone would want these things.

On his journey, he had encountered several groups of people who wanted the corpses of the Insect Beasts.

"Here you go!"

Xia Tian tiptoed and gently moved closer, eyeing the sandwich in Nian Shutong’s hand.

"Here you go."

Nian Shutong threw over the open bag of sandwiches to him and continued focusing on finishing her own sandwich.

On the other side, Xia Tian once again tidily prepared his meal setup and began making a sandwich for himself.

By this time, Nian Shutong had finished eating, and she walked over to the corpses of the Insect Beasts.

With each movement of her knife, she cut off the ears of each Insect Beast.

The Ear Beast, pointed ears with a spiral pattern on the left, was a symbol to claim contribution points.

Xia Tian had killed more than twenty Ear Beasts, and Nian Shutong efficiently harvested all of them.

After harvesting, Nian Shutong started packing up her things, ready to leave.

On the other side, Xia Tian hadn’t even finished his sandwich yet, and he made no move to stop Nian Shutong from leaving.

However, he had a question that needed an answer.

"I have a question, what’s the point of cutting off the ears?"

While packing up her tent, Nian Shutong replied without pausing, "To exchange for contribution points."

"Oh? So that’s it," Xia Tian said, suddenly enlightened, "That explains it. Along the way, a lot of people wanted the Insect Beasts from me."

"Every time I said no, they would keep confirming multiple times as if they were looking at a fool."

"So it’s for the contribution points."

Xia Tian kept cooking and chatting while Nian Shutong had finished packing up and left without saying goodbye.

They had merely met by chance and conducted a small transaction; there was no need for further interaction.

Xia Tian, left behind, wasn’t upset at all about the easily obtainable contribution points.

"It seems next time I should also harvest them, otherwise, I may seem out of place."

The two parted ways without further questions or insistence on companionship.

They did seem to have a similar temperament, though it would have been better if Xia Tian were less chatty.

After leaving, Nian Shutong crossed a certain boundary and ventured deeper into the territory of the Insect Race.

Every so often, powerful Insect Beasts would burst out, whether in groups or alone, and they each became souls under Nian Shutong’s knife.

This was how two days were spent on the battlefield of the Insect Race.

When Nian Shutong killed the last giant Insect Beast, resembling a mantis but with more limbs, she stopped moving.

She had won the battle.

But she was no longer as clean as before, her body covered in mud and blood.

Now, her appearance was hardly recognizable.

"She’s quite powerful."

Nian Shutong stored the giant mantis in her Space Button, a new one used solely for Insect Beasts.

"The materials for artifact refining are ready, exchange them for contribution points, and go home."

Nian Shutong stood still, his aura of sternness yet to fully dissipate, as his gaze wandered into the distance.

"Holy shit! Dodge!"

A voice, both familiar and unfamiliar, rang out from far away.

Nian Shutong only saw two black dots in the distance, one larger than the other.

The dot in the front was constantly hopping, initially heading toward Nian Shutong, now desperately trying to reverse its direction.

It was Xia Tian.

At this moment, following Xia Tian was another Mantis Beast, just like the one Nian Shutong had just killed.

"Ah... always delivering materials to me."

"Then I’ll accept them."

Nian Shutong held a top-grade crystal stone in his hand, silently absorbing it to restore his own strength.

"Run!"

"I can’t hold on much longer!"

"Run!"

Xia Tian, still in the distance, was continuously engaging with the Mantis Beast, each of his attacks leaving only a slight mark on the beast.

"Damn! I didn’t provoke you, why are you relentlessly chasing after me!"

Xia Tian genuinely didn’t know why!

He knew where his strength stood and dare not provoke such a member of the Insect Race, but merely walking ten miles away, he was chased all the way by this crazed Insect Beast.

"Damn it! If I die here, my big brother will flatten your lair!"

"I don’t believe this! Come at me!"

Xia Tian took the opportunity to pull out several grenade-like projectiles from his Space Button, each worth ten million Star Coins.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

He indiscriminately pelted the Mantis Beast with the grenades, roughly twenty in total, two hundred million Star Coins vanished in the blink of an eye.

That wasn’t all, he then pulled out the most expensive laser gun on the market, aiming for a quick kill.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Each shot from the thirty-million-dollar laser gun was fired without consideration of cost.

Such a scene was also witnessed by Nian Shutong, who remained unfazed.

Because she had no idea how expensive that stuff was.

The crystal stone in Shutong’s hand had now vanished, and she probably understood why the Mantis Beast was chasing Xia Tian, likely related to the one she had killed.

"Get out of the way!"

Nian Shutong roared as he leaped forward, his large sword chopping down directly.

"Ding———"

The sword blade collided with one of the Mantis Beast’s arms, but this time, the blade went through.

"Be careful!"

With just one strike, Xia Tian knew there was no room for him to contribute.

As he stepped back, the Mantis Beast swung its other arms, slashing towards the woman that some called "Instant Noodles".

"Get the hell away!"

"Don’t get in the way!"

Despite Nian Shutong’s shouts, Xia Tian wasn’t upset at all.

"Alright, rolling out now!"

He quickly ran out of the fight zone, standing by the side with his laser gun, ready to intervene at any moment.

But, it seemed like there was no place for him to exert his martial skills.
