I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 153 - Metamorphosis


After about an hour, Squad 18 arrived at the front line. “Old Li, this area is yours now.”Lu Hao, the captain of Squad 9, patted Li Canghai’s arm with a tired expression and instructed,“Recently, the Dark Elves’ offensive has become increasingly fierce, and another group of mercenaries has been converted into Evil God believers. The pressure on the front line is immense. If the situation truly becomes irreversible, I think we should retreat early. There’s no need to lose our lives here just for resources.”“Alright, Old Lu, I understand.”Li Canghai nodded seriously.In the conflict between the Elf Race and the Dark Elves, the Elves initially held the upper hand. But ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) why couldn’t the Dark Elves be eliminated? Instead, they grew stronger and continuously encroached upon Elf territory.The reason is simple: the Dark Elves can capture Elves, humans, giant beasts, Druids, and many other beings, converting them into their own people through evil power, while the Elves do not possess such an ability.The Elf Race dwindled with each battle, while the Dark Elves grew in number, which is the fundamental reason why the Elves shifted from offense to defense and continued to lose territory.To solve this problem, the only way is to find the Dark Elves’ main battle nest, achieve success in one fell swoop, and destroy the Evil God Altar.However, the Dark Elves are extremely cautious in this regard. If one is not an Evil God believer and does not control evil energy, they will be discovered and besieged upon entering the Dark Forest.Locating a Dark Nest is almost an impossible task.Now, human mercenaries have also realized this. They no longer fantasize about helping the Elves quell their internal strife. Most of them are thinking of doing a few jobs, accumulating enough resources, and then leaving.This also leads to high mercenary turnover, and the problem of manpower shortages is becoming increasingly severe.“Qin Tian, Alan, you two are responsible for this area.”Li Canghai assigned tasks to Qin Tian and Alan.Squad 18 will be divided into three defensive lines. The strongest groups will guard the front, intercepting the fiercest first wave of attacks.The second line of defense will supplement the first, killing as many enemies as possible. The final line of defense will hold the rear, ensuring that no Dark Creature crosses the front line.In Li Canghai’s opinion, Qin Tian and Alan’s strength was relatively weaker. They were not qualified to be at the front or in the rear, so he assigned them to the second line of defense, where they could protect themselves while trying to get as many kills as possible.“Yes, Uncle Li, we guarantee to complete the mission.”Alan gave a very non-standard salute, his face beaming with excited smiles.This silly boy. Li Canghai shook his head helplessly, hoping that after this round of battle, he would still hear him call him Uncle Li.Li Canghai left, leaving Qin Tian and Alan.“Qin Tian, all the enemies will be mine later.”Alan gripped his longsword, his eyes gleaming. “I will kill all these Dark Creatures and avenge my family and friends.”Qin Tian took Hidden Kill out of the black box, glanced at him, and asked,“Your family and friends were killed by the Dark Elves, so that’s why you came here?”Alan pursed his lips and nodded,“Yes!”Qin Tian loaded the bullets, looked straight ahead, and said nothing.Roar!!!From the front, a wild beast roar came.Qin Tian and Alan’s eyes narrowed. They knew the enemy was coming.Boom!Roar!The sound of energy explosions and beast roars continued, the ground trembled, and Alan gripped his longsword, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.Meow!!!Just then, a black shadow appeared before him.It was a black cat with the size of a tiger, its eyes flickering with eerie light, exuding an evil and dark aura. Upon seeing Alan, its fur bristled, and with a push of its hind legs, it pounced on Alan like a black lightning bolt.Alan shifted his feet, his movement surprisingly agile. He dodged the Black Cat’s pounce with a sidestep, and his longsword, glowing with a faint green light, cut a nearly one-meter-long gash on the Black Cat’s side.Pfft!Foul-smelling blood gushed out, splashing onto Alan, staining half of his body red.This sudden change caught Alan off guard. Looking at the thick, warm blood on him, he felt his soul tremble, and an uncontrollable sense of nausea surged in his heart.Meow!!Seeing Alan motionless, the Black Cat turned and swiped a claw, evil energy surging, tearing towards Alan’s face.Just as the claw was about to hit its target, the Black Cat’s head exploded with a bang, red and white matter splattering, some of it landing on Alan’s face.Alan could no longer hold it in. He retched, bending over and throwing up uncontrollably.Qin Tian jumped down from a tree branch, watching Alan vomit his guts out. He raised his gun and blasted the head of another Black Beast, then slowly said with a frown,“If this is all you’re capable of, don’t even think about avenging your family and friends. Go home to your mom early.”As his voice fell, Alan’s body visibly stiffened. He straightened up, his face still alternating between pale and green, and looked up at Qin Tian.When his eyes met those scrutinizing and indifferent ones, Alan felt a deep sting. This sting was not from anger or dissatisfaction towards Qin Tian, but from disappointment in himself.In front of a true warrior, his performance just now could only be described as unbearable.“Sorry, I won’t be like this again!”Although Alan’s face was still very pale, his eyes revealed a hint of determination, as if in just a few minutes, he had grown a lot.Qin Tian’s brows relaxed. He tossed Alan a black cloth and calmly said, “Wipe your face. More powerful enemies are coming soon.”Alan took the black cloth and quickly wiped away the bloodstains on his face, simultaneously wiping away his sensitive and fragile nerves.!!!!Five Black Wolves emerged from the forest, their shoulders over two meters high, their muscular, knotty bodies covered in flowing ink-black fur. With every step, tar-like viscous liquid seeped out, burning smoking scorch marks on the damp earth.Their crimson vertical pupils were like burning coals, and the overflowing dark evil energy condensed into fine blades in the air. Wherever they passed, vines withered and fallen leaves corroded.“The leftmost one is yours. I’ll handle the other four.”Qin Tian said in a low voice, “This time, I won’t save you again. Everything will depend on yourself.”Seeing Alan reminded him of himself when he first arrived in this world. At that time, he was equally naive, and he would also feel sick and uncomfortable when killing Shadow Cats. But at that time, the Earth Dragon Squad had been silently helping him, allowing him to quickly transform into an excellent warrior.He would provide Alan with some help, but the battlefield was not a game. If Alan could not break through that psychological barrier,He would not watch Alan die, but he also would not let Alan continue to stay on the battlefield.Alan took a deep breath, gripped his longsword, his eyes incredibly firm:“Okay! I will kill it.”“Definitely!”
