Human Genius? Sorry, I’m a Deviant Chapter 124

At the same moment.

Three low-threat seventh-stage aberration creatures turned their heads almost simultaneously, locking onto the intruders.

The first resembled a giant lizard, its body covered in bluish-gray bony armor, with sharp bone spikes growing from the tip of its tail.

The second looked like an inflated human-shaped balloon, its skin semi-transparent with corrosive liquid churning inside.

The third was completely covered in grayish-brown bark-like keratin, with a split bloody maw filled with spiral-shaped sharp teeth.

Its arms were abnormally long, hanging down to its knees, with half-meter-long black bone claws extending from its fingertips.

"Attack!"

Su Zhan shouted sharply.

Liu Ziming had already been poised to strike, his right hand bursting with lightning: "Purple Thunder!"

It struck directly on the bone lizard aberration, electricity crackling and sparking across its bony armor with explosive pops.

Xu Hao's figure suddenly vanished, appearing the next second behind another bone-blade creature.

Twin daggers crossed, and the head covered in bone spikes fell with a clean cut.

His figure flickered again, narrowly avoiding the splashing corrosive blood as he returned to the team formation.

In the dim corner.

An iron cage held over a dozen humans in tattered clothing.

They crouched in excrement and bloodstains, their eyes hollow, skin covered in bruises and festering wounds.

Long-term inhuman torture had drained them of the strength to struggle, sitting numbly like walking corpses.

Until—

Su Zhan's group appeared at the tunnel entrance, combat energy illuminating the darkness.

A gaunt middle-aged man threw himself against the cage bars, his cracked lips trembling: "Save... save us..."

"Awakened ones! They're awakened ones!"

A young woman with a dirt-streaked face screamed, shaking the iron bars wildly: "I'm here! Please—"

In the corner, an old man missing one leg wept bitterly, using all his strength to pound against the cage: "Kill these beasts! Kill them!!!"

Hope spread among the prisoners like wildfire.

The previously deathly silent cage instantly erupted in chaos.

"Heh heh."

The bone lizard aberration chuckled softly, its bony tail suddenly piercing through the iron cage and stabbing into the chest of the old man who had been shouting the loudest.

Blood dripped along the bone spike.

The old man's expression froze in a twisted mix of ecstasy and agony.

"Why so excited?"

The bone lizard aberration slowly withdrew its bone spike, licking the blood: "Did you really think... they could save you?"

The cage fell deathly silent.

Su Zhan remained silent.

The opponent was making an example to warn the others.

However, he hadn't planned to comfort these survivors' emotions anyway.

After all, doing so served no purpose.

Because their victory or defeat had nothing to do with these survivors' support.

Even if you said all the right things, if you couldn't win against the enemy, you'd still die.

"How did you find this place?"

The bone lizard aberration asked. For a low-threat seventh-stage aberration with tremendous defense and recovery capabilities, Liu Ziming's Purple Thunder clearly hadn't caused much damage.

Su Zhan said calmly: "Thermal imaging."

The obese aberration revealed sharp, pale white teeth: "The academy's equipment is really good these days, but... don't you know it's very rude to interrupt someone's meal?"

The long-armed aberration grinned viciously: "Then there's no helping it."

Almost at the same instant.

The entire underground space suddenly erupted!

"Destruction Scythe!"

Xie Xi shouted clearly, a massive black scythe nearly two meters long materialized out of thin air.

Dark red destructive energy coiled around the scythe blade.

As she spun, the giant scythe carved a terrifying arc, directly cutting three charging low-stage aberrations in half!

Feng Jue's Startling Swan Sword left its sheath, the blade as clear as autumn water.

The Startling Swan Sword's figure became a blur, wherever the sword light passed, the aberrations' limbs fell severed.

A mantis-shaped aberration had just raised its blade arms when its head already flew into the air.

"Slow!"

Su Zhan's Abyssal Gaze glowed with golden light.

The bone lizard aberration that was about to pounce suddenly slowed its movements.

"Good opportunity!"

Liu Ziming seized the moment, lightning flashing violently in both palms: "Purple Thunder!"

Two thick purple thunder snakes roared out.

They slammed violently into the bone lizard, exploding fragments of bone armor everywhere.

Xu Hao's figure flickered throughout the battlefield.

Each appearance accompanied by the cold gleam of daggers.

A compound-eyed aberration had just sensed danger when its throat was already slit.

But in terms of numbers, they were at a clear disadvantage.

The obese aberration swelled to three meters tall, its head hitting the basement ceiling.

Its skin became completely transparent, the churning acid inside clearly visible.

It opened its huge mouth, corrosive liquid pouring down like a waterfall!

"Careful!"

Xie Xi's giant scythe swept horizontally, a dark red barrier blocking above everyone's heads.

Acid made corrosive sounds as it contacted the barrier.

The long-armed aberration seized the opportunity to ambush, bone claws tearing through the air, targeting Xie Xi.

Feng Jue's Startling Swan Sword blocked just in time, sparks flying with the clash of metal.

"Decelerate!"

Su Zhan's pupils contracted.

The ambushing aberration's movements instantly stalled.

Xie Xi seized the opportunity, her giant scythe descending with destructive force.

"Thud!"

The long-armed aberration's right arm was severed at the root, black blood gushing out.

But it actually grinned viciously, flesh buds squirming at the severed limb.

New bone claws regenerated at visible speed!

Su Zhan immediately understood that this long-armed aberration's evolution direction focused specifically on these arms, hence they could rapidly regenerate even when severed.

The next second.

The bone lizard aberration also broke free from the deceleration restraint, bone spikes from its tail shooting out like rain covering everyone.

Xu Hao urgently teleported to block, daggers whirling into a light screen, but one bone spike still grazed his cheek, leaving a blood trail.

The battle reached a stalemate.

"Tactical adjustment!"

Su Zhan's voice cut clearly through the chaotic battle: "Xie Xi, Feng Jue, Liu Ziming, focus fire with me to pin down these three seventh-stages! Xu Hao—"

He sidestepped to avoid the bone lizard's tail spike: "Priority on clearing the minions."

"Understood!"

Xu Hao's figure instantly vanished, appearing the next moment above the iron cage.

Two low-stage aberrations suddenly froze.

Blood lines simultaneously appeared on their necks as their heads rolled off.

Xu Hao had already flashed to another side, his dagger piercing through the eye socket of a third aberration.

Xie Xi's giant scythe collided head-on with the acid flood spat by the obese aberration, the dark red blade light splitting the corrosive liquid in two.

The scythe's momentum continued unabated.

Tearing a vicious wound on the opponent's distended belly, yellow-green liquid spraying out.

"Startling Swan!"

Feng Jue's sword energy slashed out repeatedly.

Forcing the long-armed aberration to constantly retreat.

Liu Ziming crossed his hands, Purple Thunder gathering into a dazzling ball of light in his palms.

Multiple lightning bolts interwove into an electric cage.

Temporarily trapping the bone lizard that wanted to pursue Xu Hao.

The survivors in the iron cage covered their mouths tightly.

Watching Xu Hao move through the aberration group like a ghost.

Seeing the minions were mostly cleared, Su Zhan slowly drew the twin blades from his back.

The Abyssal Gaze suddenly brightened, the dial's pointer spinning rapidly!

"Now! Full team acceleration!"

Su Zhan shouted loudly, applying the acceleration buff to his teammates.

Not forgetting to apply the deceleration buff to the opponents.

Using his Life Soul ability on so many people made his head spin slightly.

But he maintained it with full effort.

Because victory or defeat would be decided at this moment.
