Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 223 - 221: Su Mo’s Strong Survival Instinct

Chapter 223: Chapter 221: Su Mo’s Strong Survival Instinct

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, and the group of veteran soldiers waiting in place for Su Mo’s return still hadn’t seen him. Even Elder Xia was starting to worry.

"It’s been so long since Su War God has come back, could he have encountered some danger? Should we go and help?"

"Help, what kind of help can you offer? Su War God is a Godslayer, your interference would just be counterproductive!"

"Then why hasn’t Su War God returned for so long?"

"Could it be that Su War God got lost?"

"Now that you mention it, it’s quite possible. After all, it’s Su War God’s first time on the Alien Race Battlefield, he might not even be able to tell which direction is which."

"What should we do then, should we go out and look for him?"

"That’s not a great idea. What if we leave and Su War God returns only to find us gone?"

"Leave a group here to wait!"

"No way, it’s too dangerous to be on the Alien Race Battlefield with just a few people alone..."

Just as the old veterans were still debating whether to go out and search for Su Mo, they happened to encounter another group coming over from the eastern battlefield for support.

Then, following Tu Hongwu’s orders, they headed together to the Human Race’s main camp.

...

In the depths of the Alien Race Battlefield, a campfire glowed brightly. Su Mo held a skewer in his hand, constantly flipping something unknown over the fire. The White Dragon Horse imitated him by gripping a skewer with its mouth and placing it over the fire.

However, Su Mo’s focus was not really on the roasted meat in his hand; instead, his eyes were blankly staring at the void in front of him, letting out a series of silly laughs from his mouth.

He looked no different than the village idiot.

Seeing this, the White Dragon Horse tried to mimic its owner and let out a neigh, but as soon as it opened its mouth, the skewer fell out.

Quickly lowering its head, it picked up the skewer again and continued roasting it over the fire, lifting a forehoof to examine it, puzzled over how its master was managing to hold the skewer with that thing in front.

The earlier battle wasn’t really that intense, more like a warm-up, with the White Dragon Horse alongside.

After all, they were only some King-level foot soldiers. The Yi Race might look weird and even have huge bodies, but their fighting abilities were just so-so.

Of course, that’s just Su Mo talking. For any other human, facing even a single wave of Aliens would be extremely difficult, and that’s with the enhancement of Tu Hongwu’s war weapons.

Without any enhancements, in a one-on-one of the same level, humans would surely die facing aliens.

Only geniuses might survive, and true geniuses might even counterattack.

But among hundreds of billions, how many geniuses can there really be!

At this time, looking at the attribute panel showing a whopping 790,000 assignable free attribute points, Su Mo couldn’t stop grinning foolishly.

All he needed was to find another group of aliens to kill, and he could max out one of his attributes again.

Though there were still as many as 110,000 left, this number was once an unimaginable astronomical figure.

Now on the Alien Race Battlefield, nothing is scarce except assignable free attributes.

The experience bar that was almost drained dry by the White Dragon Horse had once again terrifyingly reached 12,000%.

The White Dragon Horse, being a divine-level mount, doesn’t need to participate in upgrade dungeons like Su Mo; otherwise, he would similarly be stuck at level 20.

At least until Su Mo becomes a god, the White Dragon Horse will not face any bottlenecks. As long as Su Mo levels up, he can keep leveling up.

Currently, Su Mo is mainly torn between two options: when there are enough assignable free attribute points, which attribute should he upgrade first?

Speed has always been his shortcoming unless he uses the Flying in the Sky skill, and now it’s even faster since the upgraded skill can traverse space.

This makes control even more difficult.

Previously, using the Flying in the Sky skill, all he needed to do was aim his weapon at his opponent and charge straight ahead.

But now, space elements must be considered, which is a huge hassle.

Moreover, once the speed attribute is increased, the White Dragon Horse’s speed attribute will also increase accordingly, making it naturally faster.

Not to mention, just the recent gallop on the White Dragon Horse, slashing through aliens was really satisfying.

Truly achieving the feat of one man guarding a pass against ten thousand enemies, and the key word is stylish!

Being strong is fleeting, being stylish is everlasting.

However, if speed is increased, it doesn’t significantly contribute to combat power.

The main point is that Su Mo is not at his strongest right now.

Before entering the Alien Race Battlefield, he had just used Ultimate Body and even used the Extreme Speed skill.

If he wants to fully recover, he’ll need at least 9 more days.

If encountering a divine-level being during these 9 days, even Su Mo would find it troublesome.

It’s not about not having the Ultimate Body skill to slay gods, it’s about not being able to kill instantly.

With these thoughts, he looked down, closely examining the alien meat roasting in his hands, took a bite, and immediately spat it out, throwing it to the ground. "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, this tastes terrible!"

The White Dragon Horse widened its jet-black eyes and, following Su Mo’s action, spat out its skewer, then spat itself.

Seeing this scene, Su Mo helplessly said: "There’s no need for you to imitate this."

Just as his words fell, a rumbling sound emanated from the distance. He was about to say more to the White Dragon Horse but immediately brightened up at the prospect.

The commotion might mean someone is there, and that might lead him to his main camp, maybe even get directions to find his previous group.

If he could return before his mentor discovered his absence, he might not even get scolded.

[Tu Hongwu rolled his dead-fish eyes expressionlessly at the screen showing Su Mo: "Do you think I wouldn’t scold you?"]

Even if they aren’t humans, they are still a bunch of assignable free attribute points!

They could be wiped out for his upgradeable free attribute points, isn’t that enough!

Su Mo’s survival instincts persist in a Schrodinger’s state.

Say he lacks survival instincts, yet he’s worried about getting scolded after returning.

Claim he has survival instincts, yet he’s thinking about going out to slaughter aliens...

Having made his decision, Su Mo unhesitatingly mounted the horse, pointing in the direction of the disturbance. Instantly, the White Dragon Horse dashed forward.

Though Su Mo hadn’t reached the scene yet, the distant view made him frown, as he only spotted a single alien.

Upon closer approach, he realized there were indeed not just one alien, as several human bodies lay not far from it.
