Chapter 49

In the sound of a thud, the Kabane, holding a steel knife, slowly fell and heavily crashed to the ground.

Fang Li, gripping the dagger in reverse, looked at the fallen Noshiki and couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.

"Originally, this should have been a Kabane that even the likes of Kuru would have found difficult to deal with, right?"

Yet, such a Kabane couldn't even last a single round against Fang Li.

The reason for this situation was, of course, that even though the Noshiki could skillfully use weapons and combat techniques, they still weren't as resourceful as humans, who knew not only how to use combat skills but also tactics.

However, the most important reason should still be the improvement in Fang Li's strength.

"The title of 'First Among Newcomers' has been too beneficial for me now."

The fallen Noshiki before him proved this point.

Another person who proved this was Mugen.

"Did you finish it in an instant?" Mugen muttered.

"You've really become much stronger."

Although, in Mugen's view, Fang Li, who was a complete novice in combat, had too many weaknesses, with his powerful physical abilities, combined with Fang Li's magic eyes and killing techniques, the threat was indeed much greater than before.

Of course, the Kabane would never understand the concept of threat.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH——!"

Seeing the Noshiki being killed by Fang Li, the surrounding Kabane went completely mad.

Mugen only reacted at this moment, hurriedly raising the steam gun in his hand.

But before he could do anything, a hand grabbed Mugen's wrist.

"Alright." Fang Li, holding Mugen's hand, said to him, "Let's go."

"Go?" Mugen was taken aback, exclaiming, "Not fight anymore?"

"Not fighting anymore." Fang Li pursed his lips and said, "After all, there's no reward for fighting now."

"Reward?" Mugen was suddenly confused.

Could killing Kabane actually have some kind of reward?

Not giving Mugen time to think, Fang Li spoke.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Saying that, Fang Li took Mugen and directly charged towards the weakest point of the encirclement.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH——!"

Amidst the monotonous howls, the Kabane lunged forward.

But these lunging Kabane only met with the dagger and bullets that tore through the air.

"Swish——!"

The dagger tore through flesh.

"Bang——!"

The bullet pierced the heart.

Fang Li and Mugen thus broke through the encirclement of the Kabane army, like fish diving into the sea, rushing into the pitch-black forest amidst the chaotic howls of the Kabane.

At this moment, both Fang Li and Mugen were far faster than the ordinary Kabane.

Therefore, a large group of Kabane could only watch as Fang Li and Mugen disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind a roar of frustration that echoed through the sky.

The night gradually deepened.

...

In the pitch-black forest, two figures darted through the trees at an extremely fast speed, looking like fleeting ghosts, which was quite terrifying.

The one leading the charge was Fang Li.

As if he wasn't at all worried that Mugen would lose him, Fang Li sprinted at his fastest speed, nimbly weaving through the trees, not at all like the homebody who had to catch his breath just from climbing stairs a few days ago.

Mugen quietly followed behind Fang Li, her eyes gradually changing as she looked at Fang Li's back.

Because, Mugen realized that she was actually gradually falling behind Fang Li.

This only proved one thing.

"Speed surpassing mine?"

Mugen almost couldn't believe it.

After all, Mugen was in the state of having removed the collar from her neck, and the speed she was exerting was her true full speed.

Yet, even so, Mugen was still gradually falling behind Fang Li.

"What's going on here?"

What kind of change could have made Fang Li suddenly so strong?

Clearly, just half an hour ago, Fang Li wasn't this strong.

Could it be that Fang Li had also become a Kabane-ri?

No, absolutely not.

If Fang Li had become a Kabane-ri, the highly sensitive Mugen to the aura of Kabane would have definitely noticed.

In other words, Fang Li had really become so strong with a human body.

Seeing Fang Li's speed getting faster and faster while she was gradually falling behind, Mugen immediately felt a surge of不服气 (unwilling to lose).

"I won't lose to an ordinary human!"

Saying that, Mugen's figure suddenly sped up, using all her speed to desperately catch up with Fang Li.

In such a situation, the figures of Fang Li and Mugen became increasingly blurred, almost crossing a forest in the blink of an eye, entering another area.

Maintaining this speed, the two of them crossed a large expanse of forest.

Only when they reached an open field did they stop one after another.

Mugen lifted her eyes, looking at Fang Li, her eyes full of questions.

Seeing this, Fang Li smiled slightly, pointing to a cave ahead, and said, "Let's rest there for a bit."

"Rest?" Mugen fixed her gaze on Fang Li's face and said, "Aren't you going back to the Iron Fortress?"

"I no longer have a reason to stay on the Iron Fortress, and I will leave sooner or later." Fang Li answered without hesitation, but then sighed and said, "Although I say that, I also seem to have lost the reason to continue wandering outside."

Fang Li's time to remain in this world was only two days left.

And the reason to continue staying on the Iron Fortress was already gone.

So, originally, Fang Li wanted to use these two days to earn some exchange points, and then return fully loaded after two days.

Unfortunately, the space's kill reward was suddenly canceled, making Fang Li's plans completely fall through.

Now, even Fang Li didn't know what his next step should be.

Thus, Fang Li shook his head, turned to look at Mugen, and asked, "What about you? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

"I..." Mugen opened her mouth but couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Yes.

Why did she appear here?

To find this guy?

It seemed so.

But she didn't have a reason to find this guy.

Then, why did she suddenly rush out without any hesitation and come here?

Mugen couldn't help but feel a bit lost, and said in a low voice, "I... I don't know..."

"Don't know?" Fang Li raised an eyebrow.

Then, Fang Li said this.

"Is it that you don't know, or that you haven't realized it at all?"
