Chapter 41

"Four-Eyes, don't take it to heart, and don't doubt. I, the fatty, swear by my physique that I will sincerely and genuinely not snatch your Demon Tail Bee next time." Li Wenfu took an oath as if it were a casual matter, and as he spoke, he threw two stones in his hands, which flew in a bizarre arc and accurately hit the waist of a Demon Tail Bee.

With a front and rear attack, it was severed in one strike.

Lusheng looked at the swarm of Demon Tail Bugs flying in the air and also shifted his target.

He was very tired at this moment.

But compared to Ye Binghua, he was already twenty-six short. As a cannon defense officer responsible for area control, he couldn't tolerate this. On another side, Yinxing wielded two insect limbs like 'large knives' and had already killed a path of insect beast corpses; the number was impossible to catch up with. The fatty nearby had also smashed quite a few Hunter Knife Bugs and even exploded a War Spear Great Armor.

If he didn't work harder, he would fall behind.

Du Ge?

He couldn't compare! Even Li Yinzhu, who moved like a spirit swallow, was covered in insect fluid, while Du Ge had killed so many and hadn't even been touched... Who could compare to such a monster? Moreover, everyone was so exhausted from running that they didn't have the strength to wipe their sweat, but Du Ge looked completely fine, not even panting. Who would dare to compare with such a freak?

Running and killing continuously.

Everyone felt a fire burning inside them, the more it burned, the more excited they became, with a feeling that they couldn't stop at all.

In the past, if they wanted to bully the weak like this, they could only do it in the 'infinite resurrection' magic network, and even then, it was against mechanized humans and orcs. To harvest insect species, it had to be the lowest difficulty map. They always felt an invisible fear when facing insect beasts, afraid that they would bite or cut off their limbs. Even in a mech, they didn't dare to get close.

At that time, they even feared the dead insect beasts, afraid they would suddenly come back to life and attack.

At that time, seeing veterans sitting on the corpses of giant insect beasts and taking photos for keepsake seemed very dangerous.

And now...

"Damn, it's a Great Armor Tyrant!" Yinxing saw a familiar figure, and her eyes blazed with battle intent.

"Kill it." The fatty shouted loudly.

"What with, we have nothing in our hands." Lusheng also had the will to fight, but unfortunately, he had no weapons.

This wasn't a magic network training session where death meant nothing. Even getting injured would be hard to treat. The Great Armor Tyrant had a despicable 'self-destruct' trait, often resorting to it when it couldn't escape. Without weapons, it would be hard to kill it in a short time.

"Du Ge, request tactical guidance." The fatty, unwilling to be a mere bystander, shouted loudly.

Du Nan frowned.

He thought for a moment.

"Fatso, didn't you just kill a War Spear Great Armor? Go back and find it, break off those two 'spears' and use them against this thing." Du Nan remembered that the War Spear Great Armor had two ultra-long horns and had an idea.

"Understood." The fatty, full of energy, ran off.

He had no choice.

Yinxing's eyes had already warned him: Get those 'spears' in one minute, or I'll break your little spear.

Half a minute later.

The loyal little brother ran back and threw the long spear to Yinxing: "Sister Ling, catch the weapon, let's kill it."

*********

Time passed.

Fifteen days later, in a tavern.

"Fat brother, what happened to you? Why are you all covered in scars? Mom said it's very dangerous to go outside the fort without a mech. Fat brother, did you spend all your money on pretty clothes for Baor and have no money left for a mech? Fat brother, Baor doesn't want pretty clothes, Baor just wants to be full. Fat brother, save the money to buy a mech, okay?" Baor looked pitiful, her crystal-like eyes shining, and she looked like she was about to take off her pretty clothes.

Li Wenfu picked up the white, tender little treasure and kissed her several times: "Baor is so good, Fat brother isn't short of money."

Hearing Baor's innocent words,

Everyone laughed.

At this moment, the demeanor of the Silver Leaf team members had undergone a transformative change.

They were more steady, more resolute, more profound, and sharper... They were like a half-drawn world-class weapon, ready to deliver a fatal instant kill at the slightest movement from others. If half a month ago they were a group of strong children, now they were a group of warriors that no one dared to look at directly.

Although their bodies were clean, there was still a faint insect smell.

This situation.

Only those who had lain in a pile of insect beast corpses and soaked in insect fluid would produce such a strange smell, which wouldn't fade for two or three months. According to the experience of old mercenaries, just by sniffing, they could 'see' a figure standing on a pile of insect beast corpses.

"Fat brother, does it hurt?" Baor believed that Fat brother wouldn't lie; if he said he had money, he had money.

Seeing the scars on his body, she asked softly.

"It doesn't hurt, Fat brother likes these 'medals.'" The fatty was very proud, lifting his arm in a 'I am a strongman' pose. At this moment, his body was covered with crisscrossing scars. Apart from a few small marks on his fat face, there was no empty space on his entire body. The longest scar ran from his left shoulder to his right waist, as if it could split him in two.

Lusheng's face was very clean, with no scars.

But his body... it was like a white hemp cloth randomly scribbled on, with no empty space, even new scars on top of old ones. It was as if ten tigers had given him a full-body massage for ten hours, and it was even more terrifying.

Ye Binghua, Yinxing, and Li Yinzhu were girls.

They didn't open their shirts to cool off, so it was hard to see any scars. However, their forearms were covered with countless scars, wounds, and dents.

Especially Ye Binghua.

Her hands looked as if they had been gnawed by an old dog for half an hour, and it was hard to imagine such a terrifying effect.

In the technological era,

With advanced genetic technology, they didn't immediately 'repair' themselves because it was unnecessary. Tomorrow, the day after, they would face even more difficult and unimaginable battles, and these scars would keep appearing. Repairing them would be a waste of time. Du Nan had already said, "If you can reduce these scars in battle, then think about repairing them. Otherwise, they will only increase."

"Fat brother, do you go out every day to find something? Don't you need to rest?" Baor was a bit afraid to look at the three beautiful sisters; their hands were too scary. She remembered that a few days ago, when they held her, their little hands were even prettier than her mother's.

"We are looking for the treasure your father deciphered." The fatty kissed Baor again and said, "Good Baor, be a good girl and listen. Fat brother is here to see you off today, to take you to Fat brother's home as a guest, okay? When Fat brother gets stronger and can find Baor's father's treasure, Fat brother will come back to play with you, okay?"

"Okay." The little treasure was very obedient; she remembered her father saying that adults had things to do, and children shouldn't cry and cause trouble.

"Baor is so good." The fatty kissed her several times.

He turned around.

Nodded to Baor's mother. At this moment, he had already arranged for the mother and child to fly to Blue Sea Star. The family had already been informed. As one of the eighty-eight noble families, arranging for two people was just a matter of a word. Moreover, it was the family's young master who personally took care of it.

Baor's mother had tears in her eyes but didn't dare to cry, only nodding in gratitude.

After sending off Baor and her mother,

Another two months passed. By this time, Li Wenfu and Lusheng had also fused with two-star seeds and advanced to the Bronze level.

Iron Armor Fort.

The atmosphere was changing.

People noticed a strange phenomenon: whenever the Silver Leaf team returned, the mercenaries of Iron Armor Fort would generally disappear. Civilians with less than first-level body techniques couldn't sense the changes in the Silver Leaf team. They vaguely felt that these weren't a group of people but a group of prehistoric dragons.

Wherever they stepped, people and animals scattered, and insect beasts avoided them.

Some mercenaries who didn't believe in evil only needed to glance at the six members of Silver Leaf and immediately retreated to the corners of their rooms.

Those who remembered them

Recalled: the fatty had grown taller, stronger, and had more scars. He gave the impression of a giant war vehicle, each step he took seemed to crush insect beasts into pieces. As he walked, even though there was nothing, one could see in their hearts a terrifying trail of blood and flesh behind him.

The four-eyed boy... his glasses were still there, but the lenses were gone, leaving only the frames.

He gave a very strange impression.

He seemed like a learned scholar, with proper conduct. But when he looked up, and you met his eyes, you would feel: this is a blade mantis or a silver-armored flying snake... Once he moved, you were dead, unable to defend, counter, or escape. Passing by him, you felt a cold chill, as if he had a hundred ways to kill you with a single gesture.

The other three girls felt even more bizarre.

The long-legged girl's legs seemed even longer, taking up a large part of her height. She gave the illusion that she could reach you in one step, no matter if you were ten meters away or a hundred meters away. More terrifyingly... she walked without a sound. Even the most experienced old mercenaries, straining their ears, couldn't hear a single step.

Her long legs moved like a shadow, silent and invisible.

The girl in red... she was 'on fire,' her entire body 'lit up,' making it impossible to see her face or figure. Even in a thin shirt and shorts, no one could see anything; the air around her was distorted. She seemed like a giant fireball, an erupting volcano, scorching anyone who looked at her.

The pain in the eyes was similar to staring at the sun.

Beside her,

The shy little girl was still shy, always looking down and consciously staying away from men. For this shy girl, the mercenaries had no special feelings. They only remembered: two days ago, when she passed by, some of the mercenaries' tamed beasts suddenly became restless and barked. Then she looked up... No one remembered her eyes, but when they realized, they found their backs drenched in cold sweat.

All the tamed beasts nearby broke their chains and ran away.

A few that ran into dead ends and couldn't go far directly crashed into the wall and died.

The people present tried to recall what kind of eyes they saw at that moment... but no one could remember. Now they often woke up from nightmares, not knowing what kind of nightmare they had. Only the cold sweat and trembling bodies indicated that they had indeed experienced something indelible and terrifying.

Among these six,

The most reassuring was the ordinary-looking young man. He was like a neighbor's young man, without the brute strength of a bull, the wisdom of a mature person, or the arrogance of a young man... He was like a little rabbit in the animal kingdom, harmless to anyone.

In the hearts of the old mercenaries, they were even more afraid.

What they saw were a group of 'prehistoric tyrannosaurs' walking slowly, with a harmless little rabbit in the middle...

In contrast,

Their worldly wisdom and experience made them even more terrified of this 'unreasonable existence' of a little rabbit. If this young man were among ordinary people, he would be nothing special, just an ordinary person. But being among this group of 'prehistoric beasts' was the most inexplicable thing.

This 'unknown' danger was even more terrifying.
