182: I May Not Be Human

While Ge Chang was scraping with the crossbow, the other side was also fighting fiercely.

If it was just one Boss William without a machine gun, Huangfu Dong wouldn't pay him any mind. However, there were quite a few Boss Williams on the other side; some could use magic, some could use blades, and there was also a poison-wielding Old Six and an invisible Old Six lurking, ready to act.

Seeing how effective the item sets they had bought at great expense were, a feeling of 'this money was well spent' surged within them.

Originally, they had planned to use these summoning sets to deal with Cheng Zhen's summoned creatures, but taking down Huangfu Dong now was also good, as it would greatly increase their faction's win rate.

However, the two of them had planned to secure victory steadily, but they were stunned by a sudden message from their Big Brother.

What did 'about to be stripped naked' mean?

Did he mean it literally?

Also, weren't we here to fight? Big Brother, what kind of fight gets your clothes stripped off?

The two were puzzled, even greatly shocked.

But Big Brother's words were out, and these two couldn't just ignore it as if it were nothing. They had to change their thinking and consider how to quickly go support Big Brother.

However, if they wanted to leave, Huangfu Dong couldn't just let them go.

You were the one who wanted to fight, and you came at me immediately.

Now you say you don't want to fight and want me to let you go?

Huangfu Dong would be a ghost if he agreed.

Seeing that the opponents suddenly had thoughts of retreating, he unhesitatingly implemented the principle of 'enemy retreats, I advance,' intensifying his offensive and applying ample pressure.

Earlier, Huangfu Dong and Cheng Zhen had planned to use skills to split up the trio to weaken the enemy's strength. Even if they didn't care about skills and still insisted on acting as a trio, the three of them would always be under the snowman's surveillance, making it easier to sandwich them from multiple sides.

Looking at the reaction of those two now, it was likely that Ge Chang had fallen into a disadvantage in his confrontation with Cheng Zhen, which was why they were so anxious.

If that's the case, then he absolutely couldn't let them leave!

"Although I agreed with Cheng Zhen to leave them for him, he's already taken care of the person on his end. If I let you all escape completely unharmed, wouldn't I lose a lot of face?"

Huangfu Dong inexplicably recalled what Cheng Zhen had told him before they parted:

"You absolutely must leave them alive for me! Of course, severely injured counts as alive, and breathing counts as alive!"

Huangfu Dong found it a bit hard to comment at the time, vaguely feeling that this person was a bit off.

Now that these two were about to run, Huangfu Dong couldn't worry about so much and prepared to apply pressure.

The longsword in his hand emitted a faint golden light, which then converged into a golden Great Buddha phantom.

[Weapon: Immovable Wisdom King · Tornado Sword]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: Increases Strength by 80%, increases Agility by 65%, increases Sword Skill Damage by 120%, gains active skill: Immovable Wisdom King's Descent of Evil-Subduing Form]

[Immovable Wisdom King's Descent of Evil-Subduing Form: After activating the skill, summons an avatar of the Immovable Wisdom King to attack in coordination with the main body. During the summoning, mental and physical energy will be continuously consumed; ranged attacks consume more energy with increasing distance.]

[Remarks: 6]

Previously, because the water gun's taunt value was too high, it was difficult for Huangfu Dong to focus on dealing with Ge Er. This time, he vented all his previous anger, and the brilliant sword light almost filled the entire room.

Ge Er had already witnessed the terrifying power of this attack before and dared not be careless. But the sword light was too fast for them to dodge, so they could only pull out defensive items to block the attack.

He pulled out a translucent light shield, identical to Ge Chang's, and covered his head with it, shielding himself and the nearest murlocs.

As Huangfu Dong's longsword struck, the golden phantom of the Immovable Wisdom King also swung its sword down, and a vast power pressed down from above, unleashing a dazzling golden glow.

Ge Er had not expected Huangfu Dong's attack this time to be even more terrifying than before; the shield item developed cracks in just a few breaths.

Startled, Ge Er immediately grabbed a murloc scout and put him in front, using him as a murloc shield.

'Crack—'

A shattering sound rang out, the light shield's color dimmed, and then it shattered and dissipated.

The shield blocked some of the damage, but the remaining sword force still smashed down, slicing the murloc scout, who was acting as a shield, into sashimi, scaring the nearby murlocs into making gurgling cries.

"Hoo..."

Huangfu Dong, who had unleashed a heavy blow, sheathed his sword, breathing slightly as he recovered his breath.

He looked at the heavily-armed Ge Er and the live fish, and snorted, "Good items, but how many more do you have?"

"Of course we still have some, but how many more times can you use your last move?" Ge Er retorted unceremoniously.

Both sides continued to be at daggers drawn.

However, Ge Er's mouth was tough, but his legs were soft.

He and Ge San knew very well that if Huangfu Dong's attack came a few more times, both of them would likely be in trouble.

The two exchanged glances and understood one thing:

Without Big Brother, the two of them really couldn't win.

Therefore, they had to find Big Brother no matter what!

After making up their minds, they immediately ordered their summoned creatures to intercept with all their might, and had the [Tidecallers] behind them start frantically conjuring magic orbs.

Huangfu Dong, entangled by the murlocs, did not use the same attack again but instead pulled out a seemingly unremarkable knife.

Although Huangfu Dong had just completed the novice trial, he had a guild behind him and several high-rated clearances, so he didn't have fewer items than these two professional killers.

The knife he had just pulled out looked ordinary, but it was actually a murloc bane—

[Weapon: Daranfa Ten-Year Fish-Slaying Knife]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: Increases Strength by 10%, increases Stamina by 15. Gains passive skill: Heart Like a Fish Knife]

[Heart Like a Fish Knife: When attacking fish-type creatures, gains 100% defense penetration effect. When attacking a weak point, damage is doubled.]

[Remarks: I've been gutting fish at Daranfa for ten years; my heart is colder than the knife.]

Some weapons might only seem rare-grade, but in reality, for fish, they are more legendary than legendary.

When the fish-slaying knife appeared in Huangfu Dong's hand, several murlocs inevitably felt a chill.

They seemed to feel the vengeful spirits of countless compatriots on that knife, and scenes of fish being gutted and losing their lives flashed before their eyes...

"What are you standing around for? Attack!"

Ge Er urged them to attack, seemingly not understanding why his summoned creatures had truly turned into fish that only twitched on a cutting board.

"Charge! Kill him!"

The few fish seemed to be suddenly awakened by their master, and the flame of revenge for their compatriots ignited in their chests. They roared and charged forward.

For our fallen compatriots, kill him!

Their dead eyes blazed with fury as they bravely swung their weapons.

The heroic souls of our compatriots are with us, and our master is our backing!

The murlocs charged forward valiantly, and then realized something was wrong.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

The numbers seemed off.

Excluding the one that turned into sashimi, why did it seem like one person was missing?

Confusion emerged in their dull fish eyes.

Then they saw their master turn and walk in the opposite direction from them, as if having made some kind of decision.

Ge Er: Can't beat him, time to run.

Fortunately, I still have summoned creatures to block him for me! You go, give him hell!

Murloc: "..."

I might not be human, but you're a real dog!
