228: Have some fun in the cave!

Rustle… rustle…

Shen Bei and the others moved slowly, hidden in the grass.

They bypassed the main path and cut in from the left.

What was called the main path was actually just a dirt road trampled by Otherworlders and Vicious Beasts.

According to Shen Bei’s prediction, the Otherworlders defending would mainly be watching the main path.

After all, once the Otherworlders retreated, the Human Martial Artists following them would also have to use the main path.

After crawling for about an hour.

The four successfully approached within five hundred meters of the hill.

Shen Bei gestured with his hand and whispered, “I’ll go ahead alone; you all wait for me here.”

Jian Tong asked worriedly, “Isn’t the risk too great?”

Shen Bei grinned, “No need to worry.”

Saying that, Shen Bei began to crawl forward alone.

While crawling, Shen Bei activated his Hidden Breath Technique, completely retracting his life magnetic field, like a squirming humanoid rock.

If this hill were defended by Vicious Beasts, Shen Bei could even stand up and swagger to the top of the hill without issue.

But the Otherworlders’ intelligence was no less than that of humans.

Shen Bei dared not stand up; that would just be burying his head in the sand.

After crawling for another half hour.

Shen Bei was already on the exact left side of the hill.

Only fifty meters remained from the foot of the hill.

He slowly raised his head, and now he could see even more clearly.

Some Otherworlders were walking back and forth, felling trees.

Their purpose for felling trees was simple: to clear obstacles from their line of sight.

However, these Otherworlders were not of high rank; most were Second-Rank or Third-Rank, with only a few Fourth-Rank.

Since they weren’t the main force, and more like a logistics unit, it was understandable that most Otherworlders weren’t very strong.

But if even the Alien Leader was like this, then Shen Bei felt that a frontal assault might not be a problem.

For area-of-effect damage, there was Qi Chuanyu’s Blood Blade and Jian Tong’s lightning.

For single-target damage, there were himself and Liao Zhongyang.

If they were careful and paid attention to kiting, the problem wouldn’t be too big.

Just as Shen Bei was pondering, a unique Otherworlder appeared in his line of sight.

This Otherworlder’s attire was distinctly different from the other Otherworlders.

It was more luxurious and noble.

“Leader?”

Shen Bei’s mind stirred.

The Otherworlder looked like an old cadre inspecting a village, pointing and gesturing whenever he approached an Otherworlder.

Those Otherworlders nodded and bowed, quickly getting back to work.

“It’s definitely the Leader!”

Shen Bei was absolutely certain.

At this moment, the Alien Leader saw an Otherworlder felling a tree very slowly, walked up, and kicked the barrel-thick tree directly, breaking it.

This surge of Qi directly exposed the Alien Leader’s strength!

“Damn it…”

Shen Bei’s eyes widened.

It was actually a Sixth-Rank Otherworlder!

Shen Bei could unleash his full strength to defeat a Fifth-Rank Otherworlder, but against a Sixth-Rank, he had almost no chance of winning, only passive defense.

Even if Shen Bei succeeded in a sneak attack, he couldn't win.

“If he doesn’t die, it’ll definitely be a one-day trip to the Dungeon.”

Shen Bei slowly retreated.

Although Shen Bei had no way to deal with this Otherworlder, it didn't mean he was helpless; there was still hope.

After returning to the team.

Qi Chuanyu asked anxiously, “How was it?”

“I saw the Alien Leader.”

“What rank?”

Shen Bei took a deep breath, “Sixth-Rank.”

Qi Chuanyu swore, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go home and eat!”

Saying that, Qi Chuanyu was about to leave the Dungeon.

What was the point of fighting now?

Shen Bei even needed to use medicine to fight a Fifth-Rank Otherworlder; a Sixth-Rank was absolutely unwinnable.

The best outcome now was not to be discovered by the Sixth-Rank Otherworlder and retreat safely.

As for re-entering, they could just come in with the Human army.

How Governor Yu Qi would chew through this tough bone was his problem to worry about.

But Shen Bei revealed his white teeth and said, “Why are you panicking? Don’t we have Liao Zhongyang?”

“Huh?”

Qi Chuanyu turned to look at Liao Zhongyang, who was still charging his power, “He…”

Qi Chuanyu’s mouth twitched.

Can he do it?

Liao Zhongyang also seemed a bit scared, swallowing, “You want me to fight a Sixth-Rank? I’m only a Third-Rank Martial Artist; isn’t that a bit over the top?”

Shen Bei said with a serious face, “What are you afraid of! You’ve been accumulating power for so long; don’t you have a clue what kind of damage that is?”

“I really don’t have a clue.” Liao Zhongyang’s voice sounded a bit hoarse, “I’ve never charged for this long, and I don’t know what kind of damage I can deal. Giving me such a high-difficulty task all at once, I can’t quite handle it.”

Shen Bei held his forehead, persuading, “Isn’t this just a good opportunity for you to have a clear understanding of your own strength?”

“Understanding my ass!”

Qi Chuanyu was practically jumping up and down, “It’s very easy to not come back, to die on the spot, okay?!”

Shen Bei clicked his tongue, “I didn’t say let him charge alone. I’ll charge with him. It’s okay if we can’t win; I’m still very good at running.”

Liao Zhongyang’s face was as pale as a dead man, seemingly unable to bear the pressure. After a long while, he choked out, “Then… we’ll try? But on the condition that if it doesn’t have much effect, you have to drag me back.”

Shen Bei patted his shoulder, “Brotherhood is important!”

Qi Chuanyu rolled his eyes at this.

If anyone else said that, it would truly be deep friendship.

But with Shen Bei, it was really a bit unsettling.

Then, Shen Bei spoke again, “Old Qi, don’t be idle. After we charge up, prepare your Blood Blade to clear out the small fries for me.”

“Jian Tong, provide free support. If we successfully kill the Sixth-Rank Leader, you follow up and kill. If we fail, the rear guard is still up to you.”

Jian Tong gritted her teeth and nodded.

Shen Bei had confidence in Jian Tong’s ability to cover their retreat.

After all, it was lightning, with a paralyzing effect. If enemies forced their way through the electric net, they would twitch with each shock, and fall silent with each jolt.

If enemies avoided the electric net, the time gained would be completely sufficient for escape and creating distance.

After a series of arrangements.

Shen Bei led the group to continue crawling forward.

At two hundred meters from the foot of the hill, Jian Tong stopped.

At one hundred meters, Qi Chuanyu stopped.

Shen Bei and Liao Zhongyang continued forward, stopping fifty meters from the foot of the hill.

The Alien Leader was still wandering nearby, pointing and gesturing.

“Do you see him?” Shen Bei asked.

Liao Zhongyang nodded.

“Good.”

Shen Bei took a deep breath, lowering his voice, “I will carry you in the charge. We might be attacked during this process, but ignore it. You absolutely cannot break your charging rhythm. Seize the opportunity and strike.”

“Whether we succeed or not, you are the main force.”

“Just imagine, you, a Third-Rank Martial Artist, punching a Sixth-Rank Otherworlder to death.”

“Seriously, at the celebration banquet, Governor Yu Qi will even toast you.”

Liao Zhongyang’s silent, resolute face, his raised hairs, and his eyes filled with murderous intent all indicated that he had been hyped up by Shen Bei!

“Ready?”

“Mm!”

“I’ll still say the same thing: no matter what attack you suffer, you cannot say no. A man cannot say no!”

“Charge!”

Instantly.

Shen Bei scooped up Liao Zhongyang and slung him over his shoulder.

Shen Bei had to carry Liao Zhongyang to advance quickly.

Liao Zhongyang had no speed advantage; if he were to charge alone, he might be overwhelmed by enemy attacks and killed on the spot before even reaching the Alien Leader.

Shen Bei’s legs suddenly pushed off.

A deep footprint was left on the ground, and a circle of shattered rocks on the cracked ground was propelled and sent flying by the powerful recoil, once again kicking up a cloud of dust.

Boom!

Shen Bei’s figure, bursting from the grass, was as swift as lightning!

The air, shattered in layers, rushed past Liao Zhongyang’s face; he only felt that Shen Bei’s speed was terrifying!

The wind howled in his ears, making it difficult to even open his eyes, so he could only squint.

Shen Bei’s sudden burst instantly alarmed the enemies on the hill.

The Otherworlders were all stunned.

What the hell?

What kind of combination was this?

A Human Martial Artist carrying another Human was charging over?

Were they a death-seeking duo?

Or had they been beaten senseless and run into the Dungeon?

The Otherworlders had no time to think much, and at the Leader’s shout, they all took up their stances and attacked with long-range Martial Skills.

If they were Human, then kill!

Of course, except for a few trade-oriented Humans.

Instantly, after Shen Bei’s sprint reached thirty meters.

The Otherworlders’ attacks came one after another.

Ice blades flew wildly, fireballs exploded, arrows shot forth…

And all sorts of strange attacks, overwhelming, rained down on Shen Bei and Liao Zhongyang.

Fortunately, Shen Bei was very fast, dodging most of the long-range attacks.

At the same time, more Otherworlders stood in Shen Bei’s way, brandishing their weapons, charging forward en masse.

Boom boom…

Fortunately, both were melee Martial Artists, and their Physique attributes had always been strong.

Despite the numerous Otherworlder attacks, both were very resilient.

Shen Bei, while charging, had already accumulated his Aura to its Peak. Facing the obstruction of the Otherworlders blocking his path, he directly threw a punch, the swirling airflow creating a tearing sound, as if a thousand troops were charging. Just that fierce Aura made people’s scalps tingle and hearts contract.

Relying on this momentum, Shen Bei charged forward recklessly, as if he didn't care about his life.

At this moment, an axe had somehow been embedded in Shen Bei’s shoulder.

The axe remained in his shoulder, stuck between the bones.

In his state of extreme excitement, Shen Bei didn’t even feel the pain.

Meanwhile, Liao Zhongyang was riddled with arrows, which had pierced deep into his skin, creating bleeding holes.

Even so, neither showed any signs of retreating; they were already charging forward with large strides.

“Leader! They’re coming for you! Get out of the way!”

“Damn Humans, they’re playing with their lives!”

“Hit them hard! Let those two bastards know the might of us Otherworlders!”

“Watch out! Someone’s ambushing from a distance! It’s a Blood Blade!”

…

Swish…

Just as Shen Bei was charging like a Tyrannosaurus Rex in front, Qi Chuanyu was even more ruthless.

He directly pulled out a dagger, swiped it across his neck, and severed his carotid artery.

The fresh blood gushed out like a bursting dam, painting half the sky crimson.

At the same time, due to the massive blood loss, Qi Chuanyu’s entire face instantly turned as white as snow, like a paper effigy from a coffin shop.

The seemingly weakened Qi Chuanyu staggered a few steps, nearly falling to the ground, and cursed under his breath, “Damn it! Why am I getting a bit hyped up too! Shen Bei is really good at acting, the immersion is too strong!”

Then, Qi Chuanyu made a grabbing motion in the Void Realm with one hand.

Countless blood molecules seemed to awaken, rapidly gathering in Qi Chuanyu’s hand.

A massive circular Blood Blade, shaped like a bloody moon, emanated a chilling, bloody Aura.

Qi Chuanyu roared, “Fear me, you bastards!”

Whoosh!

Qi Chuanyu suddenly threw the Blood Blade in his hand.

Martial Skill: Mother-Child Blood Blade!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Almost instantly, the Blood Blade flew past, skimming along Shen Bei’s path.

Wherever it passed, some low-rank Otherworlders were directly cut in half at the waist, decapitated, or had their bones shattered.

Higher-rank Otherworlders also suffered wounds all over their bodies from being grazed.

For a time, screams echoed incessantly, shaking the Void Realm.

At this point, some Otherworlders fought back, a Qi Cannon exploding on the Blood Blade, directly shattering it into blood clots and fragments.

Just as the enemies thought they had dealt with a problem.

The Blood Blade fragments actually slowly ascended again, reforming into Blood Blades that flew around, continuing to cut down enemies!

This was the Mother-Child Blood Blade!

Shatter the large one, and it turns into many small ones, continuing to harass and attack!

Qi Chuanyu’s assistance with this move indeed relieved some of the pressure on Shen Bei’s side.

In a short time.

Shen Bei had already carried Qi Chuanyu to within ten meters of the Alien Leader!

At this moment, the Alien Leader had a playful smile on his face, his eyes radiating deep contempt.

A Fourth-Rank and a Third-Rank Martial Artist, disregarding their lives, broke through, and actually want to deal with me?

Are they drunk?

Just then.

Shen Bei suddenly swung his arm, directly throwing Qi Chuanyu towards the Alien Leader.

The Alien Leader tilted his head, a cruel smile on his lips, and dug his ear, laughing exaggeratedly.

Throwing a Third-Rank Martial Artist at me to attack?

A preemptive offering of respect?

Come on, come on, I’ll let you hit me.

If you can even leave a fist mark, I’ll admit defeat!
