51: Could it be... that it's already marinated?

The overwhelming battle didn't last long. With a loud boom, a large crater appeared in the ground.

The strange bird's body lay in the crater, dead or alive unknown.

Thousand Cuts Fu walked over slowly, leaning on his cane.

"Just in time for the base to improve its menu. I thank nature for this gift."

The strange bird: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Fang Bai and the others approached out of curiosity.

That Sixth-Rank Demon Beasts, which could have killed them in seconds, was just dead like that?

Thousand Cuts Fu looked at Fang Bai and the others, then said: "I saw the direction you came from. Was that explosion related to you?"

They shook their heads in unison.

"How could it be, Senior? We don't have that kind of strength. We were just there to scavenge."

"Right, right. It's possible some criminals brought explosives into the Alien Space to cause trouble. We suggest you investigate."

"Exactly! As upstanding citizens like us, how could we do something like that?"

The last sentence was said by Fang Bai. He looked righteous and firm, as if he were about to join the Party.

Thousand Cuts Fu said slowly: "Alright, you should leave here quickly. This explosion will definitely attract many powerful demon beasts; it's not something you can handle."

Fang Bai and the others nodded.

They clearly realized what danger meant.

Of course, they dared not stay any longer.

Fang Bai and the others left together, heading towards the base.

Back at the spot, Thousand Cuts Fu collected the strange bird's corpse.

The corpse of a Sixth-Rank Demon Beasts was not to be underestimated in value.

Thousand Cuts Fu suddenly looked around, walked in one direction, and muttered: "That's strange. I clearly remember it falling over here!"

On the other side, Fang Bai and the others returned to the base.

Seeing so many Demon Slaying Army members, they finally felt a strong sense of security.

"Finally made it back alive!" Zhang Zifeng sighed. He thought they were done for today.

"Huh? Come to think of it, where is Yu Bing?"

Once this was said, the group fell silent.

It seemed they had forgotten a classmate.

Li Xue, Martial Academy looked at Fang Bai. The latter said with a blank face: "I haven't seen him, but he should... not be dead, right?"

The corners of their mouths twitched.

As far as the tomb is concerned, the deceased should still be alive.

"Yo! Are you guys from the Martial Academy?"

A Three-Star Demon Slaying General walked over and said: "Not long ago, our patrolling soldiers brought back a person. He said he was from the Martial Academy."

Hearing this, Li Xue, Martial Academy quickly asked: "Is his name Yu Bing?"

The Demon Slaying Army member had a strange expression: "No, he said his name was Fang Bai."

Fang Bai: "???"

"What?"

The Demon Slaying General continued: "Oh, right. He's in quite a sorry state. Covered in wounds, multiple fractures, and his body... uh, also has a lot of excrement. It seems he was swallowed by a demon beast and then... pooped out."

"Pfft!"

Fang Bai and the others couldn't hold it in.

What the hell, "pooped out by a demon beast"! That kid Yu Bing was clearly acting as a "jet fighter"! He probably didn't have the face to say his own name, so he reported Fang Bai's name.

Fang Bai showed a sinister smile: "Classmate Yu is really humorous. Infringing on name rights is illegal, you know..."

That bastard dared to ruin his reputation. He must have eaten too many red beans and wanted to die!

Li Xue, Martial Academy and the others also had strange expressions.

But it was good news that Yu Bing was still alive.

"Um, Buddy, that guy is our classmate. His name is Yu Bing. He wasn't swallowed by a demon beast; he accidentally ate something and had diarrhea. Um, maybe he ate a bit too much, a large quantity, you understand." Fang Bai said to him earnestly.

Hearing this, the Demon Slaying Army member's expression stiffened: "You mean to say he's covered in shit because he sprayed it himself?"

Fang Bai nodded seriously.

The Demon Slaying Army member's expression became spectacular. It was like "absurdity's mother opening the door for her son"—it was absurd to the extreme!

Fang Bai leaned in close to him and said sneakily: "By the way, let me tell you a secret. Our classmate, um, I heard his sexual orientation is a bit different, and he's an M... um, you know, his back door must be loose, which is why he pooped so much..."

Yu Bing: "???"

Is that even human?

The Demon Slaying Army member was so scared he retreated a few steps, looking disgusted: "Holy crap! Stop talking!"

Li Xue, Martial Academy and the others were also speechless.

You really are dark-hearted!

Fang Bai showed a satisfied smile.

Damn it! Daring to ruin This Young Master's reputation?

Soon, the group arrived at a tent.

Just as they approached, they smelled a faint stench.

The group stopped in their tracks.

Fang Bai said hesitantly: "I think it's fine for him to heal here. When his injuries are better, just let him go back on his own."

Zhang Zifeng echoed: "I think that's very right!"

Li Xue, Martial Academy also showed hesitation and said: "This... is that okay?"

Fang Bai rolled his eyes: "I don't have a good relationship with him, so I won't go in." He stepped back to the side.

Zhang Zifeng quickly said: "I don't like that kid either!" He shrank in front of Fang Bai, looking honest and simple.

Li Xue, Martial Academy was speechless. You guys are really...

Helpless, she had to go in alone.

The smell outside was faint, but once she entered the tent, it became pungent.

Li Xue, Martial Academy felt nauseous and subconsciously covered her nose.

"Sister Li Xue, Martial Academy! You guys are finally here!"

Yu Bing was already awake. He was wrapped in gauze, and even his head was wrapped several times.

Li Xue, Martial Academy's gaze was a bit strange. He had clearly changed his clothes, so why did he still smell so bad?

Could it be... has he been marinated?

Disgust immediately appeared in her eyes.

"Um... are you okay?"

Yu Bing said pitifully: "I'm not okay. I almost didn't make it back!"

Li Xue, Martial Academy suppressed her nausea and said: "What happened?"

Yu Bing said embarrassedly: "I encountered a group of demon beasts at the time, but by some luck, I survived. Later, I was found by people from the Demon Slaying Army, and I followed them back."

After speaking, his expression was a bit aggrieved.

Only he knew what he had experienced.

Damn it! Ever since he separated from Fang Bai, he had been acting as a "jet fighter"! If it weren't for his will to survive making him perform beyond his limits, he would have been torn to pieces by demon beasts!

Later, when he was running away, he found a lake and jumped in.

Unexpectedly, on the other side of the lake, there were a few demon beasts having diarrhea!

After that, the lake water became murky...

He didn't dare to act rashly and could only stay in the lake, marinating for a whole day and night.

This painful experience made him want to die!

Li Xue, Martial Academy looked at him sympathetically: "You should rest well. The mission is already completed. We plan to go back tomorrow. Why don't you... just heal here?"

Yu Bing struggled to sit up and said: "Sister Li Xue, Martial Academy, I'm physically fine. I'll go back with you guys."

Whether it was an illusion or not, Li Xue, Martial Academy felt that his breath carried a faint scent of shit.

The next second, she stood up immediately, her face turning pale: "You... don't come so close!"

After saying that, she quickly ran out of the tent.

Under the gaze of Fang Bai and Zhang Zifeng, Li Xue, Martial Academy bent over and started retching!

Damn, it really stinks!

Fang Bai and the others immediately looked sympathetic.

Senior Sister Li Xue, Martial Academy is truly beautiful and kind-hearted!
