241: Chapter 241 The Survival Rules of the Squid Man

"Y-You... how dare you!"

"You actually dared to kill our Commander Sluman!"

The Squid People lackeys backed away in terror, their hands holding the guns trembling uncontrollably.

Looking at their captain's head on the ground, his eyes still wide open in death, fear instantly swept through their entire bodies.

There wasn't a single ripple of emotion on Xia Li's breathtakingly beautiful face.

With a gentle flick of her wrist, she shook the blood droplets off her silver Chain Blade onto the ground.

"Lu Yuan, don't interfere, leave them to me."

Without waiting for a response from Lu Yuan inside the cockpit,

Xia Li's figure transformed into a streak of silver lightning.

The Chain Blade tore through the night wind.

The Squid People players at the scene only saw a flash of white light, followed by a sudden chill on their necks.

Then, their vision began to spin wildly.

Thud! Thud!

Heads rolled onto the ground one after another.

Within a few breaths, the armed squad that had been so arrogant and overbearing just moments ago was slaughtered, leaving only one lackey slumped weakly on the ground.

This lackey literally pissed his pants in terror on the spot.

A foul stench began to spread.

Slumped on the ground, he kicked frantically with his hands and feet, retreating in a pathetic scramble while staring in horror at the approaching female god of death.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Madmen! You bunch of Dragon Kingdom madmen!"

"You are starting an all-out war against us, the noble Celestial Dragons!"

"Aren't you afraid of the endless, frenzied retaliation from our Celestial Dragon Sector?!"

Xia Li stopped in her tracks.

The Chain Blade gleamed with a cold, sharp light in the night.

"Oh? Retaliation?"

"Bring it on."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head to look at the massive Red Wolf Tank.

Her tone changed instantly.

That sweet, cutesy voice instantly switched on.

"Lu Yuan, you'll protect me, right~?!"

"No matter how much trouble I cause, you can settle it, right?~"

That delicate, soft, and sweet demeanor made it seem as if the cold-blooded killer from just moments ago wasn't her at all.

Inside the cockpit.

Lu Yuan covered his forehead in exasperation.

This woman is brutally off!

Why does she seem so pent-up?

You're in the middle of killing people! Can you not suddenly start flirting!

Have some respect for your opponents!

I think you're clearly using these unlucky bastards as tools to vent your anger.

Lu Yuan cleared his throat and calmly spat out three words.

"Kill at will."

Having received her instructions,

a stunning curve formed at the corner of Xia Li's lips.

With a flick of her wrist,

the Chain Blade sliced through the air.

A line of blood instantly sliced across the throat of the last Squid People lackey, killing him on the spot.

At the same time.

World Center, Block 777 Command Headquarters.

This was a massive fortress filled with a sense of high technology.

On the large screen of the command center, a real-time video battle report from the front line was playing.

When they saw the footage of the last soldier being casually throat-slit by Xia Li,

the air in the entire command headquarters seemed to drop to freezing point.

Rata Hu's face was ash-pale, a raging fire burning in the depths of his eyes.

"Arrogant!"

The Minister of National Defense slammed his fist heavily onto the conference table, absolutely furious.

"Unforgivable!"

"These newly arrived Dragon Kingdom people actually dare to slaughter our noble Celestial Dragon Tribe!"

"Mere yellow dogs from Sector C, how dare they lay a hand on us Celestial Dragons?!"

Another high-ranking official roared through gritted teeth, his face flushed red with anger.

"Lord Rata, lock onto their coordinates immediately!"

"I want to use heavy artillery to blow that red piece of junk metal into scrap!"

"And then flay that woman's skin off alive!"

Listening to the roars of the high officials around him,

Rata Hu stared coldly at the imposing Red Wolf Tank on the screen.

"Pass down my order."

"Deploy the Merkava main battle tank formation to immediately surround and suppress the target."

Adjutant Levi, standing to the side, took a step forward and asked respectfully,

"Your Excellency, how about we send five hundred tanks to deal with those Dragon Kingdom monkeys?"

"According to the intelligence sent back from various sectors, their Dragon Kingdom seems to have only one main battle tank!"

Rata Hu's eyes grew fierce, and he spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"No, two thousand!"

"All forces, attack!"

Hearing this massive number,

Adjutant Levi's pupils shrank sharply, his face filled with shock.

"T-Two thousand?!"

"Your Excellency, to deal with a single tank, deploying two thousand main battle tanks, isn't that a bit too..."

Rata Hu whipped his head around, staring dead at Levi.

His eyes held a chilling paranoia and madness.

"Do you think I'm deploying two thousand main battle tanks just to deal with a mere piece of junk metal?"

"Levi! You must remember our tribe's law of survival!"

"Either we don't act, or once we do, we must completely beat the opponent into submission!"

"For this, even if we must wage a war of extermination, we will not hesitate!"

Rata Hu sneered, killing intent boiling in his eyes.

"This is not just an encirclement, but an indiscriminate grand sweep!"

"I want this armored force to use Block 777 as the center and conduct a flat-push style purge outward!"

"Any Dragon Kingdom faction appearing in the surrounding areas, whether solo players or large guilds, will be crushed on the spot!"

"Since they dared to kill our Celestial Dragons, I will make them pay a bloody price!"

...

Returning to the ruined battlefield.

Where the Red Wolf Tank was located.

As the night wind blew, a heavy stench of blood spread through the air.

The Great Elder of the Elf Tribe stood frozen in place.

Shielding the children behind him, he stared at Xia Li with a face full of vigilance.

Although they had just escaped death,

at this moment, the killing intent they sensed from Xia Li was more than a hundred times stronger than that of those hatted Squid People!

It was as if standing before them was not a human, but a breathtakingly beautiful ancient god of death.

The elven elder's hands trembled as he held a rusty dagger before his chest, as if facing a formidable foe.

On the other side, Xia Li didn't even spare them a second glance.

She sheathed her blood-stained Chain Blade and walked toward the Red Wolf Tank without looking back.

"Alright, put away your useless piece of metal."

Xia Li kept her back to the elves, her tone lazy and indifferent.

"Hurry up and leave, I have no interest in you."

"Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago..."

Hearing this,

a burst of suppressed murmuring broke out among the Elf Tribe.

"Great Elder, is she... is she really not going to kill us?"

"This human, she's actually letting us go?!"

"But where can we escape to? There are Squid People soldiers everywhere outside!"

"That's right, even if she doesn't kill us, there's no way we can escape Block 777 on just our two legs!"

Endless despair once again shrouded these poor elves.

Just as Xia Li leaped up and was about to jump onto the tank's hatch,

the elderly Great Elder of the Elf Tribe took a deep breath.

He clenched his fists tightly.

His eyes flickered wildly, as if he had made a difficult decision in his heart.

"Human! Wait!"

The Great Elder took a sudden step forward, his voice hoarse yet filled with determination.

"Help us!"

Thud!

The Great Elder's knees slammed heavily onto the hard ruins as he roared at the top of his lungs.

"I beg of you, human!"

"As long as you help us rescue our clansmen imprisoned by the Squid People!"

"I am willing, on behalf of our entire tribe, to offer the supreme treasure of our Elf Tribe!"
