263: Chapter 263 As long as Hu Che's level is high enough, there is not much difference between him and his superpower.

Standing outside the Barrier, Hu Che suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed.

He once regarded Yan Qing as his most trusted King, his most trusted brother.

He treated Fen Tian as a friend, and later, he felt they had become brothers as well.

Yet, these two people—one had sent him to his death, and the other had given him a push.

In fact, up until the moment Fen Tian pushed him, Hu Che still felt that perhaps they were just joking with him.

Although, Yan Qing was not the type of Beastman to joke around...

"Heh!"

Hu Che suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

Not far away, Fen Tian heard this sound, and his heart suddenly tightened.

He wondered if he had been too harsh on the Stinky Fox.

He had just taken a step forward when his arm was grabbed by Lang Lie.

Fen Tian looked at the expressionless Lang Lie.

Fen Tian thought: This little Cub really knows how to endure!

Hu Che looked at the monsters before him, who were eyeing him covetously but dared not attack because of the powerful Beastmen behind him.

He fell into self-doubt...

Could it be because they were all too powerful and felt he was no longer worthy of the Mistress?

So, they wanted to use this method to get rid of him...

No! Something was wrong...

Hu Che shook his head.

They weren't that kind of people!

Yan Qing had once entrusted the entire Beast Kingdom to him.

Fen Tian dared to let him take care of Xiao Yi alone.

They both trusted him implicitly; there must be some mistake somewhere.

Besides, there was also the Mistress... How could the Mistress let him come here to die?

She loved him!

That's right!

This must be a joke!

But he was too weak—

Just as Hu Che thought this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he realized the truth.

He suddenly realized that for the past few days, he had been shrouded in a massive sense of inferiority, unable to think clearly— "Why would they do this?"

He didn't even have the courage to ask for their thoughts.

This wasn't his usual personality.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Heng Zhou.

He recalled a few days ago, when the four of them were talking... lowering their voices.

Then, Heng Zhou seemed to glance at him.

After that glance, he became convinced that he was "not in the same world" as them.

So—

[Did you deliberately amplify the inferiority in my heart?]

Heng Zhou's eyes widened slightly as he heard Hu Che ask him this in his mind.

Hu Che also got the answer from his expression.

He turned around, faced them, and suddenly laughed heartily with joy.

While laughing, he retreated toward the direction of the monsters.

The monsters observed his movements.

Finally, he was about to walk into their attack range.

"Stinky Fox, what are you doing!"

"Hu Che!"

Fen Tian and Lang Lie were terrified and rushed over immediately.

The monster closest to Hu Che raised its sickle-like sharp claws and slashed toward his head...

Fen Tian grabbed Hu Che's shoulder a step earlier and yanked him backward.

Lang Lie caught Hu Che with both hands, took two steps back, and the two of them stood steady.

When Hu Che stabilized his footing and looked back toward Fen Tian's direction, the monsters that had just attacked him had all disappeared.

Only scorched marks remained on the ground.

Hu Che raised his smiling face triumphantly, as if saying, "I knew you would save me."

He drawled out, saying to Fen Tian: "Tha-nk- you- Big- Broth-er— Ouch!"

Fen Tian grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and dragged him into the Barrier.

"Stinky Bird! It hurts! Let go!"

"Are you crazy?" Fen Tian roared.

Hu Che rubbed his neck, blinked with a grin, "What do I have to fear? I have such an amazing Big Brother—" He pointed to Fen Tian.

"Such an amazing brother—" He pointed to Lang Lie.

"And..." He looked at Heng Zhou, opened his mouth, seeming not to know what to call him.

Fen Tian said exasperatedly: "You can call him Big Brother too!"

Hu Che pursed his lips and didn't call out.

Fen Tian glared at him, thinking about how the Stinky Fox had helped him take care of A-Wu and Xiao Yi when they were in Dragon Valley.

When A-Wu was giving birth, it was also him who risked his life to stop A-Wu from doing something foolish.

He himself was sucked in by A-Wu's out-of-control Supernatural Ability, forcing him to shift into his Beast Form.

It was because of this incident that he became a Mid-level Beastman.

Fen Tian was not good with words and couldn't say these things, but he had always kept them in his heart.

Therefore, when he learned that Hu Che's brother had been killed by the monsters in Dongdong Valley, he decided to help him take revenge.

For him, this wasn't a difficult task to begin with.

But Yan Qing said, "Since you want to help him take revenge, it's better to let him watch it with his own eyes so he can resolve his inner conflict."

That was why they let the Stinky Fox come with them to clear out the monsters.

Everything had been arranged perfectly—it was all Heng Zhou's fault!

Fen Tian glared at Heng Zhou.

Heng Zhou glanced back at him indifferently.

Recalling shortly before, little A-Wu had asked him to probe Hu Che's thoughts because she was worried about his state.

When she learned that Hu Che felt inferior due to his insufficient abilities, she sought them out to discuss a strategy.

"Is there any way to help him raise his level? It would be best if he could kill a monster himself..." little A-Wu pleaded.

Fen Tian: "That's simple! I can just give him a little Energy, and I can help him level up a few times."

"But exactly how much he can level up depends on his Beast Form," Heng Zhou added.

"Look at his Beast Form?" she asked curiously.

"Yes, the more powerful a Beastman's Beast Form is, the higher his level cap generally is," Heng Zhou explained to her patiently.

She thought for a moment and said excitedly: "He once reached level two; level two should be no problem.

If he could reach level two, Hu Che would definitely be very happy!

If we could give him a surprise, that would be even better!"

Seeing little A-Wu so happy, Heng Zhou wanted to make her even happier.

This Beast Husband of hers had extremely low ability and, other than being good-looking, was useless.

In his eyes, he was just a little toy that could make little A-Wu happy.

Heng Zhou wasn't worried at all that he would affect his own status in little A-Wu's heart.

So he volunteered: "That's simple? Leave it to me!"

He amplified Hu Che's feelings of inferiority, intending to give him a "surprise" through comparison.

As it turned out, the surprise almost turned into a scare.

Heng Zhou looked calm, but in reality, he had been quite frightened just now.

If he had gotten little A-Wu's pretty "little toy" killed, she would have cried her eyes out.

However, what he didn't expect was—this "little toy" could actually bring him such a shock.

Heng Zhou suddenly smiled at Hu Che, "You are very smart and also very talented."

Hu Che also looked at Heng Zhou, the smile on his face gradually fading.

His eyes shimmered, appearing very excited.

Suddenly, with a "thump," Hu Che knelt down before Heng Zhou.

"Please, Master, teach me!"

Heng Zhou: !

Lang Lie: ?

Fen Tian: !!!????

Lang Lie and Fen Tian naturally didn't know that during the few exchanges of glances between Heng Zhou and Hu Che, the two had already talked about a lot...

As Beastmen who both possessed mental-type Supernatural Abilities, communicating via consciousness was a very simple matter.

As long as one of them transmitted their thoughts, the two could naturally communicate.

Hu Che learned of their plan.

Heng Zhou asked him, what is your Supernatural Ability?

He had to ensure that after he received the Energy, he would have the ability to fight the monsters.

Hu Che told him that his Supernatural Ability was Mind Control, which was a very rare mental Supernatural Ability among ordinary Beastmen.

But it was also a type of Supernatural Ability that was severely restricted.

First, the controlled subject must be lower in level than him to guarantee one hundred percent effectiveness.

Second, it is ineffective against Beastmen with healing abilities.

Furthermore, when his body is damaged or his Energy is too low, it will affect the effectiveness of the Supernatural Ability.

It might even result in the loss of the Supernatural Ability.

Just like him right now, and his Big Brother in the past.

In short, he felt it was a very "useless" Supernatural Ability.

However, when Heng Zhou seriously understood the function of Mind Control, he was shocked to discover—as long as Hu Che's level was high enough, in principle, there was little difference between him and his Supernatural Ability.
