278: Chapter 278 It's alright! I'll talk to them about feelings!

The Giant Centipedes were exceptionally excited; the opportunity they had been waiting for had finally arrived.

The combat strength of the mouse and Parrot just now was indeed unexpected.

But so what?

Facing over a hundred Hippopotamuses, An Ke's group was doomed; it was an unavoidable outcome.

After all, as long as it's a living creature, it will get tired.

Facing creatures like Hippopotamuses, a single mistake would result in a heavy blow.

Up ahead.

The Hippopotamuses stared menacingly at An Ke and the others.

They pressed closer step by step, some roaring incessantly while others opened their massive mouths to intimidate An Ke.

In the outside world, the expressions of the Dragon Country Masses changed slightly.

"These Hippopotamuses have gone crazy!"

"I can feel the pressure even through the screen."

"If there's a mistake, they'll be bitten into sieves by these big guys."

"Ac... actually, it's okay, right? Don't they have Old Crocodile, the Giant Python, Tiger Mom... and the others?"

"What use are they against Hippopotamuses? Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom can't even find a place to bite."

"Exactly! Besides, even if they can hold back one Hippopotamus, so what?"

"The other Hippopotamuses will still attack."

"Once their heads are bitten..."

"I really didn't expect the greatest pressure so far to come from herbivores..."

"..."

With over a hundred Hippopotamuses, each eight meters long and weighing over ten tons, the pressure was incomparable to any previous creature.

Even if An Ke's group still had twenty savages, so what?

Once the fighting started, even the savages wouldn't be able to budge these 'Gas Cans'.

The unprecedented pressure made the Dragon Country audience tense up once again.

"Why hasn't Boss An left yet?"

"Is he planning to face them head-on?"

"That might not be a good idea, right?"

"..."

Inside the broadcast.

Old Crocodile and Aman felt the extreme pressure as the Hippopotamus herd closed in.

Every inch the Hippopotamuses moved closer toyed with their nerves.

Old Crocodile recalled the helplessness of being chased 'two streets' by a Hippopotamus once again.

"Bo... Boss..." Aman's voice was a bit dry.

"What should we do now?"

Perched on his head, An Ke marveled, "As expected of the overlords who 'never leave a crocodile sitting,' the pressure is truly intense."

Despite his words, his expression remained calm and composed.

Because [Natural Affinity] was estimated to upgrade in 2 minutes!

Now, he just needed to stall for time.

"Stay where you are and don't move. I'll try to talk to them about my feelings."

"Huh?" Old Crocodile was a bit dazed.

"Young friend, are you serious?"

"Will these grumpy brothers talk about feelings, Boss?"

"Haha! We'll know if we try, won't we?"

An Ke chuckled, then jumped from Aman's head onto the corpse of the Hippopotamus in front of them.

The body was still standing.

"Boss?!"

"Young friend?!"

Old Crocodile and Aman were startled and instinctively prepared to move forward.

But they were stopped by An Ke raising his hand.

"Stay there quietly."

If Old Crocodile and Aman stepped forward, war would likely break out instantly.

In the eyes of the Hippopotamuses, he was relatively weak and wouldn't cause too much of a reaction.

After speaking, An Ke looked down at the large hole in the Hippopotamus's body.

Three Hairs' attack had shredded the flesh; even the hard skull had been crushed.

The power was immense!

Amidst the red flesh, Three Hairs lay motionless.

An Ke frowned slightly, then leaned down and pulled Three Hairs out of the flesh.

He saw that Three Hairs was dazed, looking as if he were drunk.

He wobbled his head, looked up at An Ke, and let out a surprised "Ah-re?"

"Ma... Master, why... why are there four of you?"

"Little Mouse... I feel so dizzy~"

As expected...

An Ke had suspected as much when Three Hairs didn't crawl out for so long; the high-speed rotation had made Three Hairs dizzy.

Looking at Three Hairs, who had almost lost his combat ability, An Ke chuckled, "This move can only be used once."

"Old Crocodile, catch Three Hairs!"

An Ke tossed the dazed Three Hairs to Old Crocodile, who caught him in his mouth.

Anyway, Three Hairs was tough enough that he wouldn't be bitten to death.

Behind them, in the water.

The Giant Centipedes felt strange.

"Why is An Ke still so calm?"

"The Hippopotamus herd is closing in, and he doesn't plan to retreat?"

"He's probably been scared out of his wits by the pressure of the Hippopotamuses, right?"

"It's possible. He looks calm on the surface, but he must be panicking like crazy inside."

"Knowing he's about to die, he wants to put on a show before the end?"

"..."

The Giant Centipedes spat in disdain.

Some grinned cruelly, "The Hippopotamuses won't eat the flesh of An Ke's group."

"We'll be the ones getting a bargain then!!"

Meanwhile, up front.

The Hippopotamus herd watched An Ke as he stood calmly on their companion's corpse.

Their mouths and the corners of their eyes twitched.

"This bastard dares to desecrate our companion's corpse?"

"Unforgivable!!"

"If we don't kill this Two-legged Beast today, won't our title of 'Never Leaving a Crocodile Sitting' become a joke?"

"Two-legged Beast kid, have all your companions come over~"

"If you behave, we might consider letting you die peacefully."

"Otherwise, you will die very painfully."

"..."

The Hippopotamuses planned to keep An Ke's entire group there; that way, they wouldn't have to worry about today's events spreading to the animal world.

An Ke faced the Hippopotamuses. Instead of answering, he said in a disgusted, complaining tone:

"It's just one dead Hippopotamus, is it really necessary?"

"Besides, we were acting in self-defense."

The Hippopotamus herd was stunned; they didn't expect An Ke to say such a thing.

Just one dead Hippopotamus, is it really necessary?

Listen to that! Is that even human speech?

"You unrepentant bastard!"

"I'm so angry I'm laughing."

"Then if you all die, it won't be a big deal either, right?"

"I can't take it anymore, everyone attack!"

"Tear him into pieces!"

"..."

An Ke's words enraged the Hippopotamuses, and they began to attack recklessly.

Behind them.

The Giant Centipedes felt like they were going to burst from holding in their laughter.

They had seen people with low EQ, but never this low.

Saying "it's just one dead Hippopotamus?" in front of them.

It felt like it wasn't an EQ issue anymore, but an IQ issue.

"Wait to face the wrath of the Hippopotamuses!"

"Excellent, this speeds up the time for our escape."

Not far away.

Ah Giao was greatly shocked: "The Pa... Patriarch is playing with fire!"

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

"Why is Boss An continuing to provoke the Hippopotamuses?"

"Does he have complete confidence?"

"When these Hippopotamuses move, it's like an earthquake. Can Boss An really block them?"

"It feels a bit uncertain..."

"If these Hippopotamuses don't even attack and just charge, they could probably wipe out Boss An's group..."

"..."

While the Dragon Country audience's hearts were in their throats, Foreigners flooded into the live broadcast room.

Then they started sending bullet comments frantically.

"Go Boss An!!"

"The Dragon Country Kid must be okay!"

"We believe in you, you can do it."

"Boss An, kill all these Hippopotamuses!"

"..."

Dragon Country Masses: "???"

What does this mean?

...
