《Post-Apocalyptic: I Become The Dragon Lord From The Start》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio There was complete silence on the desolate streets. Uncleaned garbage was everywhere, and abandoned vehicles were strewn across the streets. The high-rise buildings were empty and deserted. The doors and windows were broken and giving off a cold light. The faint smell of blood permeated the surrounding air. The cries of the unknown were high and low, far and near, and they were extremely terrifying. It was a living scene of Doomsday! Feng Buhuo dragged his exhausted body and passed by a dilapidated house and a dark underground passage. He returned to a huge abandoned factory. He was not a native of this world. A month ago, he was mysteriously transported to this world. When he had just transported to this world, he was covered in injuries. He was lying in a pile of garbage and was on the verge of death. Just before he fainted and was in a daze, he saw a beautiful woman. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had been saved by this woman. The woman¡¯s name was Leng Hanyan, and she was the same age as him. After Leng Hanyan¡¯s explanation, Feng Buhuo found out that he had really been transported to an apocalyptic world. In this world, there used to be an extremely high level of technological civilization, but that had already become a thing of the past. In the current world, the human race had already declined and was no longer the leader of all races. All kinds of foreign races had appeared out of nowhere, such as the monsters, the beasts and even the Gods¡­ All the races had only one final goal, which was to safely survive through the apocalyptic crisis and live on. However, resources were limited, and limited resources could not sustain a large population of living beings. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of survival, the races were constantly in conflict with one another, and wars became frequent. For the surviving human race, although they did not have their high-tech civilization, the thirst for survival had resulted in the awakening of their supernatural abilities. Some people could control magic, some people could summon exotic beasts to attack, and some people could transform themselves¡­ For Leng Hanyan¡¯s case, her superpower was invisibility! In order to deal with attacks from the foreign races, people scattered all over the world established their own survivor bases. Leng Hanyan was also a member of the survivor base. In the base, everyone had to carry out the task of collecting resources. If Feng Buhuo wanted to obtain the right to survive, even if he didn¡¯t have any superpower, he had to go out and search for resources. However, for nearly half a month, Feng Buhuo had been searching in vain almost every day. In the beginning, the people in the base didn¡¯t take it to heart. However, as time passed, Feng Buhuo was also consuming their resources. Therefore, many people in the base were starting to get upset about Feng Buhuo. ¡°Sigh, another day of wasted effort.¡± Feng Buhuo sighed helplessly. He was so tired and his eyelids were so heavy that he could barely open his eyes. Standing in front of the factory gates, Feng Buhuo knocked at it a few times, following a pattern. The two gates suddenly opened. There were over a hundred people gathered within the huge factory building. When the gates were opened, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Feng Buhuo who had just entered. As expected, he was still empty-handed! Someone immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, ¡°Feng Buhuo, why did you go out for so long today, and still not get any resources?¡± ¡°How long have you been staying here? Do you know how much food was wasted on you?¡± Someone mercilessly said, ¡°You are just trying to live off from others, right? A trash like you who doesn¡¯t even have any superpower will just be a burden in any survivor base.¡± ¡°Our base will not accept people who are inadequate. Feng Buhuo, tomorrow will be the last day. If you still can¡¯t collect any resources by tomorrow, you will need to leave our Motie Base!¡± ¡­ As soon as these words were said, it immediately attracted many voices of agreement. In this apocalyptic world, sympathy and compassion always had to give way to the desire to survive. As Feng Buhuo listened to these sounds, it was as if he had sunk into the deep sea. His ears buzzed and his brain was blurry. He couldn¡¯t refute these people¡¯s words because even he felt that he was too incompetent. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they won¡¯t do that.¡± A clear and melodious voice sounded in his ear. Feng Buhuo, who seemed as he was about to drown, held on to the voice as if it was like a piece of wooden plank, giving him a moment of breathing space. Feng Buhuo turned his head around and saw a delicate and pretty face. It was Leng Hanyan. Leng Hanyan¡¯s eyes were clear, and she smiled at Feng Buhuo. ¡°Everyone will bound to have some complaints, and this is understandable. After all, it¡¯s not easy for anyone.¡± ¡°Actually, they¡¯re just a little agitated and saying what¡¯s on their minds. But you have to believe that they are actually good people. They won¡¯t let you fend for yourself.¡± ¡°Thank you, Hanyan. I really don¡¯t know¡­¡± Feng Buhuo gave a forced smile. He was very grateful for Leng Hanyan¡¯s comforting words. However, if his superpower does not awaken, how long would they be able to accept him? A week, a month, a year¡­ how long will it be? They will eventually kick him out one day. He had tried all kinds of methods with the help of Leng Hanyan to awaken his supernatural power, but to no avail. He didn¡¯t know why he had suddenly transported to this world, nor did he know how he was going to continue down this path. In this world where tens of thousands of races were competing against one another, a mere human being like himself would only meet his end eventually! Leng Hanyan seemed to have noticed what Feng Buhuo was worried about, but she could not help him in this matter. She smiled brightly and said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t think too much. You have to believe in yourself. Give yourself a little more time and you will find a way!¡± ¡°Be happy. You can be happy for a day, but you can also be unhappy for a day. This world is already miserable enough. There¡¯s no need for us to be sad anymore.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you. Be happy. You¡¯re right. There will always be a way!¡± Feng Buhuo let out a long sigh. Then, he took out two things from his pocket and handed them to Leng Hanyan. ¡°Take these. These are the only things I found.¡± Leng Hanyan opened her palm to take a look, and her eyes lit up. ¡°Walnut!¡± Feng Buhuo smiled. Seeing Leng Hanyan¡¯s expression, he felt a little relieved. ¡°Beep! Beep! Beep!¡± Just when the two were about to speak, the alarm suddenly sounded urgently. ¡°Not good, the Marauders are here. Everyone, get ready for battle!¡± Someone shouted. The entire factory instantly fell into a state of panic. ¡°Quick, quick, summon beasts in front, and psychics at the back. Get into battle formation!¡± Everyone was mobilized and they stood together, staring at the door vigilantly. Some of the younger people¡¯s legs were trembling non-stop. Even some of the veterans were sweating profusely. ¡°Buhuo, quickly hide yourself!¡± Leng Hanyan put the walnuts into her pocket and urged Feng Buhuo. ¡°Then you¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You still remember what my superpower is right? They can¡¯t hurt me!¡± After saying that, Leng Hanyan smiled at Feng Buhuo, and then her body disappeared into thin air. Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and hurriedly hid in an abandoned car. The Marauders were brutal. They roamed from place to place, making attacks and raids in search of resources of other groups to survive. They lived by raiding. They advocated disorder and violence, and they were very ruthless and destructive. No matter who it was, as long as they had their eyes on them, a fierce battle was bound to happen! Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t have any special abilities, so he couldn¡¯t fight like the others. If he tried to be brave and intervene, it would only be a brainless act of sending himself to his death! Just when he had hid himself, he heard a loud bang. ¡°Bang!¡± The two metal doors were knocked over instantly. A few corpses flew into the building, their deaths miserable! Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Keke, we¡¯ve finally found the rat den!¡± ¡°There are quite a several rats hiding here.¡± A few maniacal laughs sounded. The ground trembled and everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, a group of tall and sturdy figures swaggered in. The leader was a white and skinny man. He wore a black hoodie, a hat, and his head was full of grey hair. There was a long and deep scar on his face, making him look ferocious. He raised his eyes and glanced around. His cold gaze instantly made everyone shudder. ¡°Oh, there are quite a few. Let me introduce myself. I¡¯m Adolf. You can call me the Scavenger.¡± ¡°I¡¯m the leader of the Ice-Kill Pillage Group. These are the members of our group.¡± ¡°Our mission is very simple. We¡¯ll kill all of you rodents and carry out a massive clean-up!¡± The leader of the Motie Survivor Base was a middle-aged man named Joyce. He was also the strongest person in the base, a B-class summoner. However, this man called Adolf, who was standing in front of him, made him feel a sense of danger. Adolf¡¯s words made him widen his eyes in anger. He said indignantly, ¡°Scavenger? You¡¯re shameless. I think you¡¯re just a wild beast. You¡¯re all wild beasts that only know how to plunder and kill!¡± Adolf smiled contemptuously. ¡°Plunder and kill. This is an indispensable game that is essential for survival.¡± ¡°If the bottom part of the pyramid is removed, it will still be a pyramid. But if the top part of the pyramid is removed, will it still be a pyramid?¡± ¡°The creatures at the bottom level will be the first to be eliminated.¡± ¡°So, you all die!¡± As soon as Adolf finished speaking, the Marauders erupted into wild beast-like cheers and howls. The horrifying sounds made everyone¡¯s hearts beat wildly. This was a group of creatures that took pleasure in fresh blood. Words such as life, pain and compassion were not in their dictionaries and had no connection with them. They not only plundered resources but also enjoyed killing! Everyone knew that they would not show mercy. ¡°Warriors, the feast has begun!¡± Adolf was like a conductor as he waved his hands. The Marauders behind him charged ahead like bulls. ¡°Fight to the death!¡± Joyce also shouted. Everyone¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their sockets, but they didn¡¯t retreat. Because this was a life-and-death battle! ¡°Charge!¡± No one wanted to die. The belief in survival would often cause people to display extreme levels of strength and power. ¡­ In a short time, psychics with different supernatural abilities started to fight as a team. Some of them were summoners like Joyce. They could summon some powerful exotic beasts to fight while staying at the rear to command the battle. Others had elemental supernatural abilities. They could cast flames and condense ice. Some could transform into powerful exotic beasts to enhance their strength, speed and physical attributes. Finally, there were some special ability psychics, such as Leng Hanyan. Her special ability was invisibility! ¡°Sabre-toothed cat, go!¡± A black figure dashed out like lightning. It was commanded by a summoner from the Motie Survivor Base. ¡°Humph, you can¡¯t even withstand a single blow. Do you think a sick cat can rattle a tiger?!¡± The person from the Ice-Kill Pillage Group sneered, ¡°Let me show you what true strength is!¡± After saying that, his aura suddenly changed, and his clothes exploded. A bloodthirsty and terrifying gaze burst out of his eyes. ¡°Roar!¡± A loud and clear whistle sounded, and it was extremely terrifying. He opened his bloody mouth, and his teeth suddenly became much sharper. They were as sharp as a blade and could easily bite into anything! His hands also became two pairs of thick, fleshy palms, and his fingernails were extremely sharp. Suddenly, his palms swept out fiercely, instantly forming a strong wind force. The huge force made it impossible for the black figure to dodge. ¡°Bang!¡± A moment later, the black figure flew out abruptly and fell into a pile of steel bars. There was a whine and then there was no more movement. ¡°Little Tooth!¡± Seeing the demise of his sabre-toothed cat, the owner¡¯s eyes instantly turned red. He was a summoner, and the exotic beast he summoned was the sabre-toothed cat. That was still a C-class exotic beast. How could it be defeated by a single blow?! He was still in a state of shock when a huge meaty palm suddenly came over. ¡°Bang!¡± The huge impact caused half of his face to sink. He fell directly to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. ¡­ This kind of battle happened in every corner of the factory. For a moment, spells were cast everywhere. The exotic beasts were ferocious and wailing incessantly. It didn¡¯t take long for the Marauders to completely gain the upper hand. The survivors¡¯ blood was everywhere. Perhaps, after a while, only the Marauders would be left standing here. Feng Buhuo was secretly observing. He didn¡¯t have any superpower. Under such circumstances, he didn¡¯t even have the chance to make a move. However, he was still nervously watching everything that happened. Although Leng Hanyan had become invisible, he knew that she was still fighting. However, although the power of invisibility was special, it didn¡¯t enhance her combat power. Therefore, her power level was only D-class. Leng Hanyan¡¯s situation was not good. Suddenly, Feng Buhuo saw Adolf acting strangely. He had attacked several times, but all of them were aimed at the air. Could it be Leng Hanyan? Adolf frowned with an unfriendly look on his face. He sensed a killing intent locked onto him several times, but every time he made a move, the killing intent would instantly disappear. ¡°Is it invisibility? Interesting.¡± Adolf said in a low voice, his lips curling into a sneer. ¡°In that case, let me show you what I am capable of.¡± ¡°Freeze, snowfall!¡± With a soft shout, Adolf formed a seal with both hands, and instantly, the temperature of the entire factory dropped. The ground and the upper part of the factory were covered with ice and snow. Everyone was frightened by this sudden change and stopped fighting. ¡°Oh no!¡± Feng Buhuo secretly cried out. Sure enough, in the next moment, everyone suddenly realized that their feet were stuck to the ground because of the ice and snow. Although it was not to the extent that they could not move, their movements would also be greatly restricted. As for Leng Hanyan¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve caught you.¡± Adolf narrowed his eyes and looked at the footprints that appeared out of thin air on the snowy ground beside him. Then, he waved his hands and a force was released. ¡°Ah!¡± Leng Hanyan felt the pain and cried out. Then, her figure appeared. She was hit by his palm and fell to the ground. Her body flew backwards sliding across the ice surface and hit a wall before she stopped. ¡°Wah!¡± She couldn¡¯t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. However, before she could recover, she saw an ice arrow flying toward her. At that moment, she felt her mind go blank. Moreover, her whole body was in pain, and she couldn¡¯t exert any strength at all. ¡°Am I going to die like this?¡± Leng Hanyan suddenly felt her eyelids getting heavier. The exclamations of the crowd gradually faded. Adolf looked at this scene coldly. In his eyes, Leng Hanyan was already a corpse. However, in the next second, a sudden change occurred! An afterimage flashed past Leng Hanyan, and Leng Hanyan instantly disappeared. His frost arrow fiercely pierced into the ground where Leng Hanyan was originally at. Leng Hanyan was saved?! ¡°Hanyan, wake up!¡± Hearing a familiar voice, Leng Hanyan slowly opened her eyes. She first saw a handsome face, and then a scarlet scar. ¡°Buhuo, are you injured? !¡± Leng Hanyan exclaimed. ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m so glad that you¡¯re fine!¡± Feng Buhuo forced a bitter smile. Just now, the ice arrow slashed across his chest, leaving a long scar. If there was a slight deviation, he would have been a corpse. Right now, fresh blood was seeping out from his chest. Fresh blood dripped on the ground, on his clothes, and the necklace on his chest. This quaint and simple necklace was a memento from Feng Buhuo¡¯s parents and had been with him for many years. Suddenly, the necklace that was stained with fresh blood gave off a purple glow. Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan were so shocked by this scene that they became speechless. Adolf did not see this subtle change. He walked over and sneered, ¡°Kid, you¡¯re not bad. You dare to save people under my attack.¡± ¡°But now, you¡¯d better think about who can save you.¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The purple light turned into a wisp of purple gas and entered Feng Buhuo¡¯s body. The necklace immediately dimmed. In an instant, Feng Buhuo felt his body become extremely uncomfortable. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling. His eyes also emitted a golden light and it was extremely peculiar. A faint voice seemed to ring in his mind. ¡°Roar!¡± Feng Buhuo felt so uncomfortable that he opened his body and shouted. Suddenly, a scene that shocked everyone appeared. The space suddenly began to distort, and violent winds continued to blow. A huge black hole appeared and immense pressure was instantly released from the black hole. Everyone felt a powerful force as if a mountain was pressing down on them. ¡°He, he is a summoner?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, only a summoner can distort space. However, what kind of summoned beast could cause such a huge commotion?!¡± ¡°This was created by Feng Buhuo. Isn¡¯t he useless? How could he¡­¡± At this moment, everyone forgot about the fight. The unforeseen event caused everyone to be in a daze. Adolf stopped in his tracks, shock was all over his face! But Leng Hanyan, who was behind Feng Buhuo, had eyes glowing with splendour.. Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The space was distorted, like steam in the desert. The huge black hole was dozens of meters high. Without a doubt, this was a summoning ability. Many people present had this ability. However, what shocked them was that they had never seen such a huge black hole. A summoning ability referred to an awakened ability that could help one fight by summoning an exotic beast. Generally speaking, each person could only summon one exotic beast. The relationship between an exotic beast and its summoner was that of a master and a servant, as well as a comrade-in-arms. Meanwhile, the summoned beasts were divided into different levels. From low to high, they were divided into seven levels: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. Although the summoned beasts could be upgraded, this was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The first few levels were fine but starting from A-class, it was a huge divide. To advance to S-class was dependent on talent, opportunity and ability. B-class summoned beasts were rare. And S-class summoned beasts had the power to destroy an entire city! The strength of a summoned beast could be deduced from the movement it made during the summoning. The strongest summoner present was the leader of the survivors, Joyce. His summoned beast was a B-class evil bull. However, when he summoned the evil bull back then, the black hole was only three to four meters high! And this black hole before him? It was at least twenty meters high! Then, how powerful would this summoned beast be? S-class? SS-class? ¡­ He didn¡¯t dare to imagine it. No one dared to imagine it, because no one had ever seen such a scene before. Joyce¡¯s mouth was wide open, but he couldn¡¯t say a single word. The whole place was completely silent. All they could hear was Feng Buhuo breathing heavily. The physical pain he experienced just now seemed to have drained all the energy in his body. Everyone held their breaths and stared at this scene nervously. Adolf was no exception. He was an A-class skill psychic and he could control the power of ice. However, even he had the urge to crawl when facing the aura coming out of the black hole. They seemed to have seen a huge, ferocious and terrifying beast slowly walking out of the black hole. Then, this would lead to a one-sided, horrifying and tragic massacre! The Marauders no longer displayed the imposing manner they had earlier on. They enjoyed killing, but they were also afraid of death. On the other hand, the survivors were anticipating something. The feeling of being able to survive in a desperate situation like this was wonderful! They didn¡¯t expect that Feng Buhuo, who had yet to awaken his superpower as of late, would create such a huge commotion now. Suddenly, some noises were coming from the black hole. Everyone shivered. Even Feng Buhuo himself was staring at it. It¡¯s coming out! It¡¯s coming out! Eh, no, was that a claw? It was so small? Everyone was confused again. The next second, a round head appeared. Then, its body, wings and tail. When it completely walked out of the black hole, the black hole instantly disappeared. It stood in the void, its small wings flapping non-stop. Its big eyes rolled around, sizing up the people below. In the end, its gaze fell on the stunned Feng Buhuo. Everyone was stunned. This little thing seemed to be recognizing its master? After a while, a burst of loud laughter broke the silence. ¡°Haha, am I seeing things? Is this a little puppy with wings?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s just a dog. I thought it would be some kind of ferocious rare beast. I¡¯m dying of laughter!¡± ¡°Ferocious rare beast? It¡¯s indeed quite fierce, more like cutie-fierce!¡± ¡°Just this little guy, I can strangle it with one hand. If I use my second hand, I¡¯ll lose!¡± Adolf let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, it seemed as if he was facing his greatest enemy. Now, it seemed that he was making a mountain out of a molehill. He thought, ¡°No, I wasn¡¯t afraid just now. I was being cautious.¡± To cover up his fear just now, Adolf put on a savage look. He pointed at Feng Buhuo and said, ¡°Is this your trick? If that¡¯s the case, then I want to tell you that no one can save you today!¡± After saying that, cold air was released from his body. The other Marauders also stared at the survivors with a fierce and ruthless look. The survivors felt that the air had become colder again, and despair overcame them. They felt as if they were riding up a skyscraper. They had just ascended to the highest point when they suddenly lost control and fell. This extreme difference in emotions made them dizzy. Just now, before Adolf had made a move, they had been completely crushed. Now, if the A-class Adolf joined in, there was no way they could fight back and would be at the mercy of them! ¡°Buhuo¡­¡± Staring at the ¡°little puppy¡± in the air and the back view of Feng Buhuo, Leng Hanyan¡¯s heart was also filled with desolation. She was originally thrilled for him to awaken his superpower, but who would have thought that the beast he summoned was a cute little pet! It was really cute, but can cuteness kill? In the end, their situation was not optimistic. She couldn¡¯t help but feel bitter. Feng Buhuo¡¯s eyes were fixed on the ¡°little puppy¡±. There was not a trace of despair on his face. On the contrary, it was excitement, or rather, confusion and excitement. Because when he looked at the ¡°little puppy¡±, a transparent panel appeared in front of his eyes! ¡°Summoned Beast Name: Fiery Dragon¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Level: S-class¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Attribute: Fire/Superpower¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Status: Healthy/curious¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Hobbies: Eating, drinking and having fun¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Loyalty: 50%¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Upgrade Requirement: two S-class source cores, success rate 50%; one SS-class source core, success rate 70%¡± Feng Buhuo finally understood what was going on with the golden light from his eyes just now. It turned out that his eyes had undergone a huge change. He was now equipped with all the knowledge about the summoned beast! Although this fiery dragon¡¯s preferences made people not know whether to laugh or cry. However, this was an S-class summoned beast! Feng Buhuo knew that S-class summoned beasts could annihilate tens of thousands of enemies with a single move! However, he did not understand why this fiery dragon¡¯s loyalty was only 50%. But now wasn¡¯t the time to think about this. He waved at the fiery dragon in the air. The fiery dragon seemed to hesitate for a moment before it slowly descended towards him. ¡°Kid, I see that you like this dog quite a bit. Alright, let me send you on your way.¡± Seeing this scene, Adolf waved his hand and a Marauder immediately walked towards Feng Buhuo. He swaggered while walking, his face full of arrogance and disdain. ¡°Kid, take your dog and go!¡± Before he finished his words, that person jumped up, his fists in the air instantly became the size of sandbags, and then suddenly fell towards Feng Buhuo. ¡°Danger, quickly dodge!¡± Leng Hanyan blurted out, her eyes anxious. But her body was still in pain, and she couldn¡¯t move at all. She could only watch helplessly as the fist, the size of a sandbag, was about to land on Feng Buhuo¡¯s body. The extremely oppressive strong wind caused Feng Buhuo¡¯s breathing to become sluggish. A fatal sense of danger made him have no choice but to shout out loud. ¡°Little Fiery!¡± The fiery dragon seemed to reveal a puzzled expression. Little Fiery? It thought, ¡°Is this my name? It¡¯s too sloppy!¡± However, it seemed to understand the meaning of Feng Buhuo and subconsciously wanted to follow his orders. ¡°Roar!¡± In the next moment, hot scarlet flames spat out from the mouth of Little Fiery. Everyone suddenly felt as if they were in a hot furnace. Even the blood in their bodies began to boil. Within the factory, some of the steel and cement also began to show signs of melting. This scene shocked everyone. It could melt metal even from a distance. What level of fire was this?! The Marauder, who was still in the air, was scared out of his wits. Even the hair on his body began to burn. He knew that he had to escape immediately. Otherwise, he might turn into a pile of ashes within the next second. However, before he could react, the heatwave had completely engulfed him. The flames only lasted for a moment before dissipating completely. And the Marauder had also disappeared, turning into a pile of ashes. It was an unbelievable sight. A seemingly docile puppy could release such strong powers in that short moment! Everyone present was stunned. Something didn¡¯t seem right. Reverse, reverse, reverse again¡­ What was going on? What kind of creature was this summoned beast? Everyone felt their scalps go numb and their heads turned into mush. A Marauder stared blankly at the fiery dragon and couldn¡¯t help but blurt out, ¡°This little thing, could it be a dragon whelp?!¡± He was muttering to himself, but in this quiet environment where even a needle could be heard falling, it was like a bomb, causing everyone to instantly explode. Dragon whelp?! Dragon?! That was a supreme and incredibly powerful creature! As long as it was even slightly related to a dragon, it was an unfathomable existence! This ¡°little puppy¡± was a dragon whelp?! Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In this apocalyptic world, dragons were taboo creatures. They had the power to destroy the world, but their whereabouts were mysterious. Almost no one had ever seen a creature such as a dragon with their own eyes. However, no one doubted that even a dragon whelp had supreme power! At this moment, all the intruders had only one thought: Escape! If they didn¡¯t escape, they would die. ¡°D**n it!¡± Adolf gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred. It was not easy to find a survivor base, and he did not believe that with his strength, even if he could not defeat a dragon whelp, surely he could still save his own life? Adolf decisively killed two people, but he could not stop his minions from escaping. ¡°Those who run away will only die. Only by fighting to the death can they survive!¡± What he said might be the truth, but the Marauders had already been scared out of their wits by the fiery dragon. Everyone fled in panic and filed out. ¡°Little Fiery, attack!¡± Feng Buhuo wouldn¡¯t let them run away just like that. But Little Fiery only rolled its eyes at him, and then casually spat out a few fireballs. Feng Buhuo was momentarily stunned. Wasn¡¯t this fiery dragon summoned by him? However, from the looks of it, it didn¡¯t seem obliged to obey his orders. Adolf didn¡¯t make a move. Instead, he stared at Feng Buhuo. After seeing the fiery dragon being indifferent to Feng Buhuo¡¯s orders, he was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that dragons were indeed dragons. Even if it was a summoner¡¯s order, they might not necessarily obey it. As long as this kid was killed, then this dragon would probably not attack again! He had always been a merciless person. He did not hesitate to attack. In an instant, a few ice arrows condensed into form and shot towards Feng Buhuo. Feng Buhuo was trying to command the fiery dragon. All of a sudden, he felt a chilly aura. His entire body could not help but shiver. Within a split of a second, Feng Buhuo saw that a few ice arrows were about to hit him. The fiery dragon suddenly spat out a few fireballs. Although the dragon whelp had only 50% loyalty to its master and was largely indifferent to Feng Buhuo¡¯s orders, there was a subtle connection between the summoner and the summoned beast. Seeing that its master was being attacked, the dragon whelp made its move. ¡°Bang!¡± The ice arrows collided with the fireballs and instantly vanished. The ice arrows had already melted before they even touched the fireballs. Seeing that his ice arrows were gone, Adolf¡¯s eyes widened and his pupils rapidly dilated. He was completely dumbfounded. Only then did Feng Buhuo react. He turned his head to look and understood what had just happened. His gaze met with Adolf¡¯s, and a transparent panel appeared once again. ¡°Psychic¡¯s Name: Adolf¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Level: A-class¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Attribute: Ice¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Status: Brutal/shocking¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Weakness: Fire/Superpower¡± This guy¡¯s weakness happened to be fire! In other words, the dragon whelp was superior to him in terms of attributes. Not to mention, it was also superior to him in terms of levels! Adolf¡¯s attack didn¡¯t succeed but he wasn¡¯t discouraged. Instead, he became even more furious. He took a big step forward and rushed towards Feng Buhuo. With one thought, a cold aura instantly poured out. The water vapour in the air immediately condensed into an ice sword. The ice sword couldn¡¯t be lengthened. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a three-foot-long blue sword. ¡°Little Fiery, kill him!¡± Seeing that Adolf was approaching in a flash, Feng Buhuo shouted. Little Fiery was perfectly capable of restraining Adolf, and its level was one level higher than him. As long as Little Fiery made a move, Adolf would die without a doubt! The only issue he had was that Little Fiery didn¡¯t seem to be very obedient to him. But at this moment, Adolf¡¯s ice sword was three feet in front of him. Feng Buhuo could already feel the chill on the sword. He knew that if Little Fiery had hesitated for another second, even if he didn¡¯t die, he would be heavily injured! Adolf was overjoyed. His prediction was indeed correct. Now, as long as his long sword advanced further, it would stab this kid. Then, he would capture this kid and deal with this dragon whelp. However, at this critical moment of life and death, Little Fiery made its move. ¡°Roar!¡± Another majestic roar. Adolf¡¯s heart trembled, and his feet stopped for a moment. However, this was the moment that determined life and death. An exceptionally dense and hot crimson red instantly gushed out from Little Fiery¡¯s mouth. Everyone felt the coldness being dispelled in an instant, and in its place was extreme heat. Adolf looked at this ball of flame in a daze. He knew that he only needed to extend his sword one foot further to win. But he also knew that he couldn¡¯t do it. In the end, he still underestimated the strength of the dragon race, so he had to pay the price for this. This ball of flame was scorching hot, swift and unavoidable. It could burn everything. He didn¡¯t even have the time to use any of his special abilities before the sparks had already touched him. ¡°Woo Woo!¡± The scarlet flames instantly enveloped him. Adolf cried out in pain, but even his cries were swallowed by the flames. Only the sound of the flames burning his bones could be heard. A moment later, Adolf turned into a pile of ashes. Some things that were not combustible fell to the ground. Everyone was so scared by this scene that they were a little delirious. Even those Marauders who were trying to escape forgot to flee. ¡°Pu, Pu, Pu!¡± Little Fiery casually spat out a few more fireballs. ¡°Ah!!!¡± In an instant, all sorts of wails could be heard. The power of these fireballs was far less intense than the flames from before, and they didn¡¯t directly burn people to ashes. But instead, it made these Marauders suffer unbearable burning pain. At this moment, they were extremely regretful. They regretted going out today and finding the wrong target to raid. The most regretful thing was that they didn¡¯t grow two more legs so that they could run fast enough to escape. They used their own lives to once again verify a saying: A dragon is a dragon. When you encounter a dragon, it is not up to you to decide your fate. At this time, their voices sounded like the evil spirits in Hell. Seeing this, the remaining survivors quickly made their move and took advantage of the situation. Not long after, the battle finally ended. ¡°Buhuo, this, this is what you summoned?¡± Leng Hanyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Little Fiery in the air with a shocked expression.. Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°It¡­ is it a dragon?¡± Even Leng Hanyan found it hard to believe when she asked this question. Feng Buhuo nodded. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a fiery dragon. I call it Little Fiery.¡± Hearing that Little Fiery was its name, the dragon whelp was instantly unhappy. With its hands-on its hips, it kept making weird noises in protest. However, its protest only caused Feng Buhuo to burst into laughter. Hearing Feng Buhuo¡¯s affirmative answer, the others¡¯ minds exploded. They stayed far away from Feng Buhuo, not because they were hiding from him, but because they were too afraid of the dragon whelp. If they were careless and provoked this little guy, there wouldn¡¯t even be ashes left behind! ¡°Oh my god, is that a dragon?!¡± ¡°Of course it is. Otherwise, what kind of creature could have such powerful abilities and kill an A-class psychic when it is still a baby?!¡± ¡°I¡¯m dead for sure. I used to treat Buhuo so badly. He won¡¯t take revenge on me, will he?¡± ¡°Oh my god, me too. If I had known that Buhuo could summon dragons, I wouldn¡¯t have dared to say anything against him even if he ate and drank for free every day!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, Buhuo isn¡¯t a petty person. As long as you know your mistakes and learn to respect him in the future, I think he will forgive you all.¡± Joyce comforted the crowd. When the crowd heard Joyce¡¯s words, they also felt that it made sense. They all patted their chests and promised to treat Buhuo well. ¡°Of course. In the future, the person I admire the most is Buhuo.¡± ¡°Me too. I¡¯ll do whatever Buhuo says. In any case, I¡¯ll be Buhuo¡¯s follower in the future!¡± After today¡¯s events, everyone¡¯s attitude towards Feng Buhuo had undergone a tremendous change. In their hearts, Feng Buhuo was no longer an incompetent good for nothing. On the contrary, he was the enigmatic expert and their saviour! ¡­ ¡°By the way, Buhuo, you didn¡¯t awaken your special ability before? Why was your summoning ability suddenly activated? Moreover, the creature that you summoned turned out to be¡­ a dragon?¡± Leng Hanyan thought for a moment. Was a dragon a summoned beast? Of course not! A dragon was a dragon, one of the most powerful creatures in the world. Using the words ¡°summoned beast¡± to describe it, perhaps the next one to turn into ashes would be her. ¡°This, I don¡¯t know either.¡± Feng Buhuo said with a frown. ¡°This is too extraordinary. In this world, some people can summon all kinds of exotic beasts, but I¡¯ve never heard of anyone who can summon a dragon.¡± Leng Hanyan was surprised. What happened to Feng Buhuo was a bit too strange. Feng Buhuo indeed didn¡¯t know what was going on. It seemed that his blood had flowed into the necklace, which caused the abnormality. However, this necklace was his parents¡¯ memento. He had brought it with him when he had been transported from another world. How could it activate the special ability in this world? Moreover, it was able to summon the dragon race. This was incredible. Could it be that this necklace was an item from this world? Then how did his parents obtain this necklace? A bunch of complicated matters were tangled together like a mess. Feng Buhuo thought about it, but he couldn¡¯t come up with a probable explanation. ¡­ The joy of victory didn¡¯t last long. Although they had obtained the final victory in this battle, they had also lost many companions. Whether a base was strong or not, to a large extent, depended on the number of people in the team. Therefore, today¡¯s battle was also a loss for them. It was a disastrous defeat. ¡°Alright, everyone, let¡¯s clean up the battlefield.¡± In the end, it was Joyce, the leader of the survivor base, who broke the silence. Although the deceased had passed away, those who were still alive had to continue to survive. After a great battle, although it was the most sorrowful juncture, it was also the most rewarding moment! With sorrowful emotions, everyone began to clean up the battlefield. Very quickly, a sense of excitement gradually spread out as they harvested a variety of resources. This group of Marauders was already considered quite strong, so all sorts of resources were far more abundant than theirs. It was enough to give the survivors, who had suffered great losses, a chance to catch their breath. Feng Buhuo did not join the team that was cleaning up the battlefield. The victory of this war was brought by him alone. Therefore, he did not need to do it himself. Everyone would share the good things with him. Right now, he was more concerned about the changes to his body and the condition of this dragon whelp. ¡­ It was already late at night. The people at the base had already packed everything up. The bodies of the victims were arranged in a row. The survivors held torches and their faces were dark. The bodies would be cremated tonight, and cremation was the best arrangement. Only by cremation, their bodies would not be coveted by demon beasts and the spread of diseases could be avoided. Now, they were carrying out their final mourning. Because after the cremation, they would no longer feel sorry for the dead. In this Doomsday, death was a common drama that played out every day. It was the most useless and fatal thing to extend the grief for the dead to the next day. Feng Buhuo sat a distance away and watched this scene quietly. This was the most tragic death he had seen in the past month. Only now did he truly feel that he was in the apocalyptic era. A chaotic, disorderly and bloodthirsty apocalypse. If he wanted to live, he couldn¡¯t rely on any organization or power. The only thing he could trust was his abilities. To him, it was the fiery dragon. However, the fiery dragon was quite arrogant and frequently ignored him. Everyone looked at the dragon whelp and hid far away, not daring to go near to it. With Joyce¡¯s guidance, Buhuo had no choice but to place the dragon whelp into the summoning space. Speaking of this summoning space, it was quite special. This was a method that only the summoner can use. Other psychics didn¡¯t have it. When the summoned beast didn¡¯t need to fight, it could be withdrawn into the summoning space. In the summoning space, the summoned beast could rest, recover its energy and reduce its energy consumption. When it needed to fight, the summoned beast could be summoned again. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± A melodious voice was heard and Leng Hanyan sat down beside Feng Buhuo. ¡°Nothing.¡± Feng Buhuo¡¯s was feeling a little depressed. Leng Hanyan patted his shoulder. ¡°Alright, this kind of thing is destined to happen.¡± ¡°You should be more optimistic about it. I believe that with your abilities, you will not encounter such a thing.¡± ¡°Oh right, what level is your dragon whelp?¡± ¡°It should be an S-class.¡± Feng Buhuo used an uncertain tone. His eyes could see the attributes of others. It seemed that others did not possess such a skill. However, he did not wish for others to know about this secret. ¡°As expected, an S-class. This is too unbelievable!¡± Leng Hanyan revealed an envious expression. ¡°But, aren¡¯t there also SS-class and SSS-class creatures? It¡¯s still not enough!¡± Feng Buhuo could not help but sigh. Leng Hanyan directly rolled her eyes. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t try to be humble after getting such a good deal. An S-class is already very impressive. It can be said to have top-notch combat strength.¡± ¡°Do you think that an SS-class is easy to obtain? That¡¯s a rare existence. In the entire apocalyptic world, you can just count with your fingers.¡± ¡°As for SSS-class, that¡¯s even more legendary.¡± ¡°Just like your S-class dragon whelp, it can already annihilate many Marauder teams.¡± Feng Buhuo smiled. S-class might be very powerful, but to truly deal with the entire apocalyptic world was still far from enough! After that, Feng Buhuo suddenly remembered the requirements for levelling up in the dragon whelp¡¯s attribute panel.. He asked curiously, ¡°Oh right, Hanyan, do you know about the source core?¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Leng Hanyan nodded. ¡°Yes, I know a little. It¡¯s said that all psychics can upgrade through the source core.¡± ¡°What exactly is the source core?¡± Feng Buhuo had never heard of it. ¡°The source core is an energy crystal. It¡¯s a mysterious mineral that was formed naturally.¡± ¡°Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the planet we¡¯re on was forced to be involved in the chaotic movement of the galaxy. The natural environment underwent tremendous changes and the living conditions deteriorated drastically. Species mutated and creatures from the outside world invaded our planet.¡± ¡°However, a new mineral has also emerged, which was the source core. The source core contains extremely powerful energy, which could help all creatures break the shackles of their bodies and enter into a more powerful state.¡± ¡°The source core is also divided into seven levels, just like the psychics. Generally speaking, it is necessary to absorb two or more source cores of the same level, or one source core of a higher level, to upgrade.¡± ¡°Source cores are also the most precious resources in this world. Unfortunately, because they are too precious, we can¡¯t even obtain a source core in our base.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why our base has not been able to grow strong, and can only endure the fate of being bullied.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you today, I¡¯m afraid we would have been one of those corpses laying out there.¡± At this point, Leng Hanyan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. She was only a D-class psychic, and although her invisibility power sounded good, she could only use it to do some petty stuff most of the time. At the critical moment, she couldn¡¯t protect herself at all. How could she not want to upgrade herself? Feng Buhuo suddenly realized that this was the way to level up. But now that he knew the way, where could he find the source core? The two of them were deep in their thoughts and did not notice Joyce approaching them. ¡°What are you two talking about?¡± Seeing Joyce before them, the two of them stood up. ¡°Uncle Joyce.¡± It had to be said that Feng Buhuo¡¯s impression of Joyce was good. When he had recovered from his injuries, everyone wanted to chase him away. It was Joyce and Leng Hanyan who saved him despite the others¡¯ objections. Joyce gestured for them to sit down and said, ¡°You guys don¡¯t have to be too despondent. Living on is the best way to remember them!¡± ¡°We understand,¡± Leng Hanyan replied calmly. ¡°Buhuo, we still have to thank you. To be honest, our lives were saved by you.¡± ¡°Uncle Joe, you¡¯re too polite. If it weren¡¯t for you and Hanyan, I might have died a month ago.¡± ¡°That¡¯s alright. Those things were in the past. We have saved each other. We can be considered kindred spirits.¡± Joyce smiled. He was very appreciative of Feng Buhuo¡¯s attitude. ¡°By the way, this thing belongs to you.¡± After saying that, Joyce took out a fist-sized transparent ore. The ore had two pointed ends and was round in the middle. It was exquisite and translucent, emitting a pink glow in the night. Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan were immediately attracted by this ore. ¡°This is¡­¡± Leng Hanyan was so nervous that she was could hardly continue her sentence. Joyce smiled when he saw their reactions. ¡°This is a source core, a C-class source core.¡± ¡°C-class source core?!¡± This was the first time Feng Buhuo had seen a source core. He did not expect that nuclear energy was such a beautiful thing. It was a thousand times more beautiful than a diamond, no, ten thousand times more beautiful! It seemed to contain a power that affected people¡¯s hearts, causing them to fall for it at a glance. Joyce smiled. When he first saw a source core, his expression was much more exaggerated than the two of them. ¡°That¡¯s right. This is a C-class source core. We found it on the second leader¡¯s body when we were cleaning up the battlefield today.¡± ¡°Of course, it should belong to you!¡± After saying that, Joyce handed the source core directly to Feng Buhuo. Leng Hanyan¡¯s gaze was fixated on the source core. However, she also knew that this source core should belong to Feng Buhuo. No one else was qualified to fight for it. Feng Buhuo, who had saved the entire base by himself, deserved to have this source core. Feng Buhuo sized it up and then asked, ¡°Uncle Joe, how did you know that this is a C-class source core?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard about this too. A source core has seven levels, and the light it gives off is also different. From the highest level to the lowest level, the colours are gold, red, orange, purple, blue, pink and green respectively.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Feng Buhuo was delighted. Given that the colours were indicators of the different levels for the source core, he would be able to find them on his own. ¡°Okay, Uncle Joe, then I¡¯ll take this source core.¡± ¡°You should!¡± Joyce nodded his head and smiled. Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t decline, because Little Fiery needed to be upgraded. Then he summoned Little Fiery out of the summoning space and hurled the source core directly to it. Little Fiery was woken up by its master from the summoning space and its face was full of resentment. ¡°I thought it was something major, but in the end, he just used a low-class source core to send me away?¡± Little Fiery thought to itself. Therefore, it twisted its head and ignored him, letting the source core directly fall to the ground. Leng Hanyan immediately cried out in surprise and hurriedly picked up the source core from the ground. She was about to scold it, but when she looked up and saw Little Fiery¡¯s arrogant expression, she quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. What a joke, this was a dragon whelp. Would she dare scold it? Unless she didn¡¯t want to live anymore. Feng Buhuo was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Little Fiery was an S-class creature. If it wanted to advance to the next level, it would need at least two S-class source cores. A C-class source core was nothing to it. From the looks of it, a low-class source core was useless to him. If he wanted to help Little Fiery level up, he had to try his best to find a source core that was S-class or above. Thinking of this, Feng Buhuo suddenly glanced at Leng Hanyan, and a transparent panel opened again. ¡°Psychic¡¯s Name: Leng Hanyan¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Level: D-class¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Attribute: Special ability¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Ability: Invisibility¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Status: Envious/Helpless¡± ¡°Required materials: one C-class source core, success rate 90%; two D-class source cores, success rate 80%¡± Yes, Leng Hanyan was indeed only D-class, and this source core was just right for her. ¡°Hanyan, do you want this source core?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Leng Hanyan was instantly startled when she heard his question.. Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Do you want it or not?¡± ¡°Yes, I do, but I can¡¯t take it. It belongs to you!¡± ¡°Since you want it, then I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t decline it. As you can see, Little Fiery doesn¡¯t care about this source core at all. There¡¯s no use for me to keep it.¡± Feng Buhuo continued, ¡°Besides, if you hadn¡¯t saved me back then, I wouldn¡¯t be where I am today, and I wouldn¡¯t have any spoils. So I¡¯ll give it to you, and you can accept it with peace of mind.¡± Joyce was first shocked by Feng Buhuo¡¯s generosity, but then he understood. Indeed, although C-class source cores were very precious to survivors like them, their summoned beasts were simply not worth it. Sigh, comparisons are odious! Moreover, Leng Hanyan just happened to need this C-class source core. After absorbing this source core, she should be able to advance to C-class. At that time, their base¡¯s strength would be even stronger. Thus, he also chimed in, ¡°Yes, Buhuo has a point. Hanyan, just accept it.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Leng Hanyan still hesitated for a moment. However, under the insistence of Feng Buhuo and Joyce, she could no longer refuse. ¡°Buhuo, thank you!¡± Leng Hanyan looked at Feng Buhuo with an extremely grateful gaze. ¡°Yes.¡± Feng Buhuo lightly nodded. ¡°Hurry up and absorb it to gain breakthrough.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± After agreeing, Leng Hanyan took the source core and began to absorb it. The method of using the source core was also different. For a summoned beast like Little Fiery, it could just swallow it. However, for a special ability psychic like Leng Hanyan, she could only absorb energy through contact. This method of absorption was slower and the effect wasn¡¯t that good. But there was nothing they could do about it. ¡°Roar!¡± Just as Feng Buhuo watched Leng Hanyan absorb the source core, Little Fiery suddenly cried out. ¡°Little Fiery, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Feng Buhuo asked. But Little Fiery didn¡¯t know how to speak. It just stared at the barbecued meat on the bonfire with its big eyes. Its small mouth was wide open as if it would drool in the next second. Joyce couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Hey, this little fellow¡­ little dragon, could it be that you¡¯re hungry?¡± In the end, he didn¡¯t dare to be disrespectful to the dragon race. Feng Buhuo was also stunned. ¡°Little Fiery, you¡¯re hungry? Do you want to eat barbecued meat?¡± ¡°Woo Woo, Woo Woo!¡± Hearing this, Little Fiery was instantly excited. Its two little claws waved wildly in the air and its little head kept nodding like a garlic grinder. Although Feng Buhuo did not understand what it was saying, its actions spoke louder than words and he immediately grasped its meaning. It was also a coincidence. After coming to this world, this was his first time eating barbecued meat. In this apocalyptic city, barbecued meat was also an extremely precious thing. If he hadn¡¯t saved everyone today, he wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to enjoy it. However, since Little Fiery had worked hard today, it deserved some rewards. Therefore, he chuckled, picked up a small knife, and cut a palm-sized piece of barbecued meat. ¡°Here, the delicious food is here.¡± ¡°Woo Woo!¡± Little Fiery howled, then took the barbecued meat from Feng Buhuo and began to devour it. Feng Buhuo was originally smiling as he watched this scene, but in the next moment, he was dumbfounded. In a short moment, the palm-sized barbecued meat vanished into Little Fiery¡¯s mouth. ¡°Howl!¡± Little Fiery looked at Feng Buhuo with eager eyes. Feng Buhuo looked back at Little Fiery, and his heart skipped a beat. What, you still want it? At this moment, the transparent panel opened again, and Feng Buhuo was shocked to see that Little Fiery¡¯s attribute panel has subtly changed. ¡°Summoned Beast Name: Fiery Dragon¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Level: S-class¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Attribute: Fire/Superpower¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Status: Healthy/Curious¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Hobbies: Eating, drinking and having fun¡± ¡°Summoned Beast Loyalty: 51%¡± ¡°Summoned Beast upgrade requirement: two S-class source cores, success rate 50%; one SS-class source core, success rate 70%¡± After eating the barbecued meat, the dragon whelp¡¯s submission rate increased by 1%! What was this? He didn¡¯t think that even eating a piece of barbecued meat could increase its loyalty. Was it treating himself like a nanny or something? But you can be greedy, but most importantly, you still have to be obedient! For a moment, it was as if Feng Buhuo had discovered a new world. Gritting his teeth, he steeled his heart and gave Little Fiery another piece of barbecued meat that was half the size of its body. However, after another whirlwind, this piece of meat was also finished in an instant. Then, Little Fiery once again looked at Feng Buhuo with eager eyes. This time, its expression was even more earnest. ¡°Haha, little dragon, you¡¯re also a gluttonous dragon!¡± Joyce laughed loudly. Feng Buhuo also had a helpless look on his face. In the end, he still compromised. There was no other way. If he wanted the horse to run, he need to feed the horse with grass. It wasn¡¯t until Little Fiery had eaten more than half of the barbecued meat that it finally crawled to Feng Buhuo¡¯s feet feeling satisfied. Feng Buhuo looked at the dragon whelp that was sleeping after eating its fill, and his mouth twitched. How did this fellow eat barbecued meat that was even bigger than its body? But what made him feel gratified was that Little Fiery¡¯s loyalty status had once again increased by 1%. It was now 52%. ¡°Crack!¡± Right at this moment, the sound of an ore breaking could be heard by both Feng Buhuo and Joyce. The C-class source core had already become dull. It cracked and fell to the ground. Leng Hanyan slowly opened her eyes. The corners of her mouth were full of smiles. ¡°Buhuo, thank you so much!¡± Leng Hanyan stared at Feng Buhuo. Her eyes were filled with tears. She had been unable to break through her D-class status for many years. Now, with the help of Feng Buhuo, she finally advanced to C-class. This sudden happiness touched her beyond words. Of course, Buhuo Feng knew why she was so happy. Without a doubt, she had successfully broken through. ¡°Psychic¡¯s Name: Leng Hanyan¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Level: C-class¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Attributes: Special Ability¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Ability: Invisibility/Penetration¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Status: Excited/Agitated¡± ¡°Required materials: one B-class source core, success rate 70%; two C-class source cores, success rate 60%¡± His eyes could see through everything, but he knew that Leng Hanyan must want to express it herself. So he smiled and said, ¡°Hanyan, you¡¯ve levelled up. Have you awakened any new abilities?¡± ¡°Of course, this is a very magical ability. Do you want to see it?¡± Leng Hanyan narrowed her eyes and pretended to be mysterious. ¡°Of course, let us see it quickly.¡± Feng Buhuo pretended to be looking forward to it. Joyce was curious. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m looking forward to it!¡± ¡°Well, I shall let you all see it!¡± Leng Hanyan said with a bright smile.. Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Many people heard the commotion and gathered around. ¡°Hanyan, you¡¯ve levelled up to C-class?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s all thanks to the C-class source core given to me by Buhuo.¡± Hiss¡­ Everyone was shocked. A C-class source core was an extremely important reserve to them. They didn¡¯t expect that Feng Buhuo would give it to Leng Hanyan directly. However, most of them were happy for Leng Hanyan. Leng Hanyan was a good person. Moreover, Leng Hanyan¡¯s advancement meant that the Motie Survivor Base¡¯s strength will increase as well. ¡°Hanyan, didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to show us your new ability? Quickly, let us see it.¡± Leng Hanyan smiled and said, ¡°What are you all in a hurry for?¡± Immediately, someone said, ¡°Of course, you¡¯re a special ability psychic. We¡¯re curious about your new ability!¡± ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t keep us guessing.¡± Leng Hanyan looked over and saw that Feng Buhuo was also looking forward to it. She couldn¡¯t help but feel delighted. ¡°Alright, Little Fatty, come out for a moment.¡± ¡°Alright, what did Sister Hanyan call me for?¡± Hearing that, a slightly chubby young man walked out from the crowd. ¡°Aren¡¯t you an earth-elemental psychic? Quick, use your defensive skill.¡± ¡°Defensive skill? Sister Hanyan, your new ability is an offensive skill right?¡± ¡°Stop probing. If you want to see it, just do as I say.¡± Hanyan said with a mysterious expression. This made everyone look forward to it even more. ¡°Alright, Sister Hanyan, don¡¯t underestimate my earth-type defensive skill. Even that C-class transformation-type psychic that I fought with today couldn¡¯t break my defensive skill.¡± Little Fatty was a spell-type psychic, and his attribute was the earth element. He was very proud of his defensive skill. It could be said that none of his peers could break through his defense. Therefore, he was a little disdainful of Leng Hanyan¡¯s request. After all, Leng Hanyan wasn¡¯t an offensive-type psychic. However, Leng Hanyan¡¯s action made him even more curious, so he didn¡¯t decline. In an instant, the ground cracked open, and countless pieces of soil flew up and spun in the air. Everyone felt the ground shake, swaying left and right. They saw the pieces of soil collide with one another, pile up, compress together and eventually, became a wall of earth in front of Little Fatty. Little Fatty stood behind the wall and said with a smile, ¡°Sister Hanyan, if you can¡¯t do it, don¡¯t force yourself.¡± ¡°Hanyan, can you break through Little Fatty¡¯s defence wall?¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible. This is the strongest defense-type special ability among C-class psychics.¡± No one believed that Leng Hanyan could break through Little Fatty¡¯s defence wall. Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Little Fatty felt dignified. He was most satisfied with his defensive ability. Seeing this scene, Feng Buhuo secretly found it funny. Everyone thought that Leng Hanyan was going to break through this defence wall. If Leng Hanyan were to directly break through the wall, their jaws would probably drop. Haha! Leng Hanyan¡¯s lips curled up as she shouted, ¡°Then you¡¯ll have to wait and see!¡± The next moment, her body slammed into the wall. Everyone cried out in surprise again. What was the difference between this and suicide? Although this was just an earth wall, it had been forcefully compressed. The density of the earth wall was definitely beyond people¡¯s imagination. It was not an exaggeration to say that even a sharp blade would not be able to pierce through this earth wall. Her body was just an ordinary person¡¯s body. Crashing into it like this was no different from an egg hitting a rock. Everyone quickly closed their eyes and turned their faces away. They did not want to see the scene of Leng Hanyan being smashed into a bloody mess. ¡°Hanyan, don¡¯t!¡± Even Joyce blurted out. However, it was too late for him to make a move. However, in the next second, the expected collision sound did not come out. Everyone opened their eyes and saw a shocking scene. They saw that Leng Hanyan had already passed through the earth wall and stood in front of Little Fatty. The dagger in her hand was aimed directly at Little Fatty¡¯s chest. At this moment, Little Fatty¡¯s breathing stopped, and his eyes were as big as copper bells. He was filled with fear at the scene before him. He looked at Leng Hanyan as if he was looking at a ghost. Leng Hanyan had passed through his earth wall?! She did not encounter any obstruction, as if his earth wall did not exist! Complete silence! Leng Hanyan pulled her dagger back and said with a smile, ¡°What¡¯s wrong Little Fatty? Don¡¯t be scared by my ability.¡± Little Fatty quivered and quickly regained his composure. He stuttered, ¡°Sister Hanyan, is your new ability penetration?¡± ¡°Of course, as you can see, it is penetration.¡± ¡°How is it? Are you envious now?¡± Leng Hanyan raised her chin, her face full of pride. These words instantly caused everyone to cry out in surprise. Penetration?! As expected of a special ability psychic. Invisibility and penetration, what kind of an extraordinary combination was this? How could there be anyone in the world who could stop her? She was only C-class yet her ability was already so unexpected. What if she continued to advance? As expected of a special ability psychic. Everyone felt a little envious and jealous. They did not expect that a C-class source core could allow her to advance so much. Everyone¡¯s reactions also made Leng Hanyan very satisfied. She herself did not expect that the penetration effect would be so good. Smiling, she unconsciously walked toward Feng Buhuo. She knew that she was able to level up because of the source core that Feng Buhuo gave her. If not for Feng Buhuo¡¯s generosity, perhaps she would not know how long it would be before she had a chance to advance. Thinking of this, her gratitude toward Feng Buhuo increased. ¡°Buhuo, thank you,¡± Leng Hanyan said softly to Feng Buhuo. Feng Buhuo smiled and said, ¡°Well, Hanyan, this new ability of yours is suitable for you.¡± ¡°Yes, thanks to the source core you gave me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ve already said it. I¡¯m just returning the favor.¡± ¡°Anyway, Buhuo, thank you!¡± As Leng Hanyan said these words, her expression was solemn as she looked at Feng Buhuo with a burning gaze. Feng Buhuo was a little at a loss. He could only cough twice and nod casually. Leng Hanyan saw that Feng Buhuo seemed to be a little scared, and her pretty face suddenly blushed. Oh no, was she too direct? But his shy look was also quite cute¡­ Joyce looked at the intimate actions of the two and could not help but reveal a smile. He had always treated Leng Hanyan as his daughter. Now, he felt gratified when he saw that her abilities had increased. Moreover, the relationship between the two of them was not bad. With a powerhouse like Feng Buhuo in the base, there was nothing to be worried about. He could finally be more at ease. Everyone was happy for Leng Hanyan. They did not hear a rush of footsteps. Suddenly, several figures fell from the sky.. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Everyone was shocked when they saw the few figures that had landed. Could it be that other Marauders teams planned to attack during the night?! ¡°Be careful, prepare for defence!¡± Joyce was the first to react. With a stride, he stood in front to block everyone while giving out orders. When everyone heard the command, they quickly formed a defensive formation and vigilantly looked at the few black figures that had suddenly appeared. Leng Hanyan also unconsciously leaned towards Feng Buhuo. Perhaps even she did not realize that she had already developed a sense of dependence towards Feng Buhuo. ¡°Uncle Joyce, it¡¯s us. Why are you all so nervous?¡± Under everyone¡¯s nervous gazes, the leader of the black-clothed men took off his hat. A handsome face was revealed, and his age was about the same as Feng Buhuo¡¯s. The few men in black behind him also laughed loudly and took off their hats. ¡°Haha, we¡¯ve only been out for less than half a month, and you guys don¡¯t recognize us?¡± At this time, everyone finally saw the faces of the people who came. ¡°Abraham! You guys are finally back.¡±Joyce was instantly overjoyed. He quickly walked up and fiercely hugged him. ¡°Yes, leader, we¡¯re back.¡± Abraham patted Joyce¡¯s back. Abraham glanced around and found that there were fewer people on the base. He asked in puzzlement, ¡°Leader, did something happen? I saw the fire from afar just now. I thought you all had an accident.¡± Hearing this, Joyce¡¯s gaze suddenly dimmed and he sighed. ¡°Something did happen. The flames that you saw were used to incinerate the corpses!¡± With that, Joyce told them everything that had happened today. Before he could finish listening to Joyce¡¯s words, Abraham roared in rage, ¡°D**n it, it¡¯s those guys from Ice-Kill!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. Although I¡¯ve advanced to A-class, I still came back late.¡± ¡°Those people from Ice-Kill, you¡¯d better pray that you don¡¯t bump into me. Otherwise, I, Abraham, will destroy all of you!¡± Joyce was stunned. ¡°Abraham, you¡¯ve advanced to A-class?¡± Hearing this, Abraham¡¯s expression became a little proud. ¡°Yes, leader. I¡¯ve gained a lot from this trip. I¡¯ve also broken through to A-class.¡± Joyce was instantly overjoyed. ¡°Good, that¡¯s great! However, you don¡¯t need to worry about taking revenge. The Ice-Kill Pillage Group has already been eliminated.¡± ¡°Eliminated? How is that possible?¡± It was Abraham¡¯s turn to be shocked. Other than him, the strongest person in their base was the B-class summoner, Joyce. How could such a lineup destroy the Ice-Kill Pillage Group who were equipped with A-class abilities? He glanced at the people behind Joyce with confusion. Suddenly, he noticed that Leng Hanyan was not in the crowd. Could something have happened to Leng Hanyan? He asked nervously, ¡°Leader, where is Hanyan? Why is Hanyan missing?¡± ¡°No, Hanyan is doing very well. Not only did nothing happen to her, but her strength has increased just like yours!¡± Joyce smiled. Then, he pointed at a spot not far away and everyone made way for him. Abraham then saw Leng Hanyan who was behind the crowd. He naturally ignored Feng Buhuo who was beside Leng Hanyan. He walked quickly towards Leng Hanyan. Then he grasped Leng Hanyan¡¯s arm and scrutinized her at the same time. Leng Hanyan sidestepped Abraham¡¯s hand. She could not help but frown. Abraham¡¯s gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable. But he did not realize this. ¡°Hanyan, are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Leng Hanyan shook her head and said calmly. ¡°That¡¯s great. If something happens to you, I will not let those people from Ice-Kill off!¡± Abraham clenched his fist and snorted coldly. Leng Hanyan glanced at Feng Buhuo and said with a smile, ¡°With Buhuo around, what can happen to me?¡± ¡°Moreover, the people from Ice-Kill have already been eliminated by Buhuo. It¡¯s useless whether you let them off or not.¡± Abraham frowned. He had long gotten used to how nonchalant Leng Hanyan had been to him. However, this was the first time he had seen Hanyan show such an expression to a man. The man merely smiled calmly in response. It was only then that Abraham noticed Buhuo standing beside Hanyan. Feng Buhuo also sensed Abraham¡¯s unfriendly gaze. He knew Abraham, a B-class transformation-type psychic. But from what he said just now, he had advanced to A-class. Back then when he was bedridden, Leng Hanyan had taken good care of him. Abraham had mentioned that the base should not take him in as he was a burden to them. Later, Abraham had led a team out to search for resources, but there were still many people in the base who were close to him. For example, those who said that the base did not support idle people and wanted to chase him away. Abraham cast a sidelong glance at Feng Buhuo. ¡°Hanyan, what exactly is going on? Isn¡¯t Feng Buhuo just a useless¡­ ordinary person who did not awaken his special ability?¡± Leng Hanyan snorted and said leisurely, ¡°Buhuo is not an ordinary person. He has already awakened his special ability.¡± ¡°Now, he is already a summoner, and the one he summoned is a divine dragon! An S-class divine dragon! That¡¯s why he was able to easily destroy the Ice-Kill Pillage Group.¡± Divine dragon?! How was that possible? Abraham was stunned. Some of the black-clothed men behind him had the same expression. Seeing their reactions, the people in the base all laughed. Just the mention about the divine dragon and you guys are already scared to such an extent. If you were like us and saw the divine dragon with your own eyes, wouldn¡¯t you be scared to death? Abraham was even more confused when he saw everyone¡¯s reactions. Moreover, Feng Buhuo was also indifferent and didn¡¯t seem to care. From the looks of it, could it be that Leng Hanyan wasn¡¯t talking nonsense and that Feng Buhuo had summoned the divine dragon? Abraham felt as if his entire perception had been overturned. This fellow was still a bum half a month ago. He had used half a month to advance from B-class to A-class, thinking that he would be able to shock everyone. In the end, this Feng Buhuo had directly jumped up several levels and summoned an S-class divine dragon? How could he accept this? He hurriedly changed the topic, ¡°Oh right, Hanyan, I heard from the leader that you¡¯ve already advanced to C-class? This is something to congratulate.¡± ¡°Mm, it¡¯s all thanks to the source core that Buhuo gave me!¡± As she said this, Leng Hanyan turned to look at Feng Buhuo with a smile. Seeing this scene, Abraham¡¯s expression immediately turned extremely cold.. Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Abraham forced out a smile, but it was even uglier than crying. He sneered and said, ¡°C-class source core, where did Feng Buhuo get the source core? You know, source cores are hard to come by.¡± ¡°I got it from the Ice-Kill Pillage Group.¡± ¡°This is Buhuo¡¯s spoils from the battle but he still gave it to me.¡± Leng Hanyan tilted her head and smiled at Buhuo. Her beautiful eyes blinked. ¡°Buhuo, you¡¯re so kind.¡± Buhuo smiled. It was very obvious that Leng Hanyan was using him as a shield! In actuality, he did not have a good impression of Abraham. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s a small matter. You don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± Buhuo casually waved his hand. Seeing the interaction between the two, Abraham couldn¡¯t help but clench his fists. After a while, he squinted his eyes and said, ¡°Feng Buhuo, it seems that you are very impressive now. You even gave away such a precious thing as a source core.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Feng Buhuo answered indifferently. Feng Buhuo¡¯s cold attitude made Abraham very unhappy, but he still suppressed his anger and continued to ask. ¡°Oh? In that case, did you eliminate all the members of the Ice-Kill Pillage Group?¡± Feng Buhuo couldn¡¯t be bothered with Abraham¡¯s question and chose to ignore it. Joyce walked over at this time and patted Feng Buhuo¡¯s shoulder. ¡°This time, it was all thanks to Buhuo. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid we would have long been killed by the Ice-Kill Pillage Group.¡± ¡°Yeah, thanks to Buhuo, we can still live until now.¡± ¡°Not only that, but we also obtained a lot of resources. This is all thanks to Buhuo!¡± All of the survivors agreed and once again expressed their gratitude and admiration for Feng Buhuo. Upon hearing their words, Abraham¡¯s expression was as ugly as if he had eaten mud from a cesspit. What was going on? He had only been out for a short period, and now they were all siding with Feng Buhuo? He had originally been the number two figure in the base, and his strength was on par with Joyce¡¯s. The reason why he had not been able to become the leader was that he was not old enough. Now, he had been out for half a month and had finally successfully advanced to an A-class. He had originally thought that he would be able to take the opportunity to become the new leader after he returned. However, looking at how everyone was flattering Feng Buhuo, he knew that this matter was a little risky. An S-class dragon? If that was the case, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to compete with Feng Buhuo. However, he still couldn¡¯t believe it. Abraham suddenly smiled. ¡°Then I¡¯ll represent our Motie Survivor Base to express our gratitude to you.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Buhuo replied coldly, his face void of any expression. After being brought back to this base by Leng Hanyan, Abraham had always regarded Buhuo as trash. Therefore, Buhuo naturally did not have a good impression of this strongest young man in the base. ¡°Oh right, didn¡¯t you say that your summoned beast is a dragon? I¡¯m very curious about this mysterious creature, would it be possible to show it to me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary. Dragons are not monkeys in a circus. They are not something that anyone can see just because they want to.¡± Feng Buhuo replied indifferently. The fierce glint in Abraham¡¯s eyes disappeared, but he still forced a smile. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? It¡¯s just a few looks, there¡¯s nothing to lose.¡± This time, without waiting for Feng Buhuo to answer, Leng Hanyan said coldly, ¡°That¡¯s a dragon! Do you think it¡¯s an ordinary summoned beast? You make it sound so easy.¡± ¡°If you accidentally anger the dragon race, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t even be able to leave ashes behind!¡± Joyce and the others also agreed strongly about it, and one after another, they chimed in, ¡°Yes, Abraham, you mustn¡¯t be disrespectful to the dragon race. Otherwise, you¡¯ll invite danger to yourself.¡± ¡°If you anger the dragon race, even if you¡¯re an A-class, you won¡¯t be able to withstand its ball of fire!¡± ¡°Young people shouldn¡¯t be too curious. Curiosity will kill you.¡± A middle-aged man said to him. In short, everyone had the same understanding. You, Abraham, must never provoke Feng Buhuo and the dragon race! Abraham almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What was going on? He just wanted to see this so-called divine dragon! Why did it seem like everyone was against him?! But under everyone¡¯s pressure, he could only helplessly nod his head. However, the way he looked at Feng Buhuo was already filled with resentment. ¡­ Time passed quickly. After seizing the Marauders¡¯ resources, for a short period, the people in the base did not need to go out to search for resources. At least they had a relatively stable time. And the daily mission of Feng Buhuo was basically to play with the dragon whelp. Ever since the last time the dragon whelp ate barbecued meat and its loyalty status increased, Feng Buhuo would prepare good food for it every day. Just feeding it was not enough, sometimes it was necessary to play with it. Of course, Leng Hanyan also joined in. At first, she was still very afraid of the dragon whelp and did not dare to approach it. But after playing with it for a long time, she realized that this dragon whelp was not like the legendary high and almighty, cold-blooded and heartless creature. On the contrary, this dragon whelp was gluttonous, playful and sleepy. It also looked like a little puppy. It was simply a cute little pet! In the end, Leng Hanyan¡¯s maternal instinct overflowed and she could not resist it. And Feng Buhuo also found that after his persistent ¡°hard work¡±, the dragon whelp¡¯s loyalty gradually increased. Finally, it reached 55%! It was not easy! Feng Buhuo did not forget to make fun of himself. It would a long while for its loyalty status to increase by just a bit. He did not know when such days would come to an end! However, their actions were also noticed by people with ill intentions. ¡°Abraham, I think you have to be careful.¡± The one who spoke was a thin, bald man. Abraham frowned. ¡°Harlan, what do you mean?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed that during this period, Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan have been getting closer and closer?¡± Harlan snorted. ¡°Everyone in the base knows that you have feelings for Leng Hanyan, so no one dares to be too intimate with her.¡± ¡°But this Feng Buhuo spends every day with Leng Hanyan. It¡¯s obvious that he doesn¡¯t take you seriously.¡± Harlan suddenly revealed a sinister expression and said in a low voice, ¡°And now, the people in the base highly respect Feng Buhuo. I think Joyce likes him very much. If you don¡¯t do something about it, I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± Hearing this, Abraham¡¯s heart trembled. Thinking back to the times when he saw how the people in the base worshipped Feng Buhuo, Abraham was furious. Especially Leng Hanyan¡¯s attitude toward Feng Buhuo made him even more jealous and resentful. Of course, Abraham knew what Harlan was about to say next. No, I can¡¯t let this happen. The position of leader will be mine. Leng Hanyan can only be mine. Trash, you dare to challenge my authority? Just wait, I¡¯ll let you know how miserable your end will be! A cold light flashed across Abraham¡¯s eyes.. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Very quickly, a month has passed. Although the previous harvest was plentiful, it was almost used up now. ¡°To sit idle and eat¡± was the most foolish thing to do in this apocalyptic world. Therefore, when the resources were almost used up, the people at the base had to go out and search for new resources. On this day, all the survivors of the base gathered together again. Of course, the host of this gathering was the leader, Joyce. ¡°Everyone, the resources in the base are almost used up. We have to go out and search for resources.¡± ¡°This time, as usual, Abraham will lead the team to the Abyssal Forest.¡± ¡°D-class members, stay with me and guard the base.¡± No one objected to Joyce¡¯s words. That was because it had become a tradition. Although Joyce was the strongest person in the base, he had been seriously injured in the early years. It was said that he had mistakenly entered a forbidden area and was exposed to powerful radiation. His vitality began to decline rapidly, and it had never recovered after that. Although he was a B-class summoner, his vitality might be weaker than others in their seventies or eighties. Abraham had always been in charge of leading the search for supplies. Because of this, Abraham had always been the number two figure in the base, and his position was unshakable. Until the appearance of Buhuo gave him a sense of crisis. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll lead the search team this time.¡± Abraham nodded Then, he looked coldly at Buhuo. ¡°However, I suggest that Buhuo also follow our search team.¡± ¡°He¡¯s no longer a good-for-nothing who hasn¡¯t awakened his supernatural abilities. He can¡¯t possibly keep trying his luck in the city, right?¡± ¡°Buhuo, you can summon an S-class dragon, so you shouldn¡¯t be afraid, right?¡± Joyce was stunned. However, this was also a rule of the base. In this apocalyptic world, there were abandoned cities and deserts. However, some places were rich in resources. For example, there were the abyssal forests and demon swamps. In those places, one could gather wild fruits and hunt small animals. There were even some invaluable opportunities not to be missed. For example, some fruits with strange abilities, or some wild beasts with treasures all over them. However, most of these places were occupied by other races. Moreover, the richer the place was, the more dangerous it would be. In the past, D-class psychics mainly lived in abandoned cities. Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan were some examples of these D-class psychics. That was because the city would not have too many risks. Only psychics of level C-class and above could go to those places. Abraham, who was the strongest in the base, was naturally the captain. Joyce looked at Feng Buhuo and asked, ¡°Buhuo, what do you think?¡± He thought that with Feng Buhuo holding the line, even if they encountered some rare fierce beasts, nothing serious would happen. If he made a good move, they would end up with a great harvest! But he couldn¡¯t force Buhuo. Hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Feng Buhuo, waiting for his answer. ¡°Buhuo, the abyssal forest is still dangerous, if you¡­¡± Leng Hanyan whispered to him in his ear. However, Feng Buhuo waved his hand and interrupted her. ¡°Okay, I agree. This time, I will also go to the abyssal forest!¡± Buhuo said lightly. How could he miss such a good opportunity?! Little Fiery was about to run out of food. This time, he had to hunt for more animals to feed it. Moreover, this was a chance for him to further understand this world and obtain treasures! He knew that Abraham did not have any good intentions. However, he did not care. So what if he was an A-class? If he had evil intentions, Little Fiery could deal with him with just one fireball. After hearing Feng Buhuo¡¯s affirmative answer, everyone began to cheer loudly. ¡°With Buhuo around, we don¡¯t have to be afraid of Marauders or even rare fierce beasts!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This time, we will be able to return safely.¡± ¡°The important thing is that the harvest this time will be extremely rich!¡± Everyone was talking at once, thinking about the possible harvest. ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Joyce smiled as he watched this scene. Although he was coughing non-stop, he was extremely at ease. In the past, every time they were about to go out to search for resources, everyone was worried. But now that they had Buhuo, they became excited and expectant. This was the backbone, this was the power of a spiritual leader! In an instant, he felt that even if he died now, he didn¡¯t have to worry anymore. But Abraham, Harlan and the others didn¡¯t look too good. Especially for Abraham, he was the leader of the search party, but what was this now? Everyone was excitedly looking forward to this Buhuo and ignoring him! How could he endure this? Jealousy was like an avaricious tiger, crazily growing in Abraham¡¯s heart. He was about to say something, but Leng Hanyan spoke first. ¡°Leader, I also want to join the search party this time.¡± ¡°No, you can¡¯t go!¡± Abraham¡¯s immediately said, his expression changed for the worse. ¡°Why? I¡¯m a C-class psychic now. Why can¡¯t you let me go?¡± Hanyan¡¯s pretty eyebrows furrowed. ¡°Because¡­ because your special ability isn¡¯t offensive.¡± Abraham stammered, and could only come up with a ridiculous reason. After all, he couldn¡¯t tell everyone that he had other purposes besides searching for supplies. Leng Hanyan snorted coldly, ¡°What kind of logic is that? Although I¡¯m not an attack-type psychic, haven¡¯t you seen how powerful my skills are?¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless. If you meet with danger, you won¡¯t be able to protect yourself!¡± ¡°Humph! Even if I¡¯m in danger, I still have Buhuo. You don¡¯t need to worry about me!¡± After saying that, Leng Hanyan turned her head and looked at Feng Buhuo with her beautiful eyes, ¡°Buhuo, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Feng Buhuo smiled. Abraham¡¯s actions had let him know that there was something wrong. However, any scheme or trick was just a clown in front of absolute strength! Therefore, he took it as a tacit agreement. Well, let¡¯s see what tricks you can come up with. Abraham wanted to say more, but Joyce stopped him. ¡°Alright, Abraham, since Hanyan wants to see for herself, let her go with you.¡± ¡°Although her combat strength is not strong, her ability is special. She might be able to help you guys a lot.¡± ¡°Moreover, there¡¯s Buhuo and you.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Abraham¡¯s expression was extremely gloomy. Since Joyce had said so, he could not refute it anymore. However, if that was the case, his plan would have to be slightly altered. He narrowed his eyes and a cold glint flashed past. He had a plan in mind. Then, he sneaked a glance at Feng Buhuo. His gaze was filled with viciousness. Feng Buhuo, no matter what, you¡¯re dead this time! Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The abyssal forest. This was the destination of this search party. However, this was the territory of the beasts. In the depths of the dense forest, there were extremely powerful fierce beasts. Therefore, the group did not dare to enter the depths, and could only search at the periphery. Searching for resources was an extremely dangerous task. Originally, everyone would have held their breaths and constantly watched out for attacks by wild beasts. But because of Feng Buhuo, the backbone of their team, they did not feel as frightened as before. On the contrary, the group was very relaxed. Especially Leng Hanyan. First of all, she had never experienced the terror of the dense forest, so she was not afraid. Second, with Feng Buhuo by her side, she felt secure. So on the way, she was like looking at the scenery, constantly stirring up a topic with Feng Buhuo. ¡°Buhuo, what kind of fruit do you think this is?¡± In her hand was a purple fruit that she had just picked. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Feng Buhuo glanced at it before looking away. Leng Hanyan did not mind. ¡°It¡¯s really beautiful. I just don¡¯t know if it¡¯s edible.¡± ¡°You can try it.¡± ¡°Forget it. Who knows if it¡¯s poisonous or not?¡± Leng Hanyan shivered before putting the fruit into her pocket. She blinked and said playfully, ¡°I¡¯ll take it back to Uncle Joyce.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really good.¡± Feng Buhuo said resignedly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you try it first?¡± As Leng Hanyan said this, she was about to stuff the fruit into Feng Buhuo¡¯s mouth. Feng Buhuo quickly dodged it with a look of disdain. ¡°Haha, don¡¯t hide.¡± Leng Hanyan quickly chased after him with a smile. Seeing the two of them squabbling with each other, Abraham¡¯s teeth rattled with anger. The fingers of his fist were clenched tightly, and there was a crackling sound at the joints. His eyes were full of killing intent, his blood was surging and his whole body was burning with rage. He had nowhere to vent the fire of anger and jealousy in his chest. He knew that this fire would burn people to death. The one who will die was either Feng Buhuo or himself. He could no longer live together with Feng Buhuo in this world. Between the two of them, there can only be one standing! Abraham waved his hand, and Harlan, his lackey, hurriedly walked up. ¡°How¡¯s the arrangement going?¡± Abraham¡¯s tone gave people the feeling that he was drinking a glass of cold water in the middle of winter. It was cold on the outside but even colder on the inside! Harlan¡¯s lips curled up into a sinister smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything has been arranged properly. This time, Buhuo is doomed.¡± ¡°Mmm, very good.¡± Abraham nodded and continued to ask, ¡°By the way, you must be careful not to hurt Leng Hanyan.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let anything happen to her.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Abraham looked at Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan. At this moment, there was no longer any hysterical anger in his eyes. On the contrary, his eyes were very calm, like still water without waves. Because in his mind, Feng Buhuo was already a corpse. And Leng Hanyan would still be his person in the end. Laugh, laugh, Feng Buhuo. If you don¡¯t laugh, you might not have a chance. Hmph! The group had walked around the periphery of the abyssal forest for almost two hours. The strange thing was, they did not even spot a small animal. The abyssal forest was gloomy and quiet. Other than them, there seemed to be no other living things. A gust of cold wind blew, and the leaves made rustling sounds. In an instant, the group¡¯s hair stood on end. One person immediately cried out, ¡°Ah! How did this abyssal forest become so terrifying?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t panic. We¡¯ve been here many times, there won¡¯t be any problem.¡± ¡°But this is too strange. We¡¯ve been walking for so long, why haven¡¯t we seen any animal, not even a rabbit?¡± Little Fatty scratched his head, his face full of confusion. ¡°Yeah, by right, we should have caught dozens of prey by now.¡± ¡°I¡­ I suddenly have a bad feeling.¡± Little Fatty also nodded. ¡°Me too. Why don¡¯t we just go somewhere else, like the demon swamp or any other place?¡± ¡°This abyssal forest is gloomy and creepy!¡± For a moment, everyone was talking at once, but most of them wanted to leave already. This abyssal forest was really too strange, and there was a terrifying atmosphere everywhere. Anyway, as long as they obtained resources, there was no need to fight to the death in the forest. But Abraham refused sternly. What kind of joke was this? His plan had not been carried out yet. Today, no matter what, he was going to risk his life. How could he let it go just like that? ¡°No, only the abyssal forest is closest to our base. The other places are too far away, and the risk factor is too high.¡± ¡°Moreover, there is no prey on the periphery. We can take a few steps into the depths of the forest.¡± After Abraham finished speaking, Harlan also added to his words. ¡°That¡¯s right. Moreover, the resources in the depths are even more plentiful. This will be a good opportunity for us.¡± Although these words were true, who knew what kind of danger was in the depths of the forest? Little Fatty shook his head. ¡°No, the depths of the forest is too dangerous. We absolutely cannot go near.¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? Don¡¯t we have Buhuo¡¯s S-class dragon? Moreover, even if the dragon can¡¯t do it, there¡¯s still me right?¡± Abraham said with a mocking tone. ¡°Feng Buhuo, you¡¯re not afraid, right? Or are you just bragging about your summoned beast?¡± Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t even look at him. In the depths of the forest? He was looking forward to it. The more dangerous the place, the more treasures there would be. He wasn¡¯t afraid of danger. As long as he could encounter some treasures that could help Little Fiery advance! Seeing that Buhuo was ignoring him again, Abraham was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to suppress the rising fire in him. After concealing his anger, he coldly said, ¡°Look, Buhuo doesn¡¯t have any objections, what are you all afraid of?¡± ¡°Or perhaps, you don¡¯t trust him?¡± After saying this, no one knew what to say. Moreover, with Feng Buhuo around, there was no need to worry too much about the average fierce beasts. They couldn¡¯t dissuade Abraham, so they could only resign to fate. However, they all became more cautious, afraid that if they weren¡¯t careful, they would get into trouble. The deeper they went, the more uneasy Leng Hanyan felt. She also spoke much less, but she was going closer and closer to Buhuo. Feng Buhuo frowned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m a little scared!¡± Leng Hanyan shivered. ¡°What are you scared of? Weren¡¯t you full of fighting spirit before you came?¡± Leng Hanyan blushed and pouted without saying anything. Feng Buhuo did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he looked around carefully. ¡­ Everyone walked into the depths of the forest. Suddenly, they saw a footprint. ¡°Look, there¡¯s a row of footprints!¡± ¡°What a huge footprint, it should be some kind of giant beast.¡± ¡°Everyone, be careful!¡± The appearance of the row of footprints instantly caused everyone to explode with fear. It was as if a huge rock had been thrown onto the calm surface of the water.. Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio At the same time, at the outskirts of the forest. A group of people were following a row of chaotic footprints as they slowly entered the forest. These people were all wearing skeleton necklaces and grey robes. Each of them looked fierce and hideous. Even from a hundred meters away, one could feel the murderous aura emanating from their bodies. Two men stood in front of the group, one tall and one short. The tall one was burly, nearly two meters tall, and he had a dark bald head. There was a hideous scar on his face that extended from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. Just one glance was enough to make one shudder in fear. The short man beside him had shifty eyes and a crafty look. The shifty man followed closely behind him, his face full of smiles and flattery. But deep in his eyes, there was a deep fear. ¡°Master Bruce, why don¡¯t we speed up?¡± The shifty man asked tentatively. The burly man known as Bruce only smiled contemptuously when he heard this. ¡°Hardy, what are you in a hurry for? It¡¯s still far from sunset.¡± Hardy frowned. ¡°But if we accidentally lose track, we will be in trouble.¡± ¡°Hmph, isn¡¯t your master Abraham the leader of that team?¡± ¡°With the marks he left along the way, how could we lose him?¡± Bruce laughed like an evil ghost and said contemptuously, ¡°Speaking of which, Abraham is really a sinister viper, extremely shameless!¡± ¡°I have killed more people than him, but in terms of treacherousness and viciousness, I pale in comparison to Abraham.¡± ¡°At least, I won¡¯t bribe other Marauders to attack my people.¡± Hearing this, Hardy squinted his eyes, and a dangerous cold light flashed. He said coldly, ¡°Master Bruce, you aren¡¯t going to go back on your words and reject this deal, right? But Abraham paid a deposit of two C-class source cores. These are also very valuable to your Skeleton Pillage Group, right?¡± ¡°Moreover, Abraham promised that as long as you successfully kill that kid, all the resources obtained in this abyssal forest will be given to you.¡± Hearing Hardy¡¯s words, Bruce laughed loudly. His weird laughter made Hardy¡¯s heart beat faster. ¡°We, the Skeleton Pillage Group, have never cared about who we do business with. However, we will complete the business that we take on.¡± ¡°So don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t care what kind of person Abraham is.¡± ¡°However, if he dares to lie to me and doesn¡¯t hand over the promised resources to us after the matter is done, then the next one to die will definitely be him. Of course, that includes you!¡± Bruce¡¯s eyes narrowed, and his sharp gaze looked down. It was as if a huge mountain was forcefully pressing down on Hardy¡¯s body. Hardy only felt his body tremble, and a wave of fear rose from the bottom of his feet, instantly overwhelming him. At this moment, Hardy felt that he had been a little too reckless. If he really angered this Skeleton King, he would not care who you were. He would definitely kill you. Now that Abraham wasn¡¯t by his side, Hardy didn¡¯t have any ability to protect himself against this brutal A-class summoner. Hardy swallowed nervously and said slowly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. What Abraham promised you, he will do it. As long as we kill that guy and other opponents, Abraham will be able to sit back and relax.¡± ¡°But you have to be careful. I heard that that guy is also a summoner, and he can summon dragons.¡± ¡°Haha, dragons? How is that possible? Have you seen it with your own eyes?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t, but¡­¡± Bruce snorted angrily, ¡°No, then that¡¯s fake information. I¡¯ve never heard of anyone who can summon dragons.¡± ¡°Of course, if it¡¯s real, that¡¯s even better. My undead really wants to taste the blood of a dragon!¡± After saying that, Bruce took a mutated rabbit from his subordinate. The rabbit kept tossing and turning in his hand, as if it wanted to escape. But Bruce did not pay any attention to it. His big hand grabbed the rabbit¡¯s head. Then he stuffed it into his mouth and bit it. With a crack, the rabbit was cut in half at the waist and blood spurted out. Bruce chewed the rabbit meat in his mouth with relish. A few streaks of scarlet blood slid down from the corners of his mouth. But he closed his eyes and revealed an expression of paramount enjoyment. When Hardy saw this scene, his entire body shivered. To cooperate with such a person was tantamount to asking for the skin of a tiger. If they were not careful, they would be doomed. But they had no choice. If they wanted to kill Feng Buhuo without arousing the suspicion of the base, they had to rely on external forces. And the Skeleton Pillage Group was the best choice. Their plan was that Abraham would lead Feng Buhuo into the depths of the forest, and the Skeleton Pillage Group would follow closely behind. At night, they would suddenly attack and catch him off guard. In that case, Feng Buhuo would definitely die. His death could be blamed on the Skeleton Pillage Group. If the people from the base asked why they did not gather any resources, they could also blame the Skeleton Pillage Group. The original plan was for Abraham and the Skeleton Pillage Group to attack together. Other than Abraham¡¯s people, everyone else in the team would be eliminated. Therefore, Abraham strongly objected to Leng Hanyan joining the team. But now that Leng Hanyan had joined the team, they had to change their original plan. They could only launch a sneak attack in the dark. ¡­ The sky was completely dark. Buhuo and his team had already set up camp and lit a bonfire. Above the bonfire was a huge piece of barbecued meat. Everyone¡¯s face, which was illuminated by the light from the bonfire, was filled with smiles. Because this was a wild boar that weighed a thousand pounds. This afternoon, they had found the prey by following the tracks they had found. But it wasn¡¯t accurate to say that it was prey. Because when they found the wild boar, it was already dead. And this wild boar¡¯s death was extremely miserable, as if it had been bitten to death by some kind of fierce beast. However, no one seemed to want to delve into it. Under the great temptation of food, reason has been taken over by desire. Therefore, they were not concerned with other matters. Feng Buhuo sat in a corner of the crowd, his brows slightly furrowed. He felt a weird sensation about the events that happened today. There was not even a small animal outside the dense forest, and a huge wild boar had mysteriously died¡­ And he had the feeling that someone was following them. He glanced at Abraham in the distance. Was this all his doing? Abraham looked at these people and laughed coldly in his heart. Eat, this will be your last meal. After tonight, no one can threaten my position! No one realized that their firelight was like a coordinate. The Skeleton Pillage Group in the distance was targetting them like sharp arrows. Ready to go! Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Under the night sky, the fire spread far and wide. The aroma of roasted meat filled the night sky. They hadn¡¯t planned to start a fire because they were afraid that it would attract fierce beasts. But they hadn¡¯t tasted freshly roasted meat for a few days. In addition, Abraham was also urging them. He said that they had wandered around for a whole day and hadn¡¯t met a single ferocious beast, so they didn¡¯t have to worry about it. Everyone felt that it made sense, so they still couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of delicious food. So, in the end, they set up a bonfire and roasted the wild boar. They didn¡¯t know that this was part of Abraham¡¯s evil scheme. It was difficult to distinguish the footprints in the middle of the night. If they weren¡¯t careful, the Skeleton Pillage Group might lose them. However, now that a bonfire had been set up, it would alert them of their whereabouts even if they were a few kilometres away. He was paving the way for the members of the Skeleton Pillage Group! ¡­ ¡°Come, the roasted meat is ready. Everyone, hurry up and start eating!¡± Little Fatty shouted. As he spoke, he cut off two pieces of roasted meat. ¡°Little Fatty, that¡¯s not fair!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. How can you make the first move?¡± The other teammates also rushed forward, afraid of falling behind. Little Fatty held two pieces of hot roasted meat in his hands and rolled his eyes at them. ¡°What do you know? There has to be someone who gets the first bite, right?¡± ¡°Besides, do you think I¡¯m eating these two pieces of meat by myself?¡± ¡°I¡¯m cutting them for Buhuo and Hanyan!¡± After saying that, he put on a righteous expression, causing everyone to burst into laughter. He carried the roasted meat and walked quickly to the front of Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan. He chuckled. ¡°Buhuo, Hanyan, come, this is prepared for you.¡± Then, he passed a palm-sized piece of roasted meat to Leng Hanyan and another piece of roasted meat, that was bigger than his face, to Feng Buhuo. The two of them did not decline and accepted it directly. Leng Hanyan looked at the roasted meat in her hands and glanced at the piece of roasted meat that Feng Buhuo had. She was instantly unhappy. She pouted and said, ¡°Little Fatty, why is Buhuo¡¯s roasted meat so much bigger than mine?¡± ¡°Hmph, did you do it on purpose?¡± Little Fatty had a smug look on his face. ¡°Of course I did it on purpose.¡± ¡°You! Little Fatty, are you itching for a fight?¡± Leng Hanyan pretended to be fierce. If you did it on purpose, so be it. I won¡¯t blame you. But you should at least leave some face for me. Seeing this, Little Fatty quickly put on a fawning smile. ¡°Hanyan, don¡¯t be angry. Isn¡¯t it because Little Fiery likes meat? That¡¯s why I cut a bigger portion for Buhuo.¡± ¡°You eat first. If you still want some more, I¡¯ll cut it for you.¡± After hearing this, Leng Hanyan snorted and didn¡¯t say anything else. She couldn¡¯t refute his reasoning even if she wanted to. After all, she didn¡¯t dare to compete with the dragon whelp for food. Little Fatty saw that Leng Hanyan didn¡¯t argue further, so he looked at Feng Buhuo and said, ¡°Buhuo, quickly call Little Fiery out to eat.¡± ¡°Forget it. Little Fiery seems to be asleep. I can¡¯t wake it up even if I call it out.¡± Feng Buhuo shook his head helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s okay. When it¡¯s hungry, it will naturally wake up. You guys have to save more roasted meat for me.¡± Little Fatty quickly patted his chest and promised, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. I will save some roasted meat for Little Fiery.¡± ¡°Of course you won¡¯t give less. Otherwise, Little Fiery will come after you.¡± ¡°Even if Little Fiery doesn¡¯t come after you, we¡¯ll deal with you.¡± A group of people who were on good terms with Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan also gathered around. They all started to tease Little Fatty and then sat down around Feng Buhuo. The group chatted for a while and then recalled the strange things they had encountered today. Speaking of this, Little Fatty was furious. ¡°This Abraham is too domineering. On the way here today, he was the one who had the final say. He didn¡¯t consider our opinions at all.¡± ¡°Hmph, Abraham thinks he¡¯s the leader, we should all listen to his orders!¡± An older man was also dissatisfied. ¡°I think he has been coveting the position of leader for a long time. The leader¡¯s body is getting worse and worse. He probably won¡¯t be able to hold on for long. Abraham must be eyeing that position!¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do. He¡¯s the strongest person next to our leader. Now that he has advanced to A-class, other than Buhuo, no one in our base can fight against him.¡± Little Fatty sighed faintly. Feng Buhuo felt a little puzzled and quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the leader¡¯s body? Why did you say that he won¡¯t be able to hold on for long?¡± He was very grateful to Joyce, so when he suddenly heard about this, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little worried. Everyone looked at each other, then Little Fatty frowned and asked, ¡°Buhuo, do you know that the leader was once exposed to radiation?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve heard of it, but I don¡¯t know the exact details.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t know the exact details either, but the leader was certainly affected by the radiation and his body functions were severely reduced. His loss of vitality was even more noticeable.¡± ¡°Although he looked a little weak on the outside, his body had already aged to the point that he is on the brink of death.¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t appeared, once the leader dies, the position of the new leader of the base would go to Abraham!¡± Feng Buhuo¡¯s expression was a little solemn. This was also the first time he had heard of this secret. He did not expect that Joyce, who looked like a middle-aged uncle, would have such a body that was deteriorating in vitality. ¡°Then is there any way to restore the leader¡¯s body?¡± Feng Buhuo continued to ask. ¡°We¡¯ve tried many ways, but all of them have failed. Otherwise, Abraham wouldn¡¯t act so recklessly.¡± ¡°Although he¡¯s the leader of the search team now, he doesn¡¯t care for us at all.¡± ¡°If he becomes the leader in the future, he might become even worse. By that time, I¡¯m afraid that Motie Survivor Base will be in danger of falling apart.¡± Little Fatty sighed helplessly, and the people around him also sighed. They had never been Abraham¡¯s trusted aides. On the contrary, they were constantly suppressed by Abraham. Therefore, they all had some opinions about Abraham, but they usually didn¡¯t dare to show it. After all, if Abraham became the next leader of the base, then their days wouldn¡¯t be easy. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything hasn¡¯t reached the worst point yet.¡± Although Leng Hanyan agreed with them, she was not that pessimistic. ¡°Look, we have Buhuo now right?¡± These words were like a beam of light in the night, a fire torch in the snow, and they instantly lit up everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°That¡¯s right, we still have Buhuo.¡± Little Fatty nodded in agreement. ¡°Buhuo, as long as you participate in the campaign for the next leader, we will definitely support you.¡± ¡°Right, we will support you!¡± Everyone became excited. Feng Buhuo was a good person, and he was also strong. If they were under his leadership, the Motie Survivor Base would be more powerful and prosperous than before! Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Looking at everyone¡¯s eager gazes, Feng Buhuo shook his head indifferently. ¡°No, I¡¯m not interested in the position of leader. You should look for someone else.¡± His current goal was only to find enough resources to help the dragon whelp level up. He was not in the mood to care about other trivial matters. ¡°But apart from you, we don¡¯t have a better candidate!¡± Hearing Feng Buhuo¡¯s answer, everyone became anxious. Could a person like Feng Buhuo be found so easily? ¡°You¡¯ll find one eventually. For example, Hanyan is not bad.¡± Leng Hanyan was stunned, then she quickly waved her hand. ¡°No, no, no, I can¡¯t. My ability is too weak.¡± ¡°If you want to be a leader, it is not just dependant on your ability,¡± Feng Buhuo said with a smile. His meaning was very obvious. He didn¡¯t want to be the leader. Everyone understood his meaning and didn¡¯t force him. However, in their hearts, Leng Hanyan was still not strong enough. And Feng Buhuo was the best candidate! For a moment, they fell into silence again. However, everyone¡¯s expression was not very good, and they seemed to have a lot on their minds. On the other side of the camp, Abraham saw this scene, and his gaze was cold. Do you want to oppose me? Wishful thinking! You still don¡¯t know that you will all die here tonight! It was also time for that old man, Joyce, to abdicate and give up his position to someone else. Thinking of this, Abraham looked at the dark forest. His gaze was as sinister as a snake spitting its tongue. He could not wait to start a cruel slaughter! ¡­ On the side of Feng Buhuo, because of his adamant refusal, everyone fell into a kind of despondent mood. They did not want to force anyone, but they had no better choice. Feng Buhuo sighed and was about to say something. Suddenly, a deep and eerie horn sounded. This sound was much more terrifying than the howls of the wolves. Everyone¡¯s body shook and they stood up. They held weapons in their hands and looked around vigilantly. Some of their barbecued meat fell to the ground, but they did not have the mood to care about it. ¡°What, what is that sound?¡± Little Fatty swallowed his saliva nervously, his expression uptight. ¡°It¡¯s a wild beast, right?¡± ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s all Abraham¡¯s fault. If he did not insist on lighting the fire, we would not have attracted wild beasts.¡± Feng Buhuo frowned and said in a deep voice, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. Let¡¯s see what happens first. Don¡¯t scare yourself.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Everyone must remain calm now!¡± Leng Hanyan quickly echoed. Unlike them, Abraham¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation. This was the attack horn of the Skeleton Pillage Group. He couldn¡¯t be more familiar with it. Without a doubt, Bruce and the others had arrived! Was the massacre about to begin? He was so excited that he wanted to laugh out loud! In the next moment, a horrifying scream shook everyone. ¡°Ah! What is that?!¡± The scream came from a C-class psychic survivor. He was looking around vigilantly when he suddenly felt a chill on his feet. He quickly looked down and saw a creepy scene. A pair of dark green transparent hands reached out from the ground and grabbed his feet tightly. A chill of death instantly enveloped his entire body from his feet. This loud cry attracted everyone¡¯s attention. However, in the next moment, everyone couldn¡¯t help but take a few steps back. Their faces turned pale white and their bodies trembled non-stop. Fear was like a rising tide, permeating everywhere. ¡°This, this is the undead?!¡± Little Fatty had more knowledge on this and blurted out what he knew. Then, his expression changed drastically. ¡°Quick, catch him!¡± Before he could finish, his body had already pounced on every person whose feet were grabbed. But everyone was still immersed in fear and did not react fast enough. ¡°Ah!¡± The person whose feet were grabbed shouted. Little Fatty was still slower in the end. That pair of green hands suddenly exerted force. The person who was grabbed felt a huge force coming from under his feet, pulling him down to the ground. And before he could make any resistance, his mind went blank. With a ¡°plop¡± sound, that person completely disappeared into the ground. A large hole instantly appeared on the ground. And with a ¡°Bang¡±, Little Fatty fell to the ground. The sudden turn of events made everyone feel even more terrified. The words that Little Fatty had just said echoed in everyone¡¯s minds. ¡°Undead?!¡± ¡°Keke, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s the great undead!¡± It was a hoarse and cold voice. It pulled everyone back from their fear. In other words, it was changing from one kind of fear to another kind of fear. Everyone looked over and saw a group of fierce-looking people walking out from the dark and dense forest. The leader was a tall and sturdy man with a ferocious face and a skull necklace around his neck. Behind him was a group of people with different physical builds and terrifying appearances. Their faces were intimidating and filled with killing intent. Feng Buhuo narrowed his eyes slightly. These people gave him a dangerous feeling. ¡°It¡¯s you guys, the Skeleton Pillage Group!¡± Little Fatty cried out. ¡°You know us.¡± ¡°If you answer correctly, you will get a reward. A free ticket to Hell!¡± Bruce laughed out loud. The people behind him also laughed without restraint. They did not take Buhuo and the others seriously at all. To them, as long as they made a move, Buhuo and the others were destined to be doomed. If it wasn¡¯t because Abraham worried that some of them would escape, Bruce would have already made his move in the morning when they were at the outskirts of the dense forest. Hearing Bruce¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s hearts sank. They had long heard of the Skeleton Pillage Group. This was a notorious group, brutal and bloody! Their methods were inhumanly cruel. For those who got targeted by them, their outcome would be extremely miserable. Even the Ice-Kill Pillage Group paled in comparison to them. ¡°Let me introduce myself. I am the leader of the Skeleton Pillage Group, Bruce.¡± ¡°Our Skeleton Pillage Group¡¯s hobby is to hunt for prey!¡± Bruce laughed wildly. Abraham¡¯s expression was unfriendly. These guys were too slow-witted. His original intentions were to surprise the team and catch them off guard. He didn¡¯t expect the Skeleton Pillage Group to drag it out. Any delays would cause things to change. Thus, he quickly said coldly, ¡°I want to see how powerful your Skeleton Pillage Group is. You dare to target our Motie Base!¡± ¡°Humph, Motie Base? Die!¡± Bruce snorted coldly, his eyes bursting with cold light. Of course, he knew what Abraham meant. Since that was the case, then he would make his move. ¡°All of you, attack!¡± Bruce shouted and the dozens of subordinates behind him immediately attack with killing intent. Among them, there were psychics with various abilities. Some pounced fiercely, and their clothes were instantly shredded into pieces. The muscles all over their bodies swelled up and blue veins popped out. Their faces were completely unrecognizable, and their auras were incomparably fierce. Some were able to cast all sorts of spells. Their bodies were surrounded by flames and their feet stood on ice. However, the most terrifying ones were the summoners. They could be seen muttering to themselves. Then, the space around them began to distort. Blood-red skeletons, greyish-green zombies, fiery-yellow evil spirits¡­ All kinds of strange and horrifying undead instantly surrounded everyone. Feeling this elevated killing intent, Little Fatty and the others¡¯ were paralyzed with fear, their legs trembling non-stop. This was truly a hopeless situation! Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The members of the Skeleton Pillage Group instantly surrounded Feng Buhuo and the others. The distorted space was still rippling, and countless terrifying undead slowly walked out of the black hole. Some skeletons were emitting blood-red light and greyish-green zombies¡­ All sorts of strange lights intertwined with each other. The entire camp was filled with a bizarre atmosphere. It was as if they had accidentally strayed into Hell. ¡°Die!¡± Bruce shouted. The sky was filled with the laughter of the undead. ¡°Buhuo, be careful!¡± Leng Hanyan reminded him. Feng Buhuo nodded and said, ¡°Yes, you be careful too.¡± After he said that, Leng Hanyan¡¯s body disappeared. She had made her move, and everyone had made their move. For a moment, everyone was embroiled in a chaotic battle. Colourful spells flew in all directions, and all sorts of strange beasts collided with one another. Sharp, blade-like fangs, erratic ghosts and blade-like shadows intersected with each other¡­ It was an extremely tragic scene. It was also a night of endless wails. All sorts of mournful and tragic cries for help were endless. Blood gushed out like a fountain and broken limbs scattered all over the ground. Some people were torn into two halves by a monster that had transformed into a giant beast. The upper body was thrown out like a cannonball, hitting the other survivors. The lower body was directly thrown into the mouth of the giant beast and chewed in big mouthfuls. Some people were wrapped in flames and their whole bodies were burning. The flames burned slowly, but they could not be extinguished at all. Instead, it made people suffer an incomparably scorching pain. There were also some people whose necks were wrapped around by the chain thrown by the ghost. His lifeblood and his supernatural ability were transferred to the ghost through this strange chain. In the end, he turned into a shrivelled corpse. ¡­ These tragic scenes were playing at every corner of the camp. Feng Buhuo dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding one crisis after another. He desperately tried to summon Little Fiery. But Little Fiery did not appear. ¡°D**n it, is the submission rate still too low?¡± Feng Buhuo cursed in his heart. This Little Fiery was too much. After playing with it for so long, it had to feign ignorance at this crucial moment! Without Little Fiery, he could not go against the Skeleton Pillage Group head-on. He could only hide again. However, the Skeleton Pillage Group seemed to be paying special attention to him. No matter where he hid, he would be discovered in a moment. If not for his quick reaction and agile movements, he would have already fallen into their hands. ¡°Could it be that this is Abraham¡¯s scheme to finish me off?¡± Feng Buhuo suddenly felt that all of this was too coincidental. The Skeleton Pillage Group happened to appear at this time. Abraham happened to have ulterior motives. Thinking through all these coincidences, Feng Buhuo could not help but focus his attention on Abraham. He could see that he was fighting with one of the enemies. But his expression was calm. He did not have the slightest anxiety of being caught in a bitter battle. His opponent was not the leader of the Skeleton Pillage Group. Although Feng Buhuo couldn¡¯t tell his level, he could guess it. His opponent was not an A-class psychic. At most, he was a B-class! Was he evenly matched with a B-class psychic? Did Abraham exaggerate his ability or was he deliberately going easy on him? The answer was self-evident. Moreover, his lackeys were all safe and sound. Although each of them looked like they were in a tough battle, none of them was injured. Even without thinking, one could see what this meant. At this moment, a figure barged into Feng Buhuo¡¯s line of sight. Hardy! He was one of Abraham¡¯s most loyal lackeys! He hadn¡¯t seen this guy all day, yet this person suddenly appeared at this moment. So who exactly did he follow? Feng Buhuo sneered in his heart. Sure enough, this was Abraham¡¯s doing. It seemed that he would do anything to get rid of him! Feng Buhuo was thinking of a way to break the game, so he didn¡¯t notice that a chain, wrapped in dark yellow light and made several bends in the air, was aiming toward his back. ¡°Be careful!¡± A delicate voice shouted beside his ear, but no one was there. ¡°Dang!¡± A crisp sound was heard, and then Feng Buhuo suddenly looked back. He saw that Leng Hanyan¡¯s figure had already appeared. Her body was pressed against the ground and pushed back by the attack from the chain, but Feng Buhuo caught her. Leng Hanyan had blocked the chain just now. But she had taken this attack head-on and she had also suffered quite a bit of injury. Abraham had only been pretending to fight with one member of the Skeleton Pillage Group. He had been paying attention to everything that was happening in the camp. He had seen the scene of Leng Hanyan being knocked back by that attack. He punched the opponent in front of him, and then with a few leaps, he landed beside Feng Buhuo. ¡°Hanyan, are you alright?¡± Abraham looked anxious, wanting to grab Hanyan¡¯s hand. But Feng Buhuo slapped his hand away. ¡°Abraham, stop pretending.¡± Abraham¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Feng Buhuo, what did you say?!¡± ¡°What did I say? I said that you are the one who brought in the Skeleton Pillage Group!¡± Feng Buhuo snorted. Feng Buhuo¡¯s voice was full of energy and extremely loud. Everyone in the camp heard his words. They could not help but stop and look at Feng Buhuo in confusion. Abraham felt everyone¡¯s gaze and his heart could not help but tighten. However, there was no change of expression on his face. Instead, he sneered and said, ¡°Feng Buhuo, what nonsense are you talking about? Have you been scared silly?¡± The remaining survivors quickly gathered around Buhuo. ¡°Buhuo, you said that the Skeleton Pillage Group was lured here by Abraham?¡± Leng Hanyan was stunned. ¡°That¡¯s right, this is his doing!¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be, how could Abraham do such a vicious thing?¡± Little Fatty, who was covered in blood, was also in disbelief. Although he did not like Abraham¡¯s arrogance, he did not believe that Abraham would do such a heinous deed. ¡°Hmph, you see, no one will believe this. If you want to target me, you should find a better reason.¡± Abraham¡¯s face was as cold as ice, but his eyes flashed with a hint of pride. Even if you, Feng Buhuo, guessed it correctly, so what? No one would believe you. Tonight, you will die! The triumph in his eyes naturally did not escape Feng Buhuo¡¯s eyes. ¡°I think, you should be feeling proud of yourself right now. Do you feel that you did it flawlessly?¡± ¡°What a joke. If it¡¯s not true, no matter how many excuses you try to make, it won¡¯t be true!¡± Everyone looked at Feng Buhuo, wanting to know what kind of reason he would give. They knew that Feng Buhuo was not the kind of person who would deliberately frame others. Even if the other party was Abraham, who was not on good terms with him. They put their trust in him because they knew Feng Buhuo¡¯s character was honourable and upright. Therefore, they were eager to know why Feng Buhuo would say this. Was Abraham really a traitor?! Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Feng Buhuo did not have the habit of keeping people guessing. Since he had chosen to say it in public, it was to expose Abraham¡¯s ugly side. ¡°Let me ask you, only the people of the base know that we came to the jungle to hunt. How could these Marauders appear here so coincidentally?¡± ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s just a coincidence. What¡¯s so strange about this?¡± Abraham said with a shrug. Feng Buhuo continued, ¡°Then what¡¯s with your series of peculiar actions today?¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your persistence, we wouldn¡¯t have gone deep into the forest.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you urging everyone to start a bonfire, we wouldn¡¯t have been exposed in the dark.¡± Abraham pulled a long face. ¡°This is all a coincidence. You can say whatever you want, but you have no evidence!¡± ¡°Evidence? That would be Hardy who¡¯s right beside you!¡± Feng Buhuo shouted. ¡°Hardy has been missing ever since we set off today. Now, he suddenly appeared with the Skeleton Pillage Group.¡± ¡°So what exactly is going on, I don¡¯t need to elaborate further!¡± Hardy, who was suddenly called out Feng Buhuo, trembled in an instant. He did not expect Feng Buhuo to be so observant. If he had known earlier, he would have hidden, but now it was too late. Abraham was also stunned when he heard this. A moment later, the corners of his mouth slowly rose. He revealed a relaxed yet smug smirk. Since he could no longer pretend anymore, then he would just reveal his true colours! ¡°Clap Clap!¡± Abraham laughed coldly and clapped. His actions caused everyone¡¯s hearts to sink instantaneously, and they were filled with unease. Could it be that all of this was true? They saw Abraham reveal an extremely complacent and sinister expression. ¡°You trash, you¡¯re not as useless as I imagined. At least you still have some brains.¡± ¡°B*st*rd, it¡¯s really you!¡± Leng Hanyan¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened as she said through gritted teeth. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that you are not only arrogant, but you¡¯re also a sinister and evil person!¡± Little Fatty and the others also cursed in unison, ¡°Abraham, we didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯re a traitor of the base!¡± ¡°D**n it, Abraham, you¡¯re not a human, you¡¯re a devil, you¡¯re inhumane!¡± However, Abraham did not care about all kinds of curses. ¡°Shh, you can¡¯t blame me for this. If you want to blame, blame yourself for choosing the wrong person!¡± ¡°If you had chosen me instead of Feng Buhuo, you all wouldn¡¯t be meeting your end.¡± Harlan, who was behind him, also laughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. What¡¯s so good about Feng Buhuo? You have to choose him as the next leader of the base.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Only Abraham is worthy of leading us. Only Abraham is worthy of being the next leader of the base!¡± Hardy was also full of pride. He was Abraham¡¯s, right-hand man. If Abraham became the next leader of the base, his status would naturally rise! Little Fatty glanced at them disdainfully. ¡°Abraham, how can a cruel, treacherous and arrogant person like you be worthy of being the leader of the base?¡± ¡°Fortunately, none of us chose you. Otherwise, the Motie Survivor Base would have been destroyed under your hands.¡± These words immediately made Abraham¡¯s expression turn extremely ugly. ¡°Bullsh*t, this is called accommodating to circumstances, I¡¯m a strategist!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re all still as pedantic as Joyce struggling to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, then the Motie Survivor Base will be finished!¡± ¡°Only people like me, who have connections, ability and schemes, can lead everyone and survive in this terrifying post-apocalyptic world.¡± ¡°Let me tell you, I am not a traitor of the base. I am saving this base.¡± ¡°In this chaotic post-apocalyptic world, what can you accomplish with morality, loyalty and ethics? They are just bullsh*t!¡± ¡°If we still stick to the survivor¡¯s ways, we will eventually become sheep waiting to be slaughtered.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I chose to cooperate with the Marauders. There¡¯s no need to distinguish between the survivors and the Marauders so clearly. We can be survivors today and Marauders tomorrow. As long as we can survive, we should learn to adapt to any role!¡± At this point, Abraham suddenly looked at Bruce. ¡°Bruce, do you think I¡¯m right?¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t deny this. I¡¯ve always thought that plundering is the best way to survive in this world.¡± Bruce revealed a sinister smile. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing to have a partner like you.¡± Abraham turned to look at Feng Buhuo and the others. ¡°If I become the leader and work with the other Marauders, then our forces will become stronger. This will be a win-win situation, why not?¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Leng Hanyan was so angry that she couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. ¡°Working with the Marauders is like inviting a wolf into the house or drinking poison to quench thirst! You¡¯re a cruel person, so you want to make everyone cruel too!¡± ¡°Hanyan, you are wrong. Everyone has a cruel streak in them. In this chaotic world, they will become cruel too. I just want everyone to realize this faster.¡± Abraham opened his arms as if he was holding everything in them. He narrowed his eyes and kept making some weird moans. His facial features were all twisted together. It seemed like he was in pain, but it was more like taking pleasure in it. ¡°Hanyan, Hanyan, you are mine. You will be mine after all! As long as I become the leader, you will be the wife of the leader.¡± ¡°You want the power above all others? I can give it to you.¡± ¡°If you want food in abundance or precious source cores, I can give them to you.¡± ¡°As long as you come to my side and submit to me, you will have everything and become the envy of all women.¡± Feng Buhuo suddenly felt a chill. He did not expect that Abraham¡¯s imagination had reached such a crazy level. He had already fallen into a nightmare of desire and could not escape. ¡°Bah, dream on!¡± Leng Hanyan could not contain her anger. ¡°You¡¯re really disgusting. A person like you, no, you¡¯re not even human anymore.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a slave conquered by desire. You¡¯ve long been conquered by desire!¡± Abraham¡¯s suddenly froze on the spot. It was as if someone had taken a gong and struck it hard near his ear. It made his heart tremble. He looked at Leng Hanyan¡¯s gaze, but that gaze was cold-hard and filled with disgust. It was as if she was looking at a pile of dog shit. I, Abraham, am dog shit? I, Abraham, am dirty, smelly and disgusting? Ah! No! I, Abraham, am the true powerhouse, the leader of the human race. No one can despise me, no one can turn a blind eye to me! What right do you have, what right do you have! ¡°You must obey me! You must obey me!¡± Abraham shouted at the top of his lungs. He was like a vengeful spirit that had crawled out from the ground. His voice was extremely terrifying. His body twisted and turned, making cracking sounds. His eyes were bloodshot.. Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Abraham¡¯s body was twisted to an unimaginable degree. Spikes that were several feet long broke out from his back. His clothes and shoes were all ripped to pieces in an instant. His fingers turned into sharp claws and a tail full of spikes grew out of his bottom. His eyes had also changed from a round shape to an inverted triangle, occasionally emitting a faint blue light. His face had also become extremely ferocious, as if he was enduring extreme pain. The huge change that was happening to Abraham shocked everyone. This was the first time they had seen Abraham¡¯s transformation after advancing to A-class. It was a monster that was neither human nor beast! Not only did it look savage, but it was also extremely dangerous. At this moment, everyone had a thought in their minds. If they met such a guy, they might be torn into pieces in an instant! Feng Buhuo glanced at Abraham and the transparent virtual panel popped up again. ¡°Psychic¡¯s Name: Abraham¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Level: A-class¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Attribute: Shapeshifting (razorback lizard)¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Status: Anger/madness/savagery¡± ¡°Psychic¡¯s Weakness: Psychic/fire¡± ¡°Roar!¡± Abraham roared. The crazy airwaves shook the trees in the distance. Abraham clenched his sharp claws and revealed his sharp giant teeth. His face turned extremely crazy. ¡°This is my true power, the power that can dominate everything.¡± ¡°All of you have to pay the price for your ignorance, especially you, Feng Buhuo!¡± ¡°Feng Buhuo, don¡¯t you have the ability to summon the dragon race? Quickly, let me see the legendary dragon!¡± Bruce also laughed sinisterly. ¡°Dragon race? My undead has never drunk the blood of the dragon race. That should be delicious!¡± ¡°Abraham, don¡¯t fight with me. That will be the best food that I can use to raise the undead.¡± ¡°Hmph, what bullsh*t dragon race. It¡¯s just a stray dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.¡± Abraham curled the corners of his mouth and smiled contemptuously. ¡°Bruce, you must not let any of them escape, or else¡­¡± Bruce snorted coldly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. These little brats won¡¯t be able to escape from me even if they tried to escape!¡± ¡°Escape? We won¡¯t escape. We¡¯d rather die than be cowardly deserters!¡± Little Fatty shouted. Everyone knew that in this desperate situation, escaping was useless. Abraham had already shed all pretenses of cordiality, so he definitely wouldn¡¯t let them leave alive. No matter where they ran, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape their pursuit. And it wasn¡¯t like they didn¡¯t have a chance to turn the tables. They still had a chance, and of course, it was also their only chance. That was none other than Feng Buhuo¡¯s summoned beast, the dragon whelp Little Fiery. As long as Feng Buhuo successfully awakened Little Fiery and summoned it out. They would be able to turn the tides and escape! The only thing they could do now was to stall for time as much as possible. Stall for time for Feng Buhuo. ¡°Everyone, attack!¡± ¡°We have no way out. Today, either they die or we die!¡± Leng Hanyan shouted loudly. Her eyes were filled with anger and despair. But now, she had to toughen herself up. Their strongest combat ability was completely inferior to Abraham and his team. So, she had to take the initiative to confront Abraham. Although her combat strength was weak, she relied on the uniqueness of her ability. She was confident that she could contend with Abraham for a period of time. And what Feng Buhuo lacked the most right now was time! ¡°Abraham, your opponent is me!¡± ¡°Let me see if you are really as powerful as you boast!¡± After saying this, Leng Hanyan¡¯s figure instantly vanished from where she was. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re no match for me!¡± Abraham was full of disdain. ¡°In front of true power, all kinds of strange abilities are just small tricks!¡± With a kick, his body shot out like a cannonball and in the direction where Leng Hanyan disappeared. He would let her experience what power was. This power could protect her, but of course, it could also easily destroy her! If she didn¡¯t submit to his charm, then he would make her submit to power! ¡°Since Abraham has already made his move, then we should start to get serious.¡± ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s show them what we Marauders can do!¡± Bruce sneered and put on a high and mighty attitude. It was as if he was looking down on the poultry in the cage. Whoever he pointed at would die. ¡°Keke, I¡¯m going to enjoy this feast for real!¡± It was a guy who was surrounded by green flames. ¡°Hellfire, why don¡¯t we have a competition to see who can kill more people faster?¡± ¡°Humph, with that little zombie of yours, you can try!¡± These two guys were Bruce¡¯s right-hand men. One was a fire-type psychic and the other was a summoner who could summon demon corpses. As soon as Hellfire uttered the last two words, his body instantly turned into a flame. It shot out like a flamethrower. The scorching flame made the air in its path distorted. Then, it directly sucked in a distant survivor. A moment later, before the mournful wails could fade away, a rotten smell of burnt flesh instantly spread out. ¡°You old fellow, you¡¯re still so unruly.¡± ¡°Forget it, even if you make your move first, you won¡¯t be a match for my demon corpse.¡± He sneered and suddenly waved a white bone he was holding in his hand. A huge black hole that was several meters high appeared out of thin air. The space of the entire camp was distorted. ¡°Come out, demon corpse! Haha!¡± He laughed widely. In the next moment, a three to four meters tall demon corpse slowly stepped out of the black hole. This demon corpse was like a century-old withered tree in the dark. Its legs and hands were like iron pillars that were invulnerable to knives and spears. It was as if one strike from it could destroy a tall building. This demon corpse crashed into the crowd like a meteorite. It was like a fierce tiger barging into a flock of sheep. In an instant, the land was swarmed with victims from the disaster. Heads that were smashed into mush, internal organs that were crushed into juice¡­ All sorts of sadistic and cruel scenes were playing out. In just a moment, the number of survivors dropped drastically and was left with less than half. And those who died didn¡¯t even have a complete corpse left. Feng Buhuo looked at this one-sided massacre and he became extremely anxious. He kept trying to summon Little Fiery but to no avail. This situation had happened before. Normally, if Little Fiery wanted to eat and play, he would naturally appear again. But now, he couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He didn¡¯t have time! ¡°You¡¯ve disappointed me. I¡¯ve waited for you for so long, but you still haven¡¯t summoned the dragon race.¡± Bruce¡¯s gloomy voice suddenly sounded in Feng Buhuo¡¯s ears. Feng Buhuo suddenly raised his head and saw a huge skeleton floating in front of him. A fatal sense of danger instantly spread throughout his body.. Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio A thunder-like sound fell from the sky. Everyone raised their heads to look, but they were too horrified to say anything. Space was like a sponge, being twisted into a ball. A black hole that was more than ten meters high appeared. In the black hole, blue lightning bolts were floating. A faintly discernible powerful aura poured out from it. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but hold their breaths. This kind of aura was like the devil from the depths of Hell. It was filled with death, evil and terror. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled and a strange black gas was seen. Bruce was very satisfied with the survivors¡¯ reactions. This was the effect he wanted, a kind of terror that could make people immobilize with fear and not able to revolt against him. He wanted to use his strongest method. This was to finish off all the survivors as soon as possible. He could no longer bear the feeling of being entangled with this kind of ¡°ants¡±. He wanted to kill, he wanted to carry out a crazy massacre! Only in this way could he vent out all his anger. ¡°Undead knight, come out!¡± Bruce opened his arms wide and called out loudly. ¡°Ta ta ta!¡± The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard. A horse wearing blue iron armour slowly trotted out of the black hole. On the horse¡¯s back was a fellow wearing a dark blue robe and holding a scythe that was several meters long. The face under the hat was pitch black, only revealing two red cold lights. It was a face without facial features, without any expression. No one could tell what kind of face it was as if no one had ever seen a real evil spirit. And this seemed to be the true appearance of the evil spirit. Bruce said angrily to Feng Buhuo and Little Fatty, ¡°Have you seen real fear?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush, I¡¯ll let you know one by one.¡± ¡°Well, let¡¯s start with you, Little Fatty. Let¡¯s use your blood as a sacrifice to the blade for the undead knight!¡± Little Fatty felt his heart stop. A deep sense of powerlessness instantly enveloped him. A tall shadow suddenly appeared behind the undead knight who was standing in the air. The shadow holding the scythe suddenly fell, and a cold blue light cut through the air. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Little Fatty. From the moment the undead knight appeared, Little Fatty had been watching his every move. Therefore, as soon as Bruce said that, Little Fatty secretly gathered all the strength in his body. When the undead knight lashed out, an earth wall that was several meters thick instantly formed in front of Little Fatty. However, he still didn¡¯t expect the outcome. Even though he was extremely cautious, the difference in strength was so great that no matter what preparations he made, he still couldn¡¯t counter the attack. ¡°Bang!¡± The extremely thick earth wall was cut in half like beancurd. Following that, cracks spread out like a spider web. A light breeze blew past and the wall instantly broke down into pieces of mud and collapsed. Little Fatty knelt on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Little Fatty!¡± The people from the survivor base were all nervous when they saw Little Fatty being defeated in one strike. Many survivors rushed towards little fatty. They were also shocked by the strength of the undead knight. At this moment, they were truly in despair. They no longer dared to continue fighting. They only wanted to carry Little Fatty away and quickly escape. As for what would happen in the end, they couldn¡¯t care about it now. They only wanted to run! ¡°Hmph, a bunch of ants!¡± Bruce looked at the survivors swarming over with contempt. To him, there was no difference between an ant and a group of ants. They were all trash that could be eliminated with a flip of his hand. ¡°Whoosh.¡± A bright blade light slashed out. All the survivors who were rushing up immediately widened their eyes. Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. They immediately turned around to flee, but it was already too late. The blade light instantly passed through them. When the blade light was gone, they slowly lowered their heads. Only then did they realize that the lower half of their bodies were missing. Blood gushed out profusely. Then, their consciousness gradually blurred. Finally, they completely closed their eyes. ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve finally caught you!¡± Abraham was holding Leng Hanyan¡¯s neck, his face revealed a sinister smile. ¡°Cough! Cough!¡± Leng Hanyan was powerless to break free from Abraham¡¯s hand. Her face was pale and she couldn¡¯t stop coughing. The scene just now had distracted her for a moment and provided the opportunity for Abraham to locate and capture her. ¡°Hanyan!¡± Feng Buhuo was filled with anxiety. There weren¡¯t many survivors left now. Little Fatty was heavily injured and Leng Hanyan was captured by Abraham. What should he do? ¡°Hanyan, you should know by now that this Feng Buhuo is useless, right?¡± Abraham narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Leng Hanyan¡¯s neck and took a deep breath. ¡°You smell nice, Hanyan. If you submit to me now, I will still let you be the future leader¡¯s wife.¡± ¡°How? You should know who to choose, right?¡± Abraham was as cold as a poisonous snake. ¡°Let go of me, you will suffer retribution!¡± Hanyan¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Abraham. Abraham instantly flew into a rage and his anger escalated. He fiercely threw Hanyan away. Feng Buhuo was swift and managed to hold her up when she was about to fall to the ground. Looking at her weak body, Feng Buhuo turned extremely cold and gloomy. Abraham roared crazily at the two of them. ¡°Ignorant! You ignorant woman!¡± ¡°Why are you still so stubborn? Do you think that Feng Buhuo can save you?¡± ¡°Stop daydreaming. He¡¯s trash, trash who can¡¯t even summon!¡± ¡°Feng Buhuo, where¡¯s your dragon? Everyone says that you have an S-class divine dragon, but why are you still running around like a rat?¡± Bruce also sneered and said, ¡°Divine dragon? It¡¯s only just fake news.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s a real dragon, it can only crawl in front of my undead knight!¡± ¡°Hahahaha!¡± The members of the Skeleton Pillage Group all laughed impudently. There were only a dozen or so seriously injured survivors left. This was a game where the outcome was already known. The Skeleton Pillage Group surrounded the remaining survivors and looked down at them with a condescending gaze. They were relishing in the survivors¡¯ fear. It was as if they were admiring their masterpiece. Feng Buhuo clenched his fists tightly. A trace of blood seeped out of his fingernail-pierced palm. Anger, extreme anger, burned his body like a flame. Little Fiery, who had been in deep slumber, suddenly trembled. A bloodline connection told it that it should be enraged now. It could no longer sleep. It wanted to release its flame of anger! Unexpectedly, Feng Buhuo felt extremely at ease. He knew that Little Fiery had finally woken up. ¡°Hu!¡± Just as all the Marauders were excited, the space suddenly distorted. A huge black hole, which was dozens of meters high, appeared! Chapter 20 - Is This the Dragon You Summoned? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The entire space of the camp was distorted. A huge black hole hung down. It seemed to be devouring all the light source and miserable screams. A vast pressure spread out from the black hole. The Skeleton Pillage Group, who were arrogant and despotic a while ago, suddenly fell silent. Although they were contemptuous, they were not fools. The pressure that emanated from this black hole caused people to tremble all over and made them pay reverence to it. They did not know what kind of creature was inside the black hole. However, the aura that emanated from it was much stronger than their leader. It was several times stronger, or even multiple times stronger, than Bruce¡¯s undead knight! In front of such an existence, they did not dare to act rashly. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would attract the other party¡¯s attention and get themselves killed for no reason! Unlike the Skeleton Pillage Group, as well as Abraham and the others, who were shocked out of their wits, Leng Hanyan and the others were overjoyed. At this moment, all their uneasiness, fear and pain seemed to have disappeared. All that was left was the joy and excitement of surviving a disaster. So what if it was just a dragon whelp? It could kill all kinds of powerful enemies. Compared to the dragon race, evil spirits, demons and monsters could be annihilated with just a snap of the fingers. D*mn Abraham, d*mn the Skeleton Pillage Group! They had to pay the heavy price of blood and fire for what they had done! The Skeleton Pillage Group and Abraham¡¯s people stared at the black hole nervously. They could feel that as time passed, the pressure coming from the black hole became stronger and stronger. It even made them feel as if their hearts were about to explode. Even the zombies and the undead that they have summoned were all trembling non-stop. Under the countless gazes, there was finally some movement coming from the black hole. A small red claw suddenly stretched out. That claw was extremely small. Bruce felt that it was about the size of a finger. In the next moment, a round head also popped out. Following closely behind was its body, wings and a small tail. What was that? Was this a dog with wings? Could it be that this fellow was responsible for such a powerful pressure just now? In an instant, Bruce and the others felt their heads turn into mush. However, after a moment, they burst into laughter again. ¡°Haha, so this is your dragon, Feng Buhuo. I thought it was just a dog you raised.¡± Abraham¡¯s tone was full of ridicule. Bruce also shook his head and said disdainfully, ¡°It¡¯s disappointing. I thought the legendary dragon race was some huge creature that was a thousand feet tall. It turned out to be a dog.¡± ¡°I can easily crush a few of such dragons!¡± ¡°I can do it too. I can easily crush such a dragon with my bare fists!¡± ¡°Haha, I don¡¯t even need my hands. I can crush it with one finger!¡± ¡­ Everyone was laughing unscrupulously. They seemed to be extremely ashamed of their fear earlier on. So now, they were eager to use the pleasure of words to regain some face for themselves. ¡°Bah! You bunch of animals, you will see how terrifying the dragon whelp is later.¡± A survivor who was taken hostage spat out those words. These people were due to meet their end, yet they still dared to be so arrogant. ¡°I don¡¯t know if this so-called dragon whelp is scary, but you have to experience how terrifying we are first.¡± The one who spoke was Hellfire and his tone was extremely cold. In the next moment, a dark green flame covered the survivor¡¯s entire body. The survivor¡¯s expression changed. The temperature of this flame wasn¡¯t particularly high. However, it was a burning pain that was gradually spreading all over his body. Although his skin was burning, he could feel his internal organs, his brain and his consciousness were being burned by this strange flame. A pain that struck his soul continuously eroded him. His tears couldn¡¯t come out because they had already evaporated when they were still in his eyes. ¡°Ah!¡± An eminently shrill scream sounded in the depths of the forest, giving an eerie feel. Abraham laughed hideously and roared, ¡°Haha, Feng Buhuo, you¡¯re trash!¡± ¡°We¡¯re right in front of you, and we¡¯re torturing and killing your companion. But you are still so indifferent to it?¡± ¡°Is your dragon race too weak, or are you cold-blooded and heartless like us?¡± ¡°Or, you think he¡¯s not miserable enough!¡± As soon as he said this, Hellfire once again increased the intensity of the flames. The screams became even louder. However, this kind of scream was like music in the ears of Abraham and his minions. They cheered and laughed loudly with glee. Every single survivor was affected emotionally as they felt pain in their hearts. ¡°Ah Ming!¡± Little Fatty, Leng Hanyan and the others looked at this scene with anger. He was their companion, a very good companion. He was also someone who had taken care of Feng Buhuo in the past, even before Buhuo could summon the dragon whelp. He was warm-hearted, passionate and had a pure heart. He hoped that everyone would be able to survive this apocalypse and not be like his parents who had died tragically. Therefore, even though Feng Buhuo was only trash in everyone¡¯s eyes, he did not alienate him. But now, he had died just like that. If he had been killed like the others in one shot, perhaps Feng Buhuo and the others would not have felt so terrible. But now, they could only watch helplessly as the flames devoured him bit by bit. The pain of being unable to live or die was the most desperate and desolate. ¡°Little Fiery, go!¡± Feng Buhuo was beyond angry, and his tone was ice-cold. All the survivors looked at Little Fiery with anticipation. They knew that Ah Ming could not be saved. But they could not watch the Marauders humiliate and abuse him in front of them! However, Little Fiery only raised its proud head and watched everything quietly. As a proud and powerful dragon, it would not easily make a move, and it would not save an ordinary person for no reason. If it had not sensed the violent emotional fluctuations in Buhuo, it would still be in a deep sleep. ¡°Haha, Buhuo, you are trash. Not only did you summon a useless dog, but you also can¡¯t even summon this useless dog.¡± Abraham realized that Feng Buhuo wasn¡¯t completely useless. At the very least, he provided laughter to them. ¡°Little Fiery, as long as you destroy all of them, I¡¯ll give you as many pieces of barbecued meat as you want!¡± Feng Buhuo said calmly. Abraham¡¯s words didn¡¯t cause his emotions to fluctuate. When Little Fiery heard the word ¡°barbecued¡±, its eyes immediately lit up. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that it hadn¡¯t eaten barbecued meat these past few days, it wouldn¡¯t have fallen into a deep sleep. After all, it couldn¡¯t help but want to eat when it was awake! Moreover, it clearly understood what Abraham said. He said that I¡¯m a useless puppy? Hmph, watch how I turn you into barbecued meat! Chapter 21 - This Was a Dragon Whelp Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Abraham and the others continued to laugh without restraint. Barbecued meat?! This was the biggest joke of all. If it was the high and mighty dragon race, how could they be interested in barbecued meat? This Buhuo was still putting on an act. ¡°Roar!¡± Just when they wanted to completely destroy the remaining survivors¡¯ beliefs, Little Fiery roared. In an instant, an invisible sound wave spread out. Everyone felt the invasion of a strong wind. The strong wind made their faces contort, and the countless undead retreated one after another. They were like rabbits and pheasants, and the roar of a tiger made them tremble in fear. Hellfire slightly calmed down and questioned, ¡°This, this was from that dog?¡± ¡°Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a dog release such a strong force?¡± ¡°What if, what if it really is a dragon?¡± Someone asked. And then fear, like bacteria, rapidly infected every cell in their body. ¡°Bullsh*t, how could such a small dog be a dragon!¡± ¡°All of you, watch how my undead knight will cut up this little thing!¡± Bruce was furious. He didn¡¯t expect his subordinates to be scared out of their wits by such a roar. And now, as the leader, it was time for him to make his move. ¡°Undead knight, kill!¡± Bruce shouted. The undead knight in the air suddenly released a huge shadow. Then, the scythe was raised high above his head. At this moment, it was as if countless invisible air currents gathered on the blade. The blade suddenly fell. The world was suddenly illuminated by the light from the blade. Countless undead felt the power from the blade and retreated, trembling in fear. Bruce¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile. This was the undead knight¡¯s strongest slash. It was also a slash that could destroy the world. In order to raise the morale of the army, he decided to use his strongest technique. He believed that even an opponent of the same level as him would die under this slash. Not to mention such a tiny dog. Even Leng Hanyan and the others could not help but feel a little worried when they felt the aura of this slash. They knew how mighty the dragon whelp was. However, the power of this blade was beyond their imagination. This blade was like the gods and demons, possessing the power to split open mountains and seas. Would Little Fiery be able to withstand it? They couldn¡¯t help but break out in cold sweat. Only Feng Buhuo was able to remain expressionless. Little Fiery was a member of the dragon race! The dragon race was the most powerful creature in the world. If the legendary dragon race could be defeated so easily, they wouldn¡¯t be considered the most powerful creature in the world. If this blade could rival the might of God, then Little Fiery was completely on par with God! And the dragon race could even kill Gods! Little Fiery flapped its wings in the air as it looked at the blade. There was no change in expression on its face. ¡°Roar!¡± In the next moment, Little Fiery¡¯s aura suddenly changed. A tremendous and infinite pressure instantly spread out. Everything submitted to the pressure at this moment. Even the speed of the slash from the undead knight slowed down to a speed visible to the naked eye. Bruce looked at this scene in extreme fear. However, what happened next made him feel even more regretful. He saw a ball of extremely hot flame burning out of thin air. That¡¯s right, the flame was burning the air. It didn¡¯t need any medium, because it could burn everything. It burned seawater, the void and time. In an instant, this ball of flame engulfed the entire world. Everyone suddenly felt as if they were in a furnace. This kind of heat seemed to be able to pass through their skin and make their blood boil. Under everyone¡¯s terrified gazes, the endless flames instantly engulfed the slash of the undead knight. The slash of the undead knight landed in this sea of fire, like a drop of water falling into a pond. It did not cause the slightest ripple. The next moment, the flames ultimately consumed the undead knight. ¡°No, don¡¯t!¡± Bruce was scared out of his wits and spat out a mouthful of blood. The moment the undead knight was consumed, he suddenly felt that he had lost all connections with the latter. The undead knight was finished? He could no longer summon the undead knight? A chill instantly spread throughout his entire body. However, before he could react, it turned into an unbearable heat. However, the heat only lasted for a short moment. Because in the next moment, he had already turned into a pile of ashes. Ashes fluttering in the wind. ¡°Leader!¡± Seeing this scene, the members of the Skeleton Pillage Group almost knelt in terror. Their leader, an A-class summoner, was gone just like that? Turned into a pile of ashes? This was really a dragon! It was the supreme dragon race that could destroy the world! To them, it was also the god of death. It was a terrifying creature that could truly reap fear! Run! They had to run! They still wanted their bodies intact! Thus, the Skeleton Pillage Group and Abraham¡¯s subordinates retreated like the low-tides in the sea, they turned around and fled, scrambling for the lead, afraid that they would turn into a pile of ashes if they were not quick enough. Abraham stared blankly at the flames in the air. A while ago, he felt his scalp go numb. The dangerous aura of death made him unable to breathe. No, this was impossible. Feng Buhuo was just a piece of trash. How could he really summon the dragon race? How could he have such power? He couldn¡¯t believe it at all. Because if this was true, then everything he did seemed to be wishful thinking. He was the one being ridiculed! He looked around in fear and suddenly found that even his most trusted right-hand men, Harlan and Hardy, had abandoned him! For a moment, Abraham completely lost his mind. The feeling of being betrayed made him feel breathless. He disappeared from where he was and sprang towards Hardy like lightning. Hardy was running away like a rat. Suddenly, he felt a murderous intent coming toward him. Hardy subconsciously looked back. He saw a fist with bone spurs rapidly growing bigger in his eyes. An inconceivable fear instantly drowned him. He was loyal to Abraham, but why was Abraham treating him like this? But he had no chance to ask this question. In the next moment, Hardy let out a scream. His entire body was like a pile of mud, falling to the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t try to escape! Whoever escapes will be killed!¡± Abraham shouted hysterically. Abraham¡¯s paranoid and crazy appearance shocked everyone and they had to stop in their tracks. Then they saw Hardy¡¯s body lying on the ground. Who would have thought that Abraham would be so ruthless. They knew that Abraham was completely crazy. Only a madman would do something unimaginable.. Chapter 22 - Insanity, Kneeling and Begging for Mercy Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Looking at Abraham¡¯s ferocious appearance, everyone felt their scalps go numb. This guy was even more brutal than Bruce. He didn¡¯t care if you were one of his people or not, he wouldn¡¯t let you off, and he would attack mercilessly! Harlan was especially aware of this. He and Hardy were close like brothers. Since Abraham attacked Hardy, he would also attack him. Harlan believed that if he dared to escape, he would die an even more tragic death than Hardy. The Marauders were also shocked by Abraham¡¯s ruthlessness. He could be so cruel to his men, then he would definitely not show any mercy to them. At this moment, a wall of fire had been set up around them. There was still this dragon whelp eyeing them from the sky. Could they really escape? Since they could not escape, they could only fight with their lives on the line! ¡°Go, let¡¯s attack together! I don¡¯t believe that with so many of us, we still can¡¯t take care of a young dragon!¡± ¡°We are the Skeleton Pillage Group, we are the most powerful Marauders ever!¡± Someone shouted, and this instantly aroused the Marauders¡¯ anger. In a blink of an eye, a battle erupted with blazing flames, frozen ice and fierce lightning¡­ There were also spirits of the dead waving chains and werewolves with sharp fangs¡­ All sorts of strange and dazzling attacks were targetted at the dragon whelp. Feng Buhuo sneered and cold light burst out of his eyes. These guys didn¡¯t know their limits! All kinds of magic spells and strange attacks were blasted towards Little Fiery. In an instant, the night sky was filled with a myriad of colours. Abraham clenched his teeth and threw a punch. Facing a real dragon whelp, he also felt an incomprehensible fear. Therefore, he could only let anger take over his mind. He couldn¡¯t stop and he couldn¡¯t have the slightest bit of fear. Otherwise, his faith and ambition would be destroyed at this moment. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Avenge our leader!¡± ¡°B*stard, die!¡± When fear took over their minds, these shout-outs seemed to act like a protective umbrella to empower them. Although they could deceive themselves, the truth would let them know the price of stupidity. Little Fiery disdainfully glanced at the various attacks that came at it. It took one breath which rolled up from its stomach and then roared toward the sky. In an instant, a wall of fire that was hundreds of meters tall fell from the sky. The flames flowed like a waterfall with dazzling lights. It was like a natural phenomenon. Even if one was ten thousand meters away, they would still be shocked by this scene. The fire that fell from the sky was like torrential rain. It annihilated all the attacks, spells and the undead in an instant. The sky suddenly regained its clarity. The Marauders who had personally encountered this scene fell into an inescapable state of shock. They were caught off guard because of this. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them were killed or injured. The countless undead evaporated like water droplets when exposed to extreme heat. Many Marauders were reduced to ashes in an instant! Abraham was also severely injured by this attack. Just now when he sensed the threat of death, he had arched his body. That was because the bone spikes on his back were his best defence. In the end, he was licked by the extremely hot heavenly fire and after a short while, the bone spikes on his back were completely burned. His back was even charred and it was a terrible sight! ¡°Hmph, ignorant and arrogant guys!¡± Little Fatty looked at the scene before him and snorted. Leng Hanyan coughed twice. ¡°Serves them right, let Little Fiery burn them all to ashes!¡± ¡°Exactly, this is just the right time to avenge the loss of our companions!¡± ¡°These guys died just like that, it¡¯s too easy for them.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t wait for them to be tortured to death by the flames, just like¡­ Ah Ming.¡± At the mention of Ah Ming, everyone¡¯s eyes dimmed again. Feng Buhuo quietly stared at the Marauders who were swarming over. The scenes of his friends dying suddenly appeared in his mind. A tooth for a tooth and blood must be paid for with blood! Feng Buhuo turned towards Little Fiery and said, ¡°Little Fiery, I want you to burn them slowly!¡± Little Fiery paused in the air, indicating that it didn¡¯t quite understand what Feng Buhuo meant. However, it felt something inside. A feeling that it had to do as it was told. ¡°Roar!¡± In an instant, countless fireballs rained down like a meteor shower. The entire night sky was illuminated as if it was daytime. It was as if the end of the world has arrived and instantly drowned out the remaining Marauders. ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡± The fireballs struck the ground, instantly creating a large crater. The remaining Marauders were scared out of their wits and tried to hide. However, in the face of an all-pervasive and undiscriminating attack, all attempts to hide seemed unnecessary. None of the Marauders was able to escape or was able to resist the fireballs. Hellfire looked at the fireballs that fell from the sky and cursed while gnashing his teeth, ¡°D*mn it, I don¡¯t believe that my hellfire will lose to you!¡± Then, a ball of green flame lit up around his body and turned him into a burning man. With a kick of his legs, he shot to the sky like a cannonball to counter the fireball that fell from the sky. In the next moment, the fireball collided with the burning man and immediately caused sparks to fly in all directions. The crimson flames instantly swallowed the dark green hellfire. The entire body of Hellfire was wrapped in the crimson heavenly fire. The flames didn¡¯t turn him to ashes immediately. Instead, they were slowly burning him. His fats kept oozing out like sweat. Burning pain from the depths of his soul made him lose consciousness. He could only let out intermittent waves of shrill screams. The shrill screams and the crackling sounds of the flames intertwined. For a moment, the whole camp was like a real purgatory on Earth. After a long while, the flames turned into specks. Only the charred bodies seemed to be recounting the tragedy that had just occurred. Abraham curled up into a ball. His hair had been burned clean by the fire just now. The smell of the charred air made him feel a chill. Great fear overwhelmed him again. Death was not the most terrible thing. Facing death would trigger the survival instinct, and make people experience what fear is. Abraham was like this at the moment. Under the effect of fear, madness, cruelty and cold-bloodedness were all destroyed in an instant. The lost reason took over his brain again. He only wanted to live now, even if it was to linger on his last breath, even if he had to beg on his knees! Seeing that Feng Buhuo was walking towards him with the remaining survivors, Abraham¡¯s body trembled non-stop. Abraham stuttered, ¡°Feng Buhuo, please spare me. I will never go against you again.¡± ¡°How can a person like you be worthy of begging for my forgiveness?¡± Feng Buhuo¡¯s face was sombre. ¡°If you want to seek forgiveness, you should go and beg those who had lost their lives.¡± ¡°And I will send you to them now!¡± Just before he finished his sentence, Feng Buhuo had already raised a long sword and stabbed Abraham.. Chapter 23 - The Verdict of Feng Buhuo Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Feeling the chill from the sword, Abraham was terrified. He kowtowed crazily while wailing and begging for mercy. ¡°No, no, please don¡¯t kill me!¡± At this moment, Abraham was like a pathetic reptile. But Feng Buhuo did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for him. For such a ruthless, treacherous and vicious person, it was a sin to be soft-hearted. That was because they did not know how to reflect on their actions. Their begging for mercy was only a temporary compromise due to their lives being threatened. Moreover, if they let him go, how would they provide closure to the dead survivors? Hence, Feng Buhuo¡¯s did not hesitate at all. His goal was very clear. He wanted to kill Abraham. However, just as his sword was about to stab Abraham, Leng Hanyan suddenly stopped him. ¡°Buhuo, wait!¡± Feng Buhuo frowned, but the sword in his hand stopped. He turned to look at her. ¡°Hanyan, what are you doing?¡± The remaining survivors also looked at Leng Hanyan in confusion. They also wished for Abraham to die, but now Leng Hanyan stopped Feng Buhuo. Leng Hanyan slowly said, ¡°Abraham is indeed unforgivable and his crimes cannot be pardoned. I hate him to the core just like everyone else, so please rest assured that I will not protect him.¡± ¡°Then what are you doing?¡± Little Fatty scratched his head and asked. ¡°I think that since he has surrendered, we should bring him back to the base.¡± ¡°First, we can expose his crimes in public and let the people of the base publicly judge him. After all, the ones who died were our companions.¡± ¡°Secondly, we can also warn the other people of the base so that they won¡¯t be like Abraham who was blinded by desire.¡± ¡°Thirdly, Abraham was captured by Buhuo. Buhuo once again saved our lives. I believe that the other people in the base shouldn¡¯t have any objections to Buhuo being the next leader.¡± Everyone was enlightened by her words. Indeed, they could deal with Abraham directly and kill him on the spot now. But the other people in the base could only understand what had happened merely through their reports. If Abraham personally acknowledged his crimes in front of the people at the base, this will have a bigger impact. Moreover, there were many elders with higher prestige in the base If Buhuo could be recognised by them through this incident, then he would become the next leader! After a moment of silence, Little Fatty was the first to speak. ¡°I agree with Hanyan. What she said made sense. We should let Abraham go on public trial before killing him!¡± ¡°I agree as well. If that¡¯s the case, they won¡¯t be able to doubt Buhuo¡¯s capability to become the next leader.¡± Leng Hanyan nodded lightly. ¡°That¡¯s right. Buhuo is worthy of being the next successor.¡± ¡°So we must bring Abraham back and let him be judged by the others.¡± Abraham knelt on the ground, not daring to get up. Thinking back to not long ago, he was the leader of the search team. And before that, he was still the second-in-command in the base. He could decide the life and death of many people. He didn¡¯t even need to make the move himself. He only needed to say the word. Naturally, there would be many lackeys to help him settle the matter. But now, everything had been reversed. He was like a criminal on the death penalty. And the survivors were the adjudicators. Of course, the final decision lies in the hands of Feng Buhuo. He was surrounded and worshipped by everyone. As long as he said something, he could decide his life and death. However, he could only be on the ground and didn¡¯t even dare to say a word. A huge sense of loss instantly flooded his mind. Why? Why? Why did things turn out like this? He couldn¡¯t figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brain. But he couldn¡¯t care less about this. If they were going to put him on a public trial, then let it be. He just didn¡¯t want to die. Or rather, he wanted to delay his death as long as possible. As long as he wasn¡¯t dead, there was still hope. He could still turn the tables! Feng Buhuo naturally understood what everyone meant. He frowned and said in a deep voice, ¡°You all know that I don¡¯t like being the base leader.¡± ¡°But right now, you are the most suitable candidate to be the next base leader.¡± Leng Hanyan did not want to give up so easily. Little Fatty quickly said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Buhuo, no one is more suitable than you.¡± ¡°Buhuo, just promise us!¡± The remaining survivors all agreed. From their burning gazes, one could feel their sincerity. Seeing how genuine and forthright they were, Feng Buhuo did not feel right to refuse them again. He did not want to be the leader, but he did not want to hurt everyone¡¯s feelings. Feng Buhuo quickly waved his hand. ¡°We will discuss who to become the leader at a later time. We still have Uncle Joyce with us right.¡± ¡°But what Hanyan said makes sense. Abraham should be put on trial by everyone and let him confess to all his crimes in front of everyone!¡± ¡°Killing him with one shot would be letting him off easy!¡± ¡°Mm, you¡¯re right!¡± Leng Hanyan smiled brightly. When everyone heard Feng Buhuo¡¯s words, they were all overjoyed. Although he still did not agree to become the leader, he had finally relented in letting Abraham off for the time being. There might be a chance in the future. They believed that as long as Feng Buhuo became their next leader, the base would be able to recover their strength as soon as possible. It would be even stronger than before! After all, Buhuo could summon an S-class dragon. Compared to Joyce¡¯s B-class evil bull, it was a world of difference! For a moment, it was as if they had seen hope and their eyes were gleaming with optimism. Abraham¡¯s heart, which had been hanging in the air all this while, was now finally settled with Buhuo¡¯ s final decision. Although he still hadn¡¯t escaped death, he was lucky to be still alive. As long as he was given a chance, he might be able to escape! ¡­ The wild and cruel night had finally ended. The distant skyline also showed a hint of whiteness. A gust of wind blew from outside the dense forest. Ashes flew in the sky. The revolting and repugnant smell of burnt flesh did not disperse. Everyone just barely rested for a while. Everyone was in low spirits given that they had lost too many companions that night. And the remaining people were all exhausted and injured. Only Little Fiery was still in high spirits. Feng Buhuo fulfilled his promise and gave all of the leftover roasted wild boar to Little Fiery. Little Fiery didn¡¯t stand on ceremony either. With a whirlwind, it wiped out all of the roasted meat in no time. It was satisfied after that and returned to the summoning space. This made Feng Buhuo helpless. How did he end up with such a dragon whelp! It only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. It refused to appear until the moment of life and death! But fortunately, it was still very powerful. It easily annihilated all the Marauders. No, he had to quickly raise Little Fiery¡¯s submission rating! Chapter 24 - Leng Hanyans Thoughts Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The sun rose in the east and the sky turned bright. After a short rest, Feng Buhuo and the others had recovered some of their energy. The original camp was still filled with the nauseating smell. Therefore, Feng Buhuo and the others waited until daybreak before leaving. Fortunately, not long after they left, they found a water source. Although the water was not turbid, it was also not clean. It was mixed with a lot of mud and there seemed to be a bloody smell. However, in this apocalyptic world, any water source was considered precious. Especially after a night of chaotic battle. Everyone was thirsty and hungry. Therefore, when they saw this water source, they rushed forward one by one. Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t join in the crowd. Instead, he leaned against a big tree to rest. Although he closed his eyes and appeared to be resting, his mind was actually in a mess. The main problem was how to increase Little Fiery¡¯s servitude, as well as to find something that would help Feng Buhuo solve this problem. Providing Little Fiery with delicious food was a good and obvious method to increase his servitude. Therefore, the priority was to hunt some wild beasts as soon as possible. At least, Little Fiery¡¯s feeding couldn¡¯t be compromised. However, the strange thing was that they had been walking around the abyssal forest for a long time. Yet, they hadn¡¯t even met a single small animal. He couldn¡¯t help but feel perturbed. Normally, in such a large forest, besides small animals, there would surely be several large beasts roaming around. But they had not encountered a single one. Moreover, according to the legends, the abyssal forest was the territory of the orcs. They were creatures with a strong sense of territory. As long as other creatures invaded their territory, they would attack relentlessly until they were dead. However, the search team had made such a big commotion last night. In the end, they had not encountered any obstruction or danger today. This was even more strange. Feng Buhuo was frowning and thinking hard. A sweet voice sounded beside his ear. ¡°Buhuo, come, drink some water first.¡± Feng Buhuo opened his eyes. He saw Leng Hanyan using a huge leaf to hold some clear water. She was standing in front of him with a smile. This smile was as bright as the sun. When this ray of sunlight appeared, all the tiredness and uneasiness were gone. Feng Buhuo took the water that Leng Hanyan handed over. ¡°Thank you, Hanyan.¡± ¡°Why are you so polite to me?¡± Leng Hanyan directly sat down beside Feng Buhuo. ¡°Why can¡¯t I be polite to you?¡± Feng Buhuo drank a mouthful of water, then turned his head and asked with a smile. ¡°We¡­ We are already so familiar with each other, of course, there¡¯s no need to be too polite!¡± Leng Hanyan said righteously. Feng Buhuo continued to drink two more mouthfuls of water. To be honest, he was indeed a little thirsty. Leng Hanyan turned her head to look at him, her gaze seemingly fixed on Feng Buhuo. Feng Buhuo drank all the water. After putting down the leaf, Leng Hanyan looked at him with a burning gaze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something on my face?¡± Feng Buhuo asked in a daze. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then why are you staring at me?¡± ¡°I¡­ I am not!¡± Leng Hanyan quickly turned her head away, not daring to look again. But Feng Buhuo noticed that her pretty face seemed to have become a little rosy. ¡°Cough Cough.¡± Feng Buhuo coughed twice. ¡°Hanyan, how can this water be so clean?¡± ¡°Ah, it¡¯s because I helped you filter it.¡± When Leng Hanyan heard Feng Buhuo say that this water was clean, she was instantly delighted. ¡°How is it? Is It good?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s very good. I haven¡¯t drunk such sweet water for a long time!¡± Feng Buhuo praised her from the bottom of his heart. Leng Hanyan must have put in a lot of effort to get these few mouthfuls of clean water. It was difficult for her. ¡°As long as it¡¯s delicious.¡± Leng Hanyan narrowed her eyes and smiled, looking very pretty. ¡°Do you still want some more water? If it¡¯s not enough, I¡¯ll get more water for you.¡± ¡°Come, give me the leaf.¡± Seeing her like this, Feng Buhuo felt a little helpless. ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± ¡°No, this is what I should do.¡± Leng Hanyan¡¯s eyes were filled with determination. She still had a lot to say, but in the end, she didn¡¯t say it out loud. At this moment, in her eyes, Feng Buhuo was undoubtedly the next leader. She recalled that less than two months ago, he was just a guy lying on the side of the road, on the verge of death. After that, he was unable to awaken his special ability and became an incompetent person that everyone laughed at. But now, he had become the pillar of their team! Not only did he possess the ability to summon an extremely powerful S-class dragon, but he was also kind to others, and was reliable and charismatic. If that was the case, this trip had its merits. At least, they had a clear understanding of Abraham¡¯s character. They had also discovered a person who could truly become a leader. And he would lead their Motie Survivor Base towards a strong future! Leng Hanyan quietly observed the handsome side profile of Feng Buhuo. For a moment, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little dazed. At this time, the people who had drunk water gathered around again. They weren¡¯t thirsty now, but they were hungry. It turned out that the wild boar meat they had roasted last night had already been finished. The intense battle had directly destroyed most of the roasted meat. And all that was left had been wiped out by Little Fiery. But that wasn¡¯t all. Originally, the Skeleton Pillage Group should have brought with them a lot of resources. But most of them had been burned to ashes by Little Fiery. The remaining people who had been tortured to death by Little Fiery had nothing good on them! It was far inferior to the resources they had obtained after the Ice-Kill Pillage Group had been wiped out previously. In other words, they had worked for so long and sacrificed so many of their companions, but they ended up with nothing at all! ¡°F*ck! It¡¯s all because of this traitor!¡± Little Fatty could not suppress his anger and kick angrily at Abraham who was being tied up. ¡°Ouch!¡± Abraham was in pain and cried out like a wild beast. If it was in the past when Little Fatty saw Abraham, he would immediately lower his head in submission, never would he have thought of kicking him. But now, the tides have changed and whenever Little Fatty kicked him, Abraham would act pitifully. But Little Fatty didn¡¯t have the slightest bit of mercy. What this guy had done was unforgivable. ¡°Bah! You still have the face to beg for mercy?¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you, a traitor, how could we have fallen to such a state!¡± The others were also full of anger and they could only vent it on Abraham. For a while, the soles of their feet stomped onto him like raindrops falling. Abraham suffered burns from the battle and did not have a single piece of good skin on his body. As a result, he passed out in no time at all. Only then did everyone stop.. Chapter 25 - The Power of the Pillar Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Everyone vented their frustrations on Abraham. However, the problem was still not solved. Leng Hanyan was the first to say, ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need for us to waste any more time on Abraham.¡± ¡°The problem now is that we haven¡¯t obtained any resources.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t just return to the base like that. After all, the people in the base are waiting for us to bring back the resources.¡± ¡°But now that our team has suffered serious damage, whether we should continue to go deeper into the forest is a question that needs to be deliberated carefully.¡± ¡°Hanyan is right. The most important thing for us now is to gather resources.¡± Feng Buhuo continued, ¡°So, let¡¯s hear your opinions.¡± Unknowingly, Feng Buhuo had already become the leader of this team. If Feng Buhuo asked them to do something, they would do it subconsciously. Now that Feng Buhuo asked them to share their opinions, they began to think seriously. Everyone was silent for a moment. They were faced with a dilemma. Logically speaking, they should leave and go back to reorganize. This was a safer and more secure choice for them. But if they went back like this, the base would soon fall into a resource crisis. If there were insufficient resources, the base would be in turmoil. Supposing that they were attacked by foreign enemies, then the base would be in danger. Therefore, their decision now would not only influence their safety, but it would also affect the survival of the base! ¡°I think we should continue moving forward,¡± Little Fatty suddenly said. Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on him. Everyone knew that it took a lot of courage to say such words at this time. ¡°Little Fatty, continue.¡± Feng Buhuo gestured with his chin. Little Fatty nodded. ¡°Yes, everyone is aware that we are in a tight spot now.¡± ¡°We definitely can¡¯t return empty-handed!¡± ¡°However, if we continue to go deeper, we might encounter dangers that might be difficult to handle.¡± Someone questioned. ¡°There will be dangers, but this is also an opportunity.¡± Little Fatty saw that everyone was looking at each other, so he no longer kept them in suspense. ¡°We have Buhuo, so we don¡¯t need to worry about the dangers.¡± ¡°The most important thing is, if Buhuo leads us to obtain sufficient resources, then the people at the base will have no reason to object Buhuo.¡± ¡°After all, everyone understands the importance of the resources.¡± ¡°I see!¡± Everyone had a look of sudden realization. Little Fatty¡¯s reasoning was convincing. If they obtained sufficient resources under Buhuo¡¯s lead, not only would they save the base, this would also make Buhuo¡¯s position incomparably stable. After all, in this apocalyptic world, the most important thing would always be the resources! Leng Hanyan was an ardent supporter of Feng Buhuo, so she was the first to agree. ¡°Little Fatty is right. We should continue moving forward!¡± ¡°I agree as well.¡± ¡°I agree.¡± The vast majority of people agreed with Little Fatty¡¯s opinion. Only a few people were still conflicted. One of them was a transformation-type psychic by the name of Wolf. His superpower allowed him to transform into a magic wolf. Therefore, everyone was used to calling him Magic Wolf. He and Little Fatty were also very good friends. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Feng Buhuo. In the battle last night, he was one of the courageous people who fought with the enemies. Although he was only a C-class psychic, no fewer than three C-class Marauders had died at his hands! However, because of this, he was severely injured. Therefore, he didn¡¯t want to go any deeper, because no one knew what kind of danger there was. However, he couldn¡¯t say out loud that he wanted to quit. Therefore, he subconsciously turned his eyes to Feng Buhuo. Since he couldn¡¯t make the decision himself, he looked at Feng Buhuo. Whatever Feng Buhuo said, he would follow. Therefore, everyone¡¯s expectant eyes fell on Feng Buhuo again. Everyone was waiting for him to make his final decision. Feng Buhuo smiled helplessly. Of course, he planned to continue exploring further into the forest. However, it wasn¡¯t to consolidate his position. He had said many times that he wasn¡¯t interested in the position of leader. Instead, it was because he needed a lot of resources to nurture Little Fiery. Right now, he had to feed Little Fiery so that he could quickly raise its submission rate. This was because he didn¡¯t want Little Fiery to slowly appear at the critical moment of life and death again. Furthermore, the supplies this time were extremely important to Joyce and the others. No matter what, the Motie Survivor Base had taken him in for more than a month during his most difficult time. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. Thus, he didn¡¯t want to see the fall of the Motie Survivor Base. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t force anyone. He cleared his throat. ¡°I intend to continue going deeper. Of course, it¡¯s entirely voluntary. I won¡¯t force anyone.¡± ¡°After all, we don¡¯t know what dangers lie in the depths of the forest.¡± ¡°So now, let¡¯s make the final decision.¡± Feng Buhuo¡¯s reply was the final decision. Leng Hanyan, Little Fatty and the others naturally agreed with him. Wolf and the others who were originally hesitating also made the final decision. For some reason, when Feng Buhuo said that he wanted to continue moving forward, they didn¡¯t have any objections from the bottom of their hearts. It was as if this man could give them firm confidence. They gritted their teeth and made up their minds. ¡°If you want to go, then let¡¯s go together. We are not cowards!¡± ¡°Good, as expected of the people of our Motie Base!¡± Little Fatty laughed loudly. Feng Buhuo was also rather emotional. After experiencing the tragedy last night, everyone was still able to make such a decision. They were indeed warriors! Leng Hanyan secretly looked at the smiling Feng Buhuo. She knew that everyone was able to make this decision unanimously because of him. He had already become the pillar for everyone! ¡­ Everyone discussed for a while and without further ado, set on their way. They continued walking towards the depths of the forest. They were only in the middle region of the forest. After walking for another half a day, they finally reached the core area of the forest. Along the way, there was still no sign of any animals. Even the legendary overlord of the forest, the orcs, did not appear. ¡°What is going on? Why is it so quiet?¡± Little Fatty could not stand it any longer. ¡°Maybe¡­¡± Just as Leng Hanyan was about to speak, Feng Buhuo interrupted her. ¡°Shh! Listen carefully, there are sounds of fighting!¡± Everyone¡¯s bodies trembled, not daring to make the slightest movement. The next moment, as expected, they heard the sounds caught in the breeze. The sounds were coming from afar. Shouts of killing! Chapter 26 - Half-orcs and Elves Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The faint sounds of shouting and killing made everyone tremble. When the entire forest was immersed in silence, they felt eerie and strange. But when some of the sounds of killing returned, they became scared again. Feng Buhuo sensed that something was wrong with everyone. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. They¡¯re in the light and we¡¯re in the dark. Let¡¯s figure out the situation first.¡± ¡°Right, right, right. We must not panic.¡± Little Fatty exhaled twice before he calmed down a little. ¡°Look, there¡¯s a small hill over there!¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s not very high, it should be enough to scrutinize the situation nearby.¡± Leng Hanyan pointed at a hill not far away and said. ¡°Hanyan is right. Let¡¯s go.¡± Since Feng Buhuo had said so, the others did not have any objections. Therefore, the group carefully went up to the top of the hill. The closer they got to the hill, the clearer the shouting became. Feng Buhuo could already hear a lot of what they were saying. They did not sound like humans. But it was not very different from the human language. At least Feng Buhuo and the others could understand what they were talking about. Both confused and astonished, the group slowly climbed to the top of the hill. The next moment, when they looked down, they saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives. Hundreds and even thousands of orcs! Strictly speaking, they should be half-orcs. They were as tall as humans, but their muscles were extremely developed. They had slanted foreheads, protruding jawbones, distinct teeth and rough skin. All of these features indicate their bloodline to everyone. But the most important thing was that the half-orc tribe stretched far and beyond what the eye could see. Each of the half-orcs had extremely hideous scars on their bodies. The scars were on their heads, faces, chests and backs. They didn¡¯t seem to be afraid of displaying their scars in front of everyone. Instead, they held their heads high and showed their scars in front of their enemies. It was as their scars were their honour and their medal. And their enemies were a group of elves! They looked very similar to humans. They had pointy ears and fluffy, curly hair. They wore exquisite and noble clothes, and their bodies emitted a faint light. They all held longbows in their hands, but there weren¡¯t many arrows left in their quivers. However, among the elves, there was a female elf wearing emerald green clothes. She was different from the other elves, and she held a magic staff in her hands. Her every move seemed to be filled with elegance, intelligence and beauty. Without a doubt, she was the leader of this group of elves. But at this moment, the elves were at an obvious disadvantage. They only had a dozen or so companions left, and they were heavily surrounded by half-orcs. Perhaps if the half-orcs attacked again, they would be destroyed. Little Fatty and the others covered their mouths, afraid of making any noise. They didn¡¯t want to invite trouble. These two races weren¡¯t weaker than the human race. If they were accidentally targeted by them, they would be in big trouble! Feng Buhuo also quietly observed the development of the situation. He didn¡¯t know why, but he had a strange feeling. ¡­ At the bottom of the hill, the half-orcs and elves were nervously confronting each other. A huge half-orc that was almost two and a half meters tall walked forward from the group. ¡°Princess Connie, you¡¯d better hand over the thing.¡± This half-orc was not only huge, his voice was like rolling thunder. Feng Buhuo and the others could hear him clearly as if he was right beside them. ¡°Now that you are surrounded, there is absolutely no hope of escaping.¡± ¡°If you return the thing to us obediently, I might consider letting you live.¡± ¡°Otherwise, you know that we orcs hate you elves the most. If you fall into our hands, I don¡¯t need to remind you what kind of torture you will suffer!¡± ¡°Think about your dead companions. Be smart.¡± The huge half-orc released his hand and the mace in his hand fell to the ground with a loud thump. A few visible cracks appeared on the ground. The half-orc leaned on the handle of the mace with both hands. It was obvious how heavy the mace was. The half-orcs behind him started to scream wildly when they heard this. At the same time, they waved the weapons in their hands. There were knives, long sticks, whips and axes. Madness, brutality and disorder. These were words that would appear in anyone¡¯s mind when they saw this scene. The elf, known as Princess Connie, also walked slowly to the front of the group of elves. The elves behind her all nocked their bows and arrows, vigilantly staring at the half-orcs around them. They did not dare to put their guards down given the situation at present. Otherwise, they might not even know how they had died. Thinking of their dead companions, these elves couldn¡¯t help but tremble. It was too cruel and too bloody! Princess Connie was also at a loss. She concealed her panic and was calm and composed, a stance that an elf princess should maintain at all times. Her gaze was cold and her face was prideful as she spoke. It was so natural, and it made people believe that she was high and mighty. A pleasant voice slowly flowed out like a stream. ¡°Andrew, why are you so hypocritical?¡± ¡°We all know that the half-orcs and the elves are mortal enemies.¡± ¡°Even if we return the thing to you, you won¡¯t let us go.¡± ¡°Everything is just part of your delaying tactic.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just worried that I¡¯ll destroy this thing in a moment of desperation.¡± Her voice was extremely cold, but her words were clear and eloquent. In terms of imposing manner, she was no weaker than the half-orc known as Andrew. Seeing that his thoughts were exposed, Andrew was not angry. Instead, he sneered and said, ¡°Princess Connie, sometimes, it¡¯s not a good thing to be too smart.¡± ¡°For example, right now, you could have deceived yourself. At least you didn¡¯t have to be so desperate.¡± ¡°But now that you¡¯ve told the truth, won¡¯t your subordinates fall victim to the fear of facing death?¡± ¡°Alright, cut the crap. Quickly return to me the thing you have stolen, and then go accompany your dead companions.¡± Andrew snorted. His tone was so domineering that it seemed impossible for others to refute him. Connie¡¯s expression instantly became extremely ugly. ¡°Return it to you? This thing originally belongs to us, the elves!¡± ¡°If you didn¡¯t take over our forest back then, how did this thing fall into your hands?¡± ¡°I¡¯m its master, it¡¯s only natural for me to take it back!¡± ¡°Hmph, as you know, it was because you elves couldn¡¯t defeat us half-orcs, that¡¯s why all of you had fled.¡± Andrew¡¯s gaze was contemptuous. ¡°This thing naturally became our spoils of war, what does it have to do with you elves?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve forgotten the cruel lesson from that war!¡± So that was it! Feng Buhuo suddenly understood. So the abyssal forest was actually the territory of the elves in the past. But later, it was forcibly occupied by the half-orcs. But now, the elves seemed to have taken back a certain treasure. It was just that they were accidentally discovered by the half-orcs. Which led to the half-orcs chasing after them. Now, there were only about ten elves left. One of them was an elf princess, Connie.. Chapter 27 - An Unyielding Confrontation Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Feng Buhuo was secretly puzzled. A treasure that could make both half-orcs and elves pay so much attention to it must be something extraordinary. But what could it be? In an instant, Feng Buhuo suddenly had a premonition. This treasure was also very important to him. Little Fatty and the others were also very baffled. They also had the same thoughts as Feng Buhuo. Therefore, they were also very curious about the thing that both sides were talking about. These guys were too much. What exactly was it? Couldn¡¯t they just say it directly? But they just had to say that ¡°thing¡±. Who knew what exactly it was? It was frustrating. Abraham had already woken up at this time. He had clearly seen everything that happened at the foot of the hill. Thousands of half-orcs, this was a huge group! To put it bluntly, if this team were to attack the Motie Survivor Base, the entire base would be wiped out in just a few minutes! If they attacked Feng Buhuo and his team, then¡­ The corners of Abraham¡¯s mouth lifted slightly. He smiled and thought to himself, ¡°Half-orcs, you guys are my saviours!¡± A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes. But of course, Feng Buhuo and the rest did not notice it. Their gazes were all fixed on the two opposing sides at the bottom of the hill. ¡°Princess Connie, why are you still hesitating?¡± Andrew opened his bloody mouth, his sharp teeth gave off a chilling light. ¡°Hurry up and hand over the thing, you elves have no way out.¡± Connie bit her thin lips with her white teeth and a trace of blood oozed out. But she did not pay any attention to it. Instead, she continued to keep a straight face and said coldly, ¡°Andrew we can make a deal.¡± ¡°This thing is really important to us elves.¡± ¡°If you can let us go and allow us to take back the thing, in return, we will give you an unimaginable amount of material compensation.¡± ¡°Princess Connie, I was just praising you for being smart, why would you say such a foolish thing now?¡± Andrew shook his head with a cold smile. ¡°The relationship between our two races is that of mortal enemies. We will not rest until one of us dies.¡± ¡°If you get this thing, not only will you not give us any material compensation, you might even invade us half-orcs again.¡± ¡°Besides, if we kill you, the princess of the elves, your race will lose the most powerful healing mage, and the combat power of your army will be greatly reduced.¡± ¡°How could I let the tiger return to the mountain and give you the chance to create trouble for me in the future?¡± Hearing this, Princess Connie was completely in despair. Although the half-orcs were all brawn, this doesn¡¯t mean that they lacked brains. Ordinary tactics wouldn¡¯t be able to fool them. Most importantly, the elves and the half-orcs had a long history with each other. The two sides had always been at war. They had long accumulated a deep hatred that couldn¡¯t be resolved. It would be wishful thinking to beg the half-orcs to show mercy. But what could they do now? The remaining ten or so elves weren¡¯t enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of these guys. However, she absolutely could not return this thing. This thing was extremely important to her. As long as she had this thing, her younger brother, who was a prince, could increase his power by two more levels. By that time, the elven throne would be his! And she no longer had to worry about being schemed against by the other princes. Now that she had succeeded in getting the thing, there was no reason to return it! ¡°Andrew, it seems that you have made up your mind to keep us here?¡± Princess Connie said angrily. ¡°How many of your elves have been buried in this abyssal forest.¡± ¡°You dying here can be considered as accompanying your ancestors. It¡¯s a good thing.¡± Andrew said. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯d rather destroy this thing than return it to you!¡± Princess Connie shouted. Andrew¡¯s focused his gaze and his face turned grim. ¡°You can try!¡± ¡°Do you think I won¡¯t dare?¡± Princess Connie reached into her arms and was about to take out something. But at this moment, there was a sudden turn of events. A few half-orcs suddenly attacked, catching the elves off guard. The elves didn¡¯t expect this at all. When they saw the knives and axes coming at them from the dark like poisonous snakes, it was already too late. The elves hurriedly raised the longbow in their hands, but at the moment of contact, the longbow was cut in half. The knives and axes that were coming at them didn¡¯t stop at all. A fierce wind blew against their faces. In an instant, their bodies were split into two. The elves didn¡¯t even have time to scream. Their bodies turned into specks of light and disappeared. Princess Connie was dumbfounded. The sudden attack was like a heavy blow to her head. In an instant, she became desperate and bewildered. It was as if she couldn¡¯t believe what had happened. ¡°Princess Connie, this is the price that you have to pay for threatening me!¡± Andrew laughed without any restraint. But Princess Connie did not seem to hear what he said. The remaining elves were also trembling in fear. Just right before their eyes, in that short moment, they had lost a few companions. The brutality of the half-orcs was no different from that of wild beasts. Thinking about the tragic deaths of their companions, the remaining elves all turned pale. Despair spread like a spider web, and they were like moths trapped in this web. They were completely powerless to break free. Why was God so unfair? Was our faction destined to be the victims? Princess Connie laughed self-deprecatingly. It was as if she had fallen into despair after losing everything. ¡°What we can¡¯t get, you can¡¯t get either!¡± She gritted her silver teeth, her eyes burning with anger. Perhaps, once the half-orcs attacked again, they would immediately become corpses. So everything was no longer important. The only thing she needed to do now was to destroy this thing. At this moment, a loud shout came from the top of the hill. ¡°Ah!¡± Feng Buhuo was the first to react. This voice seemed to be right beside his ear. It was so piercing that it hurt his eardrum. He turned his head to look. He didn¡¯t know when Abraham had woken up. Abraham was now opening his mouth and shouting. Feng Buhuo immediately understood his intention. He wanted to lure the half-orcs to besiege their group. Then, he would use this opportunity to escape. How despicable! He should have stuffed something into his mouth. But now was not the time to lament about it. He hurriedly kicked him. ¡°Bang!¡± With a bang, the scream stopped abruptly. Abraham¡¯s head shook, and he passed out again. But it was still too late. Little Fatty and the others were startled by the scream. Then, when they looked down the hill, they saw a terrifying scene. They saw the half-orcs looking over. Their eyes were fierce and unfriendly. They were staring intently at the top of the hill. In an instant, Little Fatty and the others felt like they were exposed. The group was scared stiff. The worst thing was that two of the team members couldn¡¯t hold it any longer and jumped up. Then, they turned around and ran away, yelling. Feng Buhuo¡¯s expression instantly darkened. If they jumped out now, wouldn¡¯t that be the same as becoming their target? As expected, the half-orcs were unaware of the situation at first and only stared vigilantly at the top of the hill. Seeing the two who jumped up, their expressions instantly changed. Humans, they were actually humans! This was also one of the races that they hated the most, and they have the guts to venture deep into the abyssal forest. What audacity! Chapter 28 - Exposed, Reactions from all Sides Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Andrew saw the sudden appearance of the humans on top of the hill. He was instantly enraged. What was going on? They already had these elves sneaking into their territory and stealing their treasures. Now, even the humans were acting so boldly and wantonly. What, did they look down on the half-orcs? For a moment, Andrew felt that he had suffered great humiliation. ¡°Warriors, charge! Let this group of perpetrators witness the mighty strength of us orcs!¡± Andrew waved the mace in his hand and pointed at the hill where Buhuo and the others were hiding. The thousands of half-orcs behind him instantly gave out strange and horrifying cries. They jumped left and right, holding all kinds of weapons. They charged at Buhuo and the others with bared fangs and brandished claws. The sudden turn of events surprised Princess Connie and the rest of the elves. Although they didn¡¯t know what exactly happened. But at this time, any unforeseen event could become their chance of survival! Looking at the half-orcs that suddenly surrounded them, Little Fatty and the others immediately trembled in fear. This was the first time they had witnessed such a huge scene. They had long heard that there was an extremely terrifying orc tribe in the depths of the abyssal forest. But now that they were confronting these half-orcs that were ready to pounce on them, they realized that they had underestimated the terror of their adversaries. Just looking at them charging over, everyone felt as if their bodies were being torn apart. It was as if their arms, heads, thighs¡­ had all turn into pieces. Blood splattered everywhere, and their brains were dripping. The terrifying images that appeared in the depths of their minds were like electric currents that shook them. In an instant, fear took over their entire bodies and they crawled forward on the ground, trembling like reptiles. Feng Buhuo sighed softly. At this point, there was no use in escaping. Because they were already surrounded. Unless they could grow a pair of wings on their backs. But this was a fantasy. ¡°Buhuo, what should we do now?¡± Although Leng Hanyan did not lose her composure like Little Fatty and the others, her expression was grave. ¡°That¡¯s right, Buhuo, tell us what to do. We¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Little Fatty and the others looked at Feng Buhuo together. At this moment, everyone was waiting for him to make a decision. Feng Buhuo was not that worried, as compared to the others being spooked and terrified. Because he had already sized up the leader of this group of half-orcs, the one called Andrew, and obtained information about him. ¡°Creature¡¯s Race: Half-orc¡± ¡°Creature¡¯s Name: Andrew¡± ¡°Creature¡¯s Level: Annihilation Level¡± ¡°Creature¡¯s Status: Brutal/wrath¡± ¡°Creature¡¯s Upgrade Method: One S-class source core, success rate 60%; two A-class source cores, success rate 50%¡± How could an A-class creature be a match for the S-class Little Fiery? Little Fiery just need to make one big move albeit the number of half-orcs there were. Since there was no way to avoid it, then let¡¯s just fight! Originally, Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t want to get involved in the conflict between the half-orcs and the elves. But these half-orcs just had to provoke him. Since you want to go against me, then don¡¯t blame me! Little Fiery was full now and it was about time for it to do some exercise. Feng Buhuo calmly said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic, it¡¯s just a few half-orcs, nothing to worry about.¡± ¡°But, there are more than a thousand half-orcs down there, you called that just a few?¡± Little Fatty didn¡¯t dare to put his guard down. It was as if in the next second, these half-orcs would come at them like a tidal wave and drown them. ¡°No matter how many ants there are, aren¡¯t they still a group of ants?¡± As he spoke, he stood up. Since he had already been exposed, there was no need to continue hiding. He didn¡¯t even bother to conceal his voice. The half-orcs and elves at the bottom of the hill heard him. In an instant, the entire group of half-orcs was in an uproar. They gesticulated with their hands and feet and bared their teeth. Once the command was given, they would pounce on Feng Buhuo and kill him without leaving a trace. Princess Connie¡¯s brows furrowed imperceptibly when she saw Feng Buhuo stand up. She always had a bad feeling about humans. Especially since this guy dared to speak so arrogantly. Ants? How ridiculous. Although the elves were mortal enemies with the half-orcs, they had to admit that the half-orcs were a terrifying opponent. They had to be wary of them. Feng Buhuo said that the half-orcs were just a bunch of ants. Didn¡¯t that mean that the elves were also just a bunch of ants? Lowly humans, you¡¯re worse than ants! At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten, if it wasn¡¯t for the appearance of Feng Buhuo and the others who diverted the attention of the half-orcs, perhaps the elves would have already been annihilated. Little Fatty and the others were just about to stand up with Feng Buhuo, but when they heard Feng Buhuo¡¯s words, their bodies trembled. They almost fell. Big brother, can you be careful with what you say? You actually called them ants? If they got even angrier because of this¡­ Hum hum! One bite from each of them, they could chew us to bits and pieces without any leftovers. But they don¡¯t dare to show their cowardice in public. On second thought, we have a dragon, what are we afraid of? Then, with his head held high and chest out, they stood beside Feng Buhuo. He looked at the half-orcs at the foot of the hill. His gaze¡­ was a little evasive. Andrew walked through the group of half-orcs and came to the front of the crowd. He waved his mace and created an invisible wind blade. The thousands of half-orcs suddenly quieted down. But they still stared at Feng Buhuo fiercely. These half-orcs do have some intelligence. He didn¡¯t expect them to be so well-trained and obey orders. However, Feng Buhuo did not take it to heart. Andrew¡¯s eyes were as black as the night. They were like black holes that could devour everything. He used an extremely aggressive gaze to size up Feng Buhuo. Feng Buhuo felt a chill run down his spine. Then, he heard Andrew speak slowly. ¡°You are human?¡± ¡°As you can see, that¡¯s right.¡± Feng Buhuo¡¯s voice was neither servile nor overbearing. ¡°How dare you intrude into the depths of my abyssal forest?¡± Andrew¡¯s voice was like a rumble of muffled thunder. ¡°Do you want to die?¡± Feng Buhuo mocked, ¡°Why are you half-orcs so oppressive?¡± ¡°You can take over the territory of the elves, but not allow us to enter the depths of the forest?¡± ¡°If you have the ability, you can try.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t, I can guarantee that all of you will die here today!¡± Andrew shouted. Instantly, a powerful aura surged out. The half-orcs beside Andrew were all forced to take back a few steps. Feng Buhuo¡¯s froze in his spot. This Andrew was even more terrifying than Bruce and Abraham. Andrew¡¯s powerful aura made him a little shocked. Little Fatty and the others were even more shocked. D*mn, this guy was something. If I wasn¡¯t injured¡­ Well, even if I wasn¡¯t injured, I wouldn¡¯t be your match. Leng Hanyan also stared at Andrew with a serious expression. As for Princess Connie, her eyes looked back and forth. She knew that Feng Buhuo was doomed. But she wasn¡¯t worried at all. What she wanted to do now was to escape as soon as possible. Otherwise, after Andrew had dealt with Buhuo and the team, she would be next on his list! Chapter 29 - The Appearance of Little Fiery Shocked Everyone Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Andrew stretched his body. His whole body suddenly made some crackling sounds. ¡°Lowly humans, are you ready to accept your death?¡± ¡°Are you so sure that the one who will die will not be you half-orcs?¡± Andrew instantly burst into laughter, as if this was a ridiculous joke. ¡°You lowly humans?¡± ¡°You¡¯re dreaming!¡± ¡°Lowly humans, you shall pay the price for your stupidity!¡± He swept the mace in his hand. The thousands of half-orcs behind him immediately became extremely excited. Some of the half-orcs started to spin in circles on the spot. Little Fatty and the others were confused. They thought they were going to attack. But now¡­ D*mn! The next moment, their eyes widened. They saw hundreds of weapons coming towards them. Knives, axes, hammers, spears¡­ The weapons were all glowing with cold light. It was as if they could crush everything! Little Fatty and the others realized. These half-orcs were not just spinning for no reason. They were spinning in circles to accumulate a huge amount of power. Then, they let the weapons slip out of their hands. The weapons thrown out in this way were much more powerful than the ones they threw out directly. What was rare was that after spinning at such high speeds, they could still grasp the direction accurately. So much so that there was almost no deviation for the hundreds of weapons. They were all shooting straight at them. Little Fatty did not have the time to curse. Because these weapons were coming towards them rapidly! They had no way of dodging. Perhaps in the next moment, they would become a bunch of hedgehogs! At this critical moment, Feng Buhuo took a step forward. He raised his left palm high and then swung it down fiercely. He even shouted. ¡°Little Fiery, come out!¡± His voice reverberated throughout the area. Everyone¡¯s eyes instantly fell on him. Even Princess Connie, who was secretly looking for an escape route, subconsciously looked over. What was this guy doing? This action looked humiliating. He was so arrogant and reckless. Look what will happen to you all next. You would all become a pile of transparent holes. On the other hand, Little Fatty and the others felt an upsurge of emotions. Little Fiery, was it going to appear? Would it be obedient this time? Under everyone¡¯s gaze, on top of the hill, the space in front of Feng Buhuo suddenly became distorted. A huge black hole appeared. Thousands of half-orcs felt a powerful pressure at this moment. This pressure came from within their bodies, it came from their blood vessels and also their souls. It made them want to kneel on the ground. What kind of powerful creature was this?! Although they weren¡¯t humans, the half-orcs had fought with humans many times. Therefore, they had a good understanding of humans¡¯ special abilities. Of course, they also knew that space distortion and the appearance of black holes were the trademarks of summoners. However, they had never encountered such a situation. Just the appearance of a black hole was enough to subdue them. An extremely uneasy thought instantly sprang into Andrew¡¯s mind. He didn¡¯t have much rationality, but now it was telling him: He couldn¡¯t afford to offend this guy! The moment the black hole appeared, everyone felt some subtle changes. The weapons which were flying in the air suddenly slowed down and followed according to the original trajectory and speed. In a few seconds, these weapons should have all struck on the bodies of Buhuo and the others. But now, it seemed like more than ten seconds had passed, and those weapons were still flying slowly in the air. Andrew and Princess Connie looked at this scene in disbelief. They felt that their cognitions had been subverted. What was going on? As an outstanding representative of the elves, Princess Connie knew a lot of magic. This seemed to be a magical ability that could pause time or change space. But according to legends, this ability could only be mastered by a mage above SS-class. Could it be that this human summoned a beast above SS-class? No, this was impossible! But this seemed to be the truth. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, hundreds of weapons were all sucked into the black hole. It was as if a stone had fallen into a bottomless pit and not even a single sound could be heard. ¡°Andrew, are you ready to meet your death?¡± Feng Buhuo said without any fluctuation in intonation. But this sentence sounded like the will of God to Andrew and the thousands of half-orcs. It was as if the God high above them was calmly announcing something to them. It made their bodies tremble instantly. Before they could recover from their shock, a small living being walked out of the black hole. It was a cute, small creature that looked like a little puppy. It appeared in front of everyone. It had a pair of big lively eyes, similar to a playful child who had just woken up. Then, it flapped its small wings and slowly flew toward Feng Buhuo. The whole place was silent. It was so quiet that even the sound of a gust of wind lifting a skirt could be heard clearly. Princess Connie was speechless. Could this be the terrifying summoned beast? But it was obviously just a cub. How could it be the source of such powerful pressure? But if it wasn¡¯t, why did the black hole disappear after it came out? For a moment, Princess Connie felt that she was already in a confused state of mind. She thought it was some SS-class terrifying creature. But it turned out to be a little puppy? Well, it is indeed cute-looking. But you still lied to my feelings, unforgivable! Of course, Princess Connie wasn¡¯t the only one who was confused. Andrew was also feeling crazy inside. It was just a little puppy. But that pressure just now wasn¡¯t bogus. The half-orcs had half of the blood lineage of the orcs. Thus, they were especially sensitive to the pressure from some powerful exotic beasts. Andrew was sure that this seemingly harmless little puppy must have terrifying powers. Although he didn¡¯t know which race it was from. And he didn¡¯t know how a human could summon an exotic beast of such a level. But he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly now. Seeing that the leader didn¡¯t move, the other half-orcs naturally became quiet. Andrew felt his companions¡¯ uneasy gazes, so he could only brace himself and speak to Feng Buhuo. ¡°Human, who exactly are you?¡± ¡°What does this have to do with you?¡± Andrew wasn¡¯t annoyed. ¡°What kind of summoned beast is this?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to know!¡± ¡°If you want to know, you might as well try.¡± Feng Buhuo sneered and continued. ¡°Or are you afraid?¡± ¡°You!¡± Andrew was exposed and his expression changed. But he did not compromise at all. ¡°Bullsh*t, how could we, the powerful half-orcs, be afraid of you lowly humans?¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t waste your time. If you want to fight, then go ahead!¡± Feng Buhuo¡¯s expression was cold. Andrew¡¯s face instantly fell.. Chapter 30 - Little Fiery Showed Its Powers, and the Half-orcs Fled Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Too arrogant, he was too arrogant. Andrew could guarantee that Feng Buhuo was the most arrogant human he had ever met. He was personally challenging the entire race of half-orcs directly! Even if this little puppy was really strong, could it threaten us half-orcs? Of course, Andrew wasn¡¯t the only one who was shocked by Feng Buhuo. The half-orcs behind him were all appalled. Even Princess Connie was astounded. At a time like this, Feng Buhuo still dared to stir up trouble. Ah, he was indeed a lowly and ignorant human. She didn¡¯t believe that a little puppy could defeat the thousands of half-orcs in front of her. After all, even her group of elves had been tragically defeated by these orcs. Could it be that the lowly human race was stronger than the elves? Ha, impossible! ¡°Buhuo, why don¡¯t we try to be humble?¡± ¡°Maybe they won¡¯t dare to attack after being scared by Little Fiery?¡± Little Fatty whispered into Feng Buhuo¡¯s ears. Feng Buhuo gently waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. These half-orcs aren¡¯t as weak as you think.¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t teach them a lesson, they will continue to look down on us humans.¡± ¡°Have you forgotten what he said about humans?¡± Little Fatty immediately fell silent. Inferior, degrading. These words were as harsh and sharp as thorns in the ears. ¡°Buhuo is right. In the past, our base was not that strong so we had been ridiculed by others. But we are different now.¡± Leng Hanyan said softly. ¡°We have Buhuo and Little Fiery. Today, we must teach these conceited half-orcs a lesson!¡± The words of Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan instantly ignited the fire in Little Fatty and the others¡¯ hearts. That¡¯s right. Before, they weren¡¯t that strong. That¡¯s why they didn¡¯t even dare to enter the core of the forest. But now, it was different. They had Buhuo and Little Fiery. They didn¡¯t have to be too scared and timid anymore. There was the hope of getting more precious resources. Weren¡¯t these changes brought about by Feng Buhuo? Wasn¡¯t this the reason why they chose Feng Buhuo as their next leader? Weren¡¯t these changes what they¡¯ve been waiting for? At this moment, everyone seemed to be full of confidence. Because of the ability of Feng Buhuo. Because they had Feng Buhuo on their side. Feng Buhuo felt the change in them and nodded secretly. Seeing that Andrew didn¡¯t reply for a long time, Feng Buhuo snorted again. ¡°Andrew, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so cowardly.¡± ¡°Facing a human, you don¡¯t even dare to attack.¡± ¡°It seems that what you said a while ago was just bragging.¡± ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± ¡°You lowly humans!¡± ¡°Ignorant, weak and cowardly humans!¡± Andrew was completely enraged. In his heart, the humans were still a lowly race. If half of their bloodline was not from the human race, they would be like the orcs now, with extremely strong bodies. However, the orcs weren¡¯t willing to accept them half-orcs. This was all because of the human race! How could such a lowly race like humans have the ability to summon powerful beasts? For a moment, the hatred he had accumulated for many years against the human race was like a raging fire, burning all of his rationality in an instant. ¡°I want, I want to kill all of you!¡± ¡°Warriors, charge!¡± ¡°Use their blood to wash away the shame on us!¡± ¡°Hoo!!!¡± Thousands of half-orcs let out wild beast-like roars. The hatred between the two races was like an explosive barrel. Without a doubt, the appearance of Feng Buhuo coupled with his provocation was a fuse. It completely ignited their anger at this moment! Under Andrew¡¯s command, all the half-orcs rushed forward together. Some ran wildly with their legs while others used their hands and feet to propel themselves forward. They were like wild beasts. Feng Buhuo looked coldly at the half-orcs that were coming to them from all directions like tidal waves. He lightly shouted, ¡°Little Fiery, go, teach them a lesson!¡± Little Fiery pouted and slowly flew up from Feng Buhuo¡¯s shoulder. It had already eaten a good meal yesterday. It wasn¡¯t thirsty or hungry now and just wanted to have some fun. These stupid, ugly guys came just in time. Watch how I deal with them. Little Fiery flew into the air. At this time, the half-orcs were almost in front of Feng Buhuo and the others. Seeing them bared their teeth and brandished their claws in front of their eyes, Little Fatty and the others couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Although they believed in Little Fiery¡¯s strength, they felt the half-orcs¡¯ killing intent getting stronger and nearer. It caused them to have an uncomfortable physiological reaction. However, in the next moment. ¡°Roar!¡± Little Fiery suddenly let out a long and deafening roar. Waves of invisible sound waves instantly spread out with Little Fiery as the centre. The half-orcs that were charging in front suddenly stopped in their tracks. They raised their heads to look, and their pupils began to expand uncontrollably. They saw a ball of scarlet flames that looked like lava spewing out and was emitting an unbearable heatwave. Even the air surrounding the fireball seemed to be burning. Although they were not in close contact with the flames yet, the clothes and hair on the half-orcs¡¯ body started to combust spontaneously! In an instant, they were completely naked. But they didn¡¯t have time to be shocked. Because in the next moment, they realised that the scarlet flames had already touched their bodies. These flames were like the strongest poison in the world. It only took a moment for them to spread throughout their bodies. The burning pain came from the inside and spread all over them. Their blood started to boil Their bones burnt like firewood. The indescribable pain made their faces look hideous, like the evil spirits. The heart-wrenching wails resounded throughout the sky It was a disorderly and desolate sight. A wave of fire, like a raging wave, instantly drowned out the hundreds of half-orcs charging in front. This scene instantly scared Andrew out of his wits. Now he was able to say with certainty, that this little guy was at least S-class! To creatures of this level, the number was indeed insignificant. Although an S-class was only one level higher than his A-class, this level was the most crucial one. From an A-class to an S-class, it was a major turning point! So Andrew didn¡¯t have the slightest doubt. If this battle continued, even if all the half-orcs died, they wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt this little guy at all! Little Fiery¡¯s powerful flames instantly made Andrew realise something. He couldn¡¯t care about what the elves had now. Now he had to escape! He had to escape back to the depths of his territory. Because his territory had something that was enough to destroy this little guy! But he didn¡¯t need to give orders at all. The half-orcs that were at the back saw the tragic scene of the vanguard. None of them continued to rush forward foolishly. Their first reaction was to turn and run. As far as possible. When Andrew realised this, his face turned ashen. These guys, how could they leave me? Wait for me! Chapter 31 - Princess Connies Arrogance Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After coming back to his senses, Andrew sprinted towards the depths of the forest. However, he didn¡¯t think that this was an escape. Instead, it should be called a tactical dodge. Or rather, it was just a temporary respite for Feng Buhuo and the others. The half-orcs were much more than that. They still had a real trump card that they hadn¡¯t used yet. Andrew believed that even if this little fellow was an S-class exotic beast, it would have no choice but to retreat when facing their half-orcs¡¯ trump card. Unless that little fellow was an SS-class beast. But just as this thought appeared in Andrew¡¯s mind, he immediately shrugged it off. SS-class? Absolutely impossible. No creature could possess the strength of an SS-class while in its cub state! Andrew firmly believed this. On the other hand, Princess Connie¡¯s face was full of astonishment. Andrew actually turned around and fled without saying anything? Was this still the aggressive and fierce half-orc powerhouse that threatened her just now? It was a completely different half-orc. She didn¡¯t expect that even orcs would bully the weak and fear the strong. When they encountered a truly powerful opponent, they didn¡¯t even dare to fight for themselves. She subconsciously turned her gaze to look at Little Fiery. Little Fiery was still floating in the air. It had a bored expression on its face. It didn¡¯t care much about the hundreds or thousands of half-orcs at all. It didn¡¯t even have the intention to deal with Andrew who had escaped. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind. What kind of creature was this? How could it have such powerful strength? Also, what was the background of this man who was able to summon it? Suddenly, she thought of a possibility. It seemed impossible, but it was the only possibility. Little Fiery was from the dragon race! The dragon race was one of the most powerful creatures of all time! The elves were famous for their longevity. But the elders of their race had never seen a dragon before. So even she doubts the existence of the legendary dragon! She didn¡¯t believe that Little Fiery was a dragon. But judging by the kind of destructive power that Little Fiery displayed just now, it was sufficient evidence that it was not an ordinary creature! While Princess Connie was racking her brains, Feng Buhuo, together with Little Fatty and the others, walked towards her. Although Little Fatty and the rest were aware of Little Fiery¡¯s strength, when they saw Little Fiery destroy a large group of half-orcs, they were shocked and in awe of its powers. Especially Abraham. When the half-orcs rushed over, he woke up just in time. Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Abraham was overjoyed. He thought that he was close to escaping from the tiger¡¯s den. However, after a moment, he realized that he had been extremely wrong. That was because Little Fiery had used just one move. In just one move, it had annihilated hundreds of half-orcs. It was even more terrifying than last night! Only then did he suddenly realize that the strength of an S-class was something unimaginable. If he was given another chance to choose again, he would not go against Feng Buhuo. He would rather leave the Motie Base and give up on Leng Hanyan. He would never dare offend Feng Buhuo again. Unfortunately, there was no second chance in life. A kind of bone-chilling despair overwhelmed him in an instant. He only woke up for a moment but went into a coma again due to despair. ¡­ Princess Connie didn¡¯t see Buhuo and company walking over. She was still engrossed in her thoughts. Until the guards behind her softly called out to her. ¡°Princess, Princess!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Look, that group of humans is coming towards us.¡± Princess Connie looked over. Sure enough, the one in the lead was Feng Buhuo. On his shoulder was the little fellow who had displayed its might just now. Behind him was a group of people. This was Little Fatty¡¯s suggestion. He was active and sociable and liked to make friends. Since the half-orcs had been driven away by Buhuo, he naturally wanted to befriend Princess Connie. The others did not object, including Feng Buhuo. There was an old saying that more people meant more paths. If you wanted to survive in the apocalyptic world, having more friends was ultimately a benefit. After all, no one had much interaction with the elves, not to mention the princess of the elves. So everyone was very interested. Besides, what exactly was it that they were fighting with the half-orcs for? This also made them very curious. Of course, since this matter was brought up by Little Fatty, he naturally took the initiative to strike up a conversation. Little Fatty scratched his head, his face was a bit bashful. ¡°Hello, Princess Connie.¡± After saying that, he even extended his palm. However, Princess Connie did not look at Little Fatty at all. Instead, she secretly sized up Feng Buhuo who was standing a distance away, as well as Little Fiery. Princess Connie was not in the least interested in this fat boy who did not put up any exemplary performance at all. Little Fatty¡¯s palm remained suspended in the air under everyone¡¯s gaze, In an instant, he was so embarrassed that he even buckled his toes. Was he being ignored? Princess Connie did not even look at him, let alone shake his hand! Little Fatty immediately became a little angry. ¡°Princess Connie, are you listening to me?¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± This was her response. Little Fatty could only suppress his dissatisfaction. ¡°Princess Connie, may I ask what exactly are the elves and half-orcs fighting over?¡± ¡°What does this have to do with you?¡± Hearing about him asking about the thing, Princess Connie became nervous again. ¡°I advise you not to have any designs on that thing, or else¡­¡± Hearing this, Feng Buhuo, Leng Hanyan and the others instantly frowned. They couldn¡¯t understand what Princess Connie was trying to imply in her words. It seemed that she was just threatening them not to ask about the thing, but her attitude was quite bad. Little Fatty was also angry, and his tone was a bit mocking. ¡°We are not trying to find out more about the elves.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all our fault that we came here by mistake and learned about these things.¡± ¡°If we hadn¡¯t appeared, these secrets would naturally be buried here.¡± ¡°Are you reminding me that if it weren¡¯t for you, we would have died here?¡± Princess Connie¡¯s expression changed instantly, and she laughed disdainfully. ¡°Let me tell you, even without you, we would still be safe!¡± ¡°Ridiculous, if it weren¡¯t for us saving you, you would have turned into a ball of light long ago!¡± ¡°Just like your companions who died just now!¡± Since she was acting like this, Little Fatty decided to speak his mind. He thought that the elves should be understanding and reasonable. But now, it seemed that this was not the case at all. From the looks of it, this Princess Connie was completely unreasonable. Then why did he need to be polite? As expected, when Little Fatty mentioned her guards who had sacrificed themselves, her expression changed for the worst. These people were her most loyal guards. They had accompanied her through life and death. Although she was a little spoilt, she still had things that she cherished very much! Chapter 32 - Voices from the Ground Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Princess Connie¡¯s face was as white as a sheet of paper. If it was said that she was as proud as a peacock earlier on, now she was a cold peacock. Throughout her childhood education, she was taught that the human race was synonymous with greed. They were lowly creatures that were weak yet cunning. They would sell anything for profit. They fought for power and killed each other. Therefore, in her mind, she had always looked down on these humans. Even if these humans had saved her. Even if this little puppy gave her an unfathomable feeling. Especially now that his words had hurt her most trusted and loyal guard. ¡°How dare you slander the warriors of our elves!¡± Princess Connie gritted her silver teeth and rebuked angrily. Little Fatty wasn¡¯t weak either. ¡°Slander? When did I slander them? Isn¡¯t what I said the truth?¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for us saving you, you and your followers would have died long ago!¡± ¡°You wouldn¡¯t have the chance to be so arrogant!¡± ¡°We elves doesn¡¯t need you to save us! We¡¯d rather die than need you lowly humans to save us!¡± Princess Connie had completely washed her hands off. She had forgotten all about the etiquettes of the elves. ¡°You saving us was just wishful thinking on your part, it¡¯s because you all had overestimated yourselves.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t expect us to repay you just because of this. I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s impossible!¡± Hiss! Little Fatty and the others all sucked in a breath of cold air. What kind of bullsh*t princess was this? Was she crazy? When did we ask her to repay us? But she said that saving her was just our wishful thinking. Did we save the wrong party? Was there something wrong with this lady¡¯s brain? Or was it because she had been a princess for too long that her way of thinking was different from average living beings? Even the usually calm Leng Hanyan was not able to tolerate this nonsense and sit still anymore. ¡°Princess Connie, what you¡¯ve said is not correct right?¡± ¡°Hmph, there¡¯s nothing wrong with it. If you think that just because you have saved us, you can make us bow down to you, then let me tell you, you¡¯re wrong!¡± ¡°We, noble elves, don¡¯t need the help of your lowly human race at all!¡± Bah! Little Fatty and the others almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Princess Connie¡¯s words were too audacious. Did she really think that elves were superior to humans? Did she think that being a princess was that high and mighty? Just as Leng Hanyan was about to chide Connie again, Feng Buhuo stopped her. ¡°Forget it, there¡¯s nothing to talk about with such a brainless elf.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left. Seeing this, Leng Hanyan and the others hurriedly followed. They also felt that they couldn¡¯t reason with this so-called princess at all. After taking a few steps, Feng Buhuo stopped. He turned his head to look at Princess Connie. ¡°Your Highness, I hope that you won¡¯t regret your foolish actions in the future!¡± As soon as Feng Buhuo said that, he left without waiting for Princess Connie¡¯s reply. Connie could not help but be stunned. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable as she watched the departing back of Feng Buhuo. She did not know why, but Feng Buhuo¡¯s words were like a thorn. It made her feel a deep sense of unease. No, I¡¯m a noble princess of the elves! They¡¯re just some lowly humans. What I did was right. I won¡¯t have any regrets! ¡­ Under the lead of Feng Buhuo, the group continued to advance through the dense forest. Along the way, they naturally couldn¡¯t help but be angry at Princess Connie. After all, they went to great lengths to save her. In the end, she didn¡¯t even acknowledge it. If this kind of treatment happened to anyone, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to endure it. But even if they complained, they had something important to do. They had to gather resources! What happened just now was just a small interlude. Little Fiery felt extremely bored. However, it didn¡¯t want to return to the summoning space. Thus, it directly rested on Feng Buhuo¡¯s shoulder. It had to be said that this place was quite comfortable. Leng Hanyan asked, ¡°Buhuo, where should we go now?¡± The others also looked at him. Feng Buhuo was now a recognised leader. No one would disagree with his opinion. Feng Buhuo pondered for a moment. The reason why there were no animals in the abyssal forest was probably because of the battle between the half-orcs and the elves. Perhaps those animals had gone to the horizon. It was impossible to find them. However, since the half-orcs were the overlords of the forest, they must have accumulated a lot of good stuff if they wanted to survive. They could rob them. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll follow the direction those half-orcs escaped.¡± ¡°Ah, why? Are you going to chase them?¡± Little Fatty turned pale with fright. ¡°Of course not.¡± Feng Buhuo shook his head and smiled. This Little Fatty¡¯s thoughts were really direct. Then, Feng Buhuo made his thoughts clear to everyone. After hearing what he said, everyone was stunned. His idea was very bold, but it was also very reasonable. If it was in the past, they would definitely not do it. But now because of Feng Buhuo, everything seemed to be possible. Moreover, the more they think about it, the more excited they became! So, not only did they not oppose it, but they also supported the decision of Buhuo. A true leader should have such courage, thinking and ability. So, the group followed the tracks of the half-orcs and carefully continued forward. They still did not meet any wild beasts along the way. Of course, there were no half-orcs. Just when the group began to feel lost, they suddenly heard some strange sounds. Those sounds were like the wails of animals, and also the roars of wild beasts. The group was instantly overjoyed. After circling for so long, they had finally found it? They followed the sound and carefully walked through a thicket. Then, they saw an extremely shocking scene. They saw a huge wooden camp. The houses were not high, not much different from the houses built by humans but not as exquisite. It looked like the camp of the half-orcs. But there was not a single half-orc in the camp. They did not dare to be unguarded. After all, they were now in the core area of the half-orcs. It was not an exaggeration to say that there were dangers everywhere. But victory was right in front of them. At this moment, everyone was almost certain, there must be a considerable amount of prey hidden in this camp. So even if they were in the tiger¡¯s den, everyone had to venture in. Feng Buhuo could only instruct everyone to be careful. Two in one group to explore the area. Feng Buhuo partnered with Leng Hanyan in the end. ¡°Buhuo, I think the voices are coming from underground.¡± Leng Hanyan listened quietly for a while. ¡°Yeah, I think so too.¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t know how we can go down.¡± ¡°Secret door. Since we haven¡¯t found it, there must be a secret door.¡± Feng Buhuo paused for a moment and continued. ¡°Half-orcs aren¡¯t very smart, so I guess this secret door isn¡¯t hard to find..¡± Chapter 33 - It Had to Be Simple and Crude Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan finally arrived at the centre of the camp. This was a huge circular formation. At the centre of the formation was a stone pillar that was several meters tall. In the entire camp, this seemed to be the only place that was different from the others. The sounds coming from underground were especially obvious here. Feng Buhuo concluded that this must be the location of the passageway. But the question was, where was the entrance? Feng Buhuo circled the stone pillar several times. This stone pillar was very thick and needed three people to surround it. ¡°There must be something about this thick stone pillar.¡± Leng Hanyan also felt that something was not right. ¡°I suspect that the entrance is related to this stone pillar. I just don¡¯t know how to find it.¡± Feng Buhuo did not answer. Instead, he rubbed his chin and carefully examined this pillar. Seeing this, Leng Hanyan did not want to disturb him anymore. She could only follow suit and examine the pillar by knocking at it a few times. From time to time, she would lie on her stomach and listen with her ears on the ground. However, the sound coming from the ground was not clear. In other words, it was not as obvious as the sound she heard from the pillar. It could be inferred that the half-orcs must have hidden their prey very deeply. However, this was not surprising. After all, in this apocalyptic world, food and water were extremely precious resources. Although they were not as rare as source cores, without these resources, no matter how strong and prosperous a race was, they would all die. Therefore, it was an unquestionable fact that the half-orcs would hide their prey very deeply. Little Fatty and the others walked over at this time. This camp was really not small. Even if they split up to search, they still spent a lot of time and effort. But of course, they did not find anything. All of them were a little dejected. ¡°Buhuo, did you guys find something?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t disturb him. This pillar is quite strange. There¡¯s probably a trap or something.¡± Leng Hanyan explained to them what she and Buhuo have thought. The group of people became interested and started discussing. ¡°I think we should try to move this pillar away.¡± ¡°No, no, if it¡¯s that simple, can it still be called a trap?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Besides, it¡¯s such a big pillar. We can¡¯t move it.¡± ¡°I think there should be some kind of sealing spell on this pillar. It won¡¯t work with brute force.¡± ¡­ Everyone felt that this stone pillar was definitely not simple. Perhaps it was protected by the half-orc¡¯s secret spell. Or perhaps it had the seal of a mage. In short, if they did not use the right method, they would definitely not be able to enter. In the end, the group of people discussed it over and over, but they did not have a solution. Rumble, rumble¡­ Someone¡¯s stomach was growling. Arguing was also something that took a lot of effort. For Little Fatty and the others who had not eaten for more than a day, their hunger had already reached an unbearable level. ¡°Oh my god, what are we going to do with this thing?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I, Little Fatty, would be starved to death instead of dying at the hands of the half-orcs. How pitiful!¡± ¡°You think you are the only one who is wise. I think you are shameless. It¡¯s good to starve you a few times, but can you still bear to watch the layers of fat on your body?¡± As he spoke, Magic Wolf was about to pinch the fats on Little Fatty¡¯s waist. In the end, Little Fatty pretended to be angry and slapped his hand away. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s my business. If you have the spare time to tease me, you might as well think about what to do.¡± ¡°You still don¡¯t know me? I only know how to use my hands. I can¡¯t do things that use my brain.¡± ¡°How about we just destroy this pillar?¡± Feng Buhuo muttered. His voice wasn¡¯t loud, but it was unknown whether it was because of Feng Buhuo or what he had said, in an instant, everyone shut their mouths and looked at Feng Buhuo in surprise. After a long while, Little Fatty asked, ¡°Buhuo, are you serious?¡± Under everyone¡¯s astonished gazes, Feng Buhuo slowly nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any seal on this pillar. Maybe it¡¯s just a trick.¡± ¡°Besides, with the half-orc¡¯s incomplete brain development, I don¡¯t think they¡¯ll be able to come up with something difficult.¡± His words seemed very reasonable. But Little Fatty and the others didn¡¯t dare to agree. Actually, it wasn¡¯t their fault. They were definitely following Feng Buhuo¡¯s instructions. But subconsciously, they felt that it wouldn¡¯t be that simple. Just like how an ordinary person would look for treasure. Of course, the more complicated the treasure map was, the higher the possibility that there was a treasure. If it was too simple, even if they gave it to someone directly, they might even think that it was a prank. ¡°No, Buhuo, I don¡¯t think you should think that way.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Buhuo. I think we still need to consider this matter from a long-term perspective.¡± ¡°This matter isn¡¯t that simple. We need to¡­¡± Everyone spoke one after another. In the end, their noises directly woke up Little Fiery, who was resting on Feng Buhuo¡¯s shoulder. Little Fiery was originally sleeping soundly, but his beautiful dream was interrupted. It got up in a fit of anger. It listened carefully for a while before figuring out what they were arguing about. Hmph, I thought what had happened. It seems that you guys are so noisy just for such a small matter. If Feng Buhuo wants you to destroy this pillar, then destroy it. Why do you have to disturb my sleep here. Little Fiery snorted and flew into the air. It flew toward the pillar. Everyone turned pale with fright. Did Little Fiery want to destroy the pillar? Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t expect Little Fiery to suddenly make such a move. However, this was his idea, so he naturally wouldn¡¯t stop Little Fiery. ¡°Little Fiery, don¡¯t be rash.¡± ¡°Little Fiery, come back quickly. We haven¡¯t decided yet!¡± Hmph, I¡¯ll do whatever I want to do. It does not have to do with whether you all want it or not. Thus, amidst everyone¡¯s loud shouts, Little Fiery roared. It opened its mouth and a ball of flames shot out like a missile. With a long trail of light, it flew towards the pillar. Rumble! There was a loud sound. The flames slammed into the pillar, causing countless sparks and dust to fly instantly. The huge stone pillar was submerged by the waves of fire, giving out crackling fire sounds. The extreme heat was dissolving the stone pillar¡¯s body. Little Fatty and the others couldn¡¯t help but pat their heads. Hiss! They were too careless. If this was the case, they might never find the entrance. Are we going to starve again? Feng Buhuo was filled with anticipation. Little Fiery indeed belonged to the dragon race. The power of its flames could even burn rocks. And it wasn¡¯t just burning in the ordinary sense. He had seen it clearly just now. It was almost at the moment the flames came into contact with it, the stone pillar began to fall apart. In just a short moment, the flames had already subsided. Because the stone pillar had been completely burned into a pile of ash. However, the next scene made everyone¡¯s eyes widen. The cries of the underground prey became clearer, and a pitch-black and deep hole appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.. Chapter 34 - The Despair that Had Descended once Again Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Feng Buhuo and the others were exploring the secret of that pillar. At the same time, in the core area of the dense forest. Andrew was with the remaining half-orcs who were under his command. ¡°Leader, are we going to do this?¡± The one who spoke was a lackey with an extremely grave expression. Andrew glanced at him. His cold gaze made him shiver uncontrollably. ¡°Otherwise, do you have a better idea?¡± ¡°But, this giant beast will not recognize its kin. If we let it out and can¡¯t control it, then¡­¡± ¡°Hmph, even if we can¡¯t control them, we can still use them to deal with those hateful intruders!¡± Andrew clenched the mace in his hand, killing intent surging in his eyes. ¡°No matter what, everyone has the blood of the orcs.¡± ¡°Although they won¡¯t listen to our orders, they won¡¯t hurt us easily.¡± ¡°And the elves have taken that thing away. They will take it back first.¡± The lackey listened to Andrew¡¯s analysis and couldn¡¯t help but nod. However, he soon discovered another problem. ¡°But, why would they attack those humans?¡± ¡°Stupid, do you even need to ask?¡± Andrew directly patted the back of his head. ¡°Those humans saved the elves, even if they had nothing to do with each other initially.¡± ¡°But now, there¡¯s a connection between the two.¡± ¡°Maybe they¡¯re together now. If that¡¯s the case, isn¡¯t it killing two birds with one stone?¡± ¡°Not only can we get the thing back, but we can also destroy those humans and¡­ that terrifying beast!¡± Unfortunately, Andrew didn¡¯t know that the two races had already gone their separate ways, and his assumptions might have gone down the drain. He would be furious if he knew that it was because of Princess Connie¡¯s arrogance that created a rift between the two. Speaking of Little Fiery, Andrew shivered again. Everything that had happened just now was still vivid in his mind. His fear of Little Fiery was currently deeply rooted in him. The lackeys around him also twitched in fear. They didn¡¯t know what kind of strange beast it was. It had such powerful strength. For such a race, perhaps it only needed an ordinary member to wipe out the entire race of half-orcs. Even the proud Andrew had to admit to this. Although he looked down on the human race, the half-orcs¡¯ position was even more awkward. They belonged to a mixed-race, a race that wasn¡¯t considered very powerful. In this apocalyptic world, it was also very difficult to survive. The reason why they looked down on the humans wasn¡¯t that the human race was weak. It was because this kind of attitude was necessary for them to rely on a large number of orcs. To display their worship to the orcs, they had to show that they hated the human race even more than the orcs. Andrew suddenly stopped and looked behind him. His face was ashen, and his entire body was trembling due to anger. ¡°Humans, elves, just you wait. I will make this abyssal forest your burial ground!¡± How would Andrew react if he found out that Feng Buhuo had already led his team to loot one of their important bases, as well as taking all the resources that they had accumulated for a long time as his own? ¡­ Not long after, in another part of the abyssal forest. Princess Connie and a few of her guards were walking through the forest. Although the abyssal forest had long become the territory of the half-orcs, the elves were the original owners of the forest after all. Therefore, Princess Connie was very familiar with the area here, which was why they were able to successfully seize this thing. Unfortunately, after they succeeded, they were still discovered by the half-orcs. In the end, they were chased away by the half-orcs. If they hadn¡¯t met with Feng Buhuo and the others, they would have been done for. Not all elves looked down on humans. Part of the reason why Princess Connie said those words was because she was an elf. Another part of the reason was that she was the princess of the elves. The education of the royal family of the elves was crazy self-hypnosis. It was so hypnotic that every prince and princess of the elves believed that they were one of the noblest creatures in the world. And the human race, who looked like them appearance-wise, was one of the lowest and most degrading races. Therefore, the root of the corruption of the elves originated from their current royal family. Princess Connie and the other elves relaxed after not encountering any more attacks. ¡°Princess, we¡¯ll be able to leave the depths of the forest soon!¡± Some of the guards were excited. After all, they had escaped death. In comparison, Princess Connie¡¯s appeared much more stable and calm. ¡°Yes, but everyone still needs to be careful. Only when we reach the outskirts of the forest can we be considered to be out of danger.¡± The guard nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, ¡°Princess, I shouldn¡¯t have said anything, but weren¡¯t you a little too¡­ cold-hearted towards those humans just now?¡± Princess Connie¡¯s expression instantly darkened. ¡°Hmph, cold-hearted? I don¡¯t think so.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the truth. I didn¡¯t say anything wrong.¡± ¡°But, after all, those humans saved us.¡± ¡°So what? I¡¯m a dignified princess of the elves.¡± Princess Connie put her hands on her hips, her face full of arrogance and disdain. ¡°They¡¯re just a bunch of lowly humans. There¡¯s no chance of them coming into contact with us.¡± ¡°They should feel lucky that they have the chance to help us!¡± ¡°Besides, my guards died loyally. They died solemnly, but not tragically.¡± ¡°Blame them for saying the wrong thing!¡± ¡°Even if I, Connie, die, I won¡¯t put in a good word for them!¡± The guards all had bitter expressions. The princess had a good heart. It could be seen from her attitude towards the guards. If an ordinary guard dared to say that the princess was cold-hearted, he would probably be sent to the gallows. But Princess Connie wouldn¡¯t do that to them. It was just that Princess Connie was too proud and would never admit her mistake. Not to mention that the other party was a human. But what could they do? They were just Connie¡¯s guards. No matter how good Connie was to them, they didn¡¯t dare to go against the rules and force Connie to admit her mistake. But with Princess Connie¡¯s personality, it was likely that she still had a hard time ahead of her. Sigh¡­ ¡°Quick, it¡¯s not far ahead. Faster!¡± Princess Connie looked at the sparse vegetation not far away and was overjoyed. As long as they moved a little further, they would succeed. That thing would truly belong to her. And the next elven throne would belong to her younger brother, the prince! The guards around her were also delighted beyond measure. Was this crisis finally coming to an end? However, the heavens had pulled a joke on them. Just when they thought that hope was right in front of them, despair descended.. Chapter 35 - Rich Harvest Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The abyssal forest, the campsite of the half-orcs. The half-orcs were indeed the overlords of the abyssal forest. The number of resources they had accumulated was beyond everyone¡¯s imagination. There was a huge underground cave with hundreds and thousands of wild beasts hidden inside. Of course, most of the wild beasts were injured. The half-orcs must have hunted them not long ago. They were not killed, probably because the half-orcs modelled after the habits of the orcs. They did not like to eat dead meat and preferred to eat it raw. Other than that, there were many valuable herbs and wild fruits. Some of these resources could satisfy hunger while others could heal wounds. Of course, there were also many that Feng Buhuo and the others had never seen before. After all, these were probably treasures that only existed in the depths of the abyssal forest. Those humans who had only been wandering around the outskirts of the forest would naturally not recognize them. The group believed that with these resources, as long as people were not completely dead, they would be able to save them. They would also be able to raise them until they were healthy and well and full of energy. With so many things, everyone would not be able to take all of them back. Looking at the pile of gold and silver in front of them but not being able to move them away was torture to them! ¡°So many good things, but we can¡¯t move them away. We can only leave them to the half-orcs. What a pity!¡± Little Fatty flew into a rage, and thumped his chest and stamped his feet. ¡°It¡¯s all Abraham¡¯s fault. If he hadn¡¯t killed so many of our companions, we wouldn¡¯t be short of manpower now.¡± ¡°We can only watch helplessly at these good things but not able to bring them back to the base!¡± As Little Fatty spoke, he could not help but kick Abraham twice. Abraham, who had just woken up, was still in a daze. He saw a large foot flying towards his head. Abraham¡¯s eyes instantly widened. But he did not have the time to react before he was firmly kicked. ¡°F*ck!¡± Amidst the burning pain, Abraham couldn¡¯t help but swear. The intense pain numbed his consciousness. The miserable Abraham only woke up for half a minute before he fainted again. But Little Fatty still felt that it wasn¡¯t enough. He continued to kick at the unconscious Abraham. Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t care about these things. He was only thinking about one problem now, and that was Little Fiery. Little Fiery consumed a lot of meat. Although its body was still small, given a thousand pounds of roasted meat may still not be enough to last Little Fiery for half a month. If he wanted to increase Little Fiery¡¯s submission rate as fast as possible, he had to think of other ways. Originally, he was quite interested in the thing that the half-orcs and elves were fighting for. But that so-called princess Connie was so arrogant that he didn¡¯t have any desire to communicate with her. So, he didn¡¯t bother to ask. Alas, it was a pity that there wasn¡¯t even a source core in such a large abyssal forest. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have to be so troubled. However, they did reap quite a harvest. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with smiles. Leng Hanyan also pursed her lips and chuckled, ¡°Buhuo, this time, it¡¯s all thanks to you and Little Fiery. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid we would have wasted our efforts.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s all thanks to Buhuo. I didn¡¯t expect Buhuo to be right about it. There¡¯s no need to think so much, just destroy it.¡± Little Fatty also continuously nodded and agreed in unison. ¡°As expected, those half-orcs with underdeveloped brains can¡¯t think of any advanced methods.¡± ¡°They just hollowed out the inside of a stone pillar and blocked the hole.¡± ¡°Look who¡¯s talking? Weren¡¯t you the one who questioned Buhuo¡¯s decision a while ago¡± Magic Wolf suddenly said with a slightly mocking tone. ¡°What? Isn¡¯t it a little late to be flattering now?¡± Little Fatty was exposed by others, and his face instantly turned red. ¡°Don¡¯t blame me. You guys were not convinced as well just now!¡± ¡°We¡¯re all the same, there¡¯s no difference.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also because we never interacted with these half-orcs, so we didn¡¯t know that they were so stupid.¡± ¡°If you ask me, if we run into half-orcs again in the future, just do it. There¡¯s no need to think so much!¡± ¡°Just do it? That¡¯s easy for you to say. Can you defeat them?¡± ¡°Even if I can¡¯t defeat them, we still have Buhuo right?¡± Little Fatty was anxious. ¡°We didn¡¯t dare to enter the depths of this abyssal forest initially but look where we are. Isn¡¯t it all because of Buhuo?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. Without Buhuo, there wouldn¡¯t be these changes.¡± Now, it seemed that Buhuo was indeed their best candidate to be the next leader. Not only did he uncover Abraham¡¯s conspiracy and lead them to defeat Abraham and the others, but he also led them to defeat the half-orcs. Now, he even used his intelligence and wit to make them obtain rich resources. As long as they brought these resources back to the base, everyone who doubted Buhuo would shut their mouths. But, why did Buhuo not say anything? Little Fatty¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was unhappy because they had doubted his decision just now? No, we can¡¯t let Buhuo misunderstand. ¡°Buhuo, you won¡¯t blame us, right?¡± Little Fatty asked with a bitter face. The group of people behind him also lowered their heads. Only then did they pull back Feng Buhuo from his thoughts. ¡°Blame you guys? What do I blame you guys for?¡± ¡°Blame us for questioning your decision just now.¡± Hearing this, Feng Buhuo burst into laughter. ¡°What is this? Why would I blame you guys for this?¡± ¡°Everyone has the right to express their opinions. After all, what I said might not be right.¡± ¡°But the facts have proven that you were right again.¡± ¡°That doesn¡¯t mean anything. Maybe you guys will be right next time.¡± Little Fatty shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t care. I¡¯ve decided that you¡¯re right.¡± ¡°No matter what you say in the future, I won¡¯t doubt you anymore.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± ¡­ Feng Buhuo could only smile and not say anything. There was nothing he could do. Everyone was too enthusiastic. It was nothing. He got it after thinking about it for a while. Although the half-orcs was far superior to humans in terms of physical quality, their intelligence was not as good as humans. They relied purely on their physical strength in battle. He had never heard of them know any magic. That was why Feng Buhuo decided to destroy the pillar directly. ¡°Oh right, Buhuo, what were you thinking about just now?¡± Leng Hanyan had long noticed that Feng Buhuo was a little distracted. ¡°Nothing much. I was just thinking about how to bring all these supplies back to the base.¡± ¡°Look, you all have a lot to learn from Buhuo!¡± Little Fatty quickly started flattering Buhuo again. But even if he did not say it, everyone looked at Feng Buhuo with admiration. Even Hanyan Leng was looking at him with sparkling eyes. Buhuo Feng was stunned. I just wanted to bring the supplies back to the base, and give Little Fiery barbecued meat every day. Why are you all looking at me like that? At this moment, a green figure was running at a fast speed toward Feng Buhuo and the others.. Chapter 36 - Princess Connies Transformation Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio A green light flew over. Then it landed steadily in front of Feng Buhuo and the others. It was her?! Feng Buhuo and the others were shocked for a moment by the identity of the newcomer. The newcomer was Princess Connie! However, at this moment, the arrogance on her face had long disappeared. It was replaced by panic. It was as if she was frightened by something extremely terrifying. Naturally, Feng Buhuo was full of doubts. The arrogance of this princess just now made him very unhappy. That was why he didn¡¯t take the initiative to go up and ask. However, when Princess Connie saw them, her eyes lit up. She was originally at a loss, but in an instant, she became extremely excited. ¡°It¡¯s you guys? That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Quick, there¡¯s something¡­¡± Princess Connie¡¯s body trembled as she blurted out. Her expression and mannerisms were completely different from before, causing Leng Hanyan and the others to be confused. They were only separated not long ago but this noble Princess Connie seemed to have changed into a different person. Oh, that¡¯s not right. She wasn¡¯t human, she was an elf. But no one paid attention to Princess Connie. Because her arrogance was not targeted at one person, but at the entire human race. It was her personality that made it so. Who would want to have anything to do with her? Don¡¯t forget, they saved her before, but was said to be self-acting and meddlesome. Now why would they give attention to someone who showed them the cold shoulder? Therefore, everyone went busy with their matters and they didn¡¯t even look at Princess Connie. ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Connie didn¡¯t expect that after she said this, these people would have such a reaction. She could only cough twice, trying to attract their attention, but to no avail. Feng Buhuo and the others continued to do their things, completely ignoring her. This time, Princess Connie could not help but feel a little angry. She was a princess, the princess of the elves. She should be one of the noblest creatures in the world. Since she was young, no one would turn a blind eye to her. Not to mention a lowly human! Connie snorted coldly. ¡°Did you hear what I said?¡± In the end, these words were like a drizzle that fell into the soil, and did not provoke any response. Her eyebrows were knitted into a frown. If it wasn¡¯t for the critical situation at hand, she would have long wanted to leave. Why would she waste her breath on these humans? ¡°Have you all become deaf?¡± ¡°Or have you all become mute?¡± ¡°I am the princess of the elves. I command you to answer me!¡± Connie stomped her feet and said angrily. Before she could finish her words, Feng Buhuo suddenly glared at her. His eyes were filled with coldness. In an instant, Connie felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Although Feng Buhuo wasn¡¯t very strong, he was born with a cold and aloof aura, which was intimidating to look at. In addition, the shocking scene of the half-orcs being annihilated by Little Fiery flashed in Connie¡¯s mind from time to time. She was already filled with curiosity and fear towards this human who could summon a dragon. Therefore, when Feng Buhuo glared at her, Connie swallowed back her words. After realising her cowardice, she glared back with a complicated look that was mixed with curiosity, fear and anger. However, just as she met Feng Buhuo¡¯s gaze, she subconsciously turned her head away. Feng Buhuo frowned and asked, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± They had no choice. They wanted to turn a blind eye but this princess did not seem to have any intention of leaving. Moreover, her words were getting more and more unpleasant. ¡°If you just want to show off your princess might in front of us, then let me tell you, you don¡¯t have to!¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t work on us!¡± Connie snorted and was about to speak, but Little Fatty beat her to it. ¡°That¡¯s right, if you want to show off, you can go to the orcs and see what their reaction will be.¡± Little Fatty crossed his arms and looked at the so-called princess teasingly. ¡°Little Fatty, this is not right. Are you trying to send her to her death? Haha!¡± ¡°Oh dear, I almost forgot. Without us, these elves would have been beaten to death by those half-orcs!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why no matter how foolish these elves are, they won¡¯t seek their own death a second time, right?¡± Magic Wolf knocked his head and pretended to be in disbelief. Little Fatty spread out his hands and said with a smile, ¡°Who knows? Maybe they really will do it.¡± ¡°The elves can say that we, their benefactors, were being meddlesome and just overthinking things. What else can they not do?¡± The two of them chimed in, making Connie¡¯s face turn green. She could detect the sarcasm in their conversations. Connie bit her red lips with her teeth, her delicate hands clenched into fists and her whole body was trembling in anger. ¡°You, you have all gone too far.¡± ¡°How can you say such harsh words!¡± Little Fatty squinted at her and said, ¡°Harsh words? Compared to what you said just now, I¡¯m afraid we are still not up to your level.¡± ¡°What did I say just now? Isn¡¯t what I said the truth?¡± Connie still had a righteous look on her face. Actually, in her heart, she already vaguely felt that she had done something wrong. But she didn¡¯t think about it. Anger made her blurt out her thoughts without thinking carefully. Feng Buhuo couldn¡¯t help but let out a long sigh. He couldn¡¯t help it. This Princess Connie had angered him. Some people in this world didn¡¯t know their own wrong-doing. To them, universal logic was wrong. And everything they did was just and reasonable. In fact, this was only because they had been inculcated with the wrong ideals and principles all this time. They were also victims, but their actions would make everyone extremely angry. This included Feng Buhuo and the others. Feng Buhuo waved his hand to stop Little Fatty who still wanted to argue with Connie. Such banter was meaningless. It was just an act to strive for vindication. He wanted to be straightforward. ¡°Princess Connie, what are you trying to do?¡± ¡°If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, then get lost. We have nothing to say to you.¡± Feng Buhuo waved his hand, indicating that Connie could leave. Connie, who was directly ordered to leave, was naturally furious. If she could, she wanted to turn around and leave. However, before she could think about it, her mind was filled with another scene. She knew that she could not leave now. If anyone could save them now, it would be this man in front of her. She did not care about her safety, but she had to think about her loyal guards. They had grown up with her. They had a master and servant relationship, but they were her family. Besides, if they hadn¡¯t risked their lives to save her, she would have been dead by now. So what if she suffered a little humiliation for them? Thinking of this, Connie stopped biting her thin lips and bowed slightly to Feng Buhuo. She spoke in a clear and ethereal voice which was how she would sound when she was facing her elders. ¡°Connie was overconfident and arrogant just now. I spoke without restraint and offended everyone. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Saying this seemed to have drained all of Connie¡¯s energy. Everyone was momentarily stunned by her words. They kind of understood Princess Connie¡¯s personality before. But why this sudden change? Feng Buhuo felt slightly uneasy. For Connie to show such a big transformation in attitude. It seemed likely that they were going to be in some kind of difficult situation.. Chapter 37 - What a World Devastating Beast! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Princess Connie¡¯s change in attitude stunned everyone. Especially since it happened so quickly that they were completely caught off guard. A moment ago, she was still arguing with certainty and conviction. Then, in the next moment, she was bowing her head and admitting to her mistakes. Her change in attitude was even faster than turning the pages of a book. Everyone was speechless and couldn¡¯t make heads or tails of it. Feng Buhuo was still as calm as ever and said to her, ¡°What exactly are you trying to do? If you have something to say, just say it.¡± Connie¡¯s body trembled. If you have something to say, just say it. Could it be that he has guessed my intentions? He wanted me to say it directly. Does that mean that he will help me? Actually, Feng Buhuo¡¯s original intention was not to waste time on her. However, Connie seemed to have misunderstood him. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll be straightforward.¡± Connie tried her best to calm herself down. However, her tone could not help but become a lot more hurried. ¡°We just encountered the Behemoth¡¯s attack.¡± Hiss! Good heavens, it was indeed straightforward. With just one sentence, it opened a can of worms for them and this did not bode well at all. However, Connie was oblivious to their reactions. Instead, she continued, ¡°There are at least three adult Behemoths in the abyssal forest.¡± ¡°I reckon that they are raised by the half-orcs. These Behemoths are also their trump cards.¡± ¡°Although there was only one Behemoth that attacked us just now, we suffered serious casualties as a result.¡± ¡°Two of my guards were killed by the Behemoth¡¯s single palm strike, so I can guarantee that those Behemoths are terrifying creatures with a level above S-class!¡± The corners of everyone¡¯s mouths couldn¡¯t help but twitch. Creatures above S-class? At least three of them? Are you joking with us? There was such a powerful creature in this abyssal forest! Feng Buhuo narrowed his eyes. After being transported to this world, this was the first time he will be meeting an S-class creature other than Little Fiery. ¡°Princess Connie, you¡¯re not playing with us, right?¡± ¡°There¡¯s such a powerful creature in this abyssal forest?¡± Little Fatty pouted. To be honest, this news was too mind-blowing for him that he didn¡¯t dare believe in it. ¡°Why would I play with you guys? Do I have the time to do that?¡± Connie looked extremely anxious. ¡°What I said is true. It¡¯s all thanks to my guards who helped me block that Behemoth¡¯s attack. Otherwise, I might have already died.¡± ¡°The reason why I said so much is that I hope that you can help me save my guards.¡± While Connie was explaining all these, she did look lovely and adorable. Putting away her arrogant appearance, she naturally had a persuasive power, especially when it was coupled with the helplessness and anxiety in her eyes. At least at this moment, everyone had some faith in her. Even Leng Hanyan was no exception. Of course, perhaps only Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t doubt it. Because Connie had no reason to lie to them. This was only one of the reasons. Another reason was that as the overlord of the abyssal forest, the half-orcs had occupied a territory that many races envied. But the strongest combat strength they had displayed just now was only the level of an A-class half-orc. This was obviously illogical. Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t believe that the half-orcs didn¡¯t have a trump card. If it was the Behemoth, then it made sense. Although Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t know much about this world, he knew a little about the legend of the Behemoth. The Behemoth was one of the most powerful creatures in the world. It was said that it was as big as a small mountain peak. It was hard as steel and was invulnerable to weapons. It was also terrifyingly strong, its actual strength was beyond people¡¯s imagination. However, whether Connie was telling the truth or not was another matter. They had no reason to help Connie, especially when the opponent was an S-class creature. Therefore, Feng Buhuo answered very directedly, ¡°Princess Connie, you¡¯d better leave. We can¡¯t help you with this matter.¡± ¡°No, you can!¡± Connie was very agitated and walked a few steps towards Feng Buhuo. ¡°Your summoned beast is a dragon, right? It must be above S-class, right?¡± Feng Buhuo looked at her with slight shock. S-class was not difficult to guess, but she could guess that it was a dragon. She was not so simple-minded after all. In the end, his reaction was equivalent to admitting it. Connie instantly clenched her fists, as if she had grasped onto a sliver of hope. ¡°I knew it, I knew it must be the dragon race!¡± ¡°Only the dragon race can possess the strength of an S-class when they are only a cub.¡± ¡°That has nothing to do with you!¡± Feng Buhuo waved his hand and interrupted her. ¡°So what if it¡¯s the dragon race? I have no reason to help you.¡± ¡°So don¡¯t ever think that we will help you. Just leave the place. Don¡¯t get us into trouble.¡± Connie was almost worried till death when she heard this. ¡°No, you have another reason to help me!¡± ¡°Hmph, this is strange to me. Is it because you¡¯re an elven princess?¡± Feng Buhuo sneered directly with disdain in his eyes. ¡°No, that¡¯s not it. As long as you help us, I will give you generous resources as a reward!¡± ¡°But that¡¯s not what you said just now. You said it was wishful thinking on our part to save you guys.¡± Connie instantly panicked, her eyes were looking left and right as she tried to come up with a good reason for them to help her. ¡°I said the wrong things just now. Let me¡­ let me apologize to you, okay?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too late. Who knows if your apology is sincere or fake.¡± ¡°When something happens, you degrade yourself and ask for help. When you don¡¯t need our help, you become arrogant and disdainful.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen too many people like you!¡± Feng Buhuo¡¯s words instantly resonated with Little Fatty and the others. When something is useful to you, you will remember it. If it¡¯s not, you just throw it aside. Why, are you treating us like tools? We are not at your beck and call! Connie felt something pressing on her chest. This pressure was making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Especially Little Fatty and the others who were also looking at her with disgust. ¡°Then what should I do so that you can believe me?!¡± She was close to tears already. Feng Buhuo opened his mouth and was about to speak. Suddenly, the ground started to tremble. Everyone started to shake following the trembles, and they were shocked stiff. Connie¡¯s eyes widened. A deep fear instantly covered her eyes. It caused her eyes to lose their lustre. ¡°The Behemoth!¡± Although she had not seen the Behemoth yet, she was extremely certain. Because it was the same scenario earlier on. First, the earth trembled, and then, a figure that blotted out the sky appeared and with one palm, slapped two of her guards to death! There was completely no chance for resistance. It was either escape or die! Feng Buhuo and the others felt their hearts beating wildly. They had already felt a terrifying pressure. As the earth trembled, their hearts pounded. Once, twice¡­ The sky suddenly became dark. It was like a mountain. A fierce and hairy mountain. It rose from the ground to a height of one hundred meters. What a world devastating beast! Chapter 38 - The Behemoth Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The sun setting in the dusk was obscured. The dense forest was shrouded in darkness by a huge shadow. Connie was flustered and subconsciously moved closer to Feng Buhuo. The eyes of Little Fatty and the others flashed with panic and fear. What kind of giant beast was this? It was a hundred meters tall and its body was like a small mountain. Its bones were like copper pipes and its limbs were alike iron rods. Its arms were almost as long as its body. Its huge palms were even bigger than its head. Its nails were like sharpened logs. It was as if one strike from its palm could turn an elephant into a flattened meat patty. Feng Buhuo raised his head and narrowed his eyes. His gaze swept across the Behemoth like a scanner. Every muscle in its body made people tremble with fear. It was worthy of being called the most powerful beast in the legends. This kind of pressure in the absence of anger was only slightly inferior to Little Fiery of the dragon race. The Behemoth also seemed to feel something. Its huge head slowly lowered. Its eyes were like two huge fireballs, making one feel a burning pain just by looking at them. In the next moment, it suddenly let out an angry roar. ¡°Roar!¡± The angry roar shook the entire universe. Its huge mouth, which was as black as the abyss, spewed out a disgusting breath. Its huge teeth that were as sharp as blades were covered with a pungent smell from its saliva. Little Fatty and the others were frightened by its angry roar and retreated in fear. At this moment, what they heard was the demon¡¯s whisper. It was deep, dark, oppressive and fearful. ¡°This is the Behemoth, now you should believe me!¡± Connie stammered. She had personally witnessed the Behemoth¡¯s terror. So she was more shocked than everyone else. ¡°Hmph, it was you who lured this monster here, and you still have the nerve to say it!¡± Little Fatty was completely furious because of the extreme fear. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you, it wouldn¡¯t have found us.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Connie wanted to say that this Behemoth wasn¡¯t the one that attacked them just now. Her guards were still sniping at the other Behemoth. But what was the point of saying that? If it wasn¡¯t for this thing on her, none of this would have happened. So in the end, it was indeed because of her that these humans had fallen into this predicament. However, she had no choice. The only thing she could rely on now was Feng Buhuo, and that little thing that was resting on Feng Buhuo¡¯s shoulder, the one that helmed from the dragon race. ¡°Enough! Now is not the time to talk about this.¡± ¡°Princess Connie, since this is a problem that you have caused, you should resolve it yourself.¡± Feng Buhuo did not want to become her shield for no reason. She had ulterior motives for being submissive to them just now. ¡°You should know better than us why these monsters attacked you.¡± ¡°It must be because of that thing that you and the half-orcs were fighting for.¡± ¡°If you still want to save your life, I advise you to return that thing to them.¡± Hearing this, Connie¡¯s expression changed. Under the current circumstances, she couldn¡¯t return it to them. But Feng Buhuo¡¯s attitude was so cold. It¡¯s all my fault. Why did I act so rashly just now? Why did I say those words that I didn¡¯t want to say? At this moment, she seemed to have lost all support and her body went limp. Her voice became weak. ¡°It¡¯s useless. Even if we return it now, it¡¯s still useless.¡± ¡°They won¡¯t let us go. The Behemoths are a bunch of irrational beasts that only know how to kill.¡± ¡°None of us can escape. There are only two outcomes.¡± ¡°Either you kill these guys, or we¡¯ll be killed by this guy.¡± Leng Hanyan opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But she did not say it in the end because she knew that Connie was telling the truth. She turned her gaze to look at Feng Buhuo. At this moment, Feng Buhuo was looking up at the Behemoth. The thick air that was coming out of Behemoth¡¯s two nostrils blasted out like heatwaves. Its fierce eyes were also staring at Feng Buhuo. To be precise, it was staring at Little Fiery who was on Feng Buhuo¡¯s shoulder. Because this little guy gave off a faint type of oppressive power. Feng Buhuo did not turn his gaze away, nor did he run away. His expression was incomparably calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. Feng Buhuo was also conflicted. He also knew that Connie was right. The Behemoth wouldn¡¯t let them off. What he was thinking about now was whether or not Little Fiery could defeat this Behemoth. If it was an S-class dragon against an S-class Behemoth, he believed that the dragon race would win, because they were dragons! The word ¡°dragon¡± represented the strongest power! But Little Fiery was only a dragon whelp. Could a dragon whelp defeat an adult Behemoth? If not, they might have to run away. ¡°Little Fiery, can you defeat this guy?¡± Feng Buhuo turned his head and asked Little Fiery in a low voice. In the end, Little Fiery, who was sleeping on his shoulder, only yawned. It casually glanced at the big guy with its drowsy eyes. Then, it continued to lie down and sleep. It was obvious that it didn¡¯t take the big guy seriously. Feng Buhuo couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed. Little Fiery¡¯s reaction helped to increase his confidence. Meanwhile, the Behemoth, which had been staring at Feng Buhuo and Little Fiery, suddenly changed its expression. It was the most powerful beast, so it naturally had its pride. But now, this confusing little fellow dared to show such a disdainful look at it. The feeling of humiliation instantly triggered the Behemoth. ¡°Roar!¡± Heatwaves gushed out of the Behemoth¡¯s mouth. Its huge palm blotted out the sky and covered the sun. In an instant, it sent a large area of trees flying away. Then, the swing of its palm brought with it an extremely powerful hurricane as it ruthlessly smashed towards Feng Buhuo. ¡°Little Fiery!¡± Feng Buhuo focused his gaze as he hurriedly patted Little Fiery¡¯s chubby body. At the same time, his body was thrown back by the force from the Behemoth¡¯s palm. The power exerted from the Behemoth¡¯s palm could be said to be earth-shattering. Its palm had not fallen yet, but the trees had already begun to shake and the Earth began to tremble. Connie, Leng Hanyan and the others were all shocked, and their expressions turned extremely ugly. This Behemoth¡¯s might was completely beyond their imagination. The aura of death instantly overwhelmed them. At this moment, everyone was filled with worry and doubt. It was true that Little Fiery was an S-class dragon. But Little Fiery was only a cub. Could it really defeat an S-class Behemoth? Don¡¯t forget, this Behemoth was one of the most powerful creatures among the beasts. Seeing that the giant palm was about to descend, everyone felt as if the end had arrived. Suddenly, Little Fiery, who was on Feng Buhuo¡¯s shoulder, opened its eyes and instantly soared into the air and let out an angry roar. An invisible wave of air, with Little Fiery as the center, instantly spread out in all directions. All the trees seemed to have been hit by a powerful impact. In an instant, the leaves fell. The palm of the Behemoth stopped in mid-air. Everyone suddenly looked up at Little Fiery in the air. Connie¡¯s face was full of excitement.. Chapter 39 - Little Fierys True Strength! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In mid-air, Little Fiery flapped its tiny wings. The Behemoth¡¯s huge sharp claws stopped just inches away from it. In the end, it did not strike down its palm. This little fellow that suddenly floated in the sky made it feel vaguely uneasy. Although beasts weren¡¯t smart, they were extremely sensitive to danger. This little fellow was definitely an extremely powerful opponent! Connie¡¯s gaze was fixed on Little Fiery who was in the air. At this moment, her heart was beating wildly. To her, this was also a gamble. A gamble in which the outcome was unpredictable, but it was enough to decide everything. Her life, her bodyguard¡¯s life and her younger brother¡¯s life all depended on Little Fiery. Leng Hanyan and the others also had their hearts in their throats. Although Little Fiery was powerful, this was the first time it was encountering an S-class opponent. So, would it be able to obtain the final victory? No one dared to guarantee it. Feng Buhuo looked at Little Fiery and the Behemoth who were facing each other in the air. He was extremely excited in his heart. As a member of the dragon race, Little Fiery had never met an opponent that could fully release its potential. Therefore, Feng Buhuo was very curious about Little Fiery¡¯s true capabilities. The dragons were legendary powerful creatures. When facing an opponent of the same level, would it have an overwhelming advantage? Little Fiery didn¡¯t make him wait too long for this answer. In the next moment, Little Fiery took the initiative to attack. Because it could feel that if it didn¡¯t attack first, the Behemoth wouldn¡¯t dare to make the first move and they would end up in a stalemate. It didn¡¯t want to continue wasting time with this big guy. It swung its tail, and a light blade shot toward the Behemoth. The Behemoth didn¡¯t dare to be careless, and its huge palms struck out, creating a whole gale. The fierce and endless wind blew away thousands of trees in an instant. The Behemoth held the light blade in its hand, and then suddenly clenched it. The light blade instantly turned into light spots and dissipated. The colour in the faces of Connie and the others were drained away. They didn¡¯t expect that the Behemoth would be able to counterattack Little Fiery¡¯s move so easily with one crush. The situation didn¡¯t seem optimistic. The Behemoth was indeed a bit delighted. To the Behemoth, Little Fiery¡¯s attack was average. There was absolutely nothing worth praising. However, Little Fiery wasn¡¯t surprised. If you were close enough to it, you could even hear its cold snort. That was just a random move it had made. There was a price to pay for looking down on it! ¡°Roar!¡± The next moment, there was a turning point. Although Little Fiery¡¯s roar wasn¡¯t as loud as that of the Behemoth, the power contained within its roar was even greater. A faintly discernible enormous phantom instantly appeared behind Little Fiery. That phantom was enormous and majestic and it seemed to have the power to crush everything. The Behemoth¡¯s body suddenly trembled. It truly felt the intimidating pressure from this phantom that originated from its bloodline. This pressure made it have the urge to prostrate on the ground. Feng Buhuo stared at this scene closely. That huge phantom made his blood boil. It was extremely familiar and filled him with excitement. Could it be that it was an adult dragon? The next moment, Little Fiery made its move. Or it was the phantom that moved. The phantom¡¯s huge head faced the sky and roared. An extremely dense blazing flame surged out like a volcano eruption. The dim twilight was instantly coloured a fiery red. The endless burning clouds spread far and beyond sight. The entire world seemed to have become a fiery red world. In this world, this little fellow was the master, the one that controlled everything. The Behemoth trembled furiously, its legs were shaking unrelentingly. It had never experienced such power before, this suffocating kind of pressure. It was the most powerful beast in the world, so powerful that it could destroy an entire forest! Therefore it despised this feeling very much because it felt weak and inferior. It wouldn¡¯t admit defeat so easily, but this small guy in front of it was giving it an extreme sense of danger. ¡°Roar!¡± A deep roar resounded throughout the sky. The Behemoth¡¯s expression instantly became vicious. It crazily waved both its palms in the air as if they were cutting through the void. Its enormous body was like a black hole that could swallow everything as it suddenly blasted towards Little Fiery. Little Fiery calmly opened its mouth and spat out. In the infinite distance, the endless flames seemed to have received some sort of calling. The scorching aura instantly ignited countless trees and flowers. The air was burning intensely, and the flames also emitted an extremely dazzling light. This light forced everyone to close their eyes. It was as if they were to take one more look, their bodies would also start burning. Leng Hanyan and the others started breathing rapidly. This move from Little Fiery made them feel like they were as small as ants. Under this kind of power, they were just ants that could be destroyed with a snap of the fingers. Everyone knew that this was the moment of life and death. However, the dazzling light forced them to shut their eyes. Boom! Hula! A deafening loud sound exploded in the air. It shook everyone¡¯s eardrums and caused a tearing pain. A huge heat wave swept over all of them in an instant. Everyone was sent flying into the air. They were forcefully sent back hundreds of meters before they barely managed to land on the ground. The sudden change of events caused them to open their eyes in fear. At that moment, it was as if they had truly experienced the apocalypse. When they opened their eyes, everything in front of them was like a sledgehammer, fiercely hitting their hearts. The Behemoth that had blotted out the sky had disappeared. The red clouds had disappeared. There was only a solitary sun in the sky. The half-orcs¡¯ camp had become ruins. Many of the prey had become corpses, lying on the ground. It was as if the forest had been turned upside down. Countless trees had been uprooted, and the soil was scattered everywhere. It was a terrible mess! Everyone was speechless. They couldn¡¯t believe that this was a sight created by the power of living creatures. This was the appearance of the real apocalypse! Little Fiery slowly flew towards Feng Buhuo, its face not giving a care to the world. It was as if what had just happened wasn¡¯t worth mentioning. The huge phantom behind it had disappeared. That incomparable pressure had also disappeared. When Feng Buhuo saw this scene, he was extremely excited. He couldn¡¯t even feel the faint burning pain from his body. If an S-class dragon whelp already possessed such powerful strength, then how about an SS-class dragon? At this moment, he truly saw hope. He saw hope that he could change this apocalyptic world! Upgrade! What he needed to do was to upgrade Little Fiery¡¯s ability! Connie looked at Little Fiery who was lazily lying on Feng Buhuo¡¯s shoulder once again, and there was a surge of emotions in her heart. The dragon race! As expected of the most powerful creature in the world! Even an S-class Behemoth couldn¡¯t withstand the dragon¡¯s fatal blow! At this moment, as she looked at Feng Buhuo and Little Fiery, there was a desire in her eyes, the desire to obtain them. She knew that she had found the power to change everything! Chapter 40 - The SS-class Source Core? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Connie took a few deep breaths before she managed to stay calm and regain some composure. A thought-provoking light flashed across her eyes. She knew that she had to make a decision now. She slowly walked to the front of Feng Buhuo and placed her left hand on her chest. Then, in front of Leng Hanyan and the others, she bowed to Feng Buhuo. Leng Hanyan and the others were stunned. This was a kind of etiquette of the elves. Usually, they would only do this kind of etiquette in front of higher-level leaders. Although Buhuo Feng and the others didn¡¯t know the elves¡¯ etiquette, they could sense what Connie was trying to express. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Feng Buhuo frowned. Being so humble was out of character for Princess Connie. ¡°Your Excellency, Connie once again apologize to you.¡± Connie straightened her body and her gaze fell on Feng Buhuo. From time to time, she would secretly glance at the laid-back Little Fiery on his shoulder. After witnessing Little Fiery¡¯s powerful strength, when she looked at this dragon whelp closely, she could not help but feel surging waves of shock in her heart. ¡°It was all Connie¡¯s fault. I offended you with my words. I hope you can forgive me.¡± ¡°I also want to thank you for helping me. Without you, I¡¯m afraid Connie would be dead by now.¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re wrong. Without us, you would have been dead when you were attacked by those half-orcs.¡± Feng Buhuo waved his hand impatiently and interrupted her. ¡°Moreover, you didn¡¯t say that before. Did you forget that you said we were overthinking things?¡± ¡°So please don¡¯t misunderstand this time. We¡¯re not trying to save you, we¡¯re just trying to save ourselves.¡± Connie¡¯s face instantly turned red. She wanted to find a hole to hide in. But when she thought of her guards, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, she felt a burst of strength. ¡°You are angry, Connie understands.¡± ¡°But Connie does need your help with something. As long as you can help, Connie will definitely give you a generous gift!¡± ¡°Forget it, we don¡¯t want to get involved in your matters!¡± Feng Buhuo directly rejected her. He did not want to have anything to do with Princess Connie anymore. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Feng Buhuo walked past Connie and waved his hand. Leng Hanyan, Little Fatty and the others saw this gesture and quickly followed behind. This Princess Connie is really something. She provoked such a terrifying opponent for us. If it wasn¡¯t for Little Fiery¡¯s astonishing power, we would have all died here today. It was already good enough that she didn¡¯t throw her temper at us, but she still had the cheek to ask us for help? Connie saw that Feng Buhuo didn¡¯t waver at all and directly left. She was instantly shocked. This was her only hope now. If she still couldn¡¯t grab hold of it, then it would be true despair. Thus, she quickly walked in front of no doubts and stretched out her arms to block his path. ¡°Listen to me¡­¡± Feng Buhuo¡¯s expression immediately darkened when he was blocked by her. Little Fatty, who was behind him, could not hold it in any longer. He directly walked up and pointed at Connie and started scolding her. ¡°What are you trying to do? We¡¯ve already said that we won¡¯t help you.¡± ¡°Why are you still like a piece of tape, sticking on us like that!¡± Connie was instantly stunned. Since she was young, when had she ever been scolded like this? Her eyes were filled with tears. She lowered her head and said slowly. ¡°Do you know what we are fighting with the half-orcs for?¡± Connie¡¯s voice was very soft, and there was even a hint of crying in it. However, when Feng Buhuo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Leng Hanyan and the others immediately became interested. In fact, they were all very interested in this thing. To be able to cause these two races to fight, this thing was a treasure. It was probably even more valuable than the resources found in the entire half-orcs¡¯ camp! Otherwise, the half-orcs would not have left behind their defences and gone all out to surround Connie and her elves. Seeing their reactions, Connie naturally understood everything. She could not help but sigh as if she had made up her mind. ¡°Since things have come to this point, I might as well tell you all.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure you all know about the source core. What we are fighting for is a source core.¡± Feng Buhuo and the others did not have much of a reaction. This was indeed within their expectations. Other than the source core, what else was worth fighting for? Connie did not expect them to be so calm. She could only laugh bitterly. ¡°This is not an ordinary source core, but¡­¡± She did not continue. The magic staff in her hand suddenly flashed with a bright light. A crystal suddenly appeared in her hand. At this moment, everyone¡¯s eyes widened. Their breathing became extremely rapid. The scene before them seemed so unbelievable. They only saw an exquisite and shiny crystal lying quietly on Connie¡¯s hand. The shiny crystal emitted a dazzling red light. Red light! Feng Buhuo suddenly trembled. Red colour, that was an SS-class source core! It was exactly the material needed to help Little Fiery level up! As long as he had this source core, Little Fiery had the possibility of advancing to an SS-class dragon. Its power would increase to another level. By that time, if the legendary SSS-class does not appear, Little Fiery would be invincible! Who in the world could compete with it? In an instant, countless thoughts flooded Feng Buhuo¡¯s mind. This source core was too important to him. It was so important that even Little Fiery, who was on his shoulder, also looked different. The laziness had all disappeared. Its eyes were burning as it stared at the source core in Connie¡¯s hand. This thing that was emitting red light was like a magnet. It attracted its gaze and attention. Leng Hanyan¡¯s eyes focused as she turned to look at Feng Buhuo, ¡°Buhuo, you¡­¡± Needless to say, her heart was extremely complicated at this moment. Feng Buhuo naturally understood her meaning. And Little Fatty and the others also understood. Connie understood even more. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have taken this thing out at this moment. All the living beings in this world knew. An SS-class source core was extremely attractive to an S-class living being! Connie secretly smiled. She was very satisfied with this result. ¡°You should know what level this source core is, right?¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this dragon whelp just happens to need this source core.¡± Feng Buhuo exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and his expression returned to normal. ¡°What do you mean by this?¡± ¡°This is the generous reward I was talking about. How is it? Are you satisfied?¡± What? She was willing to use this thing as a reward to get their help? Everyone was surprised by this. After all, an SS-class source core was something that could only be found by luck. However, Feng Buhuo was not excited because of this. His intuition told him that this matter was not that easy. ¡°Tell me what you want.¡± Feng Buhuo said calmly. However, Connie was full of pride. She was very confident in this temptation..
