Chapter Forty-Two: Taking This Thing Will Lead to Death

In the dense fog, Lefty burst in, his face full of anxiety, with a lively Little Lord Yellow bouncing along behind him.

As soon as Little Lord Yellow saw me, he became excited and immediately leaped into my pocket.

Seeing that I was unharmed, Lefty asked, “Where’s the marten?”

I felt uneasy, unsure how to answer him, and instead asked, “You mean…”

The city’s commander was ashamed; he should never have let Jin Liu and the others enter the city. Now, shamelessly continuing to pressure his colleagues below the walls, he was truly disgracing himself.

Yet when Lin Yang spoke up, Anbo was left speechless. Gwenlaia had already told him everything that had happened because of Sifna, and he knew clearly what kind of pressure Lin Yang would face if he chose to protect Sifna.

Now, when they were robbing the fat sheep, nearly the entire twenty-person team was mobilized. According to their plan, after removing the heads and dividing the spoils, each person could get at least six pounds of meat and bone. If they weren’t picky, there was even the option to stew the brains.

This was truly a good thing. Not to mention, the golden honor cards “Jaina Proudmoore” and “Grom Hellscream” had cost him huge effort to summon piece by piece; it would be a shame for them to become obsolete before being put to use. Ascending to three stars was naturally excellent.

Ning Zhiyuan, who had been silent, let out a cold snort and spoke up—not as angrily as the coachman had expected, but rather with remarkable calm.

“What did she say?” As Cherry emerged, Zhou Muzhe’s attention snapped back, a little nervous. Yangtao held absolute authority over her sisters’ affairs and was fiercely protective of them. Zhou Muzhe knew this well. He wasn’t afraid of the Prince or Princess, nor of Zhou Mingyuan or Yao Keling; his greatest concern was Yangtao intervening to stop him and Cherry.

“Click, it’s still not right, not quite the feeling,” Old Ghost said. Fatty Lan Mengmeng and the others beside him nodded in agreement.

In truth, even if all three heroes joined forces, or even any two among them, Mo Yan could not escape unscathed.

Though he was bound by family ties in the county of Ben Gang within Hongmen, he was equally driven by his yearning for a better life.

Jie Tianyu came to the pharmaceutical factory with two matters to address. First was how to launch the new medicine from the well into the market, and second, to continue the research on the crude oil excavated from Bone City.

Blaze was indeed a conflicted fellow. In Atlantis, terrified of the Water Elemental Collective, he hid his presence and refused to show himself. Yet, as soon as they left, Blaze wanted to seek out the Water Elemental Collective for information.

Thus, Chen Ji’s so-called homeland’s Church, apart from handling some classified missions themselves, had outsourced most adventure tasks to the Adventurers’ Guild. The Church focused its energy on recruiting followers and mediating the wars among various races, gradually earning a good reputation across the continent.

Of course, Liu Yihua did not deliberately neglect Li Shanshan; he had Yingla accompany her.

When her horse’s forefeet touched solid ground, she did something utterly unexpected—she turned her mount around and departed without a backward glance, as if she had suddenly appeared only to vanish in surprise.

When the sharp giant claw attacked, she simply unleashed a burst of flame, incinerating the reckless enemy into scraps of melted metal. Even with artifact-level physical strength, the claw of the zombified dragon could not withstand the destructive force of the fire.

Devouring oceans, devouring earth, devouring life—the power consumed everything edible, swelling madly. He even witnessed the so-called immortal Dark God Clan swept up and ground to fragments, and less than half a second later, he too plunged into eternal darkness.

His strongest Hydra, his transformation into the Lightning Eagle, all had taken more than ten years to fully master. For that, he spent most of his life in the wilderness, nearly becoming a wild man himself.
