"Isn't this a bit too weak? I didn't even use any strength." Glancing at the mantis monster's shattered body, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Although it is a good thing that the monster is killed instantly by oneself, the gap is too big. It is just like a max-level character crushing the monsters in the Novice Village dungeon. It is meaningless. To be honest, since she has traveled to another world, she is quite looking forward to a thrilling adventure battle. The result seems to be a little different from what I imagined... "Forget it, let's get out of the forest first and see if we can encounter any human settlements." After walking for another ten minutes, a chaotic shouting suddenly sounded not far away, mixed with the crackling sound of footsteps, as if a large group of people were hurriedly responding to something. “…left, left, left!” “Up, up, up!” "Here! Come on! Come on!"
Human voice? Qi Ji thought about it and decided to go and see what was going on. Chapter 2 Fierce battle in the forest "Boom!" Staring at the skull ghost with bared fangs and claws in front of him, Lanchester felt terrible. This time the hunt went surprisingly smoothly. With the help of the adventurer team, the Cyclops lurking deep in the forest was easily eliminated... Of course, the greatest credit goes to myself! If he hadn't been brave and fearless, personally deploying and commanding the troops at the front line, this group of rough adventurers would definitely not be able to deal with a C-level alien species like the Cyclops... "Lancaster, be careful!" A clear and pleasant exclamation brought his thoughts back to reality, and he immediately rolled sideways. Almost at the same time, a gray-green shadow attacked, fiercely pounced on Lanchester's original position, and the heavy force smashed up a cloud of dust! "Boom!" Barely avoiding the dangerous attack, Lanchester stood hastily. His exquisite leather armor was covered with dust, and his dazzling red short hair was messy, looking very embarrassed. "Damn it, it's all the fault of these useless adventurers, otherwise why would I be so hasty?!" he cursed in a deep voice. This must be the case! The Skull Ghost is just a C-level alien, the same level as the Cyclops. How could it be possible that the Cyclops could be easily defeated by him, but the Skull Ghost would be in a mess? This doesn't make sense! It must be the fault of those adventurers! Who told them to disobey my orders and act on their own? If these lowly and despicable civilians could follow my orders, there wouldn't be such a big problem! "Swipe!" A series of sharp whistling sounds! Several arrows pierced the skull ghost in the smoke and dust at a high speed, but were all bounced off by its hard and smooth shell, making a clanging sound and leaving several shallow and deep scratches. "Hey, you bunch of cowards, what's the point of just shooting arrows?! Can't you see that you can't even pierce its shell!" Lanchester shouted angrily, "You only know how to hide in the distance and shoot arrows. Are the swords on your waists just for show?!" Not far away, seven or eight men in worn leather armor were arranged in a dispersed but orderly formation, holding bows and crossbows, ready for battle. The wave of arrows just now was fired by them. They were the group of adventurers hired by Baron Augustus Lionsmith to assist Lanchester in hunting the Cyclops.
Hearing Lanchester's rebuke, everyone in the team looked bitter. A middle-aged man with a scar on his face shouted at Lanchester: "Master, this is not how you fight a Skull Ghost! You'd better step back, we're afraid of accidentally hurting someone..." "Coward!" Lanchester interrupted the scarred man's explanation with disdain and dodged the skull ghost's next attack. What a joke! As the only son of Baron Augustus Lionsmith, he is not only of noble birth, but also extremely gifted in the way of warriors. He has reached the pinnacle of tempering skills at the age of only twenty. This progress is rare among his peers... At least that's what people around him say. Anyway, how could I, a child of destiny, do such a cowardly thing as hiding from the enemy and shooting arrows from behind? A real man should face the enemy head-on! He bravely swung the two-handed sword in his hand and chopped at the skull ghost with all his strength, creating a wound on the latter's body... which seemed not much deeper than the arrow mark. The scarred man's mouth twitched, but it was unrealistic to give a long explanation before the battle, so he could only order the team members to pay attention to Lanchester and prepare for the next round of arrow rain. Lanchester did the same thing when he fought the Cyclops before. He picked up his sword and went to fight without saying anything. Fortunately, although the Cyclops's attack was powerful, its reaction was relatively slow and clumsy. The relatively small size of humans did have a certain advantage in hand-to-hand combat. So as the captain, the scarred man simply let Lanchester take his own course and let the team members follow his command to draw their swords and engage in close combat with the Cyclops. But the skull ghost is different. If he fights like this, someone might die. As the captain of the team, Scar Man must be responsible for the lives of his team members. "Miss Lunxi, please persuade the young master," one of the team members asked in a low voice to a slender figure beside him during the interval between shooting arrows, "It's difficult for us to deal with this." She was a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pretty face, shoulder-length chestnut hair, dark green eyes, and delicate and lovely facial features. She was a very elegant and beautiful girl. "Uh..." The girl called Lunxi looked embarrassed. After some observation, she realized that it was not suitable to fight with this mantis-like and fast-moving alien at close range, otherwise it would be the one who suffered. The correct approach would be to do as the adventurer team did, shooting arrows from a long distance to slowly wear down its strength, while at the same time creating wounds on its shell as much as possible to cause it to bleed. Wait until it is exhausted and then go forward to finish it off with a long weapon... In any case, it is definitely not a reckless way to fight like Lanchester. Lunxi shouted to the figure who was fighting the skull ghost: "Lancaster, come back first! It's very dangerous." "Haha! You don't have to worry, Lunxi." Lanchester understood these words as a sign of concern for his safety, which aroused his already overflowing competitive spirit and made him more confident. "A mere skeleton ghost is just a stepping stone on my road to promotion!" "..." Lunxi covered his face, speechless. On a big tree dozens of meters away. Qi Ji stood on a tree branch, looking down at the fierce battle not far away. ...Is this mantis monster so strong? A large group of people couldn't deal with it after struggling for so long? "Do you want some help?" She stroked her chin in thought. The touch of her fingertips, as moist as a baby's, made her feel excited. If she was willing to take action, this seemingly invincible mantis monster could be dealt with in an instant, and it couldn't even be called a battle. After all, the first creature she killed when she woke up was this thing. It was not difficult at all. It just stood there and couldn't break her defense no matter how hard it attacked. But if we do this, it will easily cause some conflicts of interest. The group of people and the mantis monster fought fiercely, and it was difficult to tell who was winning for a while. In other words, this was a conflict of equal strength, and they had a chance of winning. If she went over and killed the monster without permission, it would be suspected of stealing the kill.
If there is some treasure on the monster, and this group of people fight it just to get the treasure, but when the fight is in full swing they suddenly appear and kill the monster, then who will own the good things on the monster? It’s troublesome just thinking about it. Qi Ji didn't understand the rules of how they divided the profits, so to be on the safe side, he decided to maintain a good competitive spirit and just watch the show without getting involved. "Look at my swordsmanship!" Lanchester roared, and gathered all his strength. His sword came out like a dragon, and he stabbed the skull ghost hard in the side! I have to say that this is indeed a very skilled sword move. If one does not have a certain level of control over oneself, it cannot be performed at all. The lethality of this stab was indeed considerable: the sharp sword tip instantly pierced through the gray-green bone armor, penetrating dozens of centimeters into the skull ghost's body, and blood splattered everywhere! Suffering an unprecedented heavy blow, the Skull Ghost suddenly became violent, swinging its huge body wildly and throwing Lanchester out. "Hmph, see? This is the strength of this young master!" Lanchester landed steadily with a proud look on his face. He swung his sword sideways, leaving a half circle of green blood on the ground. His posture was very handsome. "Damn it, this idiot angered the Skull Ghost prematurely!" Scarred Man's face turned black, and he hurriedly shouted to the team members: "The Skull Ghost has entered a furious state, everyone please be prepared for the attack!" "Oh!" As soon as he finished speaking, the skull ghost, with blood gushing out, became like a trapped beast. Its green eyes flashed with cruel and murderous light. It rushed around without any reason at all, trampling everything in its path! Wherever it passed, there was a mess. Even trees as thick as bowls would collapse and break at the touch, and could not hinder its pace at all. How could a mortal body withstand the impact of a body weighing several hundred kilograms? The adventurers dodged one after another, not daring to touch its edge. Lunxi also hurriedly dodged. But perhaps because she was a little slow in reacting, the skull ghost's deformed head twisted and just met her eyes. Then, the skull ghost bent its legs and rushed straight towards Lunxi! "Oh no... Miss Lunxi, be careful!" Seeing this, the scarred man was terrified. Although the first priority was the safety of the team members, if any of the two noble heirs they were protecting were to encounter any misfortune, they would not be able to bear the responsibility. Lunxi dodged hastily, but the speed of the skull ghost's furious charge was too fast, and just as she moved, the body with a shadow passed by her side. "what!" Although she was not hit directly, the skull ghost's sturdy limbs still scraped her torso. Instantly, an irresistible force threw her out and she fell heavily to the ground! Lunxi was so dizzy from the fall that he almost passed out. No... Don't faint! You must stand up! Otherwise... You will die! A strong sense of crisis overwhelmed her heart. Lunxi endured the pain and struggled to stand up, but the severe pain made her unable to move. "Bang bang bang!" The sound of life-threatening footsteps was approaching rapidly. As soon as she turned her head to look, the gray-green color that meant death had filled her vision. "Wait, don't..." The sharp and heavy claws smashed down mercilessly!
Lunxi was not a delicate daughter who knew nothing about martial arts, otherwise she would not have been called by her father to go hunting with Lanchester in the Great Forest. But facing the C-level alien at this distance and in this posture, she really could not do anything, and her mind was blank. Lanchester had never expected things to turn out like this, and he stood there at a loss as to what to do. The scarred man held his breath, knowing that Lunxi was dead. He began to plan how to escape overnight, as he couldn't stay in this area anymore. The other adventurers also showed expressions of regret and turned their eyes away from the bloody and cruel scene. Seeing that Lunxi was about to die, everything seemed doomed. "Bang!!!" However, what reached my ears was not the despairing sound of flesh being torn apart! Instead, it was a dull sound...like something heavy suddenly hitting or falling? Doubts arose in everyone's hearts, and they carefully turned their eyes back to the scene - Therefore, silence became the only theme at this moment. Chapter 3 Initial Communication "Is everything okay?" Without even looking at the mantis monster that was blurred into a ball in the distance, Qi Ji clapped his hands in disgust and said to the chestnut-haired girl who was lying on the ground and still a little confused. Not meddling in other people's business is one thing, but watching someone in danger without helping is another. She couldn't just stand by and do nothing when someone was about to die, especially when she was fully capable of doing it. The chestnut-haired girl recovered a little, raised her upper body with some difficulty, and while thanking him, she looked at Qi Ji: "Ahem...I'm fine, thank you...mm!" However, when her gaze moved to Qi Ji's face, she froze in place, her eyes wide open, her dark green pupils revealing great shock. ...Huh? What does this mean? Qi Ji was suddenly surprised. Although according to observation, the strength he showed was definitely far beyond that of this group of people, it was normal for them to be shocked by this. But the chestnut-haired girl's expression at this moment was definitely not one of shock at her power, but something else... Turning her head and looking around, she found that everyone else's eyes were the same as the chestnut-haired girl's, staring at her in a daze, as if time had stopped. "Hiss..." Qi Ji felt the atmosphere was getting strange. "What... is wrong with you?" She reminded tentatively after a while. Then, a series of uproars broke the silence in an instant. "Oh my god, is this really a beauty that can exist in reality?!" "Himmler, hit me! Hit me quickly! I want to confirm whether I am dreaming now!" "By the grace of God..." “It’s so great to be alive in this world!” "H-Hmph! Hmmmmmm!"
"It's mass hysteria." "Ah this..." Qi Ji was overwhelmed by the series of flattery, and the words he had prepared were choked in his throat. .9. Although I didn’t have a mirror or water before, and couldn’t see my appearance directly, but the moist and tender skin, the slender and soft figure, the long black and smooth hair, the ordinary chest... ahem, this is ignored... In short, Qi Ji is very clear that his appearance must be good. But this kind of reaction... how can it be beautiful? It's already a mental shock...
