One middle-aged man, forty-seven years old, was waving vigorously at the three, and Lin Nuoyi's expression seemed a bit off, but the other two didn't notice.
Zhu Qiang looked at the scene ahead and said:
"Brother Chen, what should we do now? Do we save these people or not?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, "We have to kill these two monsters anyway, so let's save these people while we're at it."
In truth, Ye Chen had no hopes for these people, because even if they were saved, they would hardly survive.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Prepare to make a move!"
Only two monsters remained in front of them.
They were an LV6 stone bird and an LV5 ice worm.
Blood Asura had now appeared.
Always ready to charge forward.
Blood Asura was born bloodthirsty, inherently enjoying taking lives.
Lin Nuoyi's Beauty Snake had already quietly encircled them.
Ye Chen seized the right moment and shouted loudly.
"Charge!"
The figures of the three flashed quickly.
A moment later, they were beside the two monsters.
The ice worm moved slowly, with low attack power, making it a secondary target.
The stone bird was agile, making direct confrontation troublesome, so Ye Chen ordered the two to first ambush the stone bird.
The stone bird was currently destructively tearing the remaining buildings, sticking its head into a shattered hole.
Now's the time!
The figure of Blood Asura suddenly appeared, and the Thunder Shocking Blade swung swiftly!
A blow landed on the stone bird's neck!
-900!
The Beauty Snake spat a jet of venom, spraying it onto the wound on the stone bird's neck.
The venom entered the bloodstream, increasing the damage.
-100!
-90!
-110!
The stone bird let out a shrill scream, trying to pull its head out.
Piggy Dragon wouldn't give it the chance, grunting and leaping!
"Oink oink!"
Piggy Dragon jumped onto the stone bird's neck, executing a Rushing Forward.
Its hefty weight pinned the stone bird's head down.
Blood Asura's body glowed red again, and the Thunder Shocking Blade was surrounded by a hint of lightning.
Blood Asura used a skill.
Critical Strike!
-1300!
The stone bird didn't have much blood volume, just a few strikes, and it was killed.
As the stone bird's movements were restricted, this hunt was relatively easy.
With the stone bird's death, the three turned their gaze towards the ice worm, which resembled a big, round wooden barrel.
Short and fat.
Its blood volume was somewhat thicker.
The Beauty Snake was about to act, but was stopped by Blood Asura.
Blood Asura flashed a smile at the Beauty Snake and gestured that she wanted to handle the ice worm herself.
Blood Asura loved such slow-moving, high-blood-volume monsters.
Blood Asura enjoyed tormenting in her bones, and Ye Chen understood her intent, so he said to the two, "Let Piggy Dragon and the Beauty Snake return, Blood Asura can handle the ice worm alone."
The two nodded and summoned their pets back.
Blood Asura wasted no time, her figure flashed, and in the next second, she appeared before the ice worm.
She grasped the Thunder Shocking Blade, smiling at the ice worm.
'Swish!'
A lightning flash streaked.
-600!
Another flash of light.
-600!
Blood Asura had turned into a shadow, circling the ice worm.
The ice worm let out a pained wail.
"You!"
The ice worm was enraged.
Bending slightly, a layer of ice gradually formed on the ice worm's body, and then its body burst and expanded.
The ice transformed into pieces of ice swords, stabbing at Blood Asura.
Blood Asura didn't take such an attack seriously at all.
Her figure flickered again.
The ice swords were depleted, while Blood Asura remained unscathed.
"Buzz!"
A crackle of thunder, and the ice worm died.
Blood Asura chuckled and then returned to Ye Chen's side.
Piggy Dragon stood on the ground, looking at Blood Asura hovering over Ye Chen's left shoulder.
Letting out grunting sounds.
Its four little paws bouncing happily.
Lin Nuoyi laughed and said, "Looks like this Piggy Dragon is completely captivated by your Blood Asura."
Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Zhu Qiang, go gather the loot."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiang immediately perked up.
Just at that moment.
The people from the shelter saw the monsters vanish and hurriedly rushed out; they had been watching Ye Chen and the others fight the monsters.
These people were quite wealthy, and they ran up to Ye Chen and the others.
A balding middle-aged man in his fifties spoke up:
"Young man! Young man! Will you be my bodyguard? I'll pay you, just name your price! Any amount!"
"I have money too, I have money too, just name your price!"
The crowd chattered, trying to hire Ye Chen and the others as bodyguards.
Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Do you think money still has any value in this world now?"
The crowd was instantly speechless.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a face full of flesh, suddenly charged up.
The next second, a dark muzzle was pointed at Ye Chen's head.
"Quick! Hand over your pet to me, or I'll shoot you dead!"
These people were extremely afraid of death.
Faced with the middle-aged man's threat, Ye Chen didn't care at all.
To him, these people were no different from those monsters.
They were merely arrogant because of their wealth.
But Ye Chen clearly wouldn't indulge him.
Even before Ye Chen could act, Zhu Qiang had already commanded Piggy Dragon.
'Bang!'
The middle-aged man fell to the ground instantly, but it wasn't the sound of a gunshot; it was Piggy Dragon colliding with the man's chest.
Piggy Dragon didn't use much force, but his bones had fractured, piercing into his organs.
If no one saved him, he wouldn't last more than half an hour.
Daring to point a gun at Ye Chen was simply courting death.
"How dare you threaten my brother! Truly reckless."
Zhu Qiang glared at the man viciously, and Piggy Dragon let out a grunt in agreement.
Ye Chen said to the remaining people, "Leave quickly, or it will be too late to go soon!"
The crowd had already been scared senseless; in the next second, they fled like a swarm.
Only one middle-aged man remained standing there.
The middle-aged man stared intently at Lin Nuoyi.
Before Ye Chen could speak.
The man approached Lin Nuoyi and said:
"Nuoyi, come with me, would you? Stay by my side and protect me, okay!"
Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed instantly, looking at the man, noticing some resemblance between the man and Lin Nuoyi.
Lin Nuoyi said nothing, looking at the man with mournful eyes.
The man took two steps forward, intending to get closer to Lin Nuoyi.
Ye Chen immediately stepped between them, blocking the man's path.
The man instantly shouted, "Get out of the way, I'm looking for my daughter, it's none of your business!"
Ye Chen was momentarily stunned.
"Daughter?"
Lin Nuoyi suddenly shouted loudly, "You go! I'm not your daughter, and you're not my father!"
The man was instantly furious, "What are you talking about! If you're not my daughter, then what are you?"
