A light breeze started blowing on the surface of the river.
“……”
Lin Baici remained silent. He knew that these ten people named by Anubis were doomed.
If they jumped into the river, they would undoubtedly die.
Go kill that monster?
Not to mention the boss itself, they might not even be able to defeat the Hu wolves summoned by it.
Lin Baici gave up the idea of helping them. He didn’t know what kind of rule contamination he would encounter later, and he would definitely have to fight against the gods, right?
So Lin Baici wanted to preserve his strength.
Three people who considered themselves good swimmers jumped into the river.
Splash! Splash!
Amidst the splashing water, they emerged and swam towards the opposite bank.
The others hesitated and wanted to see if there were any other options, but the Hu wolves summoned by Anubis had already pressed forward.
They could only jump ship in a hurry.
After dealing with these people, Anubis, who was floating three meters above the deck with his legs crossed, looked at Lin Baici and the others.
The hearts of the crowd tightened.
They were all praying that nothing unexpected would happen again.
After scanning the crowd, Anubis’s gaze fell on Jin Yingzhen: “I doubt whether you possess a beautiful soul. You must continue to prove it!”
Jin Yingzhen was stunned.
“Is this never going to end?”
Xia Hongyao rolled up her sleeves: “Linzi, should we just fight it?”
“Don’t be reckless! Stay calm!”
Song Huizhi persuaded. It would be quite profitable to spend some money to pass this level in her opinion.
Goryeo Meimei was too wealthy, and the things she gave were not luxury goods that ordinary people couldn’t recognize, like Hermes belts or Chanel bags. They were necklaces and earrings, which were obviously precious. That’s why she caught Anubis’s attention.
This monster was greedy by nature. When it encountered a juicy prey, it would definitely suck it dry to the last drop of blood.
After speaking to Jin Yingzhen, it looked at Lin Baici, originally intending to speak, but after glancing at the Scorpion Queen standing beside him, it gave up and then turned to Xia Hongyao: “You, also need to prove yourself!”
The crowd saw that this monster had no intention of stopping, and worry appeared on their faces.
Who knew if it would target them after extorting the two girls?
“I’ll only give you 30 seconds!”
Anubis threatened.
Its sense of smell was very sensitive and could smell the aura of treasures. This male human had the most on him, but with the Scorpion Queen vouching for him, it couldn’t do anything, which was quite frustrating. However, it wouldn’t mind “eating” the two girls.
Especially the girl with the ponytail, she was incredibly wealthy.
Anubis’s gaze subtly swept over Song Huizhi.
It also smelled the aura of treasures on this woman, but at the same time, her life force was very strong.
This meant that she was powerful.
By provoking so many people at once, Anubis felt that it might force them to resist, so it decided to take it slow.
Divide and conquer.
“……”
Lin Baici wanted to curse. He had underestimated the greed of this monster.
It was like making a slave work like an ox and a horse for a lifetime, and after exhausting it to death, throwing its body into the furnace to burn as firewood.
It would even squeeze out the last bit of remaining value.
Lin Baici tightened his grip on the bronze sword and gave Xia Hongyao a look.
He was ready to attack.
Since this monster didn’t appreciate the face given to it, then it could go to hell!
“Don’t act recklessly, it’s very strong!”
The Scorpion Queen warned when she saw Lin Baici’s killing intent, “And don’t expect me to help you.”
“That’s right, don’t act recklessly, you’ll die!”
Song Huizhi also advised.
Lin Baici didn’t even bother with the Scorpion Queen, as for Song Huizhi?
If she angered him, he would kill her along with the others.
“Hehe, you want to kill me? Come on then!”
Anubis looked at the Scorpion Queen, “He’s the one who wants to make a move, it’s not my fault!”
“Attack!”
Xia Hongyao shot out, moving extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Anubis, and her short knife slashed out three black shadows.
Lin Baici threw the bronze sword with a flick of his hand.
Here I come!
Then he charged forward with a torch made of pine wood.
Whoosh!
The bronze sword, accompanied by a splendid light, whistled and stabbed towards Anubis.
The monster swung its staff and smashed it towards the bronze sword.
Clang!
The bronze sword was knocked away.
“Kill!”
Lin Baici roared, charging like an angry bull.
“Hehe!”
Anubis sneered. He knocked his staff against the ground, and a golden light circle spread out. It was about to summon the Hu wolves, but in the next moment, a rushing wind came from behind.
Before Anubis could turn around, its back was struck by a heavy punch.
Bang!
Anubis, who was originally floating in the air with his legs crossed, was directly sent flying and fell onto the deck, rolling several times.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Something rushed over, and the opponent’s big feet stomped on the deck, causing the entire Sun Ship to shake.
Anubis turned his head and was dumbfounded.
“What is this thing?”
A man wearing only a tight leather shorts, with muscular and well-developed body, exuding a sense of power, as if every step he took could crush the world.
Song Huizhi’s pupils shrank when she saw this scene.
“Do you surrender?”
Lin Baici sneered, “You fool, that roar from this hungry god was a feint to distract your attention!”
“You cunning human!”
Anubis cursed and stared at the muscular man.
There was no way around it. This thing gave it a tremendous sense of oppression.Xia Hongyao pounced again, while Lin Baici was still on his way. Anubis was contemplating who to kill first when he caught a glimpse of a shadow in the corner of his eye. In the next moment, a sharp pain struck him as something pierced his eye.
It was the Champion Dart, once shot, it never misses.
Lin Baici’s mocking laughter was all an act, making the monster think that his tactics were exhausted. In reality, this statement was also a deception, implying that Anubis, the Muscle Buddha, was his trump card, creating an opportunity for a surprise attack with the Champion Dart.
“Despicable! Shameless! Vile!”
Anubis shouted, and in the next instant, the Muscle Buddha closed in.
May Buddha have mercy, only kill, not save!
Oh la oh la oh la!
The Muscle Buddha’s Buddha Fist was invincible, like a raging tsunami, crashing onto Anubis.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Anubis was beaten like a sieve, completely defenseless.
The survivors were dumbfounded, no one expected the sudden fight.
And it seemed like Lin Baici had the upper hand?
They quickly retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire, but also filled with joy.
Fight!
Kill it!
At this moment, they envied Jin Yingzhen, having a man willing to fight monsters for her.
“Oppa!”
Jin Yingzhen’s eyes welled up with tears, deeply moved.
From now on, I am yours.
“…”
The Scorpion Queen’s scalp tingled as she watched. Was this man really that strong?
And what was that muscle man?
Was he his servant?
So strong!
What made the Scorpion Queen most wary was not only Lin Baici’s displayed combat power, but also his tactical intelligence. He immediately suppressed the neighbor upon arrival.
Luckily, the neighbor was not easy to beat. If it were someone weaker, they would have already perished.
“Damn!”
Song Huizhi was shocked.
Lin Baici’s attack power was astonishing.
She began to hesitate, should she join the fight or not?
Are all the newcomers in Jiuzhou this strong now?
Bang!
The Muscle Buddha threw another punch, hitting Anubis in the face, almost knocking out its eyeballs. Xia Hongyao and Lin Baici teamed up to continuously attack, not giving the opponent any chance to catch their breath.
Although they had not practiced the combined attack technique before, both of them were combat geniuses and naturally knew that the Muscle Buddha should be the main attacker, while they provided support.
After a round of fierce attacks, Anubis was thrown out, lying on the ground like a rag doll. Its head was shattered, but no blood flowed out.
“Is it dead?”
Everyone was excited and nervous.
Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao took the opportunity to rest and recover their strength, preparing for the next battle.
“You despicable humans, your souls are filthy, foul, and stinky. I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs!”
Anubis floated up from the ground, the wound on its head completely healed.
Xia Hongyao and Lin Baici’s response was simple, they attacked again.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Muscle Buddha ran forward with big strides, making the wooden deck creak.
Song Huizhi glanced around and realized that they didn’t seem to need her help, as if they had forgotten that she was a Divine Hunter.
“They might really win!”
Song Huizhi decided to wait a little longer.
“Even if you have a hundred lives, you will die today!”
Lin Baici’s expression was resolute and decisive. Since they had already started, he didn’t want to leave any room for retreat.
Fight to the death!
Three Hu Wolves bypassed the Muscle Buddha and charged towards Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao. They leaped into the air.
Lin Baici swung a wooden torch, smashing it onto the head of one of the Hu Wolves.
Crushing blow!
Bang!
The Hu Wolf’s head shattered.
Lin Baici clenched his left fist and swung it like a steel whip, hitting the mouth of the second Hu Wolf with a bang, pulverizing it. Then, he quickly changed his fist into a grab, grabbing the corpse and using it as a sandbag to smash the third one.
At this moment, Lin Baici was ferocious.
The Scorpion Queen watched in astonishment, her eyes misting over with tears. Her hands involuntarily touched her chest.
Our son, born to be the strongest Scorpion King!
If I hadn’t wanted to see the outside world and temporarily reconciled with it, would I have suffered this kind of blow too?
The Scorpion Queen suddenly felt a little scared.
Swish!
Xia Hongyao severed Anubis’ neck, and a head fell to the ground. But in the next moment, golden smoke surrounded the broken neck, forming another wolf head.
“I said, I have twelve lives!”
Anubis grinned, and the Dragon Tooth King Sword shot through its back, piercing through its heart.
“Very well, nine more to go!”
Lin Baici smirked, showing no signs of despair or helplessness despite the monster having multiple lives.
“No need to worry, any child in Jiuzhou can recite the multiplication table!”
Xia Hongyao’s battle spirit was also high.
The onlookers around gradually stopped panicking, because the combat power displayed by Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao was too exaggerated.They easily defeated ordinary people and overwhelmed a hundred of them.
“You’re also a Divine Hunter, aren’t you going up?” Hua Yueyu looked at Song Huizhi, provoking her.
[It’s useless, you can’t kill its true form. Even if you kill this monster a thousand times, it will restore to its original state!]
Lin Baici raised an eyebrow upon hearing the comment from the Gourmet God.
His worries had indeed come true, there was a loophole in this monster.
It claimed to have twelve lives, seemingly to show off and undermine their morale. In reality, it was deception, to make them misjudge the reason why it wouldn’t die.
[The oar of the Sun Ship is its true form!]
[Break it and kill it instantly!]
“Hongyao, you search in the cabin, leave this to Baici. I have a feeling that this monster is planning something,” Gu Qingqiu suggested.
The monster would die if it was killed, but they had to kill its true form, right?
Anubis heard this and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t show any signs of surprise. He didn’t even attack Gu Qingqiu because he was afraid his excessive reaction would raise her suspicion.
“Do you want us to be divided and conquered?” Lin Baici frowned and questioned sharply.
“Haha, you fool!” Anubis laughed heartily.
“…”
Gu Qingqiu saw Lin Baici’s reaction and instantly realized that he also suspected something was wrong with this monster. With the courage and spirit he had shown before, how could he possibly fear a lone monster?
He is indeed more outstanding than me!
Gu Qingqiu admired, because he had noticed the problem faster than her.
This girl, who liked to secretly observe Lin Baici, was right in her reasoning. Even before the Gourmet God’s comment, Lin Baici had already activated the Red Rolling Stone and summoned the little clay figure, letting it sneak into the cabin.
It’s just that they didn’t know what the monster’s true form was, so even though the little clay figure had seen an oar, it didn’t attack.
Now, there was no problem.
Jin Yingzhen felt that Gu Qingqiu’s suggestion made some sense, but if Xia Hongyao left, it would greatly increase the danger for Lin Baici. So she gritted her teeth and rushed towards the cabin.
Seeing this, Hua Yueyu followed suit.
The more people, the more chances they had.
As soon as the two girls moved, several wolf-like creatures pounced on them.
“Be careful!” Lin Baici came to their aid.
He was pleased with Jin Yingzhen and Hua Yueyu’s brave performance, but they were too weak. Acting rashly would only cause him trouble.
“Little Lin, it seems there is indeed a problem in the cabin!” Xia Hongyao also noticed the clues. Otherwise, why would this monster stop the two girls from entering?
“Filthy humans, do you also want to enter my domain?” Anubis cursed.
“Explanation is just a cover-up, there must be a problem inside.”
Jin Yingzhen confirmed.
Anubis was annoyed and regretted speaking too much.
Why were these humans so clever?
Just as it was thinking about how to make up for it and make these humans give up on peeking into the cabin, its body suddenly stiffened.
Bang!
A heavy punch from Lin Baici struck its face.
The monster was thrown out and when it rolled on the deck, its body suddenly split into two without any warning, breaking apart from its waist.
The wolf-like creatures it had summoned also burst open one by one, turning into golden smoke and dissipating on the deck.
“What’s going on?” Xia Hongyao was stunned.
“Sneaky humans, you plotted against me!” Anubis shouted angrily towards Lin Baici.
It grabbed the ground with both hands and crawled forward, wanting to rush to Lin Baici and bite him to death.
This scene was somewhat terrifying, but also a bit ridiculous.
Whoosh!
A bronze sword flew and pierced its head, nailing it to the deck.
“Ah!” Anubis struggled, but it was in vain.
Damn it, I thought I had deceived this human, but I didn’t expect him to outsmart me.
I messed up!
“What’s happening?” Queen Scorpion looked puzzled. Didn’t this monster have twelve lives?
Why does it suddenly look like it’s about to die?
Song Huizhi’s head was spinning. It seemed like she had made the wrong decision.
Fortunately, she and him were on opposing sides. Otherwise, she would have lost the chance to become friends with such a powerful god, which would have been infuriating.
Lin Baici didn’t answer and looked towards the cabin.
Everyone followed Lin Baici’s gaze and soon, a little clay figure came out with a broken oar in its hands, which had been split into two.
“Is this the true form of this monster?” Gu Qingqiu understood and her gaze fell on the little clay figure.
It’s quite cute.
“It’s over!” Lin Baici looked at Anubis and smiled faintly. “Twelve lives? I’m so scared!”
Everyone noticed that Lin, the great god, had a sharp tongue.
If it were them, they would be infuriated.
The little clay figure returned and Lin Baici picked up the oar, glancing at it before chopping it into wood chips with his bronze sword.
Anubis’ body also shattered into pieces and when the river wind blew, the fragments fell onto the water.
“Lin, you’re amazing!” Song Huizhi said, admiring and thinking about how to ease the tension between the two sides.
“You’re really amazing!”
“So awesome!”
“Lin is number one!”
Everyone shouted and showed a relieved expression.
“Take your things back!” Lin Baici casually ordered, walking to the remains of the monster’s body and picking up Anubis’ staff.”The Anubis Golden Scepter can summon a pack of golden wolves to fight for you.”
“This scepter is blessed with a divine grace named ‘Dance with the Wolves’. Once activated, it can summon a wolf pet. When you fight alongside others, the morale of the entire team will increase by one, and the combat power of all team members will also improve to a certain extent. You, like a wolf king, will naturally gain everyone’s recognition and respect.”
God of Gluttony’s comment.
Lin Baici touched the scepter. It was warm to the touch, and this divine grace was quite interesting!
“Divine taboo? Is there divine grace on it?”
Song Huizhi was the first to come over, but she didn’t dare to act rashly. Not only were the four girls including Xia Hongyao staring at her, but even the Golden Scorpion Queen was giving her a hostile look.
“Yes, there is!”
When it came to eating, the God of Gluttony was always impatient. Two slender arms of starlight extended from Lin Baici’s shoulders, reaching out to the golden scepter and grabbing a fist-sized ball of light.
“Thank you for the gift of nature!”
Lin Baici opened his mouth.
Song Huizhi stared at Lin Baici, full of envy. This guy had absorbed another divine grace.
Maybe I should betray the Lost Coast and become his follower.
Wait,
I can try to recruit him to the Lost Coast!
To be continued…
