Chapter 305
Chapter 305 Cut This Bastard Down
Monika’s words confirmed one thing for Xia Xinyan—this Dark Zone world probably wasn’t just a mere attachment to reality, because Monika herself said she couldn’t tell which was the leading world.
But the demons existing in this world clearly weren’t the usual creations.
“If I get the chance later, I’ll go ask the boss,” Monika waved her hand when she saw Xia Xinyan seemed quite concerned. “She’s seen way more than I have, so she must know about these things. You guys don’t need to guess blindly. Just follow the guidance of the emergency protection mechanism of the world; you can’t go wrong.”
Xia Xinyan tilted her head and studied her for a moment: “Why not ask your boss right now?”
“…Well, I need to be able to go back first,” Monika rolled her eyes. “I still have a task to protect you guys, and leaving during the task means a salary deduction—if this keeps happening, I won’t have any wages left next year.”
“Got it,” Xia Xinyan nodded.
She shouldn’t expect much from this person.
Just then, two members of the Chicks rushed in a hurry, plopping right in front of the chubby guy and Ling Mo, who were chatting below: “Boss! Outside the village… there are some really tough monsters outside the village! We can’t deal with them! Hurry and help us! Right now, only Liu Zi and the others are holding the line, they might get killed!”
Upon hearing this, Xia Xinyan’s expression shifted, and she jumped straight down from the roof, landing steadily next to Ling Mo, scaring both the chubby guy and the members who came for help: “Take us there!”
So the demons finally showed up?
Ling Mo also realized the importance of the situation and tossed a quick remark to the chubby guy, “We’ll talk later,” as he followed Xia Xinyan and the others towards the incident location.
The chubby guy hesitated, pulled out his bone magic wand, and chased after them: “Hey! Wait for me!”
After all, he was supposed to be part of the Chicks’ elite fight force! Did these people really just ignore him?!
On the rooftop, Monika noticed this and pondered for two seconds before jumping down with keen interest.
The incident took place in the fields of the outer village.
Now the fields were overgrown with wild grass, in some places even half a person tall, providing perfect cover if one crouched inside. At this moment, one patch of grass had already been mostly burned away— the culprit was a fat goblin… well, it looked pretty much like a goblin, but the injuries it had weren’t exposing flesh; instead, it was oozing hot liquid like lava.
And it had quite the temper.
With each breath it let out, it could spew a large plume of searing flames, evaporating the grass it passed, showcasing just how high the temperature was.
Behind it stood three even stranger-looking monsters, standing still and staring at them.
Taking the front line were several members of the Chicks referred to as Liu Zi; their collective strength was quite low, enough to say they couldn’t even match that fire-breathing monster individually or even approach it without taking significant losses.
So by the time Ling Mo and the others arrived, they were purely stalling, trying to prevent the monsters from breaking through the stronghold, not actually aiming to kill anything.
Even then, they were reaching their limit.
The fire-breathing monster had already closed in on them, attacking from an angle they found difficult to defend against, it unleashed a roar and blasted flames at them.
If that hit, Liu Zi and the others would likely end up evaporated like the grass.
At this moment, a silver mechanical hand suddenly appeared between the two sides, instantly spreading its five fingers to block the fire attack, and then with that flame, it slapped hard at the fire-breathing monster—
Boom——!
The ground trembled as the fire-breathing monster was smashed straight into the earth, leaving a massive palm-shaped impression and a deeper depression where the monster lay.
“Sorry, I’m late,” Ling Mo stepped forward to shield Liu Zi and the others, turning back to the group who had led them, “Leave this to us, take them back.”
Seeing Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan arrive, the already stretched-thin Liu Zi and the others finally sighed in relief, as though they had been saved from dire straits: “We’re rescued…”
The chubby guy arrived next, taking stock of the strange monsters before him, furrowing his brow: “What the hell are these ugly things?”
Even in previous dungeons, he hadn’t seen monsters this bizarre.
It felt like… various mixed-up species’ appearances were randomly mashed together, topped off with a layer of demon style.
No matter how you looked at it, it was just weird.
The monsters that had been watching seemed to understand the chubby guy’s words, immediately roaring and closing the distance.
Even the monster that had been slapped into the ground by Ling Mo’s mechanical hand struggled to break free and almost showed no signs of being hurt.
Noticing this, Ling Mo frowned slightly: “Xinyan, are these the demons?”
“Yeah.” Xia Xinyan nodded, activating her abilities, “Be careful, Mo Mo, their powers are quite peculiar.”
“I will,” Ling Mo nodded, then looked at the chubby guy, “You deal with that fire-breathing monster, we’ll handle the rest.”
The chubby guy paused: “Why? I don’t think I’m good at dealing with…”
“Don’t you think it looks a lot like you from that time?” Ling Mo shot him a sideways glance, “The goblin version of you.”
The chubby guy: “……”
“This just shows you two have a lot in common, so it’s better for you to handle it.” After saying that, Ling Mo glanced at the other monsters, “Xinyan, shall we go together?”
Xia Xinyan nodded: “Yeah.”
“Then,” Ling Mo’s entire body was suddenly covered in battle armor as he surged forward towards the monsters, “Come on!”
Xia Xinyan followed suit, charging straight at the biggest one.
Watching the two jump right into battle, the chubby guy silently stared at the approaching fire-breathing goblin, grinding his teeth.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that he came here just to watch them show off their love.
Fighting together, were they even considering the feelings of the single dogs out there?!
Damn it… when he finally gets a girlfriend, he’s taking her out to fight every day too.
…Okay, that wish seems a bit strange.
With a quiet sigh, the chubby guy tightened his grip on the bone magic wand and raised it high: “Supreme Heaven Father! Cut this damned bastard down for me!”
So that’s how it is, huh?!
Showing off love, are we?!
You all can die!!
In that moment, the chubby guy’s rage transformed into his fighting spirit against the goblin in front of him.
