Chapter 57: This Is Kung Fu Basketball
Long Aotian, Mugang Xian, and the others looked at Bai Qige, who was sitting in the van, watching from afar with a cold expression. They wished they could throw a basketball at him. You talk about fighting, but don’t you see the beasts’ mouths filled with sharp teeth like daggers, lined up tightly above and below!?
Ye Hui’s expression was serious, seeming to understand that she couldn’t outrun the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel. She turned and delivered a powerful kick mid-air with her battle-axe, her strong and beautiful legs cutting down with great force. At that moment, a sharp, glowing light flashed by. Her superpower allowed her attacks to deal powerful slashing damage, and even her ordinary punches and kicks were comparable to a strongman wielding a cleaver, making her quite formidable in terms of attack power.
One leg chopped down and struck the back of a Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, leaving a deep wound that showed bone. A thick purple liquid splattered out, dripping to the ground and creating a strange, foul smell. Injured by this blow, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel became even more ferocious, roaring loudly, its forehead Battle Pattern glowing. A faint ripple spread from the Battle Pattern.
The Underworld Sun, Dark Moon, Evil Star, and Abyss Grimoires correspond to the four attributes: Underworld Sun represents strength, Dark Moon represents spirit, Evil Star represents agility, and Abyss represents roots, each with its own mysteries. The Dark Moon Grimoire is similar to the spirit magic in Earth legends. When invoked, it produces various mystical superpowers, and now it unleashed a paralysis spell.
As Ye Hui suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, her body went numb, and she couldn’t move. Her balance wavered, and she realized she was in trouble just as the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel prepared to pounce and bite.
At that moment, a slender figure rushed in; it was Tang Jiaorong. With a powerful half-step punch, she struck the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, causing it to stagger back several steps. Clearly, as Tang An’s granddaughter, she had some real skills. The two girls turned to fight, while the men couldn’t just turn and run. Especially Long Aotian, who immediately rushed back to protect the two girls.
Four Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels quickly surrounded everyone, but they seemed to fear the power of Ye Hui’s blow, circling around without attacking. The one that Ye Hui had hit and Tang Jiaorong had punched back staggered closer, its eyes bloodthirsty, letting out a fierce roar.
At that moment, nearby people noticed what was happening and hurriedly fled, hiding to call for help. Long Aotian gripped a basketball tightly, as it was their only makeshift weapon, though its attacking power was quite lacking.
Just then, Bai Qige’s cheerful laughter rang out:
"Dear disciples, the weather is so beautiful, yet you are filled with anger and your first reaction is to fight. Can’t we just have a friendly basketball game with these little alien creatures?"
"We would love to have a basketball game, but these alien creatures only want to challenge us to a cooking contest!" Long Aotian replied helplessly.
Bai Qige stepped out of the car and floated over. As he got closer, five Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels suddenly jumped in surprise, their fur standing on end. They instinctively took a few steps back, crouched down, and let out fierce roars filled with caution.
"Indeed, the Nest Protector Unit is generally equipped with abilities for life detection and aura assessment. If I had just stood there a moment ago, I would not have provoked these Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels!"
Bai Qige thought to himself and kept smiling as he walked past the others, standing in front of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels. Although Long Aotian, Mugang Xian, and the others had very mixed feelings about him and even felt a bit afraid, standing behind him gave them a sense of relief. In their hearts, they had already built an unbeatable image of the Muscular Monk.
Ye Hui felt a little uneasy. She had just faced off against a Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel and had already sensed that these strange beasts had superpowers. She did not know much about Bai Qige’s strength and was slightly worried, saying, "Master, these beasts have superpowers; be careful!"
Bai Qige waved his hand and laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, I do not intend to fight these Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels. My Buddha teaches that if we communicate with a sincere heart full of love, we can resolve all conflicts caused by anger. Just watch as I use my unmatched Buddhist teachings to turn anger into peace!"
Bai Qige slowly approached, and the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels grew more wary, even becoming a bit restless. Then, one of them could not hold back and lunged at him. As it leaped, it used the Dark Moon Grimoire, emitting a faint mental ripple filled with various negative effects. Bai Qige remained still, and the mental ripples hit him, instantly reflecting in the Fate Interface information panel:
[Received a mental attack, resulting in 10 points of mental damage and a 3-second paralysis effect. Make a mental attribute saving throw; save successful, and deal 5 points of mental damage back to the enemy!]
[Received a mental attack, resulting in 10 points of mental damage and a 3-second agony effect. Make a mental attribute saving throw; save successful, and deal 5 points of mental damage back to the enemy!]
[Received a mental attack, resulting in 10 points of mental damage and a 3-second illusion effect…]
"Is he really using a sudden burst attack? But this effect seems too weak, right? Even for a burst attack, the negative status of the Dark Moon Grimoire should last at least 5 seconds to be considered effective. Your training with the Dark Moon Grimoire is seriously lacking!"
Bai Qige couldn’t help but shake his head. If he faced Ye Hui, this three-shot mental attack, combined with the following bite, would be enough to completely defeat her. But against his own greatly boosted mental power due to Gang Talent, it was far from enough. Not only did it fail to cause any harm, but it even backfired. Halfway through the attack, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel’s strength weakened. Bai Qige’s arms suddenly shook, tearing his robe. The Muscular Monk, with muscles glowing like gold, descended to the earth and suddenly embraced the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel.
"Such deep malice is not good. This is very bad! The Buddha says there should be love and peace!"
His arms slowly closed together, and the cracking sound of bones accompanied the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel’s fierce cries. The creature struggled violently but couldn’t escape the iron grip of the Muscular Monk. Behind Bai Qige, Long Aotian heard the sound and shivered, the shadow of his two hospital stays rising in his heart once again.
A few seconds later, Bai Qige released his grip. The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel had turned into a pile of crushed and dislocated bones. His smile remained peaceful, and his eyes were serene and compassionate as he scanned the other Bloodthirsty Dragon Camels.
"The Buddha says that a loving hug can transform all malice in the world. If it doesn’t work, then try again. The teachings of Buddhism are always so simple! Isn’t it very similar to the teachings of your Eternal Dark Demon Emperor? No need to pretend you don’t understand; I know you understand what I’m saying."
The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel showed no response, roaring fiercely and baring its teeth, but Bai Qige couldn’t help but show a sarcastic smile and said:
"Looks like I need to explain it a little clearer for you. Every time you move to a new nest or thrive in an unfamiliar place, the first thing you do is send out an Undercover Unit to learn the local language, customs, culture, and geography. Only after fully understanding these things can you begin your invasion. And when starting the invasion, you always change your form to mimic the local wildlife, pretending to be a foolish beast to lower people’s guard. Only when the situation is ripe do you reveal your true form! Are you still using your primitive form because you think Earthlings know nothing about you? The Eternal Dark Demon Emperor’s judgment, the blade of invasion, and the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel tribe that spreads tyranny and disaster!"
The others behind him listened to this and looked puzzled, but in the next moment, their expressions changed. The leading Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel suddenly stood up, striking a stance like a crane spreading its wings, and shouted in perfect Yanhuang language, "Who are you, knowing our roots! Brothers, no need to pretend anymore, get up! Grab your weapons, prepare to kill and silence!"
Before, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel, which had been on all fours pretending to be a foolish beast, stood up completely. Two of them surprisingly pulled out handguns from their furry bellies, while another one took out a watermelon knife from its stomach. It was unclear how they had hidden these things before. The handguns looked like toy guns in their thick claws, and it was impressive that they held them so steadily.
Everyone continued to stare in shock as they saw these creatures transform from wild beasts that could only claw and bite into gun-wielding beastmen, their faces showing confusion.
"Hehe, you even managed to get guns; it seems like you have developed quite well! But don’t be so nervous. I said we need love to turn anger into peace! Forget it, it’s hard to explain things to you stubborn ones. You are nesting on Earth and probably haven’t settled down the rebellious parts of the Ten Commandments yet! So, according to the ancient agreement, let’s risk the dignity of the Eternal Dark Demon Emperor and have a fair Rebellious Showdown!"
"Impossible, how could Earthlings know these things!"
The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel looked shocked, and of course, Bai Qige wouldn’t tell him he had just returned from Middle-earth World and knew all about them very well.
"Stop wasting words; are you going to defy the Ten Commandments?"
After much hesitation and seeming deep distress, but still unwilling, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel finally gritted its teeth and said, "Speak, how will you rebel! But you should know, you do not meet the requirements of the Rebellious Iron Rule."
"Don’t worry, I know the Ten Commandments very clearly. Disciples, come here! Next, my disciple will have a Rebellious Showdown with you. See this basketball? I know you are familiar with Earth culture, so a basketball game should not be strange. The rules are simple: swing the basketball and try to hit the other side. The one who falls down loses. How about that, fair enough?"
The Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel paused for a moment and said, "This is not a basketball game!"
Bai Qige confidently answered, "This is the Kung Fu Basketball game!"
