Chapter 254: I Am Very Happy
Whoosh——!
A long spear engulfed in flames pierced through the head of the Frost Giant, and the blood-soaked red tassel withdrew the spear, barely stabilizing its stance while gasping for breath.
In front of the toll booth, the corpse of the Frost Giant had already piled up on the ground, with blood pooling into a torrent that flowed into the sewer.
Fortunately, the Phoenix Squad had successfully destroyed the Frost Giant’s portal; aside from the remaining dozen or so giants, the others had all perished here.
Moo——!!
A low growl came from not far away. Wu Xiangnan looked up and saw a giant squid, as tall as a skyscraper, swiftly moving towards them from beneath the overpass.
Captain, the sea monster is coming.
Chen Muye swung his knife to slay a Frost Giant, his hand trembling slightly from exhaustion. He silently gazed at the approaching squid, and after a moment, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It’s coming for me.
Chen Muye’s voice was calm, and everyone was taken aback, turning to look at him.
Captain, what are you talking about? Wen Qimo couldn’t help but ask.
It has locked onto me; I can still feel that. Chen Muye rubbed his chest lightly, I have something it wants.
Hong Ying was stunned for a moment and weakly asked, What is it? Can’t we just give it to it…
No, this item is of great importance and absolutely cannot be handed over. Chen Muye took a deep breath, his expression surprisingly relaxed. This is fine; as long as I stay away from the city, the people there won’t be in danger.
We’ll go with you. Leng Xuan suddenly spoke up.
Chen Muye shook his head. That is a Klein-level mystery; if you follow me, it will only lead to your deaths.
It’s still better than you dying alone. Hong Ying shouldered her spear, looking at Chen Muye with unprecedented seriousness. A family should stay together.
Wen Qimo’s mouth twitched slightly. Although I find Hong Ying’s words a bit strange… I also think it’s better for us to act together; maybe we can buy some time.
Chen Muye’s body trembled, and his gaze slowly swept over the faces of the others, filled with complexity.
You… are willing to go with me to die?
Everyone except An Qingyu nodded.
Chen Muye sighed deeply, lightly waving his dual blades. Several black chains extended from the Yama Hall behind him, instantly binding everyone in place except for An Qingyu.
Thank you… but the task of dying should be mine alone. Chen Muye fell silent for a moment; after all, I should have been dead ten years ago…
Wu Xiangnan struggled against the iron chains, frowning at Chen Muye. What are you talking about! Let us go! You can’t be a hero… that’s impossible!
Hong Ying gritted her silver teeth, her body igniting with rose-colored flames. The raging fire continuously scorched the iron chains, but to no avail.
There’s no need to exert yourselves; after all, all of you combined can’t defeat me. A smile appeared on Chen Muye’s face.
He walked up to An Qingyu and slowly spoke: I’ll leave them to you.
An Qingyu hesitated for a moment but nodded.
Moo——!!
The Kraken’s deep rumble grew closer, its waving tentacles resembling a seductive serpent twisting beneath the dark clouds, its shadow enveloping the earth.
Chen Muye took a deep breath, casting one last glance at the people behind him, a smile appearing on his lips.
I’m very happy to be your captain…
With that, he dashed away from the city without looking back!
However, just as he took a couple of steps, the space ahead suddenly twisted, a white portal outlining itself in the void, and then a familiar figure slowly emerged from within.
A rich magical aura permeated the air as a young man clad in a deep blue robe stepped out, holding a knife in his right hand. His white hair floated in the air, and his eyes were deep as a chasm, as if he could see through the threads of fate.
He was like the brightest star in the night, illuminating the uncertain destinies of everyone.
Qi… Qi Ye? Chen Muye stared at the unfamiliar yet familiar figure before him, momentarily frozen in place.
Not just him; the other members of Team 136 were also stunned. This Lin Qi Ye before them, in terms of appearance and aura, was vastly different from the Lin Qi Ye they knew.
An Qingyu looked at Lin Qi Ye, an unprecedented interest flickering in his eyes, a glimmer of gray flashing beneath.
In the next moment, his pupils trembled, and he abruptly closed his eyes.
Two streams of blood tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Lin Qi Ye naturally meant him no harm; it was just that he bore the soul of a deity, and An Qingyu’s attempt to analyze it would naturally result in backlash.
Lin Qi Ye’s gaze was fixed on Chen Muye, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth:
Captain, I’m also very happy to be your teammate… So, you should go back and rest with them.
Lin Qi Ye lightly tapped Chen Muye with his fingertip, and the red sealing magic instantly bound Chen Muye’s body. At the same time, the others, who had been locked by Chen Muye, felt their bodies lighten, and the iron chains shattered.
Before they could react, the same sealing magic that bound Chen Muye once again restrained their bodies, even more firmly than before.
Lin Qi Ye, what do you want to do? Chen Muye couldn’t help but speak up. I am the captain of Team 136! Drawing away the Kraken should be my task!
I know, Captain. But so what? Lin Qi Ye said with a smile,
After all… you all combined still can’t defeat me.
Chen Muye: …
Leave the rest to me. Lin Qi Ye extended his finger, pointing into the void, and a massive white spatial teleportation array opened beneath everyone’s feet!
Whoosh!
A flash of white light passed, and all their figures vanished.
Lin Qi Ye’s smile gradually faded as he turned to face the giant sea monster looming nearby, cold killing intent flickering in his eyes.
I won’t let you pass…
…
Cangnan City.
Peace Affairs Office, underground.
The white teleportation array suddenly unfolded, and the figures of Team 136 appeared out of thin air, while the sealing magic on them was simultaneously lifted.
Chen Muye abruptly stood up, several unfriendly gazes landing on him.
… Chen Muye’s mouth twitched slightly. Let me explain…
Comrade Chen Muye. Wu Xiangnan slowly stood up from the ground, speaking sternly. We will deal with your actions later; right now, I’m more worried about Qi Ye.
The others nodded in agreement.
They quickly ran to the rooftop of the office, looking out into the distance.
They saw a deep blue figure floating in the sky at the edge of the city, three super-large black magic circles hovering above his head, mysterious and profound.
