Chapter 217: Strong Physical Body
Forbidden Land, a place in District 11.
Zhang Ze sat down in the shade behind a stalagmite.
He took a long breath.
Then he took off his cloak, opened his shirt, revealing a terrifying scar on his chest.
He sighed and muttered, “Damn, do those crazy people from Qingyang City really need to chase us so closely?”
After getting separated from Luo Yan yesterday, he was chased by skilled people from Qingyang City and they chased him around half of the area.
He managed to escape only then.
However, last night, he and his men were caught up again and it took them most of the night to escape once more.
Due to this, he originally had over thirty team members with him.
Now only sixteen remain, and he has also been injured.
After all, Qingyang City is not lacking in experts of high levels.
Moreover, they even have mechas.
Only high-level expertise cannot withstand the bombardment of mechas.
Zhang Ze regrets now, he shouldn’t have been so arrogant initially and left the mechas outside the restricted area.
Of course, he never thought he would be targeted by the authorities and chased relentlessly.
It was almost noon.
After Zhang Ze changed the medicine, he asked a few team members to scout around and gathered the remaining people.
Including his two trusted followers.
Wei Junyi and Wen Zou.
The former pursued pure martial arts, reaching the mid-level second stage, displaying fierce combat skills.
In their battle, his courage was slightly inferior, and he was defeated after just a few moves.
The latter had once been a Taoist, but not the conventional kind.
He had a knack for deception, especially fooling the ignorant common folk.
After joining ‘Heiwu’, he was taught the Visualization Technique, specializing in mystical art.
Though only at the beginner’s level of perfection, his Divine Hidden Art was very unique and had a strong alignment with mystical art.
Therefore, the strength in battles cannot be simply judged by the level of the Visualization Technique.
He glanced at the two close aides.
Zhang Ze said in a serious tone, “If we continue like this, not only will we not be able to find the dragon lizard, but we might even lose our lives here.”
“So, I have decided to give up the mission.”
“Let’s take a rest and leave the forbidden area immediately.”
“As long as the green hills are preserved, we will have wood to burn.”
“If we don’t complete the mission this year, we can try again next year.”
Wei Junyi nodded and said, “I’ll listen to the captain.”
Wearing a purple robe and holding an ancient book, Wen Zou smiled and said, “The captain is wise, I agree with both hands up. No, I agree with both feet up.”
Wei Junyi looked at him disdainfully, almost blurting out the words “brown-noser.”
Just then, a lookout came to report, “Captain, Qingyang’s lackeys are here again.”
“They’re trying to push us to the limit,” Zhang Ze muttered. He could sense Qingyang’s trap closing in on them.
It seemed like they would soon have to fight to the bitter end.
Wei Junyi said solemnly, “Captain, I’ll go scout ahead.”
Zhang Ze was about to say something when suddenly he had a realization.
Suddenly, something stirred in his heart.
Soon after, they heard soft whispers in the distance, which quickly turned into a muffled shout.
Not long after.
A figure carried a member of the Black Abyss Department nearby, then with a strong throw, tossed the person at Zhang Ze’s feet.
Wen Zou crouched down, examined the person, and said, “Not dead, just unconscious.”
Then slowly opened his eyes, which had been squinted shut.
In those eyes, two cold eyeballs rolled, reflecting the person’s appearance.
Wearing a black hood, draped in a dark cloak.
Under the hood, messy black hair, with a pair of crimson eyes looking indifferent.
Seemingly uninterested in anything in the world.
Zhang Ze made a sound of surprise.
Then he heard his close friend Wei Junyi shout loudly, “Is Qingyang a traitor?”
Achoo!
With a long knife in both hands leaving its sheath, the blade shimmered with a menacing aura.
But he didn’t strike.
Zhang Ze pressed his hand on the back of the knife.
“Captain?” Wei Junyi was confused.
Zhang Ze smiled and shook his head before turning to the man and said, “Brother Red Ghost, how did you find this place?”
The visitor was Luo Yan.
In the morning, after they dealt with the strange Basilisk Snake, Luo Yan left.
He came looking for them based on the information provided by Zeng Guangming.
At this moment, upon hearing the words.
Luo Yan coldly said, “The people from Qingyang City are making a big move, I thought they were surrounding and hunting a dragon lizard, hoping to find treasure.”
“So I came looking for you.”
“I didn’t expect that they were going to deal with you.”
Zhang Ze nodded, “Since you were able to find us, could it be that there is a gap in the encirclement at Qingyang’s side?”
Luo Yan nodded.
“Follow me.”
“I’ll take you away.”
“Let’s settle this between us.”
Zhang Ze knew he was referring to the incident where he had helped yesterday.
At that moment.
Several members of the Black Abyss Department surrounded Luo Yan.
One person said, “Captain, this guy came as soon as we mentioned him.”
“Maybe he’s someone from the Qingyang authorities.”
“On the surface, he’s offering us a way out, but it could be a dead-end.”
Zhang Ze was actually thinking the same thing.
The troops are retreating now.
He was also a bit hesitant.
At this moment.
Luo Yan calmly said, “Since that’s the case, feel free to go your own way, let’s each take care of themselves.”
After saying that, he tried to leave.
Several team members stopped him.
The person who spoke grinned wickedly and said, “Do you think you can just come and go as you please here?”
“How do I know if you leave, you won’t report to Qingyang?”
While speaking, the person reached out his hand towards Luo Yan’s throat.
Unexpectedly, the hand was lifted.
Suddenly, Luo Yan unleashed a fierce aura.
Those red eyes narrowed slightly.
A fist grew infinitely larger in the player’s sight.
The player saw some dragon scale-like things suddenly appear on that fist.
Moreover.
Several black horny substances appeared on Luo Yan’s fist.
Boom!
The player crossed his arms just in time.
Block Luo Yan’s iron fist.
But kept stepping back.
Followed by a scream, his arms shattered, bones and blood flying.
Luo Yan was stunned.
He had never expected such a powerful punch.
He hadn’t even used his Elemental Power.
With just his physical strength, he crushed the arms of a warrior at a Primary Level 2 realm.
But Luo Yan also wanted to show his strength.
So he didn’t hold back.
Approach deceitfully.
Bend knee and thrust.
The man’s chest instantly caved in, blood gushing out, falling to the ground dead.
“Such audacity!”
Wei Junyi shouted loudly.
The long sword raised.
Elemental Power burst forth.
Lunged forward.
A slash aimed at Luo Yan’s head.
Luo Yan’s eyes shone with a faint light as he gently pushed his thumb, and ‘Crack Star’ came out three inches from its sheath.
Just then.
A figure inserted between the two.
Zhang Ze!
He also erupted.
The temperature of the air around suddenly dropped.
Both Luo Yan and Wei Junyi were affected, feeling a chill all over their bodies, and their Elemental Powers were not running smoothly.
When Wei Junyi’s knife stopped and Luo Yan’s sword returned to its sheath.
Zhang Ze said, “Stop it, both of you!”
“Don’t hurt each other’s feelings.”
He wanted to accept Luo Yan, but didn’t want conflict with his close associate.
But the ‘Red Ghost’ was too ruthless, not getting along, and then killed one of his team members.
If no explanation is given.
He might have a hard time gaining the trust of the team as captain in the future.
Zhang Ze cleared his throat and was about to say something.
Suddenly a voice rang out, “The poaching group ahead, you are surrounded, surrender your weapons immediately!”
