"Protect the leader!"
The woman blocking the path didn't even see what happened.
Normally, when they blocked the way, they would have activated an interference barrier, which could effectively prevent displacement skills like instantaneous flashing from passing through their defenses.
But Zhang Chen still vanished before their eyes and reappeared beside the leader.
How could this not shock them?
What's more, shouldn't all the women on the field be slaves? What was this man?
Most likely, a killer sent by the Supreme One!
"Wuwu!"
The Black Tail Swallow Legion was closest to the pipeline worm teleportation gate, so they were the first to encounter a large-scale attack from headless scorpions.
The outer guards were immediately thrown into disarray by the monster swarm, falling into a predicament of fighting alone.
"I have something to tell you!"
Zhang Chen said.
"A man? How did you sneak in here?"
The mixed-race woman looked at Zhang Chen vigilantly, holding a longbow in her right hand. With a swish, an energy arrow blew a headless scorpion that was pouncing on a guard from behind away.
These headless scorpions were quite tough. Although the explosion just now was fierce, it only caused some scales to fall off and flesh to be blown open; they were not dead.
It struggled to stand up and let out an angry shriek.
Swish!
The second arrow hit its head!
Bang!
The headless scorpion's tentacles were instantly blown to pieces, revealing broken bones and shattered internal organs within, and then it fell to the ground, motionless.
A guard immediately rushed forward and collected the corpse.
The mixed-race woman felt that Zhang Chen had no malicious intent, because if Zhang Chen had really wanted to kill her, the best time to strike would have been when he appeared without anyone noticing.
While shooting arrows to support the guards, she had a brief conversation with Zhang Chen.
"I know you want to assassinate the Supreme One. We're on the same page about that!"
"Do you have a way to find him?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"The Supreme One is arrogant and cunning; he won't show himself easily!"
"Only when we survive this current challenge and get the chance to be chosen by the nobles can we possibly get close to the Supreme One."
The mixed-race woman glanced at the greenish-blue ring on Zhang Chen's hand and said slowly.
At this moment, Zhang Chen also noticed that the ring on the mixed-race woman's hand was not dark red as he had imagined, but yellow.
"Are you and the Supreme One from the same batch of轮回者 (reincarnators)?"
"I thought all the轮回者 (reincarnators) from the same batch had defected to the Supreme One!"
Zhang Chen said in surprise.
Swish swish! Swish swish!
The mixed-race woman fired four arrows in quick succession, killing one of the charging headless scorpions and repelling two others. She herself was retreating while fighting.
The women from other camps, although not yet surrounded by headless scorpions, had no intention of coming to help.
In their opinion, protecting their own people was the most important thing, and there was no need to die for people from other camps.
Thus, the main force of the headless scorpion swarm fiercely attacked the Black Tail Swallow Legion, forcing them to retreat steadily.
The other camps were basically watching from the sidelines.
"Not everyone agrees with the Supreme One's actions, and not everyone will be subdued by his power!"
The mixed-race woman retreated seven or eight steps and then looked at Zhang Chen, saying,
"My name is Angelina. What's yours?"
"My name is Zhang Chen!"
"Zhang Chen, I don't think now is a good time to chat, do you?"
Angelina fired arrows continuously, but still couldn't stop the surging tide of headless scorpions.
After all, the other members of the Black Tail Swallow Legion were轮回者 (reincarnators) with dark red rings. Fighting against a Type VII mutated creature one-on-one was a bit strenuous; they could only ensure victory without injury by fighting two against one.
"Watch out behind you!"
Angelina shouted.
Zhang Chen turned his head and saw countless tentacles of a headless scorpion lunging towards his face.
Bang!
Zhang Chen threw a punch.
Plop!
The headless scorpion in front of him was blown to pieces by its immense power and the sudden burst of shockwaves.
Juice and internal organ fragments flew backward.
"Disgusting fellow..."
Zhang Chen took out a towel from his ring and wiped his right hand.
He thought this punch would send the opponent flying and also knock away the large group of enemies behind it.
How satisfying would that scene be!
He didn't expect this fellow, who looked tough, to be so fragile and brittle, getting smashed with one punch.
"I didn't expect you to have some skill!"
Angelina glanced at Zhang Chen's hand again and, after confirming it was a greenish-blue ring, praised him.
"My skills are much stronger than you imagine. If I exert myself, I can kill all these monsters instantly!"
Zhang Chen said seriously.
"Pfft!"
Angelina couldn't help but chuckle.
Angelina found Zhang Chen somewhat cute and fond of bragging.
Being able to kill all the monsters with one exertion? Even she might not be able to do that, let alone him, a轮回者 (reincarnator) who came two batches later than her?
She naturally didn't believe it, but she felt that this man had the courage to sneak into the group of female slaves to assassinate the Supreme One, so his courage was commendable. There was no need to dampen his enthusiasm, so she said solemnly,
"Alright, you're very strong, but we don't need to show off too much right now. What if we scare the Supreme One away!"
Zhang Chen didn't notice Angelina's expression change. Hearing her say that, he thought it made sense.
If he showed his true strength and made the so-called Supreme One feel fear, he would definitely choose to flee. People who could survive in the apocalypse for so long understood the principle of developing stealthily.
If the Supreme One knew he was not to be trifled with and avoided him everywhere, it would be difficult to find someone in such a vast Water Blue Star.
Moreover, Zhang Chen was currently in the dark, and the Supreme One was in the light. This was a good opportunity for Zhang Chen to catch him.
If their positions were reversed, with the Supreme One in the dark and Zhang Chen in the light...
Although these yellow-ringed轮回者 (reincarnators) couldn't threaten Zhang Chen, they could threaten the survivors under Zhang Chen.
If they sneaked into the city to kill wantonly while Zhang Chen and the main fighting force were away, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, this battle must be approached with caution, and success must be achieved in one go!
"Then I'll... hold back my strength!"
Zhang Chen nodded and said.
"Haha, alright, then please hold back your strength and don't destroy everything here, or our plan will be ruined!"
Angelina said with a smile.
Actually, she was the leader of the Black Tail Swallow Legion. Due to her status and reputation, her subordinates dared to joke with her, and she had to talk to them seriously every day.
However, Angelina was a person who rarely smiled, but for the sake of her image as the legion leader, she had to restrain her personality and pretend to be serious.
Now that she had met such an interesting person like Zhang Chen, her suppressed personality had been reawakened.
"Ha, what an interesting person!"
