"Fight then fight, why talk so much nonsense? Waste of time!" Bai Ye looked at Zi Yuan and said, "I'll deal with two, you deal with one!"
As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, he reached out and took the sword box from his back, slapped it on the ground, and then the sword box opened. The Seven-Colored Rainbow flew out and headed forward.
Zi Yuan snorted coldly, then lifted his broad saber and charged towards the other side.
The pig-headed man let out an angry roar, then took out his weapon and swung it forward.
Clang, clang, clang!
The strength of the pig-headed man was not to be underestimated. In his hand was a giant double-bladed axe. After it was swung forward, it directly cleaved the incoming Seven-Colored flying sword.
However, the moment the Seven-Colored flying sword was knocked away, Bai Ye quickly formed a sword seal.
"Seven-Colored Sword Qi!"
Following Bai Ye's soft exclamation, the knocked-away Seven-Colored flying sword hovered in mid-air. Then, the seven colors instantly bloomed, and the seven swords danced, unleashing seven sword qi of different colors, slashing down simultaneously.
Boom, boom, boom!
Explosive roars erupted, the ground was pulverized, and dust and sand billowed outwards.
After a moment, as the dust settled, the pig-headed man was covered in dense sword marks, his body stained red with blood.
Thump!
The pig-headed man knelt on the ground, then his body crashed onto the earth.
But at this moment...
The pig-headed man who was fighting with Gengar and Zi Yuan suddenly stopped moving, broke away from the fight, and quickly walked to the side of the fallen pig-headed man.
What's going on?
Bai Ye was bewildered. The two pig-headed men squatted on the ground and grabbed their fallen comrade's arms.
Rip, rip!
In the next instant, the two pig-headed men directly tore off their companion's arms, put them in their mouths, and began to chew vigorously.
"Damn it!" Bai Ye's eyes widened. "They even eat their own comrades?"
Zi Yuan said in a deep voice, "Ever since the Pig-Head Emperor was born, the Pig-Head race has completely changed. They are like mindless walking dead, fighting madly without feeling pain or fatigue. They devour other creatures, including their own companions. While consuming flesh and blood, they also devour their companions' pain and resentment, thus becoming stronger!"
As Zi Yuan spoke, the two pig-headed men had already eaten most of their comrade's body.
Then...
They raised their heads and roared, their blood-red eyes filled with a savage glow!
Bai Ye didn't need to scan; from the sudden surge in their aura, he could tell that the strength of these two pig-headed men had clearly increased, and their physical attributes should have become higher.
In the next moment, the two pig-headed men lunged forward again, charging at Bai Ye and Zi Yuan.
Gengar flickered and blocked in front of the pig-headed man, but was directly sent flying, tumbling on the ground. Then, the pig-headed man rushed to Bai Ye and swung his axe.
Clang!
Bai Ye drew the Frost Condensation Sword and held it horizontally in front of him, and then a crisp metallic clang resounded!
The physical attributes of the pig-headed man had indeed improved, but that didn't mean they were stronger than Bai Ye. In fact, let alone Bai Ye, Zi Yuan on the other side was also chasing and beating a pig-headed man, not holding back at all due to the hatred of his extinguished clan.
However, the pig-headed man's ability to grow stronger by devouring other creatures made Bai Ye wary. This ability was very powerful. If there was a pig-headed man who had devoured countless other creatures, they would definitely be very difficult to deal with.
As Bai Ye thought, he held the pig-headed man's axe with one hand, then formed a sword seal. Seven flying swords flew simultaneously, piercing into the pig-headed man's back.
Rip, rip, rip...
The sound of tearing flesh echoed. The pig-headed man's back was pierced with numerous bloody holes. With blood spurting, he finally fell to the ground.
Bai Ye glanced at the mission. The first task of killing a pig-headed man had become 2/30. He then looked at Zi Yuan, who was still fighting on the side...
"Beauty, I'm here to help you!"
Bai Ye sprinted forward. Seizing the moment when Zi Yuan's weapon collided with the pig-headed man's, Bai Ye jumped directly onto the pig-headed man's back and plunged the Frost Condensation Sword into its side neck.
The pig-headed man's pupils contracted, then his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
Killed an enemy x1, wonderful!
Zi Yuan didn't care about Bai Ye's shameless act of snatching a kill. Instead, she looked ahead and said, "This is already the outskirts of the marsh. The presence of pig-headed men here means the main army has definitely begun its offensive, or has already invaded the Lizardmen's territory."
Bai Ye nodded. "And then?"
Zi Yuan said, "With just the two of us, how can we be a match for them?"
Bai Ye was surprised. "You still want to defeat the Pig-Head Emperor and the pig-headed army alone?"
Zi Yuan looked puzzled. "Then why are we here?"
Bai Ye remembered his mission and decisively said, "Rescue the clan leader!"
Zi Yuan asked doubtfully, "Rescue the clan leader?"
Bai Ye said, "Look at so many pig-headed men, we definitely can't defeat them. So, what can we do? Of course, we can save one Lizardman, then send them to the monster country. When Rimuru fights the Pig-Head Emperor in the future, these will be part of the fighting force."
Pig-Head Emperor?
Bai Ye pouted. Was his brain malfunctioning? Was that someone he could deal with?
Based on the mission details and the current trend, the Pig-Head Emperor was very likely Rimuru's opponent. What Bai Ye could do was to stir up trouble during this war, gain as many benefits as possible. In fact, Bai Ye felt that saving the Lizardmen was just the beginning.
Zi Yuan nodded. "You're right, we can only do what we can. In that case, let's go quickly."
"Wait..." Bai Ye said. "Let me draw twice first."
Zi Yuan asked confusedly, "Draw twice?"
With a clang!
As soon as Zi Yuan finished speaking, a giant gashapon machine crashed beside Bai Ye. Then, accompanied by the sound of the machine rotating, a blue capsule fell out of the machine.
Zi Wu Han Sha (Magic Treasure) (Blue): Made from the silk spun by silkworms living in the Zi Wu Cold Tide. Effects: Frost Invasion (transforms the cold gauze into a cold tide for attack), Ice Sky Frost Earth (increases attack power by 20% when used in a water or ice environment), Heaven Freezes (the cold tide formed by the cold gauze fills the sky, raining hail).
A magic treasure from the Xianxia region...
Bai Ye stroked his chin. There must be water in the marsh, right?
Thinking this, Zi Wu Han Sha should be quite useful under compatible environmental conditions.
As Bai Ye thought, he put away Zi Wu Han Sha and said to Zi Yuan, "Do you want to have a go too?"
"Ah?" Zi Yuan pointed to herself and asked, "How do I play?"
