Chapter 777: Skinned His Knee?
Ling Feng, Ye Zi and the others all widened their eyes when they saw Jiangnan directly twist Walker's neck!
"So brutal? If he kills the scout, will Fito still come down?"
Jiangnan grinned, carrying Walker's corpse into the nearby woods!
A minute later, Jiang Walker ran out of the woods!
He instructed: "Drag them in before fighting, don't rush!"
With that, he dove straight into the space gate!
Wang Ba widened his eyes, utterly incredulous: "He... this... what the hell?"
Qin Shou: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"Basic stuff. You haven't seen Brother Nan transform into a girl—now that's hot."
All the male comrades turned their heads, eyes sparkling. He can turn into girls too?
...
Fito and his group were still waiting at the space gate, frowning when Walker hadn't returned for so long.
Could Jiangnan have set an ambush at the entrance after all?
Just then, Jiang Walker poked his head out of the space gate, looking excited.
"Boss Fi, there's no ambush at all over there! You're worrying over nothing!"
"I've checked the whole area—not a single anomaly!"
"Let's hurry down and show them what a Starlight-level expert can do!"
Fito sneered: "Hmph, they're probably waiting for me in the ninth layer's unmined area. Fine!"
"Why did you take so long?"
Jiang Walker grinned: "I was scouting the area thoroughly to make sure everything was foolproof!"
"After all, that Jiangnan kid is sneaky as hell. Better safe than sorry!"
Fito nodded in satisfaction, hefting his Blood-Drinking Halberd and licking his lips.
"I'm going to use this very halberd to stain it with his people's blood, then chop him down!"
"Dying by his own weapon—I wonder what expression Jiangnan will have!"
With that, he waved his people forward and strode toward the space gate.
Jiang Walker curled his lips. Chop me? You're way too cocky!
I can't wait to see your expression when you get down there!
Fito's crew passed through the space gate.
Seeing the scene before him, Fito's smile froze instantly.
Over thirty thousand Longhorn Beetles? Several hundred people? Slingshots already set up?
He turned to Jiang Walker in fury: "This is what you call no ambush? Are you blind?!"
Then he paused. Wait!
Jiangnan had disguised himself as his subordinate before. Could this Walker also be Jiangnan in disguise?
Had the real Walker already died?
But by the time Fito realized this, it was too late.
Jiang Walker had already acted. White smoke rose from his body, and his right middle finger gleamed gold!
He jabbed his finger into Fito's bone armor!
Fito: (ꐦಥ口ಥ) AOOOW!
With a scream, Fito's body went rigid from paralysis!
Even if it was only for a brief moment, it was enough!
Jiangnan pulled out several bottles of Deadly Green Club and smashed them against Fito's head in a triple strike!
The stun effect made Fito's eyes roll back.
Taking the chance, Jiangnan grabbed his own Blood-Drinking Halberd!
He kicked Fito hard in the ass!
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, Fito was sent flying by Jiangnan!
He landed far from the space gate, right in the center of the encirclement!
Jiangnan charged forward with the Blood-Drinking Halberd, rushing to the top of Little Niu Bi's head!
Fito roared to the sky: "Jiangnan! I'll—"
Before he could finish, a dozen Dazzle Dance Grenades flew toward him from Jiangnan!
They landed right beside Fito and the group of American Explorers!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions rang out!
Multicolored electric light engulfed Fito and his men!
The roar stopped abruptly. Fito's eyes bulged—no matter how much he hated it, he couldn't suppress the urge to break into an impromptu dance!
The entire sequence was smooth as silk; Jiangnan had rehearsed it in his mind countless times!
Ling Feng and the others watched, dumbfounded!
Jiangnan stood on Little Niu Bi's carapace, grinning brilliantly: "Red Bulls! Activate your energy! FIRE!"
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Instantly, all thirty thousand Rage Longhorn Beetles no longer suppressed their rage!
They blew their pipes!
Columns of black smoke turned into high-speed streams, blasting toward Fito and his group!
Seeing thirty thousand black smoke pillars rushing toward him!
Fito nearly went crazy: (ꐦఠ益ఠ)!!!
It's farts!
These are farts!
Rage Longhorn Beetles were first discovered on the third level—how could he not know what this was?
Jiangnan is farting at me?!
And with thirty thousand of them!!!
Aaaah! Move, damn it!
[From Fito: Resentment Value +1001!]
This fight is impossible! Retreat! Fall back to the eighth level!
But caught in the Dazzle Dance Grenades, Fito was "blind to the fart before him, mind only on dancing!"
Amid the thunderous roars, the sky and earth changed color. Rolling black smoke completely engulfed Fito and the others!
Fito held his breath, his face turning blue!
He'd rather die than inhale!
But he couldn't suppress the urge to dance any longer!
One hand pointed to the sky, the other to the ground!
Fito took a deep breath through his wide nostrils in the black smoke!
His eyes rolled back, and he started foaming at the mouth!
└(||꒪ͦ.̫.̫꒪ͦ)┐
He opened his mouth and sang:
└(ಥ.̫.̫ಥ)┐: "Who's runnin' — fell on his nose—"
ヾ(ཀ.̫.̫ཀ)ゞ: "He chased a duck — got mud on his clothes—"
His earworm lyrics, combined with the "boom boom boom" thunderous rhythm of the Rage Longhorn Beetles!
Gotta say, it had a certain vibe!
Ling Feng and the others stared in shock!
What kind of suffocating operation is this—foaming at the mouth while dancing in rolling black smoke?!
He's even hitting the beat!
Meanwhile, the American Explorers were a mess of wild moves, stretching their bodies freely in the pitch-black smoke!
Electric butt dances, caterpillar dances, hula dances—all on full display, dancing and crying!
"Aaaah—it stinks so bad! So this is the 'no ambush'? There IS a 'fart' ambush!"
"Jiang Devil, I'll never be reconciled with you! Retreat! Retreat now!"
"Can't move! My legs won't obey me! We're doomed!"
"Then crawl! The space gate is right there! If we can just fall back to the eighth layer—"
But Jiangnan was on Little Niu Bi's carapace, doing the Scallion Dance and having a blast!
As if cheering for this feast!
"Haha! Little Niu Bi, give me something more explosive!"
The beetle leader understood immediately. What did Jiangnan mean?
It struck its two hind legs together, sending sparks flying!
Igniting the black smoke in the field!
Fito glared in fury: "How dare you?!"
"BOOM!"
Instantly, a massive explosion erupted in the field. Blazing flames shot into the sky!
The earth split and trembled. A huge mushroom cloud rose, and rolling gales peeled back layers of topsoil!
The very space seemed to warp from the blast!
The power of over thirty thousand Crowned Longhorn Beetles was simply heaven-defying!
A dozen people were blown to pieces on the spot, not even letting out a scream!
Those not killed were charred black, their clothes burned off, coughing up blood!
Fito's bone armor cracked from the explosion. White bones turned black!
And this was just the beginning!
As the explosion roared, the rage gas spewing from the tails of thirty thousand beetles ignited!
Each beetle's tail shot out a blue flame pillar thirty to forty meters wide and a kilometer long!
All these flame pillars converged into one place. The terrifying heat melted the rocks!
Turning the field into a molten furnace! Rolling waves of heat blasted toward them!
Ordinary Platinum- or Gold-level fighters couldn't withstand such torment!
Dozens were burned to ashes!
If some hadn't escaped back to the eighth layer before the fire started, this wave would have wiped out the entire American Explorer team!
Fito gritted his teeth. His bone armor was almost bursting from the heat!
Are you smelting steel here?!
If this keeps up, even a Starlight-level can't endure such abuse!
Finally, when the dance time ended, Fito prepared to rush back to the eighth layer to recover!
But to his despair, another dozen Dazzle Dance Grenades flew over!
The multicolored electric light flashed. Fito, who had barely moved two steps, started dancing again in the blazing flames!
Tears streamed down his face as he roared to the sky!
A new round of dancing began!
"Who's runnin' — fell on his nose—"
"He chased a duck — got mud on his clothes—"
ヾ(ཀ口ཀゞ)
"He tripped — skinned his knee—"
"Yeah — but it didn't break my skin though—"
[From Fito: Resentment Value +1000!]
Jiangnan: ???
What the hell is "skinned his knee"?
Where did Fito learn that song?
Under the continuous bombardment of thirty thousand powerful flame jets, Fito was roasted into charcoal!
Glaring in fury, Fito could only use his dance steps to slowly inch toward the space gate!
A few hundred meters—normally just a sprint!
But for Fito now, it was an eternity!
The farthest distance in the world is not when I stand before you and you don't know I love you!
But when the space gate is right in front of me, and I can't move my legs!
Jiangnan was in the middle of his Scallion Dance, laughing.
"I can see you're not having much fun. Your singing sounds weak!"
"Come on, brothers, set up the slingshots. Let's make our Starlight-level master really happy!"
Fito: O͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡╮(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)╭O͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡
"Ahaha—please don't! Have some humanity!"
