Chapter 167: The Name of the Monster Leader
“Miao Wu!!”
The cat monster, barely out, was hit by a fireball in the chest. Her already painful cries became even sharper!
At this moment, Fēi Rèn noticed that the newly grown arm of the cat monster was a bloody mess. It should have instantly regenerated, yet it hadn’t healed after so long. This wound was as effective as the Purification Blade in stopping the monster’s regeneration!
The monster organization had made such a weapon to counter monsters for human contestants. Was it to increase the excitement of the competition? Tsk…
However, while thinking this, Fēi Rèn did not stop her movements! The instant the black-haired boy fired, she leaped to the right side of the cat monster and cut off her still regenerating right arm!
“Fire!”
After completing this action, Fēi Rèn immediately crouched down and moved aside. Then, a rock bullet shaped like an iron cone forcefully pierced the cat monster’s chest!
“Miao—”
The cat monster screamed again, and seeing this, Fēi Rèn narrowed her eyes. She aimed the tip of her blade at the tail end of the rock cone embedded in the cat monster’s chest—
The rock cone had already entered the cat monster’s chest, probably close to her Magic Core. With a little more help from her blade, the rock cone would pierce through the Magic Core, ending this absurd competition—
“Watch out!!”
But just then, suddenly, the urgent voice of the black-haired boy came from behind! Then there was an explosion, and Fēi Rèn involuntarily turned her head. She saw the black-haired boy covering his injured left arm, blocking himself behind her. Blood splattered on her face, leaving her stunned…
What happened?
“Miao Wu!”
While Fēi Rèn was distracted, the severely wounded cat monster jumped several times and disappeared into a building!
“What a pity, we couldn’t get rid of the toughest one!”
At this moment, a muscular man with dark skin walked out, holding a small metal ball stained with blood. Clearly, he was the one who had attacked.
“Hey! How are you?!”
Seeing the black-haired boy protecting her, Fēi Rèn forgot about the fleeing cat monster. She hurriedly knelt down and anxiously looked at the boy’s arm, which was bleeding profusely…
“Don’t worry, I won’t die…”
Although the boy said this, sweat beads were clearly visible on his forehead. He was obviously in pain…
“Why!”
At this moment, Fēi Rèn raised her eyes, looking at the muscular man with incomprehension. She really didn’t understand… If she could destroy that Magic Core, the absurd competition would end!
Those still alive, including the one who just fired, would all survive. That’s how it should be!
“But I can’t let you end the game now,” the muscular man said matter-of-factly. “How many people have died so far? If the game ended now… how many Blue Star Coins could I still get?”
What…
Hearing these words, Fēi Rèn felt a chill in her limbs. She never thought that the muscular man shooting at her was for this reason. At first, she even thought he might be aiming for the cat monster but missed and hit her instead…
“You’re kidding!”
A surge of anger rose in her heart, and Fēi Rèn shouted loudly, “For such a reason, you would even attack others, wanting so many compatriots to die—”
“A few deaths, what’s the big deal?”
Just as Fēi Rèn started speaking, the muscular man impatiently raised the metal ball in his hand. Clearly, he didn’t want to listen to her preaching and threw the metal ball precisely towards her head—
“Ding!”
Just as the metal ball was about to hit Fēi Rèn’s forehead, Fēi Rèn swung her katana and split the ball in two!
Huh?
Feeling the connection with the metal ball disappear, the muscular man stood there, stunned for two seconds… A decisive person could have taken advantage of this moment to kill him, but Fēi Rèn chose to pick up the boy and quickly run away from the scene!
Although the muscular man wanted to kill Fēi Rèn, even if she was furious at him, she had no intention of killing him. Instead, she hoped that he would hide somewhere after his weapon was destroyed and stop harming others.
However…
“I must kill her!”
Looking at the split metal ball, the muscular man’s desire to kill Fēi Rèn grew stronger!
“If such power is something she gained in this competition, it’s fine. But if she always had it…”
He clenched his fist, saying viciously, “Even if she hinders me in this competition, she won’t let me off when we return to reality!”
——————
[Congratulations to all participants, the first invasion by a leader-level monster has been repelled. The next invasion will be in five hours. Please prepare accordingly.]
“Hospital… hospital…”
Carrying the boy, Fēi Rèn ran swiftly through the streets! Even with the weight of the boy, she moved nimbly. After such a long battle, she still had plenty of energy left.
Although there were no doctors in the virtual city’s hospital, there would surely be bandages and medicine. At least there was a chance to save the boy—
“Thank you, put me down…”
At this moment, the weak voice of the boy came from behind, and Fēi Rèn replied loudly, “Don’t say that! How could I abandon you to die!”
Just now… she had been forced to watch several lives slip away before her eyes. It was all the fault of the monster leader! Now that there was a chance to save someone, how could she leave this boy who was injured saving her?
“You’re really kind…”
Hearing this, the boy asked softly, “By the way, what’s your name…”
“My name is Líng Nài, what’s yours?”
“My name is Bái Yǔ—”
As he said this, Bái Yǔ revealed a playful smile. Come to think of it, she had never really cared about the monster leader’s name.
At this moment, Fēi Rèn also saw the distant hospital. Her eyes lit up, and she ran toward the hospital with renewed vigor—
But what she didn’t expect was that as soon as she reached the hospital entrance, she saw a thin man holding a large machete standing at the door. He then said unwelcomingly to Fēi Rèn, “Get lost, or don’t blame me for my ruthless blade.”
