"Fight or shut up, why waste time with so many useless words?" Bai Ye looked at Zi Yuan and said, "I'll take on two, you take on one!"
After speaking, Bai Ye reached behind him, took off his sword box, and slammed it onto the ground. The sword box opened, and seven-colored rainbows flew out, heading forward.
Zi Yuan snorted coldly, then raised her broadsword and charged towards the other side.
The pig-headed man let out an enraged roar and swung his weapon forward.
Clang, clang, clang!
The pig-headed man's strength was not to be underestimated. He wielded a massive double-bladed axe. With a swing, he directly chopped through the incoming seven-colored flying swords.
However, the moment the seven-colored flying swords were knocked away, Bai Ye quickly formed a sword seal.
"Seven-colored sword energy!"
As Bai Ye's soft shout echoed, the knocked-away seven-colored flying swords hovered in mid-air. Then, seven-colored radiance bloomed. Immediately after, the seven swords danced, and seven sword energies of different colors slashed down simultaneously.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Explosive roars erupted, and the ground was pulverized. Dust and sand swirled up, scattering outwards.
Moments later, as the dust settled, the pig-headed man was covered in countless sword marks, his body stained red with blood.
Thump!
The pig-headed man knelt on the ground before collapsing.
But at this moment...
The pig-headed man who was fighting Gengar and Zi Yuan suddenly stopped. He disengaged from the fight and quickly walked towards his fallen comrade.
What's going on?
Bai Ye was utterly bewildered. The two pig-headed men squatted on the ground and grabbed their deceased companion'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 voraciously.
"Holy crap!" Bai Ye's eyes widened. "They even eat their own comrades?"
Zi Yuan said in a deep voice, "Ever since the Orc King was born, the Orc race has completely changed. They are like soulless walking dead, fighting madly without pain or fatigue. They devour other living beings, including their own kind. While consuming flesh and blood, they also ingest their comrades' pain and resentment, thereby becoming stronger!"
As Zi Yuan finished speaking, the two pig-headed men had already devoured most of their companion's body.
Then...
They raised their heads and roared, their scarlet eyes filled with bloodthirsty crimson light!
Bai Ye didn't need to scan them. From their sudden surge in aura, he could tell that the strength of these two pig-headed men had clearly increased, their physical attribute values likely rising.
In the next instant, the two pig-headed men lunged again, charging towards Bai Ye and Zi Yuan.
Gengar flickered and blocked in front of the pig-headed men, but was directly knocked away, tumbling on the ground. Immediately after, a pig-headed man reached Bai Ye and swung his axe.
Clang!
Bai Ye drew his Frost Condensation Sword and held it horizontally in front of him, followed by a crisp metallic clang!
The pig-headed men's physical attributes had indeed increased, but that didn't mean they could be stronger than Bai Ye. In fact, not to mention Bai Ye, Zi Yuan on the other side was also relentlessly beating a pig-headed man, showing no mercy for the hatred of her clan's extermination.
However, the pig-headed men's ability to grow stronger by devouring other creatures made Bai Ye vigilant. This ability was formidable. If there was a pig-headed man who had consumed countless other beings, they would be incredibly difficult to deal with.
As Bai Ye pondered this, he blocked the pig-headed man's axe with one hand. Then, with a sword seal, seven flying swords simultaneously flew out and pierced the pig-headed man's back.
Thwack, thwack, thwack...
Sounds of tearing flesh echoed continuously. The pig-headed man's back was riddled with bloody holes. With blood spraying, he finally fell to the ground.
Bai Ye glanced at his mission. The first task of killing pig-headed men had changed to 2/30. He then looked at Zi Yuan, who was still fighting on the side...
"Beautiful lady, I'm here to help!"
Bai Ye sprinted quickly. Taking advantage of a moment when Zi Yuan's weapon collided with the pig-headed man's, Bai Ye leaped directly onto the pig-headed man's back and thrust his Frost Condensation Sword into the opponent's side neck.
The pig-headed man's pupils constricted, then his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
Got a kill steal, so satisfying!
Zi Yuan didn't pay attention to Bai Ye's shameless act of stealing the kill. Instead, she looked ahead and said, "This is already the outskirts of the wetland swamp. The appearance of pig-headed men here indicates that the army has definitely started their 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 exclaimed in surprise, "You still want to defeat the Orc King and the Orc army by yourself?"
Zi Yuan looked confused. "Then why are we here?"
Bai Ye remembered his mission and decisively said, "Rescue the chieftain!"
Zi Yuan looked puzzled. "Rescue the chieftain?"
Bai Ye explained, "With so many pig-headed men, we definitely can't deal with them. So, what can we do? Of course, we can save one Lizardman and count it as one, then send them to the Demon Monster Country. In the future, when Rimuru battles the Orc King, these will all be combatants."
Orc King?
Bai Ye curled his lip. His brain wasn't malfunctioning; was that someone he could deal with?
According to the mission's information and the current trend, the Orc King was most likely Rimuru's opponent. And what Bai Ye could do was to stir up trouble in this war, benefiting as much as he could. In fact, Bai Ye felt that saving the Lizardmen was just the beginning.
Zi Yuan nodded. "You're right, we can only do what's within our capabilities. In that case, let's hurry."
"Wait..." Bai Ye said, "Let me try two draws first."
Zi Yuan asked, confused, "Two draws?"
With a clang!
As soon as Zi Yuan finished speaking, a giant gashapon machine crashed beside Bai Ye. Immediately after, accompanied by the sound of the machine spinning, a blue gashapon capsule fell out.
Ziwu Han Sha (Magic Treasure) (Blue): Made from the silk spun by silkworms living in the Ziwu Cold Tide. Effects: Frost Assault (transforms the cold silk into a cold tide for attack), Ice Sky Frost Ground (when used in an environment with water or ice, attack power increases by 20%), Sky Freeze (the cold tide formed by the cold silk covers the sky, raining down hail).
A magic treasure from the Xianxia region...
Bai Ye stroked his chin. The wetland swamp definitely had water, right?
Thinking this, Ziwu Han Sha should be quite useful under compatible environmental conditions.
As Bai Ye pondered, he put away Ziwu Han Sha and then said to Zi Yuan, "Do you want to try playing too?"
"Huh?" Zi Yuan pointed at herself. "How do I play?"
