Eat Little Almonds

Chapter 52 You'll Know if Brother Yu Can Take it Down

Yang Xiangdi opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Hearing the sound, Zuo You and the others looked up and sure enough, they clearly saw someone riding on another person, flying over their heads.

"Could this be the legendary man-on-man action?" Zhao Ziyue covered her small mouth in astonishment.

"That's not right... Did you guys notice, that figure on top looks familiar... very much like Qiao Yu!" Zuo You said.

"Huh?"

Ma Fei immediately scrutinized the figure carefully.

"Now that you mention it, Zuo You, it does look a bit like him!"

"Hey, how can you see clearly from so far away? Just knock him down and you'll know if it's Brother Yu! Come on, move aside a little, don't accidentally injure him."

Yang Xiangdi directly waved his staff.

"Earth Dragon Bomb!"

Qiao Yu, flying in the sky on Blitz, suddenly felt a dangerous aura.

The next second, a stream of earth dragon breath engulfed him and Blitz, and the critically wounded Blitz died directly in the sky without even seeing the enemy.

Before his death, Blitz used his last bit of strength to transmit the message that Qiao Yu was a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body of the human race to the nearest Huben Army Commander.

Qiao Yu had no flying ability. After losing Blitz as his mount, he fell straight down from the sky.

"Damn! It's Brother Yu, it really is Brother Yu!" Yang Xiangdi waved his arms excitedly.

"Brother Yu, how did you end up here? Did you come specifically to find us?"

Qiao Yu: "..."

"Brother Yu, why aren't you saying anything?" Yang Xiangdi asked in confusion.

Qiao Yu: "..."

"Brother Yu, are you unhappy?"

Qiao Yu: "..."

Qiao Yu was having a hard time finding a suitable word to describe his mood. He glanced at his health bar.

1600/1830

Blitz hadn't even taken off much of his health, but Yang Xiangdi's Earth Dragon Bomb had taken off over a hundred points. Good brother!

Eventually, due to gravitational potential energy, half of Qiao Yu's body was buried in the ground, leaving only his chest and above exposed.

He looked like a green onion that had just sprouted from the soil.

"Brother Yu! Great! To think I'd see you in this dungeon!" Yang Xiangdi crouched down next to Qiao Yu.

"Yeah, Qiao Yu, how did you suddenly appear in this dungeon?" Zuo You and Zhao Ziyue also looked curious.

"..." Qiao Yu said speechlessly, "How about you pull me out of the ground first before we chat?"

"1, 2, 3, pull!"

Whoosh!

Yang Xiangdi and Ma Fei, on the left and right, pulled Qiao Yu out of the soil like a radish, leaving a large pit.

Qiao Yu's mood was indescribably complicated. He hadn't expected that Yang Xiangdi and the others would also choose the Mechanical Kingdom dungeon.

What he didn't expect even more was that Yang Xiangdi, that idiot, would directly knock him out of the sky...

He should have told Blitz to fly a little higher.

"Brother Yu, tell us quickly, how did you end up here!" Yang Xiangdi still hadn't realized that something was wrong, and continued to relentlessly question Qiao Yu.

"It's a long story..."

Qiao Yu was interrupted by Ma Fei as soon as he opened his mouth!

"Heh! If you ask me, he's just afraid that we'll surpass him, so he secretly entered the dungeon. This way, he can create the impression that he's not grinding, but still very strong."

"It's just like those academic geniuses who play with their phones in class, but secretly turn on the lights in their dorms at night to grind through years of college entrance exam prep! Qiao Yu, I've seen through your dark intentions!"

Ma Fei wore an expression that said, "I've seen through you long ago."

Qiao Yu: "..."

He was now extremely curious about one question: why weren't any of his friends normal?

"Ma Fei! Don't say that about Qiao Yu!" Zuo You glared at Ma Fei, then turned her head and looked at Qiao Yu gently. "Qiao Yu, now that you're here, let's complete the mission together!"

"Uh... I'm afraid that won't work."

Qiao Yu looked at his system panel, where the mission had changed.

[Hidden Mission: Obtain the Mechanical Heart and escape the pursuit of the Mechanical Kingdom. Difficulty: D-rank]

[Mission Reward: Depends on the player's completion.]

Compared to Yang Xiangdi and the others' mission to clear out the Huben Mechanical Legion, Qiao Yu's mission was clearly more difficult. He began to explain to Zuo You and the others.

"What? You actually triggered a hidden mission on your own? You deserve to die! You really deserve to die!"

Ma Fei was so anxious that he almost exploded on the spot. The benefits brought by the Nightmare Village hidden dungeon last time were obvious, so what would happen if Qiao Yu had a hidden dungeon all to himself this time?

Qiao Yu smiled wryly and touched his nose. How could he be blamed? He didn't know that Zuo You and the others were in the dungeon before.

"Tell me quickly! How did you trigger the hidden dungeon!" Ma Fei's eyes were bloodshot with anxiety.

"Find a person named Professor Hua Jun and protect him."

"Where is that Professor Hua Jun? Where is he now?"

"In the core base of the Mechanical Kingdom."

Ma Fei: "..."

They were already at E-rank difficulty just by clearing out a northern Huben Mechanical Legion, so wouldn't going to the core base be at least D-rank?

"Forget it, forget it, you go! I don't need a hidden dungeon! I, Ma Fei, can still defeat you! Kill!"

Ma Fei vented all his resentment on the Mechanical Legion, and many robots were overthrown by Ma Fei.

"Yeah, Qiao Yu, since our missions are different, you should go first." Zuo You also nodded, urging Qiao Yu.

"I can't leave."

"Why?"

"My mount was killed by Yang Xiangdi." Qiao Yu pointed at Yang Xiangdi.

"It's a misunderstanding, Brother Yu! Ma Fei told me to do it! I said there was someone in the sky who looked like you, and Ma Fei told me to quickly knock him down! It's all Ma Fei's fault!"

Yang Xiangdi repeatedly protested.

"Alright, shut up!" Qiao Yu rolled his eyes.

He knew exactly what kind of person Yang Xiangdi was. This fatty seemed honest on the surface, but was actually very cunning!

"It's okay, Brother Yu, let's go touch your mount's soul core!"

The carefree Yang Xiangdi touched Blitz's soul core and actually got a piece of equipment!

[Lunar Regeneration Device]

Rank: D-rank

Effect: Increases healing effect on others by 30%

Class Restriction: None

"Thank you, handsome Yang Xiangdi!" Zhao Ziyue happily accepted the equipment.

"Hey, why didn't the equipment that dropped work for mages? Your mount isn't very good, Brother Yu!" Yang Xiangdi complained.

"Shut up!" Qiao Yu wanted to beat Yang Xiangdi up whenever this matter was brought up.

"Qiao Yu, what are you going to do next?" Zuo You asked.

"There's no choice, I can only follow you and attack from the rear." Qiao Yu shrugged helplessly.

He had originally planned to infiltrate the core base of the Mechanical Kingdom with Blitz's identity, steal the Mechanical Heart, and then run away.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. He ran into Yang Xiangdi, that little devil, and now he could only enter on foot.

"Okay, let's fight side by side!" Zuo You shouldered her giant shield, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

With the addition of Qiao Yu, this human-shaped bulldozer, the already crumbling Huben Mechanical Legion suffered even more defeats.

These robots racked their brains trying to figure out why these five humans were so perverted.

In their memories, humans were very weak, with bodies as fragile as paper that would break at the slightest touch.

But now, on the battlefield, it was the robots who were breaking at the slightest touch.

Fortunately, Monde finally arrived!

"What's going on? Why have you been beaten into such a miserable state by four humans? How did you become a commander? If I put a piece of meat on the ground, even a dog would be better at commanding than you!"

As soon as Monde saw the defeated army, he flew into a rage and began to scold Yixiu De, the commander of the Huben Army.

"Colonel Monde, there are more than four! Another pervert came along later, he seems to be the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body of the human race that Lord Blitz mentioned in his message before his death!"
