Chapter 258: Chapter 47 Old Friends Send Off, Newcomers Embark (First Update for Monthly Pass Votes)_3

[Ah? She hinted so obviously, and you just let her go? Boring, the Tai Chu Scroll expects you to see rivers form from streams.]

[Having dealt with that little interlude, you today are brimming with fighting spirit, ready to launch an attack.]

[You find yourself in the nearby ruins, where you pick up eight steel rods, tying them behind your waist; this is your favorite weapon.]

[Once everything is prepared, you head towards the frontier.]

[This place is a little over a hundred meters from the border, and you can see some scattered monster footprints on the ground at a distance. You got a good night’s sleep last night, and it was exceptionally comfortable—you really like this feeling, almost as if sleeping inside the safe zone’s walls.]

[Safe, reliable, ready to receive support from the Star Tower at any moment.]

[It seems like you enjoy this feeling of flirting with the barrier between life and death, moving in and out of it.]

[Less than a mile forward, and you enter a dense jungle; it’s deep and eerie, with strange noises occasionally sounding as if there are eyes watching you from everywhere.]

[Within ten minutes, you encounter the first wave of enemies, bad luck it seems; they are five Black Widow Spiders.]

[At this moment, the five Black Widows are attacking two female belly water eels, which are hugely swollen as they are using surrogacy to bear children.]

[You’re delighted, directly joining in the battle from afar with your steel rod spear. Using your Throwing Skill, you pin one of the Black Widows to the ground with a throw; sadly, it doesn’t finish it off.]

[What exactly are you happy about?]

[Smelling a human scent, both parties abandon their fight and immediately team up to attack you.]

[You don’t retreat but advance instead, showing ferocious strength. You know the Black Widow’s weak spot. After accumulating power with "Kua Fu Chasing the Sun," you use "Mountain Capturing" to punch the first arriving spider, which is as big as a water tank, sending it flying. Then you follow up with a floating eight-hit combo, with the Eight Spider Spears piercing back and forth from eight directions, hitting weak points, successfully killing it on the spot.]

[True to form, you really know the Black Widow’s body inside and out.]

[Successful with one move, you plan to repeat the trick.]

[However, their numbers are too many.]

[Your attack is interrupted, and soon you find yourself in the most awkward position, pinned to the ground and being pummeled. You’re unable to unleash Kua Fu Chasing the Sun and can only activate Jingwei Filling the Sea to withstand the assault.]

[Attack and defend; you are strong. Had it been any other class, you would have been pounded into mincemeat by now, but you’re still resisting. This is the confidence the Warrior class gives you, a born punching bag.]

[In the midst of battle, you press the button for Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, and she starts singing loudly, "Hey girl across the way, look over here." A few spiders, briefly shocked, quickly roll around on the ground, foaming at the mouth from their oral appendages, attempting to resist the Life-taking Mantra.]

[Nice! True to Narrow Sleeve Guanyin’s reputation, handling four Black Widows of the same rank.]

[Psychic attacks are very effective on them, but the belly water eels are not bothered.]

[Feeling the pressure lessen, you get up and start pounding with a series of punches, not minding the lacerations on your body. The two belly water eels, being pregnant, are inconveniently bulky and gradually weaken, being chased and beaten by you. You’re fighting two at once and still getting the upper hand.]

[They are no match for you, and you’re about to kill them.]

[Just at that moment, a big mouth suddenly emerges from below the water, swallowing you whole.]

[Ouch, it’s a golden armored catfish that has been lurking for a long time. It’s at least Second Rank and skilled in fishing, initially waiting here for the fight between the black spiders and the belly water eels to end. Now that you have arrived, it takes advantage of your battle like a fisherman benefiting from a fight between snipe and clam.]

[Its stomach acid can dissolve steel, and despite your strength, you lasted only ten minutes before it slowly nibbled you away, little by little. It blinks its big mouth and raises a large feeler towards you:]

[Brother, you taste so good!]

[You have died, and this expedition comes to an end, calculating...]

[Evaluation: No words needed, you are truly fierce, single-handedly bursting a 5+2 mixed species combo, an invincible move that would scare Transcendents of the same rank to death.]

[But all your fierce actions, yet your achievements are 0/5.]

[That said, when out and about, one must consider influence, consider background; what use is your ability to fight?]

[You have received an item: No More Feeding (Common).]

[No More Feeding (Common): Use this item to stop teammates from maliciously feeding the enemy. Within a certain range, forcefully retreat them ten meters.]

[Number of times opened today 2/3]
