Chapter 481: Chapter 125 Why Mention That Name!

Just minutes before the Green Forest faction discussed how to deal with that unknown Hero.

Kiambang and another Hero from the Northern Land had already fallen into a desperate situation.

The two Heroes stood back to back, defending a piece of high ground.

"Two Fiend Earth Tier, and a bunch of lackeys..." the Hero laughed, "To think we’d receive such treatment? Haha, not bad at all."

"Stay sharp." Kiambang tried to keep his tone steady.

At that moment, a dark shadow flashed past the edge of the rocks, seeming to want to flip over and come up.

Kiambang quickly fired a burst of bullets, forcing it to retreat.

But the rock the two of them were perched on was reduced in size once more, while more cracks formed on its surface.

"Be careful..."

Hearing the sound of reloading behind him, the Hero spoke in a low voice.

"I am being careful. But there’s no space here for quick movements and dodging..."

"That’s not what I meant." the Hero said, "You need to be careful when changing magazines. Save your bullets. Also, always have an explosive ready to detonate—you know what I mean."

Kiambang felt a moment of confusion.

The intent of the Hero was quite clear.

He needed to always leave bullets in the magazine for a potential suicide.

Cyber Martial Artists, unlike Natural Persons, couldn’t end their lives with a single bullet. Martial Artists knew the weaker spots on their heads, but even if they pressed the gun to their head and fired, it often took several bullets to kill themselves.

It would be extremely awkward if there weren’t enough bullets in the magazine at the moment when suicide was necessary.

Of course, Martial Ancestor had a complete philosophy of "valuing one’s life." He believed that everyone should preserve their useful body and only sacrifice themselves when it was "absolutely necessary."

But now, it was a situation where "suicide was the only option."

In the series of exchanges that had happened earlier, the two had already discovered that among the Green Forest faction, one was the Earthly Assembly Star. It was this Fiend Earth character who had caused Kiambang to suffer a disadvantage during the initial bout of Inner Strength combat.

Thankfully, with the skilled medium and close range Gunner by his side, they were able to retreat here while fighting back.

However, after the Earthly Assembly Star joined up with another Green Forest squad, the balance of power was immediately lost.

But for some reason, after gaining a significant advantage, the two Green Forest members didn’t immediately launch a thunderous assault, instead they continued to exert a constant pressure.

It is said that Earthly Assembly Star and Sky Fierce Star belong to the same bandit camp of the Green Forest.

And Sky Fierce Star has a nasty peculiarity of indoctrinating Heroes with the collective memory of the Green Forest, converting Heroes into Green Forest members.

Many promising young Heroes had already fallen to his trickery, becoming part of the Green Forest.

Even this Earthly Assembly Star was one of them.

If you encounter a subordinate of Sky Fierce, you must try your best to take your own life.

Otherwise, they may very well find themselves competing for rankings among the Tiger List Earth Fiends in half a year’s time!

"Ah, I understand," Kiambang sighed in relief, "It’s just a pity my skills are lacking and I’ve dragged you down."

The Flash Speed Sect prioritizes Inner Strength. Of course, their lineage emphasizes enhancing Neural Reflex speed, so some of their external strength isn’t too shabby. But after all, they are no match for the Hero behind him.

"Without your support, I probably wouldn’t have made it this far either. Let’s not blame each other." the Hero smiled, "Kiambang, my friend, to meet in the Yellow Springs today is also a kind of fate."

"Yes..." Kiambang sighed, "To die on the same year, same month, same day as a man like you, brother, wouldn’t be so bad..."

"Cough cough." At this moment, a third voice suddenly interjected into the conversation, "Brothers above, why be so pessimistic? Our stronghold values talented people the most. As long as we can set aside our prejudices and talk things through, you will certainly come to appreciate..."

"Shut your mouth!" The Hero shouted angrily, "Li Fanji! You were number one a few years ago, but look at what you’ve become now. If I were you, I would have killed myself a long time ago!"

"A few years ago, I thought the same," the Earthly Assembly Star said, "But today is different. If you’re willing to join our band on the mountain, you will come to think like me."

As the Earthly Assembly Star, Li Fanji spoke, he secretly communicated with drones.

These drones were carried by the Lackeys and were limited in number. If they were blown up by submachine guns before getting close, it would be very unsightly.

The drones could launch Magnetic Fiber Nets. This weapon was a mix of high-strength carbon fiber and linear electromagnets that could self-correct its course and fly towards the target. Once it touched the target, it would immediately contract tightly.

The difficulty of tearing this thing apart wasn’t much different than "crushing a diamond."

But the drones were still too fragile. Limited by their size and aerodynamics, the drones were too slow, and any Martial Artist with a basic understanding of Firearms could easily blast them to pieces.

Directly firing the nets also left them vulnerable to being nullified by long weapons.

Not to mention that any gun could temporarily take on this role.

The Earthly Assembly Star was taking risks with repeated probes to deplete the enemy’s ammunition and draw their attention. Next, these drones would take a detour, rise a hundred meters into the sky from a distance, and then shoot down the nets from above.

Next, it was time for him to forcefully control with his Inner Strength

Meanwhile, his accomplices would forcibly strip off the Heroes’ Prosthetic Bodies.

He laughed, "Sky Fierce values talent. It’s better for you to join our stronghold than to just die like this..."

"Did you just mention... ’Sky Fierce’?"

But the very next second, a voice startled him.

That voice had unexpectedly appeared within a hundred meters of them, and the tone was unfriendly.

It was a Martial Artist who had significantly enhanced his upper body, seemingly specialized in boxing techniques.

The Earthly Assembly Star didn’t know the newcomer’s approach and chuckled, "What’s the matter? Does this friend have a history with our Brother Sky Fierce?"

Xiang Shan nodded.

He felt as if he had returned to the mouth of that cave, just one step away from a world bathed in sunlight. A Hero lay there.

Xiang Shan still remembered the sensation in his hand when he had removed a piece of External Armor debris from that Hero.

The sworn enemy of this Hero was "Sky Fierce," one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Ganges in the Tiger List.

He nodded, "Ah yes, that’s right."

Xiang Shan glanced at the two Green Forest men before him. From their concealed stances, their external strength seemed nothing special, but he didn’t rule out the possibility that they specialized in Inner Strength or Firearms.

He had heard gunshots from afar, so he came to have a look.

He hadn’t expected to find such a nest... of creatures.

Xiang Shan said, "We can put the matter of the fridge on hold for now. I won’t be at peace until I smash this bunch of animals."

He addressed this statement to everyone present. Kiambang heard it, and the other comrades who were connected with him online heard it as well.

Almost simultaneously, a nasty wind began to howl.

A Fiend Earth Tier expert had already made a move.
