Chapter 69: Feng Xiu’s Call for Help

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Feng Xiu? What’s wrong? Tell me clearly.”

As soon as Lin Feng heard the voice, he knew that it was Feng Xiu. Ever since they had retreated to Dragonlith City, Feng Xiu had been like an unbridled wild horse. He disappeared for a few days in a row, having fun G.o.d-knows-where.

Unexpectedly, he ran into trouble now.

“Brother Feng, you have to save me. I was drinking with my friends at the bar when fleshworm dire beasts suddenly appeared. I tried my best to kill a few, but I realized that there were fleshworm dire beasts everywhere outside the bar. We’re heavily surrounded now. There are a lot of fleshworm dire

beasts, and there seems to be dire beast lords among them. Fortunately, a few of us are martial artists from the base, or everyone at the bar would be in danger.”

Lin Feng understood as well. Feng Xiu was indeed in a precarious situation. Moreover, if even someone of Feng Xiu’s caliber could not break out safely, there must be a great number of fleshworm dire beasts there.

“What’s your address?”

“Annie’s Bar on East Street.”

Lin Feng switched off his communicator and immediately ran towards the East Street as fast as he could.

The bar was filled with screams and cries. The air inside emitted a highly unpleasant smell that was a mix of alcohol, perfume and blood.

Many young girls in revealing clothes were curled up in the corners, trembling as they looked towards the exit of the bar.

Feng Xiu and five or six martial artists were blocking the door. Outside, many fleshworm dire beasts were faintly visible. Once they broke through the door and stormed the bar, the few hundred people in the bar would be finished.

Even though Feng Xiu and the others were very strong, they could not withstand the sheer number of dire beasts. The few of them were all clearly injured. There was also a minor injury on Feng Xiu’s arm, but he could still hold out.

“Feng Xiu, you really know Senior Lin Feng?”

“Heh, don’t worry. Brother Feng will definitely come. We just need to hold out for a while longer.”

Feng Xiu was not a smoker, but he felt a little anxious now and had a cigarette in his mouth. Amidst the smoke, he began to brag about when he and Lin Feng were sweeping up those dire beasts at the base.

“Feng Xiu, is your injury really fine? Why does it seem to be infected already?”

Indeed, a small, white and swollen b.u.mp seemed to have appeared at the small wound on Feng Xiu’s arm. It looked a little disgusting.

“You mean this wound? This isn’t a fresh wound. I received it during the decisive battle the last time. No big deal.” Feng Xiu shook his head, giving no thought to it.

More and more fleshworm dire beasts appeared outside. Feng Xiu was also quite put out. He had finally returned to the bustling city after much hards.h.i.+p, and was just about to relax with a few friends.

After all, he was tense almost every moment at the frontline. Now that he was back in the city, of course he wanted to relax properly.

He came to the bar with his friends and even hooked up with a few beautiful women. They were just about to have some fun when someone in the bar suddenly turned into a fleshworm dire beast.

Then, there was chaos. Countless fleshworm dire beasts appeared. The bar seemed to have turned into an apocalypse all of a sudden. Feng Xiu could only fight, but he could only barely resist them.

Even he himself was trapped and could not break out of the bar.

“If Brother Feng can arrive in time, no matter how many dire beasts there are, we’ll definitely be able to break out safely.” Feng Xiu consoled the other martial artists.

Boom.

The ground of the entire bar shook, and the door of the bar was fiercely besieged by the fleshworm dire beasts.

Feng Xiu’s countenance changed. He shouted, “Hold the line! We must hold the line! We can’t let them charge in!”

Although Feng Xiu did not consider himself a selfless person, as a martial artist, he naturally had to step forward and protect the ordinary people when facing so many savage dire beasts.

The duty of martial artists was to protect humanity. This was how practically everyone was taught since they were young, And when the dire beast crisis erupted this time, so did countless martial artists step up.

suddenly, a ma.s.sive fleshworm dire beast squeezed inside. It opened its b.l.o.o.d.y maws and bit a martial artist on the head.

The martial artist was instantly swallowed whole by the fleshworm dire beast. That was a Grade Seven professional martial artist, but he could not even block a single strike.

“A dire beast lord!”

Looking at the ma.s.sive dire beast, Feng Xiu could tell at a glance that it was a dire beast lord. Ordinary dire beast lords were comparable to professional Grade Nine martial artists. For the fleshworm dire beasts, in particular, they were not even ordinary dire beast lords.

Even peak Grade Nine professional martial artists might not be able to defeat the dire beast lords among the fleshworm dire beasts.

Although people like Lin Feng and Shui Yuansheng seemed to cut down dire beast lords effortlessly, for ordinary Grade Nine professional martial artists, encountering even one dire beast lord meant immense danger.

The fleshworm dire beast lord was extremely ferocious. After devouring a martial artist and a few ordinary people, its body only grew larger.

The fleshworm dire beasts seemed to be capable of increasing their strength rapidly by devouring the bodies of ordinary people and martial artists. However, on the battlefield of the decisive battle, the fleshworm dire beasts had never devoured any corpses at all. Even a fool could tell something was

amiss about the stark contrast in their behaviors before and after.

It was very likely that the fleshworm dire beasts had done it on purpose. As for why this was the case, Feng Xiu wasn’t sure. Perhaps it was some nefarious scheme of the fleshworm dire beasts. As a case in point, right now, the entire Dragonlith City had been plunged into chaos.

Feng Xiu was also a peak Grade Nine professional martial artist, and he was a genius of the Myriad Academy. Having followed Lin Feng for so long, he had also obtained quite a lot of points, which were all converted into strength.

At least, the profound martial arts he practiced were stronger than before.

Swish.

Feng Xiu slashed at the dire beast lord with his saber. The light of his saber ruthlessly struck the dire beast lord’s abdomen, inflicting a huge, b.l.o.o.d.y wound at once.

The dire beast insect roared furiously, and countless tentacles smacked towards Feng Xiu.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Feng Xiu utilized his agile movement technique and deflected the tentacles of the fleshworm dire beast with his saber. Then, he sought the right opportunity to strike and kill the fleshworm dire beast. However, the recovery speed of the fleshworm dire beast lord took Feng Xiu by surprise.

The initially huge wound on the dire beast was basically healed in only a dozen seconds or so. It appeared as if it was uninjured all along.

Although those ordinary fleshworm dire beasts also had a certain degree of recovery power, they were not as terrifying.

“Looks like I can only kill it completely by chopping off its head and dealing fatal damage to it.”

Feng Xiu’s expression was very grim. He naturally knew where the vital part of the fleshworm dire beast was—its head.

However, looking at the ma.s.sive body of the dire beast lord, charging over to chop off its head was easier said than done. Just the dozen or so tentacles were enough to seriously injure him.

He could not even approach it.

“What should I do?”

Feng Xiu was getting somewhat anxious as well. Now that the dire beast lord had struck, they could not hold out at all. The door to the bar was also slowly being broken down. Once the door was completely broken down, countless fleshworm dire beasts would pour in at once. Then, everyone in the bar

would be doomed.

“Brother Feng, where are you? If you don’t come soon, you’ll probably have to collect my corpse. No, most likely there won’t even be a corpse

All Feng Xiu could do was contact Lin Feng again using his communicator, leaving behind his “last words”.
