Chapter 125: Section 126: If you didn’t want my help, you should have said so earlier


    Roar!


    Two Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, one in front and the other behind, charged at Lord Zhenjin.


    With a flick of his Silver Lightning thin sword, Lord Zhenjin immediately drew a spray of Blood Pearls. The Monkey-tailed Brown Bear behind him convulsed in severe pain, its movements becoming distorted.


    Lord Zhenjin recoiled back, avoiding the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear in front.


    But perhaps because he couldn’t see behind him, or perhaps because his peripheral vision was obstructed by the injured Monkey-tailed Brown Bear, he failed to notice that another Monkey-tailed Brown Bear had moved in to fill the gap.


    When this Monkey-tailed Brown Bear attacked, Lord Zhenjin showed a look of surprise and could only raise his sword to defend.


    ...


    With a slap, his thin sword was knocked out of his hand by the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.


    “Woof, woof, woof!” The Blue Dog Fox Wolf barked excitedly upon seeing this scene.


    Without his thin sword Silver Lightning, Lord Zhenjin’s situation became even more awkward.


    He could only dodge left and right, no longer capable of counterattacking.


    He seemed to know that continuing this way would surely lead to his death in battle, so he made a desperate attempt to break through.


    But as soon as a Monkey-tailed Brown Bear blocked the exit, Lord Zhenjin’s breakout plan was doomed. He could only rely on pulling the movements of the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears to create gaps in their formation.


    However, achieving this was easier said than done?


    Blue Dog Fox Wolf was nearby, directing the fight, and it barked continuously, preemptively thwarting all of Lord Zhenjin’s breakout attempts.


    Bang.


    A muffled sound erupted as Lord Zhenjin was finally knocked down by a Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.


    He rolled continuously, dodging the successive attacks of the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, and momentarily ended up dusty and slightly kneeling on the ground.


    “No!” Zong Ge’s shout came from the hillside.


    Even though he was chasing with all his might, the delay caused by the Underground Giant Worm had cost him too much time, leaving a significant distance between him and Lord Zhenjin.


    Seeing that Lord Zhenjin was about to be overwhelmed, he could only continue sprinting.


    “Woof, woof!” yelled the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, as if to say—finish him!


    The Monkey-tailed Brown Bears drew closer again.


    Just then, Lord Zhenjin began to pray loudly.


    “Holy Emperor, my Lord, Thy knight fights to the death, unafraid in the face of danger! Please grant me the strength to stand.”


    No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lord Zhenjin’s body began to swell.


    He had been just a young man, not very tall and rather slender, but now his whole body inflated like it was filled with air, becoming tall and robust, almost as tall as a standing Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.


    This caused his well-fitting leather armor to burst off him. Only strips of cloth hung on his body.


    Seeing Lord Zhenjin suddenly destroy his clothes and armor and stand up defiantly, morale soared. Zong Ge and Blue Dog Fox Wolf were taken aback, and the charging momentum of the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears was visibly reduced.


    Lord Zhenjin continued to pray, shouting loudly, “Great Emperor above, my Lord, please bestow upon me Golden Armor, making me indestructible!”


    The next moment, Lord Zhenjin’s exposed skin underwent a Mutation into a scorpion shell.


    The armor of a Silver Level gun scorpion, which was of a dark golden color.


    The Monkey-tailed Brown Bears finally rushed up to Lord Zhenjin.


    But by that time, Lord Zhenjin had transformed into a small giant, his entire body enveloped in golden colored armor.


    Even Lord Zhenjin’s head was covered in scorpion shell, only revealing his nostrils and the slits in his eyes!


    Lord Zhenjin threw a punch, striking right at the nose of the nearest Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.


    The Monkey-tailed Brown Bear howled in pain, immediately lying down on the ground, covering its nose.


    Lord Zhenjin leaped sideways, dodging the attack that followed, and retaliated with a punch.


    Bang, bang, bang…


    He did not dodge or evade, exchanging blows with the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, his presence becoming even more fierce.


    The Monkey-tailed Brown Bears were already in poor condition, and now, their palms and claws were not even red; hitting the scorpion shell just made Lord Zhenjin’s body shake slightly—it was neither painful nor itchy.


    But Lord Zhenjin knew well the physiological weaknesses of the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.


    He couldn’t help it; he could transform into a complete Monkey-tailed Brown Bear and had secretly done so many times.


    Years of hard training were now bearing fruit.


    Using his Iron Fists, Lord Zhenjin pummeled the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, who had just been overbearing, forcing them to the ground!


    Lord Zhenjin widened his stance and sprinted toward the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf saw the Golden Armor Giant rolling toward it, its entire wolf face twisted, as if to say—what in the world is that?!


    After snapping back to reality, its first thought was—run.


    Retreat first, save myself; the opponent is too strange, having become so strong, so terrifying!


    I’m just a lone wolf; how could I possibly be an opponent for this kind of freak?


    It’s better to regroup with the Demon Beast Army in the future and gang up on him—that’s the proper strategy in warfare.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf initially was lying on the ground, now it stood straight, turned, and ran.


    Lord Zhenjin had already anticipated the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s escape; he suddenly stomped the ground, giving up running and pouncing toward the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.


    Perhaps because of the injury in its hind legs, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s movement had slowed slightly.


    Or perhaps because of Lord Zhenjin’s sudden mutation, it caught the Blue Dog Fox Wolf completely off guard.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf had just turned to run, when suddenly, it froze, feeling its tail gripped firmly by a large hand.


    In the next moment, an immense force, impossible to resist, came from the tail.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf displayed a look of terror, its claws digging into the ground.


    But the force from behind was so immense that the Blue Dog Fox Wolf left four long claw marks on the ground, and its whole body was inevitably yanked backward.


    “Where do you think you’re running off to!” Lord Zhenjin bellowed with a commanding voice.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf screamed wildly, and the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears received orders to immediately come to its rescue.


    Lord Zhenjin swung his arm, using the Blue Dog Fox Wolf in hand as a weapon.


    In the next moment, the head of Blue Dog Fox Wolf traced an arc in mid-air, smashing hard into the chest of a Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.


    The momentum of the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear was instantly halted, and the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, due to the severe pain, had its howls abruptly cease, and a powerful dizziness assaulted its body and mind.


    Bang, bang, bang…


    Holding the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, Lord Zhenjin charged into the group of bears, striking hard with the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.


    The poor Blue Dog Fox Wolf soon spat out blood, its skull and bones cracking.


    The Monkey-tailed Brown Bears seemed to have received orders from the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, their attacks were hesitant and restrained.


    A violent collision quickly knocked the Blue Dog Fox Wolf unconscious.


    Yet Lord Zhenjin’s attack continued!


    The Monkey-tailed Brown Bears were sent scrambling in terror.


    Aoow—!


    Suddenly, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf let out a piercing scream, awakening from the intense pain.


    As the Blue Dog Fox Wolf came to, its pupils constricted, only to see the Golden Armor Giant holding its tail, while it lay on the ground not far away.


    Lord Zhenjin swung wildly, severing its tail.


    But no matter, in the next moment, Lord Zhenjin extended both hands, grabbing the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s hind legs.


    “Aoow!!!”


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf cried out, as if pleading, “Don’t! Let me go!”


    But the terrifying Golden Armor Giant dragged it back, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s eyes filled with fright and despair, frantically clawing at the ground and leaving twisted marks everywhere.


    All efforts were in vain.


    It was still flung by Lord Zhenjin, used as a weapon, swirling fiercely through the air.


    Zong Ge slowly halted his steps.


    This was all too unbelievable!


    He witnessed everything, the expressions of shock and anger, concern still partially visible on his face.


    But next, when he saw the Golden Armor Giant notice that the Blue Dog Fox Wolf showed no sign of life and tossed the corpse aside, starting to brawl with the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears using a pair of Iron Fists.


    The look of shock and urgency finally disappeared from his face, his eyelids twitching wildly.


    As he slowly descended the hillside to the edge of the battlefield, the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears around Lord Zhenjin all lay on the ground, beaten to death by him!


    Zong Ge instinctively halted, standing in place, staring blankly at Lord Zhenjin.


    As if asking himself, “What was I rushing here for?”


    Lord Zhenjin’s armor swiftly dissipated, turning into charcoal dust that scattered on the ground, his body returning to its original youthful form.


    Lord Zhenjin also seemed confused.


    He looked down at his hands, surprised and curious.


    On the hillside, a green head suddenly appeared.


    It was Sanda.


    On Sanda’s shoulder lay an unconscious Lan Zao.


    Sanda’s gaze swept the scene, stunned by what lay below.


    “What happened?” his eyes widened.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf was dead, its body severely deformed, its tail severed from its torso, a gruesome death.


    Several Monkey-tailed Brown Bears lay around the standing Lord Zhenjin, highlighting the ultimate victor.


    And Lord Zhenjin, clad in mere scraps of cloth, almost naked, looked at his body, seemingly puzzled but also pleased.


    At the edge of the battlefield, Zong Ge was covered in blood, his left arm dangling, dragging a Bone Hammer, his injuries severe!


    Then a faint sound, as Zong Ge dropped the wooden handle, letting the Bone Hammer fall to the ground.


    He exhaled a murky breath, then sat down abruptly.


    “Cough cough cough,” he coughed a fit, spitting out bloody froth, and finally a mouthful of fresh blood before he could breathe smoothly, regaining his strength, “No need for my rescue? You should have said so earlier!”


    Lord Zhenjin, hearing Zong Ge’s words of complaint, suddenly raised his head, as if awakened.


    He looked at Zong Ge, his gaze particularly focused on Zong Ge’s severely injured left arm. sea??h thё n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Feeling his gaze, Zong Ge smiled wryly, “It’s nothing, just a scratch.”


    His tone seemed casual, but his eyes were intensely fixed on Lord Zhenjin.


    After a moment, the Half-Beast spoke, his voice carrying a mix of weirdness, helplessness, and a hint of anger, “Hey, Lord Zhenjin, aren’t you… a Divine Favored Knight?”


    “Divine Favored Knight?” Lord Zhenjin raised his eyebrows, “Am I a Divine Favored Knight? I’m not quite sure myself.”


    Lord Zhenjin shook his head, clearly confused.


    “Hey, are you two alright?” Sanda’s call came from the hillside, “Can someone tell me what exactly happened here?”


    Lord Zhenjin and Zong Ge looked at each other, both remaining silent.


    The breeze blew in, and Lord Zhenjin suddenly realized his current state.


    “Quick, Sanda, strip down Lan Zao for my clothes,” Lord Zhenjin called out.


    Sanda’s eyes bulged.


    Did I rush here with my comrades, risking our lives, just to deliver clothes?


    Reluctantly, Sanda did as asked.


    Lord Zhenjin’s current state was indeed indecent.


    Speaking of which, stripping a man’s clothes was indeed quite unfamiliar.


    “I’m usually experienced with searching corpses, but this is really my first time doing this kind of thing,” the goblin muttered, trying to ease his own embarrassment.


    “You, what are you doing?!” Lan Zao woke up to find the goblin stripping him and immediately shouted.


    “I’m not dead yet. And if you’re going to loot my corpse, why completely strip me?”


    “Shut up, your master wants your clothes!”


    “Lord Zhenjin? You’re joking!!”


    “Don’t believe? Look down the hill.”


    “My, Master?!”


    Lord Zhenjin nodded slightly at Lan Zao, his expression returning to its usual calm.


    “Get away!” Lan Zao slapped away the goblin’s hands, “I can undress myself!”


    “Who’s helping you anyway!” Sanda snapped, frustrated, “Hey, why are you yanking my scarf?!”


    “Let me have something,” Lan Zao’s tone dropped.


    Sanda fumed, “My scarf is for my neck, where do you plan to put it, you jerk?”


    “Sanda!” Zong Ge finally spoke.
