The next morning dawned.
It was Gao Xin’s seventh day stepping into the Champagne territory, near the garbage mountain, where up to fifty Elephant Level had already gathered.
Of course, most were re Juvenile Elephants; Sub-elephants were very rare.
They ca eagerly, but after learning about Gao Xin’s prowess, none dared to enter the garbage mountain to do battle.
Gao Xin had slept through the night, finally regaining so strength.
It seed, however, that he had stayed up too many nights before, as he was still very groggy upon waking.
"I should have slept earlier. The ordinary Elephant Levels don’t dare co in here, they can only watch from the periter."
"Violet’s here again, eh? And there are others."
Stretching lazily, he had already sensed the insects’ disturbance.
Violet arrived as expected, "Tai Sui, if you don’t hand over the Demon Blade today, be careful, you might lose your life."
Listening to his serious tone, Gao Xin, with three heads and six arms, stood on a tal platform, fully prepared for battle.
"Oh? Are you planning to fight to the death today?"
Violet shook his head slightly, saying earnestly, "The latest news, Fujihara Tomohiro along with nine Elephant Levels, have already arrived in person."
"With you stalling here with , you’re just waiting for death. Wan Kai can’t protect you."
"How about you give the Demon Blade? I’ll let you leave, and ensure no one discovers it."
Gao Xin’s expression was strange, "No one can discover? Then who’s that following you?"
"Huh?"
Violet’s expression grew stern as he followed Gao Xin’s gaze, but detected nothing.
"Who are you talking about?"
Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, "So you didn’t know..."
As he spoke, he thrust his gun, and the huge Crimson Gun Shadow blasted at a spot.
But there was no one behind the exploded wall.
Gao Xin decisively swung his gun again, "Still want to hide? Co out!"
Under his continual targeting, the person realized they had been seen through and imdiately showed themselves.
A man in suit and leather shoes landed in the middle of the scene.
"Who is this?" Violet was puzzled.
Seeing his confusion, Gao Xin realized this person was definitely not from the Three Kingdoms and Nine Cities.
"Faber, a courier ntor." The man said, and even gave Gao Xin a slight bow.
"Go ahead and fight, don’t mind , my mission is already complete."
Gao Xin scoffed, "What did you do?"
Faber said with a troubled frown, "Nothing much, just wanted to get you to a certain place, but I didn’t expect your strength to be much higher than anticipated, and it no longer matches the deposit."
"This deal... is off."
Gao Xin understood, this was probably a rcenary organization, also wanting to claim his bounty.
Yet, his combat achievents were astonishing, and they significantly mismatched the bounty on him.
"Is that so? Then you should say the mission is suspended, not complete."
Faber shrugged, "My current mission is just to confirm your location, my employer will personally co to collect the item."
"Who? Who is your employer?" Gao Xin inquired.
However, Faber only responded, "She’ll be here soon, no need to hurry."
"Heh, playing mysterious." Gao Xin lunged with his spear.
Faber’s mouth turned down as he hastily dodged.
Yet Gao Xin’s Demon Blade, the Shadow of Extinction, the Sea-splitting Spear, also struck out in unison.
Faber’s pupils contracted, his legs tearing through his suit as if mimicking a praying mantis’s bizarre form, and with an instant propulsion, he flashed away from all of Gao Xin’s attacks.
Afterwards, a layer of silk-like material seeped onto his arms, enveloping them and forming a cocoon-like appearance.
Then with a tear, the cocoon shattered and his arms had transford into shapes resembling mantis razors, embedding into the do as he hung upside down, staring at Gao Xin.
"Is that necessary? To ensure the package’s safety, as long as you don’t leave here, I’d actually protect you."
Gao Xin retracted his weapons, noting that this guy was extrely fast.
His body structure was unlike normal people’s, not an exoskeleton, but it had genuinely grown that way.
That cocoon ability could directly change the body’s structure.
Not just a re act, but a full reorganization of all tissues and organs.
"[Complete tamorphosis], this module... I see, you’re from the Pigeon Group." Violet finally understood with a start, recognizing the man’s origin.
Faber’s pupils had changed, looking like grainy beads, resembling insect eyes.
He smiled, "Violet, how about becoming a VIP?"
Violet made a face, "Not interested."
"Don’t interfere with getting back the Demon Blade."
Faber laughed, "Wait until my employer takes away Tai Sui, then you can try to take back the Demon Blade, surely she won’t covet the tyrant’s Demon Blade."
Violet frowned; he wanted to retrieve the Demon Blade but also didn’t want a legend like Gao Xin to die here.
He had originally planned to persuade Gao Xin to give him the Demon Blade and then secretly let him go. After all, no one else was around; if he just delayed a bit, with Wan Kai’s protection, Tai Sui would surely be able to sneak away quietly.
But unexpectedly, soone from the Pigeon Group was watching in the dark.
"Tai Sui, the Pigeon Group has eyes and ears all over the island, be careful of insects, rats, birds, and the like." Violet warned him.
Gao Xin’s brow twitched, insects?
He had indeed found many insects in the garbage mountain, which seed to be just ordinary insects. Wasn’t it normal to have lots of bugs in such a dirty and ssy place like the garbage mountain?
Moreover, with the complex terrain of the garbage mountain and many Radiation individuals raising bugs, rats, and the like for leading the way and scouting, it wasn’t just his place doing it.
At this mont, upon hearing the warning, he imdiately ordered his swarm to hunt down those insects.
So were caught instantly, all raised by residents of the garbage mountain.
Quite soon, he found a swarm that he just couldn’t catch.
Very cunning and nimble, with extre speed, and when cornered, they could even fight back against his own insects.
"What! They seed just like regular insects, but they’re so powerful, I completely missed it before..."
