Ree Shil handed it over.
And the rest of the villagers also crowded around.
"This looks like... mosquito wings?"
"No, that can’t be right. Considering the pattern on the wings, has there ever been a mosquito this big?"
"Exactly, the largest one in my house only has cells a tenth of this size..."
"..." xN
"Hiss!" xN
After a brief silence, shock was written all over everyone’s faces.
"Big Brother, where did you get this thing from?"
Fishy imdiately changed how he addressed Ree Shil.
"I tore it off a mosquito after putting in a lot of effort."
"And that mosquito?"
"I killed it."
"!!" xN
As the saying goes, there is no proof without evidence, but even holding the proof in their hands, they dared not believe it.
After all, everyone knew on Plum Pile Lake, giant mosquitoes were invincible!
Killed it?
"Big Brother, where did it die? Can you take us to see?"
Faced with Fishy’s question, Ree Shil wanted to say he didn’t rember the way back at all, but luckily the octopus-headed person helped him out.
"No need, if what Big Brother says is true, then we can just send the mosquito swarm to find it."
So the crowd summoned the mosquito swarm again, ready to start a carpet search.
It only took 5 minutes to actually find the location of the giant mosquito’s remains.
When they saw the giant mosquito’s mutilated wings, they were all thoroughly convinced.
If it weren’t for the difficulty of moving on the earthen mounds, they would have knelt before Ree Shil on the spot!
Finally! The overlord that terrorized the region had been eliminated by soone else!
"Guys! Let’s carry this thing back so everyone can see!"
Fishy was visibly excited.
"Hey, hey, if you guys are going to sell it, rember to cut in on the profit," Ree Shil imdiately added.
"Master, don’t worry! We’ll carry it out for you for free!"
"Never mind carrying it, the whole village will certainly be grateful to you!"
"You don’t need the whole village. I, Mr. Octopus, would give you all of my wealth! Thank you for avenging !"
"Alright, enough with the tears. You’re bankrupt and in debt, where’s this wealth coming from?"
"Then I, Mr. Octopus, will marry my sister off to you!"
"..."
Upon hearing this last remark, Ree Shil gave the octopus-headed person a thorough once-over.
It was a genuine octopus head, and co to think of it, he did bear so resemblance to the bald Demonic Monk.
After graciously declining, Ree Shil was led away from Plum Pile Lake by the villagers.
Following the steps of these indigenous people, Ree Shil realized how simple it was to leave the lake.
It was just a matter of walking in circles and taking a few unnecessary detours to get out.
The whole journey took just over ten minutes.
Continue walking for another ten minutes, and a village of substantial size appeared in their field of vision.
Ree Shil, who had sharp eyesight, could see from a distance a young and beautiful lady waiting eagerly at the village entrance.
"Brother!"
As they drew closer, to his surprise, the girl was actually waiting for them.
"Sister! I’m back!"
The octopus-headed man waved and called out.
Ree Shil: "???"
Who would have thought that this girl, who looked like a pure human, was actually the sister of the octopus head?
Upon closer inspection, he noticed several octopus tentacles growing out of her back.
It seed the genetics of this world weren’t sothing he could understand.
"Brother, what is this thing you guys brought back?!"
Upon seeing the giant mosquito, the octopus sister was imdiately shocked.
"Hehe, you’ve never seen it before..."
"Brother, never mind that for now. There’s a military officer in the village!
He says the Gun Beasts are pressing in, and they’re conscripting soldiers!"
But before the octopus-head could finish, his sister interrupted him.
"What! Conscription?!"
Upon hearing these words, the octopus head turned red and started gaggling, "That’s great! Gun Beasts! My chance for revenge has co!"
Without further ado, he rushed into the village.
"He..."
Watching the receding figure, Ree Shil couldn’t help but comnt, "Does he have that many grudges to avenge?"
"Sigh, he has a rather tragic background," Fishy sighed, offering no further explanation.
But Ree Shil did catch a keyword: Gun Beasts.
During the finals, Grace Spring had pulled out a Gun Beast card.
It was a type that counters the Kung Fu card set well.
If I rember correctly, it was ntioned that the Lan-Lan tropolis Association Headquarters provided the Grace Spring Historical Revision Instance, and that’s where this guy drew from.
The place I find myself in now is clearly not any sort of historical to.
However, these details don’t concern .
Because at this ti, the system mission panel finally popped up.
[Mission First Stage: Enlist in the conscription and beco a Kung Fu Beast Soldier.]
Since it’s a mission, it must be undertaken, no doubt.
I greeted Fishy and the others, then followed the direction of the Octopus Head to go take a look.
Arriving at the center of the hamlet, I saw a throng of people gathering like a swarm.
If the conscription officer hadn’t been a Giraffe Head person, even I would have had a hard ti seeing the other party.
One could tell, the villagers were all very enthusiastic.
"Lord Long Deer, I’ve been waiting to fight the Gun Beasts for a full forty years; I can’t miss out again this ti!"
"Old man, you’re over seventy, take it easy."
"Lord Long Deer, choose , I didn’t train these iron ring arms for nothing!"
"I also want to enlist, to serve my motherland!"
"They say you can hold office after retiring from the military, is that true?"
"Those damn Gun Beasts, they never give up!"
One could hear that everyone had their reasons, all in all, everyone was eager.
"Alright, alright! Stand ready, one by one!"
The voice of Lord Long Deer, ntioned by the crowd, was loud and carried a sense of authority even without anger.
"Everyone line up, one by one! If you’re over thirty, don’t bother coming, those who should be supporting their family should do that, and those who should be retired should do that!"
Under his coordination, villagers who t the criteria lined up orderly in a long queue.
Ree Shil stood at the end of the line but saw the Octopus Head leaving in a huff.
"What’s the matter with you?"
He caught the other party by the arm.
Just now you were shouting about revenge.
"I’m nearly forty..."
The Octopus Head said bitterly.
"Huh? Doesn’t look like it."
"Didn’t you see I’m nearly bald?"
"This..."
After sending off the Octopus Head, Ree Shil noticed that the line was moving quite fast.
The selection conditions at the front seed to be quite strict; many people were eliminated after a brief encounter inside the tent, hence the line was quick.
When it was my turn to enter the tent, I saw a stone lock on the ground.
"Lift it off the ground by any ans, and you pass."
A duck-headed soldier holding a long spear gave him a cold glance.
No wonder those before were eliminated so quickly.
Ree Shil assessed the stone lock, which must have weighed at least seven or eight hundred pounds.
Even though these Kung Fu Beast races are physically stronger than humans, it’s not sothing everyone can do.
Of course, for him, it was manageable.
I believed I could lift it without expending all my strength.
So, he walked up and gripped the handles of the stone lock.
Seeing his fra, which looked slight compared to the Kung Fu Beast races, the duck-headed soldier’s eyes flashed with derision.
This scrawny guy wants to go to the battlefield to fight Gun Beasts?
"Wait a mont."
Just then, Lord Long Deer suddenly spoke up.
Due to his long neck, he could only sit outside the tent and extend his head in.
"The order from above is clear, the Sheep Tribe is exempt from testing and conscripted directly."
At that mont, Lord Long Deer looked at Ree Shil closely.
And just like that, he smoothly beca a Kung Fu Beast Soldier.
[Ding Dong!]
[Mission complete, reward: 3 card draw chances.]
[Mission Second Stage: Follow the team to the Frontier Great Wall.]
The new mission popped up, hardly taking any effort at all.
...
At the sa mont.
General Zebra stood on the wall with a grave expression, looking out into the distance.
The army of Gun Beasts was approaching, now within eyesight.
And the previously reported army of two hundred thousand was just the vanguard unit.
With each successive urgent report from behind, the number of enemy forces continued to increase.
Now, before the siege had even begun, it was clear they hadn’t finished assembling.
"To think that the Gun Beasts have such a force... Could it be that this ti, our tribe is dood?"
In his eyes, concern was hard to hide.
