Chapter 135 Xia Xinyan Definitely Likes Me!

Xia Xinyan stared at the chubby guy, taking a long time to mentally prepare herself before successfully convincing herself that she was just treating him, nothing embarrassing about it.

But it still left her feeling quite annoyed.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ling Mo’s injuries had mostly healed, and she didn’t plan to continue being sticky in front of the chubby guy, so she called back the flying steel pipes to their original place, released Ling Mo, and stood up.

Ling Mo slowly crawled up from the ground.

He hadn’t actually lost consciousness before; he had felt everything happening but had temporarily lost control of his body due to his injuries. This was thanks to the zombie race’s super self-protection ability, and of course, the fact that Xia Xinyan’s treatment had played a significant role in helping him regain his mobility so quickly.

Unfortunately, the chubby guy had arrived at the wrong time.

He cleared his throat, his tone still somewhat weak, “Xinyan’s Hunter has been killed by me; there should only be four Hunters left now.”

Honestly, that old Taoist was definitely much stronger than before, and even with his current brute strength, he couldn’t inflict much effective damage. In his opinion, if Xia Xinyan faced that Taoist, she simply wouldn’t stand a chance.

So he was reckless enough to risk his life, even if it meant hurting himself to kill that Taoist first.

If they encountered any unforeseen circumstances that separated him from Xia Xinyan, and she stumbled upon that Taoist alone, it would be incredibly dangerous, so he had to seize the opportunity to eliminate that potential threat.

If it hadn’t been for that old Taoist surrounding them with flames earlier, Ling Mo might not have managed to take him down. The flames were meant to exorcise ghosts but dealt significant damage to other beings as well, including the old Taoist. Therefore, once the flames enveloped them, it was like a life-or-death battle. As far as blood bars were concerned, Ling Mo probably had the longest one in this dungeon.

It was only when both of them were nearly burned to a crisp that Ling Mo unleashed his full power and forcibly tore the old Taoist’s head off.

It was just unfortunate that he couldn’t find any loot on him.

The chubby guy was somewhat astonished, “What the hell? You killed one so quickly? Impressive!”

He had previously encountered a skeleton, and it was because of that experience he knew just how powerful these Hunters really were.

After all, they had almost pinned him down and pummeled him.

So he had run off, planning to find backup before coming back to confront them.

And then he showed up, only to be a light bulb.

But before Ling Mo could say anything else, the chubby guy finally noticed his current appearance and was instantly shocked, “What the hell happened to you? You’re so dark!”

The flashlight’s illumination was limited, and he had only recognized the two at a glance; coupled with the writhing steel pipes, the chubby guy didn’t dare take a closer look and had just yelled at them to stop. Now, upon closer inspection, he found Ling Mo… was really dark.

If it weren’t for the same voice, he might not have recognized him at all.

Ling Mo said, “…Just think of it as night camouflage.”

He wiped his face and felt his body’s current state; he was nearly scorched on the outside from the previous flames, but under Xia Xinyan’s treatment, he had mostly recovered. However, he was definitely not going to get any lighter.

He suddenly felt curious about how Xia Xinyan could kiss him like this.

Willing to make such a sacrifice for him…

She definitely liked him, right?

He couldn’t help but smile.

Too bad his dark face made it impossible for anyone to see his expression.

Xia Xinyan looked around and asked, “Have you seen anyone else?”

“No,” the chubby guy shook his head, “But I did see two Hunters, one undead and one… goblin. I didn’t dare make too much noise; those Hunters seem to not target individuals anymore; they just attack anyone they see.”

Xia Xinyan nodded thoughtfully.

This indicated that the dungeon’s difficulty had increased again…

“Hey, how about we find a way to take down that undead now?” The chubby guy sized them up and asked, “I think the three of us are pretty strong. How about we quietly make some big gains right now?”

Xia Xinyan’s gaze fell behind him, and she smiled slightly, “You must be after that bone, right?”

Even the avatars would drop loot; there was no reason the main body wouldn’t drop anything.

The chubby guy nodded, “Since that’s the case, I won’t pretend to be a good person either. I’m not making you work for free; if we kill that guy and there’s any loot, I’ll give it all to you. If there isn’t… after leaving the dungeon, I can share some game points with you.”

“Two thousand each,” Xia Xinyan quoted a price directly.

The chubby guy’s facial muscles twitched, “That’s way too ruthless… buying a bone shouldn’t even cost four thousand, right?”

“Maybe not,” Xia Xinyan slowly raised her right hand, and at the same time, all the steel pipes in the air floated up, “But… saving your life one more time would be worth it.”

Noticing the steel pipes in the air, the chubby guy froze, as if he had thought of something. He instinctively turned to look and saw two red lights almost right in front of him.

One was an undead creature, and the other was… a Bounty Hunter—his Hunter.

As the flashlight beam landed on the Bounty Hunter, the Hunter raised the long sword in his hand.

The chubby guy yelled, “What the hell—!! Brothers, save yourselves!!”

Almost simultaneously, all the steel pipes fell, creating a barrier between the chubby guy and the Bounty Hunter. The sword of the Bounty Hunter crashed into the steel pipes, creating a burst of golden light, but surprisingly, it couldn’t break a single one!

The remaining steel pipes all shot towards the Bounty Hunter, who quickly reacted by drawing his shield from his waist to block, with all the steel pipes infused with ghostly power failing to even pierce that wooden shield.

The initial clash looked like a bunch of rookies fighting each other.

The chubby guy scrambled and rolled over to Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo, hurriedly pulling out a… chainsaw that was even bigger than his pants, “Damn, you scared me! Why didn’t you give us a heads up? This isn’t good for the heart, seriously.”

Ling Mo silently pulled Xia Xinyan a few steps away from him, “Keep that thing away from me, I’m afraid it’ll blow up.”

The chubby guy said, “…I haven’t even turned it on yet, alright!”

Xia Xinyan thought for a moment, controlled all the surrounding steel pipes again, and said seriously, “Let’s settle this here… Zhang Daqi, you handle the undead, and I’ll try to hold him down while you figure out how to blast him with the chainsaw.”

“…No, I’m using a chainsaw, not a bomb.”

“Aren’t they the same?”

“……”

The chubby guy didn’t want to continue arguing about that: “So how do we deal with the Bounty Hunter?”

Ling Mo pulled out the sword that had dropped from the previous avatar from his space watch and took a step towards the Bounty Hunter, “I’ll take care of him.”
