This Curse Is Just Awesome

Boom!

As the ground shook violently, they scattered away.

Chen Yu reacted the fastest.

Zhang Gang, Zhang Tie, Bahuang Yao, Zhang Yanyan…

As for Duan Ye, he was held tightly in Chen Yu’s arms.

Instead of watching the rapidly retreating scene, Duan Ye fixed his eyes on Chen Yu while his quivering lips were full of profound meaning. “…Why did you save me first?”

“What do you think?” Chen Yu flung Duan Ye backward. “You’re the slowest. I don’t give a damn about you.”

Clang!

Pulling out his longsword, Chen Yu somersaulted in the air. Just as he adjusted his center of gravity, he saw a large exotic beast that looked like an earthworm appear out of thin air from where everyone had been standing.

“Wu wu wu –”

The exotic beast let out a sharp and ear-piercing cry. It wriggled its body like a sandworm, opening its circular mouthparts that were stacked on top of each other and filled with sharp teeth. It aimed at Bahuang Yao and spat out a jet-black venom that looked like an arrow.

“Yao! Run!” Chen Yu shouted.

Bahuang Yao reacted quickly. With a strength of Level 1.3, she turned left and right, and actually split into two in an instant!

“Martial Art — Bahuang Secret Art — Imaging!”

Pata.

The venom landed on the empty space where Bahuang Yao had ‘split’ apart, burning a large hole in the rock in an instant.

“This move is awesome!”

Duan Ye’s eyes gleamed while he was still flying in the air. Almost out of instinct, all sorts of racing jargon appeared in his mind. “If she has one, doesn’t she have a harem? I wonder if she has a cousin or something…”

“Stand back, this is a Level 3 exotic beast,” Zhang Tie shouted loudly. Closely after that, he urged his Qi to rush forward.

“Stop.”

Zhang Gang immediately appeared in front of him and blocked him. “What are you doing?”

“What are you doing?”

“You’re a security officer, not a nanny,” Zhang Gang said expressionlessly, “If they can’t even deal with a Level 3 exotic beast, how dare you accept an A-Class mission? F*ck all of you, get out of here as soon as possible. I won’t risk my life with you idiots.”

“…” Zhang Tie remained silent.

“I don’t need you.” Chen Yu sneered and said, “If I lead my team to pick up an A-Class, I will have my own confidence. Brother Tie, you don’t need to do it. It’s just a small bug. I can do it alone.”

After saying that, he looked around and said to Duan Ye, Bahuang Yao, and the others, “You don’t need to do it either. Move aside.”

“Brother Yu…” Bahuang Yao combined into one and hesitated, “That… that’s a Level 3 exotic beast.”

“Cut the crap, move aside.” Chen Yu held his longsword tightly as he raised it high.

“Brother Yu, you can’t pretend too much.” Duan Ye shouted, “It depends on the size.”

“Chen Yu, what are you doing?” Zhang Tie frowned.

“…Hu.”

Chen Yu took a deep breath as he fixed his eyes on the rolling sandworms. After blocking all the disturbances in the surroundings, he stomped heavily!

Pa!

Dust rose up, and his body was like a stream of light. He actually charged straight at the exotic beast.

“Wu hou!”

The exotic beast let out a long roar. Through the sound waves, it sensed Chen Yu’s charging speed. It opened its mouth and wiggled its ferocious teeth, launching a counter-charge at Chen Yu.

“Be careful!” Zhang Yanyan covered her mouth in horror.

Bang!

A Level 1.7 force suddenly erupted!

With the support of the force, Chen Yu’s charging speed suddenly doubled, and his entire person disappeared in an instant!

Shua…

A light that was hard to be seen with the naked eye flashed past.

One second later.

Chen Yu revealed himself, retracted his force, and landed lightly on the ground. He slowly inserted his longsword back into the ground, not looking at the exotic beast that was frozen on the spot behind him.

Hiss —

Hiss hiss —

Blood gradually spurted out of the body of the exotic beast.

From one, it turned into two. Finally, like a broken water pipe, it made a 360-degree circle.

Dong…

Closely after that, the exotic beast was split into two parts and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Red blood gushed out in tons, dyeing a large area red.

“This…” Zhang Gang was shocked.

Even Zhang Tie, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao couldn’t believe it.

As for Zhang Yanyan, she was even more dumbfounded.

A Level 1 Martial Artist killed a Level 3 exotic beast with one sword…

“How… How could this be?” Zhang Gang’s pupils kept widening due to his emotional fluctuation, “What kind of battle skill is that?!”

Chen Yu didn’t explain; instead, he just stood there with an indifferent expression and didn’t look back. “Excuse me, do we have the ability to accept an A-Rank mission?”

Clap… Clap clap clap…

In the distance, Duan Ye came back to his senses and clapped his hands in a daze. “It’s really like a little heifer giving birth to Duan Ye…”

Zhang Yanyan subconsciously turned her head. “Ah?”

“…This act is too cool.”

Zhang Yanyan: “…”

Perhaps he felt that he had indeed gone a little overboard with his ‘middle’. Chen Yu’s muscles relaxed and he walked towards Zhang Gang. “Do you feel relieved? Do you have the ability to support you? There are still some questions.”

“…” Zhang Gang was silent.

“If not, then gather together and continue to go to Wangdu City.”

Zhang Gang took a deep look at Chen Yu and did not say anything. He turned around and led the way.

Chen Yu followed calmly.

The rest of the people looked at each other for a long time before they also sped up to catch up.

“F*ck Brother Yu, you are too awesome. How did you do it?” Duan Ye moved to Chen Yu’s side and lowered his voice excitedly.

“Basic combat.” Chen Yu felt great in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

His current strength level had already reached 1.7. Adding on his own physique, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to reach the level of a peak Level 2 Martial Artist when he unleashed his full strength.

Adding on the invincible BB Sword, finding the right time and the right vital points, it wasn’t impossible for him to instantly kill a Level 3 Martial Artist in one move.

If he were to use the martial technique ‘Enlightenment’…

Excluding the uncertainty caused by the lowering of his IQ, it was enough for him to kill a normal Level 3.

“Brother Yu, you…” Bahuang Yao also approached him hesitantly. “How did your strength level increase so quickly? It was still 1.5 back in Tang City, right?”

“Before I prepared to accept the mission, I ate a bunch of Qi Boosting Pills for a few days in a row,” Chen Yu said casually.

“I’ve been eating too.” The girl lowered her head, “Since the beginning of the school, I’ve only gained 0.1.”

Duan Ye raised his hand, “I’ve not even reached 0.1. When I came back from the special training, I was at level 1.7. Now, I’m still at level 1.7. How much did you eat?”

“Shh.”

At this moment, Zhang Tie turned around and lowered his voice. “There’s a forest in front of us. There must be a herd of exotic beasts. Be careful, don’t talk.”

Zhang Gang continued, “Take back your Qi and don’t let it shine.”

Everyone immediately took back their Qi.

All of a sudden, except for Chen Yu, everyone else slowed down.

However, in order to match the speed of his teammates, Chen Yu could only slow down.

“Zhang Tie, go to the back and watch. I’ll be in the front,” Zhang Gang commanded.

“Okay.” Zhang Tie didn’t say anything else as he nodded and retreated to the back of the team.

“You’re a Qi martial arts major in your class, right?” Zhang Gang looked at Duan Ye.

“Yes.”

“As a burden, you should be aware of it. Stand in the middle.”

Duan Ye: “…”

After lining up, the team entered the forest and slowly moved forward.

“There might be hidden sentries in the forest. If anyone finds anything, they can step on the grass three times.”

After saying that, Duan Ye immediately stepped on the grass three times.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

Zhang Gang turned around. “What did you see?”

“I didn’t see anything. I’m just seeing if it works.”

Zhang Gang’s face instantly turned green.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his voice. “Kid, people who hold grudges won’t have a good ending.”

Duan Ye said, “I’ll definitely do it next time.”

…

For the rest of the time, no one said a word. They all spent their time on the road.

The sky was extremely dark.

There wasn’t a single speck of starlight in the forest, and they couldn’t even see their own fingers.

Chen Yu and the others could only grope their way forward.

Fortunately, the sound of exotic beasts was very loud. With their hearing, they could barely avoid them one by one.

In terms of smell, it was exceptionally easy to deal with.

They just needed to find some exotic beast feces and rub it on their bodies…

Ten minutes.

Half an hour.

One hour…

When it was 9 pm on their phones, they finally passed through the forest.

In front of them was a vast and flat wilderness.

They could faintly see broken eaves and wall at the end of the wilderness.

“That’s the Capital City.” Zhang Gang pointed ahead and raised his voice, “The bandits’ nest is in a collapsed building complex in the north city.”

“They really set their nest in the city.” Chen Yu smacked his lips, “How dare they ignore the exotic beasts nearby?”

“They’re definitely not common robbers.” Zhang Tie, who was at the end of the team, looked solemn. “I suspect that they might be the bases of some forces.”

“Are we going or not?” Zhang Gang said coldly, “Otherwise, we should give up.”

“They’re already here.” Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes slightly. After throwing a glance at Chen Yu, he said, “If they’re really two Level 4 fighters, you, me, and Chen Yu, I think we can really take them down easily. After all, a human life is right in front of us. How could we not save them?”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Zhang Gang turned around and locked eyes with Zhang Tie for a long time. “Although you’re an idiot, you’ve always been advocating safety. How come you’ve changed after so many years?”

“People change.” Zhang Tie threw a glance at Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao, “Sometimes, it only takes half a month.”

“…If you insist on going…” Zhang Gang turned around and walked towards the ruins in the darkness. “Then, let’s go.”

“Huh?”

Duan Ye, who was standing behind Zhang Gang, was stunned. He touched his face and looked up. “Did the rain drop?”
