149 Sabertooth Tiger

Wen Tao, still sweating from fright, gritted his teeth, dropped flat to the ground, and raised his rifle, aiming it at Xu Feng.

The bewitching woman drew two daggers from either side of her slender waist. With a light leap, she appeared above Mutant Leopard No. 1 in the blink of an eye. “Prepare to die!”

No one knew where they found the courage. Though they knew they might all die, they still charged forward without hesitation.

“Reporting, Chief!” At that moment, behind Yin Miaomiao—

He had meant to say something about Tang Wei next, but found her pouting at him, her face full of wounded reproach.

Ever since Gong Xue parted ways with my family, she had remained silent. Seeing her brows knitted tight, I finally broke the silence.

The greatest wonder of the Sea Kingdom was not its steel city, but the reactor that powered it. What an immense output it must have taken to keep the kingdom running for so long—and ever since it had been switched on, it had never stopped.

She was clearly puzzled, though, by how spotless the beach was. There were hardly any shells to be seen.

Seeing the bitter smile on Lin Zhao’s face, Ke Ran realized he might have said something he shouldn’t.

“Have you grown so decadent and corrupt that, as a Navy lieutenant commander, you’ve even let your ability to kill go to waste?” Yarlin watched Satoni’s street-brawler moves without dodging. His right leg hardened into an iron whip, and with a sharp crack, it lashed across his opponent’s jaw.

Xiaerba looked toward Ding Ji, a trace of frenzied hatred in his eyes, but in the end he could only nod.

The second point: true mastery of spoken dialogue takes years of practice and honing to achieve.

The village already had a security checkpoint and auxiliary police, but Lin Mu got the impression they didn’t much care for him. Even when he offered them cigarettes, they ignored him.

Without beating around the bush, Li Jiao hooked a finger beneath Lin Zhao’s chin and pressed a soft kiss to his lips.

At that moment, he was beside himself with excitement. They had been apart for only a short while, yet it felt as though they had been separated for years.

Chen Bao and the other four hardly knew what to think. They stared awkwardly at Old Gu, who had been teasing them moments earlier. They had never expected that, at this very “life-or-death” moment, the old man would be the first to step forward and plead on their behalf, hoping they might be given a “way out.”

He lowered his head and nearly fainted from fright. A cavernous maw gaped below him, its fangs scarlet and razor-sharp. Something fell into it, and the jaws crushed it to nothing—not even dust remained.

“Doctor, what should we do next?” Staying at Changliu Space Station was clearly out of the question. After the enemy had made such a huge commotion, hiding in the Chaos Zone was impossible too.

Ye Zhixing had no idea she had given herself away. Muttering, “How can my alcohol tolerance be this poor?” she wiped her fingers.

That was right. Earlier, in order to break through to the third turn of the Golden Core realm, he had used up all five thousand Wind Spirit Stones he had on hand. He had no idea how long this trip would last, or whether he might have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm along the way. It was best to stock up on some Wind Spirit Stones.

It was simply inconceivable. Chen Bao could scarcely believe the conclusion. Use the fantastically complex microscopic universe within the body in place of the brain? Let the stars’ formation perform the thinking, as though they were connections between brain cells?!

It was not for any other reason. When a Profound Radiance cultivator reached the state of “仙骨齐鸣、内蕴霞光,” prolonged service guarding the Demon Abyss could leave them vulnerable to a silent invasion by corruption, tainting their rosy radiance and causing their cultivation to regress. If they merely fought Yin Demons amid a demon tide, a check afterward would be enough to ensure they had suffered no harm.

Ye Zhixing had bought a great many herbs earlier and left them in a VIP locker. Yet somehow, there was still an herb in her bag that had reacted with the potion—and it was the only one she had left.

Putting himself in Feng Shaotang’s shoes, he could see why such a precaution was necessary. Chen Bao gathered his thoughts and made a note of Yang Jing’s idea.
