Chapter 313: 247: Can all heroes crush me?
After more than half a month of enhancement, his strength had increased more than tenfold!
Several types of Alien Beast darkness food had amplified and fully strengthened his abilities.
In particular, his various resistances had increased several times over.
Even his basic four-dimensional attributes had seen some improvement.
The same was true for the dozen or so subordinates he brought with him.
In his opinion, the comprehensive strength of these soldiers he had trained was not inferior to that of ordinary six-star troops.
There were only three six-star ranks here, at most ten seconds, and they all could be controlled!
By then, wasn’t any intel he wanted to know at his mercy for questioning?
The imagination was pleasant, but the reality was that as soon as he charged in, he was met with the sharp blade light of the leading Griffon Knight.
“Pfft!”
With a slash of the sword, if he hadn’t reacted quickly, his head would have been cut off.
Even so, a large hole was cut into his left chest by the blade light, and bright fresh blood flowed out continuously.
“Humans?”
The leading Griffon Knight was also surprised, looking at the attacking dark figures. He didn’t expect the attackers to be a dozen humans.
Although these humans had a bulky physique and dark skin, they were like giant wild pigs, upright and walking.
But without a doubt, they were humans.
Zhuang Shuai’s mind spun quickly, and he realized that his other men were also engaging the other two Griffon Knights.
He immediately muttered, “Capture them first, then talk!”
He then lunged forward again. The leading Griffon Knight put away his long knife, twisted his body, and pounced back.
“Bang!”
“Ouch!”
Both men threw out a punch. Zhuang Shuai’s punch, as big as a sandbag, hit the Griffon Knight, but the knight only wobbled slightly.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Shuai was sent flying with one punch from the Griffon Knight.
“Bang! Bang! Bang… ”
Continuing forward, the two men immediately swung their fists, continuously attacking each other, with a dull collision sound echoing nonstop.
What shocked Zhuang Shuai was that he was no match for the Griffon Knight in front of him!
Even two of his subordinates who joined in the attack couldn’t suppress him.
His strength was about the same as Zhuang Shuai’s, but he was much faster.
Under the siege of three people, he could still cope easily and even launch counterattacks!
The other two Griffon Knights were also like this, directly overpowering several of his men, even when they joined forces.
“Roar~!”
“Damn it…!”
His face changed dramatically. Looking up, sure enough, the other Griffon Knights that had been hovering in mid-air were now swooping down towards the ground.
“Retreat!”
Zhuang Shuai fought back the urge to exchange another punch and shouted, “Quick, retreat! Meet at the old place…!”
The dozen soldiers scattered in a hurry, running messily in all directions.
But their speed could not compare to the Griffon Knights, who soon caught up.
Some tried to resist, but they were easily knocked down by the Griffon Knights.
Zhuang Shuai had no time to worry about the others and turned to run, but he was easily caught up by the leading Griffon Knight.
The knight leaped and caught up with Zhuang Shuai in just a few steps. The two continued to fight, but Zhuang Shuai was no match.
“Damn… Hero! You are the hero!”
Zhuang Shuai roared, but before he knew it, he had been hit in the waist and was sent flying.
Just as he got up, a long spear was pointed at his throat.
He quickly raised his hands and said with a forced smile on his face, “Brother, it’s a misunderstanding, all of this is a misunderstanding!”
“You were looking for Zhuang Shuai, right? I am, I am…”
“You are Zhuang Shuai?”
The Griffon Knight was still a bit skeptical and asked doubtfully after looking him up and down, “Our lord mentioned Zhuang Shuai is a fat man, but he didn’t mention about him being so dark… ”
“Hehehe…” Zhuang Shuai said awkwardly, “Isn’t it because I’ve been eating too much?”
The Griffon Knight lifted his long spear again and coldly asked, “What evidence can you provide that you are Zhuang Shuai?”
“Evidence…” Zhuang Shuai blinked and said, “What kind of proof do you want?”
“Your profession?”
“Dark Cuisine Chef!”
“Your weight?”
“Three hundred and sixty-five kilograms!”
“Pardon?”
“No, no, no… that’s not right! Before I entered, I was only one hundred and seventy-two kilograms!”
“What’s the name of your academy?”
“Special Academy!”
“What’s your relation with the loser?”
“Loser?” Zhuang Shuai blinked and said, “It seems… he’s my classmate?”
The Griffon Knight put away his gun and reached out for Zhuang Shuai, “Good, you indeed are the person our lord was talking about. Get up, let’s go to meet the lord together.”
Zhuang Shuai rubbed his eyes, but still got up, holding the knight’s hand.
Since he is here, he needs to follow the rules.
The hero in front of him was not someone he could fight against. Since he can’t escape, he has to follow him.
This situation is like a well-known saying: life is like being violated, if you can’t resist, you might as well close your eyes and enjoy it.
Soon, all the fleeing prisoners were brought back. Under Zhuang Shuai’s comforting, everyone quieted down and obediently followed the Griffon Knights towards the edge of the dense jungle.
Zhuang Shuai walked side by side with the leading Griffon Knight and asked with a flattering tone: “Brother, as the saying goes, no fight, no acquaintance. My name is Zhuang Shuai, may I know your name?”
The leading Griffon Knight replied without cracking a smile, “Li Youji.”
“So, it’s elder brother Li! I’m sorry for my ignorance!” Zhuang Shuai quickly complimented, “Brother Li, you’re really amazing, are you a seven-star hero, or maybe eight-star?”
Li Youji shook his head, “I’m not a hero.”
“Huh?”
Zhuang Shuai stared wide-eyed in disbelief. If he’s not a hero, how could he suppress me so easily?
If he was a hero, wouldn’t that mean he could reach the skies?
Li Youji added confidently, “But soon! Next time, I will definitely become a hero!”
“Huh?”
Zhuang Shuai was a bit confused – what does he mean ordinary soldiers can become heroes?
However, he still complimented, “I will congratulate Brother Li in advance then! By the way, Brother Li, who is this lord you keep referring to and how does he know where I am?”
Li Youji glanced at him, “The lord’s power is beyond my comprehension.”
“As for who he is, you’ll know when you get there.”
“I see…”
Zhuang Shuai hesitated a bit, just who is this person?
Does he know me?
And he also knows my classmate “loser”?
Could it be that… he is a student from our Special Academy?
But that doesn’t make sense…
In the entire Special Academy, I am the one who held out the longest and achieved the highest rank. Could there be someone stronger than me?
“This assessment involved students from the Support Academy and a part of the Special Academy. It couldn’t possibly be anyone from our academy… Could it be Cui Xiabing from the Support Academy?”
“She’s an impressive nine-star professional!”
“If I’ve managed to survive until now, it’s quite possible that she has too, even amassing such a formidable force.”
“Oh my, who would’ve thought that her strengths extended so far!”
“I should definitely flatter her, hehe… if I could… hehe…”
Soon, under Li Youji’s guidance, Zhuang Shuai arrived at a temporary camp.
Walking into the camp, Zhuang Shuai and his fifteen or so soldiers all froze on the spot, their eyes wide open and mouths agape, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Inside the temporary base, hundreds of Silverback Armored Dragons, Velociraptors, and Salamanders were resting, with some even fighting and training against each other.
The sky was filled with Griffon Knights, at least a hundred, almost completely casting the entire base in shadows!
Soldiers strolling around the base radiated such an intense aura and their eyes held such a gaze, that it was clear without a doubt, they were seasoned warriors.
At the heart of the camp stood a giant tent.
Li Youji led Zhuang Shuai towards it, and immediately, they were stopped by several figures.
Clad in full steel armor, their helmets half-closed, revealing just a pair of vigilant eyes.
On their backs were massive steel shields and gigantic one-handed swords, flashing a terrifying metallic glint.
“Halt, who goes there!”
Li Youji stepped up and introduced himself, “I am Li Youji, I’ve brought back the person our lord wanted.”
The head guardian waved and two other figures approached.
“Frisk him!”
