Pretending To Be A Boss

Chapter 106 The Fall Won't Kill Me

Outside the ice wall, Tang Xian, the solitary figure, didn't feel a critical hit looking at the two hugging each other. Read latest stories on empire

He just felt it was a bit of a waste of time.

However, having already arrived at the deepest part of the Red Soil Forest, Tang Xian also wasn't in a hurry.

Now, he still needed to explain to Akasi that Tang Suoye was unable to speak.

"There's something I need to tell you. Your girl is unable to speak for some reason, I guess it's due to a high concentration of blood serum, which led to the loss of her language function."

Tang Xian said it very bluntly.

Tang Suoye lowered her head, not letting anyone see her saddened expression.

Akasi was stunned at first, then gently rubbed Tang Suoye's hair and said softly,

"It's okay, I'll try to be more in tune with you."

Try to be more in tune with her. Guessing those thoughts she couldn't voice.

Tang Xian was slightly surprised; although he had known Akasi would be accepting, he didn't expect him to be so calm and natural about it.

This guy is born with killer instincts, right? Boldly venturing into the deepest part of the Red Soil Forest, yet beneath the assassin's exterior lies a tender soul.

Before the air began to fill with the sour stench of mental exertion, Akasi turned to Tang Xian and said promptly,

"The two from the Evolution Zone are inside. I can't break through this ice wall. Their goal should be the same as yours."

"Let Tang Suoye do it," Tang Xian said.

Tang Suoye nodded, and the young girl quickly came to her senses from the joy of reunion, without any delay, her blue pupils once again reflecting the light of the deep sea.

The layers of ice that Akasi couldn't break began to slowly show web-like cracks.

The entire ice wall seemed to become disconnected, with small pieces of ice floating in the air like drift ice.

These fragments were but a drop in the ocean compared to the entire wall.

But it happened countless times in just a brief moment.

The tiny drift ice, like stars, and above Akasi's and Tang Xian's heads was a galaxy.

In just a matter of seconds, the entire ice wall was completely disintegrated.

The petty ice scrap fell evenly everywhere, like hail.

The fierce sound made numerous animals let out panicked cries.

Akasi was astounded; he knew all too well what level Tang Suoye's strength was before.

Although destroying things is much simpler than creating them, it took Black Snake a lot of effort to create that ice wall; he was practically exhausted afterward.

Yet Tang Suoye didn't show the slightest discomfort.

It seemed like a rather tedious and bothersome task that didn't require much energy.

After a long time, the sounds of beasts and falling hail both gradually disappeared.

The depths of the Red Soil Forest returned to tranquility once more.

"They're gone."

Akasi looked ahead, where those beasts clearly remained in place without shifting.

Yet the figures of Black Snake and s004 had disappeared.

Akasi was puzzled; although the two were S-class test subjects, how could they pass through such a massive herd of creatures?

"The scent is gone too," Tang Xian said in a serious tone.

He asked, "Do you have any other intel about these two test subjects?"

"One can summon ice elements, but their other abilities are only at the level of ordinary test subjects. Another one is S-class; the bald one has terrifying shooting skills, and he's somewhat similar to Ye. Both use Telekinesis; beyond that, they're slightly stronger than ordinary test subjects. No additional abilities have been discovered, but they should have no reserves."

Tang Xian nodded and said,

"If they didn't defeat you, they probably didn't hold back. It seems they have some sort of camouflage ability. But such an ability won't last long."

High-tech stealth devices can't be used in the mining area; Tang Xian believed the more powerful the method, the more stringent the conditions for its use in the mine.

"Regarding the calamity-level boss, can we get our hands on it?" Akasi asked.

"I'm not sure, but according to the records, when the Zudun Sacred Tree is a sapling, its Soul Crystal will be exposed on the tree trunk, like a heart grown on the trunk or a fruit borne by it. Unlike animals, we don't need to kill them to extract the Soul Crystals. We just need to steal the Soul Crystal."

Tang Xian continued,

"Those two from the Evolution Zone must be thinking of heading to the same place."

In the midst of the night, a faint red glow cast light upon countless eyes.

Even with just a glimpse through the haze, Tang Xian could imagine the number of these creatures.

Their individual strengths, the overall number, were far beyond those of the hunters they had faced before.

Tang Xian wasn't sure if Tang Suoye could control a situation like this.

The development of the situation then completely exceeded Tang Xian's expectations.

As the three of them broke through the ice wall and were scheming on how to breakthrough the second line of defense formed by the herd,

A voice echoed in Tang Xian's mind.

[Remnant of the First Civilization, did you bring these foolish humans?]

The voice had an archaic tinge but also sounded somewhat weak.

Tang Xian knew of only one situation where he would hear a voice in his mind.

That was when facing a boss-level creature incapable of human form.

Theoretically, Zudun the calamity-level boss Sacred Tree should be like Bai Mansheng and Qing JiuYu, capable of taking on human form.

But it was a plant. Tang Xian speculated that this was why it couldn't transform into a human.

[Give me back my Soul Crystal! Otherwise, even if it's you, I will launch an attack! Your people have stolen the opportunity for evolution from all beings! You are provoking a war!]

Tang Xian remained silent.
