king?
Liu Bai was taken aback.
This guy, Wang, must be a high-ranking member of their spirit insects, right?
But why is that?
He had never seen such a being before, let alone come into contact with it.
After a moment of silence, Liu Bai asked, "Do I know your king?"
"Perhaps, but it's unlikely, after all, our king is a fifth-tier being!" The dragonfly raised its green head, seemingly incredibly proud. "You should tell me what your ability is, shouldn't you?"
Liu Bai did not reply; his tense body shot off like an arrow, heading straight for the dragonfly creature.
call out!
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the dragonfly creature and decisively raised his knife to stab its vitals!
Dragonfly frowned slightly, took a half step back and tilted her body, a flame ignited in her palm, and she swung it at Liu Bai with lightning speed.
As if he had expected it, Liu Bai decisively sheathed his sword and held it horizontally in front of him, preparing to block.
Clang!
The fiery palm struck, and the short sword vibrated.
Liu Bai flew backward like a marble, finally managing to steady himself by bracing himself with his feet on the ground.
"Hiss—you can even react to that? Have you awakened your conceptual combat instincts?" The dragonfly creature looked surprised, then its expression turned disgusted.
"You creatures aren't even as trustworthy as us spirit insects! You promised to tell me your abilities!"
After saying that, his wings flapped behind him, making a buzzing sound, and his body turned into a blur as he rushed straight towards Liu Bai!
Liu Bai tensed up, decisively drawing the X-shaped short knife he had brought with him with his left hand, and holding it horizontally in front of him with both hands.
Just as the dragonfly was within reach, Liu Bai, as if he could predict the direction of the attack, thrust his short sword straight at it a fraction of a second in advance!
On the cyber street, two figures moved with the speed of afterimages, and a strange flame ignited on the dragonfly's body, burning upon contact.
His green arms, wreathed in flames and shaped like eagle claws, were aimed at Liu Bai's vital points with each strike.
Liu Bai was able to react quickly to each attack and deliver a slash during the gaps in the attack.
Unfortunately, the dragonfly's reaction, speed, strength, and so on were far superior to Liu Bai's, so Liu Bai's counterattack had no effect.
Forced to retreat continuously, Liu Bai quickly dodged the attacks while mentally calculating the time.
Two minutes later.
He gradually increased his strength, and his defense began to falter, leaving him only able to retreat to evade.
Among the creatures watching from the street, there were also those with abilities, but none of them were willing to make a move; they all remained in a wait-and-see attitude.
Suddenly, the dragonfly spotted an opening in Liu Bai's defenses and kicked him hard with its green leg, sending Liu Bai flying backwards into the midst of the onlookers.
Swish!
The surrounding creatures promptly retreated, maintaining their distance from Liu Bai.
The dragonfly gave Liu Bai no chance to catch his breath, flapping its wings to quickly catch up.
call out!
Just then, a row of bamboo rose between Liu Bai and the dragonfly, and then grew rapidly, separating the two of them.
"Phew—finally, I cleared the game without taking any damage." Liu Bai struggled to sit up, a smile on his face, as he wiped the blood from the scrapes on his face.
He had lost count of how many times he had rewound to this point; the most recent times, he had either lost a hand or a foot or suffered a fatal injury.
The dragonfly suddenly stopped and looked solemnly at the street on its right, its tone filled with utter astonishment.
"Ancient people? How come there are second-tier ancient people here?"
On the street, a young human dressed in a silver-white shimmering suit slightly raised his left hand, his gaze fixed on a dragonfly.
"You Spirit Insect Clan, you actually managed to get your hands on a Zero-Tier Star City?"
The young man's voice also sounded somewhat surprised, as if he was quite taken aback by the dragonfly's appearance.
The dragonfly did not respond to the young man, but decisively flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Seeing this, the young man said with disdain, "A mere first-tier spirit insect thinks it can escape?"
He opened his palm, aimed it at the dragonfly in the sky, and gently closed it.
The next moment, several sharp bamboo poles appeared out of thin air around the dragonfly.
After the bamboo appeared, it suddenly stabbed at the dragonfly.
puff.
A spray of green blood appeared as the bamboo skewer pierced straight into the dragonfly, just like a kebab!
boom!
The dragonfly's wings stopped abruptly, and it then plummeted from a height of three meters.
The young man, as if crushing an ant, showed no change in expression as he slowly walked up to Liu Bai, who was supporting himself on his hands, and extended his right hand.
Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, then raised his arm, grasped the young man's hand, and used the leverage to stand up.
After getting up, he dusted himself off and said, "Thanks."
During his training, he saw the young man's information; he was the team leader for tomorrow morning and came from an ancient civilization.
The young man had a handsome face and a faint ancient character mark on his forehead.
He looked at the onlookers and waved.
In an instant, a blue, oval-shaped robot appeared out of thin air in mid-air.
"The Ancient Law Enforcement Department has sealed off this area. All unauthorized personnel are requested to leave immediately!"
As the robot's voice faded, ripples spread through the surrounding space, and a continuous stream of white robots began to appear, sealing off the area.
The creatures that had been observing dispersed in a flurry, but a few of them took one last, deep look at Liu Bai before leaving.
Silence returned, and the young man smiled faintly, saying, "Let me introduce myself first. I come from an ancient civilization, and my name is Gu Ming."
"I come from human civilization, and my name is Liu Bai," Liu Bai nodded in response.
Gu Ming nodded, maintaining a slight smile, and said, "Your civilization is a branch of the ancients, you should know that, right?"
"I know." Liu Bai nodded slightly.
Gu Ming glanced at the six corpses on the ground and continued to ask, "You faced six spirit insects of the same level, and even spirit insects that were a level higher than you, and you managed to stall for several minutes without taking any damage."
He paused for a moment, then said confidently, "If I'm not mistaken, the ability you awakened should be your conceptual combat instinct, right?"
"Yes, it's the fighting instinct." Liu Bai paused for a moment, then readily agreed.
It wouldn't hurt him to agree; it would also cover up the rollback.
The young man wore an expression that said, "I knew it," and his smile widened even further: "Liu Bai, are you interested in returning to our sect and joining the ancient civilization?"
"Our ancient civilization welcomes those with potential and ability from all branches to return. We can give you a certain status and power."
"What do I have to give in return?" Liu Bai wasn't tempted; instead, he directly asked a question.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Moreover, he didn't want to have an extra ancestor on his head out of nowhere.
"You don't need to give anything. Just go to our ancient civilization, and we will provide you with resources to grow."
"That's all?" Liu Bai was a little skeptical.
"That's all!" Gu Ming nodded.
"Can I think about it?" Liu Bai narrowed his eyes, not immediately agreeing. "I'm not very familiar with your ancient civilization."
He planned to ask Su Yumu or Le Yu before making a decision, as there might be some pitfalls involved, which would be a loss.
"Sure," Gu Ming readily agreed and directed the robot to clean up the scene.
This is a zero-level star city; it's impossible to find out about ancient civilizations here.
and--
This person could attract the Spirit Insect Clan to sneak over and hunt him down, so he might have some secrets. Let's lure him away first.
Upon hearing that it was possible, Liu Bai immediately raised his wrist and asked the AI, "I just killed six spirits, how do I apply for merit points?"
A holographic projection of an ancient-style girl appeared on his wrist, saying sweetly, "Master, your battle footage has been uploaded to the merit review department. The merits will be credited to your account within 10 hours~"
Liu Bai's face lit up with joy, and he continued to ask, "How many merits can I obtain?"
The girl in ancient style blinked and said gently, "Master, because the Galactic Alliance has declared war on the Spirit Insect Clan, the merit points for killing Spirit Insects will be doubled. For six Rank 0 Spirit Insects, you will receive 3.6 merit points~"
Liu Bai nodded, mentally calculating that this was equivalent to thirty-six interstellar coins.
That's not bad.
Based on this, killing a level 0 spirit normally costs three interstellar coins.
One interstellar coin has the purchasing power of one million in the cosmos.
But when he thought of this, he couldn't help but remember that he still owed Su Yumu eighty-eight star coins.
"Let's pay back the money first."
Although he and Su Yumu are a couple, they are only a couple at the moment and are not married.
Therefore, when it comes to money, he personally prefers to keep clear accounts.
Just as Liu Bai was pondering, a cold female voice rang out from the perimeter of the robot.
"Get out of my way, all of you!"
As soon as the voice came out, Liu Bai and Gu Ming immediately looked over.
Upon hearing the sound, Liu Bai immediately turned off the ancient-style girl projection in his hand.
Gu Ming, beaming, strode forward, waved for the robot to leave, and said, "Miss Su, I've finally found you. I just arrived here when I heard you encountered the Spirit Insect Clan. Are you alright?"
As soon as the robot left, a stunningly beautiful young woman with long, straight black hair walked into the street, carrying a purple longsword.
Surprisingly, six dragonfly-like creatures were strung together on the girl's longsword, with green liquid dripping down from them.
The girl frowned at Gu Ming and said coldly, "Where's Gu Yu? Is he here too?"
Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl, Gu Ming said ingratiatingly, "Miss Su, the young master is on his way. I was the closest, so I came ahead of him."
After saying that, a look of concern appeared on his face as he asked, "Miss Su, are you alright? Should I call the medical department to take a look at you?"
"Get out of my way." Su Yumu's eyes flashed with impatience, and she swung her long sword sharply.
The dragonfly-like creatures strung on the longsword immediately flew towards Gu Ming.
"Go back and tell Gu Yu that if he keeps pestering me, I'll break his legs!"
call out!
A row of bamboo suddenly appeared in front of Gu Ming, catching the dragonfly's corpse steadily. His smile remained unchanged as he said, "Miss Su, why did you do this? Our young master went through so much trouble to come to this godforsaken place for you, and you won't even see him?"
"I've already told you I have someone I love! Go back and tell him to get as far away from me as possible!" Su Yumu swung her longsword again.
A flash of cold light disappeared in an instant, and the bamboo in front of Gu Ming split open like pieces of paper.
Gu Ming frowned, waved his hand to put away the bamboo, and said, "Miss Su, the entire humanoid interstellar circle knows that this is just an excuse. The person you mentioned who you love has never shown up. You—"
He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.
Su Yumu ignored him and strode towards the branch ability user, a slight smile playing on her lips as she teased, "Little Bai, so you like period dramas?"
After saying that, she gently reached out and put her arm around Liu Bai's arm.
Liu Bai shuddered, cold sweat pouring out instantly. In that instant, he wanted to rewind time.
Su Yumu narrowed her eyes, her bright, watery eyes looking at Liu Bai, and she adopted the sweet, girlish tone she had just used, saying, "Master, huh~ So you like being called that? Master~ Can I call you that from now on? Oh dear! Master, why is your forehead injured? Let me blow on it for you—"
Su Yumu's tone was soft and sweet, which was incredibly pleasant to listen to, but Liu Bai felt no pleasure at all.
Feeling the girl's body temperature coming from his shoulder, he hurriedly explained, "Ahem—Xiao Su, that's just artificial intelligence."
At the same time, Gu Ming fell silent and did not make a sound. His face first showed some doubt, and then disbelief appeared.
Finally, disbelief was replaced by jealousy, which was mixed with incomprehension.
It's hard to imagine.
A person's facial features can simultaneously express so many different emotions.
