"Lei Yong, why don't you go and test your skills yourself first? I don't have that much money."
The man in the suit said to the person next to him.
That's right, the person next to him is Lei Yong, the captain of the Great Xia Special Extermination Team, and also the vice captain of the [Godslayer] team.
"Hmph, you brat!"
Lei Yong glanced at the man beside him and assumed a fighting stance.
"Hey! Stop fighting! I really didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to break this shield, I didn't mean to hurt anyone!"
[Spring] hurriedly waved her hand,
"I will not harm innocent people, although 'they' might, I will try my best to stop them!"
【Spring】Her tearful eyes were full of sincerity.
Lei Yong scoffed.
"Hmph, do all you top-tier mutants hide your true nature? The last one was just like you, putting on a really convincing act!"
He stretched his hand out into the air, and a straight knife was drawn from it. He swung it forcefully at the girl in front of him.
A massive sword aura slashed towards the opponent.
[Spring] hurriedly stretched out her tender little hand to defend herself, and a sunflower made of sunlight bloomed in front of her, blocking the attack.
However, the powerful force of the sword energy still forced her back several steps, and the sunflower in front of her vanished.
"I really don't want to be with you guys..."
Click—!
Before Chun could finish speaking, the massive energy shield around them shattered with a deafening roar.
"Huh? What's going on? I haven't even used any force yet!"
【Spring】opened her mouth wide in surprise, but seeing that the other two were also attracted, she quickly tried to slip away.
"Um, I... I'm leaving! I really won't hurt anyone!"
After saying that, she stepped on the thick vines and ran away in a flash.
The two of them turned around and looked back in surprise.
"No... this mutant is actually quite polite; it even told us before it ran away."
The man in the suit looked in the direction [Spring] had fled, feeling somewhat intrigued.
"Don't just stand there, hurry and chase after them!"
Lei Yong kicked him in the butt, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and quickly chased after him.
The man in the suit cracked his neck, the wing pendant on his chest glowed slightly, and he was lifted up by a gentle breeze as he chased after it.
...
City border.
Ekalen retrieved the Dragonbone Cannon beside him, gazing at the shattered fragments that scattered like snowflakes.
"What do we do now? Go find the boss?" Fran asked.
Aikalen shook her head.
"Forget it, the direction the boss is heading in is exactly opposite to the border we're currently at; it's too far away."
Besides, the [Godslayer] team is currently in the city. Rushing through the city risks being caught by them, so we should leave first.
We'll meet up with the boss after we get out of here.
Ekalen lowered his head to analyze carefully, while Fran stared at him with a strange smile.
"What are you looking at? What kind of look is that?"
Fran waved his hand. "It's nothing, it's just that I always have this feeling that you've grown up."
"You're talking as if I'm your son..."
"Hey, I wouldn't mind taking you as my son."
"..."
Fran looked into the distance, his brows suddenly furrowing.
"What's wrong?"
Aikalen turned her head and looked over, her pupils contracting sharply.
In the distance, thick smoke rose from the horizon like a ferocious beast rushing towards them.
Fran reached out and touched the flesh-and-blood knife trembling slightly behind him, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Could it be... one of the Four Seasons has arrived?"
“Possibly.” Aikalen nodded, her voice slightly trembling. “Judging from the commotion, it might be [Xia].”
"Then what do we do?"
"Currently, two of the Four Seasons are being temporarily restrained by God Destroyer. If only one of the Four Seasons is dealing with the boss, the boss can still handle it."
But what if another one comes along…
Fran exhaled as if resigned to his fate, slowly pulling out the long sword made of flesh and blood from behind his back, gripping the hilt tightly like a hero facing death.
Aikalen's body flickered slightly, and a red pixelated heart appeared in front of her.
A dozen or so dragon bone cannons appeared around him, and he held a pure white pixelated spear tightly in his hand.
"Look how nervous you are, your teeth are chattering." Fran smiled at Ekaren.
"You're the same way, your hands are shaking too."
"Can they be the same? You are a 'Star Glory', and I am just a 'Transcendent'."
"Maybe one slap and he'll be gone."
The two smiled at the same time, their eyes revealing an extremely solemn expression.
The thick smoke grew clearer, and a raging fire appeared in their eyes.
The flame seemed to notice the two of them, halting its advance and burning fiercely in place.
Their heartbeats slowed instantly, as an unprecedented sense of pressure and tension surged through them.
In their eyes, a dark-skinned, beast-like figure was engulfed in raging flames.
【summer】!
Xia stared at the two people hundreds of meters away from him, and his mouth suddenly stretched to the roots of his ears.
"Hahaha! The symbiotic partner of [Life] has actually delivered itself to my doorstep, saving me the trouble of forcibly merging with it!"
Scorching flames breathed from his mouth as Xia pressed his body down repeatedly, his strong upper limbs touching the ground.
But his body was still pressing down, his legs were slightly bent, and he was like a wild beast poised to pounce, with all four limbs on the ground.
"Please, my friends!"
With a wave of his hand, several pixelated figures appeared around him.
