Chapter 37: A Classic Shoddy Construction Project

The men who had been scolded were filled with resentment. While the rest of the team was busy packing up and preparing to head out for scavenging, they quietly crept into Chen Huaihai’s tarp tent. Indeed, it was Chen Huaihai himself who had instigated them to spy on the Shi family’s tent the previous night. The Chen family’s shelter consisted of several layers, and in the innermost section, several women were huddled together, their eyes vacant and their frames gaunt and sickly. "Have Chen Da and Chen Er not returned yet?"

Unlike the corpses, Xiao Anzhi was fully conscious. He let out a shrill, piercing scream, his face twisted in a hideous grimace of extreme agony as his body writhed and struggled in futile resistance.

However, if too many people were left behind to guard, the evacuation force would be insufficient, inevitably leading to a lack of reserves for the clan. Conversely, if too few were left behind, they would fail to serve as a deterrent. Mastering this balance required careful calculation.

Lu Chen stood tall, his long body motionless, one hand gripping his heavy black iron spear extended horizontally, while the other was tucked behind his back. Apart from the hem of his robe and a few strands of black hair fluttering in the gentle mountain breeze, he looked from afar like an immovable mountain peak.

Would the scales tip once again in favor of the Beast Legion? Perhaps, but before that could happen, they would first have to see if Hogback, the last of the three mysterious figures, would allow it.

"Attack... now!" Ji Yao took a deep breath, desperately trying to suppress the flicker of fear in his heart before gritting his teeth and giving the order.

The Star-ranked eight-star great blade unleashed a surge of thunderous power, its explosive force several times stronger than a full-strength strike from a Tier 4 combatant.

Effect: You can only activate one card with this name per turn. Select two Pendulum Monsters with the same Pendulum Scale but different names from the face-up cards in your Extra Deck and add them to your hand.

Since all of Yi Zhuan Qian Hui’s sword-based skills were on cooldown, he had switched to using a fan. Ye Qian was now maintaining a steady stream of damage using fan-based techniques.

If Kite were to swing his scythe down, it was uncertain whether Neferpitou would die, but Spark would almost certainly have no hope of survival. Left with no choice, Kite had to pull back.

In ancient times, the father of Great Yu attempted to control the floods by building mountains with magical soil, focusing on blockage, which only resulted in endless disaster. Great Yu, however, focused on dredging and diversion, ultimately succeeding in taming the waters.

A sudden idea struck me, and I pulled Sun Xiaoxiao into the conversation, hoping that mentioning her would catch Da Hai’s attention.

"Brother Jian, I heard it clearly. Let him be held accountable for his arrogance." The Emperor, who had been following quietly, could no longer restrain himself and stepped forward, clearly detesting the Sword King’s stubbornness.

"That... was that your doing?" The man had perhaps already guessed the truth, but he could not help but seek confirmation.

Tendou Kisara had a dream—a dream she often had, not a pleasant one, but a nightmare that had plagued her for many years.

"You have come at such an unfortunate time, with an outside enemy invading. Otherwise, I could have shown you the joy and grandeur of our Dragon Birth Festival." Nayanzhenna felt deeply apologetic, but after their journey together, the three of them had grown close enough that formal expressions of gratitude and apology were largely unnecessary.

Qian Cai perhaps truly did not trust Qian Mimi, incessantly pulling on his father, Qian Zhong, until he finally succeeded. He snatched the money bag from Qian Zhong’s hand and began taking out small pieces of silver, biting into them one by one to test their authenticity.

If Yang Siqi had an order to give, it would pass through the neural network worms, be transmitted to the psychic worms, and then finally reach the brain worm. The brain worm would then mobilize the units under its control according to the Overmind’s command. This was the Zerg’s networked command system.
