Although these followers were ravaged and corrupted beyond recognition in this timeline, the sight of their tongues, which seemed unremarkable among mutated life forms, tearing apart the fourth-stage mutated alloy armor like paper still amazed His Excellency the Mage.

There was a time when a bird's large, forked beak had brought them considerable benefits.

Of course, the laning phase back then wasn't as strong as it is now. At most, it was only at the second stage. Now, the second stage wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap for Loki, the lighter who's responsible for guarding the little lady's stove. It might not even be able to take on Lord Reserve Food in one-on-one.

"A bunch of... never mind," Li Cang said weakly, even his cursing was feeble: "Knife Girl?"

"Get out of the way! Let me handle this!"

"?"

The sheer density of the hidden weapons, enough to make even the most dazzling metal snake pale in comparison, danced wildly, almost perfectly predicting all the movements of the small hydraulic clamp and its subordinates. Wherever it passed, tongues shattered and bounced all over the ground.

In fact, Li Cang and Lao Wang used to put a lot of effort into Li Lei's seemingly insignificant little hidden weapons, and they were once considered to have made outstanding contributions. Although they have gradually been phased out of the regular equipment lineup due to their lethality, they are still quite useful for dealing with some unique little things. After all, it would be a bit of a stretch to ask Da Lei to swing the Ferocious Dragon Blade in her current half-dead state.

The weaknesses of mutated life forms like the one before us are easy to identify. The parts they have mutated are basically their weaknesses. Everyone understands the principle that the stronger you are, the easier it is to break. But even mutated bloodline creatures cannot strengthen themselves in every way. Even if the resources are sufficient, their own bloodline may not be able to withstand such terrifying consumption. Advancing to the next level is even more of a problem. In the natural environment, how can mutated life forms have the same favorable conditions as the Great Corpse Brother and the group of rebellious children, where they can only change levels without advancing to the next level?
The arrowhead, imbued with the full power of the bloodline, pierced the human body and then the long tongue, which was covered in barbs, was severed. The consequences were far more dramatic than Li Leisi had imagined. Not only were the small hydraulic clamps unable to grow back, but they also fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Even those that managed to maintain their flight were in a panic and disoriented state.

"Their tongue! Their weakness lies in their tongue!"

The followers shouted for a while, and after a brief moment of panic, they quickly regained their footing. They stopped using their cannons and skills, waiting for the small hydraulic pincers to open their mouths and strike, but they were still too fast. So, the thick-skinned followers or servants of fate took the initiative to go forward and pull the monsters to create opportunities for their companions to attack.

A few injuries are nothing to worry about; a few more bites of food will make up for it. If all those high-attack, low-defense, fragile guys are wiped out, where will they find someone to stick together for warmth? Next time a strange tide comes, they'll just be sitting there as live targets.

"Haha, this thing has a lot of meat on it! Just a sip of its tongue is enough to make you drink two bowls of wine!"

"Is Bro still asleep? Where's the wine?"

"Ha, once we get out, Young Master Anthony will be footing the bill for everything!"

"Hey, who is this? Are you out of your mind? Don't make such a big mistake!"

"If you still have any coins, you can buy some from that guy. He's a famous businessman who's honest and fair, and he's sure to have good stuff!"

"What if he tells you that harmony brings wealth?"

"Idiot, why don't you just say free trade?"

"."

The atmosphere improved.

"Hey, that weapon storm over there, that's enough already!" Li Cang frowned, his face stern. "You've just recovered, take it easy, another injury and you'll be out in bed again!" Li Leisi decisively stopped while she was ahead, but being a respectable person, she couldn't help but nag a few more times: "If I don't get some exercise, this old lady will rust!"

"Huh? Stainless steel rusts too?"

"Oh! What's your composition? Can I have a few ounces to check it out?"

"Ding~"

The greatsword casually deflected the pair of tiny, fist-sized halberds that the woman was aiming for at his groin, and arrogantly asked, "How many ounces? Kilograms!"

Li Leisi's eyes were disdainful: "You think you can fool me? I know exactly what you're capable of! You can fool yourself, but you think you can fool your brother who shares your bed?"

"What is this thing, how much does it weigh?" Old Wang slammed a whole bundle of bird tongues down in front of them. "The flamingo tongues from Mushenlu last time were absolutely delicious. I figured this thing looks similar, and the breed is right, so it shouldn't be any worse. Here, all whole, young lady, what do you say?"

Three meters is not short, five meters is not long. The net-like mucus, almost like tendons or oil, is attached to the root-like tongue. This thing looks like it was forcibly pulled out by someone, without any cutting. It fits the simple and brutal yet delicate and refined persona of Old Wang.

Faced with a bundle of tongues still flailing about, covered in barbs and spikes, the young lady, having been thoroughly trained by Li Cang and Old Wang's tentacle-themed art style, surprisingly showed no signs of discomfort. She decisively replied, "I don't know, let's leave it there for now and try it out later."

"Alright!" Old Wang was satisfied. He casually swatted a small hydraulic shear that had been flying towards him in a panic, turning it into a cloud of blood mist. "Hey Li, isn't that thing supposed to summon ogres? What the hell is this? Tell your father! You're untrustworthy and immoral. Do you even know what's going on?"

"Is it possible that this thing is just fast? Look around, where are there any geological fragments? Even if that timi ogre wanted to jump out of a crack in the rocks, it wouldn't have the chance!" Li Cang said unhurriedly, "Hmm, but I'm also curious about what kind of ogre it is. Do you think it's salty or sweet?"

"What's the difference between asking me this question and asking whether someone with your looks would be considered a mature woman or a loli in Chengdu?" Old Wang sneered. "Besides, a cannibal can't be priced like a meat dish, right? The goods have to match the description. What, you want to eat people?"

When it came to a confrontation, Li Cang responded with ease: "Heh, if that's how you put it, then you can't say it like that. If a dog eats shit, you eat the dog. Why don't you just eat shit directly? There's no middleman taking a cut!"

"You fucking bastard, I don't eat dog meat!"

"Oh, and the cilantro, peanuts, melon seeds, and potatoes we grow in our field—"

"Gan!"

Old Wang's face turned green. He stopped arguing with this bastard and chose to launch a physical attack with his firm, thick middle finger, using brute force to overcome any skill.

Li Cang scoffed dismissively.

The giant wand twisted and turned, adjusting its position and angle, then suddenly its rear end was facing upwards, it grew to a gigantic size, and began to shake and tremble.

A giant, thick, pictographic middle finger leaps into view.
