American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

When fully armed Zoe and Madison arrived one after the other, they were met with this hellish scene.

"Disgusting stuff!"

He hastily drew back a burst of scorching heat, which dissipated into a dozen flaming knives, skewering several strange fish that had rushed onto the shallow water and were chasing a young couple into roast meat. Madison, who arrived a little later, spat angrily.

"Where's that guy?"

While Zoe chanted intently, she shot out strands of dark light as thin as hair from her fingertips, accurately striking the strange fish that darted swiftly through the lake. In the midst of her busy work, she flicked her long hair toward the lake.

The blonde little witch looked around and saw a bright, long silver light in the distance, like a dragon or snake cutting through the wind and waves, moving back and forth!

With the flu pandemic, family members have been getting sick one after another, keeping me incredibly busy. I'll probably only be able to squeeze in one update today and tomorrow.

Everyone please take care of yourselves. There are 50 students in one class at my child's school, and more than 30 have already taken leave. It seems like classes will have to be suspended soon; the situation is very serious.

Chapter 154 A Sword Soars Through the Waves

At this moment, Zhu Mingyao was going all out without holding back.

With its feet treading on the waves, it raced swiftly across the lake. Each step it took generated a hidden force that stirred up large splashes of water, causing the nearby man-eating monsters to flip belly-up.

The ghostly soldiers roared and danced, and the yellow paper talismans scattered. The sword pellet, which had just been refined, transformed into a sharp silver light, like a sea dragon diving into the water and attacking in all directions.

He single-handedly set up a defensive line two to three hundred meters long in the deep water outside the concert venue, blocking the vast majority of the piranhas.

His protective golden armor shone brightly, and his sword energy swirled like a rainbow, complementing various spells and supernatural powers that flashed with dazzling light, making him appear like a god.

In addition, anyone with eyes could see that the other side was fighting hard against those man-eating monster fish, rescuing and covering everyone. Some tourists who escaped to the shore, in a state of extreme joy and sorrow, knelt down and shouted incoherently the names of angels, holy spirits, superheroes, etc., and prayed on the spot despite their injuries.

At this time, Zhu Mingyao appeared imposing, but in reality, he was under immense pressure.

"These damned things are definitely not naturally occurring mutated creatures!"

He struck the ground with his staff, delivering a home run that sent an exceptionally large, strange fish soaring high into the air before finally falling back down.

Under the boy's powerful blows, even a hard-shelled sea turtle should have been reduced to a pulp long ago, but this ferocious fat fish, which was two or three feet long, floated on the surface of the water, twitching and slowly swaying its tail fin, and surprisingly did not die for the time being.

Zhu Mingyao felt a wave of disgust. These man-eating monsters were far more ferocious than those in the original movie. Not only were their bodies tougher than iron, but they also had a certain degree of magic resistance. They were like cockroaches with iron skin. Judging from the aura they sensed, they were clearly some kind of magical beast that had been modified by humans!

If it were a single attacker, it wouldn't be a problem; I could kill it with a flick of my finger. I might even have the leisure to go through the traditional Chinese biological research process—can it be eaten? Is it tasty? How should it be eaten?

However, if it were today's hordes of tourists, it would be extremely difficult, especially since the objective of this battle is not to kill the enemy, but to protect the safety of tourists in a large area.

The game's style suddenly changed from hack-and-slash to tower defense, and he only had one tower to defend himself. The difficulty of the battle increased several orders of magnitude, making him quite exhausted. Even with all his methods, he could not help but let a few enemies slip through his net.

Hearing the screams and cries for help rising and falling behind him, Zhu Mingyao felt a surge of suppressed anger, which even the kill reward messages coming from the system could not diminish in the slightest.

He pushed over a complete stranger and stepped into the lake, just to get ashore as quickly as possible.

He dragged his lover, with whom he had made vows of eternal love, toward the fish's mouth so that he could escape alone.

Despite being bitten and wounded, the parents resolutely raised their hands and lifted their child to the surface of the water...

An old man, dragging his frail and aged body, resolutely embraced a strange fish that was chasing him, creating a chance for his wife to live...

Regardless of race, age, or gender, humanity, this contradictory unity of nobility and baseness, reveals its complex nature in its entirety at this moment.

Although I always like to joke that with the system, this world of crossover movies and TV shows feels like a game to me...

...But I still can't see those flesh-and-blood people as mere NPCs, like weeds...

Damn it! Being so soft-hearted is a disgrace to fellow time travelers!

Zhu Mingyao smiled bitterly to himself. Oh well, he'd just consider it a necessary sacrifice to maintain his image as a righteous superhero.

He glanced tenderly at the peach wood staff in his hand, about to unleash a powerful Dao technique that could only be used after advancing to the Innate Realm.

I hope the old man won't scold me for being a spendthrift...

Perhaps Zhu Mingyao's budding kindness moved some unseen force, temporarily sparing him from being severely scolded by his teacher.

A burst of crimson light and a purple shadow arrived just in time to come to his aid, landing beside him and revealing two fully armed little witches who fought alongside him.

With a light swirl of her witch's robes, fiery blades and shadowy needles rained down, killing a large number of piranhas while also slightly relieving the combat pressure on Zhu Mingyao.

He caught the pocket communicator that the other party tossed to him and put it in his ear. He opened his mouth and exhaled all his pent-up frustration along with a burst of "heart fire," turning the area in front of him into an illusory dark red sea of ​​fire.

Watching the man-eating monsters go berserk, tearing at each other, scales flying everywhere, blood splattering all around, Zhu Mingyao said in a deep voice:

"Give me 30 seconds!"

Before he could say anything more, the crimson light and purple shadows suddenly separated to the left and right, each displaying their unique abilities to guard one side!

Madison waved her hand, and a string of crystal-clear, bright red garnet beads on her wrist burst forth with crimson light. Dozens of tiny flames, the size of soybeans, scattered in the wind, descending like a celestial maiden scattering flowers in a dreamlike manner.

The tiny, weak flame exploded with a deafening roar the moment it touched the water's surface, bursting into a massive burst of fire and shockwave that shattered the swarm of fish that were charging toward the defensive line. The charred, stinking fish carcasses flew everywhere, and the power was comparable to that of an old-fashioned hand grenade.

Unlike her companions, Zoe was not flamboyant. She simply gripped a purple pendant between her towering breasts tightly. From this center, countless faint, slender black threads rapidly spread out, intertwining back and forth to form geometric patterns. In an instant, a huge net of energy was laid out, covering the water in front of her.

The dull netting may seem inconspicuous, but any ferocious fish of all sizes that come into contact with it will immediately stiffen and become paralyzed, their gills ceasing to throb, and they will sink to the bottom of the lake like stones, seemingly about to drown!

A fish drowns – behind this lame joke lies a chilling reality.

—To be able to cultivate a simple paralysis spell to such a profound and terrifying level, even to the point of completely suppressing the breathing instinct of living beings, this timid and introverted long-haired girl's true strength is probably even greater than that of her carefree best friend!

With two comrades-in-arms taking the pressure off him, Zhu Mingyao was finally able to free up his hands to implement the countermeasures he had devised.

He focused his mind, recalled the sword pellet and held it in his hand. With the infusion of true qi, the silvery-white light wrapped and stretched, transforming in the blink of an eye into a three-foot-long sword that gleamed with a cold light.

He channeled all his magical power and slashed through the air at the point where the deep and shallow waters of the lake were divided by light and shadow!

"ban!"

A true word was uttered!

A sword flash descended!

A pale white stream of air immediately emerged, then vanished into the lake water in the blink of an eye.

The swarm of piranhas, which were rushing toward this place in droves, suddenly stopped, as if they had crashed into a transparent glass barrier. Despite their desperate attempts to break through and bite, they could no longer cross the line.

Borrowing metal creates water, borrowing water dissolves metal, and the five elements of Qi are restricted!

Transform the softest water into the strongest shield!

Banned! Banned! Banned!

Zhu Mingyao waded across the water, his feet sweeping horizontally as he slashed repeatedly with his sword, creating layers of air barriers that connected to form an invisible and intangible Great Wall in the water, protecting the music festival venue inside.

30 seconds, just right!

just now……

He glanced at the fish gnawing at the barrier and grinned fiercely!

You bunch of beasts, all of you, go to hell!

My child isn't feeling well, so we only have one appointment today. Half the students at school are absent, and the children's hospital is packed. (￣.￣)

Chapter 155 Rescue and Pursuit

"Clap!"

Even after being thrown ashore and facing imminent death, the Crimson-Eyed Monster Fish still followed the behavioral logic instilled in them by their creators, slapping its tail loudly and opening its massive mouth, which occupied nearly a quarter of its body, desperately searching for the scent of living flesh and blood.

The next second, a large foot wearing a beach sandal descended from the sky, crushing its hard body into pieces of minced meat. As if that wasn't enough, the owner of the large foot crushed it a few more times until the minced meat was almost rolled into fish balls before stopping.

This is the last one.

Zhu Mingyao pressed the communicator in his ear and reported his safety to Michelle, who was stationed at the hotel, and also asked her to perform a divination to see if there were any remaining enemies.

Then he looked around, his face somber yet filled with a sense of relief. Thanks to his magical [Dragon Flower Brightness Mantra], most of the people had already been lured ashore when the piranhas attacked. In addition, the two little witches arrived in time to help. With the three of them working together to rescue the piranhas, although there were many wounded, not many people actually died.

It's good that he didn't die on the spot...

He gave a shout and pulled Madison and the other man who had come over to give him some emergency first aid.

Since they had already put on a spectacular magical battle with amazing special effects in front of everyone, the three of them were too lazy to hide anything anymore and used their respective skills to fight each other.

Paralysis, hemostasis, and psionic healing!

Golden Wound Mantra, Rejuvenation Mantra, Talisman Water and Sweet Dew!

Those with minor injuries were simply given a simple hemostasis and allowed to rest. For the seriously injured, Zhu Mingyao channeled a divine power derived from the Liver God Dragon Smoke, called "Yi Wood Long Life Force," and then had Zoe cast a few paralysis spells to put them into a near-hibernation state and keep them alive.

Finally, they brought over several large buckets of juice from the cold drink stall, poured in a bunch of healing potions, and distributed them.

By the time the accompanying agents arrived with the town's sheriff and medical personnel, most of the seriously injured had been treated. As for the dozen or so victims who died on the spot, Zhu Mingyao could only helplessly lower his head and walk away.

Do your best and leave the rest to fate!

There aren't that many happy endings in this world!

Even so, seeing his relatives weeping over the corpse, he still felt somewhat downcast. Not only him, but the two little witches also looked gloomy.

Even though she had received various training from the sorority and had seen blood and death in private, and even personally carried out killings to hone her courage, those were mostly monsters captured by the mentors and heinous gangsters. They were nothing compared to the horrific scene of flesh and blood torn apart and bones exposed before her eyes.

After all, they are only eighteen or nineteen years old, and their hearts have not yet been hardened by time.

They silently returned to the RV to rest. The three of them were speechless. Zhu Mingyao sat down to regulate his breathing, Zoe closed her eyes to meditate, and Madison frantically stuffed desserts into her mouth, each using their own methods to adjust their mood.

Just then, the communicator suddenly rang, breaking the oppressive atmosphere inside the car.

Madison, relieved, grabbed him; her cheerful personality had long been unable to tolerate the atmosphere.

"What? The source of danger is still there?" Upon hearing the fortune teller's findings from her spellcasting, all three of them changed their expressions.

"Want to go take a look?" Though they said this, the two girls looked eager and clearly wanted to take the opportunity to vent their frustrations.

"of course?"

Zhu Mingyao stood up abruptly, wanting to see who was behind this!

……

...

A speedboat cut through the waves, shattering the smooth, mirror-like surface of the azure lake.

Zhu Mingyao did not stand in the driver's seat, but instead held an ebony compass and stood next to Madison, who was holding the steering wheel.

As the saying goes, the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, the proletariat plays with computers, and the upper classes prefer to focus on yachts and airplanes. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she is very skilled at handling these high-end mechanical gadgets, much better than some guy who can only drive a second-hand pickup truck.
