Oh no! I'm surrounded by the main characters!

Ignoring Luo Chuan's carefree attitude, Yan Lili continued to ask the question that had been on her mind.

"Wait? You've been following me all morning?"

"I'm just curious... Besides, you just haven't noticed it yourself."

Luo Chuan looked at Yan Lili with some surprise. Seeing this, Yan Lili looked away guiltily.

She had heard Luo Chuan talk about the Light and Shadow Armor last night, and she had a lot of questions on her mind.

I had planned to visit him this morning to ask him more questions, but as soon as I stepped outside, I saw Luo Chuan rushing out.

Driven by intense curiosity, she secretly activated dark magic to conceal herself and followed Luo Chuan here.

"Me? I'm looking for those armored warriors."

"Armor Heroes? Why are you looking for them?"

Yan Lili looked at Luo Chuan with some confusion.

"Of course, I'd ask them to protect ordinary citizens like me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lili immediately turned her head and looked him up and down with a suspicious gaze.

"Hmph! If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

She vividly remembered that last night, Luo Chuan single-handedly defeated the Evil Ginseng Beast with just a model sword.

Now they're telling her to seek protection from Armor Warriors, which is clearly just a perfunctory response.

Seeing her sulking expression, Luo Chuan couldn't help but grin.

After all, he couldn't just tell Yan Lili that he had a system and that he had to go around finding protagonists to complete missions.

However, he suddenly remembered something.

It seems that since I met Yan Lili last night, I haven't triggered any corresponding tasks.

Oh, Yan Lili seems to be a villain?

That's fine.

Chapter 12 Attack

"Help!"

Just as Luo Chuan was pondering where to go next, a hurried and shrill cry for help suddenly came from the distant street.

Luo Chuan looked up at the sound and saw a young man carrying a thick stack of books running frantically toward him, his expression full of terror.

As the young man appeared, the stable ground suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Three terrifying and ferocious monster figures appeared behind the young man, following him at a leisurely pace.

One of the monsters was entirely blue, its body bloated and twisted; it was the Evil Ginseng Beast that Luo Chuan had just defeated the previous night.

Of the remaining two monsters, one was covered in green thorns and wielded a spiked mace.

The other monster had a terrifying fish head with a long, thin, slippery tongue hanging from its mouth, and two giant pincers that swung around with every step it took.

"Tsk, what bad luck."

Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the frantically fleeing, disheveled figure and the three monsters relentlessly pursuing them. He instantly recognized their origins.

The young man who was fleeing in a sorry state was Wu Qidong, the cousin of Feng Yingxia and a descendant of Muying Village in the Five Elements Village.

The three monsters were the mutant beasts under Shadow Lord's command: the Evil Ginseng Beast, the Thornwood Beast, and the Grasshopper Beast.

"Wasn't that monster eliminated last night?"

At the same time, Yan Lili, who was beside Luo Chuan, also noticed the movement of the three mutant beasts.

Her gaze fell on the evil ginseng beast she had seen last night, and she asked with some surprise.

"The true core of these mutant beasts is the magic crystal within their bodies."

Luo Chuan quickly and simply explained the origins of these mutant beasts to her.

"These mutant beasts, once destroyed, will turn into demonic scrolls. Only the Light and Shadow Armor can seal these scrolls and turn them back into demonic shadow stones."

Although I destroyed it last night, I couldn't seal the Demonic Scroll. It seems the Scroll was retrieved by the Shadow Realm and revived.

As they were talking, Wu Qidong had already run up to the two of them.

"Help! There's a monster!"

Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, Wu Qidong ran down the street in a disheveled state, grabbing Luo Chuan's arm and shouting,

At the same time, the three mutant beasts behind him caught up. The grasshopper beast suddenly shot out its long tongue towards Wu Qidong's back, and the evil ginseng beast also spat out a mouthful of green corrosive venom.

"Get out of the way."

Luo Chuan pulled Wu Qidong behind him and pushed him forward with his right hand.

The energy within his body instantly coalesced into an invisible energy shield, blocking the grasshopper beast's protruding tongue.

"You two find a place to hide first."

Luo Chuan looked at Wu Qidong and Yan Lili, who were trembling behind him, and then focused his gaze on the three mutant beasts in front of him.

"Now that I've taken care of the three of you, my trip today wasn't a complete waste."

With a flick of his finger, several beams of azure energy shot out instantly from his fingertip.

boom!

The energy beams struck the three mutant beasts. The Evil Ginseng Beast, seemingly having just been resurrected, had significantly weaker defenses compared to the previous night.

The energy beam struck the Evil Ginseng Beast, instantly sparking bursts of explosive sparks. Its bloated blue body writhed violently, emitting painful roars.

But for the Thornwood Beast and the Grasshopper Beast, it seemed to have little effect.

One of these two mutant beasts mutated from a corrupted thorny tree, its body covered in hard thorns.

One of them was modified from a polluted and mutated grasshopper, and it has a thick shell that greatly enhances its defense.

In the shadows not far away, the ugly general looked at the suddenly appearing Luo Chuan, his face instantly turning cold.

His original target was Wu Qidong, a descendant of Muying Village, but unexpectedly, he ran into Luo Chuan again.

"It's that damn guy again!"

Seemingly recalling his experience last night, although his hand had been healed by the technology of the Shadow Realm,

But upon seeing Luo Chuan, Chou Jiang noticed that his right hand was starting to ache again.

"You can handle one evil beast, but if three of them come at you together, I don't believe you'll still be a match for them."

The ugly general muttered viciously to himself, a fierce expression on his face.

After all, the Thornwood Beast and Grasshopper Beast newly created by Shadow Lord were not low-level mutant beasts like the Evil Ginseng Beast.

These two mutant beasts have not only improved their combat power, but also gained some intelligence that the evil ginseng beasts do not have, and can cooperate with each other in some simple ways.

Even against those damned armored figures of light and shadow, Ugly General believed that a single armored figure wouldn't stand a chance against the combined attack of three alien beasts.

Thinking of this, a smug sneer appeared on the ugly general's face, and he began to plan how to retaliate later.

laugh!

Accompanied by a foul, fishy gust of wind, the grasshopper beast's long tongue, like a steel whip, pierced straight towards Luo Chuan.

"Energy Shield!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Chuan raised an energy shield in front of him.

The grasshopper's tongue slammed into the shield, the powerful force instantly causing ripples of energy to spread across it.

boom!

At the same time, the Thornwood Beast had already rushed in front of Luo Chuan, its spiked mace whistling down.

boom!

With a deafening roar, even though Luo Chuan used his energy shield to defend and cushion the impact, the immense force still forced him to retreat repeatedly.

"No, this can't go on."

Luo Chuan shook his slightly numb wrist and quickly scanned the three alien beasts surrounding him.

Although he didn't know much about military strategy, he did know that the most important thing in a three-on-one situation was to break up the opponent.

"It's a pity we don't have any weapons."

Luo Chuan clenched his fist, then turned his gaze to the somewhat sluggish Evil Ginseng Beast.

A thought flashed through my mind, and I instantly had an idea.

call!

The thorny wood beast beside it roared as the hammer struck.

With the ugly general's eyes brimming with excitement, he once again swung his spiked club, bringing it down with a piercing whooshing sound.

However, the scene that Chou Jiang had envisioned—Luo Chuan being severely injured by a single blow—did not occur. In fact, the instant the spiked club touched Luo Chuan,

His body was like highly malleable clay, stretching and extending along the shaft of the club, firmly wrapped around the spiked club.
