Master Changsheng

Chapter 44, Episode 043: Fireball Plows the Ground [Happy New Year!]

Public beta countdown: 9998 years.

Ankai leaves the mage tower!

The vanished lake has reappeared, and the mage tower, hidden in the water, emits a dark light…

...

"Reed, do you think Lord Hanks will come to our rescue?"

"Ha! Forget it! Lord Hanks is wanted by the Kingdom of Shak and is hiding in Chaos City, too afraid to come out!"

"Sigh...why did Lord Hanks have to provoke the Kingdom of Shak?"

"How would I know? But I can confirm one thing: the four of us are about to be eaten by those two damned orcs!"

"Damn it! It's all that bitch's fault from the Principality of Bucklin! Why did she have to hide in Chaos City of all places!"

"Life is unpredictable! I, Reed, have lived a life of glory, and now I'm reduced to orcish excrement!"

"Ugh!"

"well!!"

"well!!!"

By the lake, Reed and his three warriors, a group of four, were tied to four branches about the width of a person.

The branches, stuck in the desert by the lake, looked like skewers for roasting meat.

Not far away, two burly, greenish-blue orcs, each over three meters tall and covered in lumps of flesh, were scrubbing a large pot that reeked of blood.

While washing the pot, the two orcs seemed to be in a good mood, humming cheerful orc tunes in their hoarse voices.

Two upward-curving fangs swayed back and forth as he hummed a song…

Before long, the two orcs carried together a large iron pot filled with lake water, big enough to easily hold all four of them, and brought it to Reed and his companions.

Then the two orcs put down their iron pots, each picked up a "skewer," and went to the lakeside, roughly scrubbing the "skewers"...

"Damn, these two orcs are actually quite clean; they even know to wash themselves before eating!"

Reed cursed, helplessly watching his two companions being held and swung around in the orc's arms...

Revolt?

Reed and his group had done it, and the result was that the orcs, who were identified as [Second Tier Triple] by the two detectors, knocked them out of their ability to resist with just one punch.

If they could have foreseen this moment, they would never have chosen to leave Chaos City just because the bounty had been doubled!

They never expected that the damned Crown Prince Bucklin, after suffering a setback in Chaos City, would actually place the orc army in the desert!

The purpose is to seal off Chaos City!

At this moment, Reed's resentment towards Prince Buklin surpassed that of the orc who was about to devour him.

"Huh? Are you experiencing some new type of physical therapy?"

"Did that old geezer Hanks pass this down to you?"

...

In despair, Reed turned his head to look as if he couldn't believe it.

On the shore of the lake, Ankai, like a god in Reed's eyes, slowly walked towards them, carrying a large iron rod.

A playful smile played on his lips.

Seeing this, Reed didn't hesitate and immediately shouted, "Master! Help me!"

Her voice was stern and harsh, as if she were afraid that An Kai would turn around and leave.

By the lake, the two orcs stopped rinsing the "skewers".

They replanted the branches by the lake.

They exchanged a glance, and one of the orcs pulled a detector from his robes…

[Tier 1, Level 1]

The two orcs laughed…

Reed laughed too…

This scene felt strangely familiar to him…

"I never expected food to be delivered to my door!"

"With its delicate skin and tender flesh, it must taste delicious!"

"Hey kid! That iron rod of yours is pretty good; it can help us grind the meat later."

"Hahaha, why waste words with him? I've decided, I'm going to eat him first!"

...

The two orcs had hoarse voices, but they were quite loud.

Standing fifty meters away from them, An Kai could hear everything clearly.

Hearing the arrogant tone of the two alien races, An Kai took a deep breath.

His hands were itching to move; six months of seclusion had almost driven him crazy!

I glanced at the detector in my hand…

[Second-order triple]

It's confirmed, this is exactly what I need for practice!

He lightly raised the [Staff of Brute Force] and smiled at the two orcs…

Goodbye!

A massive [Fireball] suddenly appeared!

Ankai didn't give them any time to react!

The fireball, about three meters in diameter and radiating intense heat, hurtled towards the two orcs!

Before they could react, one after another, fireballs rained down upon them!

"run!"

Reed roared!

On the shore of the lake, two warriors, tied to branches, used all their strength, combined with the aftershock of the fireball spell, to crash into the lake!

On the shore, the two orcs, faced with the sudden [Fireball] spell, could only make one defensive move!

Then a huge roar was heard!

Fireball! Descend!

In an instant, the ground shook!

A crater with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of more than two meters has appeared!

The two orcs lay dying in the deep pit!

Before their eyes, one fireball after another was about to rain down!

As they faced death, the two orcs had only one last thought left…

"The despicable humans actually faked our probes and deceived us!"

boom!

boom!!

The continuous roaring sounds made the place look like it had been bombarded by artillery fire!

Ankai's fierce attack lasted for a minute!

Only then can the pent-up frustration in my heart, caused by seclusion, be completely released!

As expected of a "superior" "Strength Staff," its weight amplifies the power of the "Fireball" spell!

It used to take about two pills to render a [Second Tier 3] orc defenseless, but now only one is needed!

As for the extra 46 [Fireballs], Ankai gave them those…

Reed's feelings at that moment were indescribable...

He looked down at the lake at his feet, feeling as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

Ankai was like a powerful artillery platform, completely plundering the area.

Reed was 20 meters from the lake, and now, due to the change in terrain, lake water was surging up beneath his feet…

As for those two orcs…

Not even a scrap was left!

If anyone ever tells him again that An Kai is a "First-Tier, First-Level" cultivator, he'll tear their mouth open!

Even if that person is Hanks!

He...he might also retort!

Is this something a first-order, first-level monster could do?!

Ankai put away the [Brute Force Staff], and the Frost spell transformed into a longsword.

Aiming at Reed, he swung out suddenly.

That's just in time to cut the ropes binding Reed.

boom!

Reed crashed to the ground.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, he suddenly remembered the two fellow soldiers who had crashed into the lake a minute earlier.

He didn't have time to untie the other soldier's rope before plunging headfirst into the lake, which had become more than ten meters deeper...

...

Five minutes later.

Lakeside.

An Kai lay on his back in the desert, legs crossed.

Not far away, Reed and his three companions lay sprawled on the lakeshore, panting heavily.

He glanced in An Kai's direction every now and then, his eyes filled with awe and fear...

After a while.

"You've rested enough? If you've rested enough, then bring it here."

Reed, who was lying on the shore, heard Ankai's words and, without thinking, quickly took off his storage ring and ran towards Ankai...

I was afraid that if I was too late, I would be hit by Ankai's insane instant-cast spell!

"Sir, all four of us are in here!"

Looking at Reed, whose face was filled with a fawning expression, Ankai chuckled: "You're on the right track."

Happy New Year, everyone!

Wishing you all the best! And happiness to your families!
