Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

To use a concrete analogy, it's like saying that in order to destroy a machine, instead of blowing it up or dismantling it, you redesign it so that you can better use rubber bands to hold the gears.

Li Ang shook his head, unable to organize his thoughts.

Today's gain is the slow speed technique and a further understanding of the spiritual structure of Fukat.

Leon walked out of the cave, and Mott immediately asked, "Can you control him?"

"Tomorrow will do."

"That's fine."

Since he didn't go to make equipment this morning and there was still a lot of time left, Leon didn't wait for Zoe and the others, but went to the city cluster.

He looked for the mark Penny had told him about in front of a row of shops - three scratches inside a circle running from the upper right to the lower left.

Finding a sign at the door of a tavern, he pushed the door open, walked in, and faced all kinds of stares. He found the bartender and said, "Claws, airships, and blood."

The bartender pointed to the stairs leading down next to the bar. A man standing at the stairs waved and led Leon down the stairs, opened a wooden door, and entered the dim corridor.

He came to an area that seemed to be located between two rows of buildings. There was a blackout layer made of canvas and wooden boards above to hide it from the public.

The man led him through the alley, opened the door, walked into a building, and entered a courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, he saw familiar faces.

Andasu was wearing a mask and sitting on the bench in the middle, with the Sandstorm Tiger-Lion sisters beside her. There were not many people around her, perhaps the core members of their gang, and there were even a few beast-eared people similar to Andasu.

Andasu seemed to be looking a little depressed, with her head lowered, which was very different from the excited gang members next to her.

As soon as Li Ang entered the room, he was met with all sorts of meaningful glances. The Sandstorm Lioness quickly said, "This is the one I was talking about."

Someone in the gang immediately asked, "Is he willing to help us take down King Platinum?"

Penny waved to Leon and signaled the gang members to make way and let him come to the front.

"Let me introduce this to you all. This is a weapons master who can create very high-quality equipment and has been a great help."

Penny probably didn't explicitly mention what Andasu had experienced before. She mentioned that Leon had helped a lot, but deliberately didn't say what it was specifically.

"That's great! With this master, An will have excellent equipment to help him, making assassinations more secure."

Some of the gang members knew Li Ang and knew that he had stood up for A Lulu that night. They didn't say anything, but they didn't object at all either.

In the underworlds of various places, it is not uncommon for people to have conflicts at first but later become partners or even good brothers. Anyway, there is no bloody grudge, so they don't care at all.

"You were just discussing how to deal with King Platinum. It seems I came at the right time," said Leon.

"Right," said Bonnie, the Sandstorm Tigress. "Let's go to the Flowing Silver Arena first, win the championship, and get the Running Wolf back."

The older of the strong sisters clenched her fists until they made a crackling sound.

Penny said, "We are discussing the teams for the competition. The two of us sisters, plus two more sisters, plus Ann, will make it exactly five people."

The maximum number of team members in the Flowing Silver Arena is five. They can carry equipment, but cannot use summoned beasts or energy sources. Although most contestants cannot obtain any good summoned beasts, energy sources are even more difficult to afford.

However, for those like Zoe and Dorothy who possessed their own energy source, the competition couldn't restrict them; it was all down to their abilities. A place like the Glittering Fields couldn't take any measures against those rare individuals who possessed natural energy sources.

The gang of Andasu and the Lion-Tiger sisters is called the Sand Beast Gang, and many people's code names are beasts.

But apart from these three, there are no others who have reached the extraordinary realm of strength.

"When we get the boat back, Ann wins the race, and King Platinum presents the award, that's the only time we can approach him armed!" Penny said, "With Ann's abilities, success won't be difficult."

Li Ang looked at the girl with animal ears: "Have you made up your mind?"

Andasu raised her drooping eyes. There were slight dark circles around her eye sockets, and it was obvious that she had not rested at all.

"As long as we succeed, the debts of many of us can be written off!" a gang member said expectantly.

"Our clan's long-standing blood feud has been avenged, the heavy debt has been removed, and the princess can be liberated." said the Beast-Eared Clan, who looked like a member of the Yunxiang Clan.

Andasu frowned, hesitated for a long time, and whispered: "If I fail..."

"No way!" one gang member said firmly, "You're the 'Platinum Ace'! You can fight your way through so many speedrunners, so taking down a bloated Platinum King is no problem at all!"

Li Ang had watched the Platinum Race when he came here before, and that was definitely not a simple race.

Collisions and overtaking are commonplace, and even direct weapon fire and boarding are used in close combat, all in an effort to eliminate the opponent and obtain the prize for winning the competition.

Andasu has won four championships. If she hadn't cheated, she would definitely not be afraid of fighting.

Judging from her fighting spirit when she resisted Fukat, her strength is more than enough, but... that's not the problem.

People around him were talking non-stop, but Li Ang smelled a faint strange fragrance.

Andasu was trembling slightly, and the tail behind him was twitching slightly.

"Let's not talk about this for now—"

Li Ang was just about to let the people around him take a break when suddenly a commotion was heard from outside the courtyard.

A gang member came running over to report that someone was causing trouble.

The lion and tiger sisters swung their strong arms and walked towards the other side of the door where Leon entered. They pushed open the door and found that the room was an underground fighting ring.

Not only do these two sisters fight in competitions, their Sand Beast Gang also holds competitions of their own.

The people causing trouble at the moment were a large group of men with scars on their faces and tough looks. Leon saw that the armbands they wore had a yellow skull and two scimitars on them.

These guys are members of the Sand Corps.

The leader was considered unusual in the Flashing Fields.

【Name: Kafei】

[Race: Human]

[Occupation: Swordsman, Level 4]

[Summoned Beast: Wyvern, Level 2]

Energy Source: None

[Equipment: Desert Sword, tier 3. Sand Rhino Leather Gauntlets, tier 3. Sand Rhino Leather Boots, tier 3.]

[Secret Skill: Professional Secret Skill—High-Speed Tearing]

[Skills: Swordsman [Sword Slash, Swift Sword Technique], Weapon [Hot Sand Sword]]

"Hey, where's your leader, the one from the Beast Fragrance Tribe?"

This guy called Kafi seemed to be a captain. He was holding a bloody scimitar. A member of the Sand Beast Gang next to him was slashed and was sitting on the ground. Someone was bandaging him.

The gang members said to Penny, "This man forced his way into the ring with a weapon."

"You're looking for death, right?"

Bonnie roared and was about to crash into it like a chariot.

"and many more."

Andasu stopped her and said to Kafei, "You come to me for dirty things."

"I heard she's a beautiful lady. I'd like to meet her. My name is Kafei, please remember me."

After Kafei finished speaking, the members behind him laughed strangely.

"Hey, what's the point of wearing a mask?"

"This kind of place only means it's there when you wear it, and it's only interesting when it gets dirty."

Such a standard provocation was obviously deliberate.

Their words caused some agitation among the gang members behind Andasu.

Li Ang heard from their whispered conversation that they knew about this matter, but Andasu always showed himself to the outside world as a young man named "An". The Shahai Group was a group of foreign air pirates, so how would they know Andasu's identity?

"King Platinum asked you to come." Andasu said.

Kafei kept smiling and said nothing, but he was very determined, that is, the matter was settled.

"It's that bastard!" Bonnie cursed.

Penny frowned and said, "In the past, it took a long time for people to come and cause trouble. Ann just went to pay the debt the night before yesterday, and now someone is coming... Is he going to keep coming this time?"

"No need to say anything, just follow me up."

Andasu nimbly and gracefully climbed onto the stage and waved to Kafei: "Let's solve the problem here."

Kafei kept the same smile on his face as he jumped onto the ring and pointed his scimitar at the girl.

Seeing that he had no intention of laying down his weapon, Andasu also drew out the hidden poison blade from her waist and made a starting move.

The two sides confronted each other, and just when the situation was about to get out of hand, Kafei suddenly snapped his fingers.

All the members of the Shahai Group in the audience drew their swords and slashed at the people around them. Even though many of the gang members were on guard, they were still hit by the blades, and blood splattered everywhere.

The members of the Sand Beast Gang either took out their weapons or grabbed the benches or wine glasses next to them and threw them on the heads of the Sand Relics Group members. The whole place was in chaos, but it was obvious that the armed Sand Relics Group had the upper hand, and gang members screamed from time to time.

"What are you doing!" Andasu said in shock and anger.

Kafei laughed: "King Platinum asked me to deliver a message."

He cleared his throat and said, "Everything is about to change. You don't have much time to think about it. If you can't defeat a team from the Sand Relic Group, you will be their prize. Your original pride and reserve will only serve to amusement them."

After Kafei finished speaking, he laughed so hard that he coughed twice.

"Oh my, I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered something so interesting and exciting."

Andasu bit her lips tightly, and a strange fragrance emanated from her body.

"Hey, Sand Corps."

A voice echoed through the commotion. It wasn't loud, and it didn't contain any specific taunts. The members of the Sand Corps initially didn't want to respond, but suddenly, with a sense of panic, they felt they should listen to this person.

They turned their eyes and found that the person who spoke was wearing an ugly black helmet with a dark golden eye pattern on it. He looked very strange to suddenly appear in this room.

But I always felt that I shouldn't disobey him.

Leon was wearing the Helmet of Divine Eyes. He had used a method similar to the spreading of magic power when using the All Spirits Riot to exert spiritual drive on these people.

"You are a bunch of worthless trash. When I give the signal, commit suicide willingly."

"Yes, that's right."

Except for Kafei, the twenty or so members of the Sand Corps in the room all picked up their weapons and put them to their necks.

Li Ang raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

With a swish sound, more than 20 people exerted force together and beheaded themselves.

More than twenty fountains of blood spurted onto the ceiling. The members of the Sand Beast Gang and the spectators who were originally trapped in the house were stunned by the blood rain and didn't know what to do.

The wind wall around Li Ang blocked the spilled blood. He took off his helmet, smiled at Andasu who was staring at him in a daze, and raised his hand.

"It's your turn to fight, please."

106. Machinist

The smile that had always been on Kafei's face had disappeared.

Before he could come to his senses, Andasu exerted force on her feet and rushed forward like a phantom.

Before she arrived, the fragrant wind had already arrived. Kafei knew she was coming, but her speed was so fast that he was unsure how to dodge, so he simply raised his knife and danced with it, stirring up a gust of hot wind.

This desert sword is only a level 3 piece of equipment, but it is of excellent quality, and its spirituality can even cause the blade to become hot due to the influence of magic.

Kafi, a knife wielder who has reached level 4, can condense heat on the blade, making it even hotter, and can be felt from a distance.

Such a high-speed slash could easily tear through the flesh of an ordinary person just by glancing at them, but when he swung defensively, it intertwined into a scorching line of defense.

Andasu circled around the leader of the Sand Relic Team but couldn't find a good opportunity to stab.

Kafei's nervous expression relaxed a little, but two round objects rolled over on the ground.

They were two metal balls with irregular surfaces. Kafei was unsure of the situation, but he didn't intend to let them get close, so he took a few steps back.

The two little balls seemed to have eyes and kept following him.

"Damn it!"

Kafei kicked, trying to kick it away.

But just before his toes touched the ball, they exploded together, unfolding two nets that immediately covered half of his body.

The two nets were not very big and were pulled apart by some steel nails. When they exploded, the steel nails flew everywhere and some of them were nailed to the ring, ensuring that Kafi was controlled by the net.

"You think you can catch me with this kind of thing?!"
