With Baymax around, Illya really has nothing to worry about. Could these little monsters be stronger than Goetia, who burned down human history?

Obviously not, so what is she worried about?

Poor Mr. Gai, after his death he became a unit of combat power calculation in Illya's mind.

When these hot sand human-faced beasts appeared, they did not immediately attack Grandpa Mo Yi and others who were obviously enemies. Instead, they surrounded the place tightly and stared at everyone, as if no one was thinking about what they were thinking.

Soon, La Er's voice rang out in everyone's ears, roughly meaning that if they wanted to leave here, there were only two ways -

One is to eliminate all the hot sand beasts here; the first way is for each person to defeat a hot sand beast alone.

The reason why La Er set it up this way was naturally to prevent those weaklings from coming in front of him, which would be an insult to him.

However, if one can defeat a hot sand beast alone, then he is qualified to be defeated by him personally.

In a sense, La Er's approach is in line with Mo Yi's real purpose, which is to train Theresa and the others.

But it is really too much to kill a Hot Sand Beast, which is considered a small BOSS in any dungeon, all at once for apprentice Valkyries like Kiana and Raiden Mei who have little combat experience.

If he gets seriously injured or something, that would not be the result that Grandpa Mo Yi wants.

Therefore, Grandpa Mo Yi was a little hesitant at the moment. Should he give everyone a chance to test themselves, and then rescue them in time when someone can't bear it, or should he take action directly and kill these hot sand beasts?

"I'll go first—"

When Grandpa Mo Yi was about to ask for everyone's opinions and whether they had the confidence to deal with the hot sand beast alone, Theresa spoke up rarely.

For some reason, Theresa's style of painting at this moment changed from cute to passionate.

"Let me test the various capabilities of these hot sand beasts. You guys gather intelligence in the back."

Grandpa Mo Yi: "Theresa?"

"I know what you're thinking—"

Theresa, in a rare display of demeanor that commanded the admiration and trust of younger generations like Kiana, said firmly:

"As Cecilia said before, you need to deal with the toughest guys in the back. You can't use up too much energy in the front."

"This is just the best strategy right now—"

Grandpa Mo Yi: “…”

Oh my god, this master was actually taught a lesson by Theresa, the mascot of the team?

But Theresa is also so cute when she is serious, so sweet!

"Aunt, are you really okay?"

Although she knew that Theresa was a so-called S-class Valkyrie, Kiana still didn't quite believe that Theresa, who looked like an elementary school student, was really as strong as her mother.

In reality, Theresa wasn't as strong as Cecilia. Although she was considered an S-rank Valkyrie, that was largely due to her status as Lord Lutuo's beloved granddaughter and her forty-plus years of experience. Even after reaching S-rank, Theresa didn't have any exceptional combat experience.

Cecilia, who is also an S-class Valkyrie, had just given birth to Kiana. She was able to hold back Sirin at her peak strength and force a 50-50 tie for a while. However, Theresa later faced Luhuana, whose strength was not as good as Sirin at her peak strength, and was crushed by the opponent.

I can only say that the gap in strength is a bit big.

Of course, no matter how low Theresa's combat power is among the S-class Valkyries, it is still much stronger than a novice Valkyrie like Kiana who has no professional training.

Hearing Kiana calling her aunt again, Theresa's heart was almost calm. She rolled her eyes speechlessly and complained:

"You are the weakest here, and you still have the nerve to question me?"

"Who do you think I was fighting for? I was the first one to go out and gather intelligence for you!"

Kiana: “…”

It hurts, Lao Sha.

Kiana looked at her friends around her with some dissatisfaction, trying to find someone weaker than her. She soon discovered that they all seemed to be stronger than her.

Even Illya, Xiao Hei and Abby, who were still elementary school students, showed extraordinary strength when fighting the Scorpion King.

Illya transformed into the Star Girl, and her firepower was countless times stronger than her own double guns. Others were bombarding, while she was shooting. There was no need to compare at all.

Xiao Hei was the one who best matched Kiana's personality, and the two quickly became familiar with each other. Kiana naturally knew that the opponent's ability to create weapons with various magical effects out of the void, as well as his rich and superb melee ability, were not comparable to her own gun fighting skills.

As for the taciturn Abigail who looks easy to bully, although no special abilities were seen on her, she was the one who solved the Scorpion Sea crisis in an unknown way.

When Kiana looked at the other person, she always felt uneasy in her heart, as if there was something very, very scary hidden behind the other person.

As for Mei Raiden, it certainly cannot be used as a standard to measure her own combat effectiveness.

Yae Sakura, Kiana once again recalled the painful memories of being dominated by the other party during kendo training.

Well, there is only one answer, and that is you——

"How can I be the weakest? It's obviously Bronya!"

Bronya: Meow meow meow?

I'm Superalloy Cloth Wolf Fang. Before I joined Anti-Entropy and was taken to an orphanage by Cocolia, I was a mercenary. I've killed more people than you, Kiana.

A mere weak Paramecium actually dares to say that it is stronger than others. Does it have any idea at all?

"Bronya's heavily armored bunny can fight ten idiots like Kiana at once!"

Ignoring the noisy Kiana, Theresa, under the protection of holy light, changed into the Valkyrie armor "Ode to Divine Grace" made by Grandpa Mo Yi and walked in front of a hot sand beast.

Seeing Theresa step forward independently, all the other Hot Sand Beasts except the one closest to Theresa sank into the sand, leaving the battlefield to Theresa and Hot Sand Beast No. 1.

"With your height and build, according to human standards, you should still be in the early childhood stage—"

Hot Sand Beast No. 1, with a malicious smile on its face, lowered its head and stared at Theresa, who was also staring at it, and growled in a hoarse voice:

"You're such a pitiful creature! Did your companions intend to send you out to die so we can be careless later? What a foolish choice! We, the Steamsand Beastmen, are creatures of wisdom. We prefer to solve problems with wisdom rather than force. For example, we devour humans who can't answer our questions."

At this point, a drop of orange-yellow saliva leaked from the open mouth of the Hot Sand Beast. Seeing this, Theresa quickly took a step back to avoid being stained by this disgusting unknown liquid.

"hiss--"

The saliva fell on the sand and actually melted it, proving that Theresa's retreat was correct.

"However, compared to the rough meat of adults, I prefer infants. Not only is their meat tender, but the sound of them screaming in my mouth is also particularly pleasant."

"I seem to imagine how pleasant your screams will sound."

"I hope you can hold on a little longer. This is fun I haven't experienced in a long time..."

"Stop making so much noise, you mutant lion spirit—"

Theresa could no longer bear the chatter of Hot Sand Beast No. 1 and complained:

"Villains die because they talk too much. A chatterbox like you, why don't you just leave the stage obediently? You have to keep talking, afraid that others don't know you're just a supporting role. Don't you know that villains die because they talk too much?!"

Hot Sand Beast: "..."

The Hot Sand Beast, with an embarrassed look on his face, though his expression was the same in everyone's eyes and could not be seen, was still hideously ugly. He said seriously:

"Since the tender little fellow wants to die early, then I will grant your wish—"

Seeing that the Hot Sand Beast was about to start nagging and bragging again, Theresa no longer had the patience to stand with it. She grabbed Judas from behind with her right hand and used a quick and decisive move, the well-honed "Judas Slash" to strike at Hot Sand Beast No. 1.

"The world's most adorable punch!"

The hot sand beast, who was still talking, certainly couldn't react in time, and was knocked away by Theresa's heavy hammer. He flew more than ten meters before landing, and his life or death was unknown for a moment.

“Oh no—”

Looking at the hot sand beast that she had knocked away, Theresa scratched her head awkwardly, thinking:

"I couldn't help myself and hit him hard. Did he die immediately?"

"I haven't gathered any useful intelligence yet."

"Roar--"

The smoke from the Hot Sand Beast's fall dissipated, and an unpleasant roar was heard:

"Dwarf, you've succeeded in irritating me. I won't let you die easily later!"

Then, the hot sand beast shot towards Theresa from a distance, as fast as an arrow.

"Very fast—"

Although the Hot Sand Beast's burst speed is fast, its own speed is not too slow. With the bonus of the Divine Hymn created by Grandpa Mo Yi, Theresa can still easily avoid the opponent's attack.

But Theresa's purpose was to gather intelligence, and now was a good opportunity to feel the strength of the opponent's attack.

"Holy Light Shield——"

Under the protection of Judas in front, holy light emanated from Judas' body, forming an eggshell-shaped light shield.

"Bam—"

Under the impact of the Hot Sand Beast, Theresa was still knocked away, but because of her tight defense, she did not suffer any injuries and was just knocked away.

Instead, it was the Hot Sand Beast that, after colliding with the light shield, had its skin burned by the light attribute Honkai energy emitted by the light shield.

"Damn guy—"

After realizing that a close-range attack might be counterattacked by the light emitted by the opponent, the Hot Sand Beast did not choose to chase and attack continuously, but instead spat a large ball of orange-yellow saliva at the place where Theresa was about to land.

"Melt down, you damned little dwarf!"

"Zizi-"

The place where Theresa landed made a sizzling sound as the digestive fluid dissolved her.

"Aunt——"

When Kiana saw Theresa being knocked away, she wanted to rush over to help, but was stopped by Cecilia, who told her to trust Theresa and that she would have no problem dealing with an opponent of this level.

But after seeing the biochemical attack of the Hot Sand Beast, Kiana couldn't help but scream out.

"My period is so small, it must be unmeltable."

"What a noise! ​​The dwarf in front, the dwarf behind—"

Theresa, bathed in a circular light, walked out slowly and said angrily:

"You big, silly guy, you think you're so great just because you look good!"

"cut--"

The Hot Sand Beast saw Theresa coming out unharmed, especially the bald head that even protected its digestive juices. It was so disgusting, like a poisonous hedgehog that would only get stung if it hit her.

"I just called you a shorty, so what? Come and hit me if you dare!"

The Hot Sand Beast tried to provoke Theresa through words, causing her to lose her mind and reveal her flaws.

"Judas unfolded—"

Theresa, whose face turned pale with anger, stuck Judas into the ground. Judas instantly transformed into a Judas launcher, and countless light spears shot into the sky.

"Go to hell, you big idiot!"

The spears of light shot into the sky, when there were enough of them, turned into a rain of light and shot towards the hot sand beasts on the ground in such a quantity that they were absolutely impossible to dodge.

"The attack came from the sky—"

The Hot Sand Beast was right. In terms of personal intelligence, they were no worse than humans, and were even smarter than most humans. At this moment, they quickly saw through Theresa's "Judas Launcher" attack mode.

"Boom——"

While countless light spears bombarded the Hot Sand Beast, the Hot Sand Beast controlled the sand on the ground and quickly formed a sand shield to block the bombardment of the light spears.

After seeing the way the Hot Sand Beast resisted, Theresa maintained Judas's output power, continuously shooting light spears from a distance to bombard the opponent. This lasted for a full minute before she calmed down.

"Dead?"

Because of the haze caused by the explosion of the light spear, the situation of the place where the big hole was bombed out could not be seen. However, Theresa guessed that the sand alone could not withstand the deadly bombardment of the light rain. Logically, the opponent should have been blown to pieces.

"Ok?"

After getting Judas back and preparing to leave, Theresa found that she could not move her feet. She looked down and saw that the sand on the ground had turned into quicksand at some point. Her ankles were already sunk in the quicksand. No matter how much strength she had, she could not pull her feet out of the quicksand.

Theresa, with nowhere to turn to, could only watch herself sinking little by little.

"It's useless. Quicksand is the most deadly trap in the desert—"

At this moment, three meters in front of Theresa, a hot sand beast emerged from the sand, staring at Theresa with vigilant eyes, and said:

"You've been captured by me, who has the power to manipulate sand. Even if you have the power to move mountains and seas, there's absolutely no way you can escape. This is a death curse from the desert."

Although the Hot Sand Beast spoke with confidence, it did not dare to approach Theresa's vigilant look, which showed that it was still very scared. The light spear that just swept the ground almost killed it. Fortunately, it dived underground in time and successfully avoided being hit head-on.
