In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

This is troublesome.

If this is not handled properly, it will become a diplomatic issue.

Thinking of this, Xingxiong quickened his pace.

As she moved, the blood in the air became more and more obvious.

"Found it! It's just around the corner!"

Xingxiong gritted his teeth and rushed forward decisively.

And just as she turned the corner, the suppressed sound in her throat suddenly burst out!

"You guys!"

Before she could finish her words, she paused.

She stared blankly at the dead end in front of her. The sound stopped instantly like a stuck tape.

Chapter 25: Restless Maria

In the alley, Maria grabbed a man who tried to attack her and beat him mercilessly.

It was a real beating.

She grabbed the man's collar like a chicken and punched him in the face.

There was no mercy on his cold face, and his eyes were so sharp that it seemed as if he only wanted to fight.

Sure enough, this method is more suitable for her than finding a normal job.

Since these people want to attack me... then it's reasonable for me to fight back, right?

Since they took the initiative to attack me, it would be okay for me to extort some compensation from them, right?

Thinking of this, Maria punched the man in front of her in the face again without mercy.

Only after confirming that the other person was completely unconscious did she breathe a sigh of relief.

This small encounter did not cost her much energy. What consumed her most was actually thinking about how to prevent these people from making too much noise.

After all, if these people started shouting, I wouldn't be able to stay for too long, and I wouldn't have time to loot after defeating them.

But fortunately, everything went according to her plan.

Just as she was about to start looting, a stern female voice came from behind her.

"You guys!"

"Ok?"

Maria turned her head and looked.

Just behind her, a woman with green hair, slightly taller than her, was also staring blankly.

This green woman looks very heroic.

Although the tall man was a little hunched, he was not hunchbacked. His loose posture perfectly protected his vital parts. The powerful shout just now also made Maria realize that this guy had a good lung capacity... This was enough to prove the superior physical fitness of the other party.

I just don’t know what the other party is doing here at this time?

And what she just shouted...

Is she a companion to these guys?

Thinking of this, Maria's eyes became more serious.

In an instant, she stepped closer, stared at the woman in front of her, and decisively threw a punch.

The speed is so fast that the opponent has no time to react!

"Even if they're enemies or not... knocking them out first is the right thing to do!"

This instant attack also stimulated Xingxiong's fighting instinct.

Her eyes widened instantly and her heart started beating wildly!

So fast!

"Ok!"

Giving up thinking, Xingxiong completely handed the battle over to his own body!

Almost at the same time, Maria's fist fell, and Xingxiong's defense was also ready!

With a sharp explosion, her body instantly retreated several meters.

Maria stood there with a vigilant look in her eyes.

"blocked?"

Maria was a little surprised when she saw that the other person's body was not seriously injured.

She knew that her body was definitely not as good as before and could not directly fight against the Outer Gods.

But... the woman in front of him blocked his fist with her body and was not hurt at all?

Is it the blessing brought by beast transformation?

Maria was surprised.

But opposite her, Xingxiong could only feel cold sweat pouring down his face.

She stared blankly at the stinging pain in her arm, her muscles twitching uncontrollably. The spot where Maria had hit her was also slightly red and hot, giving the illusion of being burned...

"Hey, hey...are you really human?"

With a subtle expression, Xingxiong looked at the woman in front of him, and the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.

She just thought that Maria had some teammates hiding in the dark. Only in this way could she explain how Maria could knock out so many people in just a dozen seconds without making any sound.

But the punch just now made her understand that this strange woman in front of her...

Very strong!

Is it Originium technique? Or is it just pure physical technique?

Xingxiong didn't notice.

She never felt that she was stronger than ordinary people, but... she had some experience with strength.

But even she was unable to prepare at all when facing the opponent's attack!

It can be said that if there is a head-on confrontation, she has no chance of defeating the opponent!

This left her stunned for a while.

This little bit of time also gave Maria enough time to prepare.

She looked cold and took another step forward in an instant!

Another strike, another one to strike!

But at this time, Xingxiong behaved out of character.

She stopped defending herself and instead raised her hands, smiling helplessly.

"I surrender……"

"..."

Maria's fists stopped.

Her cold face was filled with suspicion, but she did stop her fists and stared silently at the woman in front of her.

Xingxiong had no choice but to repeat his words with a wry smile.

"I surrender... I don't know what I did to upset you, but I think there's no need for us to fight."

"Aren't you... one of their companions?"

"Not really. I just wanted to see what these guys were up to, and if they did anything dangerous, I could stop them... But, it seems like I'm not needed right now."

Xingxiong let out a long breath, glanced at the gangsters lying on the ground, then looked at Maria who was asking questions in front of him, shook his head and smiled.

Prevent?

In a sense, I did come here to stop it.

But instead of stopping these punks, it was to stop Maria.

If the punch I just threw at myself had hit an ordinary person, it might have been fatal!

Is this woman so cruel?

Thinking of this, Xingxiong looked at Maria again.

After she raised her head in surrender, Maria hesitated for a moment, but still retracted her fist and silently took a few steps back.

After exchanging a few glances and confirming that Xingxiong had no intention of attacking, she turned around and began to search the spot.

"What are you doing..." Xingxiong asked curiously.

"Collect the loot."

Maria picked up a wallet and pulled out a few blue bills.

"what?"

When Xingxiong heard Maria's words, he was also stunned.

Trophies?

Is it popular these days to describe robbing money in such a nice way?

And you say it is this quirk of this outsider?

After seeing Maria unskillfully take out the wallet from the other person's pocket and take away all the Lungmen coins in it, he smiled helplessly.

Such awkward movements... She probably doesn't do this kind of thing very often.

After thinking for a while, Xingxiong shook his head.

"Are you short of money now?"

"..."

Maria didn't answer, but just turned her head silently to look at Xingxiong, and then continued searching quietly.

But Xingxiong was not discouraged, but took a few steps closer to Maria.

"You must have just arrived at Longmen today...Have you found a place to stay?"

"..."

"If you don't mind, my house is quite big. Are you interested in coming and resting for a while?"

"……Why?"

Maria did not rashly agree to this strange stranger's request. She just turned her head and stared at her vigilantly.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Maria is not the type to trust others easily.

And Xingxiong has his own reasons for doing this.

"I'm from the Longmen Guards... Even though these thugs are responsible for their own troubles, it's not very safe to let a dangerous person like you walk around."

"Longmen Guard Bureau?"

"Don't you know? If you don't know, you can just think of it as the operational organization that manages Longmen."

"The city garrison?"

"Ha... Such an old saying, but... the meaning is pretty much the same."

Xingxiong Danshou put his hands on his hips and looked at Maria in front of him with a smile.

This woman... is very strange.

Although he's very strong, he doesn't seem very familiar with modern society... Is he from some isolated little place?

Xingxiong was thinking.

Maria lowered her head in silence for a while, then nodded decisively.
