Chapter 506: Chapter 504: Why Use a Cleaver to Kill a Chicken?
Ice rain froze, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.
Sally, protected by Divine Armor, fared better, while the twin sisters shivered uncontrollably.
Yang Suomi asked Alice, “Can you set up a Defense Barrier?”
Alice nodded and cast the spell.
However, her mana was limited, so once she set up the Defense Barrier, her attack power was reduced.
Dark shadows began to gather around, emitting a rotten and evil aura… Wawat shouted, “It’s the hell carrion hounds, Level Fifteen monsters! Everyone, be careful!”
Except for Welly, everyone entered battle mode.
As a warrior, Sally naturally took the forefront.
As for what Qianqixiya had said about staying comfortably at the back, that was impossible—there were hell carrion hounds behind them as well.
Leaning against a tree with sparse, gray leaves, Welly seemed to have an affinity with the ice rain, which appeared to avoid him intentionally.
In her hand, Sally held a Divine Sword that complemented her Divine-grade Armor, easily converting the hell carrion hounds into a heap of experience points, with some dropping items and materials occasionally.
Qianqixiya was an archer, attacking from a distance.
Seeing a vacuum form around Welly, she rushed over there, gazing at him admiringly, “Can I stay here?”
Welly nodded in acknowledgment.
Qianqixiya drew her bow and shot, rarely missing, hitting the hell carrion hounds.
“Brother Wen, how well do you think I shot?”
“… Heh, not bad.”
“Why can’t I feel any mana fluctuations around you, yet the ice rain doesn’t fall on you?”
“Secret.” Welly curled his beautifully slender index finger to his seductive lips, his voice magnetic and ambiguous.
Qianqixiya’s face immediately turned scarlet, her heart racing uncontrollably…
Alice, sensing something, looked in the direction of Qianqixiya, saw her speaking with Welly, and called out, “Qianqixiya, come here!”
Although Qianqixiya was somewhat reluctant, she still obeyed her sister and jogged back to her.
Sally had nearly slain half of the hell carrion hounds and then stood on a small hillside, seeing a village in a valley flatland.
The entire village was completely frozen.
“Is that the place?” Sally asked team leader Yang Suomi.
Yang Suomi replied, “Yes, that’s Yan Valley Village.”
After exterminating all the hell carrion hounds, the team began advancing toward Yan Valley Village.
Qianqixiya, arm in arm with Alice, was restrained from wandering off, an expression of caution on her face.
[Host, the virus that froze the village ahead is an offshoot of the Cold Frost Virus.]
[Hmm, do you want to take action, or should I?]
[The host might let them act first; you let them have 96% of the experience points from killing those hell carrion hounds just now.] 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
[Eh! Wasn’t it supposed to be divided equally?]
[No, they only gave you 4%; from now on, the host better kill by yourself to keep all the experience points.]
[Fine.] There was still Welly, after all.
In the recent battle, he seemed to have shown no intention of participating, perhaps also sensing the unfairness.
This man was actually even more business-like than Ming Linyuan, frighteningly cunning.
Sally called out to Welly, “Husband, come here for a moment.”
“Okay,” Welly immediately quickened his steps to come to Sally’s side, helped her clean some stains on her Divine Armor with a cloth, and adjusted her helmet.
Sally: “…”
Qianqixiya looked at Sally enviously, “Brother Wen is so handsome, so meticulous and considerate. Sister Su is really fortunate, and he’s actually a real person.”
Yang Suomi seemed clueless, “He’s a real person?”
Alice hesitated, but still replied, “Sister Su and her husband both entered the game world as real people.”
And it was a common assumption among the virtual players that those who entered the game as real people were bound to have issues in the real world. The forums suggested that the vast majority of them were heinous criminals…
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Yang Suomi frowned, his gaze towards Sally and Welly growing colder.
Sally had the System Map open all this time and naturally heard their conversation.
She sighed inwardly, wanting only to complete this quest and then leave.
As she entered the village boundary, even in her Divine Armor, Sally felt a chill.
Welly held her hand the entire time and, upon noticing her shiver, said softly, “Should I do it?”
Sally replied, “No need, why use a cleaver to kill a chicken?”
Upon hearing this, Welly laughed, “Then the cleaver might just rust.”
“Don’t worry, it definitely won’t. There’s a big boss later,” Sally said, raising her Divine Sword.
With one strike, she broke the ice seal of the village.
Then, a group of ice figures emerged from the village…
[These are all humans infected with the Cold Frost Virus; you can ignore them. Once the host kills the virus progeny controlling these ice figures, they will return to normal.]
[Okay, where’s the virus?]
[In the map, at the red light spot.]
“Don’t kill these villagers first.” After Sally gave the instructions, she teleported instantly to the location of the red dot.
A huge ice-white spider-like insect was crouched over an ice figure, feeding on its brain.
Upon sensing Sally’s presence, the insect immediately opened its terrifying fangs and lunged at her.
Sally raised her sword and teleported behind the virus’s body. The sword fell… and the insect shattered into icy fragments!
The ice figures outside also melted away like ice and snow, returning to normal.
They knelt on the ground, thanking Yang Suomi and the others, “Thank you, heroes, for rescuing us.”
One of the villagers handed Welly a piece of the Holy Grail Card Fragment, “Thank you, hero, for your rescue. We have nothing to repay you with. This card came to the village with the prophet’s voice before it froze over. It was said that a brave adventurer would come to save us, and at last, the day has come.”
Welly accepted it, “Actually, the person who saved you is still in the village, but this item should be very useful to her. I will pass it on to her.”
“Many thanks.” After thanking him again repeatedly, the villagers returned to the village.
When Sally came out from the village, her shining armor received repeated thanks from the villagers.
“No need, no need to be so polite,” Sally hurriedly waved her hand and increased her pace to leave.
Outside the village, Welly held the Holy Grail Card Fragment, aware of Yang Suomi’s eager gaze fixed on the card.
“Holy Grail Card…” He seemed to recall Little Fengning mentioning it and even drawing a complete Holy Grail, but he had dismissed it as a child’s scribble and thrown it away.
“Since it’s a team battle, all the items belong to the team, so give me the Holy Grail Card Fragment,” Yang Suomi reached out to Welly.
Wawat also stood behind Yang Suomi, clearly supporting him.
Qianqixiya appeared to want to say something, but in the end, was pulled back by Alice, maintaining neutrality.
After Sally emerged from the village and saw Welly and the adventurers facing off, the atmosphere wasn’t too good.
She immediately went over and asked, “What’s going on?”
