Xiao Zhe and Xu Hua walked into the tent where Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were chatting with others.
"Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, your chance to make a contribution has come."
Xiao Zhe smiled and said.
Qin Yu was stunned and looked at Xiao Zhe:
"Xiao Zhe, what do you need Deng Xiao and me to do?"
"You can see it too. A dying Sparrow King is floating on the water surface of the pond. As long as you kill this Sparrow King, it will drop Genetic Fragments, Secret Technique Manual, and special Magic Weapons."
Deng Xiao was stunned and said:
"Xiao Zhe, you want Qin Yu and me to pick up that Sparrow King?"
"Yes, Deng Xiao, this was decided after a discussion between Xiao Zhe and myself. Currently, only your Beast Souls are birds in the team. Only you can fly, so it’s not too difficult for you."
Qin Yu frowned, stood up, and said:
"Xiao Zhe, Deng Xiao and I can indeed fly and get the Sparrow King from the water, but there are hundreds of fierce Mutated birds in the sky now, and dying tilapia fish are in the water. Sending Deng Xiao and me to get the Sparrow King is sending us to our deaths!"
Xiao Zhe’s face changed, and he said coldly:
"Qin Yu, watch your words. Have I spoiled you over this period? What contributions have you and Deng Xiao made to our team so far? You’ve been eating and drinking freely. Our team has sacrificed over ten companions in hunting Mutated Creatures to find food for everyone. Just at this pond, we lost five comrades. Are their lives cheap, and are yours more precious?"
What Xiao Zhe said indeed makes sense. Many people have died in the fight for food and Mutated Creatures.
Qin Yu and Deng Xiao looked at each other and couldn’t refute even for a moment.
Xu Hua glanced around at the people and said:
"It’s not that Xiao Zhe and I are heartless to force Qin Yu to take risks. You also know that this pond is controlled by Yang Xiao. He holds the advantage. He decides how the fish we catch are distributed. Why does he dare to give us orders? Isn’t it because his Combat Power is currently the strongest?
According to the agreement, the King Tilapia in this pond must go to Yang Xiao. By then, he will gain another powerful Cultivation Skills and Weapons, and he will become stronger and stronger. We’ll never be able to catch up and will only obey his orders.
Now the opportunity has come. Heaven has sent us a Sparrow King. If Qin Yu and Deng Xiao could take the risk to obtain this Sparrow King, we might get powerful Cultivation Skills and Magic Weapons, which would be very helpful for our entire team’s future survival!"
As Xu Hua said this, the people around naturally stood by Xu Hua’s side, pointing at Qin Yu and Deng Xiao.
"You two should also contribute to our entire team."
"Weren’t those who sacrificed themselves for the whole team?"
"Don’t think a pretty face can get you out of work. It’s the end times; the team won’t eless people."
"Everyone must contribute for the team to survive!"
"For more than a month, you’ve been eating and drinking freely in the team. Leader Xiao Zhe has always taken care of you. Shouldn’t you be satisfied and give back?"
Amidst everyone’s discussions, Qin Yu and Deng Xiao suddenly felt isolated and a deep sense of fear and chill surged in their hearts.
Everyone spoke with such righteousness as if sacrificing Qin Yu and Deng Xiao could help everyone gain a chance to evolve. All would agree to their sacrifice.
This is the apocalypse. Qin Yu and Deng Xiao had no choice.
Qin Yu gritted her teeth and said:
"Fine, I’ll take the risk to try. But, can Deng Xiao be spared? Sacrificing me alone is enough. If I can’t retrieve the Sparrow King, sending Deng Xiao is pointless."
Deng Xiao felt a warmth in his heart and immediately said:
"No, I’ll go with you. We live or die together."
Qin Yu looked at her friend Deng Xiao, and the two held hands, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
"Ahem, don’t make it so tragic. It’s not as dangerous as you think. Aren’t we here to back you up?"
Xiao Zhe cleared his throat, deliberately acting relaxed.
If Xiao Zhe ever had an infatuation with Qin Yu’s beauty and felt some pity for her, this chance to enhance his own strength made him completely abandon Qin Yu.
Qin Yu gave Xiao Zhe a cold glance, and Xiao Zhe felt an inexplicable chill within.
Qin Yu’s body trembled slightly as she activated her Beast Soul, instantly transforming into a giant lark and soared into the sky.
Deng Xiao transformed into a giant magpie, flapping her wings vigorously to catch up to Qin Yu, and they flew side by side.
"Hey, quickly look, someone in Xiao Zhe’s team has transformed into two birds. They’re flying towards the center of the pond, what are they up to?"
Yang Xiao and others were startled, immediately rushing out of the tent to watch.
"What, boss, what are they doing?"
"What else, trying to snatch that dying Sparrow King on the water. They don’t know how to live or die. That Sparrow King may be injured, but there are dozens of giant Mutated tilapia below the surface. It’s clearly a death wish."
Yang Xiao said faintly, not worried about Xiao Zhe’s people taking the Sparrow King.
Beside him, Huang Wen looked for a moment and suddenly asked:
"Who else in Xiao Zhe’s team has a bird-type Beast Soul? I heard last time it was Qin Yu and Deng Xiao... Oh no, that’s Qin Yu and Deng Xiao."
Huang Wen suddenly remembered that Qin Yu and Deng Xiao also came up the mountain with Xiao Zhe, and she knew that both of them had awakened bird-type Beast Souls.
They were both her friends, and Huang Wen immediately grabbed Yang Xiao’s hand anxiously.
"Boss, think of a way to save them, please. That’s Qin Yu and Deng Xiao. They’re my good sisters."
Yang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said:
"They’re looking to die. What can I do?"
Huang Wen panicked, suddenly trembling, activating her Blue Peacock Beast Soul, transforming into a giant peacock, and flew into the sky towards the pond.
"Damn it, Huang Wen, do you not want to live? Come back quickly!"
Yang Xiao shouted into the air.
Huang Wen, eager to save people, no longer listened to Yang Xiao.
At this moment, Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were already flying to the edge of the pond’s center. Gritting their teeth, they dove toward the Sparrow King on the water.
"Qin Yu, it’s dangerous, come back!"
Yang Xiao stomped his foot,
"This troublesome woman, she’s going to be the death of me. Feifei, Chen Fei, Chen Lu, Dai Yun, with me! Nobody else runs around."
Yang Xiao said, took a step forward, jumped into the pond, heading straight for the center.
Feifei and others paused for a moment, then also charged out.
Xiao Zhe, Xu Hua, and others were standing outside the tent watching how Qin Yu and Deng Xiao would seize the Sparrow King. They suddenly saw Huang Wen transform into a Blue Peacock and fly over, and they were all shocked.
"Yang Xiao is so shameless. He sees us sending people to retrieve the Sparrow King, so he sends someone to snatch it."
Before the words were even finished, Yang Xiao and others rushed over.
"Damn, isn’t this overboard? For a Sparrow King, Yang Xiao personally stepped in. Xiao Zhe, should we also dash over?"
"Of course, what are you waiting for? Let’s go. I won’t let him have that Sparrow King."
Xiao Zhe said, transformed into a Werewolf, and dashed out. Xu Hua and a dozen team members immediately followed.
